The Ream In Our Own Eve

The reason given for the recall of Mr..
Wu-his popularity in America-causes a
smile. 1t looks like Furnishing man for
doing his duty and achieving success. Why
was he sent here? The Chinese have every
right to consider this mission a difficult
one. We close our gates againsA them.
and make a difference between them and
Europeans. and yet continue through dip
lomauc channels friendly business rela-
tions with them 1t is necessary therefore
that their representative at this capital
should be a man of address. Mr.. Wu has
filled this BILL He has indeed, by his ad-
dress, made for himself a place apart in
the official circle In which he moves His
popularity Is as unusual as II is pronounc-
ed. But it has not grown out of neglect
of China's interests, of any GOODNESS on
his part toward his countrymen On the
contrary, in all of his public deliyerances-
and they have been not a fe%-he ha s
championed China and her people in a view
of breezy comparison we'll calculated to
make his American auditors pinch them
selves to ascertain whether or not they
could be awake. And sthe reward of his
government for all this is recall.
Still, before censuring John Chinaman Sc
verely for this. it might be well for us to
consider q case of our own. For years
the English mission has been our most
important foreign billet. And yet we have
made it the most difficult for any capable
man to fill. Snobbery has been charged
upon every American representative to the
court of ST. James. Mr.. Lowell the most

ed him, soon came under the same ban.
The great name OF Lincoln could not alto
gether shield the dignified gentleman who

down on his head some deserved censure
for sentiments of disrespect to his coun-
trymen. but before that he had been lee
tured for his popularity in England. Mr.

Discussing Reciprocity.

The members of the New York Board of
Trade engaged in manufactures will meet
on Thursday to discuss the question OF
commercial reciprocity The purpose ex-
pressed in the Gail is:
For liberal comparison of views on
the subject to formulate some, expression
of the sentiment of the meeting, ana, II
deemed desirable. to select and recommend
to the board ten delegates TO the natlOnaI
reciprocity convention which will be held
in Washington, ID. C. on November 10.
The undersigned are aware that d1Her-
ent views of the value of commercial rec
iproCity are held among manufacturers, and
have not ourselves compared opinions
The meeting. therefore is called abSo-
lUteIy without prejudice or bias and those
attending Will shape conclusions.
This is the spirit which should animate
the national convention of manufacturers
TO be held here. The question of reciproc-
ity is in large degree an open one. That is
to say, while nearly everybody admits that
reciprocal arrangements With foreign coun-
tries are necessary for the extension of
American trade. there is a variety of oFin-
ion as to the terms upon which they should
be made. The man therefore who comes
forward with the whole matter solved, la
beled and ready to lie handed out to all
who apply for wisdom is not the most use
prove, not the best friend of reciprocity.
The man entitled to more attention is the
one who. even with plan of his own to
submit, is yet anxious to hear from others
on the subject and willing to make con-
cessions in the general interest.
We hear a good deal about the Presi-
dents position. On the one hand he is
represented aggressiveiy in favor of rec
iprOcity and likely to make that subject
the feature of his message to Congress.
And in doing So Il is contended. he will but
be following the line that Mr.. Mckinley
had laid down for himself. On the other
hand it is represented that he is certain not
to mention the subject in his regular mes
sage to Congress. and that 1t is a tess-up
whether he addresses that body on the sub
ject at any time during the coming session.
The gossips on both sides are having their
fling. What is positively known is that
the President Is discussing the subject in
all of it's phases with weli-informed men in
Congress and out. and Inanifesting a keen
desire for the fullest information obtain
able. In this he Is setting a good exam
pie for everybody. and adding to the i'm
portance and to the value of his views
when they shall appear.
The number of those who declare for rec
fprocity, and then go on 10 show that on
anything like an extensive scale it is wholly
impracticable. is not large. Their attitude is
like that of the famous old lady who gave
her daughter permission to go out to swim,
but warned her against going near the
water. If reciprocity is a good thing it is
practicable and if 1t be applied by any
people it surely can be by those who have
a good deal to sell as well as to buy. Let
US have a full, free discussion at the COM
ing Washington meeting by those who
really desire to see the ends of reciprocity
promoted.

