It is stated that the sultan of Turkey in declining to recognize the demands of the UnIted States for indemnity for outrages comnniltted on AmerIcan mIssion estabhsh- meats in Turkey cIted the attItude of the Unltcd States in soilie cases where chalnms were preferred by foreign governments for damages sustained In riots by their citizens in this country. This is calcuiated to set Americans thinking. We have been so accustomed - customed to regarding the unspeakable Turk as a semi-barbarian that it is something of a surprise to find him quoting modern Instances - stances and imiternatlonal precedent against a claim for damages to AmerIcan citizens in Turkey and it Is a severe Jolt to our national - tional pride to find that these precedents have been furnished by ourselves.

If America were driven by a combination of European powers to rely upon the aid of the British , the latter , in spite of the sentimentallties of Angho-Saxondom , would need a recompense as valuable In all probability - ability as the territory in dispute. If America - ica were in a tight piace-to use a. vulgar but graphic phrase-the alliance of An- gho-Saxondom would be adroitly utilized to extort blackmail from her. The Amen- cans are well aware of this , and so will have nothing to do with an alliance with England. They arc conscious of their own strength. of their unlimited resources , and of their ability to cope with any di1culties that may arise without outside aid. There is nothing more striking In the Ihispano- American conflict than the sagacious tore- sight and the prudent statesmanship displayed - played in the conduct of the war and the foreign policy of the United States by an inexperienced cabinet , elected almost cx- elusively to deal with domestic questions of tariff and currency , The war has displayed the virility of the people , and the adnnlnis- tratlon of the country's affairs by untried maca in an emergency has afforded signal testimony of their genius and practical ca. pacity.

That havana In It exIsting eanitary condition is a menace to every neighborIng people and state , is an assertion that can be made wIthout fear of contradic. tion. That bothi the town amnd the harbor by the application of. a lIttle engineering skill can be rendered as healthy as any in the south , is , in the opinion of experts , quite practicable ; but that any steps ten- ] ing in this direction will be taken under Spanish rule is Just as surely iloti to be hooked for. Therefore the sooner this rule ceases in Cuba the better it will be for the public eahth of America and the world at large. If proof were needed that yellow fever Is essentially a disease which hiounishes amid filthy surroundings. and that when these favoring conditions are removed abates and In seine instances wholly disappears , we might cite JamaIca.

Theodore Roosevelt clIngs to the serious sithe of life so firmly that humor rareiy en- tore into his plaits withommt a surgical operation - ation , An incident illustrating this charac- teristlc is related by the Chicago Post , A dozen years ago , after a trip to hits ranch in Dakota , Roosevelt fIlled the New York papers with stories of his prowess as a hunter of big game. Lawler Trudo of Ciii- cage , who owned a ranch near Roosevelt's , submitted to an interview In which he pretended - tended to gIve ho true story of his neigh- bor's hunting. It was an intensely humorous - ous recital and was wired on to the New York Sun. Trude's story , in brief , was that Roosevelt was so near-sighted that ho could not. see anything ten feet in front of him ; that ho kept a lot of men on his ramich whose Jobs depended upon feeding his vanIty - Ity mnd making him believe that be was a mighty bunter ; that on receiving notice of his annual expeditions against the wild anl- mania of the northwest they collected a lot of tame bears and stuffed bears and other animals - mals , and "planted" them at convenient intervals - tervals on the Roosevelt ranch , and that on his hunts his hired hands steered hint against these ferocious beasts and gave him a chance to nil them with lead. Roosevelt took the Interview seriously and came back at Trude with a dreadful "roast. " A second and then a third interview with Trade followed - lowed , each one funnier than that preceding , and to each of these Roosevelt responded in a savage vein. There was no name that was printable vhich Roosevelt did not employ - ploy in denouncing the Chicago lawyer , It was not untIl years afterward that he could be made to see the joke , and to this day he gets restive it reference is made to the incident. "Commodore Schiey is about the quickest thinker I ts-as ever shipmates with , " relates a man-o'war'sman , in time Washington Star. "I was a bo'sun's mate with him when he was the commander of one of the old wind- jamnmners. We were on the South Atlantic station. 'We pulled into the harbor of Moo- tevidec for fresh provisions one morning , and Commander Schley's gig was dropped to take him off to the beach to see the American consul on some business , Schley , then the gig's crew pulled her alongside the gangway , stepped Into the boat with a good deal of difuculty , for Montevideo is the roughest harbor in the world , and with the motion of the ship and the rocking of the gig It required some seamanship to get aboard of the running boat. The cox'un of the gig gave the order to shove off a bit ahead of time , before Schley had got aft to his scat. Just then a big wave struck the ship on the port. side , amid she keeled over , whiio the gig rose almost hevel with the starboard gun'ls , A big gun was hanging with her snout directly above Scbley's bead when this happened , and if he hadn't ( lone a bit of rapid thinking his skull would have been crushed like an egg shell. He just happened to take in the situation out of the taii of his eye , however , and he dropped into the bottom of the gig on all fours in the nick of time to save his life !

