The Kansas Pacific Deal

Objection has frequently been made
that the foreign policy of Mr.. Mckin-
ley has net been vigorous. This can
not truthfully be said in regard to his
domestic, and especially his railway
policy. The finesse which he and his
associates lack in dealing with inter
national relations, they seem TO possess
in the highest degree of development
in some other respects. Thus the KAN
sas Pacific deal,
The Government has q second mort
gage claim on this division amounting
to 81, l.21S. II is reported to have
compromised this with the ''reorganiZa-
tion committee" al about forty-eight
cents on the dollar, or the sum of &c.
o62,00e, that figure representing the
principal of the debt without accrued
interest.
Two weeks ago it was currently re-
ported that the reorganization COM
mittee, for fear of governmental in
reference, had raised its bid 10 an
amount equivalent to the principal
and one-half of the interest. This would
have benefited the Treasury $9.4Sl, ,636.
But IL was asserted at that time, and
assurances to the same effect We're
given TO Congress, that the Administra-
tion did not consider this sufficient
and would take steps to postpone the
sale. in the full confidence of securing
a bidder who would give enough to
clear off the fun incumbrance. Thus,
and thus only, was Congressional
action averted. Now il appears that
this movement on the part of the EX-
ecutiVe was not inconsistent with the
probability that different and final
arrangement had been reached several
weeks earlier.
Ii is significant that the Government,
the second mortgage claimant. loses
about $1,000, 900 on it's claim. while the
first mortgage creditors, under the re-
organization, will receive in cash and
securities, based on Saturdays Wall
street prices. one hundred and twenty
eight per cent of their claim, and the
holders of the third mortgage viii get
one hundred and fifteen per cent of
theirs.
As the matter undoubtedly will be
one for Senatorial investigation. criti-
cism may be temporarily suspended.
But there is an unpleasant flavor
about the deal

Something rather curious came out when
they took an inventory OF the possessions
OF the late George M. Pullman. Mr..
Pullman had a very fine library. that is.
he had very fine room in which to keep
his books In the course of his long and
varied life he had discovered that people
In general considered a library an indis

have so little reverence for books that

a person would Just as soon sit down and
read In an old swivel-chair, with an un-
certainty in its castors, beside an uncov-
cred table with nothing on it but pens
and paper, as any other way. That was
not the way with Mr.. Pullman. When
he sat down to read he wanted everything
in harmony. And 1t was in harmony,

Doing Good by system.

Somehow or other societies which
have for their sole ostensible object the
benefitng of the human race always
seem to afford few people a good liv-
ing. AS a general thing, the person who
leads the movement does so for con-
sideration, and there is a secretary
who also receives a consideration, and
so on, down to the people TO be bene-
fitted, who receive the least considera-
ton of all. On a dispassionate survey
of all the various schemes, old and
new, orthodox and unorthodox, one is
moved to wonder why so much machin-
cry should be needed for simply doing
good. The query even enters the mind
whether the nineteenth century world
is not in danger of being organized to
death
This is especially true in the matter
Of mental and moral improvement.
About nine-tenths of the good that is
really done in this world, and stays
done. is accomplished by people who
do not know they are doing it. The
more unconscious and spontaneous
good action is the finer its effect on the
one who confers and the one who re-
ceiyes the benefit. And If there is any
thing under the sun which will take
the spontaneity out of either of these
people it is machinery and organiza-
tion and sense of responsibility.
IL every person who really wishes TO
do good would take particular pains
to think right thoughts, and speak kind
words, and behave sympattsetically and
charitably toward other people. and

When that custom has grown up un-
der the stimulus of partisan, sectional
or personal interest, until it has become
the unwritten law of the body, it seems
painful and peculiar to face about and
refuse to apply it to a case like the pres
ent one, wherein every consideration
of national honor and of justice and
mercy appeal for the exercise of the
greatest latitude.
Even if this were not SO, ii does seem
that when one House Of Congress,
through its suppression to the purposes
of solitary autocrat, regularly Vio-
lates all parliamentary rules, the Sen
ate could afford for once in way to
stretch or ignore one for the purpose
of getting the burning question of the

