VELPFTL TO DELAWARE.

The decision of the Senate Committee on the
Judiciary TO recommend that the nomination OF
Mr. Byrne for District Attorney OF Delaware DE
rejected will strengthen the position OF those
who are endeavorng not merely to prevent the
election of Addicks to the United states Seh-
ate, but TO fill the Delaware seats with fepu-
table men. The offer of the Democrats IN the
legislature to combine with the Regular Repup-
licans 10 elect an anti-Addicks Republican ana
a Democrat for the unexpired terms mas not
been withdrawn. and the indications are that
the chance of its acceptance is improving. The
pressure of respectable opinion in favor or It's
acceptance strongly manifested in all parts OF
the country is evidently. producing good ef-
feet In Delaware Thus the influential Even
ing JournaI." of Wilmington advancing beyond
the stage of mere opposition to Addicks, now
declares that the Regular Republican organlZa-
tion great as is the service which II has feh-
dered in keeping Addicks out of the Senate thus
far. will not have lived up TO its full stature
and justified the fullest public expectation
until it has accomplished the positive work OF

him now or hereafter by advocating course
TO which the Judgment and wishes of his party
associates were firmly opposed.
We do not know to what extent members of
the Senate judiciary Committee have been in
fuenced by professional testimony TO Mr..
Byrne's unftness for the office of District At
torney. On that point professional opinion is
said 10 be divided. But there is one undisputed
fact concerning him which is better understood
now than it was not long ago. and which they
may we'll have regarded not only political
but also a moral disqualification. At the No
vember election Mr. Byrne a candidate for
Congress in opposition to Representative Ball,
having resigned his District Attorneyship and
entered the contest by direction Of Addcks for
the express purpose of splitting the Republican
vote and electing Democrat. That perform
ance, which unhappily succeeded, was of the
true Addicks variety, and a thorough compre-
hension Of its character does not commend the
performer to the confidence of loyal and up
right members of either party. We are con-
vinced that If the President had been fully in
formed he would not have desired TO restore
Mr.. Byrne TO the office from which he resigned
for such purpose.
The decision of the Judiciary Committee will
encourage the Regular Republicans of Della
ware to carry their long fight step further
and fill the Senate vacancies with worthy citi-
zens, for they will draw from it the conclusion
that conservative men of distinguished service
and standing in the party share the prevailing
estimate of Addicks his methods and his in
struments

LONG Island TREES.
sCrunaentS

Park Commissioner Young of Brooklyn and
Queens does not yet seem TO have learned to
take seriously his function as an official pro-
tector of trees in the streets and highways of
the city. Last year the legislature gave to the
Park Commissioners exclusive jurisdiction over
all street trees. The chief effect of that law
in Brooklyn seems TO have been to discourage
private enterprise The Tree Planting Associa-
ton, after years of useful labor. disbanded the
other day because tree planting can no longer
be freely INDUCED in. A citizen cannot set out
tree in front of his own house without official
permit and inspection to insure that his taste
TO the kind of tree he wants at his door is
orthodox and that he digs big enough hole for
1T to grow in. He cannot even cut off dead
limbs to promote the trees welfare and insure
himself from danger. Consequently individual
enterprise has been discouraged without CORE
spending public activity in planting new trees
or caring for old ones. With the present funds
at its disposal the organization of extensive
tree planting bureau by the Park Board was
at first impossible, and the present incon-
venience in this matter may be borne with pa
thence. provided the law is really made use of,
as it was intended to be- to prevent vandalism
Almost the first thing which Commissioner
Young did after the passage Of the law to
grant permission, in spite of protests for the
destruction of some fine ancient trees in an old
residence street merely to let the builder of an
apartment hotel carry his coal cellar out under
the street. Now comes a complaint from citi-
zens of the Borough of Queens that some of
their finest highways are being ruined by cleo
trio wire lnemen, who are permitted to cut
and slash trees. Queens has many fine trees.
Flushing is known among arboricultursts all
over the continent for the variety and beauty
of its shade trees The streets in themselves
form an arboretum This is the region which
is receiving irreDarable damage through Of
ficial neglect. Between Flushing and Bay Side,
according to The Brooklyn Eagle:
AT least mile OF perhaps the most charming :
section OF this great road has been all but ruined
from scenic point of view huge NAPLES and
lindens a generation and more old having been
mutilated. The only possible remedy will be re-
planting, the setting out OF trees to take the
place of the old. And for these trees TO grow to
the beauty of the trees sashed and torn will
take quarter of century at least While not
every tree. indeed. has been despoiled over this
section spoken of. from where the turnpike
eros. the Long Island Railroad tracks at
left there has been enough destruction to ruin
the former charm of the highway.
Every one of these trees is under the care of
Commissioner Young. No one of them can be
touched by electric light company or private
citizen without his affirmative permission. Any
body who mutilates a tree in the street with
out bis consent previously obtained commits

PHILIPPINE CONNERCE.

Detailed statistics of Philippine commerce for
the seven months ended with July last contain
some suggestive figures 1t is to be noted. for
example, that in that time the ineXorable law of
q deprecated currency WAS getting in its dis
astrous work Silver was being poured into the
islands and gold drained out. Tie imports of
gold-coin from Spain and the British East
Indies-were only S3,110, while exports of it
coin to Hong Kong-were $137, ,245 net loss to
the islands of $134, 135. On the other hand, inn
were s., ,023 637 while eXports-chiehy to Hong
Kong and the United States-were 81 ,SS2, ,472, a
net gain of S1.141. .165. Substantially the same
movement mas been in progress for several
checked or reversed until the islands are pro-
vded with n stable currency, a gold basis
The figures quoted are another strong argument
i'll favor of prompt action by Congress for the
monetary relief of the islands.
In respect to other commodities than gold and
silver, il appears that imports generally are in
creasing, those from the United States a little
more rapidly than those from Europe and Asia
Exports TO Europe suffered q heavy decline in
the seven months under consideration, COM
pared with the preceding two years, and those
TO Asia suffered a considerable decline, while
those to the United States were enormously in
creased. Thus in 1901 exports to the United
States were only II per cent of those to Europe.

