1t is an excellent thing for the reputation
of George Washington that he was born
century and half ago. AS n representa-
tive of that class that means what it says
and acts according to its beliefs he was,
probably, a success; but il is idle to deny
that the class alluded to is altogether too
old-fashioned to be regarded to-day rs any
thing but an illustration Of the blunt ig-
norance of an earlier and less enlightened
that his birthday should be celebrated rs a
national holiday? lie kept few thousand
soldiers together for seven years on the
ground that the common interests OF the
whole people demanded their efforts; hut

tanned larger forces for II longer time by the
moro potent and cohesive force Of public

ideas from the very first. although
high rank and emoluments awaited
him If lie would only go over to
the side Of the King, and what
modern politician does not know that the
whole science Of practical politics consists
in going from one party to another when-
ever the inducements are sufficient and OF
legal tender character? IT there were
nothing else to show how overrated he was
as President it is to be found in the almost
utter indifference Of his administration to
the political standing and influence OF the
New York Custom House. As man who
was equal to the petty requirements of his
own day Washington may be respected
even now but in the light Of modern ex-
perience he appears plainly as a man who
could not even be elected an Alderman at
the present day, and who, il accidentally
counted in, would be utterly incompetent
to look out for himself or his friends.

Our despatch from Tashkend announces
the arrival at Samarcand, Oh their way to
Tashkend, of the ambassadors sent by
Shere Ali to the Russian Governor of Turk
estan. 1t is possible that these function
aries may be charged only with the common
place mission Of repeating tho announce
ment Of the Ameers desire to go to st. Peters,
burg, for though he has expressed this desire
several times and has received the broadest
possible intmations that he would not be
welcome there, it is not in the nature of
Oriental princes to accept as final any
statement that crosses their inclinations,
while Eastern diplomacy is commonly a
tedious process Of iteration. But it is also
possible that the mission may have propo-
sitions to make of altogether another nature.
In that case the instruction that General
Kaufman is said to be under will prove
very significa ; for if Russia adheres to
her pledges by refusing to listen to advan-
tageous proffers from the Ameer she will re-
move the last hope that encourages resist.

to the British expedition will be of the

But she seems not at all inclined that way.

| ton. unless in cases where the treaties con-
| tanned provisions for their termination.
| Treaties of course expire by their own limi-
tation; OF because the stipulations are with
| q country absorbed by another nationality,
as in the case of Algiers, or Hanover, or
Nassau, or because the executory parts fall
by war; Against France we did not in 1898
declare war, but the conduct of the Direc-
tory was such that, when our Ministers
were not received. when France de-
manded money as q condition Of friendship,
and John Marshall returned home with his
narration of events in Paris, Congress
quickly enacted series of hostile laws,
and among other things declared that
France had violated the treaties. had re-
PEELED our negotiations with indignity.
Therefore the United States said they were
''of right freed and exonerated." Dnt no
allegations of that character are made
against China, and the treaty with that
country contains no provision for cts terIni-
nation.
The bill returned TO the House does not
profess in terms to annul the treaty as
did Mr. Conklings amendment. but the
measure. if it becomes q law and is exc
cuted according to its intent, will
interfere with the fifth and sixth
articles of the treaty The fifth was no
doubt aimed to prevent involuntary cmi-
grafton from China or the coolie traffic,
but the sixth article stipulates that Chinese
subjects shall have such ''immunities" in
visiting" the United States, and remaining
therein, as the United States grant to SUBJ
jects or citizens Of any nation, excepting
the right of naturalization. The proposed
law, on the other hand, declares in effect
that Cinnamon shall only visit the United
States in squads OF not over fifteen persons,
while we allow the citizens, or subjects, of
other nations to come in any numbers.
1t is not, however, whether the govern
ment at Pekin is disposed to insist on the
right OF its subjects to come to the United
States as laborers, but certainly the En-
peror will not accept with composure such
offensive discrimination against his people,
and especially if he takes little interest in
friendly relations with the Christian Powers.
It is we'll known that many of the
rights which we have by the treaty of 1868,
and previous treaties secured in China, are
an annoyance at Pekin, such as the trial
Of our citizens by our own consuls, and the
immunities Of our missionaries. The prob
abilities are that unless wise diplomacy
quickly intervenes in Congress, as we'll as
i'm Pekin NIL of Our treaties with China
may be annulled by the Emperor.

Trouble with Indians in Alaska is proba-
bly, one Of the necessary consequences OF
our owning that Territory, for rs soon as
the red man becomes the ward Of this
nation he becomes obstreperous and wants
war. In Alaska there ought to be room
enough for few settlements and for all
the Indians of that country, yet it appears
they cannot get on without collision.
But here at least is one case in which the
burden of complaint is different from that
common among the Indians on the Plains.
1t is not pretended that any Indian agent
has lobbed these Northwestern savages Of
meat or other property. An irreconcilable
difference between the views of justice
held by the white man and the Indian
is the source of difficulty. Some Ind
ians. MS it is reported, were guilty of
q common Indian eccentricity in the way of
murder. How far they were provoked may
possibly appear upon official inquiry; for
they were taken in custody, and it is on
their account that their friends now threaten
to massacre everybody at Sitka. Whether
the Russians kept the peace by indulging
the Indians in these eccentricities or by an
administration that rendered provocations
to murder impossible we cannot say, but
il the people at Sitka are saved this point
may be worth Investigation. An interest
ing account is given elsewhere in to-day's
HERALD of the demoralizcd and disorgan-
lied condition OF society in the far away
Territory, from which it may be judged that
the present difficulty is only the first drop
Of q shower to come.

In to-days HEnALD will be found reci-
tai that ought to interest some ono in
Washington of the unceremonious way in
which the authorities at Fayal feel them
selves authorized to deal with an American
vessel and her captain. II appears that
scaling schooner which had put in there for
repairs was boarded and searched and q
quantity of tobacco was found which was
not upon the ships manifest, whcreupon
the captain was thrown into prison on
charge OF violation OF customs laws But
the tobacco which gave rise to these pro-
ceedings was the property of tho sailors
and part Of their stores. With crew of
sailors on whaler every one will UNDER
stand that tobacco is as indispensable an
article us pork or biscuit, and that what
they are all to use on long voyage would
necessarily be considerable in quantity.
To make the presence of such store tho
pretcxt for the act reported is one of those
small outrages never practised against any
other ships but ours, and practised against
ours apparently because all the world knows
that We never protect our ships II we can
help il.
