Bishop Doane of Albany took occasion the
ether day to lecture the American people
for what he terms their intolerant hatred
of England and Englishmen- He was at
the time talking to his diocese, but his re-
marks had a national application, and he
!ashed his counsrymen most severely. He
denounced their '.jingoism' and painted
the English people as being shocked and
amazed at the bitterness of American dis
like for them. With all the respect due to
a clergyman and bishop it Is neverthe-
less in order to suggest that Bishop Doane
has not been recently reading the English
newspapers. and that he has not kept in
full touch with the American and British
temperaments. especially in relation to
each other. Casual observers have been
led to the opinion of late that the balance
of bad feeling between the two nations lies
with England Certainly during the past
two years there has been a steady flow of
iLtolerant, Incorporate language from the
British press that has exceeded anything
that has ever emanated from American
public sources in times of peace. The Lon
don comments on the Venezuelan affair
on the arbitrary treaty. on the sealing con-
trCversy and the Canadian reciprocity
propositions have been only too evidently
inspired by feeling of thorough dislike
for everything American. The comments
on our institutions have been based upon
gross ignorance of the subjects, and have
expressed every shade of ill-feeling, from
scorn to vindictive hatred. Nor has this
feeling been confined to the last few years
but has continued practically since the loss
OF the colonies by England. 1t was height
ened by the sentiments entertained by that
country for the south in the sixties. Who
ever may DE to blame for the initiative in
this unfortunate spirit of international dis
Nke-so far as it may exist today-no critic
can successful charge the Americans with
carrying their animosities toward the en-
tire British nation into their individual re-
lationships. Distinguished Britons have
have ever been received here with every
expression of hospitality. In some cases
as much cannot be said of Americans in
England Bishop Doane is probably sin
cere in his expressions of grief over th, at
utuGe OF his countrymen that ne has con-
1ured up in his mind. but he gives evidence
OF lacking full acquaintance with all the
circumstances and with some of tine most
marked traits of the British character
Such outoursts as his will not tend to
close the breach that he imagines to exist
between the two peoples.

A Fatal Combination.

A death occurred Tuesday evening in Phil
adelphia in such awkward proximity to an
electric current that the theory Of natural
causes that has done service SO often
and SO streDuousy is put to most severe
test A citizen who had hoisted his UNI
brella to protect himself from the rain
stopped before a show window to look at
the displayed goods. when the tip of his
metal umbrella rod touched the wires of an
electric light hanging Immediately In front
of the window. six feet and a half above
the sidewalk. In less than two minutes
the man was dead. No statement has thus
far been offered by the company operating
the electric light circuit, no suggestion of
low voltage has been advanced, and no
intimation has been put forth that the VIC
tim Of this remarkable accident was q suf-
ferer from a complication Of deadly dis
eases. Perhaps such insinuatlons win be
made In time and meanwhile PhIladelphia

The LauPier Visit.

The country can afford to be a little pa
tient in the matter of the pending negotia-
lions with Canada. The business is compli
Gated, but the case of the United
States is IN safe and competent hands.
Both parties are better informed today
than ever before about the matters which
Divide them Not only friendly but
lasting settlement is sought. The Canadian
visitors have returned home with full
knowledge of what is expected of their
government in the premises. and at an
carly day. it is understood, will make reply.
Until then it will be well to discount what
ever of n distorted or bellicose nature may
be put out either by the opponents of Sir
Wilfrid Laurier in Canada, or by the op-
ponents of the Mckinley administration in
the United States.
A subject brought prominently to the
front by these negotiations is that of COM
mercial reciprocity between Canada and
the United States. Both countries are in
terested in it. and Canada particularly so.
The markets of the United States are in
every way tempting to her-are, in fact,
necessary to her full development and pros
perity. OF course, she cannot expect, and
need not try. to enter our markets to the
prejudice of our own people In our eco
nomic policy protection comes first, and
then reciprocity. But wherever reciprocity
can be made to supplement protection for
the advancement of the interests of the
United States it is the policy of the party
now in power to apply it. Canada, there
fore. being our next-door neighbor on the
Forth. is justified in asking consideration
of her desire for a closer commercial broth
erhood with u.s.
Consideration of such negotiations need
not be affected by the fact that Canada is
a province of Great Britain. She is loyal to
the mother country, but not a slave, as
Cuba has been held by Spain. 1t is ques-
ton, indeed. whether the development of
a republican form of government for that
country. Annexation to the United States
Is even suggested as something probable
in connection with Canada's growth. But
whether as British province. or as proba BILE
Independent government, or as possible
mands our interest and attention; and if
in any negotiations she gets the better of
it will be our own fault.
But the probabilities all are that we shall
prove equal to the task of taking care of
ourselves Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Wis
iting colleagues have been met in frank
and friendly spirit, but no part Of the case
Of the United States in any of it's features,
whether with respect to the seals or what