,nisdemeonor We perfectly realize that brook-
>1vn ond Oueens make up large area, and that
no commissioner can protect every tree I'D HI
IFS urban and rural highways. But IL does
soem as If a commissioner with energy anu
interest in the preservation of the natural beau-
ties Of this fast growing section would so make
his authority respected and the law known that

that Mr.. Young actually gave permit Defore-
hand for this vandalism 1t must be that no
body thought or cared anything about nm out
in that Dart of his domain. He had not been
taken seriously. rs we believe the Commits
sioners are in Manhattan and The Bronx, where
valuable work has been done to restrain Duliu-
ors and linemen and tunnel contractors until
now these people think twice before trespassing.
To Judge from past experience, when he hnds
the law ignored and devastation going on With
out his permission, he will proceed to give the
permission and good naturedy make it all right.
That is Just what should not be done. If the
law Is ever to be respected those who find IL
convenient to slash street trees should be taught
a few sharp lessons. Then. instead of preSum-
ing on the absence OF close official inspection in
the outskirts of the city. where their power to do
damage is greatest. they would consider 1t
safest to act only under permits. The way TO
make q law so respected that 1t will not ne
broken every time the official back is turned is
to punish without fail every person found Of

ROOM FOR CONCESSION.

The present status of the Venezuelan dispute
seems 10 offer an admirable opportunity for the
making Of discreet concessions in the interest Of
prompt settlement and the maintenance of IN
ternational good will. Venezuela has agreed TO
nav the claims against her as rapidly as her
revenue will enable her 10 do so. That is we'll
She wishes 10 pay all her creditors at the same
time and on equal terms That seems reasonable
from her point OF view. But the three allied
powers object. and have submitted counter
proposition, to the effect that the allies shall
receive % per cent Of the customs receipts at
La Guayra and Porto Cabello, while the other
creditors of Venezuela receive 10 per cent until
their claims are satisfied. This offer Mr.. Bowen
has promptly rejected, and his previous pro-
posal, therefore, stands. This is that the three
powers shall have preferential treatment for
limited time and thereafter share alike with all
Others II is to be hoped the allies viii regard
this proposal favorably and come to an agree
rnent with Mr.. Bowen as to the length of time
sn which the preferential treatn ent shall pre-
vail.
II IS TO be assumed that the powers desire
shove ali else a settlement Of the dispute and
payment of their claims. They would Sc
cure those ends by acceptance Of Mr.. Bowens
proposal. They would do more than that. They
svould avoid the creation of any further i'll will
against them IN South America and any further
suspicion OF their motives in other countries.
We cannot believe such considerations have no
weight with them. They cannot say they care
nothing for South American good will, seeing
how assiduously and persstently they have tried
for years and are even now trying 10 secure the
trade of those countries and finance their indus
tries. If they had not thus gone into kenez-
lela the present troubles never would have
arisen Certainly harsh dealing with Venezuela
viii not commend those powers TO South Amer
jean patronage in future. Nor can II be ignored
that the other claimant powers are coming
pretty close TO having ground for complaint
france, for example, has claims against Venez-
uea some OF which have actually been adjudi-
Gated and others of which are now in course of
adjudication. II would seem TO be q hardship
for France 10 have those claims set aside or put
into allegiance I'm favor of these later ones. If
Venezuela should give TO the three allied pow
ers preferential treatment for few weeks or
months that would be sufficient guarantee of
good faith and an establishment of the principle
that they are preferred creditors. Then after
that, those powers might well be willing TO fare
equally with their neigbbors
II ig as we AVE said 10 be hoped that such
An arrangement viii be concluded, and that the

why this has been we cannot say. But because
il has been is Il pretty strong reason for taxing
the case to The Hague Such reference of IL
wouId demonstrate that the claimants have
sufficient faith In the validity of their claims to
dare TO submit them to that court for review.
II is TO be observed that dispatches from Eu-
rope continue TO be hopeful in tone. Berlin
does not regard the present hitch as serious
and Paris is hopeful of an amicable settlement
There is ground for such optimism, and reason
10 expect it TO be speedily justified Venezuela
and her creditors are. matter of fact. very
close together and the differences remaining be-
tween them are non-essentials. upon which con-
cession can be made and compromise erected
without loss of either principle or interest Such
compromise will be looked for by the world,

II is TO be regretted that the American share
of the CARRYING trade of the islands remains 50
small That it should be exceeded by the Brit
isb is not at present surprising. but that IL
should also be surpassed by that of Spain. OF
Germany. and of Norway is not credtable The
worst feature of it is that commerce between
the United States and the Philippines. our own
possessions is chiefly conducted in foreign DOT
toms Thus. while this country has more than
% ner cent of the commerce of the philippines,
if has less than per cent of their carrying
trade. There certainly is state of affairs that

remedy it by means of commercial enterprise
With our comparative proximity to the fhlnp-
mines. with our great frontage on the Paclhc
and our commercial interests there; with our
midsea stations in that ocean, and in the near
future. our telegraphic cable spanning it, we
should be able soon to make the American mef-
chant flag the most familiar Of all in Philippine
ports and waters.
