our national career seem to our mind
TO be characterized by an exceedingly
delicate regard for the niceties of COM
munication. If there was a hand Of
steel 1t was certainly encased in sew
eral folds of velvet. one cannot help
wondering how these fussy foreign
busybodies would have relshed u blast
of Grover Cleveland rhetoric of the
pattern OF his Venezuelan message.
Clearly it was what some OF them de-
served; and they can thank their lucky
stars that the man then in the white
house was u eonciliatory and kind
hearted man, who was temperament-
ally averse to giving pain.
So far as the future may profit from
the past ii seems to us that the lesson
OF these ante-belum disclosures. inter-
preted in the light of the present ex-
ceptional eagerness of the powers to
profess undying friendship, is that the
United States is big enough to go its
own way without needing assistance
from any foreign quarter This does
not mean that foreign good will should
be unprized; but il does mean that the
next time u bunch of foreign anbassa-
doris tries to indicate to an American
president what he shall and what he
shall not do he should politely call an
usher and show the Intermediates to
the door.

Mr.. Cranes conclusion is that the
college education, however desirable
from the standpoint of man whoNis
going into ii learned profession, or
however useful as u foundation for
special requirements of learned char
acter. is II positive detriment to Il
young man whose aim is to engage in
trade. His idea is that 1t wastes valu-
able time, fills the head full of notions
that have TO be unloaded as soon as
the college Is left behind, and gives a
fatal advantage of the rival who starts
early in the business and learns it's
practical lessons while the college man
is bothering with Greek verbs. We do
not agree with these conclusions, but
they are of sufficient interest to deserve
notice. Mr.. Crane has put his data and
conclusions in neat pamphlet, which
he will no doubt be glad to send to all
who arc interested in the subject.

Y y a CERTAIN sense, OF course, no
good comes through fighting over
u the battles OF the past. But in
the matter of the diplomatic pre-
liminalies to our war with Spain it is
advisable that the public should have
full information. because. unlike the
inhabitants of some countries. the
American people have Il good deal to
do with shaping their own future, and
they have a right to shape it intelli-
gently.
1t has been asserted and, SO far as we
know, never denied that during Grants
administration 81 coalition of foreign
powers prevented the United States
from interfering for the relief of Cuba.
1t is clear that during the spring of
1898 number OF the foreign repre-
sentatiyes at Washington, notably the
British ambassador. felt that they
should interfere in the affairs of this
continent and in a sense lay down the
bounds of our action. 1t is plain in our
reading of their correspondence, so far
as it has seen the light of day, that this
foreign itch to intermeddle with a
peculiarly American concern was acute;
and it is contrary to human nature 10
suppose that it will not reappear.

~ r. T. Crane, being skeptical
Il. u as to the benefits of Il college
or academic education in
preparing a young man for Il CONNER
cial pursuit, recently undertook to col
lact some data bearing ON this subject.
First he invited the presidents of our
leading colleges to present what they
had in the way of evidence. Only a
few replied. None had anything more
than personal opinion to offer. None
had ever attempted TO keep a record
showing what success the graduates
he'd attained in competition with non
graduates, None knew of such Il
record. Each, however, believed that
a collegiate training helped to qualify
a young, man for ii busines career and
all agreed that it broadened his out
look a,rprt life, Increased his capacity
for deriving pleasure out of his sur
roundings and sharpened the natural
capability of his mind.
MIR. Crane next wrote to nearly 1000
college graduates asking how they had
Jared since leaving their alma mater

q LARGE surplus in the treas
~ ury is an embarrassment to
Il N any administration, since its
invariable effect is to beget
q spirit Of recklessness in making ap-
7ropriatiors. The old saying is true
that money which comes easily goes
easily and this is especially true of
public money. the raising of which by
taxation is not consciously u burden on
the people. 1t has been true for some
months that the Federal government
did not need all the income which has
hccn pouring so lavishly into the ma
tion1l treasury. Its accumulation there,
III excess of current needs, not only
invited careless expenditure but with
regard to the sums not appropriated
had the effect Of locking up money
which should be in active circulation.
At the same time, it is open to grave
doubt il the house leaders have not
applied the remedy too vigorously.
They have at one stroke cut Off SII,-
100000 of revenue, enough in itself to
run Z number of the smaller govern
ments of Europe. And while it is true
that Public opinion has been mildly
favorable to a moderate reduction, it
cannot truthfully be argued that there
has been any insistent public sentiment
in favor of II wholesale reduction. AS
the matter now stands, on the basis Of
the houses action, if an emergency
should suddenly precipitate itself there
would not be money enough to meet
it and some of the revenue now pro-
posed to be abandoned would have to
be restored. Nothing of this character
craftsmanship to be prepared for all
contingencies.
The American people, however, have
good reason to congratulate themselves
that the problem before their law
makers is not how to levy new taxes
but how to reduce old ones. There is
no other country in the world today;
there haze been precious few in its
entire history, of which this can be
said AL, Europe is groaning under
heavy tax burdens and growing de-
fic.ts. The United States, with Il cost
ly War rot four years past and with
the COST of an army in the Philippines
still on its hands, is puzzled, not how
to pay its bills, but how to get rid of
the nlo2%J it has left after all current
ILLS are paid and all payments made
on fu!.ded debts that can be made to
advantage at this time. Whether it be
wise to throw away so much revenue
in one lump may fairly be debated but
the fact that il can be done without
er,hal ras 1ment and that it is proposed
ana carried through the revenue-int-
hitting branch of congress without prod
ding t'rom the taXpaying public GER
tanly speaks volumes for Republican
administration.

