INCE Colonel Watterson decided to cease being S Warwick and concluded to be King; since he looked upon the Governors he has made and called them bad and decided to be Governor himself, s gone into retreat, far from the sound of the ery whistle when it gives shrill notice that the is in order, and remote even from the tele- or season. In this seclusion our interesting Mahatma is think- ing out a Democratic party, conducting it to glorious victory and handing down party, victory and all the offices and muniments of power to the Swamis that watch by night on the political plains below his perch. He has selected the constitution of the United States as the new platiorm of his triumphant Democ- He has recently looked that document over, and after the most careful inspection and trial of every section as carefully as a wheel-tapper tries the underpinning of a train decides that it is good leather and any party that takes it for a platform will go under the wire while the other is foaming down the backstretch The colonel seems to think that there can be no dispute about the constitution, and that the party which adopts it entire will have the other on the hip. Ii he will some day revisit his birthplace, Washington City, and go to the law section of the Congressional library, he will find a bewildering array of books con- taining the cases decided by the Supreme Court to settle disputes over the meaning of the constitution. He will discover that different constructions of his proposed platiorm have generated legal controver- sies over Federal and State rights, over person and property, and cover the whole range of the science of law, from admiralty to eminent domain, from the dominion of the sea to dominion of the land He racy will find that, from the beginning, members of the ; same party have differed about the meaning of the constitution, and members of different parties have agreed with each other. After he has looked over the index of all these volumes and read several syllabi he will conclude that all differences of construction have been recon- ciled by the court, znd will cry, “Go to! What if my countrymen have been dull of apprehension and have differed about this, the court has made it all clear, and damned be he who cavils further!” But if he will go to the Capitol he will find sitting in the old Senate chamber, in a dim, religious light, nine gentlemen arrayed in black silk gowns, cut full in the skirt. He stands before the Supreme Court of the United States in its working dress. Before it is a docket, so long that it is never cleared and finished, filled with cases arising in differences of opinion and construction of that szme constitution. He will see the bar of that court the legal talent of the coun- try. arrayed, giant against giant, in a mighty conten- tion about what his platform means. Then he will go back to his Himalaya and say, “Boys, let’s fall back on the familiar, kome-made article. Let us con- tinue to view with aversion and alarm the policy of the other party and point with pride to our promise to pay, if we wim”, And ghat is what it will come to. With that un- guenchable enthusiasm of youth, which time cannot touch. Colonel Watterson cries out now: “The Dem- ocratic party is nothing if it be not the party of the constitution. In that character, adequately equipped and skillfully marshaled, nothing can resist it. In Kentucky all is well. How is it clsewhere? Watch- man, tell us of the night!” Well, Henry, outside Kentucky the buys continue to water it a little. When the British get tired ‘of chasing the Boers they sit down and try to think out how the Boers manage to keep on hand so many fresh horses and such a supply of ammunition. In the end, however, they have to give up the problem. They find it about as tiring as any other feature of the war. General Buller shows about as much strategy in bluffing the British War Office as he did in trying to storm the Boer intrenchments, and he may yet have an experience as sad as that which befell him on the romantic banks of _Tugel: River. 7 bell, which heeds no hours and has no set time | RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA. ISPATCHES from Washington announce D that strong efforts are being made to procure from Congress an act granting many of the products of Cuba free access to the markets of - the United States. The movement is supported par- tially by arguments of an economic nature, but mainly by appeals to sentiment. It is urged that since we have done so much for Cuba we should do something more; that having given her people free- dom we should now make a sacrifice of ourselves in order to make them rich. It has long been known in the world that business and sentiment do not mix well. The combination is always hurtful to some extent, and not infrequently it is disastrous to both sentiment and business. The peculiar plea made for Cuba is therefore in its very nature open to objection and subject to suspicion. It may be fairly asked if the proposed freedom of trade with Cuba will be beneficial to American in- dustries why talk about the alleged “moral obliga- tion” to grant it? If it will not be beneficial to our interests why not confine the plea strictly to appeals to sentiment and leave business out of the question altogether? ? The business argument is invalid. Reciprocity with Cuba would expose to the competition of the cheap labor of the island many of the largest of our indus- tries, and even if they were not large the objection would be just as strong, for the protective system would be unfair and unjust if it did not protect all home industries without respect to their magnitude. The study of the reciprocity treaties negotiated by Commissioner Kasson has given the American peo- ple a wider understanding of the policy of reciprocity than they had before, and the difficulties of applying the system in practice are now generally recognized. The consequence has been the development of a pub- lic sentiment in opposition to the scheme