There was some expectation that the Iowa republican convention would definite- ly indicate the American line of policy at Paris. This was based on the fact that the name of Senator Allison had been men- ned in connection with the peace com- mission, and that the senater, when re- cently in Washington, tad conferred with the President about the general situation. ‘The proceedings at Dubuque yesterday dis- are mer’s | make. date, | s of the two governments. But for the rea- son that the situation in the Pacific is very different from that in the Atlantic, and calls for discussipn and Inquiry, a spe- cial arrangement ts necessary and has been rdered. This government, therefore, need not d will not commit itself as to detatls prematurely. The Berlin correspondent of the London Datly News, in a dispatch about the czar’s disarmament proposal, say: “Mr. Jackson, the secretary of the Amer- ican embassy, does not believe in the prac- ticability of the proposal. He assured me that, speaking for himself only, he felt sure that America would not permit the Philippine question to be submitted to such a conference.” Mr. Jackson's head is level, as should be that of every American at this time. Whether it be true, as has been suggested, ov not, that the czar’s action was in some measure influenced by the European con- struction put upon the easy success of the United States in the fleld of war, the fact remains that the Philippine question as presented to us bears no relation to the armed state of Europe. It is to be decided purely with regard to its bearing on Amer- ican, not European, interests. The United States is not responsible for the crushing burdens of militarism in Europe, and is urder no obligations to embarrass Itself by undertaking to help relieve them, Its desires and influences are for peace, but it would be the height of folly for it to take a hand in any doubtful European dicker with peace ostensibly as the aim and end. The Shame of France. The insinuation coming from Paris that the higher military authorities connived at the suicide of Lieutenant Colonel Henry, the confessed forger of one of the Dreyfus documents, finds ready believers, particu- larly in view of the known fact that Drey- fus himself was afforded a palpable oppor- tunity to take his own life. Indeed, the story goes, and it has hitherto stood unre- futed, that after the arrest of Dreyfus he was left alone in a room for a long time and that on the table was laid, doubtless with an appearance of accident, a loaded revolver. The prisoner disdained to accept the chance to kill himself, and thus strengthened the faith of his friends in his inrocence. Indeed, it is further known that Dreyfus was suggestively asked by a brother officer after his arrest if he pro- posed suicide, whereupon the disgraced man replied that he could not take his life, inasmuch as self-destruction would stand as confession, whereas he was innocent. There is reason to credit the higher mili- tary authorities with a desire to close the Dreyfus episode by death, first the death of the Hebrew officer, and later that of the confessing forger whose disclosures have laid such a burden of responsibility upon the shoulders of the military oligar- chy constituting the real French govern- ment today. Henry's death has removed from further cross-examining one of the mest active participants in the Dreyfus prosecution. Closer inquiry might have brought from this wretch additional dis- showing the true agents of the Dreyfus machine. The suspicion that under orders, or at least by official irspiration, comes readily forward. There was apparently a total lack of motive for this single officer so to involve himself in crime, save to curry favor with his supe- riors or to carry out their command. In the interests of equity and in the hope that the French government may regain some portion of the world’s respect which it has forfeited by its actions in this scan- dalous perversion of justice, it is to be desired that the whole conspiracy to which Henry's confession and suicide so plainly point will be laid bare. If the French army is to emerge from the mire and stand once more on the high plane of prestige and in- fluence from which it has lately dictated the destinies of France, this affair must be probed even at the sacrifice of the men of highest rank and at the risk of top- pling ministries. The tests are now to be applied to the army, and as the army ts France the nation ts in the balance. +32 The English Mission. The greatly improved condition of our relations with England is shown in the tion about a successor to Colonel the court of St. James. It includes the names of a number of men who repre- ot only a high order of personal ac- complishments, but political influence and prospects of the first quality. This has not always been the ca: It was only a few years ago that the choice of a representative to England was one of the most difficult the President had to Great as the honor was, and as de- ble on certain scores, there were things about it which seemed to bar certain of our public men from a contest for it, and which thereby limited the President's choice. A rising, or even a well established, political leader who was looking forward to still greater honors at home felt that there was a risk about the place. There were to be considered the strong anti-English feeling in American circles, and the still stronger i-English feeling in Irish-American circles. If he made himself thoroughly S| ‘ssful as a diplomat by making him- self thoroughly acceptable in England, it might be at the loss of his prestige in poli- tics at home. in these circumstances the appointment of Mr. Lowell, who was a scholar without political ambition; that of Mr. Phelps, a distinguished lawyer without political am- bition, and that of Mr. Bayard, whose political career was known to be closed, were very much applauded. Each was fully fitted for the place, and could fill it to its utmost requirements without imperil- ing in the slightest any ambition in any other field he might be cherishing. This anti-English feeling has to a consid- erable extent disappeared, and with it, of course, those perils which once hedged about the English mission. The place has become inviting, not only to the scholar and the retired politician, but to the man who Is still an active and ambitious quan- tity in the field of political affairs. And, fortunately for the country and himself, the President would make no mistake in selecting any one of the half-dozen men whose names have been suggested in con- nection with the succession to Colonel Hay. ——_~ = ___ This country Is too liberal-minded to feel any regret if the czar succzeds in making the experience this country has gained in war of no practical value. a ‘The man who discovers a plagiarism al- ways has difficulty in pointing it out in such & way that the public can understand the importance of the find. ———__~ +2 _____ There is a strong possibility that before the Dreyfus scandal is ended Colonel Paty du Clam will find himself in the chowder. ——__ +e Aguinaldo’s performance now consists al- most entirely in whistling “down brakes.” —__—_ «= ___ A Hawaiian Queen for Kansas. Royalist hopes in Hawaii are by no means dead. There has been a boom in queens since the islands wére formally turned over to the United States.

