Ware Manufacturers Association, an or

teries in the United States, except one, has
dissolved. The organization was formed in

past there has been all sorts of charges
and counter-charges that the different MEM

Trenton potters' syndicate openly making
a cut of 3S 13 per cent. expecting to force
the other manufacturers to sue for peace.
The war was kept up until there had been
made a total reduet on of 571a per cent. In

Don auixotc Gresham.
Baltimore American.

Secretary Gresham is at his old tricks.
No amount of experience appears to dull his
ardor for untinely interference in the af-
fairs of other countries. Hawaii, Japan,
Turkey and Samoa have in turn been the
victims of this modern Don Quixote's fiery
zeal, and now the people of Mexico are
the Secretary with what grace he can mus
ter. g = . The MexicanS believe implicit
ly that they are in the right concerning
the Guatemalan boundary, and the facts,
as well as previous admissions of the
Guatemalan government, seem to bear out
their contentious. They are not very anx-
ious for war, but they are very tired of
the persistent nagging CT the Guatemalans
government, and believe that a show of
force will compel the G~uatemalans to
abandon their preposterous claim and
settle the dispute. This seems to be the
opinion of outsiders as well, and il is a
misfortune that Secretary Gresham has
been unable to control his chronic weakness
for interfering himself into foreign contro-
vers,es at the wrong moment and in the
wrong way.
