Why Another Minister?

With their customary devotion to the
holy cause of the persons and syndi-
Gates who own the Spanish-Cuban debt
and dictate the foreign policy Of this
Government. the Spanish press of
America is trying to minimize the De
LONE incident and to make it appear
that it is a small matter, which only
involves a change of ministers. and
does not i'm the least affect the policy of
the nation or its military alliance with
Spain against human liberty.
Before accepting this view of the
Spanish influence in the Administra-
ton. il might be well for us To remem-
Der that. in accepting the resignation
of Dupuy de Lone and thus allowing
him TO retire with honor from the
country he has insulted, the Spanish
government transmutes personal into
a national affront. As we understand
it, Senior Sagasta has omitted if he has
not refused to make any apology. That
being the case. a distinct "casus belli''
has been offered by Spain, but nobody
supposes that it will be so treated. 1t
is true that night before last We had
report to the effect that the Govern
mcnt would not recognize Senior Don
Juan du Bose as charge d'affaires un-
til proper apology had been received.
but yesterday morning he was received
with due honor. We do not know why
the Administration view should have
changed. but We greatly fear that il
was on account of views communicated
10y Messrs. Rothschild. Hirsch, Blefcro-
der. ]. p Morgan and August Bel
mont If those representative mag
mates decide that the great and holy
integrity of Spanish bonds viii be best
subserved by trucking TO Spain. no.
body need doubt that it viii be done.
What do We want with a Spanish le-
cation here or with an American le-
cation in Madrid? If Gen. Woodford
had committed the blunder at his post
that De Lone did here the chances are
that he and his family would have been
massacred. Aside from that consider
alton in maintaining diplomatic rela-
uons with Sagasta's government at all.
our own is stultifying itself and antag-
onizinG the great mass Of the Ameri-
can people. Why not end the humbug?
Why not pack off the remainder of
the Spanish encourage and recall
Noodford? That and immediate rec
ognition Of the Cuban republic would
terminate the situation and the uues-
ti"n as far as we are concerned.
1t is the one manly, honest and pa
trietic course open to President Will
lam Mckinley.

The question now forced upon a Won
dering outer world is whether New
York society. as advertised in the New
York papers. is going crazy without
knowing it. or deliberately and iuteu-
Ii"nally insane. In the former case it
seems as if something ought to be done:
in the latter nothing probably could be
done. IL is impossible to believe that
any assemblage of people could fail to
see that in getting together and crown
ing as Queen of the Holland Danes a
young lady with the Unmistakable
Hibernian name of Dempsey. they were
making themselves ridiculous: but
that was what happened last Wednes-
day night. OF course the affair is open
10 explanation. There may be some
reason why a young girl should be
made queen Of a society Of danes"
and there may be some reason why a
Dutch society should have an Irish
president. but nobody has yet been able
TO find one. But when it is considered
that this country is supposed to be a
republic, although symptoms have been
rather scarce OF late,a these orders of
the Crown and Holland Danes" and
borrowings after ancestral crests and
traditions reduce themselves To the

4 dispatch from Paris announces that
the people thare are In such a state
of excitement in connection with the
Dreyfus case. which monopoliZes pub
Iic attention, that the publication in the
American newspapers of the De LCme
letter rejecting on the personality and
character of President Mckinley excites
less attention than would otherwise have
been the case. The incident recalls the
fact however that when, three years
ago the editor of the Paris Cocarde pub
lished in the paper some documents of
q confidential character alleged to be the
handwriting of the then BritiSh ambas-
sador. Lord Dufferin, and declared to
have been stolen from the British en-
bassy, he was promptly arrested and
sentenced to years imprisonment. The
documents published in the Cocarde
were inimical TO the French govern
msnt, yet no explanation was ever ask
ed Of Lord Dufferin about the matter.
The inference is therefore. that in the
opinion Of diplomats and foreign minis
try officials the United States Govern
ment ought to prosecute and punish, not
Dupuy de Lone. but the newspapers
who violated the rights to which he is
entitled directly or indirectly by fraud
1t would perhaps be a fitting finale Of
the whole miserable intrigue between
the Spanish ministry and the American
Government. an intrigue having for its
purpose the preparation of Spanish rule

Lord de LIsle, who is particular
friend of the Prince of Wales, and ex
ceedingly popular in London society, is
on bad terms with his children, whom he
offended a few years ago by marrying
at the age of sixty-five a Miss Ramsey,
forty years his Junior. He is a grandson
of King William " of England, his
mother having been a daugh hter Cf King
William ", and of the woman who
figures in history under the name of
Mrs. Jordan. but who was known in
not particularly reputable fashion to
the jeunesse doree of London in the
early part OF the present century by the
name of Dolly Bland. King William had
large family of children by this wom-
an. and after he ascended the throne,
in 1890. he conferred upon the eldest Of
them the earldom of Munster, and gave
to all the other children by a decree of
the crown the rank. precedence and title
Of the younger sons and daughters Of
a duke. Lord MINISTER'S head was alto
gether turned by this elevation TO a
peerage. In fact he chose to consider
it as preliminary to prociaiminS him
heir to the throne as the eldest son of
King William. and was so chagrined
when his fathers niece, Princess Vic
toris. succeeded to the crown that he
committed suicide.
