It is just as well that Senator Proctor
told his temperate but graphic story of
the sufferings in Cuba before the New
York Journals senators and representa-
tives had opportunity to air their sen
sationalism. Senator Proctors speech
quite took the edge off Senator Calm
gers fight of jingoism, and the
latter's account fell fiat, despite the up
roar in the galleries. The contrasted
recitals of the two men represented the
difference between dignif1ed statesman
ship and blatant denagogy. Aside from
this, it apparently did not enter the
heads of the visiting committee, that
they in any way compromised their dig
nifty and position as members of con-
gress, by making their tour as guests
and advertising agents OF very yellow
newspaper, or that the connection would
detract from the force of their utter
ances. Comments of the press, how
ever, indicate that it would have been
prudent for them to give some consider
alton to this view of the case.

After the developments in connection
with an ordinance for the leasing of the
city water works, Philadelphia can no
longer point the finger of scorn at
Chicago and her Doodle aldermen. Coun-
Gilman Walker confessed il court that
he had accepted a bribe of $500 for vot-
ing for the ordinance in committee, that
Councilman Smith had accepted a sim
liar offer at the same time, and that a
further offer of $4,000 had been made on
condition Of voting for the ordinance
when it should come up in the council
The tender of money was made by two
other councilmen. Councilman Smith
denied Walkers accusation, but that
does not help matters much, except SO
far as Smith is personally. concerned.
Walkers confession of tis own guilt
remains as a conspicuous example Of
the corruption in municipal politics.

fused to testify unless Mr.. Whitman

ply with. The report of the committee

A parish must needs be happy and
prosperous to be as much alarmed as
All'Saints at the possible removal of it's
pastor. Complete unanimity in large
church is none too common, for the
American temper and habits contribute
to disagreement and make it both natu-
raj and easy. DR.. Vinton's parish, how
ever, has been singularly free from fac
tional feeling, and it has grown in
strength, numbers and efficiency under
his ministration. He possesses the love
and admiration Of his people to an un-
usual degree. 1t is not to be wondered,
therefore, that after fourteen years of
service among them, they should look
toward the possibility of his going as to
an actual bereavement 1t happens,
Also that there are many outside the
parish who would regard his departure
as loss to themselves personally as
well as to the city.

The National Association Of Wool
Manufacturers has thrown down Editor
Frank P. Bennett of the Wool and Cot

port containing the proceedings of the
association has just been made public.
The grounds for summary action were
certain charges made by Mr.. Benefits

manufacturers not named, had been
working together for their own inter
ests, to the detriment Of other manu-

Now that the Austrian reichsrath
meets again, it will be interesting to see
whether it win also get together" The
agreement for the union of Austria and
Hungary has expired, and the political
unity of the empire is maintained only
by the will of Emperor Francis Joseph.
The old man is the mainstay of the
union, for he is beloved and honored by
his subjects. After his death, will 1T be
possible to continue Austria Hungary as
a political entity? If any one of the
various races that go to make up the
nation were compact body, geographi-
cally or politically, the situation would
be changed very much for the better;
but Germans, Poles, Hungarians, Bohe-
mians, Croats, Slavonians, ETC., are dis
pensed all over the empire and split up
into numerous parties, SO that united
action on the part OF any one of them
is never enduring. The language issue
is one great stumbling block, and all
efforts at compromise have been fruit
less. The reasons are obvious. Other
Hungar:ans in Hungary and more nu-
merous than Germans in Austria Be-
sides this, there is an inflnity of dialects,
so that at the pan-Slavic convention it
was necessary for the delegates to adopt
German as the only tongue that was in
telligible to a majority. Next in order
of difficulty is the question of Bohemian
autonomy, which is more difficult OF ad-
justment than, in Great Britain. and
there is the necessity Of reform in rep
resentation in the various assemblies,
which are filled with the appointees of
the landed interests, the trade associa-
tons, the rich merchants and the uni
versities A radical reform in this sys-
tenn might prove a solvent for many of
the present complications, but any sug-
gestion Of a change to a really repre-
sentative suffrage rouses opposition
even among the very people who might
be expected to welcome it most warmly.
German enterprise, thrift and brains
and the German language have given
Austria Hungary most of the progress
she has enjoyed, but that fact does not
count to the advantage of the Germans
In the struggle with their jealous and
aggressive neighbors.

VIGOROUS
Will Be the New Foreign Policy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Wher
Secretary of State John Hay assumes
Office there will be .a new turn il
American shirt sleeve diplomacy" A
vigorous foreign policy is to be inau-
gurated and for the next half year the
state department will attract attention
both at rome and abroad from the
virili.y and pugnacity of its moves
upon the checker board of foreign af.
fairs.
Three things especially have been
mapped out for the execution of the
new policy and he will begin at once to
carry out this program. 1t is this:
First, to give the several South Am
ericsn nations, notably Chile, Peru,
and the Argentine Republic, few OBJ
ject lessons of the strength of this
country.
Second, to make a naval demons
tra,ion in force before the Golden
Horn in the lsudable endeavOr to
frighten the sublime porte into paying
the American claims for the destruc-
tion of property and life in Armenia.
Third, to bristle up against Ger
many's encroachments in the Samoan
protectorste and to checkmate its plans
for getting a foothold in the Philip
pine archipelago.
To vigorously inaugurate these three
plans will be the first work of Secre-
tsry Hay. He will do great deal be-
fore election and it is confidently pre-
dicted by those who know what is to be
done that Col. Hay will enter upon his
task with zeal and ability. In the case
of the South American countries.
which was SO notorious, Col. Hay de-
clares that the matter is to be vigor-
ously pushed.
Germany has been acting in high
handed way since the death of the
king OF Samoa. regardless of the triple
protectorate exercised by England and
the United States jointly with
herself and the settlement
question will have to be
taken up at once by Col. Hay. He will
also turn down Germany in it's mis-
chievous endeavor to foment trouble in
abe Philippines.
All of this is to be set about at once,
as the president contemplates these
things will direct attention to the state
depsr tment for months TO come.
