The late unpleasantness between' this country and Japan er tho Immigration and Pacific coast school questions besides the undoubted hostility of a great part of the Japanese empire towards tho United States on account of the part it played in bringing about peace between Japan and Russia, without the latter having to pay a humiliating indemnity, are enfflclent reasons why this country should not now bo called upon to act am mediator in any case in which Japan i involved. Not that wo as a nation ear tho Japanese empire should any euch case be decided against It, but because the later action and sentiment of the Japanese people in holding our government to account for bringing about peace between the two warring nations without tho payment of an indemnity, is more or less of an insult and shows a lack of confidence on their part in our fair-mindedness and Impartiality. For theso reasons alone we believe it would be more consistent with the dignity of our country if it would decline to act in any capacity with regard to relations between Japan and other countries.

WASHINGTON AND Interesting Incidents

By Mrs. John A. Logan. Washington, March 7 Ambassador Creel, from Mexico, has made a most favorable impression in Washington on account of his statesmanlike abil ity. He is thoroughly in earnest in his efforts to further every movement which is made in the direction of iversal peace and especially for happy relations between the Republic or Mexico, the United States and the fivej Republics of Central America. At a luncheon recently attended by j all the delegates to the conference of I the organization known as -The Federatioa of Central America,"' Mr. Buchanan, the American delegate, told that in the city of Buffalo they had ! organized what they call an "a nniver- j sary club," which would furnish oc- j casion for the frequent meeting of con-j

genial persons to discuss various iin- policies of the United States, treatises portant subjects in the line of har- j on international law, discussions of the mony and good will among all peoples, i internal problems now confronting this Ambassador Creel took advantage of government, the trusts, the question this suggestion to propose that the i of railway regulation and the like." It "anniversary" idea be adopted and in-j proves that the delegates were desperstituted all over the country, the ob-! ately in earnest and beyond any quesjeet of which tihould bo the keeping" tion. much yood will follow their vis-

before the people continuously the idea of peace in Central America and other republics. It is a very wise move and if these clubs are organized and men placed at their head who are resourceful in the matter of furnishing inspiration for united action on the part of the countries of North and South America and Mexico for unity and peace, they will assuredly bear rich fruit and do far more than the annual, biennial and triennial meetings of persons interested in universal peace. Each country would send its delegates to the general conference of these "anniversary clubs," and in the meantime the frequent meeting in the various places where clubs might bo organized, the question would be kept constantly alhe, and theso clubs could carry on a campaign in the interest of education that would enlighten the people of the republics and convince them of tho wisdom and importance of the provisions of the treaties between these republics, which, as n matter of fact, depend absolutely upon the good faith of each in carrying out their purposes. In union there is always strength, as has been more than once exemplified. Much could bo accomplished by a distribution of literature in tho native language, which would attract the attention and confidence of the inhabitants of tho five republics. Mr. Creel had no doubt that the suggestion would be welcomed by McxTO PUSHCANDIDACY Committee Has Been Appointed by Post C to Work For E. E. Lebo. THE POST IS ACTIVE NOW.

Notes of the World of Labor

A big campaign has been instituted for the organization of boilermakers and Iron ship builders at Buffalo, N. Y. San Francisco, Laundry Workers' union has decided to begin an agitation against Japanese and Chines laundries. On May 5, at Youngstown, O., the Amalgamated association of Iron, Steel and Tin workers will hold its annual convention. Central Federated Union of New York, is carrying on an earnest campaign to obtain the construction of Ehlps in government yards. An effort is being made to have all cement workers unite under the jurisdiction of the American Brotherhood of Cement Workers. Another effort will be made this year to pass the bill granting employes of the government printing office an extra four days' leave of absence annually. This will be a popular move as many' members enjoy a patue of billiards. 1 12. I'- I-'inulay enjoys the distinction of being post C's lust dressed member. at We understand the Iiotcl rak Wef.t.

world Is coming to the realization of the potency of peace. The idea of a "United States of Central America"' is not a new one by any means. Statesmen have had the subject under discussion for a number of

years not with the idea of urging that the union be established, but with an aim of keeping track of all political, events by speculating on the future and preparing in advance through the gtU(3y of evolution. i it xvill likely require many years for; . Ule republies of Central America to iget together. Sentiment is rather explosive in the hot countries, and trouble is not long in brewing. Jealousy is a characteristic of the Latin-American republics and hangs like a millstone about the necks of the whole-hearted men who are devoting their lives to strengthening and improving their governments. There are many who believe that the United States of Central America j was near realization more than one time, but the movement was sidej tracked by ambitious politicians and i jealous statesmen. Then again, there are great business interests holding valuable concessions in the various countries, which were obtained more in the nature of a royal grant than as a reward for any benefit they might have been able to bring to the government. It is natural that in Washington, lies united, the Government would take on a new aspect. It is true that the disinclination to sacrifice identity is a great stumbling block in the way of amalgamation and is basis for an argument that effectively appeals to the people from a sentimental standpoint, this notwithstanding the fact that the uniting of states into one nation, is not the obliteration Since the strong campaign against child labor was started in 1000, legislation for the protection of children or for compulsory education has been passed in seventeen states of the union. Minneapolis, Minn., has become headquarters for the employment of structural iron workers, and hundreds of men are sent out each year to all parts of the United States and Canada. In the English town of Redditch about 3,000 men and women earn comfortable wages as needle-makers. They put about fifty hours a week in model factories. Redditch's yearly output of needles is In excess of 2,000, 000,000. The motor-omnibus strike in London, England, ended recently. Tho collapse was due to the fact that tho strike pay, which the men declared was promised, did not amount to nearly so much as they were led to believe. PREACHERS' MEETING .

