UNCLE SAM DECLINES A SLICE.

Minneapolis Tribune: That Chinese is a
hot and indigestible mixture and Uncle Sam
will be wise to keep his fingers out of it
and the pie out Of his system. He has some
pastry of his own that needs attention any
how.
Buffalo Express: For one motive or an.
other the powers of Europe are reckoning
this nation to engage in the scramble. Is
it principally because the consent of the
United States would seem to remove the
faint of spoliation from the proceeding"
The temptation may be strong, but even the
taking of the Philippines does not yet turn
our heads. The administration offers no
countenance to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China
and the people approve the decision.
Detroit Free Press: SHALL the United
States join in the spoliation? Count Cassini,
the Russian ambassador at Washington,
speaking from his country's standpoint,
says: I'VE are wondering what our great
neighbor to the west, the United States, will
do in this emergency" If the United States
adheres to its traditional policy, following
the counsels of its greatest and wisest men,
1t will not need to do anything. Europe
will be allowed to play out it's game of land
grabbing alone. while America turns Its at
tention to methods less brutal for the ad-
vancement of its interests.

RISK OF 4 CRASH.
Enormous sums Invested in Inflated
Industrial Securities.

j hlldhtlllllld 4 Us
In two months this year there have been
placed on the (, market, the New York
Financial Chronicle shows, S1,04S, $780, 900 OF
industrial or new trust securities. This
does not include $4O3, 900, 900 in various
projects, planned, started, often organized,
but not completed.
These issues, made in only Two months,
put on the market and sold to the public,
are larger in the aggregate than all the in
dustrial securities hoated in all of 1898,
which were in all 1916, 176, 900. These issues
in two months are greater than all the list
ings, shares and bonds together, made in any
year on the New York Stock exchange, ex-
cept one.
In two months OF one particularly risky
class Of security, valued and organized on
a new basis, whose future cannot be pre-
dicted, the American investor has been
asked to take more in sixty days than he
has before taken in a year OF all securities,
including the soundest The peril Of this
sort of thing Is plain. The end Is inevitable.
These vast, swollen, oyer-capitalizations
may be kept at their present prices for a
season, but a day of reckoning Is sure to
come. Their management Is not open TO
investigation. Those who control them are
making money now by marketing them at
a high price, and when that is done there
will be just as much money for inside man
ayers In breaking the price.
Nothing can be clearer than that these
securities do not offer the proper field for
the small investor or for small savings
The craze for them will pass. as have all
other like lunacies.

CHOOSE TRAINED MEN.
Places from Which Political once
should he Barred.

ST. Louis Republic (dem)
There Is sound common sense in the re-
ported determination Of the administration
to supersede army officers with civilians in
the present American government of Cuba.
The change is one that should be made in
Porto Rico as well, and also in the Philip
pines at the earliest practicable moment.
But, in the choice OF these civilian ad-
ministrators, the politician should be barred.
There must be no carpetbag regime in this
country's new possessions. Pending the day
when the Cuban republic itself shall become
an accomplished fact; permanently in Porto
Rico, and Professionally in the Philippines
until the problem of this governments con-
troll of those islands shall have been
definitely solved. men trained in admins
trative work should be selected, regardless
of their political affiliations.
Men OF this class are to be found in the
governmental departments in Washington.
They are familiar with many phases Of the
work that will await them as admins
traitors. They have the necessary knowledge
OF International diplomacy. They are free
from the rasping and unyielding disciplinary
spirit Of the army officer. In every respect
they are vastly superior to the low-grade
politician, whose combination Of ignorance
and Indifference would be sure to prove ex-
ceedingly costly to this government,
II is from among the better class Of these
governmental department men that the ad-
ministration should select the material for
the civilian management of Cuban, Porto
Rlcan and Filipino affairs. Training and
ability should constitute the test of fitness,
| IL this country is not to be Inundated in its
new departure.

CUBAN s~aUABHLEs.

