Ii WOULD BE UNFORTUNATE.

To say the least, it would be unfortunate
for the country if the Democrats and Pop
ulists should by combined vote control
the next national House of Representa-
tiyes. After March 4th, 1899, the lndica-
tions are that the Republicans will control
the United States Senate. We have o
Republican President and if the party has
a majority of the next House it will be in
complete control of both the Executive
and Legislative branches of the govern
ment. This would give the Republican
party an opportunity to test not only its
tariff policy, which is now in force, but to
formulate and adopt such changes in the
financial policy of the government as may
be deemed reaes sary.
Immediately after the Inauguration of
Mr.. Mckinley the tariff policy of the
party was outlined, framed into law and
is now in full operation-meeting the ap-
proyal of the business interests of the
country and bringing a vast revenue to
the public treasury.
Since MIR. Mckinley has been President
the Senate has beea hostile to his fnan-
eial Y eve and those of the House of Rep

Continent, to common action, and mean
ingless unless this WAS his purpose. Ger
many has by common report long had IN
mind the possibility of becoming the colo
NAL legatee of Spain, and its military sys-
tenn could not but incline German public
opinion to condemn much in our national
policy, methods, spirit and aims. Lastly,
Russia, our ancient ally and still our sim
cere friend, could not fail to be put in a
serious mood by the hearty sympathy OF
Great Britain with the United States.
These we're serious difficulties. In spite
of wide but false impression to the con-
trary in this country, no one of these coun-
tries was hostile. All have been in the
war honorably neutral. But each stood in
a position Where a false or ill.advised step
might launch any one of these powers OH a
course likely to lead to collision. Spain
confidently counted on some such blunder.
Dazzed by our own success, we have al
most forgotten the anxieties with which we
three months ago feared the joint action Of
Europe or the untoward act of some one
country.
If neither came ii has been because
President Mckinley and Secretary Day
have been equal to all the demands of
critical and dangerous situation. Under
their guidance-for the work has been
Joint one, honorable to both-the United
States has always taken digni6ed, reso-
lutte and an American position. We have
afTronted none, but we have yielded to
none This country emerges untram-
meled by promise and unembamassed by
the hostility or jealousy Of any power.
Russia remains our firm friend. France,
as in the past, displays the sympathy Of a
sister republic. Germany has given as
cordial hand-shake as could be expected
of ENABLED fist, and the Philippines are
untouched. Our relations with England,
none the less dangerous because of an en-
thusiastic sympathy for which we shall al
ways he grateful, have been model of a
fehcitous and harmonious understanding
This diplomatic triumph equals any in
the war and it is the fruit Of prudence, a
sobrety, tact, dignity and a calm
courage altogether American. The two
citizens who have discharged this immeaS-
urable service came to the work with little
training and much patriotism, with little
special knowledge Of diplomacy and SUI
preme confidence in the cause Of their
country and in the justice and humanity
which guide its policy. Their names
henceforth are enrolled with those greater
men who have in the past piloted the Re-
public through troubled waters. Once
more our great and triumphant republican
system which implicitly trusts first the
people and next the servants of their
choice receives the seal of high success in
a peace which frees Cuba, annexes Porto
Rico and plants our flag at every crossway
of the Pacific, henceforth the scene of our
expanding trade and our increasing power.

There never was a time in the history
of American politics when so many men
with a political record were lost in the
woods The new conditions, the new
issues and the new habits of thought that
have changed the standpoint of the masses
have merely dazed the apostles of egotism
and left them without any standpoint
whatever. Their mental attitude is that
of the man who sees a great body Of cav
airy moving in the dim distance All he
knows is that vast mass is moving and
raising a mighty cloud Of dust; but he
knows not whence it came nor whittier it
is going. And SO, men like Thomas +.
Bayard, who were once oracles of their
party, attract no more attention when
they address their fellow-countrymen on
the issues Of the day than if they were so
many galvanised Egyptian mummies.
They speak a dead language and pirate
about things which are no more subjects
of current discussion than the death of
Julius Caesar.

