Dixie ON AnsIo-,mericau relations.

Dixie ON Anglo Relations.
IN a London weekly named the sunday
Special" Sir Charles Wentworth Dixie yes
terday published some interesting remarks
on current and possible relations between
the Governments and people Of the United
States and England Among other things.
he said that the latter had no reason for
asking OF expecting quid pro quo for
concessions in Central America. as no
consideration is needed for quitting an in
defensible position which was taken TWEEN
ty years ago when Great Britain was max
ing arrangements with France for thwart-
ing the natural action of the United States
in a matter wherein France and Great
Britain had no common interest and there
was no reason TO interfere"
Sir Charles thinks that the frank ac-
ceptance" by his country Of American
friendship should make it possible for the
two kindred States to do much in com
mon in the Far East. where the open
door" in China furnishes them with an
identical policy and object. He sees only
the Irish flag in the way of a thoroughly
good understanding all around. and be
lieves that perhaps even that little matter
could be arranged amicably if the leading
spirits On both sides of the Atlantic would
put their heads together in spirit OF
confidence and fraternity.
Like all, or nearly all. contemporaneous
Englishmen. the talented author of
Greater Britain" entirely misses the real
point Of suspicion and friction between our
country and his. The American people
could easily overlook old grievances and
aggressions. in view Of British friendli-
ness during our war with Spain. if Great
Britain. while now frankly accepting
our family affection-such as it is-would
face about and cease sowing fresh seeds
Of discord We could readily forgive the
Clayton Bulwer Treaty. bad and perhd-
ious as demons trably it was. if Lord Sails
bury would admit its fraudulent and mop
erative character and say: GO ahead and
build your own canal and protect it, We
could even pardon the amazing a1ront of
the British attempt to steal a port and
hinterland from US in Alaska, without the
remotest color Of right so to act. if the eff
fort we're at once abandoned. But as long
as Great Britain diplomatizes and con-
spires against us on the isthmus. and in
sists upon despoiling US in Alaska. there
will be an Anglophobe sentiment in Amer
lea strong enough 10 affect national poll
tics and elections and to prevent the es-
adjustment OF that good and sensible
basis OF undeIstandinE which should mark
the relations OF two nations Of common
origin. traditions. history, language and
literature.
II there is bitterness against the mother
country in the United States today the
places to look for the cause are not far to
seek: and it will grow and flourish until
those causes are removed. It will not be
neutralized or rendered negligib- ~.y the
marriage Of American heiresxpauper
mobiles nor by the subsa of Re
publican Administrat Ptish inter
ests.

views and attitude by the trusts it had

by Charles z. Msgoon, law officer OF the
Insular Division of the War Department.
That opinion the Herald" asserted. held
that the Constitution extended to the
island the moment American sovereignty
became an accomplished fact, and il was
accepted as good law and gospel until the

majority in Congress to declare that the
Constitution does not go with the flag. on
penalty Of Withholding all contributions

juncture. it is said. Mr.. Magoon was
directed to prepare another opinion direct
ly reversing the first and did so with what
force and effect We have seen.
The Herald has evidently been waiting

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

The Speaker RcsponSibIe.-Apropo
OF Speaker Hendersou's furious wrath
toward Senators and all other persons OPP
posed to the Oxnard bill. as expressed in
various private letters recently published
it can be asserted on the highest authority
that his influence. more than that Of any
other man. was responsible for forcing the
obnoxious measure upon the party. At the
last House caucus on the bill the Speaker
came 10 the rescue of the supporters OF
the measure and made a speech that bull
dozed the weaklings into line. But for
this display Of a masterful capacity which
the Iowan's friends had not previously
credited him with possessing it is believed
that the bill would have been defeated. y
Republican Representative who all along
was friendly to the bill. says that Speaker
Henderson made a speech that can be aptiy
described in no ether way than as sensa-
tional. General Henderson, according to
this authority spoke for nearly a half
hour. His manner was not persuasive; 1t
was abusive alike Of Republicans and Dem
ocrats who were opposed TO the bill He
threatened with defeat those Of his own
party who voted against the bill In effect
his language on this point was: Any Re
publican who goes back on his party in
this crisis ought to be boycotted. So far
as | am concerned all such will be boy
cotted. The Democrats shall not bulldoz2
my party as long as l am Speaker. il
any bulldozng is 10 be done we shall DC
it. We viii ram this bill down their
threats like We rammed the Union down

