Evolution Of the Fsacemaker.

AsN0AuNAOH u the ECACGm@hEEs
Recently Berlin apprised the world
In no uncertain tones that Germany Il
interested In the Balkan question. Evil
IDENTIFY the kaiser has learned through
his little tilt with the public that It f.
better by long odds to say a strong
thing occasionally than to keep feed
ing out sensations. In all his utter
aiIces on international affairs the Ger.
man emperor has been consistent With
the old doctrine Of the realm that
nation can have peace only when Il
can command respect. That was wher
Germany saw possible enemies In it,
continental neIghbOrs.
Now when the kaiser speaks fol
Germany as a world power there is In
his tones the same old ring Of assur
ance that the nation Is strong enough
to command respect. Once the power
behind the imperial frown or threa:
was big army. Now II Is a big army
plus a big navy. Once the cry Of the
would be peacemaker Of Europe was
for n big navy; then 1t was for big
ger navy. Now the same lips demand
the biggest navy In order that all the
world shall respect Germany's will and
mandate The first martial Hohen-
zollern ransacked the earth for big
soldiers 10 inspire his neIghbors with
fear. The Prussian who now aims to
do as Frederick the Great would do II
he were here wants the biggest navy
In order to command the respect of
the world, and the world must either
take his word for It that he seeks the
general peace or 1T can keep Ger
many's navy down to second or third
rank.

true, but such a statement wonId

lneir part. There Is an old saving
that "A fool never changes his mind, !"
ana we presume the democrat who IA

consider himself In that class. II Is
common report that the Journal Is
about to step into the shoes vacated
by the Press and we certainly have
no objections to 1t taking our cast on
clothing and being received with
open arms by democrats. The Press
has known for several years that Its
Independence made II the object OF
hatred by leading democratic poll
ticlans. and more than once we have
been invited by them to leave the
party. They have no use for other
former republicans and silver repub-
heans who have been affiliated with
them and would be just as much
pleased to see these leave the party
as ia the democratic politician who
rushed into print in the Journal 10
show his pleasure over the action
OF the Press. and the Press would
advise All former silver republicans
20 abandon the party that detests
their presence aud would be pleased
at their departure.

PRINTING OF QUALITY.

II is now the dark OF the Moon
and the Journal editor is unable to
see the sun shining. He Ia still growl-
ing and grumbling about the county
printing because the county officers
and commissioners refused to further
be swindled by the cheap paper and
inferior workmanship which he was
forcing upon them under his low
priced contract. We are prepared
to prove by the price lists of paper
dealers that some OF the letter heads
which he worked OF on the county
cost 30 cents per 1000. Think Of II,
the officials OF county like KoOten-
al being compelled to use stationary
OF the cheapest grade. The commits
sioHsrB did not let the contract to
the Press because its bid was the
lowest, but took into consideration
quality Of stock, workmanshlp and
responsibility. They had been bunc-
oed enough by having wood pulp pa
per palmed on ON them for bond and
linen, and cheap wood pulp envel-
opes. The fact Is that the prices OF
the Press will average 90 per cent
below the regular commercial rates
and that Is as low as the work can be
done Without defraudlng the county
IN quality OF stock. The public does
not care to have its officials disgrace
the county by using such inferior sta
tionery. When an individual or In
dividuals will give the Press print
Ing at more than double the bid OF
the Journal 1t means confidence In

: In a dispatch from Philadelphia regard
ing the strike situation there occurs the
following paragraph:
-."Benjamin Rice. the first motorman to
abandon an elevated train. said that his
Wife found a note on the porch of his
little home in West Philadelphia this
will blow up your house This unnerved
him. and he felt he must quit. When he
abandoned his crowded train. the pasSen-
gers sent up a loud cheer, and this in
fuenced the crew to also quit Other
crews followed suit
i Benjamin Rice's right to work is as
good as the next mans. He was taking
no mans place, was infringing on no
mans privileges. He was merely willing
and anxious 10 continue to do his duty
and to earn living by honest means
But when he found his family menaced
with death he chose the course of secur-
ity and unfathfuness. He lacked cour-
age to go on and do what he had a per-
feet right to do
The tyranny of the strike plays upon
this lack of courage 1t terroriZes the
men who have no grievances and reduces
them to an even mons abject slavery than
the bondage to the employer of which
the agitators talk so glibly. This is the
yaunted land of the free but the Ben

