Confidence Jn Americans.
IN VIUW of the note3 of alarm
sounded and the slanderous In
sinuations niralnst the United
States government that havo
been uttered for months past by the
traitorous element known as antl-lm-pcrlallsts,
the recent expression of
faith In the administration on the part
of Ll Hung Chang Is refreshing proof
that the efforts of the mischief makers
have not been so far-reaching in re
sults ns the noise made would Indi
cate. In discussing the gloomy situa
tion In the Orient, Ll Hung Chang, the
greatest of Chinese statesmen, says
that the Americans nlono want no ter
ritory and that he Is willing to trust
the case to them unreservedly for set
tlement. The viceroy understands and
appreciates the wisdom of the adminis
tration In Washington In taking
prompt measures to protect American
citizen In the localities whore dlsor
ler threatens to grow beyond control
of the olIlclalH of the Chinese govern
ment, 'but feels no alarm over the
anll-Impcrlalistlc nnd Democratic
campaign battle ballads which would
uccuse the president of a desire to ac
quire territory beyond the seas. The
resolution and philanthropy displayed
by the government of the United
States In accepting the burden of the
Philippines that came as an Incident
of war have produced an effect upon
the nations of the world that can
scarcely be comprehended by the nar-rpw-minded
breeders of dlscontent.who
manufacture arguments to be used In
efforts to belittle the president and
high officials at Washington.
When one contemplates the work ac
complished by our troops at Manila, It
Is not surprising that the United
States should be rated among the most
formidable and generous powers of the
earth. The rapidity with which organ
ized forces of Insurrection were dis
pensed and the consideration that has
been accorded the vanquished foe have
not only established the prestige of the
American soldier as a fighter, but
have demonstrated to the world the
unselfishness of tho United States
government In dealing with the vexed
problem.' brought about by tho war
with Spain.
Tho coterie of discontent that is tol
eiatcd with good nature in this coun
try can not or will not view the situa
tion ns It is, but to the world at large
the course of the government has ever
been of a nature to inspire respect and
contldence.
The story to the effect that the Pro
hlbltloiilstb will embrace Democracy If
a temperance plank can be spiked to
the Chicago platform will find few be
lievers. The elements of Democracy
nnd Prohibition can never be success
fully mixed.
Mr. Hoar's Preference.
-f y URING THE months follow-
I 1 Ing the close of the war
I J with Spain Jt Is probable
that the utterances of no
other mnn.-''lri" the senato gave more
delight to the Hryan Journals through
out the country than those of Senator
Hoar. The arraignment of the admin
istration ori tho Philippines policy by
th.e vinorable statesman from Massa
chusetts, who hai been among the
front : t'r.hlc of Republicanism during
tho ,mojt' critical periods of the na
tVpn'f history, was one of the choicest
bits of thought ever laid aside by Dem
o'cratlc pptll binders for future cam
paign material and effective work was
pxpectpil of orators and writers who
could give tho most startling repro
duction at tho coming battle toe the
presidency. It mu3t be with sadness
anil chagrin therefore that leaders In
the unpromising struggle In tho In
terest of Bryanlsm contemplate tho re
cent remarks upon tho subject by Sen
ator Hoar. While declaring that ho
has been and still Is "opposed to the
pqllcy which brought on tho war In
thS Philippine Islands," Mr. Hoar em
phatically asserts:
('President McKlnlcy and Governor
Roosevelt will have no more earnest
supporter In the country than I shall
be, whether we consider the character
of'.tho candidates, the character of tho
counsellors they will bring with them
lntj power, the effect of the prosperity
nnd happiness of the American people,
or the ultimate triumph of liberty and
justice In tho distant Islands which
have been brought under our con
trol." Further on In his statement he says:
"I think' the future of the Phlllpplno
elands safer in tho hands of President
AN PUBLIC opinion under our
form of government put forth
sufficient power to make com
pulsory tho nccpptnnco, by
both parties In a wage dispute, of the
award or a court of arbitration? In
other words, Is there available to the
public a sovereign remedy for the
great loss nnd Inconvenience which a
prolonged strike Inillcts upon persons
not directly connected with the start
ing of the strike loss nnd Inconven
ience usually far In excess of those
experienced by either of the Immediate
participants? This question, which it
forced upon public consideration by
such frightful upheaval of disorder
as characterized the recent street
railway strike In St. Louis, Is various
ly answered. The Republican of this
city thus well states tho negative
view:
"Public opinion never tan nnd never
will "make acceptance of the award
of such a tribunal compulsory upon
both parties to the litigation.' It
would bo possible by extreme meas
ures to ccmpel one party to the dis
pute to accept the Judgment of n court
of arbitration, and It Mould be espec
ially fasy to do so If that party were
a corporation or had possession of a
public! franchise which was necessary
to the conduct of Its business. Let us
take the St. Louis strike for nn Illus
tration. Under n compulsory arbitra
tion law the dispute would have been
submitted to a court with power to
adjust the difficulty. When the de
cision wan icached It might not be ac
ceptable to tho railway corporation.
But it the law was bulllclently drastic
the corporation would have no choice
