PROTECTION AND CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

A true note is sounded by Senator Gali!nger
when he says as reported in The New.Y
Times that willie lie is n protecton!st and
opposed TO revision OF the Dingiey tariff he is
in favor of reciprocity with Cuba. Some OF his
fellow protectiOnists may be less thick and
thin" than he, and may take more favorable
view than he of reciprocity treaties with other
lands. That. however is apart from the Cuban
question. Upon the latter there is really no
room for disagreement As Senator Galiinger
says both justice and wise craftsmanship de-
mand the establishment of reciprocal trade rela
tions with Cuba.
There are two points of especial interest
raised in the utterance we have quoted. One is
that in the demand for reciprocity there is no
demand for revision of the Dingley tariff On
the contrary, reciprocity is intended to Obviate
all present need of such revision. There are few
things more mischievous TO commercial welfare
than frequent tariff tinkering" 1t is one of
the supreme merits of the Dingley tariff law
that it provides within itself certain dis
cretiOnary elasticity through which it can he
adapted to changing circumstances, and which
thus should make unnecessary any general re-
vision for considerable time At some time
no doubt, n general revision will be needed; ;
but that time is not yet. All that is now needed
is judiciOus application of those portions of
the law which provide for reciprocity in trade.
The other point is that there is no incompati-
bility conflict between protection and reel
procity. 1t is well TO bear that constantly in
mind. Reciprocity is the child of protection.
The first comprehensive scheme of reciprocity
was established under the Mckinley bill, which
certainly a stiff enough protectonist
measure. That scheme was abolished by the
Wilson BILL which professedly an anti
protectionist measure. 1t has been revived and
renewed by the thick and thin protectionist'
Dingley tariff law. With Senator Gallinger 1t
law at this time 1t is also well to oppose the
sighting or ignoring of any of the plain pro-
visions of that law. And the clauses of the
Dingley tariff law providing for reciprocity are
just as integral and valid parts of it as those
imposing duties upon tinplate and tobacco. The
negotiation Of reciprocity treaties is not a vio-
lation nor an abrogation but rather a fulfilment
of the Dingley tariff law.
All this applies TO reciprocity in general as
well as merely 10 reciprocity with Cuba. Con
cerning the latter island there are the addi-
tionai considerations, to which we are glad to
see Senator Gallinger gives due weight, that by
driving Spain from Cuba we deprived Cuba of
the Spanish market, and that by requiring the
acceptance OF the Platt amendment we have
placed Cuba in a sort of limited partnership
with dependence upon the United States
These facts make the demand for Cuban reci-
procity strong sentimental and moral
grounds as the letter Of the law makes it in
logic and reason, and current statistics and
trade tendencies make it on the ground of
profit in dollars and cents.

An INTERESTING VICTORY.

The campaign in the With Congress Dis
trict, which was spectacular in its inception
and progress, was remarkable in its outcome.
The plurality of more than four thousand votes
by which Muller was elected in 1900 was con-
yerted into plurality of 394 for the young
Republican, Lessler. on Tuesday, with remoter
consequences of considerable Importance in
prospect, among which may he mentioned
probable revolt against the Democratic leader

result is fortunate in that it will add an in
crement of strength, numerically and, we hope,
otherwise valuable. TO the Republican member

and involves no loss of any sort. There was no
public reason why Mr.. Belmonts fervent am
bition TO reoccupy n seat In the House should
be gratfed while any occurrence which tends
10 the disorganiZatiOn of Tammany at home
and an increase of the distrust with which it
is regarded elsewhere Is TO be welcomed on
general principles. If the defeated candidate
ventured out in yesterdays inclement weather
he must have observed that the mourners were
few and quiet 1t is n mercifui provision of
nature that time assuages the most poignant
sorrow, and there are some indiCaticDS already
that even Croker's grief will not prove incon-
solable.
As for Mr.. Lessler, he Is rot widely known
and not :iluch fairly be expected from him
beyond modest aud faithful performance of
such simple duties usually fall TO a new
member of Congress From his sensible little
speech to a crowd of his supporters on Tues
day night are glad 20 infer that he IS not
going to Washington under an impression that
he will necessarily be conspicuous figure there
merely because extraordinary conditions en-
abled him to gain an unexpected victory. II
he is familiar with recent political history he
will remember how a fantastic conception OF
his own Importance led a vain young man of
good natural abilities, who had been elected
TO Congress under somewhat similar c!rCu1n
stances, TO throw away his reputation and his
opportunity. Assuming that Mr.. Lessler will
not repeat that fatal mistake, we offer him our
heartiest congratua tions and best wishes.

