The annual convention of the association was, of course, expected to fmpress it- self forcibly upon the Colorado women, and through them upon possible re- cruits for the order. Women in politics means just what it says. Sectarian men and heaviest taxpayers in the city, and he will be elected in spite of any defection that may be caused by the bought nomination of Johnson. TALKING ANNEXATION. According to recent veports from the Canadian capital there is a revival of the annexation feeling in the Dominion, and what is more interesting, if these reports be true, this revival is largely due to the discouragements of the im- perinlists. Last year there was held an intercolonial conference at Ottawa, at which it was agreed that self-govern- ing colonies should take steps to plac L other's products in whole or in part on a more favored customs basis than is accorded to the like products of foreign countries, and it was suggested that Bngland should revive the poli abandoned half a century ago, of gr ing preferential treatment in her m ket to colonial expor The other half of that policy, namely, preferential treat- ment in the colonial markets to British manufactures, was kept out of sight, not being popular with colonial protec- tionists. The colonial secretary under Lord Rosebery did not approve of this iden, holding that the self-governing colonies are not at liberty to make favored-na- tion arrangements between themselve or with foreign powers from which Britain is excluded. That, it was urged, would break up the empire in short order. Among other objections to the intercolonial plan it was said that to tax food and raw material comin, from foreign countries like the United States, while admitting them from Can- ad; nd Australia, would of course put money into the pockets of colonial farm- ers and British landlords, but would be death to the British manufacturer and artisan. This discouraged the Cana- dian imperialists and they are still more disheartened, it is said, by the fact that the present colonial secretary, Mr, Cham. berlain, is no less hostile to their poli Quite as strongly as his predecessor he Dbelieves in the big loaf for the British people and is not prepared to make any concessions to the colonies which would in the least discriminate against Lng- land. This is the condition which, it is said, {18 reviving sentiment in Canada favor- able to annexation with the United States. A correspondent at Oftaw; quotes “a prominent Canadian” as say |z “Now is the time for Amerlcan | politicians to be statesmen. Coercing us would be a fatal policy, yet they need not kill us with kindnes Let them be Just and neighborly, pointing out that they would be glad to admit us to all the material advantages of American citizenship; let them show themselves nelghbors wishing to do us a good turn, and willing to accept our modest assist- ance in solving the future, and the two countries will speedily be one.” This, according to the correspondent, is a sam- ple of what one hears on every side in the British provinces of Outario. There may be more or less of this sort of talk |in that purticular section of the Domin. lon and probably among the French Canadians there is a considerable sentl- ment favorable to annexation, but it is ve proseription can find a lodgment with women as well as with wea, fore a change in the political adwinls de! | ¥ questionable wheher there Is as | much of this feeling in the Dominion | |now as there was three years ago, be- | | States promised the Canadians freer ne- coss to the Amerlean markets. Tndeed, the expressions of Canadian politicians fdentified with the government, as given in Intervlews with the representatives of Ameriean newspapers, indicate that there is really very little annexation sentiment in the Dominion, but this is to be taken with some allow ance. At any rate, there is reason to believe that the annexationists are not a growing force there and that they are not strong enough to cncourage Ameri- | can politicians to make any move for th furtherance of annexation, thongh there | are some who would be glad to do so did there appear to be a favorable op- | portunity. 