American agent strikes the old aristo-
Gratis of European chancellories as boor-
ishness, their lawyer-like arguments as
pettifogging, and their cool persistence
as distinctly overbearing. American
agents, we fancy, do sometimes use
final arguments, the word "unfriendly,"
for instance, a little to soon, and their
interlocutors get as angry as PalmerS-
ton was when he rebuked Walewski for
using the word war; "a word which
should never be employed between di-
plomatists They do not think Ameri-
cans respectful enough In their mention
of the great; they fret at their ignor-
ance of comparative rank, and they are
as shocked as great solicitors at their
Impotence of long delays. Every
trained diplomatist has in him trace
of the great eccesiastic, who thinks
that, as time Is nothing to God, 1T
should be nothing to the church either.
Altogether they find the American di-
plomatists an irritating element In the
family and would like very much an
opportunity of displaying their real SEN
timents toward them. We do not know
that this temper In ordinary times mat
ters much, but when grave issues are at
stake the hostile humor of an entire
profession does not tend to pacification

TIE ZEAL THING.

When New Haven wants to do the
handsome she doesn't have to follow
the hounds while the hounds follow the
scent of the aniseed-bag. She has the
real thing. The fox-hunt on Grand
avenue yesterday morning was very
exciting Society in that region was
out in full force, and the scene remind
ed those who have not been in old En-
gland of English fox-hunts. Sunday
morning may not be the most appropri-
ate time for 1.-THE hunt" but perhaps
some of the arguments which are used
to support Sunday golf will apply. Any
how, 1t is certain that whenever condi-
tions are as favorable as they We're yes
terday the fox will be hunted in New
Haven, be it Sunday or any other day.
And wont Hartford be envious when
she reads about the hunt here. 1t is

The Bryanites feel obliged to appear
to be hopeful about something, and so
they say they are hopeful about carry
ing New York, New Jersey Indiana and
Connecticut this year. The kind of job
they have before them is indicated by
the Republican pluralities in those
States four years ago, when the Bry
antics We're also hopeful These plural
tiles were: In New York, 26S,469; in
New Jersey, 1852; in Indiana, 1881;

those pluralities this year is like

nor Roosevelt said: II stand just where
I did two months ago. l am not a cam
didate for President and l will not
accept if I am nominated" Now the
news comes from Philadelphia that
Colonel Quay, Senator Plat and others
in sympathy with them held a confer
ence Saturday night, at which it was
decided to bring Roosevelt to the front
as a candidate, stampede the conven-
ton for him and force his acceptance
of the nomination. 1t is announced
that the Pennsylvania delegation will
be for Roosevelt, and the leader of the
Quay forces Is reported as saying
Roosevelt is the idol of the young Re-
publicans of the whole country, and as
governor of New York be has demon
strated that he possesses a high order
of executive ability. He is able, pro-
gressive patriotic and conservative.
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania are a
unit In favor Of his nomination Our
delegation will vote for him. and have
no doubt he will be nominated" Other
strong declarations in his favor are also
made.
The situation Is becoming decidedly
interesting. The fact that Roosevelt
doesn't want the nomination will rather
help than hinder those who are trying
to nominate him. There are few who
believe that he or any other man would
not accept the nomination and there
are many who believe that II he
shouldn't he wouldn't be doing his duty
by the party. He Is in a tight place.
and though 1t is possible that he feels
that he would rather be President than
Vice President, he may be compelled to
be Vice President.

asks Of II is that # shall not do him
harm and he thinks it won't if he is
careful enough in his use of it. 1t af-
fords him some enjoyment. That is, of
course, the secret of alcohol's prodgious
popularity, that it affords enjoyment.
The problem is to get out of it rea-
sonable moderate amount of enjoy
ment without paying too high a price
for it. 1t can be done, and is done all
