The business is compli- cated, but the case of the United States is im safe and competent hands. Both parties are better informed today ever before about the matters which them. Not only a friendly but a ttlement is sought. The Canadian visitors have returned home with full knowledge of what is expected of their government in the premises, and at an carly day, it is understood, will make reply. Until then it will be well to discount what- ever of a distorted or bellicose nature may be put out either by the opponents of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in Canada, or by the op- ponents of the McKinley administration in the United States. A subject brought prominently to the front by these negotiations is that of com- mercial reciprocity between Canada and the United States. Both countries are in- terested in it, and Canada particularly so. The markets of the United States are in every way tempting to her—are, in fact, necessary to her full development and pres- perity. Of course, she cannot expect, and need not try, to enter our markets to the prejudice of our own people. In our eco- nomic policy protection comes first, and then reciprocity. But wherever reciprocity can be made to supplement protection for the advancement of the interests of the United States it is the policy of the party now in power to apply it. Canada, there- fcre. being our next-door neighbor on the rerth, is justified in asking consideration of her desire for a closer commercial broth- erhood with us. Consideration of such negotiations need mot be affected by the fact that Canada is @ province of Great Britain. She is loyal to the mother country, but not a slave, as Cuba has been held by Spain. It is a ques- tion, indeed, whether the development of Canada éoes not portend independence and a republican form of government for that country. Annexation to the United States is even suggested as something probable in connection with Canada’s growth. But whether as British province, or as probable independent government, or as a possible Part of the United States, Canada com- mands our interest and attention; and if in any negotiations she gets the better of us it will be our own fault. But the probabilities all are that we shall prove equal to the task of taking care of ourselves. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his vis- iting colleagues have been met in a frank and friendly spirit, but no part of the case ef the United States in any of its features, whether with respect to the seals or what not, has either been compromised or weak- ened. ————_++-____ Bishop Doane's Criticism. Biskep Doane of Albany took occasion the cther day to lecture the American people for what he terms their intolerant hatred of England and Englishmen. He was at the time talking to his diocese, but his re- marks had a national application, and he lashed his countrymen most severely. He auenounced taeir “jingoism™ and painted the English people as being shocked and amazed at the bitterness of American dis- luke for them. With all the Tespect due to a clergyman and a bishop, it 1s neverthe- less in order to suggest that Bishop Doane has not been recently reading the English newspapers, and that he has not kept in full touch with the American and British temperaments, especially in relation to each other. Casual observers have been led to the opinton of late that the balance of bad feeling between the two nations lies with England. Certainly during the past two years there has been a steady flow of British press that has exceeded anything that has ever emanated from American public sources in times of peace. The Lon- don comments on the Venezuelan affair, on the arbitrary treaty, on the sealing con- treversy and the Canadian rec!procity propositions have been only too evidently inspired by a feeling of thorough dislike for everything American. The comments on our institutions have been based upon gross ignorance of the subjects, and have expressed every shade of ill-feeling, from scorn to vindictive hatred. Nor has this feeling been confined to the last few years, but has continued practically since the loss of the cclonies by England. It was height- ened by the sentiments entertained by that country for the south in the sixties. Who- ever may be to blame for the initiative in this unfortunate sp'rit of international di like—se far as it may exist today—no crit can successful charge the Americans with carrying their animosities toward tie en- sh nation into their individual re- . Distinguished Britons have r been rece here with every In some cases said of Amtricans England. Bishop Doane is probably s vere in his expressions of grief over the a Uitude of his countrymen that ne has con- jured up in his mind, but he gives evidence of lacking a full acquaintance with all the circumstances and with some of the most marked traits of the British character. Such outoursts as his will not tend to close the breach that he imagines to exist between the two peoples. ——— In addition to its humiliation at the hands of Austria, Turkey will be obliged to under go the usual indignities in connection with the Thaaksgiving joke. ——__ see Mr. Huntington's desire to get the Pacific railways out of debt would be praiseworthy if it were accompanied by an ambition to pay what they owe. ———_~es—____ Some Machires, and the Fu e eve expression as much cannot be ive of hospitality. re. Upon the whole, this has not been a good year in politics for machine men. Severai of the most eminent of them aave received severe trouncings, while others have been served with fair warning to mend their ways. It is a fact to be acknowledged and remembered, however. that these men still retain a certain power which will enable them to make themselves felt in the maneuverings of the immediate future; and that, with this power, they will be heard from, is beyond question. In Massachusetts George Fred Williams made h's campaign with no hope or pro- spect of success for the office he sought, but only for the purpose of strengthening his bold on the local party machinery. Mir. Williams now has this machinery in his hands securely. He and his supporters are the regulars, and they will control the dele- Gation from the state to the next demo- cratic national convention. Mr. Williams is for Mr. Bryan, and e azpires to be- come