WEAKNESS AND RIGHT.

We suppose 1t is pretty generally agreed that
might alone does not make right Some heather
tribes without the law may still cling to the
doctrine of force. Some more or less arbitrary
Powers may practise 1t without processing to
believe in 1t or attempting to defend it. But, put
TO the question, President and King, Emperor
and Gar, will all declare that 1t is right that
makes might. and not might that makes right
And that profession of faith is well made, for it
is the gist and the essence Of centuries Of polit
ical and social and ethical progress. 1t is the
recognition of moral force as a factor in human
affairs. 1t is the general application of the spe-
cfc thou shalt nots" of that part of the Deca-
logue which treats of human relationships.
But what of the converse? That "the king
can do 10 wrong we now deny. Can the sub
ject do no wrong? Might does not constitute
right we are agreed Does weakness constitute
right? Is the under dog always entitled to SYM
pathy, just because he Is the under dog? Serl-
ously, one might think so, from the arguments
and appeals that from time to time put
forth. Mr. Gladstone once described the I'M
speakable monsters of Madhism "brave men
struggling to be free" They were inferior to
the British in and in military skill, and
therefore pictured the victims of the
unjust oppression of a stronger Power So men
dwell upon the weakness of the Tagal bandits
Who with primitive weapons ana nall clad, are
perssting in an unequal conflict with the vast
power Of the United States. How weak they
are, And therefore how wicked it must be to
subdue them! The same plea is once more put
forth for the Boers-whom we have. of course
no thought of wronging by CHASING them with
the Dervishes and Tagas. The commonest plea
in their behalf is that they are few and weak,
and are fighting against a Power that is great
in numbers and strong in resources; wherefore
they must be in the right.
Now, the fact is that such an argument is
every whit as false the former one, which we
have repudiated To say that the weaker party
in conflict is necessarily in the right just be-
cause he is the weaker is false and as un-
reasonable to say that the stronger party
must be in the right because he is the stronger
IF strength does not constitute right, neither
does lack of strength. The fact is, right and
wrong are qualities entirely apart from strength
and weakness. They have no more relation to
them than mans religion has to the color Of
his hair. The biggest and strongest nation in
the world-and the aggressor too in a conflict
may be in the right, and the smallest and weak
est, and the against which the aggression is
directed may be In the wrong. That is fact
which is not always kept in mind but it is
nevertheless fact, without recognition of
which there can be no just judgment of the
affairs of nations.

THE CONGO-GERN4N BOTND4RY.

The little dispute between the German Empire
and the Congo Free State arises over the differ
ence between an arbitrary and a natural boun-
dairy line. The line Of demarcation between the
Congo Free State and German East Africa was
arbitrarily drawn as a straight line from the
northern point Of Lake Tanganyika TO point
on the Both meridian Of longitude east at /
degree 20 minutes south latitude. 1t was sup
posed by both parties that Lake Kivu lay at
the east of that line and would thus be included
in the German territory, for at that time that
region had not been surveyed 1t has now been
ascertained, however, that Lake Kivu lies alto
gether west of that line. and consequently within
the Congo Free State. Therefore Germany
claims that the boundary should be changed so
as to conform with the intent of those who
fixed it aud TO run along the crest of the chain
of mountains just west of Lake Kivu.
That would mean the loss to the Congo Free
State and the gain to Germany of about three
thousand square miles Of rich and desirable ter
rftory. Naturally the Congo Free State is in
clined TO demur, and on the face of the treaty
may have pretty good case. If a man will
buy pig in a poke he should not complain if
the creature turns out TO be somewhat different
from what his fancy pictured it, That is TO
say, if a nation accepts a boundary line with
out having it surveyed 1t should not complain if
the actual survey places it elsewhere than it
expected. And yet there is n good deal 10 be
said on the other side of the case If man
buys pig in poke under an agreement with
the seller that II is TO be and that 1t in fact is
thus and so, he has a right to insist upon a
realization of those conditions; and if a nation
accepts boundary line on the condition that II
shall run in such or such a place it has reason
for demanding that ii shall he made to run
there.
1t is always desirable TO have boundary lines
coincide with natural lines of demarcation. such
as rivers or the crests of mountains In MANY
cases this cannot be done, because Of the alb
sence of such natural landmarks Then il is
desirable that they should follow indisputable

