From His Government.

A special to the New York Herald from
Brussels says: Ali Ferrouh Bey, the Turk
ish minister to the United States has OBJ
tanned permission to take his harem to
Washington.
The Turkish minister to Stockholm, Sher-
if Pacha, also took his wife to Sweden but
she was an Egyptian princess, the daughter
of Hahn Pacha.
The prohibition to Turkish diplomatists to
take their wives with them caused some
time ago the suicide of Saaduliah Pacha
Ottoman ambassador to Vienna for twenty
years. He was separated from his wife and
children. who remained at Constantinople
Being unable to obtain leave of absence to
be present at his daughters marriage he
committed suicide.

Bryag and Congress.

From the New York Evening Post.
The effect upon Congress Of the election
of Bryan is not taken into the reckoning
by Senator Hoar. 1t is conceivable that ii
might not only consolidate the d mOcrati-
party and make il Obedient 20 Mr.. Bryan.
but that 1t might bring him some r pub
lican support also. including that Of Sen
ator Hoar, who could not refuse to sup
port a policy under Bryan TO which he is
committed under Mckinley Evacuation
of the Philippines in some decent, orderly
way. to be followed by seif-government,
is the substance of Bryan's programme.
We can conceive Of Senator MOrgans OPP
position TO such a policy. because ne has
been opposed 10 il from the beginning,
but We cannot conceive Of Senator doar ]
opposition. 1t is pretty safe TO assume
that, IN the event of BTyan's election, ne

ing in the Philippines what We have prom
Used to do in Cuba.

Under Germany,s Leadership.

The Post has not always found ltselt
able 10 admire the foreign policy OF this
administration. In our opinion there has
been far too much conniyance with Eng
Iand-the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. DOR dip
lomatic attitude toward the Beers, and,
finally. the astounding surrender Of Alas
kan territory 20 Canada under the trans
parent guise OF a temporary "modus VI
VenGi" In every case our action has been
uRNise, II not indefenslble. In every case
81 has alarmed and Grieved the patriotic
citizen. We have felt bound to applaud
Mr.. Hays policy with reference 20 China
thus far, but in the matter OF accepting
Cou,t Won Waldorsee as the leader OF the
allied forces We think the administration
Is laundering sadly.
There can be no objection to Won Wal
dersee, personally. We know Of no reason
why he should not. on his individual
merits and by virtue OF his high rank and
brilliant record, be placed in command
The question, however. is whether the
United States can put it's forces at the
disposal OF this or any other representa-
tive Of the German Emperor. Waldersee
is unexceptionable, himself, but what Of
his master, William II, who has publicly
eNhorted The German army TO slay and
spare MOTTO take no prisoners, and TO
wage a war Of vengeance and extermina-
ton? We do not forget that in the opin-
ion OF those best qualified 10 Judge, the
present uprising of the Chinese has been
precipitated by Germany's arrogant and
offensive policy of spoiation in their coun-
try. II Is quite fresh in the memory of all
that Germany, having expelled the Jcsuits
from her own territory, made the alleged
murder OF two German Jesuits In China
the preteXt for selling a large province
and adopting course of intolerable inso-
lence toward that nation. On the top Of
this comes the Emperor's Injunction 10 his
soldiers: spare no one, take no prison
ers'-the Injunction of a savage chieftain
10 barbarian followers, Unquestionably
we are warranted In asking ourselves
whether We can safely submit an Amer
lean army to the authority and the leader
ship Of Count Won WaIdersee, who, what
ever may be his private virtues, is above
all things the vassal of so bloodthirsty and
violent a monarch as the German En-
peror.
Thus far, our conduct has been without
reproach. In refusing to take part in the
bombardment Of the Taku forts. we cele-
brated our attitude Of humanity and good
faith. In announcing that we have no
mission OF rapine and ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
China, We have aligned ourselves with the
forces Of enlightened civilization. How.
then, can We forfeit the moral superiority
Of our position by becoming the ally of a
ruler who proposes TO revive the horrors
OF the dark ages?
Surely the administration Is not well ad-
vised in yielding 10 Germanys overture.
We have in China no business beyond that
OF securing protection for our citizens and
our legitimate interests, and should not
become involved in any schemes of wick
edness and barbarism.
Let US have a full. frank. and definite
understanding as 10 every detail before we
commit ourselves beyond recall.

An Invitation.

From the indianapolis News und-1.
Once again we find ourselves compelled
to remind Mr.. Bryan that ''the hitherto
unchallenged theory OF American political
equality everywhere under our flag" does
not apply in North Carolina and the other
Southern States. The negroes OF the South
are without political equality. Moreover
Mr. Bryan's foolish charge that his po-
ltical opponents want AN American colo
NAL empire supported by rifles suggests
that rifles have had a good deal to DO
with establishing white supremacy in the
South. II seems TO us that Mr.. Bryan
and other pretended admirers Of the Dec
laTatiOn of Independence would do well 10
see that its principles are applied in this
country before getting so much excited
over the Filipinos; and We think further
that a man who will get most of his elec-
toral votes from States in which there is
not a semblance OF political equality-in
which, indeed. the white people admit that
political equality does not eXist-ougnt 20
be a little modest about charging other
people with violating the principles Of the
Declaration. The governments in such
States as North Carolina do not derive
their powers from the consent of the gov
erned Yet Mr. Bryan will profit political
~ by the violations OF the great American
principles to which he prstends to be so
devoted Really. we should ike TO hear
from him on Imperialism in North Caro-
Ina The subject could be fittingly dis
cussed in his acceptance OF the Populls,
nomination. for the Populists of North
Carolina, with Senator Butler at their
head, have been the victims Of very Bit
ter political persecution.
