American Diplomacy.

I make no claim that our diplomatic
service is perfect or that all American
foreign ministers have been saints or
sagee. Sometimes we have had ineffi-
cient, sometimes timid, shuffling men,
but what General Woodford said of
himself was the record of his col
leagues: when your minister reach
ed Spain he was absolutely direct ana
frank in his dealings"
In scholarly culture our diplomatic
representatives have surpassed those cf
any other land. No foreign country
has summoned to it's service such a
host of historians, political economists,
poets, orators, journalists and educat-
ors of every. class.
Any discussion of this subject is in
complete which does not recognize the
| ability in diplomacy displayed by the
officers of our navy-in 1915, Decatur
in Algiers; in 1854, Perry in the Gulf Ct
| Yeddo in 1867. Farragut in his Euro
pean visit on the flagship Franklin; in
| 1898, Dewey in Manila bay
| The American diplomatist lives in
| glass house, where he may not only be
seen, but stoned. The European diplo-
matist still inhabits a half-medieval
castle, almost impregnable to criticism
and difficult of access, except by the
privileged few.
am well aware that many are clam
orous for the adoption of the European
| system of diplomacy. Does American
| diplomacy offer only an uncertain title
| and promise nothing of real accomp-
| lishment? The immensely of its
| achievement covers the whole 10Th CEN
| fury of international law.

of neutrals to be reorganized by every
civilized state. Now it is building the
SCaffolding for achievement no less
great-the exemption of private proper
ty from capture on sea as it is exempt

Foraker Walked Them Up.

independence of the Philippines
neither the president nor any enc in
this chamber
These words were part of the
speech on the annexation question,
which was delivered yesterday in the
senate by Mr.. Foraker of Ohio. The
press report of the speech says that
Mr.. Foraker was emphatic in his an
nouncement; it adds that the words
produced a marked sensation.
We can believe it. What Mr.. Fora
ker said was news and it was cf 4
character that would very naturally
attract sharp attention. 1t took some
of the oldest republicans in the senate
by surprise--Mr. Hoar among than.
In fact, Mr.. Hoar hardly knew how to
take Mr.. F'oraker's statement about
the president The venerable senator
from Massachusetts instantly wanted

"What&of the statement about haul

he drew out was satisfactory or not to
Mr.. Hoar, it prompted Mr.. Foraker

Things were right lively in the SEN

Fool Talk.

- Is not chiefly in Helena that effort
is being made to spread the predic-
ton that w. A. Clark will "have
the pull" with the grand jury that is to
take into consideration the bribery ex-
posures in the legislature. Mr.. Clark
has fool hackers who have whispered
that bit of gossip in Helena, but they
have talked it louder in other towns
in Butte for instance.
The story is an indecent fling at the
quality and character of the men who
will compose the grand jury. 1t is just
such a report as the Clark floor walk
ers might naturally be expected to
start on it's rounds: it is a fitting COM
panion-piece for the braggart talk
which everybody heard last week, to
the effect that Clark had it all fixed
and that he would be elected, for a GER
tainty, on the first ballot in the separ-
ate houses. That was the ballot re-
corded on Monday when Clark scored
seven votes all told.
No friend of an honest. searching, i'm
partial and fearless investigation into
the charges and living proofs of bribery
is permitting himself to indulge in any
predictions as to the outcome of the
grand jury's work. Such predictions
slur citizenship and insult the court it.
self. Very naturally, men who have
followed the evidence and read the les
timony that was laid before the two
houses have strong convictions as to
the question of the guilt or the inno-
cence Of the accused men. Intelligent
citizens have full right to hold these
opinions, whichever way their views
run.
But boastful predictions that the jury
will certainly be with Clark are an en-
tirely different proposition. Such pre-
dictions have been made, and. as we
have said, the men who make them are
fool heelers-W. A. Clark has surplus
of those who answer that description.

