The Metric System. The effort begun long ago to introduce the metric system of weights and measures into omt.nm lis in this country has not teen attended with the success which those in favor of the innovation anticipated. Scientific men took to the system kindly, but it tt ct with little or no favor from the great mass of the people and hence is as yet but comparatively used, although many years have passed since the first favorable legislation was enacted by congress. The system is simplicity itself and has mucn commend it to general adoption, but the prejudice against its use is hard to overcome. However, if a bill now before congress should become a liw the success of the innovation will be assured at last.

The bill referred to was introduced by Congressman Hurley, of Wisconsin, and has been favorably reported from the house committee on coinage, weights and measures. It provides that after July 1, ISPS, the metric system shall be employ in the transaction" of all governmental business requiring the use of weights and measures, and that it shall be in general use throughout the United States not later than July 1, 1901. True it is always difficult to persuade the people to do what they do not want to do, and it may not be an easy task to convince them that the old system of weights and measures should be abandoned in favor of the new, but we believe that if Congressman Hurley's bill becomes a law it will be the means of accomplishing the desired end. The people will not long stand out against the metric, system after it has been officially adopted by the government, for it is vastly superior to the old English method of weights and measures, and needs only to be tried to be approved. The St.

Patrick's day celebration passed off quietly and was. on the whole, a very creditable demonstration. The condition of the streets rendered it difficult, to get about but the wearers of the green were everywhere, and the programme of arrangements was carried out as advertised. A Good Law for Europe. By all the arts of statistic jugglery and false logic at their command, the Democrats have endeavored to make it appear that the Wilson tariff law is a success, but their efforts have been in vain.

The measure is today one of the most unpopular that was ever passed by an American congress. When we say this, we have reference of course to the ill favor with which the statute is regarded in the United States, for there are places where it meets with warm approval. The Wilson tariff law is popular in England and upon the continent of Europe. "now the question that naturally arises, is why this Democratic tariff should be hated in the United States and loved in Europe. The explanation is not a difficult one to give.

The passage of the Wilson law was a blow to American manufactures and American labor, as the sequel has proved. It closed our mills and factories, drove our workmen out of employment, cut off the national revenues and transformed the federal government from a self sustaining institution into a humble suppliant for repeated loans. Since the Wilson bill was passed the government has borrowed two hundred and sixty two million dollars and it will be compelled to keep on borrowing so long as the provisions of the free trade act remain as they are on the statute books. These facts account for the wonderful unpopularity of the measure in this country. The extreme satisfaction with which the Wilson law is regarded in Europe, is explained with the same ease, that the dislike which the people of the United States have for the measure is accounted for.

It has opened the American markets to European competition and they are being flooded with the products of cheap foreign labor. American workmen who used to wear good clothing manufactured from the wool that grew on American sheep, now array themselves in shoddy garments made out of imported rags, while our wealthier classes clothe themselves with the products of the foreign wool en manfactuivr. Months ago it was freely admitted in England thu the town of Bradford, the center of England's woolen industry, had been saved by the Wilson tariff. It is in the height of prosperity now, while our own similar industries are languishing for the want of encouragement and support. No wonder Englishmen regard with satisfaction an American law which operates so largely in their interests.

But lot us come to the main point. For whom should our lawmakers legislate? For the people of the United States or for those of Europe? The Democratic policy favors the latter and that is why the Democratic party finds itself a hopeless wreck. The people of this country propose to look out for themselves, to guard their own interests, build up their own industries and enrich their own government. They are for protection because they know and appreciate its benefits, to which the Democratic free trade leaders in their infatuation are blind. But the folly of the latter will cost them dear, for as a deserved punishment the people will drive from place and power and restore the government the control of a party that has never betrayed the country into the hands of the Philistines of Europe.

One serious objection to entering into a permanent peace agreement with England is that Leaureate Austin would be sure to perpetrate a oem on it. Kansas City Journal. Of two evils always choose the least. Let the war come. The eisteddfod conducted yesterday under the auspices of the Robert Morris Lodge of Ivorites proved a highly gratifying success.

The literary and musical compositions were of an unexpectedly high order and reflected great credit upon the contestants. The managers and adjudicators are also entitled to much praise for the success it to and sk'U with which they performed their duties. There is an abundance or talent possessed by our countrymen of Welsh birth and extraction, and nothing is better calculated to draw it out than the time honored and national institution known as the eisteddfod. Mr. Booth's Anuv Badly Named.

It is difficult to comprehend how a man possessing the good sense with which Mr. Ballingon Booth is generally accredited could have made such a blunder as he did in selecting the name, "God's American Volunteers," as the proper designation for the religious movement which he contemplates organizing. There are several objections that can be raised against this appellation, but the most serious one is that it appears to be almost blasphemous in the familiarity with which the name of God is coupled wi'th that of a body of men and women. There may not be anything really sinful in making such free use of one of the terms by which Deity is designated, but the practice is no; a good one and proves highly offensive to many refined Christian people. Then there is the implication that "God's American Volunteers" are going to be a little better than the members of the Salvation Army or those of any other religious organization, and this will not advance the interests of the new movement, which, had it been started in the proper spirit and named with becoming modesty, could not have failed to win hearty support But intelligent Americans do not take kindly to the "holier than thou" sort of pretensions, and if Mr.

