As the House refused to be bossed by it, the Trust however, an opportunity and the hope be improved. be resp turned to the Senate, and there it has achieved a temporary triumph. If that triumph is permitted to become permanent, however—if the Trust ule is retained in the tariff bill—the whole measure will be tainted by it, and the republican party be placed at the greatest disadvantage Who would benefit?

This has been a season of ridiculous rumors 5 ding the foreign aifairs of tne United States, but among all the silly stories put forth none has appreached for absurdity the statement that Spain and Japan have formed a secret alliance to harrass the United States. The sole excuse for the birth of this remarkable child of the imagination is that Spain is none too friendly with this country because of the interest which the American people take in the Cuban insurgents, and the tendency of Congress to seek reparation frem Spain for ain outrages committed on American eitizens in that island. At the same time Japan has protested against the annexa- tion of Hawaii to the United States, and si of her ili-advised representatives have let out a few belligerent words smacking | of the new Asiatic jingoism that fears no antagcnist, however great. To that extent and sympathy. to no other Japan and Spain are in They have each a fancied griev- ance against this country. But there is at of contention between them of far greater proportions. In popular phrase they have “troubles of their own.” Philippine Islands are now in a state of rebellion against the Spanish authority. Spain suspects Japan of coveting these ands and of secretly aiding and comforting there and there is a serious the bend that binds these two tions together. Compared with the dif- ferences between Spain and the United States and Japan and the United Staies that now existing between Japan and Spain is formidable. The rumor mongers have shown seme degree of ingenuity of late in devising international difficulties and plan- ning campaigns, but they failed wretchedly when they sought to build up an offensive alliance between these two nations on the slight grounds for trouble that now exist. —EEe North Carolina is meeting with syccess in the experiment of improving the roads by convict labor. The argument that the employment of prisoners on this kind of work prevents honest men from being paid for it is a short-sighted one. Good roads mean easter transportation to the markets, sibility to the outside world and a general stimulus to production and traffic. Criminals ought to be compelled to give some return to the tax-payers for the expease which they cause to the com- munity. present @ be tee The leading man who had half his mus- tache pulled out by an irate fellow-member of the th rical profession might try to secure redress by means of a damage suit. ‘There 1s no doubt that a leading man with one-hi if a mustache is 1 in his earning capacity. y seriously han- dicapy soe Mr. Sherman's Letter. The English newspapers are not clear- headed at this time. It is probably too socn after the jubilee to expect them to be. A protracted frolic is calculated to leave the faculties a little jaded and drawn and confused. It may not be altogether fair, therefore, to accept what the London press is now saying about Mr. Sherman's letter to Ambassador Hay on the subject of the seals loo seriously. The tone will probably change with the return of normal intel- lectual conditicns. It ts noteworthy that there is no attempt to refute the charges which Mr. Sherman makes. He states (1) that the seals ai disappearing, (2) that the English autho ties treated a scientific document bearing Upon and confirming tnis point without re- spect Ms proper value, and (3) that Great tain has not properly assisted, @3 she was under obligations to do, in pro- tecting the seal hecds in Behring Sea. If Mr. Shermar carnot maintain those propo- siticns his letter is unfortunate; otherwise, it is an able state paper of which he may be proud. Erglish criticism 1s directed at the style of the staterent. There are various cen- scrious characterizations of it, and one Jet rnal prenownces tt “insolent.” But tt is pot insolent. It is cnly direct. It is strictly in acccrd with the American style, as formed by the fathers. Mr. Sherman having a case to state, stated it very frankly. That was Mr. Clay's way, and Mr. Webster's way, and Mr. Blaine’s way. ‘Those three men served the country in the State Department with great success, and without employing any of the indirection or neatly phrased palaver associated with diplomatic correspondence in older coun- tries. Mr. Sherman could not have done better than by following, as he has done, in the footsteps of such illustrious prede- cessors. His letter rings true, and the American people indorse it, facts, style and all. ‘The London editors must give it a second reading later on. The trouble is not with the letter, but with themselves. They have been gazing too rapturously at those marching columns in their town, and at that unapproachable naval display at Spit- head. They are unable to understand the audacity of a country which thus presumes in plain language to lay a grievance it a country capable of setting such juadrons in the fleld and of manning ge a number of battle ships. When the jubilee effects wear off they'll be wiser. Meanwhile, it is to be observed that Mr. Sherman h carried his point. A confer- ence on the subject of preserving seal life and Great Britain 80 has been agreed upon, will attend. ——__ + «+ ___ An English View of Annexation. Mr. Henry Norman, whose acquaintance with America and Americans should suffice to save him from such an egregious error, makes a remarkably absurd statement in the latest issue of Cosmopolis, the London quarterly in which he conducts an inter- esting department of international gossip under the title ‘The Globe and the Island.” He is discussing the news of the Hawaiian annexation treaty, and say The most unpleasant aspect of this very sudden and unexpected annexation— n Mr. Sherman, who signs the treaty, to annexation a short tim: a that the reasons for it are believed by a large section of the American people to be connected with the everlasting and incomprehensible sugar question in the coming tariff. Mr. Norman's misstatement of the case is rather inferential than direct. He ought to know that the chief apprehension of the American people is that this “everlasting and incomprehensible sugar question” will operate to deter if not to defeat the project of Hawaiian annexation. That is all there is im the way of connection between the two, and it is unfortunate that this writer uld have gone so far wrong as in an- other part of his article to quote a New York evening paper as inquirmg what and whose job the annexation treaty repre- lt may be popular in England to de- pict American politics and American poii- cles as corrupt and actuated by seuis. vicious, the most selfish of personal motiy but it is not in keeping with Mr. Norman’s pre- vious performances in dealing with inter- national questions affectng this country. In this paper he takes the ground that the annexation ot Hawaii is a step that nec sarily involves the United States in a coionial policy, despite the 4 inten- uons of her sta’ en to hold aloof from such @ course. He expresses grave f for this country in such a role, but, in conclusion, pays the nation the compliment of saying that enough Ameri doubtle: trong whether iS Wise tu invite them is another mat- to solve t © problem It seems difficult for Eng hmen to take seriously the American position with re- wari to self-defense.

