The Latest Difference With Turkey.

When the first reports OF the Alexan-
dretta affair were received there was
marked disposition throughout the country
to await particulars before discussing the
case of Consul Davis. There was some
feeling that perhaps he had been precipitate
in his departure from his post. and that
there might be foundation for the state
ment of the Turkish authorities that the
consul had been in the wrong in his siren
uous, defense of the naturalized citizen of
the United States.
Minister Leishman's report. now in hand
at the State Department. sets all these
doubts at rest. II appears from this tes-
timony that the consul was acting strictly
within his rights, that the Turkish author
tiles used unwarranted force in OBTAINING
the man. and that the United States had
undeniably been wronged by this invasion
of the rights of a naturalized citizen and
this denial Of consular authority. Conse-
quently the government is properly adopt
ing policy calculated to bring the Turkish
authorities to terms. 1t il significant that
the Turkish minister, calling yesterday at
the State Department with refutations Of
Minister Leishman's report. was politely in
formed that the United States was sufff-
GENTLY informed of the circumstances to
warrant the demand for an apology and the
release of the detained naturali2ed citizen.
1t Is necessary for the government thus
to act in the premises I'm order to ensure
respect in Turkey for the naturalization
certificates issued by the United States. AS
the laws and practices now stand any other
course would break down the whole system
OF citizenship by adoption and would give
the lie to the claims Of the United States

Mr.. German in Familiar Form.

Mr.. German, with a perfectly straight
face. stood up in the Senate yesterday and
asked consideration for the Panama treaty
on non-parttsan lines. and seemed to be
little worried by conviction that the
prospect for such a thing was poor. The
attitude of Mr. Aldrich in particular was
disauieting to him. There was bit of
amiable fencing between the two senator's.
Mr.. German trying to draw Mr.. Aldrich
out and Mr. Aldrich trying to draw Mr..
German out. Both are expert at that sort
of thing and neither gave the other any
satisfaction.
Maybe Mr.. Aldrlch, in the stand he took,
remembered Mr.. Germans ''non-partisan"
attitude on the race question in the recent
Maryland campaign. When the Maryland
senator returned from Europe late last
summer he was panied to hear that there
were people disposed to lug the race ques-
ton into politics. 1t was question of so
much delcacy and Importance, he said.
that such a step would be little short of a
crime. Within month Mr. German had
made the Booker Washington luncheon at
the White House the leading, almost the
sole issue of the democratic campaign in
Maryland: and he handled it In a way
scarcely less vituperative and offensive
than that adopted by the notorious Major
Vardeman of Mississippi. He rang all the
absurd changes on the bugaboo of social
equality with the greatest zest-
Could anything be palmer than that Mr..
German Is squaring himself for a perform
ance of this kind the canal question?
Sounding at the outset this high key Of pa
triotism and non-pa craftsmanship, how long will
it he until he changes his note to PARTISAN
ship pure and simple, and urges the defeat
of the treaty as move in the game for party
success next year? He is maneuvering to
be his party's presidential candidate, and it
Is but natural for him to be trying to shape
its presidential course.
Is the course he has marked out a safe
one? Is there President in the rejection
of the canal treaty. the abandonment of the
government of Panama to Colombian re-
yenge, and confession Of perfidy on the
part of this government? That Mr. Cor
man will from this day be the most popular
of American politicians with the people of
Bogota is certain. That he may be accepted
as the Colombian candidate for President
of the United States, as Mr.. Bryan three
years ago was the Filipino candidate for
the same office, is certain. But will the
next democratic national convention ratify
Bogota's choice? Will the cry of German
forever!' ring through the streets of the
convention city next summer as 1t will
through the narrow streets of Bogota as
soon as the Maryland senator's speech
reaches the capital of Colombia and is
turned into readable Spanish? 1t does not
seem likely.

The Government and Citv Iands

A real estate transaction in this city, Just
reported. calls attention pointedly to the
fact that while Congress Is delaying action
on the comprehensive scheme of the Sem
atee park commission the business men of
the capital can not be expected to stand idly
by and refrain from utilizing the now pri-
vately owned spaces comprised within that
great project. As the report runs large
area has been purchased Immediately adj
joining the Capitol grounds on the west, the
intention Of the purchaser being to erect
thereon large apartment house. Regarded
from the point Of view Of private enterprise
and city development this is praiseworthy
move. 1t win not only add directly to the
artistic appearance of the city. but 1t will
remove one of the foul places whose exist
ence has long been deplored by public spir-
tied residents. But It happens that ono q

At Last.
From the New York Tribune.

Justice Is at last done to Cuba and to the
United States. That Is the purport OF We'd
nesday's vote in the Senate. by which the
enabling act for the fulfillment OF the reel
procity treaty was finally passed. Upon
this achievement, though not upon the time
or manner of 1t. the country and Its gov
eminent are to be congratulated. 1t should
have been done two years ago. instead of
delaying 1t until now. It should have been
done by the unanimous vote OF Congress,
instead of in the face Of q hostile and clam
orous opposition. Nevertheless. 1t has been
done. After two years the unmistakable
dictates of national interest and national
honor have been obeyed. For this, much
thanks. Our qualification would be greater
had Congress done this thing more freely
and gracefully.

Democratic Senators and the Panama
Treaty.
rom the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The desire Of certain democratic senators
to make a party battle cry for the coming
national campaign out of the proposed
treaty with Panama illustrates the fatuous
nature of the leadership that has foisted
itself upon the democratic minority in Con-
greSS.
Here we have tho leaders of the demo-
cratic minority in the Senate making des-
perate effort to rally reluctant and un-
which embodies the clearly conceived and
widely recognized obligations Of the nation
growing out of the revolution In Panama.
Instead of availing themselves of the
many opportunities presented to take adj
vantage of republican blunders upon ques-
tons that vitality affect the welfare of the
people the democratic leaders seem deter
mined to make a party issue of opposition
to measures that stand for governmental
obligation and national aspiration.