+ sentatives, and, therefore, it was use
less and hopeless task for him and the
Republican majority in the House to at
tempt to make any change in the none
tary policy or system now in operation.
If by any possibility the Democrats
should obtain a majority in the next
House the President and the Republican
party would be blocked in any effort they
might wish to make for reforming the cur
rency laws. We hardly think the people OF
the United States will be so careless or fool
ish as to let such condition come.
The Republicans should control both
houses of the next Congress and assume
the responsibility of giving the people all
the relief they may need.

The Diplomacy of the War.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
A protocol is q preliminary treaty,
what in private life would be called a
memorandum of contract. Two days must
probably pass before the protocol drawn
yesterday is signed and published, but the
work is done, peace is assured, all the OBJ
jects of the war are gained and the country,
which for three months has faced war, be-
gins now to face towards peace.
Unvarying victory has brought peace,
but not less the victorious diplomacy of
President Mckinley and Secretary Day.
So engrossed has the country been with
the shock of arms by land and by sea that
it has taken for granted the high skill and
sound judgment which has guided the for"
eign relations of the war.
When it opened, the United States had
no friend but England. When it closed,
Spain had no ostensible supporter but
Austria, bound by dynastic ties to the
Queen Regent at Madrid. This transfer
nation is no fruit Of accident, no acciden-
tai result of the happy course of events
and the steady progress Of our victorious
arms.
The diplomatic odds were all against the
United States when war drew near in Feb
Iuary. The recent unskillful conduct of
important negotiations had more than
once brought to serious tension our rela-
tons with Great Britain, and our advance
OF Spain might justly be held the first step
in the expulsion of Europe from America
unwisely, almost brutally, outlined by
Secretary Olney. Europe regarded with
grave suspicion the assumption, single and
alone, by the United States, of the duty
and right of interference in the affairs of
sovereign State which in European affairs
has for a century been deemed the func-
ton only of concert and union of great
powers, no one of whom ventures to do
alone what all freely venture together.
The general sentiment created by this
practice and principal was backed by indi-
vidual causes of dislike and distrust
France held Spanish bonds on large
scale and owns to q still larger extent
Spanish railroads, whose value our acts re-
duced by millions. Italy bad local sym.
pathv and an individual dislike for our d.
plomatic action, as her free sales of vessels
to Spain showed. To dynastic sympathy
with Spain Austria added the bitter indus
trial and commercial antipathy voiced last
Fall by Count Goluchowski and plainly in
tended to guide Central Europe. if not the

Death of Judge Farrar.
Richmond Times.l

Richmond Times.
In The death of Judge Farrar Virginia
loses one of her most loyal and devoted
sons. Few men understood Eirginians and
Virginia customs as they were before the
war so well. No man could tell Virginia
story with livelier zest, with more fascina-
ton Of detail and incident, with greater
hunIor or pathos as occasion required. In
him was preserved that peculiar charm of
old time Virginia life. which cannot be set
down in print, which can be told only by
word of mouth. He was part of that
life he understood it well and ne knew
how 70 portray it as few Others know, so
that apart from our love of the man, e
feel that the whole State has sustained Il
irreparable loss in his taking off.
A charming personality, a gentleman Of
the old school, chivalrous, one to whom
every woman was queen, it was always
his pleasure to bow down and worship her.
He loved Virginia, he loved everything
that was Virginian, and in that great heart
Of his there was no room for any spark Of
hatred, save of that which was mean and
low.
He led simple, pure life and he fell
asleep as little child Sleep on, Johnny
Reb, IN the bosom Of the old mother
State whom you loved so dearly and WHO
loved you, and the fragrance of the flowers
that shall bloom above your grave will he

your character.

JUST PRAISE TO SEC'Y DAY.
His High Success and the High
Character He Has Shown.

