ARGENTINA THREATENS RE-
TALIATION.

Sometimes people build better than
they know; this is not often Far
oftener they make a mess of matters
Those who built the tariff bin have
not builded better than they knew
Aside from the mess made by section
q. the high duties imposed on foreign
products have induced much talk of re-
taliation by several countries. Che lat
est country to talk it is Argentina
In his message 80 the Argentina con-
gress President Urbuyean advocates
retaliation against the United States
by increasing the duties on those artf-
cles imported from this country. In
his message the president specifies
particularly as articles on which the
duties should De largely increased pc
troleum, timber, ploughs, plougfshares
and all agricultural implements and
machinery which are imported largely
frxrn the United States. Higher duties,
the president says, should be imposed
because of the recent difficulties which
the Dingley tariff has thrown in the
way of expectation from his country
to the United States.
If the revival of prosperity should
result in the production of great sur
plus of manufactured articles as well
as natural products they must hud a
foreign market, but if the foreign mar
kets into which we have gained en-
trance are closed by a policy of re-
tatiation, what will be done with the
! surplus2 Retaliation has a harsh, dis
agreeable sound, for it is harsh, dis
! agreeable thing, yet what is it? It is
| nothing but the adoption of the Amer
lean policy of protection towards the
United States by other countries. II
it is a good thing for the United States
| to place on the goods and products Of
Argentina that come TO this country
tariff SO heavy that it is practically
/ prohibitiye, it must be a good thing
for Argentina to place exactly the
same kind of a tariff on the goods ard
products Of the United States THAT 60
| to that country.
If retaliation is bad. and it is. it
should be remembered that it is the di-
rect outgrowth of protection. It is APP
plying to the commerce of one nation
with another the old theory Of an eye
for an eye, a tooth for tooth. After
! all, the world doesn't progress so rap
! idly as it boasts that it does.

A DIVINE RIGHT RULER.

It is doubtful if any ruler was ever
more strongly lrnpr egnated with the
doctrine that kings rule by divine right
than Is Emperor William of Germany
He looks uron the German people as
belonging body and soul to him. He
does nl-'- rtznrd them as having ANY
constitutional or ether rights. but only
such privileges as he may choose TO
grant thrsrn, to be Withdrawn at his
pleasure HIS Inherited belief in the
divine right of kings is strengthened
by his military education and the mil
itary institutions of his country. All Is
subordirated to the army, and when a
naturally dsepotlc nsn tas at his hach
a perfectly drilled and disciplined army
Of half a million gig fine soldiers as the
world ever cav, it discs not take very
much 10 make him Lr-ini1 that ne does
reign by some right superior 90 the viii
and wishes of the people. 1t is foolish
habt. to say what Will or will MT be.
but it seems as though Emperor Will
liam would be the last ruler to be SO
thoroughly iqilbued With the divine
Iigela of kings theory as he is The ten
deney CT All civilization is against 1t.
and men today understand the true
source Of power better than they ever
did before; and even rulers understand
it. There is not a government III
Europe, save Russla's, THAT does not
nave some constitutional forms. which
does not guarantee some rights to some
portion of the people. All this is an
acknowledgement Of the limitation OF
the divine right of kings. William does
not seem to realize this. but as he al
vamces in years he will. The various
parties in Germany that are constantly
opposing tale emperor and his pTeten-
ssons are fighting for liberty and Thf
rights of mankind; and they are fight
ing gallantly Germany is gradually
being impregnated with ideas that VII

tlonaa kind. such as England has.

STOP THE KLoND1KE RUSH.

When it is known THAT a man OF

Why could not some such arrange

IDAHo,s INVALID LAWS.

A Herald dispatch from Moscow,
Ida, says that the mayor of that town
announces he will vigorously prosecute
persons conducting games, notwith-
standing the decision of the district
court that the anti-gambling law is
unconstitutional. Already he has had
several gambling houses raided ana
intends to keep it up. The mayor must
be conceded to be public spirited and
pushing. whatever else he may be.
Idaho's laws seem to be in very
chaotic state and it is probable that
many of them are invalid, as they were
not passed in strict accordance with
the constitution as interpreted by the
state supreme court.
Being in the condition they are it
is rather surprising that Governor
Stuenenberg has not called the legis-
Iature together in extra session to
remedy matters so far as possible. If
something of the kind is not done,
things will go from bad to worse very
rapidly, and for the people of the state
to permit this will be for them to bring
reproach upon themselves. The con-
dition of affairs in Idaho is extremely
unfortunate, but it is worse than useless
to cry over spilled milk.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
Let those who are disposed to laugh
at the 16 to ! or bust men try to
figure out what ratio those people
could adopt if they drop this proper
ton. The moment they abandon this
anchorage they are at sea without
compass or rudder. Some would want
to adopt the 20 to 1 ratio which Sen
ator Vest proposed in 1893, others
would advocate the 30 to 1 which
Japan accepted, still others would sug-
gest a drop to 40 to l, which is ap-
proximately the market proportion,
while others yet would variously want
to tie their party to everything between
these two extremes. If this divinely
fixed proportion of 16 to 1 which was
decreed by providence at the begin
ming of things he given up nothing
can prevent the further sacrilege of
having silver quoted by the pound in
stead of the ounce on the exchanges
Let them laugh right along, it hurts
nobody and may DO them good; let
them laugh while they may for tomor-
row they may die. Though they may
! die yet viii not the silver cause 1t

The gay people of France are still
rejoicing over the announcement of the
Franco-Russian alliance, though they
do not know just what it's terms are.
Their rejoicing shows they assume
that Russia is as anxious to redress
Frances grievances towards Germany
as the French themselves are. No as
Russia is not, What the nature of the
alliance is is only known to the cars
government and that of France. It is
hardly probable that 1t is any stronger
or closer than the triple alliance But
the French people are exceedingly
happy over it; and for the present no
one cares to mar their happiness.