the running mate of the Nebraska leader on the next national ticket. Mr. Platt got a hard lick in New York, state and city, but he still controls the re- publican machine. He and his followers claim to be the regulars, and it is an easy ee ene eg a nce ears A AC TC LCR Re tween now and 1900 toward securing a solid delegation of Platt men to the next republican national convention. John R. McLean, though defeated in his desire to succeed Mr. Hanna in thé Senate, remains master of the machine power of his party in Ohio. His friends are in ab- solute control. Mr. McLean figured promi- nently in last year’s democratic. national convention, and most likely will figure as prominently im the next. His name has been suggested for second place on a ticket with Mr. Bryan. Controlling, as he will, his own state delegation, his voice in the convention proceedings in 1900 may show consderable carrying power. The Gorman-Rasin rule in Maryland has for the third time been condemned. Mr. Rasin is qut of office, and Mr. Gorman in less than two years will follow him. But the democratic machine is theirs, and it will be manipulated by them im the future as in the past. They have no idea of re- tiring from business. Neither could con- tent himself for very long out of politics. Mr. Gorman, indeed, is already being com- forted in his defeat hy little suggestions thrown out in southern newspapers that he must keep himself in readiness for a “‘cail”” even to higher things; that the party can- not spare him, but has him on its eligible list for future honors. This of course will result in the play for a Gorman delegation from Maryland to the next democratic na- tional convention, with Mr. Gorman him- self as its leader and spokesman. And with the machinery of the party all ir his hands, and Mr. Rasin still acting as his Heutenant, what ‘s to prevent him from securing such a delegation, ready io receive and obey his orders? The fight against machines when thor- oughly successful, is not for a day or for a year, but for all the time necessary for their eradication. Once men of the ma- chine habit and capacity establish them- selves, they are not easily dislodged. Driven from one place, they take refuge in another, holding on as long as possible to every semblance of power and authority, and essaying the role of the martyr when that of the hero is no longer open to them. —\\*_~or+o—____. Jnpan Files Her Claim. There is no particular significance in the Statement that Japan has filed with Ha- waii a claim for indemnity in the sum of $200,000, on the basis of Hawaii's refusal to permit certain immigrants to land at Hon- otulu. This is the case that has caused the dispute between fhe two nations for some months past. It has just lately been greed between the parties that the issues in the affair snall be submitted to the ar- titration of an impartial tribenal and, in order apparently to perfect the case so that the referees can act upon it intelli- gently, Japan has stated the amount that represents the extent to which she feels herself ta have been injured by Hawaii's acticn. On the basis of this sum as the amount of damages claimed the arbitra- tion or trial will proceed. If the arbi- trators should decide that Japan has been injured by Hawaii and that Hawaii's ac- tion was not justified in law and equity the damages awarded will be on the basis of $200,000 as a maximum. Hawaii hopes ard expects that the arbitrators will decide that she acted wholly within her own rights and that Japan is entitled to nothing in damages, either as a nation or as rep- resenting the individuals who were not allowed to land. Thus this latest phase of the case seems to be in exact accord- ance with all the previous moves and tends only to put the affair on a definite bases suitable for final cetermination. ————»+ee—___ A Sudden Drop. It is fortunate that the sudden drop in temperature of Tuesday night and Wed- nesday morning came at such a time that little harm was done by the remarkable change. The mercury Tuesday was high; se high, indeed, that there was an imme- diate revival of talk about “Indian sum- mer,” that elusive, movable period of late autumn, when sudden bursts of warmth bring spring-like languor. Tuesday night, however, a chilling blast came sweeping over the country from the westward, and in a few hours the temperature had fallen to within five degrees of freezing. In fifteen hours the records show a drop of 40 degrees, from 77 at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon to 37 at 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. This change has doubtless en- dangered the health of many persons who are not accustomed in this climate to such very sudden changes and do not dress with the precaution that this fickle sea- son demands. Many colds have been “caught” by imprudent ones who did not give full credence to the warning given by the weather bureau Tuesday that it would be “decidedly colder” Wednesday morning. This warning was amply justified, and its success should encourage some skeptics to place more faith in the forecasts of this branch of the government service, which works under so many handicaps and with such elusive element: That Leaky Roof. Ht is somewhat reassuring to learn from the new supervising architect of the treas- ury that the occupation of the “new city Post office’ will not be long delayed by the leaky condition of the skylight over the central court. His program im the emer- gency is eminently satisfactory to the citi- zens of the capital, who were deeply ag- grieved when they contemplated the pros- pect of a long wait while the roof was re- placed. The supervising architect outlines a plan of treatment of this roof that indi- cates how far he kas faith in the solidity of the construction. “We will keep it in repair,” he says, “just as any man does his home.” The principal concern of the people of Washington ts the duration of the period that must now elapse before the building is ready for use as a post office, and then o} the period during which it will remain 11 use such, ——~2+2s____ After the insinuations that have passed unnoted between the lawyers in the Nack- Thorn case, it is difficult to understand why people in Europe should lose their terhpers and fight duels. ‘Mr. Croker does not expect to interfere much in Brooklyn politics.