but to accept, for a refusal mlsht
mean the forfeiture of the frunchlbe
under which tho corporation's railways
are operated, or It might mean the
annihilation of the corporation by the
abtogation of Us charter. A cotpora
tlon If nn artificial person. It Is cre
ated by the state and Is possessed of
certnln special rights nnd privileges
bestowed on It by the state. It Is,
therefore, subject to regulations and
limitations which nntuial persons
would not tolerate. The power that
creates a corporation may prescribe
any rule of conduct for it. The award
of a board of arbitration could, there
fore, be enforced against nn employ
ing corporation without changing the
fundamental principles ofi-modein so
ciety in the least. But how about tho
other side? If the hypothetical court
of arbitration in St. Louis rendeied a
decision distasteful to the men how
would It enforce Its award? If men
consider their services worth two dol
lars a daj and a board of arbitration
decides that they are worth but a dol
lar and eighty-five cents, who is going
to compel the men to work for tho
reduced rate? Could tho power of the
county ot the state or the nation put
those St. Louis men on the street cars
and tell them they would have to run
them, and collect tho fates? It Is the
Inalienable right of a citizen to work
for whom he chooses and for what
wnges he deems Just, If ho can get
the employment nnd tho wages. But
nobody can compel him to work for
less, or to work for an employer whom
he does not like. An award of a court
of arbitration must nece.ss-arlly be a
one-sided affair which may be accepted
or rejected by the laboreis ns they
please. This fact keeps the official ar
bitration idea in disfavor, and would
lender It useless whet ever It might be
trliM."
Yet It Is a fact, stated by eminent
authority, that In New Zealand nn ar
bitration law, virtually compulsory In
Its process, has been In successful oper
ation for a number of years. Under
this law either workmen or employer
may petition the court to take under
Judicial review questions in dispute,
and the com t's decision, subject to one
nppeal, Is binding upon both parties
for a term ot two years save In tho
enrller event of the interposition of
new nnd Important evidence. The ap
peal Is to a .supreme court of arbi
tration, whose mandate Is final. It Is
made by law the duty of every man
affected by a decision of this tribunal
to accept the Judgment during tho
period nnmed; and if he disobeys he
becomes nn outlaw whom tho state
may seize and punish. The essence of
the Ntw Zealand law Is t'-at orderly
boelety has the tight or sel.-protei tion,
which Is a right higher then the In
dividual right to Interrupt or mennco
the peaceful processes of society by
arbitrary stoppage of employment or
labor.
Wo appreciate tho practical difficul
ties In the way of the adaptation of
such a plnn to American conditions.
But uro there not practical difficulties
under the present plan? Can we view
as tolerable In free America the spirit
of anarchy that names Into public vlo
lence and outrage the moment that
opportunity or incitement Is supplied
by a general stilke? is this to bo per
mitted to develop unopposed In tho
fear that society, In protecting Itself,
might heio and there step on nn In
dividual's toes? Bear In mind, 11 Is
not a problem of capital solely. Tho
men who get shot when violence oc
curs as In St. Louis, or the women
who are denuded by maniacal mobs,
ate seldom capitalists. Labor Invar
iably has to bear the burnt of the
mischief and In tho long run to pay
tho damages. It Is to labor's interest
most of all that effort should bo put
forth to substitute arbitration and
common sense for destruction and
lunacy; and until the attempt to es
tabllsn compulsory arbitration Is madu
In good fnlth, under tho gonernl rec
ognition by society of Its superiority
over brute passion, It seems to us that
It will be premature to affirm that It
Is an Impossible remedy. Our courts,
Imperfect though they bo, aro already
trusted to pass on questions Involving
llfo und death und their awards ar
accepted and respected alike by itch
and poor. Is It beyond teason to trust
them with determining Judicially the
details governing labor's employment
which now, at great expense, go for
hap hazard arbitration to tho mad
court of King Chaos?
An example of what may bo accom
plished by enterprise and persist
ent and Judicious advertising Is Illus
trated In tho cuse of Thiee Oaks, a
bustling Michigan town which Is to be
dedicated today. Thiee Oaks It Isjjald
possesses less than a thousand souls
nnd Is situated far from the main
thoroughfares of commerce, yet
through the enterprise of its citizens
and lending newspnper, "The Acorn,"
the little town Is liable to become as
well known as the home of a winning
National league base ball nine before
the week Is over. Unlike the nverage
town of one thousnnd Inhabitants
Three Oaks has not been content to
sit back In oblivion and nllow the con
vention cities and strike centers to
monopolize the attention of the world,
At the close of tho war with Spain
the citizens mndo request for one of
the souvenir ennnon thit were being
distributed and secured a gun. An ln
vltntlon wns also extended to Admiral
Dewev to lslt the town. The admiral
has not as yet availed himself of the
hospitality ot the citizens but Three
Oaks does not propose to occupy a
rear bench upon that account. To tho
dedication of the town today the
whole country has been invited. Not
withstanding many regrets, it is prob
able that the celebration will bo a suc
cess. Tho enterprise displayed by Its
citizens Is deserving of recognition.
Other towns could well afford to fol
low tho example of Three Oaks.

