WHAT DOES INDEPENDENCE ME4Np

Mr. Bryan may we'll hope that he will never
be cursed with opportunity TO carry out his own
ideas of National policy. That even upon him
responsibility would have a SOLDERING influence
may be granted. He finds it much easier 10
talk, with not the value of a last years thistle
down depending on his utteTances, than he
would find IL TO act with his own reputation, the
fate of his party and the welfare of his country
af stake. But when he chatters with light heart
of the independence he would give the Fill
pinos and Cnbans under protection of the United
States he surely must have some faint sense of
his own absurdty. No matter how much we
may wish il, the people of these United States
have placed upon them responsibility as pro-
1ectors which they cannot escape. Not all the
international congresses ever held could fasten
upon them so inexorably that responsibility. nor
could all OF them together release the United
States from any part of it. Has ii ever Oc-
CURED to Mr.. Bryan 10 consider what it means:
Cuba has set up an independent govern
ment. let il be supposed. At every port or busi-
ness centre it has its officials. Their obligation

subjects of other Powers who may reside or do
business in Cuba is one which they cannot
escape. If decent enforcement of the laws is not
possible for the protection of Cubans. it must at

dispute, namely, that prices Of hardware have
not risen in any correspondence whatever with
the rise of 120 per cent in pig iron. but have
risen much less in time Of extraordinary activ-

classes of articles which have had no change in
the cost of materials to affect them. The reason
is that the cost of labor ingenuity and invention
constitute great part of the cost of these

The proposition to repair the Naval Arch in
Madison Square suggests that If the bases of
that handsome structure to height of six
feet, had been constructed of masonry instead
of boards and plaster. they would have been
proof against nine-tenths of the ravages from
which they now suffer. There is such a thing
as making temporary structure too temporary.

The proposition to establish municipal Ice
plant. which should furnish ice to the people.
seems bit startling at first sight. But after
all, what is it but an extension of the water
works principle? All agreed that the
municipality should furnish waterfall. that is,
but the Ramapo raiders. If water why not ice?
1t is only frozen water. IF the water supply be
impure, 1t is obviously the city's duty to filter
and purify it to make it fit for use Then
If it be too for use. why not cool it, or
provide the means of cooling il? In the words
of the head of the Department of Health. there
may be more in this than we think.

If the Turkish Government wants to pay the
indemnity this country in way that will
save it's face and not add to it's embarrass-
.ments in relation to other Powers. it does not
appear that there is any insuperable objection
to such course. What this country wants is
not to humiliate to embarrass Turkey, but
simply to get the money which Turkey admits
is due to it. 1t is not the form nor the order
of payment that is essential, but the fact of
actual, prompt and full payment.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.-The Chinese
situation was the main topic under con-

The administration is not disposed to
join with the other governments in
making demands upon the Chinese Inn

So far as our government is advised,
the foreign ministers at Picking have
not yet agreed upon all points under

sideration, but he has not yet indicated
that the end is at hand or that anything
in the nature Of an agreement has been
reached upon which the various powers
might act and which is to serve as
basis of negotiations with the Chinese
authorities.
