A United Press.
star venerable contemporary. the BOS-
‘t: *1 Post, “the representativeDemocra-
t}; paper of New England,” unfurls the
i ag of our Union at the head of its edi-
torial page, defines its position in sev-
en words, “Peace with honor or war
with victory,” and follows this admira-
ble beginning with a plea for “a united
press,” so timely, patriotic, and sensi-
ble that we produce it in full, as fol-
lows, says the WashingtOn Post:
“In the impending crisis we have a
united Congress and a united public
sentiment sustaining the President.
Now let us hope that we have one more
element of unity—a united press.
“The American press has not brought
on this trouble. It did not start the
Cuban war or blow up the battle-ship
Maine. It is the hard facts that have
produced the present conditions, not
the setting forth of the facts by the
press. . And in the situation which
these facts have produced the press
should be found closely united in sup-
port of the government.
“Let us have no doughfaces among
the press Of the United States, and let
us have no papers which place com-
mercialism above patriotism.
“The President, elected by (the peo-
ple of the country, stands for the coun-
try in this crisis. . Let us be slow to
disparage him. Let us be quick to en-
courage and sustain him in those ef-
forts which" in his best judgment he
puts forth to uphold the dignity, the
'honor, and the interests ofthe country.
If we are to drift into war, or be forced
into war, there should be behind the
President, not only a united Congress
and a united people. but a loyal and
united press."
None of the three foreign wars in
which this country has engaged has
feimd the people of New England—or
for that matter, of any sectiOn of the
Suited States in support of the govern-
ment. If we are to have war with Spain,
that old condition will be reversed.
Congress has set the most splendidly
impressive example in our history by
the solid unity of its action in the fifty- '
million appropriation. There are no in-
tensor partisans, no men more ready or
more glad to contend for party at any
fitting time, no men who believe more
firmly that they are right and their op-
ponentswrong. than a large part of the |
membership of Congress. The simple
fact that this body, acting for the peo-
ple and the States, put all party is-
sues out Of sight, and made haste to as-
sure the President of the support of all
parties and factions united as American
patriots, is a lesson of incalculable
sales. It proves, as scarcely anything
else could have done, ' the inherent
strength of our government. If any-
thing could make for peace, that lesson
will. And, if “peace with honor” can-
not'be brought out of the troubled con-
ditions, that lesson points to the earli-
est possible victory in the conflict upon
which duty will compel the Nation to
enter. -
Why may not the press, like the peo-
ple and their Congress, be united in
theimpending crisis ? It requires no
sacrifice of principle, no surrender of
belief or conviction, for the newspapers
of in parties and the non-partisan pa-
per: to get together and hold together
till the end of this chapter in our his.
My. Here is an issue that may well
lbs permitted to dominate all others un-
til it is settled. In the campaign of
race we had a political issue which sent
a million or . more of anti-protection
W's into the host that voted for the
author of the McKinley tariff, and
annealed an army of protectionists to

motion on the “peace appropriation” of
55,000,000, to be used in strengthening
m defenses, has‘shown that, in the

Im~l.-‘
[presence of a greater and more press-
ing issue, the line of party demarkation
disappears. Why may not the press
follow that example ? Why may not
those few newspapers which are trying
to mix the silver issue with this emer-
gency, and those few which, while pro-
fessing to support the President, miss
no chance of stabbing him in the back,
get a new inspiration from the example
of Congress ?
The Post hopes for peace in spite of
all the indications Of a rupture. It
hopes that Spain will not compel the
United States to make choice between
war and dishonor—for in that event
the instantaneous answer will be war.
But, whatever may be the outcome of
existing conditions, the occasion is one
that calls for unity of purpose and ac-
tion among all the agencies that are in-
fiuential in molding public opinion.
Our Boston contemporary shows a just
appreciation of patriotic duty in its plea
for a united press.

AN ALL-SEEING ELECTRIC EYE.
Or the \Vork that the Fluormeter Will'do
lor the Body.
If you can imagine an improved X-
ray machine which not only discovers
to the operator the inner bones of the
anatomy, but also shows the texture of
the subcuticle, or under skin, and the
blood as it flows through the veins and
reveals the tiny pulses that beat time
to the dancing of the heart; if you can
conceive of such an apparatus, then
you will understand what the fluor-
ineier is and the work it is intended
to do in a surgical and medical way.
With this wonderful machine a pa-
tient is laid upon the operating table,
without removing a. particle of cloth—
ing, the new X-ray is turned on the
parts to be examined and the rest is
easy. A foreign substance in the
blood, no matter how minute, can be

The Robber Made a Good Official.
President Diaz several years ago in-
terviewed a famous bandit who was
in prison. The robber informed the
President that his lawless life was the
result of having no work to do. The
President liberated him, made him
chief of! police of his native district,
which was one of the worst in the
country, and informed him that he
would be held strictly accountable for
all robberies in his district.
