have never been at war with each other, and
which in race and blood and genius are more
naturally friends and allies than any others.
The United States has had no direct part in
this alliance. Great Britain and Germany have
made it between themselves and for them
selves The United States, indeed, does not
enter into any such compacts. 1t is, neverthe-
less proper to regard with satisfaction the
agreement of these two Powers upon policy
exactly in accord with that Of the United
States and to hold, moreover, that in promot-
ing that policy hitherto this country has indi-
rectly but not inconsiderably contributed to
that end. Within the last year or two there
have been frequent occasions for remarking
upon the tendency of the United Kingdom, the
German Empire and the United States to agree
upon important questions Of international
policy. It would be impossible to find three
great nations whose close friendship would be
more natural or more benefcent to themselves
and to the general welfare of the world. This
agreement of Great Britain and Germany In
China is sure therefore to be regarded with
peculiar pleasure IN the United States and with

THE AHGLo-GBRMAN ALLIANCE.

Mr.. Ford, in his London cable letter in yes
terday's Tribune, described Lord Salisbury as
enjoying in Chinese negotiations, the adVan-
tage OF what is known among whist players as
the fourth hand. The other Powers have led
up to him and his hand has not been forced"
Continuing our correspondents apt figure of
speech, we might say that, according TO to.
days dispatches, Lord Salisbury has at last
played his hand. and has disclosed 1t to be
winning hand. The German alliance which is
now proclaimed is the trump which takes the
odd trick and wins the game. 1t is not too
much to describe It an alliance, for the COM
pact, as reported, provides for agreement in
policy and concerted action by the two Powers
in present conditions and In all prospective
contingencies, whether any other Powers shall
adopt similar policy or not, and in case any
other shall adopt and pursue antagonistic
policy these two reserve to themselves the
fright To come to a preliminary understanding
regarding the eventual step to be taken for the
protection Of their OVID interests"-that is to
say Great Britain and Germany propose to act
together, whatever happens
The terms Of the policy adopted are simple
First, the open door is to be maintained in
China, as far as it is within the ability Of
these two Powers TO maintain It, and that not
for themselves alone, but "for the peoples Of
ali countries without distinction" That is
worthy Of the highest commentator. It is ex-
actly in accord with-indeed, is a reaffirmation
of-the policy which Great Britain long ago
proposed, but which it was reserved for the
United States to establish. early In the present
year, by securing thereto the formal assent
and adherence of all the Great Powers. It is
q policy which is truly, as Secretary Hay has
well described IT, "a proof Of the friendly spirit

that is TO say, the territorial integrity of China
IS to be preserved. II is scarcely necessary to
point out that this. too, is entirely in accord
with the consistent policy of the United States
Finally, II any other Power seeks TO close the
open door or TO violate the integrity Of Chinese
territory, these two will endeavor TO act to-
gether may seem best TO meet the condition
which then arises. But they invite all others
and especially the other six Great Powers to
accept the principles involved in this policy
This may be described as a master stroke
because II is Just and right one and also be-
cause IL is scarcely conceivable that any other
Power or Powers VIII venture or desire to make
stand against It. Nothing could be more in

in making the gift precisely as It was made,
and the officers of the university, who are the
trustees of the gift, have administered their
great trust with unimpeachable discretion. The
completion of the work awaits only second
benefaction, equal to the first in spirit and in
purpose though less in actual amount of gift.
1t would be superf1uous to dwell upon the con-
spicuous fitness of such a benefactions arising
from among the numerous and opulent ranks
of those Americans of the present generation
who are Americans in all save the incident Of
birth. New-York City itself includes among its
most prosperous and most honored citizens not
a few of alien origin. If one such should be
moved to make possible the immediate erection
of the second Hall of Fame he would do more
than adorn the great city which is. his chosen
home. He would pay one of the highest and
most enduring tributes at once to the land of
his adoption and to the land of his nativity.
