seem to be good ground for the protest
which has been entered against this
measure. 1t clearly goes too far in the
effort to accomplish a really desirable
object. There is such thing as zeal
without knowledge and it is well illus
trated in the sweeping and indiscrimi-
mating legislation. There are unqueStion-
ably crying abuses and wantOn cruelties
connected with this industry. but care
must be taken in all crusades of this
kind not to inflict serious injury upon
innocent individuals and interests. While
protecting birds We should not bankrupt

There is one ugly subject upon which
events will show that The Times, as
usual. has been right and as to which
ii wishes TO God that it could have been
wrong. The Administration, seeing
that Congress and the people are bent
upon Furnishing Spain and thereby
wrecl1ing the Spanish bond deal has
deliberately conspired through Arch
bishop Ireland and the Pope to bring
about an active and violent interven-
ton by the chief military powers Of
Europe. Readers may select their own
terms for this course of action. We
call it treason against the American
people.
During yesterday Archbishop Ire
land was doing a match against time
between the White House and the
French and Austrian embassies and the
Spanish legation. Although Assistant
Secretary Day still continues nominally
To fiji the shoes of John Sherman. the
real active Secretary Of State is Ire
land. To his tonsured head all the eyes
of Wall and Lombard Streets are turned
and to his sanctifled personality the
Spanish bond conspirators look as their
last hope for monetary salvation. Mr.
Mckinley tearfully promises Congress
that he will be good and do anything
il may command him to. But at the
same time Mgr. ireland is actively
at work We shall learn today
or tomorrow what all this means.
France and Austria are rapidly getting
their arrangements perfected to spike
the guns of Congress. Everything
points to war, but those Siamese twins,
Mckinley and Sagasta, are confident of
peace. because they believe that the
powers of Europe will decree it and
compel it if necessary by force and
arms. Where is the vaunted blood
misunderstanding of Great Britain?
Today we are told that Sir Julian
Pauncefote has notified the President
that her majesty's government cannot
permit America to recognize The in
dependence of Cuba, as that would
threaten the integrity of British pos
sessions in America at some future
time. That is friendship" with a
vengeance. That is the way in which
a nation of seventy-five million free
men is addressed by the power that
has made ireland a crushed and food
less waste and India a famine
Manchester cotton kings and British
opium dealers. And are we to stand
it?
The official answer is that we must
