England and Japan are at last, as eX-
pected, in practical alliance to oppose
Russian aggression in the far east. 1t is
vital for both these countries that Rus
STA, end France and Germany, whose
interests in the east are at present like
those of Russia, shall make no further
seizures of Chinese territory. With
European posts here and there on the
Chinese coasts, and with Chinese islands
in the hands of alien powers, Japan
would be compelled to be ever on her
guard; and in case of war would be
placed at much greater disadvantage
than at present. AT the same time Eng
lands commercial interests at Hong
Kong and Shanghai would be subjected
to injurious competition
The Anglo-Japanese understanding is
clearly only very effective means of
preserving the diplomatic status quo. 1t
is merely defensive, with regard to
China's interests. AS such it will meet
with the appreciation of all in this coun-
try who do not wish to see China fur
thcr molested by foreign nations, and
our interests prejudiced. Incidentally
England will secure the Chinese loan,
part Of which will be devoted to paying
the indemnity incurred during the re-
cent war, to Japan.

The Lake Mohonk Indian conference,
surveying the fifteen years of its ex-
istence and labors, finds much cause for
hopefulness. The education of the In
dams has been Systematically undertake
en- by the government, and the appro-
priations for this purpose have in
creased 130-fold. The system has been
for the most part freed from connection
with religious bodies and made more
efficient and more practical. Civil serv-
ice reform has been extended to nearly
all subordinate officials who have to do
with the Indians, and fraud in the
purchase of Indian supplies it is said,
is largely a thing of the past Wise
legislation has secured to the Indian his
land in severalty, protected him from
injustice, and at the same time pre-
served order, Meanwhile the religious
bodies have enlarged their missionary
enterprises and notable advance has
been made in protecting the Indians
from the evil effects of the LIQUOR traffic,
Indian wars seem to have ceased de-
spite sporadic outbursts of so-called
religious excitement. The government
commission appointed to treat with the
Indians of Indian territory has been a
success, it is asserted, and the effort to
erect a territorial form of government
therein should bring about gratifying
results. The conference demands a
more rigid enforcement of the civil sery-
ice laws in Indian affairs, and, in view
of the success of the lands in severalty
scheme, suggests the abolition of some
of the agencies. This would save ex-
pense and conduce to the independence
of the Indians. The distribution of ra-
tons is also discouraged, and its speedy
discontinuance is urged upon moral and
economic grounds. Industrial education
is, of course, helpful to the Indians, but
steps should be taken to find a market
for their products. The appropriation
of public moneys for Indian schools CON
trolled by religious bodies should cease
wholly and at once. This reform the
government is effecting gradually. The
publication of the proceedings of the
last Mohonk conference, now before us.
contains much Of interest in regard to
the present condition of the wards of
the nation, and more that is suggestive
for the Improvement of that condition

sympathy with Gov. Lowndes and Sena-
tor Wellington, and favor McComas, the
sixth district senatorial candidate.
From this distance 1t looks as though
it will be a misfortune If Judge Nc
Comas is defeated in Maryland. What
ever the merits of Major Shaw may be,
his election through an understanding
with the German democrats would be a
bad thing since such an understanding
means likewise the success of Senator
German.
The republican divisions in Ohio are
not sectional, and the national questions
of monetary standard govern them
quite as much as the personalities of the
senatorial candidates.

Senator Teller protests altogether too
much. He appears to be never weary of
rehearsing his dramatic act in the re-
publican national convention, which
nominated Mckinley. In fact he ap-
pears to think that the withdrawal of
himself and the silver men from the
convention, la Catiline, Il go, but l
return will go down to coming gene
rations as one of the great acts of
American political history. Accordingly
Mr.. Teller is sometimes tiresome to con-
firmed readers of congressional reports.
This IS unfortunate, for he is an eloquent
speaker. He should find new fields of
thought for his burning words.

that is he opposed TO the republican
party because it is gold standard

party go down in 1900, and that he,

The republican divisions in the Ohio
and Maryland legislatures render the
United States senatorial contests now in
progress in those states somewhat SINH
lar Yet apparently Judge McComas has
not so good a chance of election as Mark
Hanna. But the Maryland situation diff
fers from that of Ohio in that it is above
all else the result of a sectional fight.
1t seems that the Baltimore republican
members of the Legislature want Major
Alexander Shaw for senator, while the
republicans from the sixth congression-
al district are working for McComas.
The disagreement has led to a curious
state Of affairs; for, in spite of the fact
that the sixth district men are support
ed by the Maryland republicans gem
orally outside Baltimore, the Baltimor-
cans have taken the first trick in the
game. This was accomplished in the
lower house of the legislature, where
there was a deadlock, through the will
ingness OF the democrats to aid the Bal
timore boilers. The democrats were the
more ready to do this, in order to re-
venge themselves on the independent
democratic leaders, whose vigorous ac-
ton last fall turned the state over to the

Just4Ihow much the government has
lost through the careless system of
keeping money-order accounts, prac-
tised by the postoffice department under
the last administrations system which
the present auditor, Mr.. Castle, has
changedvwill probably never be known.
Nevertheless the auditor is undertaking
to findout the loss and he will doubtless
discover this approximately in the
course of time, with the aid of a large
force of clerks.
1t appears that several postmasters at
money-order offices took advantage of
The opportunities which the discarded
system of accounts offered for fraud.
The accounts were audited by means of
stubs. A book of orders was furnished
each postmaster. Along the left-hand
side of the blank is column of figures.
If he tore out the blank properly the
figures on the right-hand side of the
STUB would correspond to those on the
left-hand margin of the money order,
and the advice and the account would
the order, and the advice at the 500
mark and the stub at the 81 mark, and
by selling the order for 800 pocket the
$99 difference. Detection was almost i'm
possible, for the reason that the ac-
counts were all audited by means of the
stubs The order in course of time
reached another Office and was paid. 1t
was sent with the advice to the depart
ment as receipt for the disbursement
of the money but they were never com

In checking up the amount of money
received for orders the stubs We're com

postmaster and if the accounts tailed
they were accepted. Thus, IL the post
master, after filling out an order for a
larger amount of money than his stub
showed, should make his account cor

Civil service reform is fortunate, on
the whole, in it's congressional enemies.
One of the most frankly outspoken of
these enemies is Representative Cum
mings of New York, the henchman and
glorifier of Tammany Hall, who boasts
that "snivel service reform" is doomed
and is glad that virtuous and ineorrup-
tible Tammany is an important factor
in that doom. Enemies like Cummings
are less dangerous to the civil service
system than those congressman who
hide their dislike of it under a veneer
of lukewarm praise. But in congress
there are many who are SO outspoken
that they leave no room for doubt that
they are heartily in sympathy with the
spoils idea which they are strenuously
endeavoring to resurrect. Such men up
hold the presidents principles neither in
letter nor spirit; but good government
at least knows them as its enemies.

inspiring to them. 1t was accomplished
only after a bolt of the Williams
men, who organized on their own ac-
count and then Callahan received but
80 votes, or five less than the minimum
announced as sure by George Fred's
exuberant supporters.
Mr.. Williams cause does not appear
to flourish in Massachusetts, as time
goes on. The meeting in Boston Satur-
day is one of the straws which indicate
this. When the Chicago platform demo-
Gratis IN this state can agree no better

the silver and the gold democrats. they
must naturally be deemed a 'disjointed
aggregation.
Mr.. Williams may just as well con-
tinue breathing the rariffed air of the
Rockies. Let him tarry at Denver, in
the heart of the silver mines. Clearly,
he cannot help matters much by hur-
rying back to Boston.
