Anglo. Saxon Fa:ndliness.

washington dispatches quote the view
Of Sir William Merrlott on the question
of an Anglo-Amerlcan alliance, which
has so long been matter of discussion.
Sir william makes the point that the
people Of England are not asking for an
alliance in the sense in which the term
Is understood by sOme-an alliance for
ofiense and defense and an arrange
ment which would involve US in Euro
pean political complications.
There Is NO danger of the United
States government ever entering into
such an alliance. Peace and Progress
win be the American watchwords in
whatever treaties, or arrangements, or
understandings arc to be entered into
for the broadening of our influences and
the extension of our trade and COM
merce. Sir William states to a Pitts
burgh Dispatch correspondent what he
believes to be the practical desire Of the
people Of England when ne says that
all they desire is "a better understand
ing between the two Anglo-saxon ma
lions" This he believes would render
an alliance unnecessary. His references
20 the good feeling already existing be-
tween the United statee and Great Bril-
tain, and to the fact that all Europe
knew that England stood ready to take
sides with America in the event of in
reference from any quarter, are in line
with British sentiment
Undoubtedly the good feeling which
exists between the two countries means
much for their mutual advantage. The
interests of England and America
henceforth in the Pacific trade Will be
identical in many respects. The Anglo
Saxon nations are naturally destined for
such an understanding" as Sir William
indicates Their power and their COM
munlty OF interests in the region of the
world which is presenting such an In
wiling field for trade and commerce, as
well as their natural sympathies, make

In The appointment of Robert P. Por-
ter to,report on the condition of indus
try, trade, foreign commerce. currency
and banking systems in Cuba and
Puerto Rlcn. for the use of the admInIs-
tration and Congress, the President fnE
selected one OF the most experienced
statlsticians in the country, who will
conduct. the work systematically, and
gain every bit OF information necessary
for both branches of the government to
inteflgentIy set about the task of re-
generating the two Islands, lndustrially
and commercially.
Mr.. Porter's intention IS to make 1t
well understood to the people Of the
islands that all their business interests
will be cared for as fairly and carefully
as the Interests of our own people. This
means that the government Is not to
consult its own selfish interests alone,
but also the interests of the territory
which has been acquired permanently,
ana over which we shall exercise pro-
teotorate. So plain will this be made to
al the people OF Cuba-to the spanIard
md the Cuban and the citizen of any
other nationality. and so promptly and
practically will the intentions be carried
out that the entire population Will
Quickly become reconciled to the new
and better conditions. The benehcent
results will be felt at once, in presenting
a condition which win encourage Amer
lean capital and the Americaulzing of
the island.
In setting about this work so soon,
even before the evacuation of Cuba and
Puerto Rico by Spain, or the signing Of
the treaty. of peace. the government is
looking to the future In a characteristic
American business-llke way. No
time whatever Is to be lost in gaining
the information necessary for a dellber-
ate framing of a policy for both islands,
which will have the endorsement and
assistance Of the commercial interests
Of this country. and bring permanent
prosperity to the people to whom we
have given freedom. The work of gath
ering the information upon which future
action on this line Is TO be based is in
good hands.

OF intfuding upon him too much outside

Mr.. choate,s confidence in the ability
of the administration to handle the new
problems that have Unexpectedly grown
out of the victories achieved by the
United States is mot the only expression
which IS worthy of consideration by
those who are too apt tO'critlcise ana to
hold the government too strictly to the
precise intentions at the outset OF the
war. and before unlocked for develop
ments occurred.
These developments. Nj Choate urges,
cue to the triumphs OF our arms on two
hemispiieres, have imposed upon us re-
probabilities that we cannot and will
not shirk. and "rhe government must
aot be held too rigidly to purposes and
expectations declared before the cum
nencement OF the war. and In ignorance
Of its possible results" Some Of the
carping critics may be disposed to dis
agree with Mr.. ChoatA In this view, and
yet he points out ut least two Instances
In our history, as pred dents for his
position. when he declafes that II any
other than the rule he advocates were
correct, our fore-fathers would not have
been permitted TO draft the declaration
Of Independence, for. according to Benja-
min Franklin, that was not the original
intention; nor, in later days, would
Lincoln have issued the emancipation
proclamation. The whole situation is
ever apt to chnnge during a war.
We are now facing a condition Of the
kind described. and the people of this
country can AFFORD to join in the sent-
ment Of Mr.. choate's address when he

Come, Sorrow, lot me crown thy brow
With this bright wreath OF roses;
Perchanoe It may tho grief allay
That in my heart reposeS.
Perchance thy cheeks so thin and wan
May catch bit Of color,
And those great eyes may clear their skies
That now grow dull and duller.
Perchance those trembling lips may smile,
PorchRnce thy laugh may follow,
And thou, forgetful Of thyself,
Think life IL not so hollow.
Who knows but this bright wreath may
prove
Return of hopes departed?
See how these petals nAme around
Their centers, ruby-hsarted!
Come, Sorrow. let tho wreath descend
Upon thy brow so cloudcd.
And will warrant thee thy heart
No longer shall be shrOudod.

blooms:
Twas ne that kindly sent them;
Without thorn let them be worn
BY thee for whom he meant them.