guess that they will bend their energies be-
tween now and 1900 toward securing
solid delegation Of Plat men to the next
republican national convention.
John R. Mclean. though defeated In his
desire to succeed Mr.. Hanna In the Senate,
remains master Of the machine power of
his party in Ohio. His friends are in abb
solute control. Mr.. Mclean figured promi-
nently in last years democratic national
convention. and most likely will figure as
prominently IN the next. His name has
been suggested for second place on a
ticket with Mr.. Bryan Controlling. as he
will. his own state delegation, his voice IN
the convention proceedings in 1900 may
show considerable carrying power.
The Gorman-Rasin rule In Maryland has
for the third time been condemned. Mr..
Rasin Is out of office, and Mr.. German in
less than two years will follow him. But
the democratic machine is theirs, and 1t
will be manipulated by them in the future
as In the past. They have no idea of re-
firing from business. Neither could con-
tent himself for very long out of politics.
Mr.. German, indeed, is already being COM
forted in his defeat by little suggestions
thrown out in southern newspapers that he
must keep himself in readiness for CALI
even to higher things; that the party can
not spare him, but has him on its eligible
list for future honors. This of course will
result in the play for German delegation
from Maryland to the next democratic ma
tional convention. with Mr.. German him
self as its leader and spokesman. And
with the machinery of the party all in his
hands, and Mr.. Rasin still acting as his
lieutenant. what g to prevent him from
eo wv oI I~r-
and obey his orders?
The fight against machines when thor
oughly successful, Is not for day or for a
year, but for all the time necessary for
their eradication. Once men of the ma
chine habit and capacity establish them
selves, they are not easily dislodged.
Driven from one place, they take refuge IN
another, holding on as long as possible to
every semblance of power and authority.
and essaying the role of the martyr when
that of the hero is no longer open to them.

We Should Build Our own ships.


From the Philadelphia Record.
The Boston Fruit Company has con-
tracted with the Cramp Shipbuilding Com
pany for the construction of four steel
screw steamers of capacity of $500 to
ZOO tons to be used in the West India
trade. They will replace foreign-built
steamers and will be fitted to carry both
passengers and freight.
Doubtless If the Boston Fruit Company
could have made more money by con-
tinuing to do business with vessels sail
Ing under foreign flag. or il it could
Rave had vessels built cheaper in foreign
sLipyards than IN our own. 1t would not
have made this contract with the Cramps.
All the material necessary for the build
ing OF steel steamship is now made in
the United States as eheaply as elsewhere.
The greater efficiency of our labor and ma
chinery makes the work of construction
as cheap here as elsewhere. Why should
we MT build our own vessels? Why should
we not reach out for the control of our
own ocean-carrying trade and the recoy-
cry of our place among the first maritime
nations by virtue of our indisputab.e adj
vantages?

4 Dismal Prediction,

The attempt on the part of the United
States government to rescue whaling ships
caught in Boring sea by means of revenue
cutters will prove to be failure The
very conditions which prevent these YES
sells from escaping will prevent a revenue
cutter from being Of any service. Capt.
Tuttle OF the revenue cutter Bear clearly
points out the futility Of such an effort as
indeed he does Its absurdity. Capt. TuttIe
shows that there are ample provisions at
Point Barrow and Refuge Station, as well
as at Herschell Island, to supply all de-
mands during the coming winter.
