FOREIGN AND IHsULAR AFFAIRS.

large part of the Presidents Message Is de-
voted 10 the foreign relations of the United
States. This is naturally the case. for the rea-
son that the Secretary OF State. who Is our For
eign Minister. alone OF all the Cabinet makes
30 public report. At the present time 1t is
particularly necessary that the President should
deal with such topics, because Of the great
tent of our foreign interests and the acute issues
new presented in at least one quarter of the
globe. The President gives MS a review Of the
troubles IN China which is at once cOmprehen-
sive. succinct and accurate. 1t is also marked
with temperate and iudiciOus tone. The dec
laratOns of policy which were made and Were
SC generally approved last summer are re-
peated, and In continuance OF the same policy
the President favOrs the restoration of Imperial
power at Peking, and q settlement of demands
upon China on reasonable basis. RecOgniz-
ing the fact that a full cnsh indemnity 10 all
aggrieved parties might be beyond Chnas abil-
lily 10 pay. he suggests that 10 a certain extent
there might be accepted In lieu of cash in
creased guarantees OF future security for for
eigners, extended rights and privileges for them
and, most important of all. a general opening Of
China 20 the commerce of all nations on equal
terms. These principles. he tells u.s. have been
and will be advocated by our representatives
and in case Of International disagreement con-
cerning them he favors reference 10 the Inter
national Court OF Arbitration at The Hague.
Elsewhere than In China the foreign relations
of The United States are entirely peaceful and
present no cause for disquiet or apprehension.
Consideration Of them fills much space in the
Message. but such consideration is not coutro-
versial In character, but rather informatory con-
cerning routine matters OF friendly negotiation.
The President recommends prompt action for
nnai 'delimiiation Of the entire Alaskan bound
ary. He also reuews his former judicious nc
oinmendaton that the Jurisdiction OF Federal
courts be extended ss 10 cover all cases
such as ,lynehing of or other outrages upon
ahens-in which the Federal Government NAV
oe called upon to pay Indemnify. In such way
ne hopes to avoid such miscarriages OF Justice
New-York tribune., 1900-12-04

as that in the recent massacre at Taliuiah, La
Much attention is given in the Message TO
those insular possessions and the temporary de-
pendency which at the beginning of this Ad-
ministratiOn were foreign lands. In all Of
these progress Is reported Cuba is at the pres
ent moment holding Il Constitutional COnven-
ton in faithful fulhlment OF the pledged policy
of the United States. Hawaii is enjoying edu-
cational agricultural and commercial develop
inent. A civil government has been estab-
usbed III Porto Rice. and is working well. and
the first session of the instllar Legislature began
simultaneously with the opening of the present
session of our Congress. In the much vexed
Philippines. too. the President is able to report
gratifying progress. Organized rebellion long
ago dwindlcd away TO sporadic guerilla war
fare and even that is now subsiding. BY
happy coincidence. this hopeful report is cor
roborated by tO-day's news from Manila, which
reports the voluntary surrender of more than
two thousand insurgents. and their taking Of the
oath Of allegiance to the United States. We
suppose that scarcely even the most imperious
anti-imperalst will venture 10 suggest that
these men surrendered through colusion with
the President in order 10 give color TO his Mes
sage
The sum Of the report upon the Philippines is
the truthful one that progress is being made
toward building up there an enduring self-sup-
porting and self-administering community and
the sum Of the Presidents recommendations is
that we shall not only uphold the flag and vim
dcate its honor there. but shall also by wise
and generous treatment of the people make the
flag as much beloved there as ii is at home. 1t
is distinctly hopeful outlook that is presented
by the Message over all our insular possessions,
and over our relations with alien lands il is one
that must give the American citizen a higher
pride in the place his country has assumed
among the nations of the world