Character He Has SHOWN.
New York "Timcs']
1t will be acknowledged, we think, by
all fair and well.informed observers that
both during the period of Judge Days
unacknowledged and Of his acknowledged
headship of the State Department its
affairs have been conducted with judg-
ment, with force and frmness, and with
proper dignity. The position Of our Gov
eminent with reference to the Spanish
difficulty has been presented not only to
that Government but to the Government
of other nations in highly satisfactory
manner. 1t has been kept free from any
expression Of undue aggressiveness and
has won the respect and to very remark
able degree the friendly respect Of those
to whom it could not possibly be agree
able, and vino would not have been sorry
to find it offensive. This undoubtedly
was in large part due to the ability and
character of our representatives abroad
General Woodford, Mr.. Hay, Mr.. White
and General Porter. But these gentle
men were necessarily the choice of the
State Department in the first Instance,
and were at all times under its constant
direction. While the task of Ambassador
Hay was unexpectedly easy, that of each
of the others, and Of the State Depart
ment in their direction, was one OF ex'
IRENE difficulty. 1t is highly creditable
to all concerned that from the first there
has been no break III the relations Of our
Government to those Of the European
powers, while there has certainly been not
the slightest compromise of the rights of
the United States.
1t must be noted also that during this
long term of CONSPICUOUS and arduous
service Mr.. Day has borne himself with
unfailing dignity, modesty and reserve.
So far as now appears he is entirely con-
tent, after rounding out hig term as Secre-
tary by the work of the Peace Commits
sion, for which he is obviously peculiarly
fitted and which logically falls to him, 10
retire from public life and resume the
quiet calling from which Mr.. Mckinley
him. In other words, he
seems to regard public Office as trust and
duty, and not as all object Of ambition,
much less as reward for personal or
political service. That is very high and
very unusual ideal of citizenship.

United States government is pre-occC-
pied with the Spanish var and has neither
time nor inclination to look after the in
terest or redress the wrongs Of Americans
in far.away Turkey. The President should
teach him a lesson by d'spat hing squad
ron to Turkey waters TO make Il peremp-
tory demand, with guns ready for action
Such display of naval strength, and a
determination to use it if necessary would
no doubt bring the Turk to his senses and
induce him to reconsider his refusal and
satisfy the Just demands Of the mission
aries, Such demonstration would have
the salutary effect of preventing the rereii-
ton of such outrages. 1t would be we'll o
seize the opportunity to teach all nations
nat the American government has both
the power and the inclination to protect
American citizens, just as our kinsmen in
the mother country protect British sub
jects In this respect, at least, England
sets us an example worthy of imitation.

The Protocol and Its Work.
Philadelphia Press.l


The protocol sharply divides the work
of reaching peace and settlement of the
pending questions to be included in the
treaty of peace.
A military commission within one month
will arrange for the Spanish evacuation
The latter is an operation which will con-
sumo two or three months and which is
altogether and in all respects matter for
military experts on both sides. The one
object must be to remove the Spanish
troops as rapidly as possible and to intro
duce a regular army garrison at the earliest
possible moment consistent with good
health among the troops.
A diplomatic commission of ten, five
from each country, which meets in Paris
October /, is to draw the treaty of peace
and decide upon the Philippines. Six
weeks remain for public opinion to settle
this issue. The commission itself will be
six to eight weeks drawing the treaty.
By no possibility can either Cuba and
Porto Rico or the Philippines be in con-
dition for Congress to pass upon the
issues presented until the regular session
in December. Commanding the sea and
hence able to sisolate the Philippines at
will, the United States can begin reducing
its volunteer force as fast as the Spanish
army leaves Cuba and removes any posi-
BILE risk of military operations.

The Sultan Of Turkey, in an interview
with United States Minister Angel, pos
itively refused to pay the bill for the DAM
ages to the property of missionaries at
Harpoot. Turkey" he says, "eannot
hold herself responsible for the outrages of
the brigands and infuriated mobs in the
less protected portion of her territory"
That is remarkable statement, The
Sultan is presumed to rule over every part
Of his empire. 1t follows that he is respcn-
sible to foreign States for injuries inflicted
on their citizens, within his territory. If
he confesses that he cannot control his
subjects, how could he complain if the for
eign States should take the remedy in their
own hands and send an army to discipline
the offenders?
The Sultan cannot by any such fimsy
pretext evade bis international obliga-
tons. The United States government
cannot afford to let the matter rest. 1t is
the duty of the government to protect the
rights of American citizens anywhere in
the world. 1t is one of the chief glories Of
Great Britain that British subjects can
count on the protection of the home gov
eminent wherever they may 90 in the
East or in the West. When the rights of
q Briton are infringed, the government
takes up the quarrel without counting the
costs, and therefore the British flag is re-
spected all the world over.
The Sultan, perhaps, assumes that the
