But the burning of buildings and ‘the wanton killing of un- offending men and the violent overturning of established government are in them- selves positive crimes which deserve only condemnation and punishment. The News and Courier evidently appreciates that where is a danger line beyond which the whites of the south rhust not go if they would preserve the respect of the country and maintain their own standards of civili- zation. Its condemnation of the rioting at Phoenix throws a new light on the case and ought to turn the thoughts of the peo- ple of the south into new and better chan- n ———_ + = —___ No Arbitration Needed. Spain's proposal to submit to arbitration the meaning of that ciause of the protocol which affects the disposition of the Philip- pines is of course untenabie. The only bitration possible under the circumstan is by a dictionary and an interpreter. The clause under which the Philippines are in- volved in the case reads thus, according to the text of the protocol oificially made public on the Sth of this month: “The United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila pend- ing the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall determine the control, disposi- tion and government of the Philippine Article five of the protocol provides for the treaty-making commi: on now sicn, as follow: “The United States and S IL each appoint not more than five commissioners to treat of peace, and the commissioners appointed shall meet at Paris not later in ses- are while the Spaniards are entirely atistied with themselves. of course, is balancing the question, for argument’s sake, in a purely material way. The American fiag at Manila stands for a great deal more than com- merce, and it will not be There is net power enough available in the world to “arbitrate” the stars and stripes down the staff at that point. —— A World Power. It is announced that the government at na has notified the United States of it: sire to ralse the diplomatic represent+- at Washington from the rank of a nister to that of an ambassador, thus placing Austro-Hungary on an equal foo:- ing at this capital with Great Britain, Ger- many. France and Russia. Correspond- ingly, if this step be taken, the United States will elevate the American minister at Vienna to the same rank, thus returning the compliment involved in the proposition a tion ™ from Vienna, and permitting ne ons between the countries to be conducted on equal basis. It is to be expected that United States will soon take steps to cure a similar exchange between it and rkey, bringing the total of the Amer ambassadorships to six. The condition antinople are such as to rencer this the porte. The powers all raised their diplomatic r esenta- at Constantinople to the amba-ssa- rank, and as the court is one of the most punctilious in Europe in the m: of form, it is difficult for a minister to the same degree of consideration tor as bestowed upon a foreigner of higher designation in th or : the United such con- Turkish affairs as thet of the aver- iropean government. But this gov- pnt has as strong a reason for recog- at Constantinople as England ‘y the safety and welfare of American resi- dents in Turkey and its possessions ure in- There is good to look for effort in this in the near Meanwhile, it is pleasant te note Austria has decided that it will be r for her to secure a standing her: of the powers in consonance with the »f the nation. This recognition by Austria of the need of an ambassador is a token of the realization of the true Amer- ture which has grown from th. en ved eason, directic as is now one of the a ing with the great national organiza- S which shape events far beyoni their boundaries. And Austria ts not slow to ap- prex the fact, even though her vision may at one time have been somewhat dimmed by her close relations with Spain A little family matter is not to be permit- tel to interfere with the practical intere: of the government at Vienna. —— 7 The democrats are blaming Richard Cré ker in New York and Col.

This _m. ampliment to the up-st:: see Riot and Revolution. Charleston (8. C.) News and Ccurier is issue of Saturday last takes so clear w of the race troubles in South and rth Carolina that its utterances re attention and study. With full ay preciation of the intensity of the local f¢ ing on this subject it is easy to understand the difficulty with which papers published in the south bring themselves to see th affairs in their true relations. And there- fore it is reassuring to find the News and Courier taking so broad a ground in its comments as the following extracts from {ts leading editorial of the date mentioned serve to indicate: Tt in N w In North Carolina there was some ex- cuse for a show of force—the excuse ef revolution against an intolerable condition of affairs in the administration of the gov- ernment of the people; in South Carolina there was absolutely no excuse for the la lessness and bloodshed of the last few d at Phoenix, which has brought sham nd disgrace upon the whole state and exposed the weakness and hollowness of our b t- ed civilization. We have waited for the facts before making any comment upon the situgtion, and the facts utterly con- demn us as a people. They show not only that we are poweriess to protect the weak and ignorant who are at our mercy, but that we cannot control our own evil’ ten- dencies. They show, moreover, that the lawfully constituted authorities of the state are indifferent or imbectie, or both, in the discharge of their duty, and that the spirit of the mob is stronger than the spirit of law and order and justice. “The conditions in the two Carolinas are entirely dissimilar—in North Carolina it tn October 1, 1898, and proceed to the jation and conclusion of a treaty of which treaty shall be subject to rat- m according to the respective con- stitutional forms of the two countries.” The case as thus defined by the funda- mental instrument under which Spain is now acting leaves no question as to the method to be employed in the determina- tion of the future of the Philippines. The collateral facts or alleged facts adduced by Spain now and heretofore to set up a con- tention that it was not her understanding that she should relegate to the commission the disposition of the group have nothing whatever to do with the affair. They are simply among the antecedent elements the resultant of which stands today in the form of the protocol. The reading of that cocument shows plainly that Spain's urg- ings through Ambassador Cambon were unavailing. His credentials to act in Spain’s behalf were sufficiently trustworthy and complete to entitle the United States to ac- cept as final and conclusive the agreement to which he gave his signature as Spain's proxy. The “disposition, control and government of the Philippi were