Cincinnati. Richmond and Muncie
railroad which has ordered the Amer
lean Express company OF its line.- will
probably form an express company Of
Its own. The reason assigned for sev-
ering relations with the American
company is that It has too many con-

lines that come into direct competi-
ton with the O., r.. & n.
The contract between the two COM
panies expires next Saturday.

Today's dispatches give a rather more
serious tone to the earlier reports OF King
Edwards Illness, which was at first pro-
claimed to be merely of slight and tenn
porary nature, and cause fear to arise
lest the coronation ceremony may be pre-
vented. The date is now close at hand.
June %, and if the lumbago of the king
should not yield readily to treatment it is
quite within the easy possibilities that the
chief actor at that grand pageant would be
too Ill to attend. This of course would
necessitate a postponement, an event of
such unpleasant suggestiveness that doubt
less every effort will be made to avoid it,
even If the king were to be carried through
the process in a state of standardization.
1t has been repeatedly but vaguely re-
ported that King Edward has confessed
superstition that he would not ike to be
crowned. No authority for the statement
has been given. but it recurs now with I'm
pleasant force in come ction with the cable
grams from London. When the Boer war
ended 1t was theught that the kings health
which has been somewhat under question
since his accession. would improve. 1t was
known that he had worried greatly during
the past six months, being anxious that the

struggle should cease before his coronation.
But he has apparently not regained suffi-
cient ground to enable him to take risks.
The exposure to the night air at the Alder
shot reviews Saturday proved too much for
him.
Anxiety about the kings health is Of
personal and sentimental nature rather
than political. No great issues hang upon
his physical condition. When his mother
died England was greatly shocked. but at
no point was British political or business
welfare threatened. The fact that her heir
stood ready to take her place. that behind
him stood her grandson and behind him
still a grandson, insuring three gen.
eratfons of successors. relieved whatever
PRACTICAL tension might otherwise have been
caused by the announcement of her fatal
illness. The same is true today although
the line of succession is shortened by one.
The possibility of England's being ruled by
the present Prince of Wales has been
thoroughly discounted during the eighteen
months of Edwards reign, and even if the
present indisposition of the king were to
take dangerous form there would be no
occasion for the serious alarm which in
earlier days was caused by the extremity
of sovereign

Philippine Conditions

The most eminent Of the anti-imperialists
outside Of Congress petition Congress to
send a special committee of it's own men,
bers to the Philippines TO investigate the
conditions now existing there. They assert
That not only are we in ignorance here OF
what those conditions are, but that at this
distance 1t is Impossible TO discover them
This is TO be doubted. We get our infor-
nation from three sources: The civil power
the military power, and from those natives
who are friendly to our occupation and
hope to See it continue. In addition we

Mr.. Elkins and Annexation.

Mr.. Elkins promises a speech in explana-
ton of his joint resolution for the anneXa-
ton of Cuba. Surely the measure needs to
be explained 1t would be difficult to con-
ceive of a more astonishing performance.
An even stronger characterization would
not be amiss. Cuba is an independent gov
eminent. made so by our act Of less than
month ago. Her president is at his post,
and her congress is in session. Mexico is no
mere an individuality among the nations
than Cuba. In the event of a discussion of
/ closer commercial relations between the
United States and Mexico would Mr.. 'Efkins
think it the proper or respectful thing to
propose the annexation of Mexico2 Would
not the people of Mexico regard such a.
proposition as an insult. and be justified in
SO doing?
Mr. Elkins' resolution will receive no con-
sideration by Congress-is not worthy to re-
ceive any. 1t is calculated, however to
have a bad effect in Cuba and elsewhere.
1t will go to support the contention of the
enemies of the United States that our whole
performance with regard to Cuba has been
dictated by selfishness and hypocrisy; that
have never intended that Cuba really
should be free; that We are ready now to
pounce upon her and gobble her up. and
vantage. There were those to predict that
we would never leave the island; and these
men will read in the Elkins resolution a
confirmation of the spirit and essential point
os their prophecy. For If we have left
simply to rush back upon the first trumpery
provocation then are we humbugs indeed.
Cuba as American territory has long been

ways presented an amusing spectacle in re-
Prospect. 1t was noisy body, of excited
and excitable men, more than half of whom
were angry. and none of whom saw very
clearly what the occasion demanded. The
disgust with Mr.. Cleveland was deep-seated
and widely distributed, and the disposition
to go counter to everything for which he
had stood and was then standing in office
was uncomfortable. But 1t so happened that
Mr.. Cleveland, with all of the qualities
which had made him objectionable to
the rank and file of the party, stood for the
best things on the money question and on
the question of the enforcement Of law and
order, and reputation of him by his party
meant danger to the country. So the con-
vention lost its head and the party the race.
Success with a rafting stump speaker as a
candidate on platform of revolution was
impossible
But suppose the democracy has not been
instructed by that experience. Suppose the
democratic national convention of 1904 is
composed of men akin in temperament and
perpiexity to the men who assembled at Chi
cago in 1896. What is the remedy? How
is the ambitious spouter whom the Enquirer
pictures as already polishing up his rhetoric
and lfmbering UP his gestures with the pur-
pose of repeating the Bryan performance
before that body to be headed off? 1t cam
not be done unless all speechmaking before
the convention Is interdicted: and what
would national convention of either party
be with all the orators securely gagged and
men of reflection in charge of the proceed
iEgs? In experimenting America let elo-
quence have perfect freedom, even at the
expense occasionally of losing campaign.

The Monroe Doctrine.

The London Spectator urges our State
Department to "enunciate the Monroe doc
trine clearly" and declares that Great
Britain would record her acquiescence. 1t
then says:
Such course would certainly be for the
peace of the world. as we'll the security of
Canada and our other American possessions.
The kaiser thinks now that he only has to
build enough ships to make the United
States the ACCESSIBILITY of dropping the
doctrine, so far as South America is con-
cerned That incentive to profiigate waste
of the national resources might be with
drawn if the action we suggest be taken
The Americans, having got our adhesion to
the doctrine. might submit it to Germany
and the other great powers. If their an
sWers were favorable. a great source for
future quarrels would be automatically
eliminated. The two Americas would. by
the agreement, be ruled out of the field of
political ambitions. If Germany and the
other powers would not join asserting
the Americans would at any rate know
where they stood"
If the State Department had any such au-
thority its exercise at this time would be
unnecessary. Nobody is in doubt as to the
general scope and meaning of the Monroe
doctrine who really approves of it. 1t is the
man who thinks it a dangerous and mis-
chleVouS doctrine who affects an inability
10 grasp 1t. He is not always a foreigner.
His like may be found in the United States
exercising the rights of citizenship. In no
quarter was Mr.. Clevelands Interpretation
of the doctrine in the Venezuelan case more
warmly assaied than in this country, while
the anti-imperialsts are now quoting the
doctrine in the interests of their policy of
clearing out of the Philippines. Neverthe-
less, the Monroe doctrine is well enough I'M
derstood for all practical purposes. 1t needs
no fresh enunciation, and the United States
is not advised of any intention on anybody's
part to challenge it.
