The RESPONSIBILITY FIXED.

Over week has elapsed since the
state department issued its protest
against the treatment of the Rouma-
MAN Jews. No European government
has made an authoritative response to
that protest, and none is likely to be
made All that has appeared thus far
purporting to define the attitude OF
any European nation on the subject
has been mere speculation. 1t is I'M
likely that any nation, Roumania alone
excepted, will indicate it's conviction
that the United States is interfering
with what does not concern it. 1t is
equally unlikely that any such nation
will offer it's express ratification of
the position taken by this country.
It is of moment chiefly to the I'M
fortunate men who have been the OBJ
jects of Roumanian ~ persecution
whether the parties to the Berlin
treaty, or any of them, will interfere to
put an end to the shameless peryer-
sion of the terms of that treaty which
are involved in the treatment of the
Jews by the Roumanian government.
The United States as a nation has
done it's full duty to humanity through
the issuance Of it's protest. 1t can go
no further in that direction without
giving warrant to the expressed con-
viction Of European publicists and
journalists that this country seeks to
interfere actively in the concerns Of
the Old World.
1t may become necessary, in pursu-
ance of the policy Of national self pro-
lection, that this government shall
take steps to preclude Roumanian Jews
immigrating under the conditions OBJ
jected to from finding asylums on
these shores. It will be a grievous
hardship upon those people if such a
course is pursued. But if it should be-
made necessary by the inaction Of the
signatories to the Berlin treaty, 1t will
necessarily follow that the subject in
all it's phases will then have reverted
for action to those powers, and that
the responsibility will have been Sc
curely placed upon them for tolera-
ton of the brutal conditions which
are shown to attend the lives Of the
Roumanian Jews.

other Of the vast combinations which
are now sheltered by a prohibitive
tariff. Through the Importation OF
hOrdes of ignorant foreigners In the
past, in violation Of every sound ma
tional policy, that particular combine
has been able to enforce it's dictates
upon its employees. Ever since the
early '70s the alternative of starving or
working at whatever wages pleased
the combine has confronted it's work.
men. 1t is no different today than
it ever has been. In the existing CON-
dition of the law, and, under Repub-
lican control in state and nation alike,
no force, social, political or economic,
has been found adequate to deal with
such remorseIess combinations unless
we except the force of organized labor.
The issues in this congressional cam
paign are already clearly made and
defined. President Roosevelt has done
much toward this end. He has stated
the position Of his party and his ad-
ministration. That position is, in brief,
that the tariff shall not be revised, and
that the trusts shall be allowed to con-
tinue in their present policies and IN
possession Of their present privileges
until such time as an amendment OF
the federal constitution can be made
effective.
AS Mr.. Bryan has declared, a great
opportunity confronts the Democratic
party of the nation. Under the inspi-
ration and leadership of men like Gov.
Boies, who has been prompt to show a
true appreciation of the situation, a
Democratic majority in the next house
will be but the precursor of Democratic
control in the executive and legislative
branches of the general government
after March, 1905.

DEADLOCK ON THE
GERMAN TARIFF
Government and Majority of the
Reichstas Not Getting Along
at All.

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-The government
and the reichstag majority have reach
ed deadlock on the tariff. The impe-
rial secretary of state for the interior,
Count Won PosadoWslzy-W ehner, enun-
ciated to the reichstag tariff commit
tee more sharply than ever before the
governments determination not to &C
cept the bill as amended at the first
reading, and the committee immedi-
ately voted the meat and animal duties
to the same rate as at the first reading,
to which Count Won Posadawski- Web
ner had particularly objected.
Herr Herold, the Centrist leader, af-
drmed that without these duties the
Centrists would not support the bill,
when one by one the Agrarians of the
Conservative faction and portions Of
the National Liberals sustained Herr
Herold's position.
Count Won Posadawski- Wehner
made a confidential statement to the
committee respecting the governments
reason for rejecting the section for du-
ties on meats and animals. These were
stated to be in conflict with new COM
mercial treaties.
Upon a deputy inquiring how much
tial the secretary replied that the gov
eminent wanted to know openly that
that all the federated states were OPP
posed to the animal schedule as
amended. He also dwelt upon the i'm
portance Of continuing the commercial
treaty policy.

BOIES IS ALL RIGHT.

