1t Is very comforting to learn that the
Khedive Of Egypt hopes to visit the United
States in 1901. 1t would not be a bad
idea to invite our own Moslem subject
prince, the Sultan of Jolo. 10 meet him.
Perhaps it would be even better to have
pan-Islamic Congress in Washington.
In case Mr.. Mckinley should still be in the
White House next year, it would be
pleasant for him to meet his brother
Mohammedan rulers in friendly confer
ence We have little doubt that the Sui
tan Of Turkey, the Shah of Persia, the
Bey OF Tunis, the Ameer OF Afghanistan,
and the Ahkoond OF Swat would be glad
TO attend.

The Heritage of the New South.

What do our children care about the issues
that made the great war Of sections? To them
the politics OF the Coniederacy reads like a
myth Of the Middle Ages. Secession is gone
Slavery is gone That whiNh remains to us
is the memory of its selisacrihcing heroism; its
splendid yalor; its glorious examples Of the man
hood and womanhood Of our race; heritage no
less to the North than to the South; the common
property o. all the people of the American Union
That which remains to them is pride of birth,
truly, but, better still, the hope of the future,
which their birthright assures them

tive genius in the right direction. Forest
fires are not mysterious providences, they
are the plain result of neglect and care
iessness.
From an esthetic point Of view, nothing
can be less desirable than land without
trees. The average American town, in its
crudity, is one of the ugliest things ever
evolved by human endeavor, because it is
so glaringly new and undecorated. The
would-be decorations of the architect are
worse than none at all. There are some
men who will cut down a magnificent elm
in their front yard, sell it for lumber,
and spend the money In building new
veranda with horrible wooden fret-work
around the roof; but why they do it
must remain a mystery forever to the per-
son Of different traditions Perhaps. when
the town built by such men is twenty
five years old. 1t will have Forest AS
ISOLATION" and the children Of the public
schools will spend one day in the year
planting trees, with appropriate songs
and speeches: but in this, as In many
other things, an ounce Of prevention il
worth a pound of cure.

ports OF Americans now N Parls, tnat the
Exposition formally opened a month ago
will not be ready for visitors until the last
week in June. Meanwhile those deluded
persons who arrived in the French capital
in time to witness the formal opening are
paying exorbitant prices for everything and
not getting what they came for at that.
The hotels, restaurants. and other money
making establishments doubled or even
trebled prices promptly on April Is. and one
Disguised New Yorker writes that he is pay
himself and wife and has been doing SO ever
since the middle OF last month, while no
Exposition is on view to recompense him
for his unprecedented expenditure. He
does not enjoy paying this price merely
for the privilege of being in Paris and see
ing the ordinary sights Of that city, some
OF them made less attractive by the litter of
incident TO building operations. He there
fore solemnly warns those Of his country
men who contemplate seeing the Exposition
not to arrive before June % at the earliest
and expresses the hope that by that time
the machinery OF the Exposition will be
wound up and the wheels fairly In motion.
1t is rather difficult to see why the av-
erage American should care to attend this
show nj all. 1t seems as IL the White City
built at Chicago ought TO have satisfied the
fair-going propensities of this nation for
ten years at least. without there being any
necessity OF trooping over to Paris to see
another exhibition and fill the pockets of
the bourgeois Partisan with painfully-ex-
torted ducata. This country owes France
10 debt Of gratitude, with the single sole
exception OF the one dating from Revolu-
tionary times, and the present Republic can
hardly lay claim to any credit for that.
France did all she could to injure US dur
ing the late war with Spain; she was not
friendly during the civil war, and she has
given this country more trouble at diff
ferent times during the two last genera

should establish the general principle that

Durbin Is COnfident.-The Hon. Win
field Taylor Durbin, the Republican NOM
inee for Governor OF Indiana, arrived in
Washington yesterday and spent busy
day in conference with the party man
ayers. Colonel Durbin is a trim, 1.-THE
man, keen OF eye and buoyant Of spirit.
Though he does not seem to be more than
forty years old, he won renown in the
Union Army during the civil war. He
commanded one OF the best volunteer regi-
ments in the service during the late war
with Spain, and spent six months with
the army of occupation in Cuba as part
of General Lees corps. II is related OF
him that though an ambitious politician
Colonel Durbin had the courage and the
good sense to discipline his regiment in
the late volunteer army as severely as
any Of the regular regiments are dis
ciplined. with the result of bringing his
organization up to notably high degree
Of efficiency. In doing this Colonel Dur
bin ran the risk of mourning implacable
hostilities that would pursue him relent-
Iessly in civil life, and particularly in
politics.; but apparently his men were
brought to realize that his rigid methods
were better for them than the loose. lax
discipline which characterized so many of
the volunteer regiments in the service, to
the final injury Of the enlisted men and
eventually to the destruction of the per-
sonal popularity Of their officers. Colonel
Durbin talks about the situation in In
diana as II 1t were not as promising as
might be hoped. He does not say SO, but
it is fair to infer from his guarded re-
marks that he believes the Republicans

