Last nights torrential rainstorm, which
flooded all this part of Oakland county and

sible for the wreck. The food of water

stalled here. The track of the Detroit
United Interurban line to Detroit and Flint

Customs Inspection of Baggage.

The question of the customs inspection
of baggage is again under discussion
through the petition on this subject of
prominent American women This time, let
it be hoped, relief may be obtained from
hardshipS and Inconvenience so generally
complained of. It is we'll established now
that the execution OF the law Is attended
with many outragcs on private rights, and
that one American port at least-the prin-
cipal one-New Ycrk-has become the hor
ror of all decent. self-respecting travellers.
People are bullied. jostIed. delayed in their
movements, and in so many ways NAL
treated there. that, unless relief is secured
the days of the trunkleSs traveller coming
this way over the Atlantic are close at
hand.
The principle of the law Is of course open
to no objection. The statute in its general
form is hundred years old Smuggling is
as old as thievfng or lying. The govern
ment has perfect right to protect itself
against all manner Of violations of it's Gus
toms laws. But no government should per-
nit the execution of any law to become
public affront and work injury and outrage
on innocent people. One would hardly be
justified in saying that in this matter it
were better that ntnety-nine smugglers
should slip through the official Gordon than
that guiltlesS person should be bad
gered and held up But serious attention
should be paid to the fact that for one
smuggler taken ninety-rine guiltless per-
sons, as matters now stand. are kept on
the rack for hours awaiting a slow and
stupid process of character cleaning. Every
body is esteemed guilty until, by some
roundabout process OF investigation, the
customs officials, armed with suspicion, pass
upon the list of arrivals.
The remedy may not l,e simple, but one
should be found. \ partial one at least
might be obtained by raising the hundred
dollar allowance to more generous figure,
and by permitting travellers affidavit
when taken to count for something 1t
seems sort of nlockery to force a man up
to the affidavit's mouth. and then turn from
him. paper in hand. with the air Of saying
Now, old fellow. I'll go through your lug
gage and see how reckless you are in your
statements" Why swear the passenger if
lis luggage must in the end determine the
fact? And If inspection of luggage is in
order, why should not the order be thor
oughly enforced? Such, il IS stated, is not

the same observation, and all must agree
that the United States is pledged to give to
Cuba a strong and stable government.
Senator Platt of Connecticut, who GER
tafnly cannot be classed as a free trader,
and who, in part, represents a state that
knows a good deal about protection, has
said recently that he thinks 1.-The cause of
protection is being wounded now in the
house of its professed friends and that the
free trader cannot injure the cause of pro-
lection as much as protectionists who in
sist upon unreasonable and unnecessary
customs dues
Senator Proctor of Vermont expresses
himself in the same vein. The New York
chamber of commerce, at it's annual meet
Ing recently, adopted a memorial to Con-
gress, which recites: THAT substantial
reduction of the tariff duties upon Cuban
sugar and tobacco, to be followed by re-
ciprocal tariff arrangements with the island
upon the establishment Of an independent
Cuban government, will. in the opinion OF
your memoralists. not only have most bene-
fetal results in improving conditions in
Cuba, but will also advance the commercial
interests Of the United States"
The republican press of the United States
is very generally of a like opinion.

The following Interesting paragraph ap-
pears in this weeks issue of the Com
mCner:
An agent reports that one democrat re-
fused to subscribe for the Commoner be-
cause he had read in some paper that Mr..
Bryan mad gone over to the gold bugs and
was booming Hill for President If the
aforesaid democrat read the Commoner he
could not be deceived by such absurd ru-
mors. Those who take this papsr know
that the editor neither has doomed is
booming. nor will boom any one for the
democratic nomination who was against the
party in 1896 or Ven doubtful"
And the Bryanite test of democracy
APPLIES to the campaign of 1896 and not
TO that of 1900. This is important, because
there are men-some of considerable promi-
nence-who have been nursing the notion
that by their support of Mr.. Bryan in 1900
they washed away the sin of opposing him
in his first race. Their awakening to the
real situation will be little bitter They
may hold a conference, and decide that they
are being unduly Notwithstanding for
hidden by the law of the land.
But while Mr.. Hill alone is named by
Mr.. Bryan, he is not the only man to whom
the Bryan decree applies. There are others
Mr.. Hill very well heads. the list. He sulked
all through the campaign of 1886, and, while
he supported Mr.. Bryan IN $780, his stump
ing was done In Virginia. where the repub-
Leans had about as much Of chance to
win as the democrats had in Maine He

EurODe Durin" the SDanish War

The attitude of the English government
toward Germany and that of the German
government toward England are correct.
And yet at the present time the English
people hate the Germans and the German
people hate the English most cordially. The
coarse cartoons with which the German
pictorial press is excoriating the English
king are resented in London with intense
feeling while the Prince of Wales arriving
in Berlin to help celebrate the kaiser's
birthday is received without a cheer or a
handicap on the streets. If some sudden
turn of the wheel should bring the two
powers into collision the masses of the
people would enter into the conflict with
passionate Zest.
We may read in this situation something
for cur instruction in the matter of the
much discussed attitude of the leading for
eign powers tOwaru us Immediately pre-
oeding and during the war with Spain. 1t
is insisted that this attitude was in every
ease correct. England. Russia, Germany,
France, all resent the charge-not brought
by us-of unfriendliness. Let that be grant
ed, and we have still to reckon with the
fact of public sentiment in those countries
openly manifested toward America and
Americans at that time. In every country
but England this sentiment was distinctly
hostile. Travellers reported it in their pri-
waite letters home, and newspaper CORE
Spondents noted it in their dispatches
Americans in Paris were treated with pro-
ncunCed rudeness in the cafes and on the
Tromenades.
But the atmosphere in England was diff
ferent. Americans remarked il Immediately
upon landing. 1t not the English
speech alone which brought suggestion
of home and comfort. There was a plain
manifestation of sympathy with the United
States in what was so clearly approaching
And when the war began, and the Ameri-
cans showed themselves, as the English ex-
pressed it, very much alive both on sea
and land, the applause among the English
people was open and unrestrained Both

the close of hostiIities.
