TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY.

1t is reported that the King of Belgium
proposes to call conference Of European
powers to discuss the question Of anarchy
and to study the best means for its sup
preston. The conference is to be in
dorsed in the hope that it will lead to q
due enlightenment of European monarchs
and statesmen as. to the cause of anarchy
and the change Of policy which must fol-
low such an accession Of new informa-
ton.
If the anti-Anarchist conference gives to
the question Of Anarchist or Socialist agi-
tation that impartial and exhaustive in
vestigation it requires they will find that
its root lies in inequalities which result
from the social organization under exist
ing government Natural inequalities do
not produce anarchistic opinions. No man
will ever propose to blow up society with
dynamite because he cannot add cubit to
his stature or because his neighbor was in
youth quicker at mastering the Rule of
Three But it is where the inequalities
established by government in its broadest
sense place burdens or disadvantages on
the masses to the advantage of certain
ldNOlCu CldooCc tlldG lllc uiSSdtlSldCblOu CA.
lists which nourishes the theory of recon-
structing society with explosives.
1t is clear deduction that the way for
the European governments to suppress
anarchy is to make government so clearly
and impartially for the benefit of the
whole that the people will defend it as
their greatest privilege. When govern
ment establishes itself In the popular esti-
nation as protection and defense, An
archist seed will find no ground to take
root. But to suppress anarchy in that
way the people must not be burdened with
the maintenance of great armies to crafty
an imperial ambition, nor must society
open the doors of preferment and fortune
to favored class and close them to the
masses.
The lesson which European powers need
to learn on this topic is not without value
for this country. For, while our govern
ment is in theory for the benefit of the
whole people, there is sometimes vast
difference between theory and practice.

THE CANAL JOB.

In its last effort on behalf of the
Nicaragua Canal the New York Press
argues that half of the Naval Policy
Boards estimate of $500, ,OO0, 900 for a navy
sufficient to protect both the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts can be saved by building the
canal The Government is not asked to
pay anything, the Press declares, but
merely to guarantee interest on the
500, 600, 900 and 'expert authority has
estimated that the canal will not cost over
500, 900, 0o0."
This is departure from the former
statement of the same organ that the engi-
neer's estimates Of the cost of the canal
were only S65, ,O0o, 900, which has since be-
come ineonvenient. On the later state
ment the case is presented of asking the
Government to guarantee bonds for the
full cost of the canal. On the earlier one
it means that the promoters and members
of the construction company will pocket
S35, ,000, 900 for doing the Government the
favor of accepting its aid The country
has had too much experience with SUBJ
sidy jobs not to comprehend the full mean
ing of these figures.

case of actual war it is simply this: It
will be at the service of the power that
can assemble at both ends the strongest
naval force. If one combatant should be
able to have the strongest force at the At
lantic outlet and the other could control
the Pacific end it would be simply block
AIDED. A canal a thousand miles away
from its territory is the worst investment
with view to naval warfare that can be
made by power which does not maintain
itself in the lead of naval forces.
The United States has not so fully pro-
vided for the development and protection
of its internal commerce by waterways
that it is ready to dump 500, ,OOO, 900 of its
credit in Nicaragua to make big fortunes
for the canal promoters. If these gentle
men can find private capital to build the
canal they are entitled to do so; but the
first claim on any surplus funds for that
purpose is that Of the internal canals.

NEXT to going to war with England at
all, the most foolish thing we could do would
be to enter into an alliance with Russia for
the purpose. We contribute relief to fam

people laying claim to soundness of INTEL

Items Of Interest Gathered During Day at
the Capital.
WASHINGTON. March 16.-The SUBJ Com
mittee Of the Appropriations Committee
charged with an investigation of the Worlds
Fair expenditures, hns definitely decided to
begin on the 26sh instant in Chicago IN In
vestigation into the matter. The sub-com-
mittee reached the conclusion that the in
vestigation could be more successfully made
on the ground where all the Information
which might be needed would be more ac-
cessible than in Washington The sub-com-
mittee has made n call on heads of various
branches of the Exposition enterprise for in
formation relative to expenditures, and has
received reply to the effect that the facts
desired will be in shape for submission to
the subcommittee when it reached Chicago.
Representative Dockery. the Chairman, said
to-day that the investigation would be
thorough and complete, but that the conf
mittee would not do anything with respect
to the request for Government aid. All that
it had to do, he said, was to see If expendi-
lures had been properly made, and also
whether or not there had Deen extravaganza
in expenditures.
IT is learned to-day, semi-oficially, that
arrangements have been made for a re-es.

tween the United States and Italy, on the

been decided, will be ordered to return to
his post at Rome without unnecessary delay,
and it is expected that the appointment OF
the Italian minister to be accredited to this
country will be announced in a short time.
1t is said to be not at all unlikely that Baron
Fava, the former Minister who was recalled
soon after the New Orleans affair, will be
restored to his former position. He is known
to be warmlfriepd to this country.

weak to leave his room. 1t is said at his
house that he is making good progress

RUSSIA AND THE SEALING DISPUTE.

The report that Russia stands ready to
aid the United States in case the Bering
Sea difficulty should go to the extent of
actual hostilities is doubtless built on inse-
cure foundations. 1t is more than prob
able that Russia might make use of such a
conflict to further her designs on Asia, if
it could be utilized in that manner; but
even on that supposition the most improb-
able course would be for the Cars Gov
ernment to serve notice on England that it
would do so.
Viewing the thing as possibility the
practical results of such an alliance are
worth considering. Suppose for the sake
of the argument that the aid of Russia
would enable US to defeat England on the
seas, what would the United States be ex-
pected to give in return for that assistance?
1t is in the contemplation of such posi-
bility that we find the application of
Washington's warning to avoid entangling
alliances. Beyond that the only assist
ance which the United States could expect
from Russia would be naval, and the fleets
of Russia and the United States combined
can hardly be matched against that of
England. Russia might find her recon-
pense in the invasion of India; but Mus
covite conquest of Hindustan would not
repay the United States for the suspension
of its commerce and the possible destruc-
ton of its seacoast cities.
The report is of less importance because
sensible men in both countries know that
neither England nor the United States can
afford to commit the crime against civiliza-
tion Of war over lot of seals Poll
ticians and Jingoes on both sides of the
ocean may find satisfaction in exagger-
ating the dispute, but intelligent men
know that neither nation would endure
such war for year. Six months ex-
perience of its effects would bring the
governments of both countries under an
overwhelming popular demand for its ces-
sation. We believe that both Englishmen
and Americans would be stubborn in the
maintenance of the integrity of their gov
ernments where national honor is really at
stake. But that there is any Just cause of
war in the question about the seals will be
negatived by the intelligence of both
nations.
