LOOKING AHEAD.

1t is to be hoped that our German guests
will be somewhat more charitable and generous
in their comments on the present appearance of
New-York than President Eliot was at the an
nual dinner here Of the Harvard alumni the
other evening. The chief executive of the Iarg-
est New-England university was chiefly i'm
pressed with the ugliness and squalor of Ameri-
cas- foremost municipality and found little TO
praise here except Central Park and the waters
which surround the island of Manhattan.
But is even Boston altogether lovely a flaw
less chrysolite among communities? This is n
torn-up borough, and we must admit that we
are not in our best estate for making a fine
showing to our visitors But when the subways
are covered, when the gaping rents all over our
territory are closed and the ambitious buildings
now under way are completed will not Gotham
succeed in gaining at least an induIgent word
from the head of Harvard? New-York has
many heavy tasks on hand and ia badly
SCARED. But the descendants of the Knicker-
bOckers look for better things in due time and
do not despair We must he patient. and our
friends whom we welcome here should not be
hasty in their censures. The century is still
young. and with long and patient endeavor
New-York may in the course of this or a later
generation, by humbly treading in the footsteps
of Boston, reach something OF its charm. and
perhaps even of its content

ACTION ON SENATE FIGHT

AND M'LAURIN ARE RESTORED

Washington. Feb. 25-The topic Of chief interes.
in Senate circles to-day. and. in fact. everywhere
in official Washington, the fight in the Sonata
yesterday between Senators Tillrnan and McIaurfn
OF South Carolina. There has been a number OF
conferences among Senators 10 what should Be
done to preserve the dignity Of the Senate and IN
manifest its sentiment with reference 70 the two
Senators who violated it's traditions. While m
plan OF procedure has been agreed upon. 1t ia
learned that there will be deliberate action and il
is said to be more than likely that 1t will be not
less than thirty days before the South Carolina
Senators will be restored to their full powers as

Senator Burrows Is chairman OF the Committee on

could not say what would be done. but he added
that the case Of such serious importance that
IL must receive careful consideration II will be
day or two before the committee will meet to taks
up the resolution referred to IL by the Senate.
It is understood that conferences among Senator's
have shown the existence OF considerable senti-
ment that the apologies made BY the south Caro-
lima Senators are deemed sufficient, and that the
COMMITTEES will require other and more annpls
apologies TO be submitted 70 IL in writing. with the
assurance that such apologies will be made TO the
Senate before a report will be submitted TO the

has adjudsed them guilty. The Senate Is now to

TIE RELEASE OF MISS STONE

The rescue Of the American missionary. Miss
Stone from the Bulgarian brigands who have
Tor some months held her captive has at last
NJ Oeen effected, after weaTiSOme delay and at
y ieast some disquieting blunderings or marplotrv
though these latter were not done by the Ameri-
Fan negotiators. 1t will be regarded with relief
and thankfUlness by the whole civilized world
which has been watching with intense interest
the efforts made by Americans TO that end.
The case might almost be compared with that
Of the beleaguered legations at Picking a wear
snd half ago. the difference between them
being one of degree rather than of kind The
conduct OF the Bulgarian brigands has been less
brutal and hideous than that of the Chinese
Boxers, but no less lawleSs and really more
ungrateful. Only two lives have been in peril,
instead Of scores but their peril has been no
less real. And. taking all circumstances into
account, must consider this brigandage in
the Balkans TO be at least as great a blot upon
the name and fame of the State concerned as
was the Boxer outbreak upon that Of China.
Unstinted credit is due 10 Mr.. Dickinson to Mr..
Eddy, TO Mr.. Leishman and to others for their
conduct of the case There has at times been
some tendency on the part of the unthinkng 10
criticise them and TO say they were imperilling
Miss Stone. The success of their efforts is
their vindication. They have prevailed upon
the brigands 10 release her unscathed for a
ransom less than half what was originally de-
manded. If It be said that no ransom should
have been paid at all. and that il is not right TO
guarantee the brigands against prosecution the
answer is that in no other way were Miss
Stones safety and release certainly to he as
sured, and her safety and release were the first
things TO be aimed at. These men were in a
trying position, bearing a tremendous responsi-
bility, and are not justly to be judged by those
who are thousands of miles away from the
scene of their arduous labors Had Miss Stones 8
life been forfeited. they would, Justly or nm
Justly, have been blamed for IT, Now that she
has been rescued, the credit and the praise are
due TO them.
1T does not appear. however, that the case i.
yet fully closed. The ransom is paid and the
captive is released. Whether or not the brig
ands are 10 go unwhipped of Justice is
FOR the responsible governments TO deter
mine. Certainly somebody is responsible for
those brigands The organization TO which
they belong and which has previously had
q criminal and murderous career. and tho
government which tolerates and encourages
that organization. and shields IL from the
due consequences OF it's acts, cannot escape
accountability. Brigandage In Europe iu the
twentieth century is hideous anachronism. and
the State which tolerates il stands arraigned at
the moral bar of the world. 1t cannot persist in
such liberation and forever escape arraignment

NO LOSS TO HOME IyDUSTBTEs

The proverbial boy who cries before he IS
hurt is outdone by the beet sugar men, who
cry before there is even a threat OF hurting
them. There is no menace TO their Industry in
the proposals OF Cuban reciprocity. Amid all
their talk against such reciprocity, they have
failed to present a single bit of convincing evil
dence that reduction OF 90 per cent in the
tariff on Cuban sugar would. either this wear
or next, have the slightest effect upon the mar
ket price of sugar IN this country. On the con-
trary, the evidence in the case is to the effect
that the price OF sugar here would remain un-
changed, and that United States beet sugar
makers would. therefore not be injured in the
least degree.
The estimated consumption OF sugar in this
country this year will be $500, 600 tons OF this
Louisiana, Porto Rico and Hawaii Will supply.
at the outside, not more than 100000 tons Our
domestic beet sugar producers may supply as
much as 10000 tons. The largest supply that
can be expected from Cuba under reciprocity
is 100000 tons. These three supplies united
Will thus fall short of meeting the demand by
no less than 100000 TONS which we shall have
to import as usual. from Germany, and the
price OF which WILL as usual fix the price of all
in our market Next year the consumption
will be about 2,650.OOO tons. Let us suppose
that louisiana Porto Rico and Hawaii in
crease their supply to $4,000 tons, the beet
sugar works theirs to 250000 tons. aud Cuba
hers to 100000 tons There Will still be
deficit of $4,000 tons. TO be filed from Ger
many. and the price will still be fixed at Ham
burg.
In brief there is not the slightest possibilitv
OF all our own sources of supply, plus Cuba
being adequate to the demand in the next two
years. According to Mr.. Oxnard, the beet sugar
magnate, there is no possibility of it in our
generation. And so long as such is the case re-
duction or abolition of the tariff on Cuban sugar
cannot cause the general protective system to
cease to protect our domestic sugar industries.
