"JyDrSTRJAL NATIONALIST"

That was q curious though not altogether I'M
natural outbreak in the French Chamber OF
Deputies the other day over the American loco
motive engine which is displayed IN the French
Government exhibit at Vincennes. 1t appears
that some time ago the French Government
purchased a number Of American engines for
use on the State railroads 1t did so because ii
was in urgent need OF new engines, and French
shops were Unable, through press Of other work
or because of strikes, TO supply them. There
fore, as a matter Of fact the French railroads
became partially equipped with American en-
gines, and so when an official exhibition of ma
chinery was no be made 1t was thought only
Just that one Of the American engines should be
included. The exhibition would not have been
complete without It, This explanation Of the
case did not however, satisfy some Deputies
who represent manufacturing constituencies,
and one of them demanded in the Chamber 10
know why the Government had put such
slight upon French machinists.
The two answers given are both significant.
The Minister OF Public Works explained the cir
cumstances OF the case, and then protested
against the creation of "a sort Of industrial ma
tionallsm" His phrase should be considered in
connection with the words Of another Deputy,
who bluntly declared that France could not
produce such engines--that is, so good engines
as the Americans. We shall not attempt to pass
upon the accuracy of this latter statement,
from motives Of courtesy on the one hand and
Of National pride on the other But its truth or
untruth is a question seriously to be considered
by France If France can build as good engines
as America and can build them as cheaply and
as expediuOusly, and numerOusly enough to sup
ply her own demands certainly she should do So
and should stop buying engines from the United
States But II she cannot, she should buy her
engines here until her shops able to com
pete with ours And In the mean time II will be
more profitable TO devote attention to improving
her own manufactures than to railing against
the Government for making the best bargains it
can
Industrial natlonalism" Is bad or good &C
cOrding to circumstances. If it arise simply
from an unwillingness to patronize foreign in
dustries, and be accompanied by disinClina-
ton or an inability to bring the domestic indus
tries up to the worlds highest standard, then
It is worthy Of the strongest reprObation 1t
means inferiOrity, stagnation, decay. But If 1t
arise from the nations own superiority In In
dustries from the fact that its domestic goods
are Of & higher standard in all respects than
those Of any competitor, then it is worthy of all
praise SO far as there has been industrial
nationalism' in the United States. it has been
Of the latter kind. This country aims to have,
would be unworthy of France to say that with
her marvellous inventive and creative skill she
cannot do as we'll for her own wants we for
ours But 1t may be that In some particulars
she has not tried her best.

JUDGE TOWNSEND ON PORTO RICO


Those who do not like the decision of Judge
Townsend in the United States Circuit Court
sustaining the tariff levied on goods from Porto
Rico after the ratification of the Treaty of
Paris will affect TO belittle its significance by
saying that il is contrary to the recent decision
OF Judge Lochren, a District Judge in another
circuit, and that it is therefore not TO be re-
garded as Of any particular weight AS mat
ter Of fact, however, so far as it goes it estab-
fishes the law on the subject, while Judge
Lochren's deliverance was not decision at ALL
but was legally of as much force one of Mr..
Bryan's political speeches. The constitutional
status OF Porto Rico was not before Judge
Lochren- A case involving the exercise of mill
tary authority in Porto Rico during the war
came up and he rightly held that such author
ity was free from constitutional restraint. That
ended the matter in hand. But the Judge could
not resist the temptation to air his political
views, and entered into a gratuitous discussion
of an entirely different question He gave it as
his opinion that after the ratification of the
Treaty OF Peace the Constitution eX proprO
vigore extended 10 Porto Rico, and its inhab
ftants though without treaty stipulation like
that given 10 the people Of Louisiana and New
Mexico, nevertheless instantly became full
fedged American citizens. This gave great JOY
70 critics of Porto Rican legislation but it
settled nothing. On the other hand. Judge
Townsend. for the time being and subject to
appeal. does settle the legality Of the policy
pursued between the ratification Of the treaty
and this years Porto Rican tariff act treat
ing Porto Rico as territory outside the uniform
tariff boundary of the United States That
was exactly the question before him which he
had 10 decide. and he confines himself strictly
10 the line of his judicial duties in the discus
sion Of il.
II is Fortunate that this important and far
reaching question should first be brought for
decision before judge of recognized ability and
character. and reputation for clear sound and
independent thinking who would consider it on
broad grounds Of common sense and with an
eye 70 general principles instead OF merely
quoting parrotlike, precedents found in savings
OF other judges twisted from their application
10 different circumstances. 1t was so that Chief
Justice Marshall faced new conditions and in
terpreted the Constitution. 1t was a terrible
shock 10 the people Of his time who could see
no authority in legal opinions which were not
mere patchwork of old phrases and decisions.
But IN spite Of the timid he established this