than forty-nine for the women. And yet

representatives: IF Senator Pettigrew and
the others who apparently were responsible

nest in their movement for him they should
not have permitted the Sioux Falls Conven-
tion to put his name on the ticket. They
should have left the second place vacant
ana made fight at Kansas City for their
man. AS the case now stands, l feel GER
tain the Democrats will not accept Towne
as Bryan's running mate. But the Mime
sofa man, l very much dread, will just
cause enough trouble at Kansas City to
make thousands of free silver Republicans
mad at us. A large number Of those voters
are only too eager for some excuse to break
company with the Democrats anyhow, and
1t may be that when we turn down their
man at Kansas City this act will give them
their much desired opportunity to set up
In business for themselves in the close
States Of the West, where they could do us
most harm. So. you see, there Is more dan
ger in the Towne movement than
there was in the Tom Watson
foolishness four years ago. And l
am inclined to believe that IL
Pettigrew and Butler had kept faith with
us we would not now be threatened with
ugly trouble from new source. AS view
the matter. 1t is entirely out Of the ques-
ton for us to accept Towne. Mr.. Bryan
| represents the idea Towne stands for better
than Towne does himself. II. therefore,
concessions are to be made, does not good
politics demand that we make concessions to
the people who are opposed to us on some
OF the broader issues? And IL we are to
pick up new man, why not take mill
tary hero? We have the only two heroes OF
the Spanish war to choose between-Dewey
! and Schley. Why not take one of these II
we are to go outside Of the regular field

Dewey's word for it that he is Demo-
crat Everybody believes Schley is a DEM

these would add strength to the ticket. No
| body doubts that Schley would carry Mary
land, which went against us four years ago.
and nobody doubts that Schley would at
tract many thousands of German votes.
! Why, ask. should we overlook such ma
terial and such opportunity as this and go
philandering with the free silver Repub-
licans. whose fight we are making and who
must depend upon us for the realization OF
their chief hope?'

SATURDAY, MAY II, 1900.
Administration Trust Work.

1t is one of the peculiar, and we might
say startling. manifestations OF the day
that the Administration and it's principal
supporters are always ready to rush to
the support of the trusts, whenever any
Of that class of public enemies are in
trouble: although it is notorious that such
course tends to dig the political grave
OF the Republican party deeper than it is
already.
An illustration of this habit is seen in
the case of a current effort on the part OF
the authorities OF Nebraska to exclude the
Standard Oil Trust from the State. A
similar movement in Texas some time ago
was successful. 1t was not, apparently,
resisted by the Administration with Or
ganixed force for the reason that it was
sudden, and caught the friends and pro-
tectors OF the monopoly unprepared.
In the Nebraska affair II is different
The struggle there is determined. and on
the side of the trust is being conducted
by one OF the strongest and brainiest Ad-
ministration leaders in the far West. SEN
etor John NJ. Thurston is the chief coun-
sci for the Rockefeller interest, and is
doing all he can to convince the magnates
that whatever Republican platforms may
say under stress of circumstances against
the trusts, the Hanna Administration and
all its henchmen and influences are with
them.
1t is from this point OF view that Sem
ator Thurston has ventured to read the
Supreme Court of Nebraska a severe lee
ture on its alleged susceptibility to popu-
lar opinion. His brief, filed with the court
the other day, says:
1T is not the business Of the courts to in
sugurate or assist popular preiudices and popular
theories. In the calm and serene atmosphere Of
the court room the imperative duty is to exclude
such influences and apply settled rules OF law
and constitutional provisions 70 to give 10 all
the equal protection of the law"
AS a rule We do not think that trusts
have had any reason to complain that the
Law has not given them at least equal
protection. We seem to recall instances
wherein the trusts have enjoyed a little
more than bare equality. One Of them, II

We are glad to observe that there is on,

landmarks. The Administration old rul,
has been TO stick to the trusts in prac

for popular effect. 1t does not suggest an!
departure from that policy in the person
or mission of Senator Thurston.