1t is not unlikely that there | of conrse nest republican lou sentatives | in some form. of repry FORE-DOOMED "T0 DE: Whom the Gods wish to destroy first make mad, That old ( Kk adage received strik- Ing exemplification in the action of the republican distriet judielal convention. With the exception of the handful of ates representing the three outside counties, the personnel of the conven- tion was made up almost exclusively of the howling ish faction. With such material its controlling element it is not, surprising that the convention e 1 all decency and public sentiment, dishonored the party and cod itself by heading its judicial ticket with the redoubtable Cunningham R. Scott, and giving him as companion candi- dates five reputed members of the dark-lantern order. The only con cossion made to the respectable element of the party is the endorsement of Judge Keysor, who was sure of re-election without this endorsement. The recklessness of the gang that, the name of the republican party, seel to debase our judiciary to the pot-house level was shown by its refusal to re- nominate three cut of the five republican Judges, who have, in the main, s ed ereditably, and none of whom had low- ered the dignity of the bench. It goes without saying that the indecent action of this republican convention will be repwdiated by the party in No- vember ina manner that will teach a wholesome lesson. they as disgr other in bogus WHE SOUTH CAROLINA PLAN. The dominant political element in South Carolina, through its represent- tives in the constitutional convention, is determined to climinate the negro as 4 factor in polit They declare their purpose to do this even if as a conse- quence the state loses two votes in con- i nd in the electoral college. White supremacy is to be perpetuated at what- ever cost. The article proposed for the new constitution, relating to qualifica- is for suffrage, provides that until January 1, 1808, every citizen of South Carolina shall be registered as a voter who can read an article of the con- stitution selected by the election of- Gicers, or can transeribe it or explain it after it has been read. After January 1, 1898, only such citizens shall be reg- istered as voters as can read and write and possess property of a taxable value of $300. The educational test has a fair aspect, but it ix casy to see that white | voters might get through with it while negro voters would be excluded. It would be all in the hands of the election officers and these would be cham- pions of white supremacy they would lose no chance to disfranchise a colored citizen. The spivit manifested by the men who are in control of the South Carolina constitutional convention nly not in accord with republican institutions, but reasonable man could, perhaps, expect anything different in that state, whose people have always been hostile to the true principle of re- publican government. It is possible that the national power will again have to be fuvoked to secure justice to a large body of the citizens of South Carolina. is no INJURING THEIR CAUSE. It is to be apprehended that the cause of the Avmenians will be more or less injured by the riotous outbreaks in Con- stantinople, for which they appear to be directly responsible. Admitting the intolerable character of the provocs those unfortunate people have suff from the eruel and despotic rule of Turk, a provocation so great as to ex- cuse almost any measure of resentment, still it is to be said that the present was 2 most inopportune time for the Arme- nians to precipitate a conflict in the capi- tal of the Turkish empire, where they were recelving Dbetter protection than elsewhere, At a time when the powers are insisting upon the institution of re- forms in Armenin and the judgment of the civilized world supports this insist- ence it was clearly the dictate of wis- dom that the Armenians everywhere in the Turkish empire should be peaceable and patiently await the consummation of the plans of the powers for securing them better protection. That the Ar- menians resident in Constantinople were not influenced by this consideration shows that there are among this people some who are rash and reckless, who are not strictly submissive to the disci- pline and guidance of Christian princi- Ples, and who are not beyond the con- trol of paxsion and an intemperate zeal. Their unfortunate conduct has given the Turkish government a new reason for putting off the proposed reforms and a {new argument for the necessity of the severe policy it has pur- sued in the treatment of the Armenians, of which it will undoubtedly make the greatest possible use, very likely with effect upon those governments which are thought to be behind Turkey in its refusal to accede to the demands of the powers. But unfortunate and deplorable as was the riotous outbreak in the Turkish eapital, it would mauifestly be unjust to hold the whole Armenian people respon- sible for it or to allow it to operate to the prejudice of action for the relief of | those people. ‘The demands for reform in Armenia are founded upon justice, they are dictated by every considera- tion of right and every sentiment of humanity, and it is the duty of the ci flized and Christian world to firmly in- sist that they be carried into effect, e The Avmenians, whatever their faults tration of the governwent of the United + ‘:lllll wistakes, should not be longer sub- Jocted to Apgatyranny and bratality of Turkish ....flu,.......