ADVISES q considerable change
| - ~ has taken place at Washing
ton in the attitude OF lead
| ing Republicans with regard to the
Philippines. Two months ago there
| was uncertainty and apprehension
among them. They felt that the prob
lem of administering the affairs of the
| archipelago was likely to prove more
difficult than any of them had ut first
anticipated. They felt that as its diff
| cultieS came to be understood by the
| people generally and as the expense of
| maintaining for a long time Il large
force of soldiers came to be appreciated
| there was likely to be a strong reaction
of public opinion against holding the
Philippines and Il corresponding dam
ger to Republican supremacy.
1t was ut this time that the Demo-
| cratic leaders in the senate thought it
eXpedient to take up the Philippine
issue and make it the central feature
| of the senate debates. They held II
caucus and decided to make it IL car
Cinal principle of Democratic doctrine
that the archipelago should be aban-
doned by the American government
as soon rs republican form of gov
ernmcnt could be set UP among the
natives and started going. In other
words, another Cuba was proposed,
| With the difference that it would not be
| near at hand, where We could give

Then Judge Taft came home and be-
gan the series of statements which
have been very imperfectly reported in
the newspapers. His manifest candor,
his perfect willingness to respond to
inquiries in any direction, his evident
sincerity and, most of all, the impress
sion of thorough knowledge which he
made upon the senator's who composed
the investigating committee wrought
Il transformation i'll the spinal colmns
of the Republican doubtful ones. They
have since braced up. There is no
more talk of wishing the country out of

more swearing under the breath at the
dumb luck which thrust this burden
upon us. On the contrary, the Repub-
lican leaders have compared notes, gone
over the requirements of the situation
in the light OF Judge Taft's testimony
and made UP their minds that the thing
to do is TO do their best and not to
borrow trouble. Judge Taft says the
worst is over. He says that already
a clear majority of the native inhabit-
ants sincerely wish for permanent
American sovereignty on Il basis of
peace, free schools and efficient pro-
lection. He refutes every one of the
dire prophecies of evil with which the
'antiS' have been alarming the timid,
and makes it plain that While there is
much to be done and not all roses
along the way, it will do absolutely no
good whatever to magnify the difficult
ties and underrate our own powers.
Thus one man has put strength and
backbone into ten thousand, and per-
haps literally saved the Republican
party from what might have been n
grievous and shameful mistake. All

pidity and certainty with which connec-

representative Of the Electrical Review
recently, the longest time required to ring
the called subscribers bell was III sec

such calls fell below five seconds.
Service like this Is, to say the least, I'M
usual. Another advantage that such
telephone system possesses Is that 1t
imposes the responsibility for a wrong
connection upon the calling subscriber
and puts in his hands, as it were, the
mechanism of the exchange to work
quickly or slowly, accurately or mac
curately, as he pleases. In this way a
fruitful cause of complaint is abolished,
while at the same time service is actual
ly bettered. The secrecy of the service
Is. Of course, highly valuable feature, as
Is the impossibility of interruption or
disconnection during conversation.
From the point Of view of the exchange
itself, the difference Is even more
marked, since the automatic system,
while experience with it so far shows
that the maintenance costs are practically
the same as those for manual exchange,
saves the large fixed charge due to the
wages of operators and attendants. In
the Fall River exchange there are en-
ployed, in addition to the usual bookkeep-
er, collector, etc., only one attendant in
the swltchboard-room, two inspectors
and two linemen, and these spend much
of their time installing new telephones.

change is locked up and left to take care
