It’is authoritatively stated that the name of Nelson J. Bozarth, of Valparaiso, will be presented to the democratic congressional convention as a candidate for the nomination to Congress. Nelson J. is a man of remarkable versatility of politics. He apparently makes the rounds of all the parties about once in 8 or 10 years, and whichever party he happens to belong to, he bobs up at. their congressional convention as a candidate for the nomination.

Orders for seventy-seven locomotives have just been received from the Russian Government by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. In addition to these the Baldwin people have booked orders since April 1 for ten for New Zealand, six for Spain, five for Egypt, two for Argentina and one for Mexico. The Richmond works last week received an order for seventeen locomotives for Japan, makings total of ninetyfour export orders in one week. Other orders received by American builders from foreign countries since April 1 bring the grand total up to 172, and still further contracts are pending for delivery of locomotives in Russia and Mexico. Another instance of the triumph of “intelligent labor highly paid." It is the American policy which has made possible this successful invasion of foreign markets with American productions.—American Economist.

President McKinley publicly stated, months ago, that this nation would not interfere between Cuba and Spain until circumstances rendered it so necessary on our part that the civilized nations of the earth would agree in the opinion that such action on our part was justifiable and necessary. We have interfered and the result is that only one of the lead-

ing Christian nations of the earth gives us her sympathy. None of the other nations believe in our professions of humanity and disinterestedness. They all believe that we are in the war from selfish motives: for territorial and commercial aggrandizement. In fact it is doubtful if Great Britain, our only friend, very seriously believes in oUr professions of unselfishness, but rather sympathizes with us on account of the community of our language, descent, and institutions. And who shall say, in view of the great public sentiment in favor of grabbing and letaining, or trading off to other nations for more desirable property, all of Spain’s outlying possessions, that those other nations are not justified in their contemptuous disbelief in the unselfishness of our motives? We do not believe that President McKinley thinks for an instant of increasing our territorial limits by the war further than the securing of a number of desirable naval stations; and the papers and speakers who are publicly advocating a grab-all policy are not only nerving Spain to a desperate prolongation of the war, but are also taking the surest course of provoking a ruinous European coalition against us.

A Good Thing to Keep Up.

The movement among patriotic American women to boycott millinery, wearing apparel and other articles obtained in France as a means of resenting the unfriendly expressions of the French people in connection with the present war seems to have attracted considerable attention in different parts of the country. Should the war continue for any great length of time and should French sympathy for Spain continue to be swayed by French holders of Spanish bonds and securities the American boycott may easily grow into large proportions. It is the one weapon which the women of the United States can effectively wield in their country’s behalf. It may not come to a total rejection of French finery, but if it should go so far as to direct general attention to the indisputable fact that nine-tenths of the merchandise annually sent to this country by France is as well or better made in our own country, the partriotic movement would not have been barren of excellent results. Keep it up.

Costly Shortsightedness.

The difficulty experienced by the war authorities in obtaining suitable vessels of American register for the transportation of troops to the Philippine Islands is an object lesson which Congress should learn, digest and remember. Much valuable time has been consumed in the chartering of steamships carrying the Stars and Stripes, all because of the scarcity of that class of vessels. No such difficulty was experienced on the Atlantic coast, although ships of the requisite speed and coal carrying capacity were none' too plentiful even on this side of the continent. For the fact that the best grade of streamers for auxiliary war purposes. those qualified to serve as scouts and transports, sail under foreign flags there is no difficulty in locating the blame. The whole story is told in the long years of foolish neglect to inaugurate a policy which should create and maintain an American merchant marine. The costly shortsightedness of this neglect is just now very apparent. Will Congress learn the lesson?