‘ which I8 repugnant to the spirit of the age and a reproach to civilization™ Thore would be, of course, a speedy and fadieal change were it not for the jealougy among the Furopean powers with vespect to Turkey, but the game of rulers must er or later yield to thel'Will of the people, and the Armenlans be given the rights and the protection syhich, in the judgment of enlightened, uayikind, they are entitled to. LoeL A SCARCITY OF SKIL The industrial LED LABOR. the supply, thus repeating an experi- |is a plan to get this subject before the | CNCC common to periods of more than ordinary industrial activity in this coun- try. Of unskilled labor there is a plenti- ful supply, as there always is, but of that which is teained in the higher work of the various mechanical pursnits there are opportunities for well paid employ- ment almost everywhere, One thing suggested as explaining this ses r skilled Iabor the extraordinary Wil of new forms of mechani production. The development of ap plied electrical science, the construction of the bicyele, the manufacture of tin and the makivg of structural iron and | steel, are noted as having within a few vs made great demands upon the skilled Iabor market. In all these indus. tries inteliigent and trained working men are required and with their rapid development it hias been found diffienlt to get all of this class needed, while the expansion of the older industries 1 alled for many skilled workers. It would seem that there should never be in this country a seareity of well instructed and competent labor and there would not be but for the restric- tions that are pit upon the youth of tl land in the matter of acquiring me chanical knowledge. There are many thousands of hoys all over the land to day—intelligent and ambitious Ameri can boys—who would gladly learn teades if they could get the opportunity. but this is denied them. It is perhaps a fact that most American boys do not want to learn trades with a view following mechanical pursuits, but there can be no doubt that there are enough who do to keep the supply of skilled lahor equal to the demand. This is clearly shown by the number who avail themselves of the technical schools in which the mechanical arts and sc ences are taught, but only a very snufil fraction of those who would become skilled mechanids if they could can get into these isehools. Not only are the pplications for admission greatly be- yond the aceommodations, but there are thousands of boys eagerly wanting the owledge tliere fmparted who cannot afford to attend these schools. The leading érgan of the iron and steel indusgry, referring to the urgent demand for-xkilled labor in that indus- try due to’the marked revival, says it now appeats {o be absolutely necessary to devise further means of conducting manufactuing éperations by labor sav- ing machinguy if, the supply of work- men cannotiiit fome way be augmented. It also says that the highest grade of workmen cannot be recruited from abroad. “It must essentially be a homs product, trafned in American methods, dominated by American ideas, and gifted with American ambition.” But it we cannot have the Lome produet, and the evidence seems to be conelusive that it is not being supplied as rapidly as the demands of the market, unde: normal conditions, require, why it i plain we shall have to do the best we can with the forelzn product. Obyi- ously what is needed is greater freedom for American hoys to learn mechanical trades. Perhaps very few would coun sel a return to dhe old apprentice tem, now virtually extinet, and in any event It would probably be impossible to restore that stem, but it is prac- ticable to remove some of the restric- tions which prevent thousands of in- telligent and ambitious boys from learn. ing trades, and only those who arc prompted by utter selfishness will make any objection to this being done. to ter in the current Century, who professes to know whereof he speaks, asserts that the great mass of the army of tramps take up that life voluntarily and from choice, and that almost to a man they have been inmates at one time or another of the reform school or the jail. The newcomers in the field of trampdom are, he says, nearly all sturdy young men who, if they were only so disposed, could earn an honest living. This explanation of the origin anps must take some of the glamor away from the business. It must also remove the strongest grounds for sympathy upon which the profes- sional tramp has played. People who turn tramps because they want to be tramps have not much claim for as- sistance in their pursuit. According,.to. the story told by John W. Schaeffer: of the Omaha signal of- fice, his conivicttbn on the charge of at- tempted graye robbery was not just. That he wasmot a principal in the ¢ pedition is ¥hofin by the record. He was led to beligye that Dr, Overton had authority fromt the poor officers exhume the body and was induced to as- sist the doctor, who was a professor in the medieaf ecollege at Des Moines.