Kansas City Star: The Cuban assembly
is doing more to hold back cuban indepeud.
ence than it ever did to attain freedom.
Globe Democrat BY its attempt to i'm
peach and remove General Gomez the So
called Cuban assembly has merely directed
attention to the fact that 1t has no power
to act and no warrant for claiming to rep
resent the people of the island.
Chicago Tribune: 1t might be we'll for
the Cuban military assembly, which has i'm
peached Gomez, chiefly because he agreed
to accept 5000, 900 for Cuban soldiers, to be
certain in their premises before proceeding
further. General Gomez, backed by the
United States army, might prove to be a
majority after all.
Brooklyn Eagle: The Cuban army con-
tains 8 $4,000 privates and 16, 900 officers and
subalterns. All Of them demand pay from
the United States, and likewise food, and
likewise an immediate release from Ameri-
can authority, but considering their invisl-
bility in war should the officers draw any
higher salary than the privates? Gomez
says that most of the officers were appointed
for bravery. Where?
Chicago Chronicle: 1t is quite to the
credit Of the astute and thrifty Maxine
Gomez that he declines to have anything to
do with the so-called Cuban assembly pend
ing the payment to himself and his troops
of the $1,000 600 guaranteed by the United
States. The assembly called upon Maxine
to explain and Maxine ignores the re.
quest. In this Maxine displays worldly
wisdom. TIL Cuban assembly may some
day be a powerful body; just now 1t can
do nothing but pass resolutions. The
United States government, on the other
hand, is a solvent institution, and 3 1000, 900
is not to be sneezed at. After Maxine has
received American currency in payment OF
his little bill it will be we'll enough for him
to defer to the wishes of the assembly. In
the meantime he will merely be acting with
ordinary prudence by keeping on good terms
with the paymaster. MaXimo's residence in
Cuba was not undertaken solely for the
benefit of his health.

THE CHINESE PUZZLE.

The diplomatic representatives ut
interests in China are said to be en-
tirely satisfied with the position which
this government has taken respecting
Chinese affairs. one of them is quoted
as saying that the answer of the United
States to Italy, was a brilliant stroke OF
diplomacy, but it appears that the atti-
tude of our government is interpreted as
being really favorable to Italy's effort
to secure an important concession from
the Chinese government. We noted a
few days ago that the Chinese minister
had in an interview declared his great
qualification at the course of the United
States, saying that it would be regard.d
by his government as Il renewed aSSur
ance Of friendship and good will. but
the European diplomat nuOted in The
dispatches expressed the view that
while our position could give no offensc
to China it offers to that empire notE-
ing, not even moral influence, by way
of protection against European demands.
In other words, the good will toward
China has no significance or yalNe so far
rs that empire is concerned, though cur
position means much for the European
powers having designs on China, since
it assures them that ithis country will
interpoSe no obstacle to the carrying out
of their designs.
Thus the Chinese minister and the
diplomatic representatives of Euro
pean powers having interests in China
are all pleased with the POSITION of this
country, although differing as to what
the position really means and our gov.
eminent is cordially commended by all,
which certainly ought TO be satisfactory
to ourselves. Meanwhile the Chinese
puzzle continues TO present perpleXing

Our amiable local contemporary is
playing cuttlefish again. When asked
why it has remained as dumb as an
oyster about making the Office of clerk
of the district court a salaried position
in the face Of the fact that the demo
cratic platform expressly demanded
this very change, it sheds its dark fluid
by intimating that the republicans cN.
pect to be beaten this fall and want TO
cut down the pay Of a democratic sue
ccssor to the present republican incum-
bent. That version may be satisfactory
to the gang, but the question still re-
mains unanswered, whether its silence
had anything to do with the notorious
fact that over $4,000 was distributed
two years ago among those supposed
to WELD influence with fusionists to
keep the fusion legislature from com
plying with the demand of the demo-
cratic platform.
