Peo- ple who are hot entirely dull have won- dered why American charity should be poured into the pockets of a Spanish noble- man who lost his money in an effort to es- tablish the brutal sport of bull fighting on uncongental territory, and up to this time have been unable to uncover any other ar- guments than those which have it that the bankrupt duke ts a “good fellow” and seems to be @ lineal descendant of Christopher Columbus. This country ts not indebted to the Duke of Veragua for any of the bless- ings it enjoys and it has within its own welf were he alive. It is, of course, the privilege of every one who lives in this en- there is freedom of ex- Pression, and while that continues the bulk of popular sentiment, on this side of the Atlantic at least, will favor the disburse- ment of our surplus dollars for the benefit of our own unfortunates. —__ +e ____ ‘The second race in the serfes which shall gmce more Gecide whether the yachting thampionship of the world belongs to the ‘United States or to Great Britain comes off today, and if the reasonably powerful breeze that propelled the craft from the starting point continues to maintain its force the Face will have been concluded before this Into the hands of its readers. that all the conditions are favor- test.

Capital, but that possibility does not affect the condition with which we have to deal. Up to Saturday evening the mumber of paid admissions to the fair was early sixteen millions, and unless the weather from now until the end of the month is extremely unfavorable it is easily probable that more than twenty millions of men, women and children will have paid to enter the grounds and feast their eyes upon Fiches the like of which many of them will mever again behold. As there was but one ‘Columbus so there ts but one Chicago. +++ --— ‘That the public domain still offers op- Portunities for home seekers is shown in art by the figures which are found in the annual report of the commissioner of the general land office, recently made public. It is stated that during the year which closed on the Mist of July last nearly 12,000,000 ecres of the public lands passed into the possession of settlers and citizens. Only a Uittle over 1,000,000 acres were sold for cash, and as under the present land laws the public land is open mainly to homestead settlers it is evident that the era of the settler has not yet passed. In spite of the heavy drafts which have been made in re- cent years the public domain still has re- spectable proportions, and while a good eal of the land is not considered valuable, still there is a surprising acreage available for settlement under the land laws. These facts show that as a nation we have not yet outgrown our heritage. —_— +e ____ Public sentiment will be inclined to sup- port the decision by which Judge McComas overrules the demurrer filed in behalf of Col .Ainsworth and his codefendants in the Ford's Theater disaster case. Counsel for the accused made a very strong fight and Jeft nothizg undone which promised to over- turn the preliminary efforts of the prosecu- tion, but the court has declared the indict- ments to be sound and now there is nothing left to interfere with the trial on the merits of the case contemplated by the Grand Jury and the prosecuting officer. ‘This should come as speedily as possible. — Louisiana is on record as preferring an extra session of the legislature to the mis- @eeds that are going on within her borders. ‘This is one of the greatest tributes ever ac- corded a legisiature. —>oo—____- ‘The yachtsmen might have obviated some of the difficulty about absence of wind by arranging to finish the races before noom when the Senate fs not in session. —_ +02 Pennsylvania politicians are much inter- ‘sted in the strife which has broken out between Governor Pattison, as commanier- ‘m-chief of the Pennsylvania National Guard, and Col. Jobn I. Rogers, who is the Guant's judge-advocate-general, and who was appointed to that honorable position by the governor. Col. Rogers, like the governor, is a democrat, but unlike the governor is not the fortunate possessor of @ither a state or a federal office. Col. Rogers wanted, and it ts fair to presume Still desires, to be United States naval e@icer at Philadelphia, which 1s, according to the letter written by the colonel to the governor, “a nice, easy office with an hon- erabie title and %,00 salary.” In a laud- able effort to secure this soft snap the colonel asked other officers of the National Guard for their endorsements, and secured several, some of th-m perhaps because he stated in his application for assistance that the commander-in-chief was, so to speak, one of his backers. But the governor had evidently changed his mind since last No- vember, when he wrote Col. Rogers the as- Burances on which the colonel based his af ‘| i | H BgSes if EF y statement; and as soon as he heard of what was going on he gave