The Turkish Indemnity.

1t would be most gratifying to the people
OF this country If the government could
force the Sultan of Turkey to pay the in
IDENTITIES which he acknowledges. For
many months there have been negotiations
and promises, then delay, more negotiations
and more promises, with the process end
lessly repeated. until the opinion seems to
be well founded that the sultan does not in
tend to pay and can not be made to pay
short of the application OF force. This gov
ernment hesitates to apply force, in view of
the delicate relations of Turkey to the other
powers and the danger that coercion by US
would precipitate a general advance by
other creditors. with the almost certain re-
suit of struggle for the possessions of
the Sick Man. There has been serious work,
too, in China meanwhile, and in order to
safeguard the trade interests of the United
States 1t has been inadvisable for the gov
ernment to precipitate crisis In Europe
The maintenance Of the open door in Asia

and the preservation of China's integrity
are OF much more importance to the ma
terial interests Of this country than the col
lection of a comparatively small debt from
Turkey.
At the same time this government has not
ceased to apply diplomatic pressure, with
such insistenee as to cause the porte some
wonder. Various proposals to evade the
real issue while meeting the obligation have
been rejected. The United States is con-
cerned more for the establishment Of the
principle involved than for the money
itself. 1t insists that its citizens shall be
immune from harm In other countries as
long as they conduct themselves properly.
1t therefore demands that the government
which permits them to be outraged and
their property to be destroyed shall pay
ronndly, and in manner to involve an ac-
acknowledgement responsibility.
1t is stated that a new move in the game
comprises the reduction of the Turkish rep
resentation in this city from full lega-
ton to the basis Of charge d'affaires
The complete severance by this country of
all diplomatic relations with Turkey would
be more in accord with the dignity of this
government, although it might not effect
the desired liquidation.

a Big Job for Croker.

Mr.. Croker announces that he is going to
roll up a majority of 10000 for Bryan IN
Greater New York This promise is hailed
with joy by the faithful, who profess to see
in IT sign of triumph for the popocratic
ticket in the state. The Star discussed the
general aspect of the state fight yesterday
MIR. Croker's definite figures afford a basis
for closer reckoning. In 1895 Mr.. Mckinley
carried the state by a plurality of 25S, 4ty
or this 50. tr2 came from below the Harlem
river. ~. .I35 from New York county
329SS from Kings county and 6714 from
Queens county. Thus he came down
To the Harlem with 20s 767 plurality
Even should Mr.. Croker carry the big city
for Bryan by 100000 he will still have the
upstate republican plurality to overcome
1t is clear that the republicans have a very
wide margin on both sides of the river
Croker must change at least 1851 city
votes from Mckinley TO Bryan in order to
secure his 100000 plurality, white he is
changing about $500 votes upstate to re-
duce the republican piuralities to the point
where they can be overcome by his city
vote. Thus he must convert no less than
1S5.0o0 votes, in round numbers, TO give
Bryan bare plurality IN the entire state
on the basis Of the votes asthey were east
for thesc r8me candidates in 1886 This
does not take into account the normally
any candidates in 1896. or those cast for

Grade Crossing distractions.

The complaint Of a resident Of South
Washington that the street crossings are
often obstructed by railroad trains voices
the sentiment Of everybody living In the
vicinity OF the grade crossings. The regu-
lations are strict enough in their terms
There are police officers sufficient In gem
eral to see that these rules are observed.
Yet the rule at these places seems to be
that the crossings are illegally obstructed
more often than that the regulations are
obeyed. Cannot something be done to force
the railroad companies to observe the re-
quirements? There has never been a suf-
ficienty vigorous prosecution of these Of
tenders. Occasionally an engineer or con-
ductor or yardmaster Is hailed to court and
fined a small sum for holding train at a
crossing beyond the legal limit of time.
The matter Is then neglected for weeks or
months, and meanwhile the practice con-
tinues, to the obstruction Of traffic and the
serious annoyance Of the citizens. What Is
needed is a continuous performance by
the courts In punishment Of the offenders
If the yardmaster were to be prosecuted
each time a train Is held too long at a
crossing he would, as the experience Of
the people now runs, spend most of his
time In court. 1t would not require very
prolonged spell Of this sort of thing to
bring the corporations TO a realizing sense
of their responsibilities. This result can be
attained by proper degree of cooperation
between the authorities and the people
The former can instruct the policemen to
be alert at all such points to observe any
instances OF unlawful obstruction and to
arrest the offending engineers without de-
lay. The people can organize themselves
into corps of volunteer watchers to take
note of violations and to enter immediate
complaint. appearing later as witnesses in
court to prove the charges. With such a
combination it should not be long before
the railroads are made to feel the force Of
the law and to establish a system in con-
formity with it. while they are enjoying
the free use Of the streets and waiting
the tardy completion of their viaducts and
Subways,

A Boom for American Plays.

