is now stated in Washington with such
pos,tiveness as to suggest Its truth that
the Presidents position Upon the sub
tect is that he will not offer mediat ton
unless both parties to the contest ask
for it, bu. that he will do SO If both
par,ics make the request.
This is. 10 say the least, harmless
view OF the case. When Great Britain
asks Mr.. mckinley to intervene it will
be wholly in order for him to do it. But
when that day arrives it may be safely
anticipated that the foundations of the
British Empire will have been pulled
from under the fabric, and its topping
fall will be visible TO all eyes.
Mr.. Mckinley has done many admira-
bic things since he has been President,
but he has never failed TO manifest
the politicians tendency to trim his
sails to every breeze whenever embar-
raising questions have confronted him.
In no case has Nle manifested this dis
position more strikinsly than in this.
He knows this country has nothing
whatever to do with the war in South
Africa, and that there would be no more
propricty in our suggesting to England
some local regulation for Kent county
than in our offering to mediate between
her and the Burghers. Instead of MAX
ing this answer to the emotional people
who would have him transgrcss every
rule Of propriety and make this coun-
try the laughing stock of all sensible
men, he tcmporizes with the agitation
by the puerilc reply that he will inter-
vene when both sides ask for his inter
vention. That IS, Of course, only an
other form of saying this country could
not think of Offering mediation because
it would be violation Of every Drin-
ciple of the neutrality that is our duty.
but why has he not the maniiness and
the 1irmness to say this at once as be-
comes tho President Of the United
States?
ton as President, we sincerely hope he
will have done with his politicians
shuffles and lodges. He is a man OF
most excellent heart and disposition, and
popular as he undoubtedly is. he would
become infinitely more popular if he fol-
lowed the instincts of his better nature
and put all politicians arts and wiles
behind him.

THAT is the rope with which the peo-
