The London Saturday Review. with an
eve on the anti-expanis onists over here,
says

Americans retire from their self-appointed
task. the great republic must take the
brand of coward as well as the brand OF
Cain, with which Lowell declared 1t to be
marked
The Review need not worry. The brand
of coward" will not be written across the
American brow. And that brand of Cain
was visible only to Mr.. LOwelrs pOetical
eye. He did not approve of the Mexican
war. But he young and an inexpe-

ness in time and became man of sane
and practical and robust views about the
duties of men and of nations He was
proud to hold the commission Of his cOun-
try, and served the government with sue
cess in more than one important post. The
brand of Cain had faded from his later
view-or else he grew to be proud of his
country brand and all.
These American politicians who are nag

it is nothing but talk. They well under

he were in the White House would not or

VIII Mr.. Bailey Reconsider.

What effect. if any, will Mr.. Reeds with
drawal from the House have on the contest
for the minority leadership of that body?
hen Mr.. Bailey announced last winter
that he was out of the running three can
ditiates came instantly to the front-Nr.
Bankhead, Mr.. Richardson and Judge De
Almond. Each has developed strength. but
50 far none appears 10 have any conspicu-
Gus advantage to boast OF over his rivals.
All of them are excellent and capable men.
But 1T is anybodyS race as yet. and Mr.
Reeds action may cut a figure in the cal
cuiations, especially as the democrats con-
slider that the republicans Will lose heavily
by it. In their judgment there is nobody
TO take Mr.. Reeds place Of force sufficient
to dominate the scene. and hence the op-
por;uuity for effective work by the minority
l. improved
Ar. Bailey, Notwithstanding his announce
ment, is still the choice Of many Of his
party friends for leader. His admirers are
among the younger and more aggressive
men They regard him as easily the minor
tvs best speaker. its best pariamentariln.
and its best fighter. They aCknl Wedge his
intrnities Of temper. but assert that he Is
gradually getting himself better IN hard
and that that objection will soon re COM
pleteiy eliminated 1t is very likely, too.
that these men will now insist pore strenu-
ousiy than ever on their favori,e, and bring
enough pressure to bear on him to induce
him L" reconsider his decision and stand for
the honor
Whether selection for minority leader of
the House would help or hurt Mr. Bailey's
candidacy for the Senate is a question. He
will oppose Mr.. Chiffon. whose term ex-
pres in 1901 His popularity in Texas is
said 20 be very great; and ds it is founded
upon his franknesS and agerressi-e1.,,Ss. ard
as the minority leader II the next House
Will have abundant opportunity to exer-
else both Of those qualities. Mr. Bailey in
that place might add TO his chances for
securing the senat0rship. At any rate. he
Is a very interesting man, ami the snap and
20 Of the next House will be Increased in
proportion as he is prominent in the pro-
Ceedings.

less hopes to restore whatever degree of
prestige she may have lost with the natives
as a result of the complications in which
she has been opposed by the American and
English interests. Were the dispatch of the
Gefion to be considered in any manner
warlike maneuver. 1t would be relatively
easy for this government to assemble
squadron at Apia of such size that all dan
ger of undue German strength would be
overcome. Manila Is about the same dis
lance from Samoa as the latter group is
from San Francisco. Admiral Dewey could
readily spare a few of his staunch fighters
for run down into the southeastern por
ton of the great archipelago of the Pa
cific in case 1t should become desirable or
wise TO send reinforcements to Admiral
kautz. But it is not a matter of fighting
just now. There is no sugges ton of war in
the air, inasmuch as the powers have met
upon friendly basis of negotiation

England, France and Italy.

