Has Money ToId Too Muchg

The Herald's Washington correspondent
says that Secretary Olney is highly indig-
nant, because Senator-elect Money made
public through the columns of newspa-
per the alleged verbal message which Gen.
Lee. our consul general at Havana, sent
by him to the state department. An effort
is being made to create the impression that
Gen. Lee never sent TO Mr.. Olney any such
message as that which Mr. Money made
public.
The Morning News published the mes
sage yesterday with some comments. 1t
did seem a little curious that, if such a
message had been entrusted to Mr.. Money,
he should have made it public. There is
no doubt that Mr. Money received such
message. He says he did. and what he
says can be relied upon.
The reason he made it public is perhaps
that he was not cautioned by Gen. Lee
that 1t was a private matter. No doubt
Gen. Lee talked with him freely, because
he is a member of the committee on for
eign affairs.
While Mr.. Money is a man or first-class
ability, he is not distinguished for judg-
tlltlils N1ool men III publiC lllt WOuiu nave
understood. without being cautioned, that
message from the consul general at Ha-
vana to the head of the state department
was not to be given 10 the newspapers.
That Mr.. Money did not so understand it
shows how wholly unfit he would be for
a diplomatic position.
But what will be the consequences to
Gen. Lee of Mr.. Moneys blunder? VIII
the Spanish government demand his re-
call? He mas been placed in a very uncom-
Portable position. 1t cannot be gratifying
to Spain to have it go forth to the world
as the deliberate opinion of the consul
general of the United States at Havana
that Spain cannot put down the insurrec-
ton in Cuba. Spain can hardly feel other
wise than that he is her enemy. Can she
afford to have an enemy at Havana as the
representative Of a friendly government?
The answer to that question may be that
Gen. Lee must lose his official head and
all because Mr.. Money, although having
plenty of ability. lacks judgment.

DIR. R. f. Stone, surgeon general of

cine, surgery, obstetrics and hygiene. The
button is Of gold and the cross is red. DR..
Stone believes the design represents the

Her Ear for Tone.

There was a young woman with a mus
ical ear sitting in corner of the cable
car says the Washington Star. Several
times she looked up with curious surprise
as the conductor rang the bell to register
fares. The bell did not always sound the
same. Sometimes it had a dull, clanking
tone and every now and then 1t came out
sharp and clear, several notes higher in
the scale. She was demure little crea-
ture with blonde frizzes, and she became
so interested in the variations played on
the bell that she quite neglected the pa
per-covered novel which lay in her lap-a
novel which she was evidently not read
ing for the first time, for she had opened
it at random, and when she dropped it to
listen to the bell she never troubled her
self to find the place.
But in the course of time she reached
more interesting portion of the work.
There were things that she evidently de-
sired to remember. for she took a lead
pencil from a small bag and began 10
mark passages here and there.
The old gentleman with white side whis-
kers who sat opposite her hoped that it
was a proper book for young woman to
read, and the angular woman, who was
somewhat fiurried owing to an unsuccess-
full effort to pass an out-of-date soda water
ticket for car fare, was sure that it
wasn't.
She rode almost to the end Of the line.
Just before the car finally stopped she
took out a notebook. The conductor hap
pened to the front of the car and he glanc-
ed at what she wrote. 1t was the number
of his car.
AS she walked toward the railway Office
he opened thed COR that looked out on the
front platform and said to the motorman:
IT'S all up, JIM"
''I told you somebody would notice the
difference in the sound of those two bells.
Somebody was bound to wonder about it
and discover that you weren't ringing up
all the fares in the right place"
The conductors face was very pale and
his mouth was drawn at the corners.
1t was one of the everyday tragedies of
life; poverty, temptation, discovery and
regret that came too late.
The girl with blonde frizzes was a Pink
erton detective.

The indications are that the Tampa con-
vention, which meets next week to dis
cuss the Importance of terrifying our
southern coast as soon as possible, will
be as largely attended as it was expected
it would when the call for 1t was issued.
1t is not known, of course. exactly what
action the convention will recommend.
but II is probable that 1t will take a
broad view of the coast defense question,
and, while urging the need of attention
to southern harbors, will favor a large
appropriation for coast defense purposes.
The convention will be composed of rep
resentative men from all parts of the
country, and, therefore, the welfare of
the whole country will be considered. If
a large appropriation for coast defenses
is made, the south will get her full share
of it.
We do not understand that 1t is the
purpose to ask for a special appropriation
for southern coast defenses, but to urge
that in the work of fortifying the coast
that is now going on special attention be
given to our southern coast. because, in
the event of trouble with Spain, southern
coast ports would. in all probability, be
the first attacked by the enemy.
In recent years congress has been fully
as liberal in dealing with the rivers and
harbors of the south as with those of any
other section of the country. 1t is but
reasonable to suppose, therefore, that
the need of the south at this time, in the
matter of coast defenses. will not be over
looked

