VIII Belgium Prove n Firebrand?

Those who recall how near Belgium came
to setting Europe in n blazo sixty years
ego, may we'll view with misgiving tho In
tcrnational outcome Of n revolution at
Brussels. Tho latest news from Belgium
demonstrates that a revolution is by no
means impossible. Unless King LEOPOLD
II. and the Conservative majority OF the
Chamber OF Deputies mako considerable
concessions to the popular demand for
universal suffrage, the monarchy may be
superseded by a republic OF q socialistic
tinge. The close proximity Of such a COM
monwealth to the centres Of socialistic
propaganda In Prussian Rhineland and
Westphalia. would naturally be regarded at
Berlin as n sonrce Of danger to German
social and political institutions. md the
German Government might be tempted to
interpose for what 1t would term the resto-
ration OF order.
We do not. indeed. put much faith In the
reported existence OF a treaty whereby
Germany is said to have bound herself to
assist the Belgian sovereign in the event OF
his being unable to put down a popular up.
rising. But. plainly, there would be stra-
tegic as we'll as political motives for offering
such succor. Already France commands
the sympathy Of the Walloon or French
speaking provinces Of Belgium. II the
same thing would DO true OF the cities n
large towns in the Flemish-speaking prov
inceS the moment q republic were estab-
lished. whether this wcro OF n Jacobin or q
%socialistlc type. A community Of aims and
interests would render the Belgian repub-
lie, In spite of nominal Independence. prnc-
tically as much an auxiliary Of the French
republic rs was the Bataviau republic about
a century ago. That is to say. in the event
OF wal between France and Germany. Bel
gian fortresses would probably welcome
French garrisons. and The russian Rhine
land would be exposed to invasion from its
defenceless frontier On the side Of Belgium.
Knowing that what formerly occurred
may occur again, and that the one weak
place Of the German empire on the west Is
the Belgian border. the Prussian general
staff would In all likelihood regard as indis-
pensnble m occupation OF Belgium on the
pretcnce o. restoring order. They would
deem it safer to confront the risks Of war at
once rather than wait until french garri-
SONS were admitted to the Belgian strong
holds. That war would follow German in
tervcntiou In Belgium cannot be for a mo-
ment doubted. 1t would be suicidal for
to suffer her mortal enemy to seize
a coign Of vantage that would probably
turn the scale in the contest which. at any
rate. cannot be deferred much longer.
Within twenty-four hours after the first
German regiment had crossed the Belgian
frontier. the French army also would be put
in motion. and Belgium would once more
become the cockpit Of Europe.
Let US hope that LEOPOLD II. will by
prompt and large concessions to the wishes
OF his people avoid giving any pretext for
Intervention. which would prove in
the end a curse to his own country besides
involving a continent in war.

We fear that the United States would not
make MS favorable n show In a rcview OF the
carrying vessels Of the commercial countries
OF tho world as 1t will make next week In tho
naval review in our waters. 1t is not to our
credit that the two best steamships In tho At
laptic trade owned by an American company
were built in Q British shipyard. or that We
have not any steamships on the Pacific that
are superior to those OF the British line be-
tween Vancouver and Hong Kong. 1t Is to our
discredit that our country controls a less pro-
portion OF the carrying trade OF the world
tapart from the c~oasting and lacustrine trade)
than It controlled sixty or seventy or eighty
years ago.
Surely we ought not to rest satisfied as long
as our commercial fleet upon tho high seas Is
smaller. not only than that Of England or Of
Germany. but also than that Of France. Of
Italy. or OF Holland.

makes Its appearance from time to time in

ipal affairs are n matter Of business. and
not OF politics. the chief concern OF the
Times will be. as it has always been. in
New York. in Brooklyn, and In whatever
city its influence may reach. to bring about

this to its statement that it is henceforth to

should say. n newspaper supporting Demo-
cratic candidates aud policies.
What Is tho difference between the right
OF the people OF the country to control their
State or national affairs through the agency
OF tho party to which thcy belong. and the
right OF the people Of a city to do the same
thing. forthe same reason?
The people Of this State are to choose in
November a State Comptroller to look
after their financial concerns in Albany.
The Democratic State Convention will nomi-
nnta "A Democrat; the Republican State
Convention will nominate II Republican.
The people will choose between them. II
there prove to be more Democrats than
Republicans in the state, the Democratic
NOMINEES will win; II there prove to be
fewer. the Republican will win. On the
same day and on the same ticket. tho
voters of New York city will vote for q
Comptroller to look after the financial af-
fairs of this municipality. The Democrats
will nominate a candidate. and the Repub-
leans will set up another. II a majority OF
the p0ople favor Democratic rule In this

don't. he will DO defeated. Such is the es-
sspce OF popular government. How can it

Affairs and another for city affairs?
This pretended distinction. where none
exists, has been u fruitful cause of Mug
wamp disappointment and distress. 1t is a
sort OF political color blindness. 1t besets
the Mugwuinps at every step. Apparently
they caunot got away RON 1t.
In the same way the States law officer,

Is there for applying tho test of party mem

Tho Mugwump theory. which begins in

says. municipal affairs are matters of bust

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE treaty between

reported to tho Senate last week If adjourn

disappointment over the failure in diplomatic

eral thousand miles distant from Honolulu,
they are so situated that. vessels on the
west coast Of South America could easily
reach them and take on enough coal to'pro-
coed to Hawaii under full speed. an imnossi-
BILE thing with the Lresent meaGre allowances
for coal and the difficulty Of procuring 1t in

ascertained which island OF the Galapagos
Archipelago has been selected for the station.
It is believed that Chatham Island is the site
determined on. Chatham Is ono OF the three
Inhabited islands in the GROUP. and was used
from 1920 until some years ago MS n convict
settlement. The treaty does not become void
by tho failure OF the Senate 10 ratify il. and 1t