I hen again it would em that the oompirison

Mr. McKlnlcy we know, and we know Mr
Hit in. It would not be easy to tell the people
ant thing new about either, so well are their
eharuters and temperaments understood. Mr.
McKlnlcy has been a quarter of a century in
pidltles nnd public life, Mr. Ilrtan a deiaele.
He bxs nowhere gained a hnn footing, and his
political Ideas are k shifty that he lias ap
pealed succrtofuUy to the Populists and the
Pdiiocnts, two parties whose original prin-.
pies nre tt holly incompatible. They can dwell

presenting his beliefs to the public. He is
personally an engaging tjpe of man, and his
orator Is most agreeable. It li ea-y to tin

uprightness of character, and his pleasing vr
t.onality and his immense earnestness, It Is plain
that the American people do not trust him, Thcv
withheld their tontldmco four cars ago. And
Ilrtan himself has done nothing whatever to en

desire tn see him president. If he protes

He caught up tint isue Just as the thinking

Resenting an Insult.
To the growing crop of Uoosetelt stories we
shall hate to make contribution. liirly in
Tcdd's public career, he aroused the dislike of
the thug clement at Albany by a tlgorous cham
pionship of cltil sen ice reform. In those das
he w.-u quite dandified in his elrrss,
lletween Albany and Walcrtllet stands a roid
side Inn, much freipiented by pedestrians Teddy
used to take a brisk walk each morning, pMi-c
at this inn for lunch, and thus equip himself
tor a day's strenuous life In the legislature, one
morning, while eating this lunch, he otcrhcard
one of a group of toughs lefer to him ns a
"blankcty blank dude." The remark was made
insolently and was plainly meint to be our
beard. Teddy quietly concluded his meal, paid
his bill, wiped bis moustache and sauntered oter
to the fellow who hail maile the remark.
"My friend, can jou fight? If ou can, put up
tour binds, for that ' dude' is going to
lick the stuffing out of ou."
The- tough squareil off nnd Teddy let him have
one that sent him to the tloor. A moment later
the tomch was floored again. When ho had