might be subject for debate, inasmuch as the
city already has its college and the normal and
high schools under its own control. Some argu-
ment might be made for preserving while assist
ing old foundation, though the example Of
the old corporation Of Erasmus Hall, In Flat
bush, in turning its property to the city, in
stead Of asking the city to assist it, is worthy Of
consideration. But there would seem to be
little reason for asking the city to devote valu-
able property to the building up almost from
the beginning of an institution in private hands
1t would seem to be better use for the East
Side Lands to keep them permanently for a
park than to devote them to school purposes
This tract is much neglected at present, and the
adjoining Prospect Park may seem big enough
But the city fills up the larger open space
will be needed and should be preserved. There
ought to be field for good well endowed
college in Brooklyn. and Adelphi College may
reasonably aspire to fill that place and ask for
the aid of public spirited citizens in securing
adequate funds for the performance of the large
work which 1t has undertaken. We hope the
Lieutenant-Goyernor will turn his happy faculty
OF asking for things in that direction and COM
pei the many friends who are always ready to
support him TO give good big endowment to
Adelphi. Then it will not need to call on the city
for park lands Let Mr.. Woodruff find n new
want and ask again.

markets only but practically in all, there Is pro-
vided safer and more solid basis than usual
for the anticipatory operations OF the summer
In the chief industries. Far more than most
people realize depends upon such conditions be-
tween June and August /. 1t is time when
many works closed for repairs, or on ac-
count Of heat, or by controversies about wages.
and unless prospects are bright enough to slim
ulate more orders than usual the manufact-
urers have to cut down the possible output for
the year by extending their period of idleness,
or else to take upon themselves larger risks by
manufacturing in advance of orders. Whether
prompted by confidence of manufacturers or by
confidence Of dealers and consumers, this in
crease of activity in summer often makes all
the difference between a season Of moderate
and one Of extraordinary success. Except in
respect TO prices. the outlook is to-day more en-
couraging for most manufacturing concerns
than usual. and the extraordinary hindrance
resulting from last years abnormal prices is
being rapidly removed.
This is the first season in which the working
of many new industrial concerns under ord1-
nary conditions will be tested. Last year there
was such an abnormal demand for products in
almost every line and such a certainty OF
further advance in prices that the output
through the summer expanded TO the ut
most. This year it is yet to be determined how
the same corporations will handle the business
with a much less expanded demand and with
prices tending in the main toward a lower
basis Already there are legal proceedings for
the disruption of some of the corporations
formed with great hopes year ago or less, but
It is essential to remember that each has its
own peculiar conditions and its own greater or
less faculty Of management Before the coming
summer has passed the country will know much
more than ii has known hitherto regarding the
fitness of this form Of industrial development to
help the people toward a higher prosperity, and
probably the fate Of a good many of the COM
panies depends upon the test

THE GAYNOR PROSECUTIONS.

Now that the acknowledgements bill to
change the law concerning the removal of
indicted persons from one Federal judicial dis
trict to another has been killed the future policy
of the Government in dealing with John T.
Gaynor and others accused of frauds in connec-
ton with the Savannah Harbor improvements
becomes interesting and important. The United
States attorneys confronted with the neces
sty of going on under the old law or acknowl-
edging that they are unable not alone to punish
but to bring to trial persons whom they
charge with gigantic frauds Even at the cost
Of cOnfessing previous failure to do their ut
most, which would be the meaning of their sue
cess at this late day under laws which they
have been declaring inadequate, they will
hardly be willing to drop the cases and incur
inevitable criticism for permitting a complete
and humiliating failure of justice.
They doubtless realize that such criticism
would not be without reason 1t is almost incon-
ceivable that the Savannah frauds were so
clearly established as to doom Captain Carter
to disgrace and a long term of Imprisonment, in
spite of his great influence, the tremendous
efforts made to him and the long delays
of officials than willing to find an honest
reason for setting aside his conviction. without
leaving at least prima facie case against his
alleged confederates. 1t is scarcely possible if
there is a case against them at all, that, with
the exercise of due diligence on the part of the
Government lawyers and the same persistency
and ability which the defending counsel employ
reasonable cause for the removal Of the accused
men cannot be made out.
Nor will any excuse about the lack Of time
for adequate preparation of the cases relieve
the prosecution from its responsibilities. The
officials have had all the time they needed were
warned of the danger of wasting 1t, and replied
that they knew what they were about and that
if the guilt Of Carter, after the prolonged re-
view which they thought necessary, should be
affirmed his accomplices would not be per-
mitted to escape. Attorney General Grggs HIM
self assured anxious inquirers that they need
have no fears of the statute of limitations He
had several strings TO his bow. and if he
couldn't hold the contractors one way he could
another. And that assurance was given under
the present law without any idea Of the neces-
sity the possibility of prosecuting under
special legislation.

ambition does not seem likely to be realized he
at least has had enough of run for the asking