politics is not deemed by any demo-
cratic leader as an utterance that will
pass, in any sense, as oracular. Thus
it happens that the recent pronounce
ment of the boss, in favor of the ex-
pansion policy and in the announce
ment that the free coinage issue is
dead, is Immediately dismissed by all
of the democratic party's real leaders
as a passing observation of local boss
which is neither here nor there and
which settles nothing.
The only mission of Mr., Crokers talk
is to let the men who are guiding the
democratic party know that Mr.. Gro
ker is not for silver. They knew that
before. The only difference is that, last
autumn, when he was very anxious to
win the state election in New York,
Mr.. Croker was afraid to let his anti
silver opinions find a place in the New
York democratic platform. He had be-
fore his eyes the figures showing that
in the state of New York, in 1893, in a
total poll of about 100000 votes, Bry-
ans vote was 551 ,000-a remarkable
showing when it is remembered that,
down, the New York democratic lead
ers were opposed to Bryan. The demo-
cratic party knew, the moment it nomi-
mated Bryan, that all it's campaign
plans must eliminate New York. That
known fact did not deter the demo-
cracy of the national convention in
1896; it will not be permitted to block
silver's onward march in 1900.
Of course, Mr.. Crokers recent mani
festo was grabbed up by the newspaper
reporters as the basis for interviews
with prominent democrats" These
interviews were unhesitatingly fur
nshed. Said Senator Jones, chairman
of the democratic national committee:
'The national democratic committee
does not have to go ITO Mr.. Croker for
advice or counsel. Mr.. Cookers vision
on the silver question does not extend
beyond the city of New York. The
gentlemen who are now pronouncing
eulogies over the death of free silver
| may possibly be disappointed when the
| next national democratic convention
meets"
Others talked. Senator Money said
| that he did not regard Mr.. Croker
competent to advise the senate of the
J United States on any question" Sena-
tor McLaurin and several other demo-
cratic senators, who were interviewed,
| expressed their devotion to the cause
of free silver and predicted that it will
be the leading issue in the next ma
tional campaign. Congressman Coch-
rane, of Missouri, put what he had to
| say in these words: Il think very lit
tile of Mr. Croker He is fit to manu-
facture aldermen for New York, but
for nothing beyond. I don't want9to in
dorse any platform written by man
east of the Allegheny mountains, or
vote for any candidates east of the
mountains unless they favor more
night schools and fewer bosses

ton to the faith cure practice in this

"You are hereby requested to direct
the assistant sanitary superintendents
of the various boroughs of this city to
use all means in their power to discover
and locate persons practicing medicine
without dio 'omas. Recent events have
shown THU J. department. that uneducat-
ed, ignorant and those whom ! believe

that they are endowed with wonderful

lowed to proceed. great evil Will result.

method to adopt or receive their COM
munications in writing and afterWard

MOLINEUX STILL IN JAIL.



the Poisoning Cnte.
New York, May l2.-Roland b. Moli-
neuv IS still in his cell in the Tombs.
and his lawyer, Barlow S, Weeks has
taken no steps to release him. The bail
of $40, 900 set by Justice Jerome has
been vacated by the action of the jus
tice in holding Molineux for the grand
jury on the charge of assault in the
first degree. That placed the case out
Of Justice Jerome's jurisdiction.
1t is now before the court of general
sessions, and If Mr. Weeks wants to get
his client out on bail he will have to 60
into that court and ask that bail be
fixed, He has said that he Will not ask
for bail. The reason for this is an
parent. The grand jury must needs
take up all prison cases first. Were
MolineuX out on bail, the grand jury
would not have to take up his case un-
til after it had considered all prison
cases.
1t is believed that Mr.. Weeks will ask
the supreme court for a writ of habeas
corpus and that he will ask either in
that court or in the court of general
sessions for an order compelling the
district attorney to show cause why the
case should not be presented to the
grand Jury al once. Mr.. Weeks main
stay is that the present grand jury
which dismissed the complaint of MUIR
der will also take up the charge of as
sault and dismiss It,
In that event the district attorney
may have MolineuX arrested on the
charge of numbering Henry C. Barnet
At any rate. it is believed that from
this time on the case will develop into
long drawn out fight between the dis
trtct attorney and Mr.. Weeks.
