Ex-Governor Jone. for the Bench

All who have intimate knowledge of ex-
Governor Jones OF Alabama applaud his ap-
pointment to a seat on the federal bench
His personal character Is of the highest
His professional attainments have secured
him recognition among the ablest lawyers
In the south. His course in politics has
been marked by fairness and conservatism,
and as member of the recent constitu-
tional convention in Alabama he stood for
a revision of the suffrage on lawful rather
than on partisan and race lines, and
for laws that would put an end to the
lynching evil His speech advocating the
holding Of sheriffs responsible for the safe
ty of their prisoners, a liberal extract from
which was printed In The Star at the time
was one of those clear calls TO duty which
indicate intellectual courage and moral ele-
walton. His proposition in the end was de-
feated. but the defeat did not deprive the
author Of the credit attaching to so worthy
an effort to make secure the supremacy of
the law as against mob passion and organi-
cation.
For these reasons the President, 1t is gen.
orally agreed. has done well in appointing
Governor Jones 10 the vacant judgeship. One
OF the greatest Of questions now, and par
ticuiariy in the south. is the execution of
the laws. 1t Is In no sense political oues-
ton, but goes TO the very root of things
and must be dealt with In a spirit of the
highest and broadest nationality. The mob
has been growing boider and boIder, and
not infrequently seeks to Justify itself by
alleging that the courts are slow and in
competent: that they encourage delays and
appeals on technicaiitfes. ard really make
necessary In the interests OF justice these
breezy and high handed sentences imposed
and executed by popular Indignation. fhe

The Ameer Dead.

The death Of the Ameer Of Afghanistan,
just reported, has caused a sensation in for
eign political circles. Grave possibilities
are opened which may lead to changes in
the map of Asia, possibly even Of Europe.
The specter of Turkish dismemberment,
with all of its serious chances for conflict.
draws nearer IN the minds of the foreign
gossips. The ameer has been so long an
important factor in eastern affairs, through
his ability to control his turbulent subjects
and thus to prevent any reason for Russian
Intervention on the border, that his re-
moval now by death leaves the whole ques-
ton Of Anglo-Russian relations in the air
for the present. If his son and successor
should prove to be as strong man the
danger will be minimized. If, on the other
hand, he is weak or incompetent, there
Will be reason to look for aggressive ac-
tions on the part of one or the other of the
two great rivals who, separated by the
Afghans, are jealously watching every
move.
The ameer was more friendly toward
England than Russia. He might readily
have caused much trouble by a reversal Of
policy. But, whatever his motives, he pre-
ferred to remain theoretically in this man
ner neutral, while throwing the slight bal
ance of his moral favor toward the power
which was less likely to seek his territory.
The advances of Russia In Turkestan to-
ward the east have seriously alarmed the
ameer at times, and few years ago when
a Russian survey was made for railroad
which headed straight for Herat and was
aimed to give the long-desired Russian
outlet on the Persian gulf, the mountain
ruler showed signs of resentment A
weaker personality than his would probably
long ago have been brought under the
Russian influence, provided England had
not intervened.
The change In Afghanfstan reacts in a
large measure toward the west and af-
fects the relations between Turkey and
Russia Doubtless as a pure coincidence
comes the assertion that Turkey Is making
advances to Russia in the matter of the
French claims, asking the conciliatory me-
diation of Russia with France and Offering
In return the port of Burghas on the Black
sea, ten hours steaming from Constanti-
nople. The dispatches from Constantinople
describe Burghas as a highly desirable ac-
cession, giving easy command of the Dar-
danelles. The report requires no very Sc
rious immediate consideration. Russia has
already number of excellent ports on the
Black sea, Odessa and Sebastopol among
them. which afford quick access to the
Dardanelles and are in railroad communi-
cation with st. Petersburg. While the Rus
sian government would be likely to accept
any bonus thus thrown at it, the strategic
value of Burghas is not apparently such as
to warrant the belief that 1t would tempt
st. Petersburg to restrain France from
pressing the sultan over hard.

Reciprocity.
From the Lewiston Mel Journal.

feIH tue (.It.J 1OufHHI.
1t pleases the free traders to confound
free trade with fair trade-Wilson-G Gorman-
ism with McKinleyism, mugwump with re-
publican doctrine. President Mckinley
never intimated that he desired to over
throw the protective system. On the con-
trary his purpose. SO far as indicated, was
to utilize to the utmost the advantage of
position which our position gave US to OBJ
tain the best terms In the exchange OF con-
cessions. 1t is only confusing at once the
means and the issue to say, as a good many
people are saying. that President McKin-
ley in the last days Of his life recanted Lis
belief in the value of the protective prln-
ciple. Reciprocity, for which Mckinley and
Blaine contended and for which the Ding
ley tariff bill provides, Is scientific protec-
tion-a study of mass-advantage in the set
tlement of tariff schedules.

The Bulgarians who demanded $40 O0O
ransom for missionary may succeed in
collecting the money. Indeed, common
humanity seems to demand that the pay
ment be made. But there Is no assurance
TO be offered these enterprising cut throats
that the incident will be considered closed
upon the payment of the money, and the
restoration Of their captive. The amount
Of trouble in store for them may reason
ably be assessed at far beyond the cash
figure they have mentioned

First President From q Great City
From the Review of Reviews

1t should not escape attention that of all
the long line Of illustrious Presidents, Theo-
dore Roosevelt is the first to be t5rn and
brought up in a great city Other Presi-
dents have passed over to cities, and SO
have become more or less Identified with
city conditions and city life, notably Presl-
dents Arthur, Cleveland and Harrison; but
Mr. Roosevelt is the first President to rep
resent and to reflect in his very fiber the
cosmopolitanism OF the great modern city,
and that city-New York.

TARIFF DISPUTE WITH RUSSIA

reads:

Importation into the United States of any article,
the produce manufacture of Russia. and no
higher or other duties shall be imposed the

By levying maximum duties on United States
bicycles. resins and machinery and specially desig-

Government has 1t is not doubted. made just such
discrimination as is provided against in this
article OF the treaty. The question is also raised.

The junk man and his son, who nave sold il. have
been arrested by the Federal authorities, and their
case is being considered by the Federal grand jury

There is no shortage in any OF the departments
