Now for Business.

Congress is here now for business. The
three weeks that precede the holidays are
never fruitful. The taste Of the Thanks
giving turkey is still In the mouth, and the
thought Of the Christmas turkey is already
in the mind. The period is one Of gossip
and preparation. Members confer, and put
their desks in order, and take a look about
They grid up their Ioins for struggle that
is to come.
The struggle of this session is at hand
The Christmas turkey has been digested
the home advisers of the member have had
his ear for a last word as to what they
want done and what in their opinion he
should strive to secure in his own political
interests. and now for 1t. The country is at
attention. In the newspapers congressional
proceedings have the right of way. A stir
ring speech or stirring topic is certain OF
a display head. daring maneuver In an
effort to bring a measure to the front, or
send one to the rear, is explained at length,
and it's author, If successful, occupies for
the moment the center of the stage. 1t is
a good time for action, both in the interests
of the individual and of the country.
What Is the outlook for the next fifty
days? 1t is easy of course to catalogue the
measures awaiting attention. That. indeed,
the important bills, their legislative stand
ing, and the names and authority of the
men who respectively have them in charge.
But what is the real program? Some of
these bills we may be sure, have no chance
of passing. Others, it is safe calculation,
are to be used largely, if not wholly. for
obstructive purposes. They will be put for
ward one day and drawn back the next, as
the real object in view may require.
What, then, are the measures which by
reasonable diligence and a fair measure of
good management on the part of the ma
jority leaders ought to become laws? There
should be one new state, but not three.
There should be definite action on the Gu
ban treaty, and at least clearer under
standing than now exists as to the other
reciprocity treaties. The isthmian canal
matter should be closed up. An antitrust
measure amendatory of the Sherman law
should in good season grow out of the wide
demand for a measure of that kind and the
number Of suggestions that have been
thrown out by men of learning and expe-
rience. But it is for everybody to prepare
his own list according to his views of what
the times require. What of the night?
What are the signs of promise?

Police Reform in New York.

General Greene. the new police head Of
New York city, has taken hold as IL he
meant business. He made a statement
when he entered upon his duties, saying
that he proposed to enforce the law regard
less OF consequences, and reminding all po-
licemen of their duties. The next day he
caused widespread CONSERVATION among the
old-timers by sweeping out of their assign
hents the entire staff Of $50 plain clothes
men assigned as precinct detectives, or
wardmen, and remanding them to street
duty in uniform. Their places will be at
once filled with new men, the old ones
being ineligible for ninety days. Thus at
one stroke every connection used in the
past for corrupt purposes Is destroyed, and
If there are captains or other officials ON
the force who are inclined to squeeze black
mail out of lawbreakers they must find
new agents of collection. General Greene
proposes to enforce the regulation which
prohibits prolonged details of policemen In
plain clothes. Some of. the wardmen sent
back to patrol dhty have been serving as
precinct detectives for twenty years. Many
of them are notorious go-betweens.
The value of the plain-clothes man for
collection purposes is evident The corrupt
official cannot himself go around to the
various places which violate the law being
too well known to Be seen entering side

A successful revolution, causing Castro
to be deposed and new administration to

they would themselves be confronted imme-
diately with the same predicament which
has caused Castro to yield to the demand
for arbitration, and if they persisted In q
refusal to submit the case according to his
program and pledges they would be likely
tent only is there ground for believing that
success by the rebels would not change the
arbitration program.
Herein lies one of the chief embarrass-
ments of the United States in its quasi
guardianship over the western hemisphere.
1t cannot guarantee the stability of admin
fstrations or the payment of their debts.
1t can only trust to the sense of RESPONSE
bility of the successive governors Of the
republics to prevent the repeated VIOLA
ton of International laws and contracts 1t
hopes that eventually the South American
conception of republican principles will de-
velop until it embraces a universal realiza-
ton of the fact that independence as ma
tional unit carries with 1t no freedom from
the laws governing international relation

Of honest business dealing.

The Clever Sultan of Morocco.

The Sultan of Morocco must be accred-
tied with shrewdness which entities him
to safe issue out of his present Affections.
Finding himself cooped up In Fee. virtually
the prisoner of the pretending mahdi, with
imminent danger of capture and deposition
he executed a flank movement worthy of a
place in world history. The pretender to
the throne had been proclaimng himself to
be the sultan's own brother, and later, when
it was proved to the peoples satisfaction
that the brother was a prisoner himself in
safe custody, to be that brothers cham
pion. So the sultan proceeded to forgive
his brother, Mulai Mohammed and to en-
brace him in public, Mulai responding to
these overtures with every sign Of fidelity
and gratitude. Thus it was made plain to
the Moors that the pretender could not be
the representative Of Mulai Mohammed.
and Immediately the insurrection began to
lose strength. When the sultan had re-
stored to Mulai all his former honors and
named him as governor of the province Of
Fee the tribes in that region, which had
been either lukewarm in their allegiance or
openly hostile to the throne, rallied to the
sultan's support. and the pretender, at
latest accounts. has withdrawn from his
investment of the ancient city and moved
out into the desert. 1t would seem as
though the critical point had been passed
for the sultan. save far as his brother
may develop into a popular hero and enter
tain ambitions. Still. ruler with the re-
source thus far displayed by the present
occupant of the throne is not likely to be
caught mapping. He is entitled to the re-
spectful consideration of the heads of other
states. May his progressive measures Of
reform succeed in full measure.

The Venezuelan Revolt

DiSauietfng reports are arriving as to the
domestic conditions in Venezuela which
threaten the overthrow of President Castro
and the upsetting of all the present plans
for the Submission OF the European claims
to The Hague arbitration court. II is not
to be denied that few months ago Ameri
can sympathy was largely withheld from
Castro in his internal disputes His con-
duct of the affairs of Venezuela had af-
fronted this country. He seemed bent upon
fomenting the anti-American sentiment
which rankles to a greater or less extent
without good cause In practically all OF the
republics to the south of US Forgetful or
deliberately defiant of the obligat lions which
Venezuela owes to the United States for
Its Intervention in the boundary DISPUTE

such direct contempt for this governme nj
that the diplomatic relations were at one
time strained TO the breaking point and an
actual breach was prevented only by an ex-