The judgment of Paris was not so difficult by many degrees, for Paris had to choose one of only three while the former Kansan in Honolulu has from latest accounts to choose one from many hundreds of Kanaka girls, all eager for a free trip to the sunflower state and an opportunity to be a make-believe queen for a month. This episode furnishes one evidence of the closeness with which the newly annexed citizens are united to the mainland. Hawali is indeed a part of the Union when Kansas turns to her for the presiding beauty of a purely American form of entertainment. —____-+ e« —___ It is somewhat remarkable that the furores cr2ated at home by Furopean vaudeville performers and _litterateurs should always occur just before their Amer- ican tours instead of after. ——_+ + 2+___ A military camp benefits the n2ighbor- hood in which it is located in many pecu- niary ways.

SHOOTING STARS. Revised. “That was a good old motto,” said the statesman who was considering the Phikp- pine question; “Be sure you're right and then go ahead. “Yes,” replied the friend; guide for every occasion.” “I don’t agree with you there. There are circumstances where it must be revised to make it fit. When you find yourself in a position where you can’t be absolutely sure my motto is, ‘Be sure you'r? wrong be- fore you back out.’ “it's a safe Greatness, We'll have, to show the soldiers How we estimate their worth, The greatest time on record In the greatest land on earth.

You could have saved her.” Yes. But it would have taken the rest of my life to convince her that I didn’t do it merely to show off and humiliate her.” A Disappointment.

From the Boston Post. ‘The Treasury Department figures up the Geposits of our people in savings banks at an aggregate of nearly two Dillion della The exact figures are $1,939,376,035. This represents the savings of more than 5,000,- 000 people. It averages $372 for every de- positor. This is a remarkable skowing. It ts an astounding testimony to the comfort and economy of our people. One in every fit- teen of our population, counting infants and children, as well as men and women, have something of their earnings put by for a rainy day. This can be said of no other people on the face of the earth. Nor in those other countries in which the sav- irgs bank system is well established !s there anything like the large average of individual deposits. In France and in Prussia there are more depositors in savings banks than in the United States, but the aggregate amount thus deposited is less than one-third as great. In fact, the United States stands fairly at the head in this great test of pop- ular well being. Elphonzo; Youngs Co. A perfect preserving jar at last!
