JUsT ROT!

| The silly season has opened with unu'-
ual vigor with a report from Paris via
| LONDON that Spain and Japan contem-
plate an alliance offensive and defensive,
particularly the former against the
United States.
| According TO this slliest Of silly talk. IL
the United States actively interferes In
Cuban affairs or persists in the anncxa'
| tion of the Hawaiian Islands, Japan and
Spain will simultaneously declare war
upon us.
Spain might be glad 90 make such an
alliance. But Japan has too much sense.
The England Of the East is "A progressive
and progressing country. She isn't
seeking alliances with any old worn out
European monarchy. spain would be of
no use TO Japan. Japan might be of con-
siderable use TO Spain and alliances
aren Z made under such circumstances.
Japan has declared that she has no idea
OF annexing the Hawaiian Islands. Her
protests are only aimed TO preserve her
rights there She is doubtless sincere in
her statement, though it is 90 he believed
that, il the United States did not annex
the Islands, Japan would promptly enter
into competition for their possession with
any other country that might put in a
claim.
Hawaii is to Le annexed to the United
States. That is settled. There will be
no going TO war about it, AS for Cuba,
apparently the Cuban question is settling
itself aud Spain will have To let go with.
out any active Interference from my other
power.
The report hasn't leg to stand oil.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Journal finds that the administra-
tion OF New York city under the reform
government of Mayor Strong has proved
u remarkable success and evidently seeks
10 point a comparison fayorabe To Proyi-
del c. which we are reminded is also
under a so-called reform Mayor.
Bat this won't do at all.
Tho reform government of New York IL
Republican government
That of Providence Democratic gov
ernment.
Tho former reform displaced the Demo
cratic party, while the latter displaced n
Republican city government. When
good government" also means Repub-
lican government it Is pretty likely to
mean what IL says and to prove commend
able. But we believe the first important
instance Is TO be recorded of the dis
placing of an administration of the Re-
publican party by Democracy, under
whatever guise or mask, where the result
has been at all satisfactory or has in any
way justified the change except TO tho
purbliud sense Of tho non-partisan. who
can soc nothing but his-oW dreamings
and hear nothing but his own pulings.