BACK TO PEKING.

The return of the Chinese Court to Peking
was an incident at once spectacular and slgnl1-
cant As the epiogue of Il colossal tragedy 1t pos
sessed high dramatic and historical interest. AS
n pageant it was doubtless bewilderingly splen-
did beyond all conceptions of our less fiamboy-
ant Occidental minds. Silks and sablcs, plumes
and jewels. banners and canOpies, gray city
walls and plains of yellow sand the blast OF
bug,cs ard the clang of bells, all combined TO
make 1t, as a spectator says, al glorified Lord
Mayors show '-glorfed, as mathematicians
would say, to the Nth degree.
But il was even more significant than spec
tacular 1t meant much that TIE Court re-
turned at ali to Peking and did not remain
permanently at the ancient capital of Singan.
There were those who confidently declared the
Son of Heaven could never condescend TO re
enter the Forbidden City since the latter had
been profaned by foreign devils" Such pre-
dictions have now been faIsified, and the Chi
pese Court has returned to Peking with no
more compunctions than many a European
sovereign has had in reCaining his capital. II
meant much, too, that Emperor AMI DOwager
Empress returned. not solitary rs god" with
all the world forbidden To look on them, but
before the eyes of vast multitude. native and
foreign as openly as our President rides 10
his Inauguration. The spectacle Of the Chi
nese Emperor running the gantlet OF scores OF
tourists cameras was unprecedented In history.
1t meant emphatically that old things have
passed away, and many things. even in the
once Forbidden City. have become new.
The Court has returned to Peking. But
Peking is not the same and never can be the
same that 1t was Nor can the Chinese Court
itself resume its old existence change has
been effected which cannot be undOne, but
which will inevitably continue to work still
further transformations, until the whole EN-
pire is opened up and modernized. That fact is
patent to all the outer world. That ii Is patent
to and is accepted by the Chinese Court itself
is sufficiently indicated by the manner of this
homecoming at Peking.

THE NEW PRESIDENT OF COLUMBIA.

The promotion of Professor Nicholas Murray
Butler to the presidency of Columbia in place
of Mr. Low seems t. have given general salts
faction to the faculty, students, graduates and.
friends of the university. His equipment for
the post, especially the executive side, is
fully recognized by those who are most familiar
with his career, while as Editor of THE Edu-
cational Review and because of his activity
along other lines of educational work he has
gained a wide and helpful acquaintance among
men of influence In his profession He is young
in years to assume so heavy a responsibility,
but his experience has been long and varied.
and he has the great advantage of youthful
energy and enthusiasm.
If at times it has seemed to some of those
with whom DR. Butler has been brought into
association that he rather too confident OF
his own knowledge and judgment, they have
never failed to be impressed by his acute and
fertile intellect and his force of character. His
talents are of the kind that a modern univer-
sity more and more urgently requires, and
there is ample reason to expect that they VIII
be employed with gratifying success, as they
certainly will be with entire devotion, in the
service of Columbia He undertakes its adj
ministration at an exceedingly important and
interesting point in its history. The outline of
its probable development has been drawn, but
the task of rounding it into completeness re
mains If we are not mistaken, its internal
reorganization has not quite kept pace with its
material growth. The teaching staff needs TO
be both sifted out and recruited while here
and there large infusion of that vital energy
which the new president abundantly possesses
is clearly indicated. as the doctors would say
With manifold problems, new and old, con-
fronting him. and among them the financial
requirements of permanent prosperity, but sus-
tained by the confidence of his colleagues and
an eager sense of personal aptitude, the pros
pect is doubtless exhilarating 10 DR.. Butler.
And that is the mood in which able men accom-
plish notable results.
