MUsT TRUST BRIGANDs.
Miss Stones Captors Will Take No
Chances.
(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated Press)
constantinople, Jan. 22.-It Is UNDER
stood the American negotiators for the
release Of Miss Ellen M. Stone and her
companion, Nine. Tsilka, to whom the
money subscribed for the ransom of the
captive missionaries was sent, may have
to instrust the fund to the brigands for
some days before the latter release the
captives, in accordance with the
precedent adopted in the cases OF pre-
vious brigandages.
The bandits are said to insist on this
point, in order to enable them to dis
pose Of the cash before retaliative meas
uros can be organized.
There IL some risk IN adopting this
course, but the behavior of Miss
Stones captors thus far encourages con-
fdenco that they will fulfill their en-
gagements.

Drifting Toward Royalty.

The appointment Of special ENJOYS to
represent the United States govern
ment at the coronation of King Edward
indicates weakening of American
sentiment and lowering of American
ideals. Surely, our ambassador at the
Court of st. James can give expression
to all the interest which Americans
feel in the browning of England $
sovereign. Do the emperors of the old
world send distinguished personages
to dance attendance upon the president
when he assumes the duties imposed
upon him by the suffrages of his coun-
trymen? Why, then, should American
representatives hang around throne
and pay homage to one who rules, not
by the voice of the people or because
of personal merit, but because he is
the eldest son of one who i'll turn in.
herited the privilege of exercising
authorityY 1t takes generations to
cultivate the courtier's bow and the
worshi pful mien, and our ENJOYS are
apt to excite the derision that is ex-
pressed toward those who show the
fawnlng spirit, but fawn awkardly.
Kirg Edward ought to make the most
of this evidence of the decadence Of
the American spirit for the demonstra-
ton may not be repeated. He should
announce that the proud heir of George
III. accepts with pleasure the respectful
alteration of the repentant descendants
of George Washington. A dispatch
from the national capital says:
In diplomatic circles considerable
surprise is manifested at the unusual
interest taken by the country in the
coronation. This government it is
pointed out, is setting dangerous
precedent. Similar action must be
taken on like occasions throughout
Europe, else offense will be given.
Another suggestion is to the effect
that inasmuch as Great Britain is at
war with two republics, the sending OF
a special embassy to London at this
time amounts practically to an approval
of Great Britains course in South |
Africa.
1t must be remembered that there !,
are many kings in Europe and we can
not well discriminate. We cannot
afford to show special interest in one
king and indifference toward others,
and we can still less afford to show
more interest in the Inauguration of an
imperial reign than the crowned heads
show in the presidential succession.
But in addition to the general and
objections to the special
