American Diplomacy.

At a banquet by the New York clam
Der of commerce Secretary Hay said q
few eloquent words about American dip
lomacy. The "Momoe doctrite aud the
golden rule" he declared, were the chart
by which this country's rule of conduct
toward the rest OF the world was being
regulated. r We have no more desire to
get any OF the territory of the countries OF
Central and South American, he re.
marked, than We have TO annex the
noun aims of the moon. This is fact,
too, as all Americans know, which is
coming to be understood by all intelli-
gent persons in the countries to the south
Of us. Some of the addresses by the
delegates at the Pan-American congress
in the City of Mexico have paid magniti-
cent tributes to the service rendered all
those nations by the United tates.
The fact has been tina. the Americans
have won many notable diplomatic tri-
umphs in their century of history, and
many of these have been in the interest
of the worlds civilization and progress.
Adams, franklin and jay. in the Paris
treaties of l7S2-S3 by which England rec
ognized the independence of the Uuited
States, circumvened some very sharp in
trigues by our allies, France and Spain,
which were designed to deprive us of
some of the fruits OF victory won in the
war Of liberation. In the treaty of Ghent
of 1914, which brought the war of 1872 20
an end, the count"y's representative did
some effective WORK, although their
countrymen never gave tn IN any credit
for it. In the ueaty Of Washington, of
1871, in which the Alabama claims dis
pute with England was settled, the prin-
ciple of international arbitration gained
its first and most distinctive triumph.
All these triumphs OF Am rica's diplo-
mats, and many others which could be
named, have contributed to the worlds
achievement. The establishment of the
American republic, accomplished by the
t eaty of Paris ola century and finh
ago, has been the cause If the creation of
the score of republics which have been
created since then, AMI has lorced the bet
terment of the political condition o. the
people OF all the monarchical govern
ments. One of the distinctive features of
many OF Americas diplomatic couquests
is that tleir benefits are not confined to
the United States, but are shared in one
degree and another by the peopleofevery
nation, This sort of diplomacy, coupled
with the craftsmanship which put it into
operation, is entitled 10 the worlds high
est praise.

Trust Hurt by Tariff.

The efforts of the free traders TO put
into the public. mind the idea that the
tariff is responsible for trusts and for
whatever evils are connected with them
keep getting one hard knock after anoth-
er by coming into contact with hard facts
and unyielding logic. Perhaps, though,
they have never received harder knock
than that which has been delivered by
the present situation in the sugar indus
try, when the sugar trust is the most act
i've agent in attempting to secure the rat-
fication of treaty of reciprocity with
Cuba admitting Cuban raw sugar free of
duty. The trust finds itself unable to
crush out the independent producers and
refners of beet sugar and it is therefore
attempting TO accomplish their destruc-
ton by having them deprived Of the pro-
lection which is afforded to them by the
tariff. In this case the fact frequently
pointed ont by protectionists, viz, that
the result Of attempting to curb tie pow
er of trusts by the abolition of TIE pro-
tective tariff on the articles produced by
them would be the destruction Of the
small producers and the annihilation of
domestic competition with the trust, is
made so manifest that he who runs may
read. Circumstances have not developed
in such a way as to make this fact equal
ly manifest in the cases of other indus
tries, but the reasoning man can work it
out for himself.

The right way TO succeed in politics
whether it is the easi st way or not, is
to pursue a steady and straightforward
course, with no purpose but 10 be aith-
full and efficient servant of the people.
By so doing public man wins the conf
1ence and esteem of the masses and
makes himself much stronger than any
political bartering could make him. For
example, nobody ever heard Of William
Mckinley entering into any political
deals. His only guide to public action
was his conviction of duty. He was
broad-minded and Diplomatic, and did
not unnecessarily offend anybody, and
to that extent he was politician. Bui he
sought rather to gain the approval Of the
people in general Than to make compacts
with politicians. BY so doing be won
the confidence Of his fellow countrymen
and made himself the leader of leaders,

ANOTHER victory has been gained by
the American soldiers in fight in the
Philippines. As usual the Americans
had to contend against heavy odds. This
OF course, means that pacifcatioG in the
islands is far from being complete. The
American people were led a short time
a. by reports from the Philippines that
the insurrectiUn all over the archipelago
was subdued but this was an error. A
large army will have to be held in the
islands for year or two perhaps for
halfa dozed years-yet. Pscifcation will
be finished sooner or later, however, and
the Filipinos will have just as good reas-
on to be glad of it as the Americans. A
great future is in store for Americas tel
ritOry in Asiatic waters.

