Enforce the Claim.

Mr. j. E. Angel. the American minister

day In an interview in New York he ex-
pressed the opinion that the United States
Will be compelled to make an armed demon
stration before the sultan will ever recoE-
niZe the justice of our claim for damages
done American property during the riots
in Constantinople. Mr.. Angel is doubtless
correct in his opinion. The Sublime Porte
has never been known to recognize the
justice of any claim that involved the ex-
penditure of money on it's part unless it
was compelled to do so.
In this instance it has repudiated the
claim of the United States, and it has done
the same thing with the claims of all the
to the extent of claiming that, so far from
being liable itself, damages are due Tur-
key in view of the fact that Europeans
shot at and killed Turkish soldiers from the
roofs of their houses. This is what one
might call the Sublime Nerve of a Sublime
Porte.
Our claims for damages rest upon even
more substantial basis than do the claims
OF the European nations. Their losses oc-
CURED in the course of general riots by the
mob, while the property Of the Americans
was destroyed. our minister again asserts
by the very Turkish soldiers who were put
to guard it. Our claim is just one Il
should be enforced. If an armed demon
stratiOn be necessary-well, we have d
pretty good navy, whose entrance into the
Mediterranean would be greeted most en-
Enthusiastically by the people of every Euro
pean c0untry-eXcept Turkey.

The Danger in the West.

Theodore MOmmSen. whose fame as a
historian is worldwide, is quoted as saying
that the danger to the future of Europe
now Lies in the west-in other words. in
America. Formerly the thinking people of
Europe believed that the chief menace to
the nations of the old world was the colos-
sus which lay on its eastern border. Now
we know" says Professor Mommsen that
the danger to Europe is in the west Our
methods of government and our principles
on the subordination of the masses to the
classes are menaced by the theories which
the United States are spreading"
Without intending to do so. Prof. Momm-
sen has perhaps paid the highest compli-
ment to the American republic which it is
in the power of any man to pay. The the
dom, which are the very foundation of our
government, are so absolutely opposed to
the ''subordination of the masses to the
classes that il is easy to see why a man
stepped in the monarchical ideas of Europe
should regard us as a menace to the insti-
buttons of the old world. In that sense
and to Just that extent can the United
States be properly considered in the light
of danger. Prof. Mommsen says that on
the whole the rise of the United States to
international prominence will probably be
a gain to civilization. In this ne has struck
a note that rings true. The rise of the
United States to international prominence
is a gain to civilization in the very best
meaning of the term.
Nations are essentially selfish. This must

The respect which brave men always feel
for bravery was never better exemplified
than in the reception which was accorded
the American sailors III Quebec yesterday,
the officers and crew of the L. S. S. Mar
blehead, who were present at the unveil-
ing of the monument to the great French
explorer Champaign. When the American
cruiser steamed up the river ana drew in
sight the guns Of the British warships I'M
der the walls of the picturesque Old city
Toared forth royal welcome When the
same guns that had helped to win the
midnight fight at Guam ananlo answered
the salute a tremendous cheer went up
from the vast throng that had gathered on
shore to watch the demonstration. In the
city itself the presence of the American
sailors aroused more enthusiasm than did
the British tars from the four big men-of-
war. During the ceremonies at the monu-
ment Captain McCalla and his gallant men
were given places of honor, and wherever
they went the people seemed to know the
story of their bravery as we'll as we know
ii. and treated them like the heroes that
they are. 1t was a reception worthy of
the men, and in comforting it the people of
Quebec and the officers and crews of the.
British ships did themselves as much
honor as they did their guests.

already moving in the direction of the same
man. The De Witt Warmers OF New York
did not find Colonel Roosevelt. They
have no patent his political existence
He is ne more their man than he is Platt s
man. If he is anything, he is man enough
to be accepted on his own merits, without
collars, brands, or any membranes. He
has made his own name and ais own way
and instead of being in this race the crea
ture of a clique or boss he is the choice
of spontaneous public sentiment.
The attitude of the men whom Mr.. Low
rebukes is one of mere impertinence 1t
is a fussy and theatrical assertion of self
rather than of principle, The choice in
New York this year will be between a man
backed by the sound money sentiment of
the state, and one who will owe his success
IN case of election to the activities and
influence of Tammany Hall. Any detection
from the one, therefore, either in the way
OF refusal to vote at all, or by voting for
a third ticket, will play into the hands of
the other. Even the most colossal egotism
ought not TO be able to blind any New
YORK voter to that fact.