Senate Ru,es and House License

The amendment of Senator Allen to
,he diplomatic and consular bill, pro-
viding for recognition of Cuban bel
ligerencv. was reported back to the
Senate yesterday by the Committee on
Foreie:t Relations, without recommend
alton, and with q request that it lie on
the table. 1t was stated by the senator
making the report that, while the conf
mittee was thoroughly in sympathy
with the object of the resolution, it
could not agree with the plan of Sena-
tor Allen to put it into an appropria-
tion bill.
We must express chagrin and regret
that the Senate. in thus slowly, OF per-

back to an extreme strict-construc-
ticnist sense of the rigidity of rules and
the inviolable sahctity of the proprie-

Bluudets II Not Grim eS

Even If the Spanish government
should be willing ultimately to do what
the Mckinley Administration in its ex
tremity is pleading for. 1T is positively
certain that ii will play for as much time
on the point as possible. In this we do
not apprehend that any hard feelings
will be engendered Except az ii may
affect politics. the Administration does
not care cent about the Dupuy De
LONE incident II is not made up of the
sort of people who are sensitive to ma
tional considerations, nor yet to those of

and. therefore, we are justified In look
ing for more bluff than blood on the part
of our authorities.
1t must be remembered that the con-
troll of the Spanish Cuban bondholders
and the Anglo American sugar Syndi-
cate over the Spanish policy of our
Government is exactly as firm as it
was before Dupuy De LONE told some
friend Canalejas: and the interest of
those elements in the direction of peace
and the salvation of Spain in Cuba is
just as great now as II was six months
ago. 1t might be unjust to suspect that
some of the blunders OF last week. which
would have been amusing If they had
not been deeply mortifying and dis
graceful, were deliberately planned and
executed to put this country a dis
advantage and to place Spain in Dip
lomatic position from which she could
iegitimately escape action that she
might otherwise refuse to consider, and
so precipitate crisis. But the sins,

The French Crisis.

France which could stand the
sassination of president without dis
order. seems ON the point Of going to
pieces over a savage and insane senti-
ment of bigotry and race prejudice.
Not that the religious factor, as such,
is much in evidence. The French peo-
pie of late years have displayed a great
deal of independence where theological
considerations have been involved, and
the hold of their old and nearly uni
versal religious organization has been
badly broken, in the course of success
sive revolutions, the commune, and the
progressive weakening of the ancient
church and state idea under the re-
public.
But it does not appear that, with pop
ular surrender of medieval religious
ideas and standards, the hatred of the
Hebrew race, which was incidental TO
the ancient order OF things, has par
ticularly abated. That an epidemic
of Jew-baiting should break out. be-
cause one member of the disliked race
was accused of reasonable practices, is
evidence of the deep-seated antipathy
of the French masses TO all representa-
tires of Judaism. In a country like
America 1t is nearly impossible 10 con-
ceive of an outburst of insensate nation
al passion growing out of so compara-
lively small a cause. 1t is more so
when we find il not lesSened, but ap-
parentIy intensified by evidence that
the accused Hebrew officer, Dreyfus,
Il "a q
goat to shield the real offender. who is
believed To have been not Jew, but
a Jew hater.
In the trial of the novelist, Emile
Zola. for championing the cause of
Dreyfus. it is painful To observe that
all the indications point to government
tal effort to suppress truth, and to de-
feat the ends of justice. Public opin-
ion, outside of France, is almost solid
in the conviction that if Zola has not
made out a clear case for Dreyfus, at
least he has justified himself. and that
he has forced judicial demonstration OF
the fact that the trial and conviction
of Dreyfus constituted an outrage
seldom. if ever, paralleled IN modern
times in a civilized State.
Even Paris sees this, but does not
moderate its anger, or its desire to
nersecute. The press of that city is
nearly unanimous in opposition to any
show of justice to Zola, much less to
the unfortunate he has endeavored to
rescue. Henri Rochefort, editor OF the
Infransigeant. declares that Zola can
NOT live in France hereafter without
permanent body guard, and that the
nrisoner of lie du Diable. if brought to
Paris for a rehearing, would be mob
bed. Other authorities assert that the
French army is honeycombed with an
archism, and that deep-seated antag-
onism has been developed between it
and the judiciary, and between its lead
ers and the political chiefs of the ma
ton.