EX-Gov. Boies has sounded the DEM
ocratic keynote in this election. The
only remedy for the trusts under ex-
listing circumstances that is worthy
of present discussion is the one Of the
removal Of the tariff walls which pro-
tect them from foreign competition,
and which are the strongest factor in
enabling them to fix prices in the do
nestle market.
AS T h e Clio b has already declar-
ed, 1t is worse than useless to talk
about control of these combines
through a constitutional amendment
or through any other proposal which
the Republican party may advance.
Before any such proposed remedy
could be brought into practical opera
ton they would have entrenched them
selves beyond public or private interfer-
ence in their position of monopolizing
the markets in the necessaries of life.
During the past five years Repub-
lican politicians in control Of state leg
islatures have been busy enacting anti
trust laws and proclaiming such per-
formances as proof of their hostility
toward the trusts. There never has
been a serious attempt made in any
Republican state to enforce such laws.
The only effective work done against
the trusts thus far through the law
making or the prosecuting officials Of
any state has been done in the Demo-
cratic states Of the South. There,
and there only, has antitrust legisla-
ton amounted to anything whatever.
The spirit in which Gov. Boies ap-
proaches the subject is the true one.
1t is indispensable to success, not only
for the party, in the coming elections,
but in carrying on the practical move
ment of bringing the trusts under
control. The anthracite coal combine.
which he instances, is no better
and no worse in its purposes than any

TACKLING WILD CAT
INSURANCE CONCERNS
State Commissioners Seeking to Roll
a Few BouIders in Their
Path.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Sept. 25.-At
the state insurance commissioners
convention the report Of the commit
tee on laws and legislation was pre-
sented by Hon. H. D. Appleton, of New
York. The report as adopted embodied
the resolution recommending legisla-
ton to the effect that all general de-
posits Of insurance corporations held
by fiscal officers of any state should be
for the protection of all policy holders,
excepting those held on account q
foreign corporations of other countries,
when they should be held for the pro-
lection of policy holders in the United
States only.
The report of the committee on un-
authorized insurance companies was
read by j. V. Barry, of Michigan. He
submitted list Of ninety mine names
of wild cat' companies collected by
the committee from the insurance de-
partment records Of the various states.
1t was decided to call the roll of states
in order that the commissioners might
have the opportunity to explain the
presence and operations of the ques-
tionable concerns in their respective
Jurisdictions. The whole mater was
laid over for the day. A letter directed
to the postmaster general was adopted
and ordered forwarded to Washington.
1t requested that the postal depart
ment exclude from the mails the fraud
ulent matter sent by these companies
as advertising or solicitation. John A.
Mccall, president of the New York Life
Insurance company, delivered an ad-
dress.
A resolution was adopted declaring
it to be the sense of the convention that
the laws of the various states be
amended so that all general deposits
of insurance companies held by fiscal
officers of any state should be held for
the protection of all policy holders, ex-
cepting those held on account of the
foreign corporations of other coun-
tries, when they should be held for the
protection of policy holders in the
United Staes alone.

TESTING OUR FRIENDSHIP.

1t has been repeatedly urged against
the mass Of the American people who
gave such free expression of their
sympathy with the Beers in the re-
cent war that that sympathy was more
The product of their dislike for Eng
land than of their love for liberty.
This imputation, T he Globe has al
ways believed, is unfounded. The pol
iticians of England had identified
themselves with warfare upon the
political liberties of the Africander
race, but they had not counted on the
fearful cost at which alone their task
could be accomplished. No nation,
however powerful or however high in
the scale of nationhood, could engage
in such an undertaking without hav-
ing incurred the enmity of all lovers Of
human liberty.
The issuance Of their manifesto by
the Boer leaders, from Amsterdam
within the past day or two, will re-
suit in applying test far more con-
elusive than any opinion can be to
the question whether those who cham
pioned the Boer cause, when they had
a cause, were friends of Boer liberty
rather than enemies of British ascen-
dancy. The appeal of the Boer leaders
for relief is to all intents addressed
to the American people. 1t is an ap-
peal to their generosity. It is a test
applied to them whether their friend
ship was, after all, any more than lip
friendship
Thirty thousand Boer families have
been rendered homeless as the result
of the war of the two Boer nations
for their liberties. Neither in modern
or ancient times has the world wit
messed such heroism as that displayed
by the Boer nations in that war. If a
great cause, fought with sublime val
or, ever appealed successfully for hui
man admiration the Boer cause did
The victims of such a struggle ought
not to find a second word necessary
when addressed to their friends.
Now is the time for every Boer COM
mittee in every city, town and viii
lage in the United States to prove the
worth of its friendship. The case is
one which appeals to our humanity not
to our love Of liberty alone, nor to our
hatred of England, nor to our admira-
