TALK AROTT PEACE.

There Is an outbreak Of peace talk both at
Washington and In various European capitals
If well founded Il is TO be welcomed. The same
wise spirit that would not resort to war until
the last extremity reached is eager to re-
store peace so soon as that can be done with
honor and with satisfaction Of the issues for
which the peace was broken. This Nation is
ready 10 fight for uncOunted years, IL neces
sary. but IT Is also ready to make peace to-day
on proper terms-the granting Of It's just and
reasonable demands which made before
the war and Of such additional demands as
have grown out Of the war itself.
II is 10 he hoped that this peace talk has,
however a better foundation than the rise In
price Of Spanish securities. Our London CORE
spondent in his special cable dispatch to-day
observes that while the men in the Street"
are predicting speedy ending Of the war diplo-
matists take a different view Of the case There
are. plenty of explanations Of the rise in price
OF bonds apart from prospect Of peace None
better could he asked than the prospect now
pretty we'll assured that Spain will In some
way be enabled 10 meet the next interest pay
men,s falling due, and will not have to default,
as has been feared. There Is more potent
influence upon the price OF any securities than
that
II may be that Spain Is Inclined to listen to
the advice Of the European Powers. or OF some
of them, and to consider terms OF peace before
greater woes befall her. That would be the
part Of wisdom. The difficulty would be to find
a scapegoat For the people would undoubtedly
rise in wrath against any Ministry that made
terms with the United States-such terms as
must be made II the war Is to cease Wisely as
that Ministry would be acting, 1t would be sign
ing its own political death-warrant Senor So
gasta has no desire to do that, and 30, as our
London correspondent shrewdly suggests, he
may be planning to get turned out of office on
some other and merely technical issue That
would leave 10 his successor the detested task
Of yielding 10 the hated Yankees giving I'D
Cuba and paying a round indemnity for the
privilege Of having been beaten That success
sor would quickly be turned out of office and
then Sagasta might come in again. That would
be manGuvre we'll worthy OF the veteran

However these things may be. 1t ought to be

THE COREAN ADVANCEMENT.

Japan and Russia have agreed upon a modus

news from the Far East Some weeks ago it
was foreshadowed. Now the fact Is consum-
mated Both the great Powers recognize the
independence of Corea, and will refrain from
meddlng in or trying To control the domestic
policy of that empire. They will continue TO
regard Corea as under their protection against
outside foes, but neither will intervene in her
behalf. or even give her counsel or instruction,
without an agreement to that effect with the
other. Finally, recognizing the paramount com

THE TRAITOR WITHIN TIE GATES.


Liberty has its penalties, and this land of lib
erty Is compelled TO endure them to-day open
doors and extended opportunities have brought

the elements commngle, become asslmiiated,
and add TO the strength Of the whole harmo'
NOUS Nation. But some evil characters creep
in. and on occasions like the present some alien
sympathies become pernicous. In that re
spect this country is AT 4 decided disadvantage
compared with Spain. There are not many per-
sons Of Spanish nativity in the United states.
They are less numerous than those from almost
any other European State. Yet they probably
cutnumber Americans in Spain by more than n
hundred to one. or course no reflection is Ia
be csst UPON them as a whole. The ma jority Of
them are without doubt loyal and devoted citi-
zens Of this Republic Yet there Is always the
possibility that among them are some who turn
from the new love back 10 the old md are ready
to sacrifice the interests Of America 10 those Of
Spain.
Already several Instances OF traitorous con
duct have appeared. A woman In California
has written TO the Spanish Prime Minister let

est kind That precious misslve has happily
been intercepted. and we shall probably have no
more trouble from that source. man has
been detected aboard one Of our warshps eli

trial and bids fair 10 be convicted OF
being Spanish spy. And there are others,
whose designs have been detected and haf-
fed Whether or not they are all Span'ards
by nativity does not appear. They are Span
ards Mt heart. and under the liberal system Of
this country they have been permitted 10 live
here and 10 enjoy the hospitality the protection
and the prosperity Of the land against which
they now turn their treacherous hands. That
il. az we have said. n penalty which this coGn-
try has TO bear and from which Spain IS
exempt.
In the Civil War IN this country there was
some uncertainty as to the exact definition
of treason under the Constitution. In the
present. case there can be none. Spain is an
enemy Of tie United States. and adherinc 10 her
or giving her aid and comfort is treason to the
United States II is not 10 be apprchcnded that

The patent medicine men are wondering why
taxation should have It's limits any more than
patriotism SO long as proprietors Of other
trademark articles go scot free. they inclined
to draw the line at the proposed tax OF four
cents on each dollar bottle Of their prepara-
tons. which they say means tax OF at least
per cent their gross business. since the
dollar bottle Is sold by them to the druggist for
~ cents Perhaps they could follow the brew
er's device Of making the saoonkeeper pay the
tax far as to induce the druggist to pay
81 cents a bottle. and so divide the cost OF
patriotism. But they have another Idea. and
that Is TO put q stamp tax on all proprietary
articles sold under trademark They say a
much smaller tax might be levied on each In
dividual. and much larger revenue would be
raised There Is certainly some truth In their
view. 1t is A virtue In tax to strike many
rather than a few people, and perhaps soap
should bear the burdens OF war as well as pills.
