SOBRIETY AND PATRIOTISM.

wise and. hope, a useful suggestion re-
lating to the chief topic of the time comes, not
unexpectedly, from the Rev. DIR. Newman
Smyth, Of New-Haven. He says: There Is a
"long road Of investigation and diplomacy before
"us. and If the sober, conservative men Of the
country, however they may dissent from the
presidents position, will not themselves im
tate the incompetence Of Jlngoism but express
their dissent soberly and with that respect for
"our Government which patriotism requires, we
may hope in time for a reasonable and peace
"fu solution
The only persons who have seemed to be
on the brink of lunacy, or actually over it,
since this controversy suddenly became acute,
are the ex-Cuckoos. They have not, as
DR. Smyth implies, initiated the intemperance
OF Jngoisn., and that is our only point of dis
agreement with him. Their intemperance is
not an imitation it Is original and unique No
body else, so far as We have observed, has yelled
himself black in the face. Those who have sup
ported the Presidents course wholly or in part
have with very few exceptions done so quietly.
Members OF Congress. though they acted with
extraordinary promptness, In fact with unneces-
sary haste, as we thought, have spoken, in pub
for their utterances. Those newspapers which
have in general approved the proceedings at
Washington have used temperate language
evncing a cool control Of their tempers. what
ever may be the ultimate opinion as to their
judgment. The clergy, as q rule, have given
temperate expression to their views. Even
those individuals who insisted on having their
say at the Cooper Union meeting. without regard
to the regular programme. were at least as good
natured as they were unruly
The exCuckoOs alone have acted like manlacs
There has been more turbulence In their utter
ances than in those Of all the rest of the coun-
try put together. For week they have been
screaming. and silence on their part would be a
blessed relief But If they are unable to keep
still, we earnestly commend TO them Dr. Smyths
exhortation. 1t Is courteously delivered and
ought not to offend anybody. 1t Is In their
power, we hope, to express their dissent sober
"ly, and with that respect for our Government
(which patriotism requires" They ought at
least to try. And this is good day to make
the experiment.

SUPREME COURT AND COMMISSION.

II is reported that Chief Justice Fuller has
declined to be a member Of the Venezuela Boun-
dary Commission. We do not pretend to Know
whether the President has asked him TO serve
or what his inclination may he; but inasmucli rs
his name has been frequently mentioned In con-
nection with the matter. and this rumor is now
in circulation, we venture to say that 1t should
not be regarded as a misfortune II neither the
Chief Justice nor any of his associates Is called
TO this grave and delicate task. This we say. OF
course. without the slightest disrespect and only
because It seems to us that considerations of the
highest Importance are suggested whenever II
is proposed that the Judges OF that tribunal
should serve the country outside their constitt-
tional sphere There Is no lack Of learning. abil-
ity. capacity for patient research and impartial
ity on the Supreme Bench. and we should expect
that those qualities would be illustrated In this
case by any member whom 1t spared FOR the
Commission. But 1t is ut least conceivable that
ont Of the proceedings about to begin situation
or n feeling may be developed for which the
country could not afford TO have Justice of the
Supreme Court held In the slightest degree Off
cialy responsible
IT would be great calamity II the Supreme
Court should lose the confidence and respect OF
the American people or he lowered in the estlma-
ton Of the world SO long as 1t exercises only
those functions which belong TO it as coordi-
nate branch Of the Government absolutely indie
pendent within its constitutional limits and
raised as far as possible above the influence OF
human passions, 1t Is not likely to lose its high
renown. If its Judges were frequently sum-
moned from their specific duty to perfoon some
other National service, we should fear that 1t
would not long retain its present distinction.
This is an unusual occasion. but we are not con-
WINGED that it ought on that account TO be re-
garded as an exception to salutary rule. Mem
bers of the Supreme Court have been assigned
before to tasks of Il judicial nature which their
office did not impose upon them perhaps with
propriey and advantage. 1t is not necessary
to discuss particular instances Of the kind. Even
II no harm has resulted in the past from such
excursions beyond their constitutional domain,
we do not think that this Is case in which a
doubtful precedent ought to be followed.

PROTECTION IN THE BRITISH EMPIRE

Protection in England has commonly been
taken to mean re-enactment Of the Corn Laws
In that form ii is impossible. But ii Is not Just
thus to interpret it, any more than it would be
TO say the repeal Of those laws was the whole
of Free Trade. At the present time there is no
idea Of such re-enacment, even on the part of
the most pronounced Protectionist There are
however. two ideas, or rather convictions wide
ly prevalent and very strong. and steadily in
creasing in both extent ard strength. These
are, first, that the present system favors manu-
features and commerce at the expense of agr
culture. so much that agriculture Is no longer
profitable and is rapidly becoming lost indus
try; and second, that Frec-Trade Britain Is no
longer able to stand alone against the Protcc
ZIONIST remainder OF the world or that il she is
TO do so it must he by making the mother coun
try and the colonies fiscal and commercial
unit. Those are the meanings of the movement
headed by Mr.. Lowther and the proposals put
forward by Mr.. Chamberlain
How serious a matter agricultural depression
has become, not merely In occasional years. but
all the time is to be seen in some recent official
statistics. In 1871 there were 22j,J60 men Ell.
gagged farmers and graziers: in 1901 only
201,91S. In 1871 no less than 100000 men were
employed as agricultural laborers ana farm ser.
wants; in 1891 only 7349S4 These losses are not
counterbalanced by any extended introduction
of machinery. They simply mean that the
amount Of farm work done is steadily decreas.
Ing year by year; and SO are the areas Of land
cultivated and the amount Of grain produced.
Instead Of the moors and forest preserves Of
great estates being broken up for tillage. land
hitherto cultivated is being allowed to relapse
into wildness. Agriculture, in brief. Is dying
out. Nor will II do TO say II is not worth saving
1t is true, England does not and canno, now
grow enough wheat to feed her people But she
can, and does even yet. grow enough to be n
very considerable item in the bill Of national
food supply. Certainly 1t will be we'll worth
while for the Government 10 consider the q,ics-
ton Of agricultural relief most seriously. II
any statesman can devise Il workable scheme
for restoring prosperity TO rural England, he
