The republican Senators In caucus to- night will consider, with other things, the question of reciprocity. It is a most im- portant question, and well worthy of their best deliberations. Reciprocity, indeed, wisely employed, is the complement of pro- tection, and enables that policy to be ap- piled with increased benefit to the country. It has commarded, and now commands, the support of the ablest of the republican leaders, and in the preparation of the Mc- Kinley bill there was something of a con- test for the credit of grafting the reciproc- ity provision on that measure. It was med for President Harrison, for Mr. for Mr. Aldrich and for several but at last the main point came to be that every man of note in the party approved cordially of the provision, and I definite party sanction. - trader who has the courage of tions is opposed to reciprocity - regards it as merely a qualified protection.

There may have been local conditions attendant to permit yesterday's unpanallelled feat, and {nasmuch as the crews rowed with the tide the new record may be accepted with some degree of reserve by suspicious tor- etgners. Yet it is a fact that all races rowed on tide-waters are so timed as to give the crews the advantage of the cur- rents and the records should stand as they Gre written. The freshman race Illustrates the force of the belief that weight counts heavily in The crews finished in the order of these weights. It is significant that Yale's *var- sity crew that will enter tomorrow's race is also heavier than those of Harvard and Correll. Yet weight dces not always tell with certainty, and in this case there are many new elements, notably the fact that Harvard has been relying much upon the work of coach Lehmann, the English train- er, whose methods gave been watched with great interest. It was hoped that the re- sult cf the frestman race would throw light upon the relative merits of the Eng- fish and American training, but it now ap- pears that Lehmenn neglected the Harvard freshmen and has devoted himself exctu- sively to the. ‘varsity crew, so It 1s difficult to form 1 comparison between his work and that of “Bob" Cook, Yale's trainer, until after tomorrow's event. But even Cook has come to be less strictly American in his methods of late than formerly, and it is known that he has adopted many Eng- lish ideas as to the preltminary handling of men. Courtney alone ef the trio of train- ers adheres faithfully to the American doc- trines, and previous races, notably that of jast year, showed that Corneil has not sut- fered in censequence. +42 _____ Pessimists, Learned and Unlearned. One can allow for the fulminations of tren of the Debs stamp. Such men are noisy by nature. They are fitly character- ized in the phrase of the street, as “born kickers." They are prone to experiments and prone to failure, and when the failure comes then follows a period of despair. They are very certain that the fault of it all lies not in themselyes, but must inhere in surrounding cenditions. So they con- demn those conditions, and demand a change which shall make everything right after their own rosy, reck shallow calculations. But one is at a loss to understand how men of reading and reflection can talk in the Debs strain, as here and there one such found doing. How does such a man apply history? How far back has he traced, and how carefully has he followed, the efforts to athieve good government meng men?

New Une discovery by the officials at the Sta nt that Japan's protest against wiian annexation treaty contains ut is not likely to shake the admin- istration circles very deeply or to imperii the rai tion of the treaty by the Senate. Japan's threats are of small consequence especially when she has so Mttle ground on which to stand as in this diplomatic ccrtroversy. The fact is Japan Is set- ting up a principle of international law that is utterly untenable and could not be maintained even by the most powerful of ations save by mere brute force. It is in effect that a nation may, by making a treaty with a second nation, utterly pre- vent the territorial expansion of a third nation through the absorption of the sec- ond. Thus, if Japan's practical position were valid, it lies in the power of any country, however weak and insignificant in the family of nations, to put an end to all consolidations between pow all ex- pansion, all territorial acquirements, by merely exercising the treaty-making powe on any subject, however trivial. This principle is startling in its brazen indif- ference to history. The treaty is merely an agreement between nations to conform to certain customs as long as each party remains {n the condition that surrounded it when the Instrument was drawn. The negotiation of that agreement cannot take from one of the parties the right to enter into new relattons with a third party. Otherwise the treaty could be used as a most potent factor in the preservation cf geographical lines, even when the world’s progress demands a change.