Recent events in the Mediterranean sug
gest that France is coquetting with Italy.
Slightly less recent events in China indi-
Gated clearly that England and Italy were
then united in some degree of co-opera ton.
Still more remote happenings in Africa
brought England and France into threat
ening relationship. Does this series of in
cidents mean that the advances which
France is now making to Italy are inspired
by recOllectiOns of FaShoda? This question
is now agitating Europe. mildly yet. but
with promise of becoming an important
issue Italy's position in Europe is not
one of marked strength. Her reverses in
Africa a few years ago drained her treas
ury and weakened her prestige abroad. Her
inability hesitation to follow up her de-
mands upon China. even with the assurance
of England's aid, further decreased her
standing as a power. Nevertheless she re-
mains a member of the triple alliance, with
Germany and Austria, and theoretically
must be reckoned with in all continental
complications. This relationship might at
one time have suggested that Frances
OStentatious friendliness toward her was
inspired by the traditional French hatred
of Germany. Indeed, it is asserted In some
quarters now that France is in fact work.
ing with this factor in mind, seeking per-
haps to form new triple alliance with
England and Italy as partners. But the
Fashoda affair stands as objection to
this theory. That episode is believed to
have left deep scar on the French heart.
Not even the subsequent partition Of Afri-
ca. in which France Jared pretty well. has
offset the French pique at the peremptory
hating of Major Marchand and his return
from the Nile expedition. 1t seems ques-
fsa1y for
material aid in any program which she
may have in view. Almost well rnight
she look to Spain. 1t would rather seem to
be for moral effect that this filtration IS in
progress between the French and the Ital-
ian squadrons In the Mediterranean. Con-
tinental politics are VIGOROUSLY inscrutable.
Many moves are made which are at the
time beyond Interpretation. but which are
part of elaborate schemes. The general
tendency in Europe is to accentuate the
isolation of England. to remove all her con-
tinental props and leave her entirely alone
ing ally. Germany is even less friendly
lust now than usual owing to the misun-
Outstanding in Samoa and the friendship
which has developed between England and
the United States. If it be Frances pur-
pose to withdraw Italy from her English
other and more fdr-reaching plans are in
hand which may affect the general situa-
ton with respect both to Europe and Asia.

different footing from that Of the Mantle
Allen and Beckwith cases of 1893. Notwith-
standing this more favorable presenta ton
the Senate voted. 80 to -. against seating
Corbetf thus renewing the precedent which
had been formally established in 1925 and
which had stood unbroken until 1919. Mr..
quay was paired against Mr. Corbett. Each
Senate is judge of its membership. 1t may
construe the laws and presidents as it
pleases. Its decisions can not be questioned
There is, of course nothing to prevent the
seating of Mr.. Quay if a majority of the
Senate so votes. But precedent is, rs a rule
reverently regarded by the upper house
No particular political conditions prevail
now to operate for or against Mr.. Quay's
admission The party margin is large and
can not be affected materially by any ac-
ton which might be taken, even though
success for the applicant in the PennsyI-
vania case We're to encourage the governors
of Delaware, California and Utah to follow
suit with appointments. Nor are personal
considerations likely to become influential
for members of the Senate fully understand
that 1t is dangerous to break long standing
customs for individual purposes, as the vio-
lations thus invoked may become plaques in
later years. There can be no general
change in the membership of the Pennsyl-
vania legislature until the election in 1900
when all Of the representatives and part of
the senators will be chosen. The next regu-
lar session will not be held until January
1901. So that unless Mr.. Quay is to pin his
faith upon the questionable chance of re-
versai Of the Sehates ruling upon the recess
appointment principle, or prefers to wait
until another general election has taken
place the legislature which has just ad-
jcurned without choosing his successor is
his only reliance. To secure an election
from this body it must be called together in
special session. 1t may be that the govern
or's appointment is part of program which
has for its ultimate purpose the assembling
of the legislature after the lessons of the
events of the winter and spring have been
allowed to impress themselves upon the
minds of the members.

The Duty Required of Us,
From the Dallas News.


In pursuing duty the time has come when
the United States must definitely take its
place in the parliament of man the fed
Grafton of the world" and the result of a
refusal would be fatal to national progress
When we are children we think as chill
dren: when we become men we put aside
childish things. The United States has
reached maturity; it cannot escape its
share of the worlds burdens with credit to
itself. 1t cannot put aside this burden
without grave danger to itself and the most
serious injustice to those whom it, in the
present instance. has decided to help In
the end the blessings will surely outweigh
all the losses of treasure and OF life on
both sides, and the work of justice and
civilization will go bravely on.

One of the Great Papers of the COun-

From the Davenport Qowa) Democrat
The Washington Star has grown from a
very humble start in March, 1852, to be one
of the great papers of the country, metro
politan and up-to-date. Its jubiate is be-
ing sung now because it is on the eve
of the erection of a handsome nfne-story,
cut stone building, 52x127 feet in area and
fitted up as model newspaper office. The
Star IS one Of the newspapers of America
that are read with interest whenever found,
and quoted with frequency on all occasions.
