The Bellington Booth Movement.
’1! the right side of a controversy is
always known by the side that keeps ts
ass-pa. than the Bulliogtoa B be,
husband and wife, are clearly entitled
to the sympathy and encouragement of
the American people. They have not
called their opponents liars. and they
have. to a degree greater then was to be
”Md. kept their mouths shot.
The fact that without a murmur or a
word Ballingtou Booth turned over to
the representatives of the British Salva-
tion Army all the property, amounting
to 01,000,000, that had been accumulut
ed in this country and that stood in his
name. shows him to be just. generous
I and wholly unmercenary. The money
of William E. Dodge and of those
wealthy American citizens who were,
unknown'to the rest of the world, mod-
estly and quietly backing the Salvation
leaders will now be transferred to Bal-
lington Booth's new Army.
The new Army has the whole sym-
pathyof the American people. We want
an American Army. with leaders be-
longing to this country. At the monster
meeting in Cooper Union, New York,
where the new movement was inaugu-
rated. many of the corps who had de-
serted the old organisation signified their
allegiance to the new one by wearing
tiny American flags. It was well. Why
should not their badge be a device hear-
ing the American flag intertwined with
the white flag. signifying peace and pur-
ity and patriotism? '
Ballingtcn and Mrs. Booth do well to
make their new movement one among
thsmiddleclasses in this country. There
is no clue among whom spiritual faith
has grown more cold.
In the midst of tho crimination hind
reorimination for and against Spain and
Cribs there has been one fact which
moss outcleer and fair. and that was
the unfailing courtesy. good temper and
manly dignity of the Senor Dupuy de
home. the Spanish minister to the Unit-
ed States. No diplomat's position was
over more trying thanIhis has been dur-
ing the past year. yet be discharged its
not always pleasant duties in a way »
that won for him the good will and re-
"spect of all the American people. It
was most unfortunate. therefore. after a
whole year of uniform wise action. the
minister should at last have made a
break and criticised United States sen-
stars.
As prime ministers of Italy Crispi
and Budini alternate with one another
much the same as Gladstone and Solis-
bury have done in England. Radial
will undoubtedly find some way out of
theAbyssinisn misfortune without
yielding up any of’the prestige or honor
of Italy. The world applauds his grit in
ahead to put down Menclek. It
must be done or Italy will lose the re.
spent of the nations. Grit always wins.
. On the question as to whether the .
United States is a nation or the United 1
States are a nation evidently the Lon- ’
don Chronicle has no doubt. It believes,
as true Americans do. that the United
States is a nation. pure and simple, for,

Sir Henry's paper contains otherwise
much interesting information aboutan
island which most Americans only think
of in connection with the family medi-
cine known as "Jamaica ginger. "
We Protest.
A certain newspaper which shall be
nameless is running in its columns from
day to day a series of letters from men
on the management of home and family
and the whole duty of a wife.
Married and single these gentlemen
agree almost to the last man theta
wife’s first duty is to love her husband
through thick and thin. There is no ob-
jection to that. provided always the bus-
band is tbe kind of man a wife can love.
Some husbands are not. It is not this
requirement. however, that stirs our
gall. It is another that these gentlemen
also mention with almost unfailing
unanimity, It is that the all important
function of a good wife is to be a good
cock. She must see to it that the table is
ever spread with the dainties that she
knows are dear to her husband's appe-
tite.
Now. in the name of masculinity, we
protect against this Do men live only
to out? Do husbands and bachelors care
for nothing else than to gormandine
and guzzlu? The letters from men on
the requirements of a good wife unmis-
takably convey this impression. That
is why we protest. What will the girls
think? For the good name of the Illilli'll-
line sex we demand that the woman's
page in question he closed to the pens
, of these men who reveal too much. If
eating is all men care for, then let them
keep still and not tell it.
Just how great a navy may be piled
up without its going to pieces byits
own weight will probably be ascertain-
ed when the additional ships called for
by Great Britain are built. England will-
shortly have a navy larger than that
of any two nations on the globe and
many times larger than that of the
United States. She is preparing to
spend at once over18100,000.000 in in-
creasing it. Mr. George Goshen’s rs-
timatc of the immediateincrease needed
includes 5 battleships, 13 cruisers and
28 torpedo boat destroyers. She has add-
ed in the last seven years 105 battle-
ships und cruisers. England's navy in-
creases like a snowball rolling down
hill. Where will she get recruits to man
all these ships? That is a question ev-

New York Journal correspondent. who
was on the scene at the time of the late
demonstration of Britain's flying squad-
ron, says it was a terrible strain to get
together man enough tomalte a show on
the ships.
In judging of affairs in Cuba the
American citizen needs steadily to bear
in mind that Spaniards lie when they
charge that the revolution is merely the
insurrection of a lot of ignorant negrcos
and mulattoes. ‘I It would perhaps be
Imore polite to say they falsify facts.