REWRITING TO BRYANISM.

Mr.. Henry WattersOn announces his reversion
10 Organism. -Four years ago he was leader
Of the Democratic revolt against the Chicago
platform. Now he processes his willingness to
support Mr.. Bryan, knowing quite well that
Mr.. Bryan Is committed to a re-enactment of
the Chicago platform. and that therefore Bryan
ism to-day means just what it did in 1896 plus
some additional hereses and fads. His de
lection from the ranks of the Honest Money
Democrats will cause perhaps less surprise than
regret on the part of those who are always
sorry to a blemish upon a brilliant career.
There will be seen in it by the judicOus OBJ
server more of sentiment, or of impulse. or of
mere restlessness than of that sanity of logic
and earnestness Of conviction which should
characterize a leader of a great party in Ma
tional affairs Of great moment.
Organism, If successful this year, either
would or would not mean free silver at IS to l.
If it would, then Mr.. Watterson is now offering
to accept that which four years ago he re-
garded as a heresy dangerous as to menace
the honor and life of the Republic and so mon
strous as to Justify him in severing the politi-
cal connections OF lifetime i'll order to oppose
It. He must therefore choose between being
deemed recreant to Democracy in 1896 and be-
ing deemed recreant to the Republic in 1900
Or else he must explain how free silver could

Organism would not, If it could, mean free
silver. and If the 16 to 1 plank is abandoned,
what are we to think of it? Four years ago
Mr. Bryan and his colleagues were declaring
that to be the supreme issue of all issues never
TO be abandoned until settled in accordance with
the demands of the Chicago platform. Mr..
Bryan put forth nnumerable appeals and argu-
ments to that end with all the supersolemnity
of sacrilege If now he should cast that issue
overheard and abandon that sacred cause, is it
such 4 leader and such party that Mr.. Wat
terson would follow and support:
Mr.. WattersOn once. with characteristic fer
vor of rhetoric, protested against marching
through a slaughter house into an open grave"
Can ii he that he now deliberately chooses such
path, not only for his party. but for his own
reputation as a saSacous political leader and
as whole soued patriot?

laundering would have deplorable effect upon
the sentiment of Cubans toward the United
States, and thus upon their votes. Nothing
could more certainly conduce at once to good
self-government by the Cubans and to conf
dence and cordial relations between them and
this country than the practical manifestation of
a disposition not to excuse nor to gloss over
errors in administration but to prevent the
occurrence or at any rate, the recurrence of
such errors Good government in Cuba by the
United States will lead to good government by
Cubans and to the establishment and perpetu-
alton Of the mutually most advantageous rela-

London June 15.-Replying to a series OF questions

causing the people to abandon the camps and dis
perse in all directions. The famine had already
lasted seven months and it was impossible at pres
ent to form even an approximate estimate of the
total number of deaths direct indirect due to the
sCOurges. Where famine aggravated by choI-
the mortality was very heavy.
In other large districts. where the famine was
equally severe but not associated with other
sCourges. the efforts of the Government had been
successful that the death rate hardly above
the normal. The total OF reported plague deaths
from 1896. when the epidemic began, to last April
35S,6S0 or about one per annum TO every three
thousand Inhabitants. At the present moment the
mortality in Bombay was lower than at any period
during the last three years, and at present there
seemed reason to apprehend that an imperial
grant would be necessary.
