The Jersey Central Strike.

Much more depends upon the decision in
the Jersey Central strike situation than the
mere interruption of business on this line
and the temporary loss Of the pay of the
roads own employees. 1t Is necessary only
TO look back to the Chicago affair of a few
years ago to see what serious matter a
railroad strike is. however local may be the
first cause. The organization of the rail-
road men is peculiarly compact The Chi
cago strike changed the situation material

way Union out of existence through the
downfall OF Eugene V. Debs, its head But
the danger of a sympathetic strike remains
and II IS this that makes the case today so

churian treaty? II so, what? She wanted
the treaty That was made plain by. the
secrecy attending It's preparation. and the
pains taken to explain 1t to the powers
upon it's production. That is, the pains
taken to assure the powers that it was all
right, and contained nothing inimical to
their interests. The text of the treaty is
still Russian secret. But objection hav-
ing developed and been emphasized, Russia
now says, "Oh, very well. 1 don't care to
press the matter in the circumstances. I
still hold that I was within my rights.
But China has been encouraged to make
herself disagreeable 1 shall try to get
along without the treaty. I am on the
ground in force. and that means much. If
there is any doubt on that point let him
test it who entertains the doubt.
This is the pith of the matter. The
treaty would have served a purpose, but
1t was by no means indispensable to Rus
s;a's program. She can accomplish her
purpose without the treaty. Her object is
the control OF Manchuria, and that she is
now exercising and is prepared to continue
to exercise. Nobody has as yet said her
nay. She has a large army in the prov
inCe. and reserves ready to be rushed in IL
needed The combined forces of the pow
ers elsewhere in China is small in compari-
son with this Russian force in Manchuria.
Who then shall say her nay? And how
well prepared must that power be If any
interests are so menaced as to bring a
champion into the field demanding a strict
compliance with the terms entered into
last year by all the powers for the preser-
vation of the territorial integrity of the
Chinese empire?
AS a matter of fact, therefore, Russia
need lose nothing by abandoning this
treaty She has but to keep her present
hold on Manchuria, to continue to insist
that that hold is necessary, to secretly stir
w little strife at any time pacihcation of
the province may appear to be making too
much headwav, and her object will be ac-
complished. Withdraw while her interests
are in great danger? Withdraw while Chi
nese hatred of her remains strong? Not
bit of it! Who knows she does what the
real situation there is? Who knows as she
does how to deal with this turbulent popu-
lation. which but for her restraining arm
would throw the country into anarchy In
twenty-foUr hours?
The Russian plays the game OF war or
politics, or diplomacy with far-famed skill
He has persistency, and craft beyond ordi-
nary measure. As the hart panteth for the
water brooks. so pants he for this slice of
China which he now has marked off with
the point of his bayonet. There are mill
lions in it for him. and decisive strategic
ad.dntages in his growing ambition to out

Park are affected by the bridges which are
now to be built. OF what avai1 win it be
for the government to expend millions IN
park development and the rescue of the
water front from its present deplorable
condition IL the general aspect Of the capi-
tai from the south and west Is to be marred
by the intrusion of an ugly railway trestle
across the river park and the stream, such
as may be found in any commercial city?
Not even O memorial bridge, with its i'm
pressive outlines and its rich ornamental
tion, nor a new Long bridge, with per-
haps more conservative attempt at artistic
designing and execution, can overcome the
bad effect of a merely utilitarian structure
reared to permit steam communication be-
tween Washington and Virginia. This rail-
road bridge will be. for many years, the
southernmost of the Potomac river cross
ings, and will, therefore, in the view from
the south, that had by all passengers on
approaching steamers, affect the impress
sion produced by the more northeriy
bridges. To construct beautiful structures
north Of this trestle line, therefore. would
be like stretching a strip of dirty canvas
across the face of a beautiful painting.
Steam railroad bridges may be made hand
some without prohibitive expense. There

compare favorably with passenger bridges.
Europe furnishes many examples of highly
artistic structures devoted exclusively to
this use. Washington Is destined to become
a city of wonderful beauty. 1t Is the ex-
pressed desire and determination OF the
people of the states to make 1t rival the
capitals of Europe. This fact should be
held firmly in view by the War Depart
ment's representatives in their jurisdiction
over the plans of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company for the bridge. The govern
ment has dealt most generously with this
corporation. giving 1t freely many acres OF
valuable public land and confirming It's
holding in one of the most important OF
the capitals parks 1t is not too much
now to expect that the corporation shall
return a measure of compensation for these
gifts by erecting a new bridge which shall
fit smoothly into the grand scheme OF park
DEVELOPMENT and capital adornment.

BeautffyinE Washington.
From the Worcester Gazette.


