A Vigorous Foreign Policy.

About the only vigorous foreign policy
the United States have had in a quarter
Of a century is that Of the present ad-
ministration- The republicans are always
talking OF a vigorous foreign policy. The
inference from what their organs and lead
ers say is that their party alone has been
the defender OF American interests abroad.
But what single instance is there that
there was any vigor in our foreign policy
when the Republican party was in power2
For years and years the Mora claim
against Spain was allowed to drag along.
while one republican administration after
another came and went. The last con-
gress, however. which was a democratic
one, authorized the collection of the claim
without unnecessary delay, and the Cleve-
land administration will have collected it
by the middle Of next month. Spain was
told that she must pay the amount due on
that claim at an early day, and she I'M
derstood that she had reached a point
where she must pay or take the conse-
quences.
And the Waller affair is being looked
into in way that warns France that the
United States are in no mood to accept
excuses for what now appears to have
been an outrage upon an American citizen.
If Waller was fairly convicted he will have
to take his punishment, but if he was
not reparation will have to be made. or
else the friendship between the United
States and France will be abruptly termi-
mated.
Ambassador Eustis, our representative
in France. has shown a disposition TO let
the Waller case drag along until it was
finally forgotten. The administration
won't have it that way. The case must
be settled promptly. and if Ambassador
Eustis doesn't like the peremptory man.
ner the administration has adopted in deal
ing with foreign governments, which have
not granted proper protection to Ameri-
can citizens within their respective juris-
dictions, he viii he informed that his res
ignation viii be acceptable.
The complaints of American mission
aries in China are also receiving every
possible attention. and China will have
to make reparation for the indignities Of
fered to our missionaries in Kucheng and
Foo Chow. Our minister to China is not
showing the earnestness in investigating
these indignities that the administration
would like, and unless he comes nearer
giving satisfaction he may be a states
man without a job.
In foreign matters the Cleveland ad-
ministration is making record that has
the approval of the people. Under it's di-
rection the United States are neither ag-
gressive nor overbearing, but they are
firm in demanding their rights from other
nations and in protecting the interests of
their citizens in other lands.

in Germany were unwilling to give back
Belfort. NJ. de Goutaut notified NJ. THEIRS

Temporary Death.

A California man says he has discovered
one of natures most profound secrets,
hitherto supposed to be known only to
alligators; woodchucks, black bears and a
few other animals. 1t is pretty generally
known that in the fall of the year the
alligator crawls into his cave and for
three or four months is as good as dead.
The woodchuck and the black bear pass the
winter in a similar manner. The Califor-
man says he has learned how they do it,
and he is going to demonstrate his knowl-
edge by dying temporarily himself. He
will be put into coffin, which win be then
Theoretically sealed and buried six feet
in the earth. That would be as much as
is usually done with the man who is ex-
pected to remain dead. The Californian.
however, expects TO be resurrected and
resuscitated at the end of ten days. There
will be no trouble about digging him up
and unsealing his Theoretically sealed cof-
nm with can opener. but the resuscita-
ton part of it is question.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the Cal
ifornian will be eminently successful, and
that his theory and his system will be
demonstrated beyond the possibility of a
doubt There is a long felt want for
temporary death. Lots and scores of peo-
pie could use it in their business. 1t would
be a boon to politicians. When a Griffin
convention doomed upon the horizon, in
stead of having business engagements in
Europe. the purturbed political spirits
could merely retire to the grave, with an
alarm clock set month or two ahead
and sleep sweetly and peacefully while
the storm of public opinion ragged above.
Travelling expenses would be saved, and
the politician would run no risk whatever,
of meeting up with newspaper reporters
liable at any moment to pump from him
dangerous opinion. Nobody would be so
sacrligious as to stop the temporary
corpse on the way to interment and ask,
"are YOU running away from the conven-
tion?"
There are many other people who would
probably like TO possess the formula
for temporary death. There are the i'm
pecunious debtor, the man with the moth
er-in-law. the lazy man waiting for the
millennium, the hopeful free silverite etc,
all of whom no doubt experience periods
when they feel that it would be well in
they could retire from the world until
things got better. But there is an impend-
ing danger that if the California man
succeeds In his undertaking. he viii
straightway join the Republican party and
induce that party 10 place such high pro-
lection upon his scheme that none ex-
cept politicians with a pull. milionalres
and monopolists may enjoy the benefits

A Noted Finnncier

The current number of Harper's Weekly
contains an interesting sketch of a man
who has achieved great prominence in
the financial world, and who is attract
ing the attention of the whole country be-
CAUSE of his connection with national
finances, and of the south because of his
efforts to reorganize railroad systems that
cover so large a portion of the southern
states. The financier in question is John
Pierpont Morgan.
Mr. Morgan is a New Highlander by birth
and is IS years Of age. He is the head of
the house of John p. Morgan & Co. of
New York. In the world of finance he
stands next to the Rothschilds He started
the banking house of which he is the head
when he was a very young man, and he
has made il what it is. Its business is
not confined to New York. 1t is a great
institution in Philadelphia. London and
Paris, in each of which cities it main
tains a superb banking house.
Mr.. Morgan has the reputation of being
a builder not destroyer. The author of
the article in Harpers. speaking of his
early aims and purposes. says: "Then. as
now, two great opposite ways invited a
capitalist banker to enormous fortune and
enormous power. The first. the wayof Jay
Gould, was by wrecking and footing great
properties. The second, which Morgan
chose. was to follow the wrecker wrest
from him as much of his spoils as posi-
BILE. restore the wreck. lift it from the
shoals and rocks and set it in prosper
Gus way again"
Mr.. Morgan has rescued and recognized
many great railroad properties. If he had
not taken hold of the Richmond Terminal
system there would not now, in all prob
ability. be Southern railway" and the
securities of the Richmond Terminal
would have become practically worthless.
HE gathered up the fragments and has
welded them into what will eventually
be a magnificent property
Two efforts were made to reorganize
the Central railroad system before J. p
Morgan & Co. undertook the work. When
it became known that that house had
taken charge of the matter there was a
feeling thar reorganization would not be
long delayed. Before the end of this year
the Central railroad system. will again
be on a sound financial basis.
The whole country lis aware of Mr.
Morgans' recent achievement in national
finances. He is snow endeavoring to pre-
vent the gold reserve from falling below
$lO0,0O0,OOO. The utmost confidence is felt
in his ability to accomplish that object
lit was the restoration OF this reserve by
the gold furnished by Mr.. Morgan and his
associates that marks the beginning of
the present business and Industrial pros
perity.
In this part Of the south Mr.. Morgan
must continue to be an interesting char
acter for a number Of years-at least so
long as the house of which he is the head
mas control Of the railroad and steamship
companies which do large part of the
transportation business OF half dozen
southern states.

1t appears from the information contain
ed in our Washington dispatches yester-
day with regard to the Savannah public
building, that certain of the bids for the

rect. the supersrueture certainly should
be Of marble; Of Georgia marble. Com
PARSONS are odious, 1T is true; neverthe-
less, 1t is as well TO observe that savan-
nah is just assworthy Of fine public build

a magnificent marble custom house with
great granite pier, and a splendid mar
bic and granite postonice and court house.

the amount of capital already invest