as a whole. Reciprocity with Cuba as a business proposition would not be essentially different from reciprocity with any other nation. It will have to be studied with respect to its effect on American industries, and when so studied is found to be objectivnable from every point of view. The sentimental plea is well nigh as weak as the business argument. It is a familiar experience that if you help 2 man once you will have to help him again. The more you help him the more he relies upon you, and by and by you will either have to support him altogether or quit heiping him at all. We have helped Cuba, and because we have done so it is now argued we must continue to help her. It is therefore perti- nent to ask how far the help is to go and how long it is to continue. To what extent are the Cubans to have a moral right to ask our assistance in promot- ing their business because we gave them assistance in establishing their independence? Are the Cubans to become, like the Indians, “perpetual wards of the na- tion,” with an increasing expectation of favors to come year after year? If it be insisted that we are bound to help the | Cubans get rich, then the question arises how that | help shall be given. To expose a few of our indus- tries to unrestricted Cuban competition while leav- ing other industries fully protected would be to throw | the whole burden of helping Cuba upon the exposed industries alone. That would not be fair. If we are | morally bound to help Cuba the obligatioa rests upon i the whol? people and not upon a few industries. The help, therefore, should be given in the form of a sub- sidy and not in the fcrm of free trade for her prin- cipal products. The people of the United States have freed the Cu- bans, and now the Cubans should be left to work out their own salvation. The plea made in their behalf | is invalid, whether made as a business proposition or as a sentimental appeal. Whatever duty we owe to Cuba, our first duty i to our own people, and one of the cardinai features of the home duty is that of pro- tecting the industries upon which our workingmen depend fcr a livelihood. As the President himself has said, “that is thc prime consideration of our entire economic legislation.” e Colonel Bryan repeats that he does not agree with President Roocsevelt on matters of politics, but he commends his disapproval of dock-tailed horses; so it will be seen the Colonel is getting slowly round to a friendly and appreciative frame of mind. By and by he may approve of other things. L he fall appiies to the pride of nations and of men alike. Up to cighteen months ago Germany was enjoying the greatest period of prosperity she has known in all her history. Profit was High, her staples found a ready market, her labor was employed, its wages were greater than ever, and speculation, which is an inscparable attendant upon national prosperity, lustily rioted on the Berlin boerse. Bankers had to | enlarge their premises to accommodate customers, 1 and the Paris edition of the New York Herald, in its Berlin correspondence, says the brokers became so suddenly affluent that they bought estates for them- selves and set up establishments that rivaled the no- | bility. In the general exuberance this thick buttering of { bread on both sides was attributed to Germany's ap- | pearing in “welt politik”—to her springing into the | ring as a world power. She had seated herself with- | out let or leave in a Chinese seaport and had blandly assumed the head of the table in Asia, ready to ask Russia and England whether they preferred white or | dark meat at the feast of partition of China. Now it has all faded like the mirage. By the subtle operation of that law of reaction which nothing i seems able to exclude from human affairs, the tide stopped, stood still and began to recede, carrying ruin on its ebb. A Bankers are left loaded with stocks that are shrink- ing to nothing. Brokers find themselves with no money to support the state and circumstance of their cstates. Manufactories are closing down, shipping is idle, and in Berlin alone nearly 50,000 laborers have no work and the harsh winter is piercing their rags. Men marvel at it and seek the cause. One says over- speculation, another over-production, a third “welt politik.” Combined, these all may be the causes of the cause. That is the giddy sense of danger that comes to men when they fly too high. Sometimes satiety figures among the causes. A group of men feel that for the present they have enough. They begin to “cash in,” as it were. Immediately another group sees in this some hidden meaning and take it as a sign to get from under, and they cash in also. The first group illustrate prudence and moderation, but their prudence runs into a panic and the wheels stop, the sails are furled, and all credit, legitimaté and speculative, comes to liquidation. In that day of judgment Asiatic seaperts and far islands buffer noth- ing. The pains and penalties of over-confidence must be suffered, and men must wait until the law of re- action restores confidence, picks trade out of the gut- GERMAN DEPRESSION. ET him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest ter, coaxes speculation out of the cyclone cellar, oils the rusty wheels and calls labor to the refreshment of employment. We underwent our experience in 1893, and Ger- many is getting hers now. However, let no fnan think that our turn will not come again, for it will. No* fiscal nor financial system, no statute nor decree, can prevent these periods. The man who takes advantage of the good years to get out of debt and keep out is the Solomon, the wise man of the situation, for he will not know hard times when they meet. We sympathize with Germany. We have still the taste of souphouse bouillon in our mouths, and be- fore we forget it altogether may be swallowing it again. From the firmness with which the Bulgarian ban- dits hold out for the full amount of ransom for Miss Stone they first demanded it would seem they be- lieve they have the