The last bulletin of the United States Do- partmcnt of Labor , just issued , contains the results of an exhaustive inquiry into the liquor industry as a consumer of raw ma- tenials , an ennployer of labor and capital and a producer of revenue , federal and local. The more interesting portion of th report is that setting forth the experience and practice of employers in respect to the use of intoxicants by employee. Reports upon this topic were collected from 7,025 establishments engaged In a variety of industries - dustries , employing 1,746,000 men , Of 6,976 employers who made answers to the question whether or not they gave consideration - sideration in employing macn to the drinking habits of applicants , 5,263 replied that such habits were taken into consideration. That Is , more than three-fourths of the employ- erg reporting make inquIry relative to tile sobriety of men applying for employment. As such inquiry is made. it is fair to assume that men who are habitual consumers of intoxicants - toxicants are refused employment at time outset. The extent of the discrimination against habitual drinkers is made more up- parent by tine further statement that 703 of 724 transportation companies and 2,940 of 3,723 manufacturIng concerns reporting pay attention to the use of intoxicants in em- pioying men , for the reason that the two employ 1,470,425 of the 3,745,023 returned by all the Industries making responses. It means practically timat all transportation companies , employing nearly 900,000 men , I and that nearly four-fifths of the mann- factuning catabliehments reporting discrim- I mate against men who are nuidicted to the turn of intoxicants. In trade , 471 of 63 establIshments reported that any general use of intoxicants counts against applicants for employment. It appears ( rein other tables that all men emIiIoyel are not required to abstain from the use of intoxicants. The transportation companies are the most rigid. Of 570 trans. portation companies which make some re- quiremnents , 203 requIre total abstinence of mmii , eu or off duty ; 1G7 require it when on I duty and 200 recognize it in the more un- pontunt empioymnents. In all industries the prohibition extends to all the higher grades of emplayes and to those holding respon- aible positions. The rcaon given by ent ployers generally for requiring ahatluenco is that men wIno have the drinking habit arc more unreliable and less to be trusted in places of responsibility. Vbiip all who have reported are not of the opinion that Saturday as pay uiay is conductive to inlemperance , by far the larger part are of the opinion that It is. IL - sppeArs that 24 estabiishmenhi have changed pay day to sonie oilier day In the week than Saturday In the effort to lessen the drink habit , whIle torty.evcn which lmave paid their help on some other day have changed hack to aturdny for the same ptlrpcse.

A firma employing a large number of men In handling coal In Chicago and Milwaukee pitys its nien by ciwck , so that it is able to ascertain shere its eniployes turn theIr bank orders Into ready money. It finds in Chicago that 64 per Cent cashed their checks for a given two months at s5loons dntl G per cent at groceries and other places. In MIlwaukee 43 iet cent tvent to grozeries and other plaCes , anti 57 her cent to tatcomis. In Chicago , only 7 hier cent of the Swedes went to saloons. but i7 per cent of the Poles banktd with the saloon keeper. Theo statistics do iiot warrant the conclusion that tine men cashing their checks at the saloons spent all thmeitmnoncy there , but rather that it large part of the common labor in large cities frequent such places , the saloon being its club. 'nit ? deductIon which may he made front this interesting article is that the man who is known to have convivial habits is debarred - barred to a large extent from time more icaponslblo and most desirable employ- meats , and that the tendency In all employ- meats , even those in which skill is not required - quired , is to employ the man of tempernte habits , not as a tootLer of sentiment , but of economy. Time statistics referred to go to sustain the statement often mnn'le by the Journal that the imitchiigemit demmmand of the most extemisivo employers of labor of alt kinds for sobriety is the most poteqt agent now fighting intemperance. .t liOOM Dit'INIiNG , liui.I ItCMN S (1 ( tutu intctth' I ii& ttprIne , Ii of 'e"ee , Boston rrimmmscnimit.
