Should this plan be put through there would be good reasons to expect much from the new government. Nothing is more needed in Mexico today - than a united sentiment and the ending of the lawless bands which are for the most part the result of disagreements and the Insistence upon fulfilling personal ambi- tions. It will be a big stroke for Mex- fco to overcome this state of affairs at this time and while all eyes are center- ed upon that country it is perfectly well understood of course that Mexico too of- ten does just the opposite to what are set forth in the doctor's orders. THE ITALIAN PREMIER. In view of the part which Premier Nitti has played in the concert of Euro- pean powers, the conditions which exist in Italy today and the matters in Which Italy is particularly interested more at- tention than usual will be directed to his resignation an dthe fall of his ministry. It has been perfectly evident that his | has not been a bed of roses. The role of premiership has made him tackle some decidedly difficult problems. There have been determined factions to con- tend with and conditions following the war have been such as to make most dif- ficult the effort to bring them together. It has been a ease of being constantly on his guard lest the advocacy of one thing would be sufficient to antagonize the one party while a different view would be equally troublesome with the other. One of the hardest fights that Pre- e | nfer Nitti was forced o rmake con- i1 cerned the Adriatic question. Although and the fall of his ministry was domes- tic rather than foreign there will be deep interest nevertheless in the effect that may be had upon Italy's future stand in regard to both. Therefore there will be keen concern in the successor to Nitti. Italy has been forced to deal with much radicalism since the war and Nit- ti was a strong advocate of early recog- nition of the soviet government of Rus- sia. Whether his successor will view the Adriatic question, the Turkish situation Russia and domestic problems so en- tirely different as to upset present plans remains to be seen. He must give con- sideration to and base the cabinet that he selects on the demands of the people or to is he as he had no easy berth it cannot be expected by his successor that his task is going to be any easier unless he ‘can get a bet- ter hold on the situation and make the diametrically opposed factions see the folly of their stand and the wisdom of working together for the good of Italy. ch dy an g0 Ll THE LOAN TO CHINA. The needs of China and the import- ance of giving it the benefit of outside assistance through loans participated in by the leading powers have again been recognized. For such aid as it may be given China is not to give special privi- leges to any one nmation. It is not to be placed in the control of another, but on the other hand the joint loan means that there is to be continued that policy of opening China to all which was gstab- lished some years ago. g Development along peace lines is the nd| Purpose of the work that China seeks to undertake. It is rich in matural resources which need to be developed for its own good. It needs more railroads and it needs the means- to help it expand in keeping with its great size and to make use of its latent forces. China has reason to be pleased as the result of the negotiations that have just been completed, because all the powers participaling in the loan will do o on equal terms. This will apply to Japan as well as the others, the compliance of Japan to such a demand by the other powers meaning the giving up of its claim to cértain special privileges which it has maintained it should have in ongolia, Manchufia and northeastern China China has long been a bone of con- tention. It is unquestionably for the good of that country that others are so strongly opposed to any one getting spe- cial privileges there. With all helping in the extension of financial assistance none will secure advantages not obtain- ed by the others and China will get the full berefit of the assistance extended. It is a sensible solution and one that should be adhered to in connection with 1l similar deals. It is a policy that will work out not 6nly for the good of China but it will be a mest important factor in avoiding trouble in that part of the world, at to to to | as ch of 00 is on to a i EDITORIAL NOTES.

July 31, died in Carter County, ‘Tenn., aged 6 Andrew Johnson's presidency began with a great tragedy and came near ending in another. ~With a two-thirds majority in congress his opponents over- rode his vetoes, seized control of recon- struction, stripped the president of au- thorit to dismiss a postmaster or to get rid of an ememy even in his own cabinet, and bound him hand and foot. Swept on in a very “torrent, tempest and 5 whirlwind of passion,” they attempted to eject from the White House its helpless occupant, and in an appetite for unbridled power, they commanded the Supreme Court to entertain no ap- peals from their edicts on the subject of reconstruction. » Although the president faithfully exe- cuted the reconstruction laws that had been passed over his vetoes, he. had as- serted the rightwhich never before had been denied a president, to choose his own cabinet advisers. When he tried to dis- miss Secretary Stanton, Stanton turned the War Depuartment into a fort, and for weeks held it, night and day, sleep- ing cating at his post for weeks. Smotion having supplanted reason, the house hastened to declare that ‘inj the name of the house of representatives and the people of the United States we do impeach Andrew Johnson, president of | the United States of high erimes and mis- demeanors.” Although there vere | twelve counts in the remarkable indict- ment, no crimes were specified and the misdemeanors- that were alleged, con- sisted almost wholly of the president’s! attempts to remove Stanton without the | consent of the senate.

Evarts, was chided for working on Sunday the preparation of his defense of Johnson, he replied: “Is it not written that ‘if thine ass falleth into a pit it is lawful to pull him out on the Sabbath Day? . There was a general expectation that the senate would convict, no matter how fiimsy the case, and crowds of eager par- tisans flocked to Washington to enjoy | the spectacle of a White House eviction —to see “Andy walk the plank.” Senator Ben Wade of Ohio was confident to the last that he would be called on, as President of the senate, to take John- son’s place. His inaugural is said to have been written and his cabinet selected, with General Butler of Massachusetts for | secretary of state. Mrs. Wade was no less forehanded than her husband. She was surrounded at her hotel and in the senate gallery with her women guests, who had come on from Ohio to assist at her installation as mistress of thel White House, and they had provided | themselves with becoming gowns for the great function. As the roll of the senats was ealled, amid a hushed suspense, the repubi can senators all voted for conviction, un- til the Chief Justice asked, Mr..
