How War May Help Us.

One OF the big railroad men of the
West, who returned recently from the
Pacific coast, in speaking about the
probable war with China, says: "If
the allied nations arc driven into
war with China that war will last at
least four years, and, no matter what
may be the result, the United States
is bound to be enormously enriched
by it.
Japan, England, Germany and the
other contending nations will be forced
to secure nearly all their food supplies
from the United States. Our corn
and grain will be in great demand, and
many classes Of our manufactured
goods will be required for the use of
the armies.
II believe that should war be de-
clarcd with China this country would
enter upon four years of the greatest
business prosperity in its history.
Money would flow our way from Eu-
rope in steady stream, and if our
people do not give themselves up to
wild speculation the benefits will be
permanent aud lasting.
Even now the business between
the Orient and our Pacific coast has
enormously increased. Japan is buy
6 -four from us and only last week
{ 200 mules were shipped to the East
from Seattle.
II hope there will lie no war, but if
there is we will certainly suffer less
than any of the.other civilized nations
Of the world.

Mr.. Platt has abandoned his projsct Of

single police commissioner for New York
city, removable at the pleasure of the
governor. This new project is getti ng
scarcely more support than the one for
which 10 is substitute, the opposition,
which Is general among the New York
city press, being based upon the ground
that 1t 10 essentially vioiative Of the state
constitution, since 1t Is a blow to local
self government, for it is clear that under a
law Of this sort the power OF selecting the
police comm missioner for New York would
really rest in the governor OF the ct ate,
since he could centinus to remove COM
missioners appointed by the mayor until
one satisfactory to himself was selected.
The project is advocated on the ground
that it would prevent Iammany mayor
from filling 50 important ana powerful
an office as police commissioner with a
corrupt or inefficient man, and on its
face 1t does seem to have that merit. But
It Is a violation of the principle at the
bottom of our government, namely the
righ. OF the people to govern themselves,
and for that reason Is dangerous. At
most it is only palliative, masking, as
palliatives generally do, the real disease,

Mr.. Chamberlain never displayed his
personal and political sdroitness to great
or advantage than In bis statement in
the House OF Commons yesterday regard
ing the future of the Boer republics. The
cat-like agility with which he always
falls on his feet WAS again seen. The day
before hs had been the object OF the Bit
terest attacks. Yesterday the session
closed in universal applause for the
colonial secretary, whose conciliatory and
statesmanlike declaration concerning the
Transvaal and Orange River Colony de-
lighted even his opponents. What they
cheered most OF all was his intimation
that the Rand gold miners, who did their
best to bring on the war, were to be
taxed sinartly to help pay for it. This
will wiring the souls OF that gentry, who