Critics who have complained for years
that theatrical managers never gave ma
tive playwrights a chance ought TO be sat
isfied at last. Judging from preliminary an
nouncements and from the first productions
of new plays already given the stage is to
be almost monopolized during the coming
season by Amercan-made dramas. Prac-
tically every one of the novels by American
writer's which was successful during the
last year has been dramatized and awaits
production by a star of greater or less mag
nitude. The result Of the season from a
box office standpoint should be fair test
Of the drawing power of homemade dramas.
If a majority of the new plays are finan-
cially successful hereafter the United States
will be independent of the effete monarchies
of Europe in a dramatic way, as 1t has re-
Gently become in many other directions.
Before long we may have England, Ger
many and France sending over to this
country for dramas and farces, as they now
send for canned beef and wheat.

Educational Doubts.

Prof. Briggs "old- fashioned doubts about
the new-fashoned education" reprinted in
part in another portion Of today's Star
from The Atlantic Monthly, present in the
main a reproduction of the state Of the
lccal public mind with regard to the schools
OF this city. Probably nowhere else in the
country was there fuller example of the
new education" than in Washington under
the regime just closed. The tendencies of
which Prof. Briggs complains prevailed
here to an extreme degree. There was of
course. but little of the excessive develop
ment in the higher education which he in
diets so powerfully. for the new theories
had sway only over the graded schools and
the high school. But 1t is not to be doubted
that had there been a course beyond the
high school under the same dispensation
the additional menacss which the Dean
OF Harvard University discerns in the new
practices would have been in ample evil
dence.
Prof. Briggs speaks with the weight of
authority. Professor of English and dean
of the oldest and one Of the largest
universities in the country and one of
the most conservative as well. he Is
entitled to discuss this problem as are
few observers. He might be suspect
sympa HIKING with the new education, for
from the ranks of men situated as he is
come the most earnest advocates of this
school of instruction 1t is this fact that
gives the greater weight to his objections
They are reassuring TO the people of Wash
ington, if reassuranCes were needed after the
recent revolution. The capital is virtually
the pioneer in the reaction against the ultra
methods of the new school. 1t has drawn
upon itself the scornful attention of Mich
oIas Murray Butler, editor of the Edu-
cationai Review. 1t has been regarded with
mingled awe and amaZement by some other
communities where the new ideas have
taken root and bloOmed into rank growths
OF novelty and obscuration. But it has sur
yived the ordeal and ii is glad now to note
that its course has the support of emf
nent a judge Prof. Briggs, whose
doubts" so fOrcibly expressed, may be the
token of another reaction along the same
lines. in the very midst of the pronounced
advocates of the nature" school and the
inductive system. The capital city can take
care of its own educational problem but it
would be gratifed to find its course followed
soon by other communities, encouraged to
break away from the radicalism of the new
education by these signs of doubt in high
places.

Fixing Responsibility In China.

Now that Ii Hung Chang has started 10
Pekin we may probably safely assume that
we are at last on the eve of settlement oi
the Chinese difficulty And this settlement
must embrace of course both reparation lof
the wrongs committed by the Chinese
against civilized people residing within their
borders and civilized nations having of1clai
representatives at the Chinese capital. ana
safeguards against repetition of such OF
fenses.
We may expect some expert stunning on
the part of the Chinese in the matter OF hx-
ing the responsibility for what has taken
place. But We shall not err in assuming
that the guilty persons are in high office.
and that they acted in an Infamous spirit
of murder and treachery. The Boxers were
but the ignorant and fanatical tools of those
who by their intelligence and experience in
affairs were accountable for order In the
kingdom. and could have continued to keep
order. No such organization as that OF the
Boxers could have grown to such large pro-
portions and have shown such willingness
and preparedness for an outbreak without
the facts penetrating high official circles.
The whole affair was the work of the lower
classes only to the extent that they were
made the instruments for the execution of
vile and bloody policies concocted by those
at the top of the ladder.
The Chinese and their small number OF
outside apologists would saddle all the
blame on the missionaries. They liken mat
ters to what should witness In this
country if Chinese missionaries were to in
wade the United States and inaugurate a
religious propaganda on a large scale. But
this entirely ignores the fact that all mis-
sionaries, Americans included. have been at
work in China with the consent and guar
anteed protection of the Chinese govern
ment. They were not interlopers. They
had been tilling the religious soil for years,
and the Chinese had long been familiar with
the fruits of their labors. 1t was no sud-
den discovery of the presence Of unwei-
come people In the land presenting a new
and unwelcOme faith that set the mob
afoot, but the instigation of those in power.
on or near the throne bent, in violation of
all treaty and human rights. upon driving
all foreigners out of the kingdom.
China cannot cancel the rights she has
granted and under which so much has been
established within her borders: and the best
guarantee of them for the future will be
the adequate punishment of those who have
recently so appallingly violated them.