Southern Appofntmen

II i alleged that one of the men recentIv
appointed to an Office in the south bv the
President was an ardent silver advocate A
few years ago. aud that his record on the
lynching question is none Of the best The
suggestion is made therefore that the ap-
pointment be canceied.
Presumably the President did not decide
to go outside Of his own party in the south
in making appointments to office whenever
he might consider it advisable without a
fair knowledge of the southern situation of
former days as well of the present day
For years all the democrats of the south
seemed to be for silver. At any rate the
men they sent 10 Congress voted for free
coinage at every opportunity. 1t was rot
until 1895 that the question assumed So Sc
rious a phase that a division took place
among southern democrats When academic
discussion and ineffective voting In Con
gress finally led up to AIR. Bryan and the
Chicago platform. then many southern
men who for long time had been shout
ing for silver changed front and declared
for the gold standard. Brought face to
face with the proposition to commit the
government to the policy of free silver un-
der President elected for that purpose.
they rejected 1t. Since then they have
been known as gold democrats
The lynchlng question has ceased to he q,
sectional question. The evil has spread un-
til there are but few states without
notches on their sticks. Republican gov
ernors and democratic governors alike seem
unable to administer the laws against
lynehing. Some of the oldest towns on the
map are as deeply stained with the evil as
the toughest of the frontier settlements.
Certain il is that although the crime Is
denounced and depiored by both press
and pulpit, and Judges on the bench charge
the grand juries the subject up TO the
hilt. either no indictments are found no
convictions follow on the ones that are

Freer Reciprocal Trade.

now at the parting of the ways between a
war of tariffs with all that it invoive3, and
a policy of reciprocity. Mr.. McHinley's last
speech before his assassination, 1t will be
remembered, pointed in this latter direc-
ton; and it seems possible that the Amcri-
cans. having safe-guarded the struggling
youth of their industries by prorec ", du-

Dead Leaves.

The correspondent who in last evening s
Star complained of the burning of dead
leaves in the streets in such manner as to
injure the trees has performed a public
service which should be Immediately recog
nized by some form of official action. The
accumulations of leaves in the cutters of
the city have been a great annoyance to
the householders. affording a temptation to
the small boys, who have reveled in un-
lawful fires for three or four weeks The
smell of the burning leaves has been most
disagreeable, and the writer Of the let
ter points out. some of the shade trees have
been damaged by the flames anu heat The
trees are now quite dry and suffer quickly
from such a cause The city's beauty lies
largely in its shade trees which are enti-
tied TO the greatest of private and official care
at all seasons. The street cleaning depart
mert may be unable under its present plan
of work to cope with the leaves at this
season. but If so some other arrangements
should be at once made to relieve the
streets of the debris and to remove the
opportunity to make bonfres from the
reach of the small boys. The street-burn-
ing method of refuse disposal is by no
means suited to the national capital

measure excuses the crime, but it shows
how far public sentiment generally has
gone astray on what is a blot upon the
age.
The President in the matter of these ap-
pointments is probably hunting for neither
saints nor delegates. He must take men as
he finds them, rand as the home environ
ment has shaped them. He has a right to
demand that they meet the requirements
of this day. whatever they may have been
"a few years ago. Where politics for quar-
ter of century has been mere prejudice
and public discussion practically denied, It
is good deal for man to want such
condition of affairs ended, and to be willing
to help end 1t.

Value of Street Franchises.

An illustration that throws a side light
upon street franchises comes from Balti-
more. In the early days of the street raj
ways it was provided that a percentage of
the gross income should go to the support
of public parks For some time there has
been an effort to get the park accounts into
print and in the Baltimore papers of yes
terday several columns were given of the
figures. 1t was shown that the income of
the park department last year was s296.
594.73 and of this total $685., 41O.3S came from
the per cent tax upon the gross earnings
of the street railway companies In other
words, these companies supported the whole
park system of the city and at the same
time made money while giving their patrons
free transfers.