caused to the country before the legisla-
tive phase of matters was reached. The
bare threat of free silver triumphant at
the polls would have produced panic.
just as the threat of free trade trium-
phant at the polls produced the panic OF
1893. II was never possible for the demo-
cratic tariff plank of 1892 to be written
into law; but the business interests did
not know what was coming and in their
alarm took in so much sail that every
thing came to dead halt. The alarm
caused the panic.
At this time the south is much in evil
dence. Her votes in Congress have for
years been cast for what is called free
trade And yet her business interests never
were fatty opposed to her politicians on
that subject, and made themselves felt In
the revision of 1894, as they are now doing.
Business is business. and the southern
business man knows what is best for him
as well as his brother in the north. Poll
ticians may say what they please when
out for votes, but when it comes to re-
deeming CUFF with legislation the southern
business man insists on being heard
1t was the same way in the days of the
agitation for free silver coinage. South
ern business men never supported that.
They knew their interests and the inter-
ests of the national credit too we'll to
subscribe to a policy which would in oper-
alton have wrecked us all. north and
south alike. They concerned themselves
little with the talk and the promises OF
the politicians, but had action by Con-
gress been demanded they would nave
made their influence felt with an emphasis
akin to that we are now witnessing III lho
case of the tariff

Grateful Recognition.

We're feelin' some repentant down to
Pohick on the Crick.
In sendin' men to Congress we looked
round an took the pick
OF people we thought qualified to run
a proper race;
The kind that would turn out to be
credit to the place.
We don't deny that when 1t came to
raisin' of their pay
We felt little dubious; but as time
slips on its way,
The meetin' at the cross roads store
accepts this sentiment;
Beyond all doubt or question they are
earnin every cent!
Jes' think OF havin' to go on the blazin'
summer through.
With ma ximums an minimums an diff :.
ferentials too
An fixin' up lot o. schedules that i'm
press the mind
Like chemistry an 'rithmetic an loco
weed combined.
It seems to us that we inadequately
compensate
The services our congressman are rem
derin' to the state.
We ought to raise their pay again, an
raise it high an quick:
At least sech is the feelin' here at
Pohick on the Crick.

The Sort of Revision.

5@Revision upward. or revision downward
or as few changes as possible either way
from the Dngley rates.
Since the extra session of Congress be-
gan much interesting and some ingenious
aareumcHt has been advanced in support
of one or another of these three propo-
sitions What did the republican party
promise? What does the present situa-
Zion Of the country reveal and demand
What should Congress do? What in the
way Of tariff legislation will the country
indorsc9
In such a body as Congress nice dis
fnctions are always drawn-are to be ex-
rected. Lawyers and other trained dis
putants are in a large majority in both
Houses, and all tho varied and conflicting
Interests Of the country are represented.
Every side Of general proposition is as
a rule we'll champiored. and no side ever
triumphs easily.
= AS to this tariff dispute, it is necessary
in appraisinG it to so back to its begin
nings The Dincley rates We're made for
a purpose which in some things. was
speedily accomplished. Business was so
much encourag ged and aided by them that
as early as September, 1901. only four
years after their PRONUNCIATION. President
.dcknley in a public speech suggested re-
vision. Death prevented him from MAX
ing the issue with Congress in the follow
ing December
His proposition was revision downwa rd
Nobody was compla lining that the figures
were too low, but many branches of busi-
ness. which had been benefited by them at
a time of extreme depression. showed
ttlat reductions in tariff rates could be
made
Mr.. Roosevelt upon taking office did not
challenge this attitude of his predecessor
He simply let the matter drift: and it
dTifted until the campaign for his success
sor in tie White House began to take
shape. Then sharp conflict within the
republican party oceirrred tariff revision
lists being on one side. and tariff stand
Tatters on the other. Judge Taft took his
stand with the former. and the Chicago
platform expressed his candidacy
=-ln the light of these facts. those who
now declare that a downward revision of
the tariff is not the duty of Congress lay
themselves liable to the charge of trfling
with the country. The only demand for
revision has come from those complaining
that many duties were too high No de-
mand at all came for an upward revision
Revisionists were answered with the state
ment that the Dingley rates were all
right and should not be disturbed.
AS for protection as policy. that has
no better friends than the republican re-
-visionists. They are. indeed, it's best
Friends. For when the policy is put to
any other purpose than the one declared
for it. or is permitted to outgrow its
legitimate usefulness. its friends are left
without argument for its support.

From the Philadelphia Ledger

the strike or not, that the instant rioting
and disorder begin all other questions

terest is the preservation of law and