Reciprocity with Canada.

The American eople are quite as anN-
ious as the people ofCanada can I've for the
maintenance of amicable relations. but a
matter of busin, IS must be treated aud
delt with on strictly business principles,
regardless OF sentiment. The question OF
reciprocity between Canada and the Unit
ed States has been more or less discussed
for years. 1t was before the Joint high
commission. where its consideration was
blocked by the attitude of the Canadian
Government in regard to the Alaskan
boundary issue. Canada has had several
opportunities to open negotiation for rec
iprocity il she had been prepared to max e
propositions deemed 10y our government
to be fair and equitable. Doubtless she
will he given another opportunity if she
shall as for it, but it will again be to no
purpose unless she materially modIfies
her position, so as to make il practicable
to enter into a trade a. rangement that
will be really reciprocal and not, as was
th' treaty Of 1854, one sided, practically
all the benefit going to Canada.
1t j. quite true that 1t is desirable TO
retain the Canadian trade, but are we
likely to lose any OF it even If there
should not be a reciprocity treaty? Cana
da has preferential tariff for British
manufactures of SS l-3 per cent, yet our
trade with the Dominion has steadily
grown. However, let Canada be given
to understand that if she wants to talk
closer trade relations we will listen to
her, but that any proposition for recipro-
city, in order to receive serious consid-
GRAFTON, must be thoroughly reciprocal in
character Omaha Rec

OF this state the penitentiary prisoners

these are conspicuous: The prisoners

community; the construction of good

is decreased, and the number of prison

Good Roads and Farm Values.

While II is true that statesmen, finan-
ciers and other citizens Of the Empire
State are perfectly aware ofsthe ad-
vantages which would accrue from the
possession Of smooth and permanent
roads. it Is equally certain that there is
need of substantial argument and dem
onstration in the matter among resi-
dents Of the rural districts, says the
New York Sun. Such residents, natu-
rally enough, vigorously oppose the i'm
position Of additional taxes for i'm
provements which. they declare, would
benefit rich people more Immediately
than others. Most farmers overlook
the fact that better highways would
enable them to draw heavier loads
than they are nble to draw now, world
entail less wear and tear upon their
wagons. would save much time in
transportation and would considerably
increase the value of their farm prop.

FREE RURAL DELIVERY.
Continuance of the Service Depends
on Good Roads.


on Good Roads.
In the forthcoming report of Super
intcndcnt Machin OF the free dul.:cry
service there will be an extended dis
cussion Of the necessity of good roads
In the extension and maintenance of
the service. Heretofore 1t has been re-
quired that In the establishment of tho
service first consideration should be
given to the condition of the roads. 1t
has developed that inspectors have only
superficially considered this question.
Recent official inquiries disclose the
fact that portion Of the roads Of more
than 1000 Of the 1900 routes now in
operation requires some repairs. While
the roads In the southwestern states. as
rule are in good condition there are
sections where repairs are regarded us
essential In order that an uninterrupt-
ed service may prevail during all the
year. Several months ago announce
ment was made that there were routes
In Wisconsin, Illinois. Minnesota, the
DakotaS ard iowa T'.iere the service
would be discontinued unless repairs
and improvements reported to the de-
partmcnt al; necessary were made. In
most Of these cases the warning Of the
department has been hceded. 1t is evi-
dent, however. In several instances that
no serious consideration has been given
to the announcement Of the postmaster
general IN THIS connection.
In such cases the department is ad-
vising road supervisors and other in
tercsted officials thai the lack of care
given to the roads covered by rural
routes will, If continued. endanger the
permancncy Of the service. In discuss
ing this question today Superintendent
Machin expressed the opinion that ru-
raj delivery would eventually solve the
question Of good roads.
