Many of the huropeau newspapeit severely denounce the I'nited Mates for its action in the peace congress. They evidently do not like the example set by America first, to soundly tlitashiug ibeiiencmy and pay liiin millions for the fun had in doing it. Spain never did such a thing in the whole course of ber iiatioiial existence, and she has con (iii'ied many cutiutries. Neither did France nor Germany, but both those countries seem to have forgotten de mands made upon the former by the lat ter at the conclusion of the Franco-tier man war, and that was not so Terr long ago, either. According to history the usual custom of Kurupeau nations has I coii to conquer a nation aoJ then make it pay roundly for the labor aud ex pensu of so doing. France can vouch for the truth of this assertion. I'iseiiseiiig agricultural resources iu our new possessions, Secretary Wilson s.iyj: "In the territories recently brought under the control of the I'nited Mates government, agricultural inter J ests urgently call for atteutiou by this department. Hawaii and the West In dian islands depend almost exclusively for their prosperity upon their agricul tural productions. It behooves the de partment, therefore, to place itself at the earliest moment possible iu a posi tion to extend to the agriculturists of those territories which have come under the I'nited Mates dig the services and be tit fits which it renders to the farmers of the I'nited States. "The increased trade relations which maybe looked for between the I'nited Mates and its insular dependencies, moreover, render the conditions of agri culture iu the latter, aud the character and extent of their productions, matters of profouud iuto est to the people of the I'nited Mates. In the interest of our own agriculture not only must the ag- ricultural resources of these islands then i,e studied cloeelv and intelligently, but the dangers which threaten agricultore in these territories in the form of plant diseases and insect pests must be made the sutject of special investigation, with a view to provide agriculture there with preventive or remedial agencies, and also to secure our own agriculture from the possibility of their introduction into this country. It is . urgently necessary, Uierelore, that congress should, as speedily as possible, provide a fund for the use of this department in making such investigations as may le necessary into the agricultural interests and condi tions iu Hawaii, l'orto Rico, Cuba and the l'hilippiues."' After quoting an article from the a leui tatcsmau wherein it stated that in bidding ou a contract for 1000 tons of irou piping for Glasgow, the local firms were under bid several hundred pounds by a l'hiladelpuia company, aud then when all bids were rejJcted, and new bids solicited, the l'hilidelphia firm was again the lowest bidderr and secured a portiou of the cci t act, the Review says : This news Leui shows how unneces sary the "protective" tariff of the re publican party is. Here we have Amer ican manufacturers going into the very home of the European competition and successfully defying it. Why then do then do these manufacturers desire this high tariff duty maintained? The answer is easy. It in to enable the home manufacturers, who have to pay their employes better wages than do the European firms, to develop the re sources of this country to such an ex tent that they can compete with the old world manufacturers on their own ground. We ask tba Revipw, or any free trade paper, if it ever heard of an American firm under bidding an Eng lish or iScotch iron manufacturer before the building up of that industry in this country by reason of a protective tariff? Again the Review reprints an article on the tin plate question from that rabid free-trado journal, the .Chicago Tribune, and facetiously or iguorantly remarks: Here we have a leading republican paper giving its readers some genuine democratic tariff arguments that are un answerable. The Review thcu concludes as follows: Tho utter usoluseuess of a "protec tive" tarill' upon our products should be apparent to every person possessed of a modicum of seuee. After reading the arg union ta of thti Review it is painfully apparent that every person not possessed of even "a modicum of sense, " is not dead ytt. Can Damn Without Excuse.

