Our Rejoinder to Japan.

While the text of Secretary SHERMAN's
reply to the last note from Japan has not
yet been made public, there is reason to
believe that one of its purposes Is that of
assuring the Toxic Government of our
friendly disposition, while removing it's
fears that Japanese interests will be seri.
ously impaired by our annexation of Hawaii.
At the same time it leaves no doubt in the
mind Of Japan that annexation Is regarded
by our Government as it's right. and that it
will proceed in it's purpose of bringing the
islands into our Union.
The courteous and conciliatory tone of
this reply will probably have a favora-
BILE influence upon Japan, and there is no
doubt at all that a union of good will and
firmness on our part il wise and timely.
Japan Is sensitive, perhaps abnormally so,
on the point of being treated with the most
scrupulous diplomatic etiquette. She has
just entered into the circle of the powers of
high rank, whose influence upon the con.
duct of the worlds affairs must be taken
into consideration. She notices everything
that might be construed as undertaking her
influence or the expediency of being on good
terms with her.
men our treaty LOT tne annexation OF
Hawaii was announced, the protest OF Japan
struck us as somewhat extraordinary, par
ticularly since England, France, Germany,
and other great powers having valuable
possessions in the Pacific presented no objec-
tons thereto. There was nothing whatever
in the language of the treaty rejecting
upon Japan or threatening her interests.
OF course the real difficulty was that
Japan depended on her treaties with
Hawaii for the continuance of GER
tain privileges hitherto accorded to
her subjects in the islands. and these
treaties would necessarily lapse by the ex-
tinction of Hawaiian independence and
sovereignty. But it seemed so peculiar to
our Government that it should be asked to
refrain, on that account, from pursuing its
own interests, which are clearly in the
direction of annexation, that it's first answer
to Japan may nave been a little short and
abrupt. Such adegree of altruism as Japan
asked of us is not, in fact, familiar in inter
national affairs.
! But with our position once clearly stated,

Not tho American Way.

A story is set afloat by a Berlin CORE.
spondent of the London Graphic 70 the
effect that Gen. WooDFoRD has been In.
structed to ascertain the limit OF neutral
fly of the European powers In case the
United States should adopt an aggressive
policy toward Spain. The story 10 enriched
with the assertion that Gen. WooDToRD
has tried to do this through our Ambassa-
doris to Great Britain, Germany, and
France, and that Col. HAY received no en-.
enlargement from Lord SALISBURY. while
Gen. PoRTER met q refusal from NJ. HANG.
TAUx to discuss the subject, and Mr..
WHITE discreetly refrained from trying his
luck with the Berlin Government.
The improbability Of this yarn is doubt
less much more apparent to Americans
thar to Europeans. 1t is not our custom to
sound the Governments Of the Old World
as to what their attitude would be upon our
policy respecting affairs on thiss side Of the
ocean. The Cuban question is essentially,
so far as we are connected with 1t, an
American question. We shall deal with
Madrid respecting il, but we shall not con-
suit London or Berlin or Paris, or put to
them questions as to their attitude in GER
tain hypothetical cases.
The Grdphic's story shows amazing ig-
norance of American methods.

The Why and Wherefore.

A little catechism will suffice to show
where the Citizens Union Is at, and why.
Why did the Citizens Union choose as
its candidate a man of Republican affilia-
tions, Mr.. SETH Low?
Because last year its members themselves
were generally affiliated with the Republi-
cans; because it knew that it would have to
look mainly to Republican voters to elect
its candidate; and because the Brookfield.
Swayne Republican faction was ready to
help in beating the regular machine. The
Citizens Union had no such apparent ad.
vantages for dealing with Tammany Hall.
and, moreover, it was ashamed to deal
with Tammany directly.
Why is the Citizens Union now so bitter
against the Republican organization and
against Senator PLAT that of it's three
supporters in New York, namely, the dis.
reputable World, the Times and the Eren-
ing Post, the two latter say that there shall
be a Tammany Mayor rather than n Repub-
lican Mayori
Because the Republican party happened
to he the one the Citizens Union asked to
surrender. and the one to refuse.
The Citizens Unions anti Republicanism
is the nartisanship of spite.

Jack Tar's Junketings.

The parade Of the landing party from the
North Atlantic Squadron in Portland is
now over, and only one moro holiday show
is in order on the present cruise, namely,
the one at Bar Harbor. 1t has been said
that the Navy Department was at first in,
clincd to refuse the petition of the famous
ain watering place for a visit from the
feet. Blu Bar Harbor counts for 30 much
in an annual naval show that the depart
ment consented to it.
A good part of the summer Is gone, and
other countries have finished their seasons
maneuvres, but there is plenty of time yet
for exercising Admiral SIcARD's squadron.
The drills and e~volutions will no doubt be
carried on when the ships leave the Maine
coast for Hampton Roads. If the rule OF
business before pleasure has been reversed
in this case, there is still opportunity for
the serious business Of the season. Com
modore BUNcE showed how much can he

Happily such a party lie now the dominant
political organization in the Union, and Its
predominance at last years election affords
promise that It will be put in power and
on guard over these tremendous interests.

The Republican party will represent law,

commercial stability. Tho choice Of the

them to Europe. The day will come. though men Of

A correspondent, evidently not a citizen
of this side of the water, rebukes THE Sun
for saying that Canada flies a foreign flag,
that of England, in a manner that amounts
to conclusive proof that THE So is right.
England is not a foreign nation to Cana
dians," says this observer; "they call it
home" So even in our correspondents
mind, as in the mind of THE Sun, the Cana
dians are away from home. They are a peo.
pie without a country. Their allegiance is
to a country across the ocean. Love for
their own land of the sort that men call
patriotism they haven't got.
And how can they have it until their
country is their own, until they hold it in
fee instead of being tenants dominated
by a transatlantic lord?