only missionary in the market and have a monopoly. s A VANISHED BUGABOO. URING the whole of the past summer and D fall a fear of a possible reopening of this country to unrestricted Chinese immigration has been upon a coasiderable portion of the people. The Chinese Minister had the floor, as it were. He began with a Fourth of July speech at Philadelphia, diplomatically preparing the way for a sentiment in opposition to exclusion. Thereafter he went on at different times to spcak more boldly and to suggest special reasons,why Chinese immigration would be beneficial to the East and to the South. His utter- ances were taken up by influential papers in the East, and, while they were not directly commended, they were neither refuted nor condemned. Consequently there was good reason on the surface of things -to fear that the fight for exclusion would be difficult and the victory by no means certain. The poll of Congress by The Call correspondent at Washington shows that after all there was more talk than danger in the diplomacy of the astute Chi- nese Minister. Public sentiment all over the coun- try has been too firmly formed to be shaken by his | specious arguments concerning the advantages of Chinese labor to the South or Chinese trade to the East. The arguments of the Minister were taken in the East as good subjects for midsummer discussion, and a special interest was given to them by the fact that they came from z Chinaman capable of making riot only witty after-dinner speeches at American ban- quets but a first-class Fourth of July oration. The effect of them, however, was virtually nothing. The people remained steadfast in the resolve that Ameri- can workingmen shall not be exposed in their own homes to the competition of Chinese, and that re- solve is well understood by Congressmen of all par- ties. The firm declaration in the President’s message in favor of the immediate re-enactment of the exclusion law so amended as to make it entirely effective, taken together with the declarations of members of Con- gress, puts an end to all fears that may have been felt upon the subject. It is now clear the American people have had ample experience with race problems and are not going to expose themselves de- liberately to the coming of another. A Chinese ex- clusion bill will be passed and it will be so drawn as to provide for exclusion as the permanent policy of the country. Such being the situation there is mo need to send a delegation to Washington, no need to raise money to defray its expenses. The fight for exclusion has been won and the. issue is settled. We shall have a better law on the subject than ever before, and the only thing required of the people in future will be to see that it is strictly and honestly enforced. P — The French Government is talking about putting a tax upon pianos, and it is scarcely necessary to say there is music in the air that sounds dangerous to the Ministry. T the Panama railway open to commerce. Colombia, like all the isthmian and South American countries, has the revolutionary habit as a chronic ailment. There seems to be no remedy for it but phlebotomy, but bleeding rarely accompanies revolution down there. The casualties in one of those frequent outbursts are hardly equal to the car- nage of a football game between the students of two | American universities. A revolution among those people is simply the means of changing an adminis- tration. In Salvador, for example, there has not been a Presidential election for twenty-six years, though the constitution of that country requires that such election be had every four years. An administration stays in power and stands at the point where the pub- lic revenues are lost by “friction” between the collec- tion and the public treasury, and when some ambi- tious, impecunious patriot concludes that the ins have fattened enough on friction he strikes an attitude, raises his voice for purity of government, gets. a few musketeers together and chases out the incumbent and proceeds to place himself at the friction point and prospers until his turn comes. The United States has no desire to interfere with this rotation in the en- joyment of friction, but only to protect the interests of civilization. For this purpose it placed jackies to guard the Panama railway and forbade the bombard- ing of Colon, which would have destroyed the ter- minus of that road. Thereupon European journals saw our intention to permanently occupy the isthmus, and indulged in serious reflections upon our imperial purposes, and upon the Monroe doctrine in general. We have no wish to occupy the isthmus. We are by treaty the trustee of the right of the civilized world to commercial transit of the isthmus, and we have asserted our responsibility in the only possible way. When- the nickel revolution is over and the new or old beneficiary of friction has his pocket under the hopper, and is able incidentally to keep the isthmus open, we will withdraw and go about our business elsewhere. Perhaps we cannot too much wonder at the mis- construction put upon our action by European jour- nals. After all, they are only paying us back in our own coin. When England sent a warship into Co- rinto to capture the custom-house and collect rev- enue to pay a British subject who had been flogged on his bare back by the temporary tyrant of that country Senator Morgan, then chairman of the For- eign Affairs Committee, to vent his spite on Cleve- land’s administration, said in an interview that our supineness had admitted England into Nicaragua and she was there to stay, and henceforth that country was to become a dependency of the British crown. Of course this was rot, for Great Britain was only doing that which we might with frequent profit imi- tate. She was teaching one of these little irrespon- sible tyrannies to keep its hands off her people, and if the lesson had involved blowing up the Corinto EUROPEAN IDEAS OF US. HE United States is bound by treaty to keep | cuartel it would not have been too severe.