Inexperience at the Bottom of Il.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Experience, Illness and death are grim
teachers, but they are gradually bringing
home the lesson that the task of taking
care of Il regiment Of men under canvas is
skilled work which needs training. States
which provided. this state did. an an
rual enCdm0mcnt gave officers and men a
part of the training needed. But as long
as the men at these camps were fed by
contractors and We're not furnished with
the regular army ration, as in regular SER
vice, and expected to prepare 1T for them
selves q very important part of this train
irg was neglected. In the field the men did
not know how to cook their rations. The
outer routine of a National Guard camp
was of-cn more carefully conducted than
the like routine of camp of regulars: but
this is only part of tie whole, and the
smaller part
No one today doubts that a share. and a
very large share, of the Illness of volun-
teerS in camp was due TO the ineXDerience
of officers who knew nothing as to the care
reeded when 100 men brought to-
gether in a limited space if Illness is 20 he
avoided. The care of loo men, kept day
after day in a small space, confined by the
| requirements Of discipline and provided
| with food they must themselves cook, is a
| task which any candid man with intelli-
Sence must see requires both executive
force. skilled training and personal expe-
rience.
Congress. 1t is well to remember. had
taken care that there should be no expe-
l IttuCt'u OlliCtfS- ne law creating ire VOL
unteer force provided that there should be
| only one regular officer to 4 regiment. The
selection and appointment of all the Off
l GERS was placed in the hands of the gov
errors of the states. Regular army off,
| GERS distributed through the regiments
! would have given each organization some
men trained to the business of camp life
Congress excluded such.
The natural and inevitable result was
| that nearly all of the volunteer regiments
not only had inexperienced officers, but
among the officers III most of the volunteer
regiments there was no one who could
| teach the inexperienced members of the
organization. Many a regiment suffered
| cruelty because its regimental commiseary
and quartermaster officers did not know
! their duties and were ignorant how to ask
| for what was needed. Ratiops are not
rained like mamma on regiments under any
military system. The officer detailed to

be so and always has been. and yet there
is no gainsaying the fact that even the ma
tions of Europe have followed our course
during the war with an unexpected amount
of sympathy and appreciation. Even
though 1t was a war between a republic
and monarchy. they recognized the abso-
lutte honesty of the motives which drove us
into the fight. They could not but realize
that it was just and holy war, and while
the defeat of Spain could affect but little
the countries of Europe which live up to
higher and nobler ideals, the defeat of the
United States would have given nineteenth
century civilization a severe setback It
is good for all mankind that a nation which
sets for itself such a task as Americas in
the recent war should achieve success
Inc great German historian is wrong when
ne says that this country is menace and a
threat, but the error is one that Is natural
to man who is SO thoroughly impregnated
WITH monarchical ideas and who himself
belongs to the classes Ii the subordina-
lon of the masses to the classes be rea-
sonaole and right we must indeed admit
the truth of the charge made against U.S.
Ii, on the contrary, it is wrong in essence
ana IN practice, then the United States is
rather a beacon light that leads, not upon
the shoals of anarchy and revolt but into
the safe harbor of liberty and justice to
masses and classes alike.

Some Winter SuSgestiaDs.

The proposition to adopt a law compell-
ing the owners of vacant lots to prevent
the growth upon them Of rank and roxious
weeds Is most admirable one. but the
season IS rapidly approaching when still!
greater responsibility will rest upon the
owners Of such lots. as well as the owners
OF lots upon which are unoccupied houses
This will be the removal of the snow and
ice from the sidewalks upon which such
property abuts. There is already a reguga-
ton requiring this to be- done, but in past
years it has been more honored in tho
breach than in The observance. 1t NAV he
confidently hoped that the approaching
winter Will see this important regulation
vigorously enforced, as Maj Sylvester has

ton TO use the force under his direction
for compelling the proper observance of

Roosevelt and the independents

The Star yentured TO predict the other

not succeed in embarrassing Colonel Roose-
Welt IN the matter of his candidacy for gov

matter Of mis- candidacy for mayor. There
are signs that We were not incorrect in that
Judgment. The individuals VINO are insist
ing that Colonel Roosevelt must DC con-
sidered, and must consider and confess
himself. their candidate. to be voted for by
the republicans as matter of gracious
privilege, are making no headway. In fact

buked these men, in a letter pointing out
how misChieyOus the whole proceeding if
persisted in might become to the very

advice In substance is 70 accept Colonel
Roosevelt as the republican candidate, who
by virtue of his high personal character
