OF NATIONS
NoG0vernmcnt Free to Dc Exactly 40
1t PleasNs.

No'G0vernmcnt Free to Do Exactly AZ
1t Please.
avery nation prides itself on its In
dependence. 1t maintains armies and
fleets to protect itself against inter-
ference. 1t resents everything in the
least suggesting disrespect for its
rights. Yet national independence
moves within extremely narrow limits.
Even Of the strongest nations 1t can.
not be said that they are at liberty to
do exactly what they would.
When the war between China and
Japan ended, why was not Japan free
to exact what terms she chose from
her conquered enemy? 1t was because
Russia, France and Germany conclud-
ed that 1t would not do to have Japan
too strong; and they compelled a mod
Grafton Of the Japanese demands in
material particulars.
Cuba belongs to Spain. Why may
not Spain govern her W as she
p~leases? Why is 1t the business of the
United States to make suggestions or
to volunteer mediation? 1t is because
we cannot afford to have SO turbulent
a neighbor, and because our %pecuniary
and commercial interests are adversely
affected by the continuance of the war
on the island.
The claim Of the great powers Of
Europe to regulate the government Of
Turkey rests on a similar basis. Mis-.
government and massacre in Turkey
injure the interests and threaten the
peace Of Europe. Ii so lawless and
cruel a neighbor will not behave her
self, she must be made to behave. That
Is whatthe threat of concerted coercion
mean
But it is not the weaker nations only
that have to moderate their policy be-
cause Of the interests or prejudices Of
other nations. England would like un-
disputed possession OF Egypt; but she
has to respect the ~jealousies Of France,
and SO declares that her occupation Of
Egypt is but temporary. When she
started her expedition into the Sudan,

country the section is peculiarly adapt
ed for the development Of new ideas,
and to this may, perhaps, be attribe
uted the existence of a girls club,
whose ritual, bylaws, rules and reg
nlations are refreshingly breezy.
Not all of the ceremonies have been
committed to paper and information
regarding some of them Is only to be
gained as 1t Is given out piecemeal by
the young ladies to bosom friends,
whose assistance they desire In keep
ing secrets, but the st. Louis Republic
has obtained enough information to en-
able 1t to give something OF the initia-
tory ceremonies, together with some
interesting illustrations.
Members are Initiated in a style
which. according to all accounts, puts
Masons, Odd Fellows and such old
fogy organizations to the blush. Dur
ing the initiation Of new members the
room Is dimly lighted by wax tapers,

The Chilians, the yankees of South
America" are moving in the matter of
railways, and the Gillian government
Is considering an offer from a German
syndicate Of 81 ,OOO. 900 at Az per cent.
to be expended In building lines. The
offer Is a stroke Of enterprise not mere
" as an investment, but because Of
the fOothOfd 1t will give Germany in
South American Industries. In a
mountainous country like Chilli $335,OOO,-
600 will not build many miles of road,
especially since the first effort will
probably be to scale the Andes and es-
tablish communication with the Allan
tic States. but 1t will build SO much
that more must be had in order to make
the first available. In the end, it is
most probable the sum will amount to
$1OO,OOO.OO0, OF more, besides which
many other millions will have to be In
vested In equipment, and Germany
will be in a favorable position to fur
nish all that Is required. If properly
conducted the movement will he profit
able to both Germany and Chill, and
though the United States may regret
to e such an alliance between a
South American State and a foreign
nation the United States will have
nothing to say in c~Ontravention Of IT..
The Monroe doctrine does not cover
such a case.

d0rses the opinion. There are already
signs OF the coming trouble. Germany
Is watching British progress in Africa
with a jealous eve and only wants a
pretext to interfere in order to stop
that progress. The French are contin-
ually e~ncr0aching on the sphere of Brit
ish influence, and though the French
Government disOwns the acts of over
