Foreign Respect for America.

Senator Depew has just returned home
from a visit to Europe, where he improved
exceptional opportunities for discussing
public questions with representative men.
Naturally he was struck with the ne"
status of his own country in the interna-
tional scale and in an interview says on
that point:
Nineteen hundred is very gratifying
wear for America abroad One OF the phe-
nomena of the close of the nineteenth and
the opening of the twentieth century Is the
position our country has taken in two
years. Before 1898 no ruler or minister In
Europe was interested in American opin-
ion or action. Now the SITUATION is the
reverse. Every cabinet reckons on the at
titude of the United States in formulating
plans"
This is undoubtedly true, and it ought
to afford pleasure to every American citi-
xen But 1t will not 1t will give pain to
those who call themselves anti-imperialists.
They will read In 1t a confirmation of their
worst fears. They are emphatically oppos-
cd to this growth of respect for the United
States abroad 1t foreshadows disaster to
the country, as they believe. AS foreign
governments are taking into account, 1t
will be but short time until they set
about taking US into partnership in their
more ambitious undertakings, and from
that day will date our downfall. Beware Of
the foreigner bearing respect for the coun-
try He has hidden purposes. He is figur-
ing on a secret alliance. He is playing
upon our vanity in the hope Of making
bully and tool of us.
What the anti-imperialists want is the
restoration of the old order of things, when
no foreign power took us into account, and
when We were content to be ignored by the
outside world. They insist that the great
powers are all marauders, and that we
cannot afford TO enter upon any course
which will bring about any sort of intimate
relations between us and them. Mr. Bryan
goes so far As to insist that the United
States should have a monetary system and
standard of value of its own, without re-
gard to the operations of the world at
large.
But the change has come for better or
for worse, for richer or for poorer. AS the
result of war decreed and supported by
the whole country with enthusiasm, we are
now factor in all of the larger calcula-
lions respecting the worlds affairs. We are
a winning competitor for a constantly in
creasing portion of the worlds business.
Our manufactured products go now into
of our own country, they are taking the
cake for excellence. AS We are doing a
large business with the world. and are
soliciting larger, should we not covet the
worlds respect? And are We not obliged
to do such business according to the worlds
standard of value?
We could not restore our old isolation if
we would, and we should not If we could.

Senator Depew, who returned from Eu-
rope Saturday, Is quoted as saying that he
found on the continent the most intense
interest taken in the coming presidential
election In this country. France Germany
and Italy, he says, are hopeful of the cleo
ton of Mr. Bryan for the reason that Ii
would mean the withdrawal Of our govern
ment from the Philippines and from all ac-
tivity in the east. The three nations men,
toned fear the competition of American
trade In the far east.
1t was said of another famous man that
he was loved for the enemies he had made.
Mr.. Bryan would seem to be unfortunate in
the matter of the friends he has made and
the reasons for their friendship.

No Scuttling From China.
From the New York Tribune.


And now the cry is raised that we should
incontinentiy scuttle out of China. Our
work there Is done, men say, and we have
no business to keep our troops there an
other day. We should get out and leave
the other powers to solve the "Chinese
problem" as they please. All remaining
points at issue between this country and
China can best be settled by diplomatic
means. The duty Of the hour is to scuttle
We are inclined to think that this govern.
ment can be trusted to finish it's work
even II In SO doing 1t acts contrary to this
later advice to scuttle. The predictions of
unutterable mischief which were made be-
fore have not been realized. Intervention
has caused no complications with other
powers. II is to be believed that the pre-
dictions Of evil now made will similarly be
discredited, and that in remaining in
China long enough to complete the work
In hand the United States will get into no
entanglements, but will only add to and
perfect the credit 1t has already gained
and the good 1t has already achieved.

The East Front of the Treasury.

There is now in progress on the east front
Of ne treasury building a work which
call attention once more to the need OF an
extensive alteration in that classic pile to
NAL 2 1t worthy of It's character and Its
ger al design. The east front Is In plan
one of the most effective specimens OF
architecture in Washington. The long col
onnade presents some effects In varying
lights that are comparable with those pro-
duced by the finest works of the ancients.
From almost any point Of view this digni-
fed range Of pillars is pleasing. But I'M
fortunately, the material Of which the front
is constructed Is such as to cause disap-
pointment at close range. while time has
so altered the tone of the whole as to pro-
duce a sad lack of harmony between this
front and the others The main body OF
the building is of granite, which has
changed its appearance only slightly since
its empIacement, and will probably remain
as at present for many years to come. The
east front, however, is of soft sandstone
and the weather has deteriorated the stone
and stained it until 1t is positively shabby.
1t cannot well be painted, for there would
then be too glazing contrast between the
wings. even were the colors fairly matched.
Some years ago the experiment of treating
the balustrade with a chemical preparation
was tried, but without good results. Mean
while the front has been more or less ne
elected, until from time to time growths of
vegetation have appeared on the cornice,
greatly to its Disagreement. If it were an
ancient ruin, this intrusion of grass and
weeds would harmonic with the general
aspect, but being, 1t is, the home Of one
OF the great executive departments Of the
government, the appearance of sprouts in
the masonry is an ineXcusable anomaly.
What Is needed is the entire removal of
the front and its replacement with granite.
cOlonnade shall be repeated succeeded
by reproduction Of the west front.
Against the latter project, however, there
Is the objection that the street does not
allow sufficient space for the central en-
trance. with its commanding approach.
Probably the general sentiment of both
architects and laymen would favor the
restoration in enduring stone of the classic
range of columns, thus preserving the ia
milar appearance of the building. There is
for the remodeling of this front Of the
building. The rooms of the east wing are
dark and small, having been planned long
before the completion of the other three
wings. BY the judicious expenditure of a
liberal sum the treasury could be made not
only far more beautiful but more conven-
lent as a business place and workshop.

q considerable portion of the distance. They
hewed a way through the forest eight feet
wide, thus literally drawing line upon the
surface OF the earth. The stones were
carefully inscribed, those at the ive-nile
points being carved on the one side with
the Penn heraldry and on the other with
the arms Of Lord Baltimore. Modern
vandals, however, have not respected the
line, but have removed many Of the stones.
doubtless in most cases to utilize them for
building purposes. Thus the line has in
places become vague. and Of late years
there has been considerable confusion here
and there with respect to the precise limits
Of the two states. Accordingly the legis-
iatures have provided joint fund for the
resurvey Of this line, and workers repre-

than third of century since the great
strife. That sentiment has been somewhat
softened by the fact that some of the
states lying south Of the line have followed

civil war Mason and Dixon's line remained
as political barrier to republican pros
poets, 1t now has no such value. But Penn
