Edward I. or Edward VII.

II there is any cloud on the British
political horizon, Henry Labouchere.
editor of London Truth, may be de-
pended upon to find it. Among his
latest discoveries in this line is in
Scotland, where it must be admitted
something Of cloud has been visible.
The Scottish people are not pleased
with the determination shown by King
Edward to be recognized in Scotland
as well as in England as the seventh
of his name. The-act Of union which
brought England and Scotland togeth-
er is less than 200 years old. Previous
to that time the two countries, though
under one monarch, were still two
Kingdoms. Besides, even if one as
sumes that the two are to be consid-
cred as one from the time of the pas
sage of the act Of union it is still true
that the present king is the first Ed
ward ever regarded by Scotland as it's
lawful sovereign.
To say that Edward VII. of England
is Edward VII. of Scotland is to imply
that Edward I. of England was like
wise Edward l. of Scotland. Few
Scots, however loyal they may be to
the present ruling house of Great Brit
ain, are willing to make any such adj
mission
Besides, the name Edward is itself
somewhat distasteful The first three
Edwards all attempted to break down
the independence Of their northern
neighbors. It was against Edward II.
that the battle of Bannockburn was
fought. The most cherished traditions
of the Scottish race insist that till
Queen Anne's time Scotland was a sep
arate and sovereign state, owing no
allegiance south Of the Tweed The
Edward of today is the first Of the,
name recognized in Scotland since
1908. He is therefore Edward 1. of
Scotland, though Edward VII. of Eng
land. This principle has been acknovl-
edged before. The author of the cele-
brated royal treatise against tobacco
was in England James l., but in Scot
land James VI. The Scotch see no rea-
son why there should be a change in
principle now.
Unquestionably the coronation of
King Edward VII. will take place &C.
cording to the programme, though the
recognition as their liege lord of a
monarch bearing the designation of
former enemy must be rather CALLING
to the descendants of Bruce and Wal
lace and the men who fought at Ban
nockburn..

The birth of q new nation is in these
days an uncommon event. Within
scarcely more than a generation the
world has witnessed the passing of
several separate and independent
states. among them those of NADIA
gascar, Finland. Samoa and Hawaii,
and there is now in progress the work
of extinguishing the national life Of the
tralization are the order of the day
in statecraft as we'll as in commerce
and industry. The spectacle of the es-
tablishment Of sovereign state on the
island of Cuba which we have so lately
witnessed is therefore a novel one.

Upton, Astor and the Peerage.

An interesting comparison may be
drawn between Thomas & Upton and
William Waldorf Astor. The former
has had a British peerage offered to
him and doesn't want it, while the lat
ter badly wants a peerage and can't
get it.
In declining to accept the proffered
decoration Sir Thomas intimates that
to be plain, everyday knight is good
enough for him and says, 81 have no
desire to get so far away from my
friends" He is conscious that he is
appreciated now for what he is and
that he has already the respect and
friendship of the peers by rank who
are capable of approaching his nobil-
ity of nature. They would think no
better Of him if he were documented
into their exclusive circle.
William Waldorf Astor, despised
alike by great and small Of his former
as we'll as of his adopted country, is a
person of entirely different mold. Dis
carding his native land, which still
provides his income, he has spent con-
siderable sums of his vast fortune to
get into the good graces of the British
aristocracy, but without success. He
would be mighty proud of royal de-
cree that should allow him to sport an
escutcheon, but King Edward doesn't
care to adopt the renegade American
as his cousin, and in this the king
shows good sense.

It is interesting to note the ardo1
with which the American citizens of
Irish birth and descent entered into
the Rochambeau celebration. The Irish
American Historical society was large
~ represented in the dedicatory cere-
monies in Washington, and various
Irish organizations, notably the Friend
~ Sons Of st. Patrick, have entertain
ed and will continue to entertain the
French delegation during its stay in
this country. This may be reason.
ably accounted for-many officers and
men of Irish descent served under
Count Rochambeau at Yorktown, but
perhaps the real essence of the Irish
American enthusiasm on this occasion
lies in Frances traditional hostility to
England.

The Case Against the Beef Combine.