! their goods. All these things will enable
/ the merchant to give the country customer
special prices. and it will be absolutely
impossible for the village storekeeper to
compete with him. simply because the city
establishment can give greater satisfaction
for less money.
Country people who are used to making
their selections from the limited stock
Of a shop in a small town are reasonably
easy to satisfy. compared to the city GUS
toner. who is familiar with the stock and
prices of all the shops in town. They will
send for samples Of certainzgoods, decide
upon the color and quality which they
think best worth the money. and pay for
the purchase at once. II these purchases
are satisfactory in style and durability
their neighbors are likely to follow their
example. Such customers are by no means
fools, and it will not be possible to palm
of upon them inferior articles. for after
one experience Of that kind they will stop
dealing with the firm which has cheated
them. They will demand the best, and
pay for it, and generally get it; and when
t"e! HHu 'hlHSS DOuShl from Ger tam
house TO be satisfactory they will continue
TO deal with that house for the next few
years. There is a steadfastness and per
manence about this kind Of trade which
makes it profitable. OF course, in some
neighborhoods this rule does not hold.
Where the people are ignorant, foolish, and
'shiftless" they will spend all their money
on cheap inery and run after the last new
fashion. no matter what it may cost; but
there are plenty OF districts in which
trustworthy dealers could secure perma-
nent and very profitable customers.

The direct effect of the decision of At
torney General Griggs in the case of Cap
tain McCalla of the Navy, which holds
that he was advanced and promoted by
implication. when the advancement OF
Lieutenant Commander Pillsbury was con-
firmed, will be to establish the record that
the advancement and promotion Of Cap
tain Higginson, to be commodore. by i'm
plication confirmed the advancement and
promotion Of Rear Admiral Schley for

about the matter II is not denied that
all of the sudden activity over the Vice

to the fact that Woodruff has stirred ur
enthusiasm for himself in various quarters
and is now the most talked about man in
the country for the position. He has
drawn Mr. Hanna fire anyhow. and
though he will not be nominated he will

may be that If Roosevelt is forced on the

il is evident that the outre- waistcoated

months il seems certain that he will have
to submit with the best grace possible &c

Assessed by HANNAH huge scandal
! probably will grow out of the exciting mu-
! nicipal campaign in Cincinnati which
! closes today The charge is being quietly
made that all of the Federal employees in
. Cincinnati have been forced by Boss
George Cox to contribute literally to the
| Fleischman campaign fund. In the rear
rangement of factional affiliations that
preceded Mark Hanna's election to the
| Senate the malodorous Cox suddenly
Topped from the Foraker camp to the
head of the Hanna column in Hamilton
| County, which means Cincinnati. For his
flop Cox has been rewarded with the con-
troll Of the patronage in that part Of Ohio.
1t is charged that Cox, with the full
knowledge of Mr.. Hanna, levied an assess
ment of 2 per cent on all OF the postofice
clerks, deputy marshals. and employees Of
the internal revenue collector of the Gin
cinnati district. Boss Cox, IL is said. ap
pealed directly to Mr.. Hanna for funds
and was informed that the Republican Ma
tiOnal Committee had not yet filled its eX-
Chequer. At the same time Mr.. Hanna is
stated to have intimated to Cox that in
such a campaign as was being waged for
party regularity and harmony there should
be no difficulty in securing from all loyal
fttDuUlltdNS WHO were pEouliHB ny bts
favor Of the party whatever money was
needed to uphold the principles at stake.
In the various departments there are sew
eral hundred Federal employees in and
around Cincinnati, and an assessment of ?
per cent on their salaries means a goOdly
fund. The attention Of the Civil Service
Commission will be called to the matter
soon. and it is said that the case will be
pushed with a vigor that will unearth
big scandal The Democratic managers
are especially interested al this juncture
in exposing such alleged violations Of the
civil service law. While the commission
is controlled by the Republicans. neyerthe-
less it is believed that sufficient evidence
can be presented TO cause the commits
sioners TO give respectful consideration to
the complaint II is considered highly i'm
probable that the conviction Of anybody
can be secured but il is thought the effect
will be salutary and will to some extent
deter the managers of Mr.. McKiuley's
forthcoming campaign from holding up
such of the Federal employees as are OPP
posed to parting with their money for
campaign purposes All knowledge of
Cox's assessment is denied by Ohio Re
publicans in Washington. When the ale
cation was mentioned to General Gros-
