It is proposed to give Admiral Cervera
a loving cup for his treatment of Hobson
and his crew during their capture by the
Spanish. It has the endorsement of Sec
retary of Navy Long and other leading,
naval men. When former foes can clasp

The "unlucky" number 13 has been
officially recognized in the New York
hospitals. Now there i9 no ward 13, but
runs 12 and then 14. In making this
change it was stated that the inmates of
the ward, when aware of the number,
were oppressed and worried, making re
covery extremely doubtful, and frequently
fatalities occurred through the constant
worry over being confined in such "un
lucky" ward.
If one should say that riding on a rail
road train is as dangerous as going to- the
front on the battle' field it would seem
tranee, yet . statistics more or less vindi
cate the assertion. In the United Stales
alone over 500,000 people were killed or
injured in the ten years past, and it ia ex
tremely doubtful whether the world's war
for the same period will equal this stu-
Tunfan firare. Ah exchange, bv way of
-"O - a ' , ,t
comparison;' says: "Every year, the de
struction is greater than the loss of both
armies at the battle of Gettysburg." fc ;
In his reply to the navy department
asking to be excused from service on the
Schley investigating committee, Admiral
Kimberly makes use of these words:
"Much to rriy mortification, this is the
first denartment order that I am unable
to honor during a naval life of 55 years.
The years are expressive of great fidelity
to his chosen profession. A man who can
apply himself diligently to any duty for
fifty-five years without interruption ie
bound to reap just rewards. It is but
fair to sav that Admiral Kimberly was
one of the ablest men who ever trod a U
S. man of war.
Frank Carpenter, prince of newspaper
correspondents, says nearly everything
used in Australia and the Antipodes bear
American trade marks. The American
bicycle, vehicle, wares, clothing and
thousand and one things a person will
meet in their daily walks of life are of
-
American make, and imitations are being
made of our products because "they sell
better." sav the residents. He further
,
says that comparatively unknown makes
of sewing-machines, bicycles, wagons, etc
are shipped there and a ready market
iound for them, through systematic ad
vertising. America does not have to wait

to secure the world's markets she has
them already. The only question is: Can
anv combination Europe can bring against

of a lifo sentence. IV the first time in
their life they saw, as they emerged from
the penitentiary gntes, a street car and n
bicycle, and it is said lor hours they
roamed about St. Paul "gawking" like
country boys in the city. A certain
class, of course, wants to lionize them,
but it is said they display a perfect dis
gust for any such notoriety. The Minne
sota law forbids their ever crossing the
Minnesota boundary line, and so the peo
ple who would lioimc them for their
criminal records will bo confined to the
state of Minnesota.
Fifty years ago the horse which could
trot a mile in 2:50 was considered a mar
velous wonder, and even ten years ago
the speed of the trotter was several sec
onds slower than at present. The grand
old Maud S. has had her record lowered
so frequently that now an animal which
can travel o faster than she did in her
palmiest days would be altogether too
slow for the modern track. Sunol, Nancy

Tillman's tirade against the black man
of the south should result in the final re
tirement to private life of the South Caro-
atatesman. He starts out witn me
bold assertion that; all men are not created
equal, and that any movement to educate
or improve the - condition of tne negro
K. linurAffel. Haviue madef
this assertion he starts out to prove it by
saying if the Negro is the white man's
equal why not intermarry, etc. Now,
this is rotteness personified, and any argu-j
ment of this sort would not be worthy of
schoolboy, let alone a United States j
senator. To say that all men are equtu
implies only in the legal sense, in their
natural rights, opportunities, etc. The
Negro may not be the equal of the white
race in intelligence, in morality, etc., dm
who would think of seriously comparing
Mr. Tillman to a Frederick Douglas or

even to a uooner wMmugwu, wuvov
labor Tillman discourages. Mr. Tillman
knows better than he says. He is not
such a fool. He is a sinking man grasp
ing at the least straw. Shorn of his
power with the intellectual class, he must
appeal to race hatred to maintain his
prestige. That's the sum and substance
nf his tirade aeainst the rights of the
black man. It is an insult to the intell
gence of South Carolina to assert that
state will long tolerate such views in one
of her leading public servants.

Why Strikers Should Succeed.
The sympathy and active support of
the United Mineworkers is a powerful in
fluence in favor of the Amalgamated ' As
sociation. The disposition manifested by
the building trades-unions to stand by
the Amalgamated Association and refuse
to handle structural steel made by non
union labor is also important. The gen
eral strike order for the steelworkers went
into effect yesterday, and was generally
obeyed. The cause of union labor thus
far in the fight with the steel trust shows
itself to be surprisingly strong, and it is
better managed than any previous move
ment was. Oregonian.