The Case Against the Beef Combine.
The vigor with which the federal
department Of Justice is proceeding
against the SO called beef packers
combine is commendable and is likely
to have tangible results. United States
District Attorney Bethea, who is push
ing the case at Chicago, has unearthed
considerable amount of extremely
compromising correspondence showing
that, even if an actual trust does not
exist among the great houses in the
meat business, there is something very
IKE criminal conspiracy to produce
conditions in disobedience of the spe-
cific provisions of the Sherman anti
trust law.
With the granting by United States
Circuit Court Judge Grosscup at Chi
cago Of temporary injunction against
the defendants named in the govern
ment's petition, the issue is now fair
~ joined and the fight begun in real
earnest against the packers. Judge
Grosscup's restraining order is so wide
In it's scope that if the packers or their
agents continue with their present al
legged uniform arrangements they will
be taken into court on contempt pro-
ceedings, and the burden of proof will
be on them to show that they have not
violated the order in any particular.
Presumably the next step in the pro-
ceedings will be an effort upon the
part of the packers to have the tenn
porary injunction set aside. Unless
they decide to make a fight at an early
date to have the order vacated, they
will have until Aug. 4 to make reply
to the governments complaint What
ever form the litigation may take, it
is likely to be one of the most vigor-
ously fought legal battles of recent
years.
1t may be difficult and perhaps i'm
possible to show the existence of any
thing to which the legal definition Of
the term trust may be made to apply
to the packers, but it may not be at all
difficult to establish the fact of a con-
spiracy to advance the price of food
products and to restrain trade, which
under the provisions of the Sherman
act would be punishable by either fine
Or imprisonment or both. The conf
dence with which District Attorney
Bethea has thus far moved in the pro-
ceedings warrants the belief that in
addition to the evidence he has shown
he has a good deal cup his sleeve
which the counsel for the defense will
find decidedly perplexing.

POstponement of St. Louis Fair.


The postponement of the st. Louis
worlds fair to 1904 brings it in the
same year as presidential election.
It is believed, however, that this will
not operate against the success of the
exposition.
The st. Louis Globe-Democrat thinks
that the fair will be helped by it's be-
ing held in a presidential year, as both
the political parties are likely to hold
their conventions in st. Louis for the
purpose of the members attending the
exposition.
Presidential campaigns are of less
length in their active features in each

Interfere less with the prosecution of
other enterprises. In 1910 the cam
paign was actually begun the year be-

BILE. It is not anticipated that there
will be more than three months of &C.
tual campaigning in 1904, and the con-
fnement of the time to two months is
quite probable.

Volcanoes and the Isthmian Canal.

Il is not surprising that the late de-
structive volcanic commissions on Mar
Unique and st. Vincent should have
brought out vigorous warnings from
certain quarters against an isthmian
canal over the proposed Nicaragua
route, which we are told is in the very
center Of the, volcanic and seismic
belt. When these warnings come from
some promoters of a syndicate that
has acquired an interest in the Pana-
ma canal who are anxious to dispose
Of the same to the United States for a
consideration, they excite no wonder,
though they may indicate a motive of
sordid calculation. When, however,
persons VIGOROUSLY hostile to any ca
nal whatever draw up the awful cata-
logue Of the "eruptions, Quakings, cat
aclysms and catastrophes that have
Rica since the dawn of history, in con-
rast with the lovely peace and tran
guilty Of the Panama region" the IA
miliar policy Of employing the remote
project to kill off the one that is near
and imminent is distinctly revealed.
The isthmian canal commission,
whose members have doubtless given
as careful and competent study to the
question as the eminent gentlemen
who, owning and controlling transcon-
tinental railroads, are sounding so loud
an alarm against 'the folly Of building
a canal under the belching craters that
stud the Nicaragua route" reported
that from the period of the Spanish
conquest down to the present time
there have been fourteen seismic and
volcanic commissions in the vicinity of
the Nicaragua and twenty-eight in the
Panama region. Touching the earth
quake risk of the Nicaragua route, the
commission said in it's report:
1t is possible and even probable that the
more accurately fitting portions of the ca
nal such as the lock gates, may at times
be distorted by earthquakes, and some in
convenience may result therefrom. That
contingency may be classed with the &C.
cidental collisions of ships with the gates
and is to be provided for in the same
way-by duplicate gates. It is possible
also that a assure might open which
would drain the canal and if it remained
open might destroy it. This possibility
should not be erected by the fancy into
threatening danger. If a timorous imag-
1nation is to be the guide, no great work
can be undertaken anywhere. This risk
may be c1assed with that of a great con-
migration in city, like that of Chicago
in 1871 or Boston in 1872
1t is the opinion of the commission that
such danger as exists from earthquakes
is essentially the same for both the Mica
ragua and Panama routes and that in
neither case is it sufficient to prevent the
construction of the canal
Of course the human mind cannot
forecast the commissions Of nature
which may occur in the future either
in Nicaragua or Panama or elsewhere
on the earth, though it would seem
that the recent eruptions in the Lesser
Antilles were being rather overworked
by the opponents of the isthmian canal
project.
