CURRENT COMMENT.
In order to get our new war vessels
out of the doelc It will first be neocs
Bary for .Secretary Moody and Attor
ney General Knox to get them out
of hock.
3Jy undertaking to mix ten dropH
of half-way protection with IK) drops
of colonial imperialism, Mr. Chamber
lain produced a medicine that may
upset the Urltisli cabinet.
Tcsla's latest electric conception
is to circle the earth with the wire
less system. This Inventor's runaway
imagination has hitherto refused to
work in terrestrial harness.
The presidency of the University of
Virginia has no temptation for Mr.
Clo eland. Another presidency, how
ever, mignt possibly lure him from
the privacy of his New Jersey retire
ment. One of the Washington correspond
ents has unearthed a plot to drag
Adlai Stevenson out as a candidate
for the presidential place on the
democratic national ticket. Adlai
will bo only on thu ferge of 75 when
1he next president Is nominated.
Jt is said that George 11. McClellan
is slated for mayor on the Tammany
hall ticket to make the race against
fusion and Seth Low, in New York.
McClellan Is the son of the union
general of the same name, and has
been active In Tammany afTairs for
n number (if years, having served
ncveral years in congress.
Although the Vatican at Home con
tains the colossal number of 11,000
rooms, it is no longer suilieiently
large to furnish adequate accom
modation for the papal court and to
lodge all its inmates. It is on this ac
count that Leo IXIII. has opened
negotiations with the Italian govern
nient for the purchase of the so
called Zecca or ancient mint.
According to estimates made in the
weather bureau nt Washington, the
lives lost by Hood and tornado in this
country thus far in the present year,
number at least 1,250. Natural forces,"
therefore, have destroyed within a
period n little longer than that of
our struggle with Spain more than
four times as many Americans as
were Wiled u the battles of that
war.
Tho $30,000 in bills which figured in
the bribery eases attending tho
election of Senator Clark by the Mon
tana legislature still remains a part
of the archieves of that Btate. Tho
xnan to whom it was given as a bribe
never claimed it; the briber or bribers
lmvo not asked that it be returned
nnd there is no channel by which tho
state can appropriate it as a part
of tho public funds.
Patriotic citizens who whooped
vociferously for War with Spain are
likely to scratch their heads at tho
information that 57,010 "invalids" of
that conflict have already made appli
cation for pensions along with 8,300
"widows and orphans." As more
people are killed and wounded every
Fourth of July than succumbed in
the whole Spanish war, it may puzzle
tho ordinary tax-paying citizen to ac
count for this extraordinary pension
list.
Wo sold abroad in the last fiscal
year 4,000,000 pairs of shoes for $0,
000,000. This proves that the Ameri
can shoo Is more popular than It was
in 1000, when European manufactur.
errf1 began making plans to keep it
out of the market. The growth of
our shoo trade nbroad has been one
of tho amazing features of our in
dustrial development. Ten years ago
our annual exports of shoes had a
value of $500,000. Wo now sell 12
times iih many.
An indignant protest should go up
at once against tho iconoclastic de
cree of- the superintendent of the
New York, New llavon fe Hartford
railroad putting hn embargo upon
rice throwing in the railroad stations,
belonging to tho corporation. This
ill-tempered railroad oflicial must
bo some crusty old bachelor and has
no just appreciation of the beautiful
custom of showering the departing
bride and groom with rice a custom
handed down from generation to
generation, so that no honeymoon
can bo started right without it.
It is remarked that in floods and
many other, forms of public calamity
there is no insurance and that suffer
ers must face their losses unaided. As
far as the United States is concerned,
uu important reservation must go
with the statement. In ease of a
catastrophe public sympathy hero
instantly takes the form of material
aid. The national government and
state governments act with prompt
ness. All Americans combine to lend
a hiind and in some state capitals
tents "and other relief material are
tent on liandfor cinergjndcs.

An AiMrrfl IkmichI In AVIilcli Denial Ta Maria
That Thin U "a White Mnii'rt Coun
try" Slob Spirit Do
t hired.
Louisville, Ky., June HO. At the nn
ntial session of the Afro-American
Press association, held here yester
day, a strong address dealing with
the race question was unanimously
adopted for issuance to the country
nt large. The address calls on the
people to enforce the principles of
good government in "the present
crisis in the history of the Afro
American people, when a systematic
and thoroughly organized movement,
begun in 180S, is working with mali
cious and malignant energy to utter
ly destroy the civil and political
rights of thoso for whom we stand
in some part as spokesmen. We re
sent the reiterated statement that
this is 'a white man's country.' It
was made in its inception and devel
opment by all of its people, irrespec
tive of race, and the 'federal constitu
tion specifically places all of Its citi
zens on equality before the law.
"The persistent effort which has
been made and is being made to
nullify the sulVrage guarantees of tho
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the federal constitution is fraught
with as much danger to tho peaco
and security of the federal union ns
was the effort to hitch slavery upon
the constitution of the country prior
to 18G0.
"Wo again direct attention to tho
effect produced by (ho license of the
mob spirit; we do this not because
wo are the victims in most part of
the license, but because it has becomo
a national problem with which tho
nation in its public opinion and its
laws must deal or ultimately go down
to ruin in tho mad overflow of an
archistic passion and fury. It is a
national problem in which we lmvo
only co-ordinate interest."