EXTREMELY INTERESTING.

I N GLOWING TERMS VICKSBURG' CITIZEN TELLS OF THE BRIL-! LI ANT CAMPAIGN OF ITS HERO.! ROBERT E. LEE. In the days when cannon boomed around certain Southern cities, the newspaper business presented more difficulties than the jrreat and much tooted dailies of today, if it can be judged from an interesting copy of the "Vicksburg Citizen" which has just ; come to light. j The paper is owned by Mrs. Wesley Clark of Liberty, Ind., mother of Mrs. G. N. Snyder of this city. It was published July 3, 1S63, just one day before General Grant entered the city, and bears the distinction, probably of be-1 ing the only newspaper ever printed on wall paper. On one side printed in j regular old style type of that day, is the reading matter, while on the back is a dark old-fashioned design. Editor's Decision. According to the story of Mrs. Clark who was in Vicksburg at the time of the seige, ipe Union forces had captured tie paper supply intended for the "Citizen," and used it to wad their guns. There was no paper to be had in the beleaguered town but wall paper and the unhappy editor had to choose between suspending publication at a time when history was being made about his very ears, or use the wall paper. He choose the latter course and for several weeks tho subscribers of the "Citizen" read their paper on one side only and on the other found a variety of rich floral designs. Was Last Issue. The copy owned by Mrs. Clark was the last issue of the "Citizen" printed on wallpaper and with the instinct of a connosieur she saved it and brought it north with her after the war. General Robert E. Lee. One of the interesting "stories" in the paper is an account of General Robert E. Lee. It shows what the confederacy thought of and wrote about him while the great conflict was going on. The Southern scribe wrote thus: "Again we have reliable news from the gallant corps of General Lee of Virginia, elated withh success, encouraged by a series of brilliant victories, marching to and crossing the Rappahannock, defeating Hooker's right wing, and thence through the Shennandoah Valley, driving all before him, threatening Washington City and within a few miles of Baltimore, Lee and his men are striking terror into the hearts of all Yankeedom. Like the Scottish chieftain's braves, Lee's men are springing up from moor and brake, crag and dale, with flashing steel and sturdy arm ready to do and die in the great cause of national independence. Today the mongrel administration of Lincoln, like Japhet, is in search of a father, for their Old Abo has departed for parts unknown. Terror reigns in their halls. Lee is to the left of them, to the right of them. In front of them and all around them; and dally wc expect to hear of his being down on them. Never were the French in Algeria more put out by the raids of Ab Del Kader than arc tho Federals in Maryland, Washington City, Pennsylvania and Ohio by the mercurial movements of Lee's cavalry. "We lay before our readers In this issue an account of Lee's brilliant and successful onslaught upon the abolition hords and even from their own record, how our eallant boys of the cavalry flash their swords to the hilt with their vaunting foe. "Today Maryland is ours, tomorrow Pennsylvania will be and the next day Ohio now midway-like Mohammed's coffin, will fall." Another interesting paragraph is from the Union camp itself: "The Federal General McCIeland, until recently outside the rear of our city has been superceded. He and Grant could not run in the same harness. He was for splurging and Grant was for gassing, both got the loggerleads. So poor Mack has to leave and Grant has all his own way." The copy is valuable because it is genuine. This issue of the paper has been widely copied and sold to travelers in the South. However, Mrs. Clark knows that her copy is genuine as she saved it herself at the time of publication. SLEPT ELEVEN DAYS. Came Out of Slumber in Perfect Health. Spokane, Wash., March 9 For more than 2TO hours Dr. W. A- Egbert of Spokane was in a dsep sleep. After forty-eight hours he was supposed to be dying. Watched by nurses and relays of doctors, he came out of his slumbers with a clear. vision, a good appetite and in perfect health. A 1 brother practitioner and several of them say the case is a complete puzzl. During his sleep Dr. Egbert's body ! was limp and he seemed like a man dying. He says tho sleep was not the I result of any liquor or narcotic, and I mat the whole period is a blank to him. He became unconscious January 2v in his office down town, and it was not until February 1 that he awoke in the hospital.
