to grant Russia an outlet TO an open sea through
Manchuria. But after that it is difficult indeed
to see on what grounds she is 10 be regarded
as the paramount Power in that part of the
world or why the right or wrong of any policy
should depend solely upon her favor or disfavor.
These European views of the alliance serve
the valuable purpose, however. Of demonstrate
ing anew 10 Americans the extent 10 which
judgment in Europe is often swayed by passion,
prejudice and suspicion. The merits of the case
are ignored. The interests of this or that
Power and the thwarting of this or that Power
in its schemes are the primary considerations.
No Power is credited with unsefsh motives
sinister design is taken for granted. 1t is this
deplorable state of affairs which forms one of
the chief arguments against American parttci-
patton in European politics This Nation de-
sires honest friendship with all. 1t does not
wish to be regarded as necessarily hostile to
one because it happens to be friendly with an
other. On that ground it does well to make its
policies for itself and to avoid entanglements in
the policies and intrigues, alliances and counter
alliances of other Powers. In the end. it is to
be pretty confidently assumed all the European
Powers will acquiesce in the principles of the
Anglo-German alliance and will respect those
principles as a part of international law in
China. AS for the United States it can truly
say that instead of Its giving the alliance its
approval, the alliance gives approval TO the long
established policy of this country. There has
never been a time when the United States aimed
at anything else in China than the territorial
integrity Of the Empire and the open door to all
the world.

MUSIC.
OPERA IN ENGLISH.

Aside from the questions raised by the character
OF the performance the production OF GOunOd's
opera Romeo and Juliet in English at the Metro
poltan Opera House last night left considerable
doubt touching the artistic value Of opera fin the
vernacular. NJ. GOunOd's coIIaborators in turning
Shakespeare's love tragedy into an opera were
Frenchmen. Their literary conscences sat lightly
upon them, and such attempts as they made 20
preserve the integrity OF the poets text doubtless
seemed act Of piety to them, If they stopped 10
think about IT at all. What they attempted 10 do
however they did-they made an opera tic text out
of it, that was singabIe and that accepted
Gounod's tunefuI garments gracefully. snugIy and
we'll 1t was different matter when, by a process
of retrausmOgridcaton. GOunod's music was fitted
to many of Shakespeare's lines as could bs
squeezed by hook and by crook into the Spanish
boots Of the musicians rhythms and periods
Thereafter IL became proper privilege 10 wish for
the foreign text, and 10 be grateful for every
unintelligible phrase. Shakespeare's music IS
sweeter far and truer than any Gounod ever wrote
But this is a rather more serious view than the
performance at the Metropolitan Opera House calls
for 1t must go down as bit of discussion bearing
the general proposition involved in the expert
ment of giving opera in English. Last nights rep

TRUSTS AND STATE RIGHTS.

Mr. Bryan is hard man TO suit. If a Re-
publican does anything he is wrong, and if he
does not do it he Is also wrong. The Demo
cratic candidate seems bound TO find fault
anyway. so there is no occasion to look for con-
sistency in his complaints. Certainly none is
found For weeks Mr.. Bryan has been de-
nouncing the Republican Administratio for
not suppressng the trusts and at the same
time abusing it for asking power to suppress
them. On Friday at Elmira he said;
The amendment to the Constitution offered
by them 1.-THE Republicans was not necessary.
and it's purpose was not to give Congress the
power that II needed. 1t to take away
from the States the power that they have, so
that IL the Republicans control the Govern
ment the State will be powerless to protect
itself against private monoroy.
He has suddenly become concerned for State
rights though through his career as an income
taxer and hunter down of wealth he has stood
for the invasion by the Federal authorities OF
the domain of the State governments Just as
do all our semi-socastc agitators who in the
name of Democracy urge that the United
States undertake TO abolish all sorts of abuses
Mr.. Bryan does not want to give the General
Government power now possessed exclusively
by the States. but nevertheless he holds the
President and the Attorney-General to account
for not usurping authority to put down trusts
in the states. HroDaDly not more than ) per
cent of the so-called trusts which he thinks
should be suppressed are amenable to the Fed
eral Jurisdiction but are secure in their opera
tions in various States under the laws of those
States. The Federal Antitrust law was
found by President Cleveland and President
Harrison inadequate to reach the real evils.
and both pointed out in their messages the linn
its of the authority of the United States under
the constitutional distribution of no1,-erS bo
tween it and the States. President Mckinley
has enforced the law far as 1t goes, and if
he has failed to act on any complaint that the
Federal law is violated it would more become
his critics TO point out the case than to indulge
in indiscriminate denunciations because he has
not suppressed trusts out of hand
We know Mr.. Bryan has little respect for
the Supreme Court, but nevertheless the Presi
dent has to reckon with 1t, and that court has
set limit on Federal trust hunting which
makes the comforting of additional powers now
reserved to the States upon Congress necessary
if Congress is to respond to Mr. Bryan's call.
New-York tribune., 1900-10-23
BRYAN ON THE CONSTITUTION.

NIr Bryan has of late had a great deal to saw
about the Constitution, the constitutional DOW
ers and limitations of the President, the extern
sion Of the Constitution ex proprio vigore into
territories outside OF the Union for which the
Constitution was specifically and exclusively
made. and above all. the detestable abomi-
able and altogether hideous violations of that
venerable instrument of which the Republican
party in general and the Mckinley Administra-
tion in particular have been, are, and pre-
sumpuvely will be, guilty. He has put himself
forward as a Great Expounder in a way that
quite eclpses Story and Marshall and leaves
even the "Godlike Daniel himself in the shade.
We might therefore, naturally expect to find
him, in his professions of belief and in his
promises of policy, most scrupulous on all con-
stitutional points, and carefully observant of
what the President may and may not do in the
lawful and constitutional exercise of his duties
as-in his own chaste and dignified phrase
the Nations hired man.
We might expect this and if we did we
should be surprised al noting what Mr. Bryan
said in his New-York speech about hauling
down the flag in the Philippines. Let us recall
his exact words. He was comparing the cases
of Cuba and of the Philippines ''The Repub-
Ican President he said, "has promised to
''haul down the flag in Cuba when the free flag
OF OuDa Is ready 10 ny IN It's place, and If the
Republican President can haul down that flag
within two hundred miles of our shores a
Democratic President can haul il down seven
Thousand miles away from our nearest shore. .''
Passing charitably over the glaring misstate-
ments Of fact in that statement as character
istic Of the speaker, it is TO be observed that
whatever a President, Democrat or RepubIi-
can. can or cannot do in the Philippines or in
Cuba is, under the Constitution, determined by
law, ana by treaty, which is also law The
President has constitutional right TO remove
the flag from Cuba when certain conditions
are complied with, because he is authorized so
TO do by an act of Congress, and because in
accordance with that act, the Treaty of Paris
does not provide for the cession of Cuba TO the
United States, but merely for the evacuation
Of the island by Spain But where is there
any constitutional sanction for such action in
the Philippines! 1t is not in any act of Con-
