Our Relations With England.

1t was cabled from London on the eve of
Mr.. Hays departure for home that he was
not an advocate of an alliance between
England and the United States such as the
recent speculation on that subject had out
lined. The story was not very clearly
given. but naturally it attracted much at
tention. The Star reproduced it IN part,
and pronounced it important if true.
The story turns out not to be true. Mr..
Hay has landed. and while reserved in ex-
Pressi0us about all public questions, goes
far enough on that question to
show that he is in thorough accord with
the popular feeling both in this country
and in England. He is no advocate of a
hard and fast compact between the two
governments. nor, for that matter. is any
man in high place either there or here
The whole matter is comprehended in a de-
sire that the better understanding arrived
at and the strong bond of sympathy now
established between the two countries be
maintained: and in that desire Mr. Hay, as
was reasonably to be expected. fully shares
hard and fast compact is neither prac-
ticable nor desirable. Questions of great
international consequence can no more be
forecast than ordinary domestic questions
No statesman can tell what a day may
bring forth. Since, therefore, the hand of
fate can neither be forced nor read in adj
vance. he is the safest leader of his people
and the best guardian of their interests
who holds himself prepared to deal with
matters as they arise according to their
bearing and requirements. To hopple a
horse whose stride is long and whose move
ment is regular and easy is to abuse the
animal and put him out of condition. The
United states IS IN no need of hopples Its
gait IS steady, and its temper even.
And SO it is that. matters now stand
there Is alliance enough between the United
States and England on general principles.
No legislation. no formal treaty, of any
KIND Is necessary to give it additional DO
teHcy. The English-speaking people are
now in good accord. They have and will
continued to have, their sharp rivalries
among themselves, but they are travelling
tne same road of progress and civilization.
ana II any serious clash with enemies or
outsiders are reasonably certain to stand
together.

Europe Is very much in earnest in the
attempt to crush out anarchy. 1t is likely
thi4t ali the great powers, including Great
britain Will assent If they have not al
ready done so, to the proposals which ena-
mated from Italy looking to common action
against anarchists. The measures adopted
will be very severe. 1t is said that a mere
avoWal of anarchist views will be regarded
as d criminal offense. There are difficulties
IN the way of concerted action, and if
these cannot be surmounted then each
country, acting for itself. will he more
strict than ever before in it's treatment
OF these enemies to civilization and good
government.
But what part is the United States going
TO play in this matter? Is our country to he
looked upon as a safe retreat for these men
who are to be driven out of Europe like so
many rats? We have law upon the sub
Ject which are doubtless sufficient to cover
the case, but never since they were en-
acted mas there been SO much reason for
their strict enforcement. We do not want
these men. They are not seeking oppor-
TURTLES for life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, in the sense that We understand
those phrases. They have nothing in com
mon with the American people Exiles who
have fought u honest and conscientious
hsht against oppression and wrong have
always found an asylum on our shores
But the anarchist is not waging an honest
fight against oppression and wrong. He is
no more worthy of consideration than is
the cut-throat who murders for gain He
Is as much the enemy Of American institu-
tons as he is the enemy of kings and en-
perOrs. He is opposed 10 restrictive gov
erEment in any form.
1t behOoves the authorities to be on the
watch for these people. When Europe gets
too hot for them they will surely head this
way. We should be as jealous in our eff
forts 10 keep them out as we would be to
keep out the cholera or any other deadly
plague.

Figures made public by the treasury bu
reau Of statistics give an excellent idea OF
the extent 10 which American manufacture
ers are invading the foreign markets. Dur
Ing the month Of July last more than one
third Of all the exports from the United
States consisted of manufactured goods
This IS a gratifying. and in many ways
surprising, condition Of affairs In no pre-
reding month or year in the history of the
country have our manufactures made up
so large a proportion of our exports, and
compared with decade ago it would seem
that they have more than doubled. Few
people realize how amazingly we have de-
velcped along these lines of recent years.
and for that reason this latest official state
ment from the treasury is of special value
and interest.
While great advances have unquestion-
ably been made. there is an opportunity
yet for still greater development Among
the causes which have combined to bring
US forward in the list of producing nations
the good work of the United States con-
sular service deserves more than passing
notice. While we maintain no permanent
service. in the sense that European coun-
tries do. yet we have been unusually, per-
bans undAsHrvedly. fortunate in the fact

4 just Estimate,

At the republican state convention in
New Jersey yesterday the Attorney Cen
erdl delivered q speech which should be
carefully read by every American. 1t was
full of the spirit of the times, and thor
ougnly expressive of the national senti-
ment On the question of expansion. We
have, indeed, entered upon new era that
brings with it new duties and new re-
sponsibilities, but Mr.. Griggs is one of
those wholesome broad-minded Americans
who believe that we as a nation are capa-
bic of rising to the emergency. In his adj
dress he said:
And so this nation enters upon a new
era. Do not doubt that she will be equal
to the responsibility. L believe in the ca
pacity of Americans to govern-to govern
themselves and 10 govern others. l set up
no dogma of infallibility, but. expecting
mistakes and delay and disappointment l
believe that the boundless capacity and the
splendid courage of America, with her high
sense of justice, her appreciation of the
rights of man. will in the new duties placed
upon us work out marvellous good for the
peoples that have come under our guardian
ship and greater glory for our country"
Words like these need no comment Mr.
Griggs believes in what he said and the
people of the United States, with very few
exceptions, think that he spoke the truth.

will sit at the table with them are, like
themselves, of high reputation and in every
way easily competent for the important

will at once satisfy it's curiosity about the
conduct of the war with Spain and assist
in the formulation of better laws and regu-
lations for the future
The Presidents critics are disappointed

excellent commission.

1t is of thin, light brown material. The
coat is comfortable and a little loose, and
bears the badges of a general and the cords
of the guards. The trousers are tight-fit-
ting, and have broad red stripes, and are
worn with high yellow boots. The scab-
bard of the saber is of brown leather. The
light-colored helmet is adorned with the
Prussian eagle in front.
When William the Young gets into the
