EUROPEAN CONTROVERSY.

The State Department has contrived to drag
the country into what is peculiarly European
controversy. Its demand, enforced by the
presence Of a United States man-of-war, for
the release of two natives of Morocco, who
have been armed by the American Consul with
patents Of protection. has been rejected with
contcmptuops Indifference. The Enterprise has
left Tangier presumably to return with the
Ouinnebaug and Lancaster for more formid-
able naval demonstration. The evolutions OF
this mimic American squadron Of Anticipated
third-rates quarter of century behind the
times will naturally excite cynical amusement
In naval circles. This, however, il not the
worst feature of this fantastic display OF en-

Conference met at Madrid. As it was, France
rejected radical proposals supported by Eng
land and Austria for the abolition OF exisang
abuses, and Joined Italy in reaffirming the
ancient privilege of protecting natives. Owing
70 these rivalries the Conference adjourned

ity of the Sultan. III the United States UoV-

cd spectators. Their consuls are all intriguing
for diplomatic supremacy In Morocco. These
Powers will be likely TO resent American in
tervention in what 10 essentially European
controversy.
Another circumstance Of this dispute which
will excite criticism both at home and abroad
Is the fact that second Conference has been
copvoked for the settlement Of the precise
onestion at issue. The Sultan's demand for
the abolition of the present practice OF con-
yerting native Moors into proteges of various
foreign Governments has been taken up by
spain. and representatives of dozen Powers
are to reassemble this year to revise the whole
system. Certainly this is most unfortunate
time for American Intervention on oehalf Oh
the mischief making consulates. The Old sys-
tenn of exempting favored natives from the
jurisdiction of the Government of Morocco is
doomed. 1t is unjust in principle and trouble
some in practice. The two Mahometans
whom the Sultan has declined to release were
never entitled to the privilege of American
adoption. Semi-civilized countries with laws
and tribunals adapted to their social and re-
ligious condition should not be unnecessarily
harassed and vexed by interference from the
diplomatic representatives of foreign Powers.
The privileges Of ambitious consuls in granting
patents of protection have led to manifold
abuses. These abuses should be removed In
the interest of civilization. If wise counSeiS
prevail at the Conference natives Will be re-
manded to the jurisdiction of their own courts
and Consul Lewis will be required to devote
his energies to the protection of genuine rather
than fictitious American rights. In the IN
terests of peace and natural equity the state
Department would have shown discreuon IN
restraining the impetuous ardOr OF Mr. Lewis
and in postponing indefinitely the naval evolu-
tions on the coast of Morocco. 1t migho at
least have awaited the issue of the Conference

ments naval resources.
