ARBITRATION FOR CHINA

II is not easy to see on what ground any OF
the European powers regard the Chinese indem-
nifty question an unfit one for submission 10
the international court OF arbitration at The
Hague. Any power is, OF course quite AT ib-
erty 10 decline such submission. The funda-
mental principle of arbitration is that it shall
be voluntary, and nations motives in decln-
ing IL are not TO he challenged or called into
question. But the declaration that n certain
matter is not suited 10 settlement by arbitration
puts the maker of il under n certain obligation
TO demonstrate why IT is not thus suited On
general principles we should think this question
was particularly well suited 10 arbitration. The
first great piece of international arbitration was
over a question of indemnity. Certainly so far
as the Treaty of The Hague goes there is no
indication that such a case Is not properly 10 he
laid before the tribunal The Permanent Court
Of Arbitration organized for the purpose
''of facilitating the Immediate recourse To arbi-
'tratiOn of international differences which have
mot been settled by diplomacy" The ques-
ton of the size and mode of payment of the
Chinese indemnity is assuredly an "interna-
tional difference 1t has not been Settled by
diplomacy And II is eminently desirable that
1t should he settled in some way at the earliest
possible date.
of the indemnity had been fixed at $50. 600 900
taels now appears to have been incorrect. That
sum was indeed offered by China as one which
she could and would pay. and ii is understood
that some, perhaps most. OF the powers nfor-
mally regarded II as satisfactory. But there is
no Indication that there anything like n
formal agreement among the representatives of
The powers upon the subject. Both the amount
and the manner OF raising and paying II are
therefore yet 10 be decided upon. In view Of
that fact we can ground for the declara-
rion that the matter will he settled in another
fortnight The dispute over these identical
phases of the question has been dragging on
any nearer an end than 1t was weeks ago.
There is no assurance that another fortnight Of
il will bring n conclusion. But there is this
certain knowledge. that every days delay is
gravely injurious both 10 China and 10 the
powers themselves. II is pity the diplomats,
or the governments behind them, have not been
able before this TO come TO an agreement. 1t is
earnestly 10 he wished that they might come TO
such an agreement at once or in the very near
future. But they have not done so. and there
Is. so far as the world can see, no encouraging
prospect of their doing In such circum-
stances the proposal 10 submit the case TO the
court of arbitration is certainly deserving of
the most careful consideration by all powers
which really desire n prompt and equitable
settlement which, il is TO be assumed, means
all the powers

POLICY RAIDS.

No sooner had the police begun to congratu-
late themselves securing a respite from at
tack the partners of gambling than they
found their patronage of the meanest and most
harmful form of gambling called to public at

only four doors from police station.
most convincing demonstration that policy is
played on a large scale with the knowledge of
the police, and everybody who knows Tam
many will believe with purchased protection of
the police.
When the Tammany Committee of Five first
attacked the problem of vice Commissioner York
himself declared that the vice and gambling
they discovered existed because the police toer-
ated them. and that they tolerated them be-
cause they were paid TO do 50. He told the
truth in that first flush of indignation at a con-
dtion which perhaps he thought Mr.. Croker
honestly meant TO change. Everybody
knows that Tammany reform was only bluff.
The same people who We're then earnest for re-
form and anxious to make raids now complain
that gambling and other evils are necessary in
a great cosmopolitan city. and that il is wrong
10 interfere. 1t is odd, If raids harmful
and immoral from the Tammany point of view,
that Mr. Croker himself should have initiated
a movement which the Committee of Fifteen
has merely been so trouDieSOme ds 10 persist IN.
It is doubtless true that neither policy nor
other form of vice will be eradicated from this
city so long as gamblers and other vicious per
sons live here. as they are likely TO do for many
years to come. Raids have not been made TO
suppress vice" but 10 break up the partnership
of the authorities with vice. The hope of prov
ing by legal evidence the payment of protec-
tion money to persons high in power may he
futile but there can be no doubt that the raids
of the Committee of Fifteen have furnished
ample moral proof of such payment in conirma-
ton of Mr.. York's statement of last winter.
Captain Goddards raid may not stop policy,
though whatever may he said in extenuation
of the liberation of other gambling. no excuse
can he given for the protection of this form of
robbery of the poor; for policy is not n fair
game. but mere robbery of those who can least
afford to lose But even If our fear Of blue
laws" makes us set apart niche for policy, it
is intolerable that our police should be partners
in the business and il is To he hoped that Cap

Tammany that vice must not he pushed too

No. 70. VIZ. CRLNILNS.

When Mr.. John H. Crimmins boldly declared
the other day not only that gambling could not
be suppressed, bIt that he should not want 10
have II suppressed if il could he. he created
strong presumption that he had no idea of be
ing candidate Tor Mayor next fall. He has
now justified that view Of the matter by saying
emphatically that he would not accept the nom-
nation If il were offered 10 him. That may be
sensible decision. but Mr. Crimmns's chief
reason for taking his name off the list of posi-
hilifies is not altogether satisfactory. He feels
that he is too old. But how old is he: Why
his own conclusive statement is that he has
just passed his ffty-seyenrh birthday. and that
while he is not yet conscious Of physical in
firmities he knows that they likely 10 beset
him before long. Now. a fine young fellow of
fifty seven ought not 10 talk that way. Does
he want 10 encourage callow striplings of forty
or thcreahouts 10 get gay and assume that they
are the whole thing: OF course II is true. as
he says. that Il Mayor of NewYork nowadays
has considerable job on his hands. but multi
tude of men who viii never see another fifty
seventh birthday are constantly handling equal
ly tough jobs in a thoroughly workmanlike man
ner and getting any amount of fun out of the
process Moreover under the revised charter
the Mayors term is only two years so that If
Mr.. Crimmins should run and he elected he
would retire 10 private life before he was sixty.
There are some persons who think that Mr..
Crimmins would be beaten If he could he nomi-
mated. and that he has not the right Qualfca-
items for Mayor anyway. Others hold a pre-
cisely contrary opinion. but al present we are
not discussing that subject. Our intention Is
simply 70 warn Mr.. Crimmns that he must not
try TO narrow the field of choice by arbitrarily
fixing an age limit which would put an excessive
premium on youthful prodigies.