Mr. Jones of Nevada fs stifi-necked for the Senate's sugar schedule. Why? Whom dees he represent in the prem Cer- twinly not the people of Nevada. They are not interested in the sugar industry. Neither beet sugar nor cane sugar is grewn in the state, nor is its production possible in the Nevada contains a few mines, and an arena tor prize tighting at Carson City, but that is about all. Yet this Senator, representing in part a stv of waste places, and with a population, all told, Jess than that of a single con- gressional district in other sections of the cevntry, is cutting a leading tigure in ho ing up a tariff bill designed for the ben of seventy millions of people! Does the tact that he represents but a handful of people and is responsible prac- ses? state. a t tic Jones to outside activity . Mr. Stewart, publicly ed off from meddli the affairs of California in the Senate yes- Mr. White of that state informed terday. Mr. Stewart that he, Mr. White, and his colleague could atiend to the affairs of California—in fact, that they had been sent here to do that very thing. Would it not be well for Mr. Jones to take instrac- tion from that episode, and make him- self less colossal and officious in this sugar business? The country really does not expect Mr. Jones to settle the controversy— resents, indeed, his assumption to do so. oe President McKinley is ng with the penalty which attends prominence. He cannot € ‘ompany at the White House wi ing the gossips. soe With Mr. Qvay coming forth as a grax candidate and Jerry Simpson wearing golf stockings there seems to be no dependence to be placed in anybody. = #%z the Blame on Rhodes. Cecil Rhodes’ conviction by a pariiamen- tary committee of undue complicity in the recent uprising of the “Witlanders” in the Transvaal marks a notable event in En- glish history. It merely confirms the uni- versal opinion, freely expressed at the time of the disturbances, that Rhodes was the chief factor in the affair, that the Jameson raid was the logical outcome of the machi- nations of the former premier of Cape Colony even {f the latter did not actually dispatch the invaders, and that there was more or less understanding between Cape Colony and London tn the matter. Rhodes is notorious as an aggressive politician and colonizer. He has carried the British flag triumphantly over a large part of South Africa and is entitled to the’ credit of a majority of the late English achievements there. He drew to the Cape many of the men whose present residence in the Trans- vaal is the source of friction between President Kruger and his countrymen. His influence was at one time paramount in that entire region, and to him the foreign office at London looked with a high degree of confidence for the furthering of the va- rious schemes of empire that are constantly being insinuated into the British policy. appears on the face of the case thai Rhodes reckoned without his host and went further than London desired, but there is just a suggestion that had he been somewhat more diplomatic in his preliminary man- euver or more successful in his results the Transvaal raid would have had a far dif- ferent outcome. During the investigation an effort was made to attach a degree of responsibility to Mr. Chamberlain, but as far as the evidence submitted and public serves to show there was no d official connection between him and Rhodes or Jameson. Certain telegrams were sup- Pressed for a time and their final publica- tion indicated that there was an under- standing between Cape Town ard Downing street. The truth probably is that Mr. Chamberlain—and nobody knows who else higher in authority—were kept just familiar enough with the plans of the Rhodes party to know that there was to be a disturbance It} THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1897-12 PAGES. in the Transvaal of some sort, but not suffi- ciently familar to enable the charge ever afterwards to stick that he connived at or advised the insurrection and the raid. Yet there seems to have been a pretty definite beltef in Cape Colony that the plans there were approved in London and that the ex- pedition if successful, would be hailed as a feat of which England would be proud, and the fruits of which England would harvest. In other words, Mr. Chamberlain and his asscelates appear to have been playing with the Uitlanders, Rhodes, Jameson and their men the very interesting game of “heads I win, tails you lose.” —__ +e —__ A Spanish-Japanese alliance might be a very comfortable arrangement for Spain, but it is difficult to perceive what reliable advantage the other country would derive from the partrership. —— The mining difficulties give Senator Han- na something that many politicians would envy in the way of an opportunity to strike un attitude as the friend of the la- boring man. ——_- + ee —___.
