JI XI < 1- A mi now comes a German parson who wants his government to build forty battle shipsand wipe the Unit ed States off the map. The battle ships, he says, could be finished within three years. Yes, and then they could be finished again in about three minutes if they happened to run afoul of one George Dewey, American soldier. However, Ger many and the United States have no intention of keeping on anything but the most friendly and amicable terms. ———♦•«------ • Now that the boys will soon be coming home from Manila it will be in order for everybody to honor them for their brave deeds done in foreign lands in defense of their country's Hag. The boys have in deed fought a good fight, and dem onstrated the bravery and courage that we all credited them with pos sessing. We are immeasurably proud of the achievements of the Oregon boys, but at the same time that we are giving them all the praise we should not forget the brave mothers who fought the first battle in giving up their boys, with little expectancy of ever seeing them again. Before the boys sailed for Manila the mothers had fought their battles and won, and it was but natural for their sons, followed bv the anguish attending that first battle, to acquit themselves so no- bly in the jangles of Luzon. T he jokes which have been going the rounds of the editorial columns about Ex-Senator Peffer being dead and buried in the Kansas political mausoleum, have all been sadly mis directed. Mr. Peffer now declares, in announcing his return to the publican fold that it is not he populism that is dead.

T he ilelusionists who keep on re- pea ting the same old tune which they sang in lS'.MT about the scarcity of primary money are apt now to run across people who will quietly inform them that they are back numbers.

S ecretary of War Alger, is de fended by the San Francisco Chron icle in this outspoken editorial note: Secretary Alger has not been abused any harder than was his predecessor, Secretary Stanton, and the chances are that when his war record is summed up without prejudice he will even gain popularity.

T hat President McKinley is not playing polities is shown clearly by his refusal of thy offer of Colonel Bryan's regiment to re-enlist and go to the Philippines. At the time of the offer, operations were very active in the islands and had the president chosen to re-enlist the patriotic Nebraska regiment and send it off to the Philippines for fighting purposes, leaving its origin al commander at home to wander about the country making speeches, the ex-colonel’s war record would have been looked upon by the peo- pie as somewhat below par. A dmiral D ewey will count «31,000 yearly salary, and then doubtless refuse to accept contribu tions from the American laboring men to buy himself a home. Buying a home for Dewey would be a fitting popular tribute to the man who in a day raised the United States to a posi tion among the nations of the world, which with all its wealth and power, it lias never before occupied, and moreover, it would be a tribute to the gallant admiral that would en able him to live in pomp and splen 'I'nolh u <’«■ |>t ii r.-d .

Some men who never go into vicious dissipa tion use up their en ergies just as much by overwork or late hour?; and nearly all women are compelled by circumstances to use up their vital powers beyond all rea son : It may be in housework ; or social demands ; or the bearing and rearing of children At any rate the candle of life is too rapidly consumed.
