Is th hi mihtrtti!) t rn rW
Kponniljl for the outbreak i
jingoism apninst, Gfrmanf,
just now figuriiig in fipmo of
the biir newspapers? T h a t
question has lieen asked very
frequently in Washington of
late, and not a .feff answers
have been in the n(firmative,
although what purpose of tlie
adtninistrution world be ser
ved by a war scare or an ac
tual war with Germany o r
any other nation, is not ap
parent, nnlesssitbp a scheme
to work up public opinion m
fjiror of Congressional legis
lation for an enormous in
crease in our navy, It is cer
thin, hi)wever.,thatmen very
dose to the administration,
are doing their b?st to in
crease the talk about. Germa
ny's intentiqn tograb one or
more ot the lit tie republics on
this continent, regardless of
the Minroe doctrine:' This i
playing with ayridmite. It is
hot probable that Germany
want da war with us, and it
is absolutely certain that We
don't want n war with Ger
many, but it is easily possi
ble for fool talk here and in
Germany to get the two peo
ples so wrought qp that some
little incident, which under
ordinriry; circumstances
would amount to nothing,
might oring on one of the
most costly wars ever fought.
Senator Mr'Laurin may con
tinue to call himself a demo
crat if it pleases him to do
so, but tlie fact thftt the dis
tribution of the.Federal pat
tonage of -South Carolina is
in his hands, shows what sort
oLa democrat rhe is. The
while republicans .of that
State, who have monopoliz
ed the.Federal offices for thir
t.Vtflrp years, except during
the two Cleveland terms, are
doing much growling, but
those.who after re-appointment,
are told when they
come to Washington, that it
is necessary for thni to have
Senator McLaurin's endorse,
mpnt before they can get it.
Not a little amusement was
caii8ed in Washington when
the news of Senator McLau
rin's attempt to get ex-Senator.
,.W,ade Hampton, to
throw his influence to the ad
ministration movement in ex
change for the post office at
Columbia. Gen. Hampton is
a poor man, and one of the
reasons therefor is that he
could never be bought. That
was well known in Washing
ton through Gen. Hampton's
long and distinguished servi
ces in the Senate, and as rail
road commissioner. T h i s
must have been well. known
to Senator McLaurin, hut,
having changed himself he
doubtless imagined that he
also changed. He was quick
ly undeceived. .
.The, radical position taken
by Representative Bahcock,
of Wisconsin, as to the nwd
si ty tor a revision of the Ding
Iy tariff, so as to put trust
controlled products on the

have been quietly keeping tap
on the talk about Mr. Bab
cock's proposed tariff reform
are decidedly pleased with
thei outlook. . They believe
that the question - will bting
about a war in the republi

which the old Stalwart and
anti Stalwart war will seem
child's play, and that the re
suit is hound to be beneficial
to the democratic party, not

. Another row is on over the
purchase of foreign-m a d e
arms by the War Depart
ment. The Department ordef
ed the purchase pt one , thou
sand German magazine pis
tols with the understanding
that if, after a practical tejt,
by the armjjhej proved sat
isfactory, twenty thousand
more would be bought. This
brought a vigorous protest
from a well-known American
fire arm company, which
claims to have a pistol of A
merican design and manufac
ture; in every way asgoodas
the German pistol ordered to
be purchased for the army,
and which t(ie board of ordi
nance nd fortifications which
recommended the .Germa.P
purchase, did not eveu test.
The protest will not prevent
the purchase of the one thou
sand German pistols, but it
is likely to put a spokein the
scheme to purchaseof twenty
thousand more of them. Ev
ery nan wishes out army to
have the best equipments to
be had. but no man with the
right sort of blood in him
believes that foreign equip
ments should be bought when
as good can be bad in t h is
country. This purchasing of
foreign-made arms has long
been a touchy subject with
the Ordinance bureau, and
one which it has been almost
impossible to secure official
information about. It may
be necessary for Congress to
don little investigating on
this subject.