A death occurred Tuesday evening in Phil- adeiphia in such awkward proximity to an eiectric current that the theory of “natural causes” that has done service so often and so strenuouffly is put to a. most severe test. A citizen who had hoisted his um- brella to protect himself from the rain stepped before a show window to look at the displayed goods, when the tip of his metal umbrell touched the wires of an electric light hanging immediately in front of the window, six feet and a half above the sidewalk. In less than two minutes the man was dead. No statement has thus far been offered by the company operating the electric light circuit, no suggestion of low voltage has been advanced, and no intimation has been put forth that the vic- tim of this accident was a suf- ferer from a complication of deadly dis- esxcs. Perhaps such insinuations will be made in time and meanwhile Philadelphia guess that they will bend their energies be- | will contimue to struggle along with its gridiron of overhead trolleys, its multi- tude of other aerial currents, its tangle of metal in the-air in every. direction, and perhaps she will be patient with the mis-- chief that has already been wrought and pray for better times. Washington has succeeded in excluding the worst of the nuisances, the trolley wires, and is striving diligently to bury all other forms of elec- trical conductors. It hopes in a few months to rid the air of every form of wire for telegraph, telephone, lighting and power Purposes, and until then it will fear the com- ing of every storm that may tear loose the metals and crossing them, may girdle the city with deadly currents. Tuesday night’s accident in Philadelphia was not of course due directly to overhead wires, and might have occurred had the current been sent to the lamp by means of a conduit. But it bears instructively on the force of that current and indicates that the claims of the electric producers as to the harmless- ness of these agencies are nonsens.cal. The tragedy teaches that it is dangerous to harg electric lamps so low that they may be reached in this way. It seems that a few months ago a lady who completed the circuit with her umbrella with an over- hanging electric lamp was seriously shock- ed. This also happened in Philadelphia. One such case should have been sufficient to suggest a remedy for the danger that so palpably exists, —>+e—___ There are fears of a scant food supply in Germany.

The Boston Fruit Company has con- tracted with the Cramp Shipbuilding Com- peny for the construction of four steel- screw steamers of a capacity of 2,500 to 2,700 tons to be used in the West India trade. They will replace foreign-built steamers and will be fitted to carry both passengers and freight. Doubtless if the Boston Fruit Company could have made more money by con- tinuing to do business with vessels szil- ing under a foreign flag, or if it could Fave had vessels built cheaper in foreign shipyards than im our own, it would not have made this-contract with the Cramps. All the material necessary for the build- ing of a steel steamship is now made in the United States as cheaply as elsewh The greaier efliciency of our labor and’ ma- chinery makes the work of construction as cheap here as elsewhere. Why should we n& bulld our own vessels? Why should we not reach out for the control of our own ocean-carrying trade and the recov- ery of our place among the first maritime uations by virtue of our indisputab!e ad- vantages? A Dismal Predietion. From the Seattle Times. The attempt on the part of the United States government to rescue whaling ships caught in Bering sea by means of revenue cutters will prove to be a failure. The very conditions which prevent these ves- sels from escaping will prevent a revenue cutter from being of any service. Capt. Tuttle of the revenue cutter Bear clearly points out the futility of such an effort as indeed he does its absurdity. Capt. Tuttle shows that there are ample provisions at Point Barrow and Refuge Station, as well as at Hersche!ll Island, to supply all de- mands during the coming winter. ——_—+r+eo. Wants an Even Trade. From the Scranton Tribune. A reciprocity, arrangement with Canada, to be acceptable to Americans, must pro- vide for a fair exchange of concessions. The markets of Canada, with only 3,000,000 buyers, are not worth to American business men one-half s0 much as the markets of the United States, with their 70,000,000 buy- ers, would be worth to the Aree inter- ests of Canada.