Ballington Booth wants to meet with encouragement and support in his new departure we would advise him to re christen his proposed army without delay. The name, "God's American Volunteers," is not only suggestive of irreverence, but it is awkward and provincial. A less intolerant, more euphon ious and broader designation is needed. True Christianity is confined to no country or nationality, but may exist in England, Russia or Hindoostan in just a much purity and perfection as it does in America and a religious movement organized on lines so narrow that it cannot include the whole world is not apt to result in permanent success. The Italians know when they have had enough; hence rhe withdrawal from further military operations in Abyssinia.

What the Raines Bill will lo. The New York Press has a very high opinion of the Raines bill which it says will do all these things: It will make New York a high license state. It wil make the law abiding saloonkeeper independent of the politician and send the law defying saloon keeper to jail. It will end Tajnmay Hall blackmail and break the political domination of the liquor 1't will close 40 per cent, of the saloons, whose number, 40.000, stigmatizes Xew York as the drunkenest state in the Union. It will wipe out the disgrace of having one saloon to 150 people, when the average of other states is one saloon to 317 people.

It will abolish the centre of political corruption in every community of the state the excise board. It will disband a standing army of over 100,000 political heelers and distribute its membership among the productive industries of Che state. it will give the city of Xew York S2.tJO0.0ort a year in increased revenues and decreased taxation. It will reduce the burden of the taxpayers of the whole state. 7b' per cent, of which is borne by the tax payers of cities, by or 5 per cent, of the whole levy.

It will increase the revenue of the seven chief cities of the state by 200.000. It will remain upon the statute books for all time. A measure capable of accomplishing such glorious results as those outlined by the Xew Y'ork journal should certainly "remain upon the statute books for all time;" but we fear'the Press is anticipating just a iivtle too much when it predicts the conversion of the Xew Y'ork political heeler into a productive industry. It can't be The McKinley men of Xew Y'ork are planning for a big mass meeting to be held in Cooper Union next Monday night The Armenian Atrocities. The indifference which the Christian nations of the world manifest concerning the fate of the Armenians is the most astounding disgrace the boasted civilization of the nineteenth century has ever suffered.

The atrocities inflicted upon these defenseless people by the followers of the False Prophet, and which are still being inflicted, are too horrible for description. The truth will never be told. We have it on the undoubted authority ot the British ambassador at Constantinople that twenty five thousand persons are known to have perished, while from some of the massacres no detailed reports have been received. The exact number slaughtered cannot be ascertained, but it is reasonable to suppose that forty or fifty thousand Christians have died miserable deaths at the hands of brutal Mohammedans. One would naturally suppose that such awful slaughter would move the nations of Christendom, but they do not seem to be stirred.

But what is still more remarkable, the bloody work goes steadily on, and yet there is no protest from Christian Europe. The Turk means to abolish Christianity, and to accomplish that. object he hesitates at nothing. Not only does he employ the arts of the assasin, but he becomes a systematic dtbaucher of Christian women that he may rob them of self respect and degrade them a3 low as possible. Even when their lives are spared, the poor Armenians are doomed to a fate worse than death.

Pursued by hunger and made the victims of the vilest outrages, would almost seem that even God has deserted them. How long is such injustice to be continued? Will the civilized nations never interfere in the name of God and humanity? Perhaps, but before they do the sword, outrage and famine will have accomplished their work, and the Armenian race will have been practically wiped out of existence. That is the way it now looks at least. The poor Armenian appears to be doomed, for the powers of Europe must attend politics and watch each other. They have no time to waste in saving men and women from being massacred.

The matter might as well be settled in favor of the women first as last, for they'll get there in the end. The attempt to foist the tariff question on the public as the main issue will not do; the public knows that it i not the issue today at all. and that 'all minds' are concentrated on the all Important question whether we are to have money which will be accepted the world over, or an issue of so called dollars which no foreign mer chant would look at twice, and which no citizen would take unless the gov eminent guarantee to redeem it on sight Brooklyn Eagle.

The Brooklyn paper is of course en titled to its opinion regardless of the fact that such a conclusion is of no earthly value. Xo particular effort is reauired "to foist the tariff on the public as the main issue," for it as sumes prominence of its own accord. The American people want protection and mean to have it, just as they in tend to insist upon the maintenance of a sound currency, and the two issues ill go hand in hand during the next presidential campaign. Both are Republican and any effort to separate theni must prove futile. "We contend for honest money, Plainly declare the Ohio Republican and.
