the old one. or course the retiring min
istry retains its grasp of affairs pending
the selection of it's successor, but the bus
mess of the government is held in statu
quo. There is no progress, no real work.
The case is the more disquieting because
France is today beset by many domestic
enemies, the royalists trying to foist one
of their favorites upon the nation, the an
ti-revisionist5 trying to prevent the con-
summation of justice. the reactionaries
seeking to tear down the republic in the
name of a variety of doctrines. A lapse in
the function of the government at such a
5uncture would encourage these factors for
unrest to renew their agitations.
1t is TO be assumed that the premier will
soon be found who can make the requisite
combination of ministers. The hiatus can
not continue forever. Fortunately no press
ing international question is now pending

one side. The Beers, anxious about their
government and their homes. are yet
stumbling blocks in the way Of progress.
The English, too eager and inconsiderate
maybe to draw a line entirely just, have
yet claims upon the Beers for rights and
privileges which are denied. The result Is
a state of affairs which only a wise and
temperate treatment may successfully
reach.
What have the Beers to promise themselves
from war with themselves as the agrees
sors? They are brave enough. They fight
we'll and die well. But they are no match
in power OF numbers for the English. They
could not in such circumstances promise
themselves an outside champion. What
power could afford to espouse their cause?
Not Germany-no combination would be
possible between the kaiser and Kruger.
So that, if invited into the field, England
would speedily crush so feeble an antago-
mist.
The Beers owe a good and liberal gov
eminent to all who live within their bor-
ders and especially to those who are really
the support of the government and who are
developing and enriching the country. To
the extent that they deny such government
they justly forfeit the sympathy of all who
love progress and fair play.

The District National Guard

The District of Columbia has reason to
be and is proud of its National Guard. in
war and in peace, in Cuban trenches and in
local parades and encampments. The SOL
dierly qualities of the officers and men
whom the District sent to Cuba have been
recognized and commended by the highest
military authorities. Sooner than in nearly
all, If not all of the states, the local Guard
has recovered from the disruption of its or
ganiZa ton due to the war. The inevitable
post-bellum reaction worked itself out witch
comparatively slight damage here and the
organizations turnout in numbers and its
showing in discipline and sOldierly bearing
in the escort parade to Arlington and in the
IeeSburg encampment have been credbtable
in the highest degree. The DEVELOPMENT of
order from the war chaos in the Guard by
the commanding general and his capable
assistants has been somewhat retarded by
covert opposition from outside the organiza-
ton, which has taken shape in misrepresen-
tations concerning the numbers and condi-
ton Of the guardsmen and concerning their
soldierly discipline. and which has attempt

The Patriotic West.

The dlspatch from San Francisco, signeu
by Senator Perkins and ex-senator " hlte'
rendering to the government on the part
Of southern California "a wel-organizeo
and thoroughly disciplined regiment OF IN
fantry'' for service in the Philippines makes
exceedingly agreeable reading. These gen.
tIemen. il is evident. are personally III SYM
patty with the spirit of the offering and
thereby hangs tale.
No two senators more earnestly opposed
expansion as that question related to the
Philippines than Messrs. Perkins ana
White. The one a republican and the other
a democrat. they yet stood together as
against the appearance of the United States
as a power in that quarter of the globe
Mr. White for that matter. had opposed
every step that had led up to the problem.
But. all the time. the people of California
were in favor of American control of the
archipelago
When the time approached for the Senate
to vote on the treaty with Spain the Cali
fOrnfa legislature instructed the two sem
ators from the state to support the treaty
Mr.. Perkins accepted the instructions and
obeyed them. Mr.. White. who was marked
for retirement from office at the close of
the Senate's session, disregarded them, and
held to his individual opinion. The vote on
the treaty was close, and Mr.. Perkins
support was highly important in the prem
ises.
But that chapter is closed. Messrs. Per-
kins and White-the one still in office and
the other now in private Hfe-look at the
matter at this time in the light of the
greatly altered circumstances. The Philip
pine Islands are American territory. Amer
lean authority there must be asserted and
maintained. 1t Is no longer question of
extending American boundaries, but of up
holding the prestige of the country. And
they. in a way highly creditable to them as
following their former position, range them
selves with those who are endeavoring to
make complete the American control of the
Philippines.
The people of the west are all alive to the
emergency. The little populistic clatter of
protest and complaint which was at one
time heard in Minnesota and the Dakotas
has entirely died away, and the only note
heard now west of the Mississippi is that
of encouragement for the country in it's
difficulties and duties.

Transvaal War News.