Plans are being prepared for the exten.
sion and Improvement of the park system
in Washington which, when perfected. will
do much to add to the beauty of the capi-
tai city. They will include a park system
covering every portion of the District The
mali will be made national park extend
ing from the Capitol to the monument, and
laid out with lakes, bridges, drives, bouIe-
wards and statuary. There will be an.
other park from the monument to the pro-
posed memorial bridge, across the Potomac
which, it is planned shall be the most
beautiful of its kind in the world. From
the memorial bridge across the city to the
Geological Park there will be magnificent
boulevard. Throughout the city. the small
parks will be laid out anew, and fountains
lakes, miniature bridges and grottoes
added. 1t is figured that the work will
cost in all fully s4,000,OO0. The expendi-
ture will extAd over term of years, and
in the end it Is believed the complete sys-
tenn win be superior to any other in the
world. If the result is accomplished the
money will be well spent for all Americans

A King of Trade.

TT one would appreciate the Importance
of trade in this era let him consider the
extraordinary interest that attaches to
Pierpont Morgan's visit abroad. Mr.. Nor
gan is now on the sea, and will be absent
from home several months. He is expected
in both England and Germany, and specu-
Iation has already begun by cable as to
what his full purposes may be. ana what
the chances are for their accomplishment.
His movements are followed as closely as
those of royalty, and like royalty also he
is treated to threats against his life. just
before he sailed there was cable to the
effect that some ironworkers in England,
fearing for their jobs, had declared they
would put out of the way this man who
was gobbling up everything in their line
in order to give Americans the monopoly
of the markets.
The explanation of all this Is that MIR.
Morgan is now the recognized leader of
American financiers. His name Is known
wherever business is conducted on any
thing like a large scale and men are figur-
ing on the future. He represents moro
active capital in one form or another than
probably any other one man in the world.
He enjoys the prestige of great success.
He has been touching all sorts Of things,
and turning everything to gold. His In
yestments are in bonds, in lands in mines,
In mills, in railroads, in what not. And
his associates are men like himself, of ex-
perience and approved credit. Nothing Is
thought to be beyond his powers or ambi-
tion in the business line. The canard as
cribing the purpose to him to complete the
Panama canal and operate it for private
company with himself at the head would
not have lived an hour with any other
name attached. With his name attached
it called for and received formal denial.
Mr.. Morgan, 1t is believed, has something
to propose to MEN of means across the
water, and his coming therefore is awaited
with lively interest. What it may be is a
question 1t may be something entirely
new. 1t may be something in connection
with his big undertakings already in ex-
istence. But whatever it may be, Mr.. Nor
gan IS assured at least of a hearing. He
has done so much that even more Is ex-
pected of him. and those seeking invest
ments are likely to welcome an opportunity
to put their money in where he is one of
the directing forces. And this is why his
movements just now are commanding as
much attention as are those of the con-
trollers of empires. His empire is trade,
and he exercises very great power there
We are getting to be sordid people,"
Is the lament of those Americans who see
smash just ahead. AS matter of fact, it
Is, and has always been. a sordid sort of
world, and if We are to keep up with the
procession We Of necessity must obey the
spirit of the age. We are now at the head
Of the worlds producers; and why have
we labored to attain that place if not to
hold it? And so the promoter of trade ON
a gigantic scale is now one of the striking
figures of the day.

1t is to be regretted that the Cubans sit
ting in convention in Havana are disposed
to reject the terms of relationship with
the United States laid down in the Platt
amendment. as is very clearly indicated by
the action Saturday, when the convention
refused, "a to g to accept the amendment.
The refusal Of the convention to frame a
constitution in accordance with this project
OF relationship means that the period of
American military occupation is to be pro-
longed, and the possibility OF misunder-
standing increased. The hope is that fur
ther deliberation and possibly the visit of
a commission to the United States will
change the conventions point of view.
Should the convention adopt a constitution
on lines divergent from the PIatt amend
ment there will be nothing for this govern
ment to do, under it's instruction from
Congress, but to await a reconsideration by
either the Cubans or by Congress next win
ter. The latter event is not regarded as
likely. The former is more probable, unless
all signs fail. even though the present
mood of the delegates is so markedly for
rejection.

Aguina1dO's Usefulness.
From the Boston Herald

We fear that our anti-imperialist friends
will have to abandon their estimate of
Aguinaldo as a man of stalwart heroic
mold. His prompt offer Of allegiance to
the United States since his capture con-
flicts with such theory of the man. Stin,
it does not follow that the little gentle
man is without influence among his coun-
trymen. The fact that he Is already car
rying a considerable number Of them with
him tends to confirm this view, rather.
There is clear field for usefulness open
to Aguinaldo in his attitude as peace
maker. He can do something toward
bringing an unfortunate war to an end.
All admit that the war is unfortunate.
and he must be eccentric indeed who
finds now any benefit to anybody In pro-
longing It, 1t Is probable that, If Aguinaldo
is half the man that his admirers have
claimed him to De. he can be successfully
utilized for this work.