out for publication an interview in which he condemned the colonel for dragging the National Guard into polities. Since then there has been a sharp interchange of remarks that could hardly be called complimentary, followed by the resignation of the colonel, and a severance of those ties which have so long bound the colonel and the governor to- gether. In view of the virtue displayed by the governor in this case it may not be out of order to note that the governor himself has done that for which he condemned his staff officer. Both have erred, but only the subordinate has suffered. In the appoint- ment of his staff and in the recommenda- tion given Col. Sigfried, recently appointed postmaster at Warren, Pa, the governor seems to have been controlled entirely by political considerations. More of that con- duct will result in demoralizing and render- ing comparatively inefficient the great re- serve police force which Pennsylvania maintains. Politics and National Guard affairs will not mix and although it seems too bad that Col. Rogers should lose his commission and his hopes of becoming naval officer simply because he followed the example of his fllustrious chief, after all the punishment fs none too severe. — — +0 A vast quantity of sympathy and much timely Uberality have been expended in con- nection with the great suffering consequent upon the strikes and lockouts that have recently caused and still are causing so much disturbance in England. In the one county of Lancashire alone there are more than 300,000 men, women and children who dally suffer because they lack the com- monest ‘necessaries of life, and similar con- ditions—but affecting smaller bodies of the unemployed—exist in other English locali- ties. For this lamentable state of affairs there is a reason, and when the roll of the helpless has on it more than three quar- ters of a million of names the reason should be earnestly sought and found. To any one who has observed business conditions in the British Isles for any considerable length of time the truth should easily be plain, and the more apparent it becomes the more shameful is it. Sharp competition in the cecal market had sent prices down to the lowest point coal has experienced for many years, and it was quite certain that unless the mine owners combined they could not hope to pocket anything like the old-time profits. A combination was effected, and it was decided to squeeze the small consumer. The big factories and steamship companies had already secured their supplies at phe- nomenally low figures. The first step was to cut the miners’ wages 20 per cent, and as there was strenuous cbjection by those ad- versely interested, many were forced to strike,whtle the others were unceremonious- ly locked out. Cutting off all possibility of an increased supply of house coal sent the Prices of that necessity skyward at a very rapid rate, and in the ten or eleven weeks that have elapsed since the troubles first broke out, conscienceless capi- tal has dealt profitably but most unjustly by its employes and its customers. And while we are discover- ing motes in our brother’s eye it may be well enough to remember that our own coal combine may look a good deal like a beam to the Englishmen who are critically ex- amining the American optic. —_+--+___ The trolley car is referred to as the Jug- gernaut in Brooklyn and New York. This is an injustice. It is authoritatively stated that the Juggernaut has been greatly mis- represented, and that when it killed any body, it was regarded as the rarest surt of an accident. To bestow its title on a habit- ual death-dealing vehicle like the trolicy ear looks very much like slander. —_+++____ David B.

Naming the Animal. “What made Bluifton give that race horse of his such a queer name?" “Weil, you see, Bluffton went west and made his pile. Then he bought the horse and now the pile’s gone. That's why he calla the horse Pile-driver.” He Oh, wilt thou take a drive with me, Upon this moonlit night? She (indignantly): My auburn hair canst thou not see?— ‘That steed of thine is white! He Had Seen Them. He had been talking to the pretty girl from Boston about his observations and experiences in the west. “Did you,” she inquired, “ever see any of the Indians known as ‘excavators? “As which—oh—er, yes,” and he hastened to assure her that he had seen any num- ber of “Diggers.” Little drops of water, Little puffs of wind, Left the British yachtsman Very far behind. Making a Distinction. “Silas is earning lots of money in the city,” said the young man’s mother. ‘I don’t know about that,” replied his father, “but he ts certainly drorin’ a purty good salary.” “We're approaching a time when the aver- age man,” Says a prophet whose wisdom is subtle, “Will lock up his coal in a safe, if he can, And carry his cash in a scuttle.” A Great Convenience, “Dah’s new people libbin’ in de house ‘cross de road f'um you.” “Deed dey is.