To accept the war news from the Transvaal
at its face value is to believe that the
Beers have lost their wits. They are slow
and an obstinate people. but not without
cunning or the instincts Of self-preserva-
ton. 1t does not seem likely that they are
preparing to rush to destruction. And that
would almost certainly be their fate were
they TO take the aggressive and appeal to
arms against England.
When. several years ago. this question of
the Transvaal first became acute outside

the one side appeared a people of simple
habits contending for their homes: on the
other side colony of pushing men, led by
an empire-builder. The world at large did
not go into the controversy TO any depth.

Emperor Williams Imperious Pose.

1t is possible to believe that Emperor
Williams attitude toward the arbitration
proposals of the peace conference is intend
I'D as stage play of the sort of which it
is known that the emperor is particularly
fond. He has given signs Of weakening
in his arbitrary rejection of the mediation
proposition. He has received his own dele
gate and one of the American representa-
uves in special conference on the subject
Meanwhile he has flung a metaphor to the
world to characterize the imperial indie
pendence of the German people. He has
managed to divert attention from the de-
hberations of the conference at The Hague
to himself, anu he now stands squarely in
front o. the fOot-lights serene in the knowI-
edge that the eyes of the world are upon
him. This is altogether characteristic of
William II.
One would have to accuse Emperor Will
lam OF an entire lack of common sense to
accredit him with a hope to continue for
ever the doctrines of medievaiism which
he at times so strongly asserts. 1t is far
more probable that in the present case he
is preparing to initiate the value of his
final acquiescence in some scheme of arbI-
tration, by appearing ready in the begin
ming to withhold his consent to the plan
and to block 1t.

The Governor of Washington Declines

The Governor of Washington Declines
Gov. Rogers of Washington has declined
the invitation of Gov. Sayers of Texas to
participate In the forthcoming conference
as to trusts. He says in his letter OF
declination.
1T has occurred to me in this connection
that many people are advocating state con-
troll of trusts with insincerity, thinking in
this way to pass through the next national
campaign with safety TO themselves, feel
ing sure that whatever state legislation may
be enacted which will really curb the power
of trusts will eventually be declared uncon-
stftutional by the United States Supreme
Court With those who thus and for that
purpose advocate state legislation regard
ing trusts L can have no sympathy, and
am bound to believe. too that legislative
action which seeks to control the formation
and management of trusts will prove in
efeCtual.'
This attitude on the part of the governor
of Washington is to be regretted, even
though his assumption that much of the
present agitation of the trust problem is
for political effect is justifiable. The confer
ence, if generally participated in by all the
governors. without reference to their politi-
cal leanings, would have a strictly nom
partisan character, and it's conclusions
would be the more valuable in consequence.
There should be no national issue over the
trust question. 1t is strictly matter for
state enactments 1t might in season cause
a readjustment of the political lines within
state boundaries, but in it's present phase 1t
is far from assuming the character iof an
issue before all the people on partisan lines.
Gov. Rogers believes that all state efforts
to solve the trust problem will fail. This
attitude would be. explainable on the as
sumption that the governor of Washington
is a friend of the trusts. He quits before he
fights. He has no confidence in the capacity
of the people to provide against an evil, or
in the ability of the legislatures to devise
enactments which will stand the scrutiny of
the courts. The selfish purposes of those
who are today decrying the trusts solely
for the bolstering up of weak political
causes will be the more surely subseryed by
the absence from the proposed conference
of the men who are sincerely opposed to the
trusts, without regard to their craftsmanship
Even those governors who are opposed to
the antitrust propaganda ought to con-
tribute their views. For the republican
governors to absent the mselves from the
meeting will be to make possible the claim
that their party is defending the trusts The
situation, therefore. calls for the fullest at
tendance and the freest discussion, as far
removed as possible from partisan lines and
based solely upon the clear necessity for
action.

Not an Accurate Statement.
From the New York Journal of Commerce

From the New York Journal of Commerce.
Mr.. Havemeyers characterization of the
tariff as the mother of all trusts" is not
strictly accurate. IL may be admitted that
the artificial stimulus given to industrial
production by high protective tariff
created conditions of Improbable compete
ton. which it was the purpose of the trust
system to correct. In 50 far as articles
subject to trust regulation are protected by
high import duties. the tariff undoubtedly
serves to exclude foreign competition, and
so assists the trusts in retaining the con-
troll of prices in the home market But the
tariff has not the slightest bearing on the
recent great combinations in the iron and
steel industry, nor would the repeal of the
whole iron and steel schedule of duties
tend ir the least to weaken these combi-
nations. The great original trust-the
Standard Oil Company--is quite independ-
ent of the tariff; so is the tobacco trust the
cotton seed combination, the copper syn
dictate. the ear trusts and number of
others. In short, while a revision of the
tariff could be so effected as to abridge the
opportunities for creating a monopoly in
certain manufactured articles it would not
seriously affect the trust system as a
whole.