The I'orlland Telegram does not ap preciate what it calls "snivel service" rules at applied to poatotVu ea, and sar castically remarks: "Why an applicant lor a janituiship in the federal service, under civil service rules, should be an artistic peuuiau, is not exactly one o( the things the ordin ary mind can easily grasp. Yet it seems to be so, all the same. "Mecently CO written applications for a postofflce janitorship were transmitted from here to Washingtou, but the pen manship cd all, excepting one, rendered the aspirants unavailable to handle a dust broom. "Within a month a.foreman will have to be selected (or the postofflce building. What educational qualifications the ap plicant for such position must possess is not definitely known, but, judging from the inconsistency of the civil service rules, it is likely as not that ho may be required, to play all of Chopin's cvmpo aitiona without a mistake, and read the 'Iliad' in the original text." Referendum Carried. A Sioux Falls, D., despatch says The elate of South Dakota is (ho hut in the union to adopt the referendum. The adoption of this proposition at tue recent election, came in the nature of a surprise. The returns show that not more than 00 per cent of the voters cast their ballots on the amendment. The majorities for the Republican caudidate, with the exception ol Governor, ranged between 3000 and oOOO, aud, as the sen timent of the party was to a great eteut opposed to the initiative and referen dum, it was expected it would not car ry. The populists indorsed it iu their plat form and advocated it from tho stump before the Omaha platform was drafted, wherein the.lNational party made the referendum one of its issues. The resol utions committee of tlie republican state convention suggested the careful study of the plan by republicans with a view of securiog Intelligent action thereou. As a result of the adoption of tin ref erendum at the recent electiou, au es pecially interesting condition of affairs exists at the present time. Lee, the fusiou candidate for governor, has been elected, while the necessary two-thirds majority in both brauches of the Lgie lat ure to carry a measure oer the gov ernor e veto. Under the provisions of tho initiative and referendum, if any law ib passed by the legislature objectiouable to the peo ple, a petition mav be circulated, and if 5 per cent oi the voters sign U the act must be submitted to the eople for rati fication before it is spread on the stat utes. It is therefore eyidout that the repub licans will experience some difficulty in enacting iuto law bills which the gover nor may veto. End of Algcrism. KeWcw of Boric" . The most urgently needed reform is the absolute divorcement of the army in all of its departments from politics. It is absurd to expect the same thorough efficiency and preparation found in other departments of the public service unless the Bame methods are used. Military service is certainly as important as civil service more so in the time of emergency. Its administration ought to be conducted with the same siugle eye to efficiency, and no department of the array should be more exempt from political influence than the staff. This points at once to the most urgent reform viz., make the commanding general the real working head of the army,' instead of the secretary of war. No good results have come to the service by the extension of the secretary's powers in Grant's first administration. Most of the evils of the service can be traced to the fact that the general commanding has since that time been practicallyd deprive of his proper functions, and tho real head of the army baa been a politician, usually not versed in military science. Pro motions in the eeryice should never de pend npon political influence in any tie p&r!2i, sor should !h? rco?i!!i!en'J?. tions of a politician carry any weight in the military service more than they would in those offices filled through the civil service examinations alone. The restoration of its proper functions to the office of the general commanding, as Grant exercised them when he was commander-in-chief, would be a long step in the right direction. It would put the administration of the army iu the hands of a soldier, aud that would be an origin of all other necessary ad ministrative reforms. War on Express Companies. tit. Lous, Mo., Dec. ".Mr. William 11. Corwin, of the Merchants' Associa tion of New York, who is in the city at tending the merchants' anii-scalping conference, in an interview tells of the crusade being made in New York to compel express companies to pay the war-stamp tax imposed by the preeeut revc"ie laws. ' 1 i addition to the taking of the ipaes tl y. into the courts," Mr. Corwin said, "t'ie association proposes to introduce a bill iu the legislature this winter and to fight it to a tiiiiuh to place the express companies under the control of the rail road commission ot New York state aud regulate their charge. This fight will be a very bitter one. The Merchant' Asso ciation proposes to obtain the co-operation of every manufacturer and every merchaut in the stale of New York, aud through them to appeal to the members of tlie senate'and assembly through their respective districts to support this move ment." Efforts are luting made to organize similar movements in other f.tates. TANMIR IMHCIUI Charged with Ommlaslon ol Duty and Malfeasance In Office. Sr. Loi'ii, Mo., IVc, I.