LET HIN PASS,

II ever a man sold his birthright for a mess OF
pottage that man Oscar Wilde whose mis-
cradle death in Paris has just been announced
in the cable dispatches. He had intelligence,
culture taste and a certain wit; but he was
content in his earlier years to provide Du
Maurier with a model for his Postlethwaite and
Gilbert with for his Bunthorne, both in
imitable and delightful portraits. but hardly
calculated to hold the original up to anything
but scOrn. He wrote Ave Imperatrix'' and
other metrical compositions almost as clever.
but cleverness does not make a great writer nor
unfeeling epigram great man. He said many
quotable things though how many of them were
really his own II would be difficult to determine.
He once sighed over a mot Of Whistler's wish
ing that he might claim 1t his own. You
will Oscar. you will" the artist is reported to
have exclaimed. and the anecdote is illustrative.
Everything that ne is best known by, his fc-
tion. his plays and his conversation, savOrs of a
painful effort to he smart at the expense of
truth and morality, If not with deliberate rdcuie
OF both.
There has been. OF course, a Wilde following.
There are always people in this world ready TO
see brain power in insolent dogmatism. and TO
identify the brilliancy of true wit with the
cracking of thorns under a pot. The self-elect-
ed prophet of Passionate Bayswater. however.
had soiled mind and was specious I'm all his
works; there is not a line he wrote after the
first sincere and clean verses Of his young man
hood which is not ignoby cynical and shallow.
This judgment is not prejudicially inspired by
disgust for the squalid infamy of his closing
years. Wide's Imprisonment and the outlawry
ne suffered from the time Of his release TO the
day of his death were only the ratification of a
sentence long ago passed upon him by those
who could forgive and smile at the aesthetic
follles which first brought him into notice, but
could never condone the thinIy veiled corrup-
tion OF his maturity. The Ballad Of Reading
Gaol" which has been received with pious rapt-
in some quarters. showed that punishment
for his offences had only excited in him senti-
mental self-pity, the morbid complacency OF
the criminal whose blood Is irrevocably tainted

Ger are too had 20 he ratified by the Legislature,
which we certainly have no present intention of
asserting. we fear that others are too good TO
escape bitter antagOnism. Among these is the

Department Of Education the prohibition of

REMEDIES.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: thank you for desiring practical suggestions
for the immediate suppression of vice in New
York The dreadful subject has been 50 long con-
sldered that I can respond without delay
First-Pubic sentiment. represented by the Cham
Der Of Commerce and cooperating influences.
shouli at once constraia the legal authorities
Immediately to stop the open manifestations OF
vice
seoond-when disorderIy places are "raided''
let only the proprietor of the place and the
MEN found there he arrested. and In every
ease let their punishment he not nne'
but fmprisonment.
Third-Instruct the police 10 abolish every dis
orderly apartment in every tenement or apartment
house in New-York City; to segregate vice, not in
one locality, but in entire buildings where no re-
spectacle family resides and wnere no neighbOr-
hood disturbance OF manifestation or any KIND VIII
be allowed. Let the Vigilance Committee be large
enough TO that such conditions are strictly en-
forced.
Fourth-Make sure that every disordsrIy
woman arrested shall have a fair hearing in the
light OF extenuatins circumstances which NAV
formerly have existed. and if, as often has been
the case. her story proves TO have been most
pitiable one give her some benefit from her better
past and the public some knowledge OF the awful
methods by which too many disOrderly women
have been manufactured We ask no favors for
women who break the laws-nothing but even'
simple justice.
Fifth-As the efficient remedy for the rapid spread
of vice cannot lie in suppressing its public mani
festatiOns alone. and public opinion IS more
powerful than law. while the Vigilance Committee
must aim 70 hide the vice. IL should aim 20 expos
the hidden respectable patrons of vice and al o.
those who are in any way in cOllusOn with its pro-
tected existence We would not demand an eN

understood that all those who hereafter become ds.

should be publicly discredited this would 90 mOlS
to check vice than any other available measlls
II we are in earnest, must probe deepest Nhei0
the evil Is most gangrened. ..
Sixth-If there Is not law enough on our ststutss
books 70 restrain landlords who knowingly rem
rooms or buildings for disOrderly purposes %
who more indirectly set eXOrbitant pronts TUE
such rental and IL there is not law enough ~
punish men who wholly or in part live upon sn.
