1t Will be Revised.

Nearly all Of the objections which we have
from time to time urged against the Inter-
State Commerce act have had consideration
In the Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce. We are glad to learn that our
protests have not been unavailing. Not only
is there wider and more intelligent discus
sion OF the effects OF the Interstate act on
the part Of the public and press, but it Is as
sured that the measure itself will be recast
by the next Congress,
1t Is pity that there should be such delay
In dealing with a matter 30 vital to the
business interests Of the country, but In the
present course OF events at Washington 1t
is unavoidable. The members OF the Inter-
State Commerce Commission are described
as not aversa to the changes which It Is
proposed to make In the law. The rebuffs
which they have had to endure from the
courts upon every occasion on which their
authority has been questioned or tested
have taught them that their Official exist
ence depends upon the modification of the
law. Indeed, We hold to the opinion that
Congress can do what 1t pleases with the
Interstate Commerce act so long as It does
not disturb the salaries.
1t Is true that Mr.. Commissioner MoRRI-
SON may have Independent views. He has
ambition, and he has paraded the Inter
State Commission In full view OF the farmers,

CHARLEsToS. Aug. % Senator NJ. c. Butler
arrived in Columbia to- day and will attend the
strsiGhtout Democratic conference which is to
meet tomorrow and which will probably de-
eide whether there is to be split in the Demo-
cratic party. Senator Butler, 1t is said. is to
appear in the role OF peacemaker, and the ru-
NOR prevails In Democratic circles here that
his proposition is that the straightouts will
swallow Tillman upon his promise that the
Legislature will not interfere with the seats Of
Hampton and Butler in the Senate. No such
compromise will be agreed to here.
Another report is that Congressman George
D. TIlman Of the Second district is about 10
come home to look after his fences. He is, q
brother OF the candidate for Governor. and it
was thought would have walkover for re-
election despite the fact that he has kicked his

attempt TO call the state nominating Conven-

The straiRhtouts are very much ENCOURAGED
by the result Of the Congress primary in tho

vocation Of Congress Of Berlin, and COM
pelled the Car to submit to q revision OF his
treaty and the diminution Of his gains
There was no Congress called after the wars
OF 1895 and 1870, though the one involved the
reconstruction OF Germany and the other
the dismemberment Of France. Why must

exhibition Of little gratitude by his Ger

Russia has another and peculiarly CALLING
ground OF complaint against Germany. OBJ
noxlous az were some OF the provisions OF
the Berlin treaty, che accepted them and has
never infringed them. But the treaty has
been violated by others to the Cars detri-
ment, and II Germany has not openly con-
nived at the offence che has not raised
hand to avert 1t or redress 1t. Not only
has the Porte failed to pay the money
indemnity promised to Russia and broken
its pledge TO protect the Christians In Ar
menia, but steps have been taken In def
ance OF the treaty to create In the Balkans
strong slav monarchy avowedly hostile to
the Gear. Already Bulgaria has annexed
Eastern Roumelia, and her leading politi-
clan, STAMBuLoFF, is now preparing for
similar enoroachments in Macedonia
by procuring from the Porte the
appointment Of three Bulgarian Bishops in
that country. Are these things to pass with
out remonstrance on the part Of the central
powers2 Was the treaty OF Berlin COM
pact. OF which the Gar WINS meant to be the
dupe2 Are the provisions which despoiled or
trammelled Russia to be enforced with rigor
while ali tho concessions to the claims mnde

such DO the fixed policy OF Germany, what
has the Gear to lose by war, Of which peace
Is not rapidly depriving him ?
Such are. at all events the views Of ALEX

hampered as he is by obligations to Austria,
can persuade the Czar to renounce them.

How Can Germany Appease the Gar?
It seems to be generally believed in Europe
that WILLIAM II. is visiting the Gar In the
hope Of allaying his avowed dissatisfaction
with the state Of things In the Balkan penin-
sula. 1t Is also assumed in many quarters
that, II the attempt at conciliatlon fails the
outbreak OF war upon the Danube cannot
much longer be deferred. But what COM
promise is possible between tho aspirations
and interests Of the HAPsBURas on the one
hand and the RoMANoFFs on the other
How can tho German Emperor. the keystone
OF whose policy is steadiast cooperation with
Austria, redress the grievances Of which
ALEXANDRA III. complainsH
From tho Russian point OF view, which
outside OF Franco Is seldom indicated, the
Gar has grave reason to reproaoh his Ger
man hnsman, not only on tho SCORE Of the
existing situation In southeastern Europe,
but with reference to many Of the events
which have convulsed the Continent during
the last quarter Of Q century. Tho Gear
may say with truth: My family has rem
derod yours as inestimable services as In
earlier days 1t rendered to the HAPsBURas.

nasty from extinction at the hands Of tho

Vienna. Tho experience Of ALKxANpRR II.
with Prussia was not dlssimilaF. But for his
warning attitude in 1896 NAPOLEON III.
would have plucked up courage to succor
Austria and Badowa would not have
made the HoHENzoLLKRNs chiefs Of the
North German Confederation. Again, In
1870. had NOT AIMxANDER II. enforced
neutrality. Austria. which hunRered for re-
venEe. would have assembled her forces In
BohemiA. and the troops Fastening 30 the
siege OF Nets would have been recalled to
shield the Prussian capital. In Q word,
without the active good will and positive In.
terposition Of the RoNANoIEa the Frankfort
Diet would still be In existence. and Prussia
would be what she was In 1850. second-rate
power. without much influence In Germany,
and without hope OF aggrandIEement.