specifically rele- gated to the p ® treaty, the making of which was as specifically entrusted to the commission now in session. If Spain can not understand the meaning of those words it is useless for her to seek light from a neutral arbitrator. The United States could not for a moment consider the possibility of permitting the protocol to be scrutinized for interpretation on such a palpable point by a third party. Such action would in ef- feet constitute an admission that Spain's suggested reading of the document is tena- ble, an admission which would be unjusti- fied by the facts, by international laws and customs and by the present stage of the conference. This piea is plainly meant to delay the case further. It is a quibble and it will not considered save probably for the return of an emphatic refusal. The pro- tocol requires no interpretation by an ar- bitrator. +02 be The rainmakers might revive faith in their inventions by selecting for their ex- periments dates when meteoric showers make the public anxious for an unobstrue ed view of the sky. ———_ — + e+ —____ that every idle to society. The pri: Luch2ai declared son is a menac shame of it is that we have proved only | Dreyfus as a victim of wrongdoing on the part of his military superiors, and that fact coupled with the home feeling in favor of the prisoner finally forced the hand of the ministry. It is a matter for regret, therefore, that in taking so meritorigus a step the government or the court of cas- sation did not provide for such a retrial as would fully meet outside sentiment as to its form also. One can see difficulties in the way of a public trial in France of a man around whose name crowds surge for and against with so much violence and menace to pub- lie order. Nevertheless those difficulties shouid be surmounted. Dreyfus should be brought back, and the pick of the bar of France should marage his case. He should be permitted to see, and his counsel to ex- amine, every particle of evidence upon which he was convicted. If he is a guilty an the case should be made clear to everybody. If he is innocent, the necessity is all the greater for open doors and a complete hearing. 3 France, for her own good, should get rid of this case as promptly as possible. But she can only hope to do that by disposing of it in a fair and open way. A continua- tion of the secrecy means a continuation of the doubt attaching to the case. thorities will see to it that he is not threat- ening hereafter through idleness. +o The meteoric shower may have been there, but, like many of the army scandals, it did not become visible to the naked eye. a Mr. Leventritt seems unable to convince Richard Croker that in spite of appear- ances it was a glorious victory. ———__ + «2 —__. The Latest Move as to Dreyf When it was first announced that the Dreyfus case would be reopened, the hope Was expressed that the second trial might be entirely free from those features of secrecy and unfairness which had so com- pletely discredited the first trial. The idea that presented itself was that the unfor- turate man would be brought back to ind that the whole charge against him suld be explained to him. This seemed to the only proper way of proceeding. It not the way, however, that has been adopted. According to a Paris dispateh “the court of cassation has decided to send a commission to Cayenne to take the state- ment of ex-Captain Dreyfus and has also asked the government to telegraph to Drey- fus the progress made from time to time in the revision of his trial.” Let us imagine this man in his prison, where for four years he has been without news of the outside world except such as expurgated letters to him might contain, and without companionship. Suddenly he is advised that bis sentence is to be re- Viewed, and then this commission from the court of cassation presents itself. He does not Know its members. He has been con- victed in circumstances sufficient to make him distrustful of everybody. Prepared questions are propounded to him. He may or he may not see their drift. He knows his own case, but he does not know the case which was made up against him and under which he stands condemned. How may he be expected, therefore, to acquit himself with entire justice to himself under such an examination? What if, forsaken and flurried thus, he should fail to im- prove his opportunity, and what might eusily be brought to light in other circum- stances remains undisclosed in the circum- stances that exist? This second trial was ordered partly in deference to sentiment outside of France. The French government had become con- venced that its friends abroad regarded | France, that counsel would be assigned him, i i The United States cannot have the sligh| est objection to the kaiser's visit to Spain. The pageant he is presenting is certainly more moral and elevating than a bull fight. —_——___ ++. —__ Colonel Roosevelt admits his obligations in connection with his election, and de- clines to encourage any effort to establish a monopoly of them. a A general alliance which included Ger- many and the United States would be a great disappointment to Admiral von Diede- richs. —___ +e -——__ There is in Cuba some suspicion that the fate of a general-out-of-a-job is regarded with peculiar aversion. rs Senator Teller declines to believe the re- ports that free silver did not get back safe- ly from the w a oe HOOTING STARS, Restless Ambition. “What are you complaining about?” in- quired Aguinaldo’s friend. “Things are get- ting toward the point you were once ain- bitious to reach. You are having your own way.” “Well, I can’t feel sure about it. When sombody else takes up with my way, I'm not certain that it is altogether my way any more. I want things exclusive.” One Drawback. “I have a splendid ear for music,” said the complacent young man. “Yes,” answered Miss Cayenne, regret- fully, “but you don’t sing with your ear.” An Unknown Quantity. She searched through the lexicon once and again, And her face wore sad lines of misgiving; “I was seeking,” she said, with an accent of pain, “The Spanish for our word ‘Thanksgiv- ing.’ ”” A Theory. “What makes that noise in the heater?” asked the visitor. “I don't know,” answered the man who is constitutionally chilly: ‘‘but 1 guess it’s the temperature dropping.

From the Philadelphia Times. Mr. Roberts, the newly-elected congress- man from Utah, will not, it is said, take all or indeed any of his three wives to Washington; not at least until he has made sure of his seat, because though they are referred to in the dispatches as his “three plural wives" they would undoubtedly ap- pear somewhat singular in the national capital. One of them is a physician with a bent for literature, and among them there are seven children. —_ +> —__ No Excuse Whatever. From the Indianapolis Journal.