One of the queer, socialistic ideas of the
new chief justice of Kansas is embodied
in a land bill Winch, it is believed, will
be passed by the Kansas legislature and
signed by the governor. The bill declares
that the rights of the user of land are
paramount to those of the owner; that no
person has a right to own more land than
a homestead if others desire the surplus as
homesteads; that if the tender of reas-
enable sum for such surplus lands is re-
fused by the owner, the prospective pur-
chaser may so into the courts where the
jury will fix the price of the land; upon
payment of the price the court will order
the transfer of the land, and the owner
who refused to sell must pay the costs of
the litigation. Otherwise stated, If an
owner does not wish to sell, the court can
and will make him do it.

The Arbitration Treaty.

There are two reasons which may infiu
ence the Senate to delay action on the
treaty between this country and Great
Britain, for the settlement of their diff
ferences by arbitration. One is that Mr..
Cleveland has a great many enemies in
his own party in the Senate who are de-
termined that he shall get no glory for
any of his acts if they can help it, and the
other is the natural desire of the republi-
cans to get whatever credit for their party
there is likely to come from the adoption
of the treaty. In very few weeks Mr..
Cleveland will be out of office. 1t would
not be surprising, therefore, if action
upon the treaty should be put off on one
pretext and another until after Mr.. Nc
Kinley's inauguration.
That the treaty is a long step in the
right direction there is no doubt. If it
should be ratified there would be very lit
tie danger of war between this country
and Great Britain. The treaty does not
provide for the arbitration of all the diff
ferences that may arise between them,
but it provides for the most of them. and
especially those that are likely to arise. 1t
is the first treaty of arbitration ever nego-
tiated between the United States and a
foreign country and the claim is made
that 1t is the first treaty of the kind ever
negotiated. If it should be successful it
would have a powerful influence in put
ting an end to wars, because other ma
tons would make haste to follow the ex-
ample of this country and Great Britain
No doubt the Senate will find fault with
it, and will make an effort to change it in
some particulars, in all probability, but 1t
is pretty certain that if ratified at all it
will be ratified just about as it was when
sent to the Senate. Mr. Olney and Lord
Salisbury have expended their best efforts
upon it, and 1t would be difficult to get the
British government to agree to any mate
rial changes the Senate might suggest.

International Arbitration at Last.
From the New York Herald Qnd.).

The signing of the international arbi-
tration treaty yesterday by Secretary OIL
ney and Ambassador Pauncefote is an m
ternatonal achievement
1t is a red letter event in the modern
progress of nations in the direction of
more friendly relations, and is another
proof of that prevailing sentiment OF
peace which has happily taken the place
of the old-time war spirit.
Now that the two great Anglo-SaXon ma
tions of the world have set this most pa
triotic and statesmanlike example, It is
to be hoped that France, Germany. Rus
STA and the other countries of Europe will
fall in line for international arbitration.

Is the President helping Spain, as his
political enemies claim? No fair-minded
man believes he is. His sympathies are
with the Cubans. What he is doing now
is simply looking out for the welfare of
this country. The United States are not
ready for war with even so weak a
power as Spain. Therefore the President
IS only doing what the law requires
him to do. He doesn't recognize the Gu
ban republic because public sentiment
would not sustain him in doing so az this
time. Besides, there isn't enough of the
republic visible yet to entitle it to recog-
milton.

GeOrgiR's Antitrust Law.
From the Springfield Republican Qud.).

There has been talk Of tho way the new
antitrust law in Georgia is smashing the
monopollcs. As a matter of fact, It is not
affecting tho monopoles at all, so far as
anybody can see. Some of the trusts have
released the wholesalers In Georgia from
their contracts 10 buy only of the trusts,
but as the latter are m pretty full possess
sion of the field this simply means that
the wholesalers must continue TO buy OF
the trusts and pay trust prices. They
can cut prices in Georgia all they please,
but It will be at the expense of the Geor-
gia dealers and not of the trusts. The
Georgia law is a copy of the Illinois anti
trust law, which has not proved 10 be
more effective than the federal antitrust
law.
