The kaiser Is not likely to mend his gait
because of any criticism Of his policies by
men who have renowned allegiance to him
and sworn loyalty to another flag. He
looks to them for nothing. He has his own
responsibilities, and his own ideas about
meeting them and he knows full we'll that

Human Life in South Carolina.

Human life doesn't seem to be increasing
in value In South Carolina. The morning
dispatches tell of a dispute between two
neighbors about a dog, whereupon one of
them, with the ever-ready pistol at hand.
settles the score with lead. A father and
his son are dead and a wife and mother
escaped only because the murderer had ex-
ploded all of his cartridges. As an evidence
of good faith toward her he snapped the
empty pistol in her face. This fierce citizen
then lit out" leaving behind the stirring
message for the sheriff that he would not
be taken alive. If he should prove to be
mistaken about this and Is taken alive and
made TO suffer the inconvenience of a trial
will forty of the best lawyers in the, state
volunteer to defend him? Has he done
more than copy Lieut.. Gov. Tillman's
method of settling personal difficulty?

America and Germany.

The London Spectator, being advised that
the COMMUNICATIONS have had little to
say on the subject of the Venezuelan diff
Guilty. observes:
at is strange that the Germans in Amer
lea should not have recognized that the
best possible way OF showing love for Ger
many would be to endeavor to convert Ger
many to liberal IDEAS and gradually to
make the basis of the German state one of
freedom instead of autocracy. If there were
a sincere temperate and reasonable exer-
else of German-American opinion it's in
huence. IL gradual would ultimately be
very great.
If the German-American press. speak
ers, writers and clubs throughout America
made a point OF expressing in moderate
language liberal views of lese majestic and
press prosecutions. frankly criticising the
kaisers utterances and pointing out the
great dangers 10 liberty and good govern
ment involved in his jpre divine claims We
have no doubt that the effect produced in
Germany would be substantial"
This is remarkable advice to be addressed
to American citizens. Why should men of
German birth who have come to this coun-
try and cast their lot with the great re-
public undertake even by indirect means to
influence governmental affairs in the old
country? Their concern is here. Like other
American citizens. they find themselves
busy enough at home. II they do their fun
duty by the government of their adoption
and as a rule they are among it's most
faithful supporters-they have little time
and small inclination for regulating the
outside world. The policy suggested by the
Spectator would be likely to do more harm
than good.
Such men, there is every reason to be-
lieve, retain feeling of strong attachment
for Germany and her people. They wish
them well. and are happy to hear Of Ger
man progress and prestige. But they love
America more. They came here u b atteI

and the B. and o. alone Will profit by the
circumstance. The corporation obtains
other advantages from the change. includ-
ing reduction in the cost of maintaining
the terminal by reason Of the joining OF

the location Of the station at Massachusetts

erations, added to the equities violated

Retaliation or Reciprocityp

From the Chicago Post.
There are two kinds Of reciprocity, and
we shall soon have to choose definitely be-
tween them. One kind Is that which Mr.
Mckinley contemplated and expounded in
his great Buffalo speech, the kind that
means freer trade. mutual advantage. in
dustrial expansion and peace. and that is
in measure exemplified by the treaties
now pending in the Senate. The other kind
Is that illustrated by Russia's retaliatory
advance of duties on certain American
products by the proposed maximum duties
of the agrarian German tariff and by any
other arbitrary discrimination against the
trade Of any country.
The era of exclusiveness is past, and the
cultivation of foreign markets has become
a necessity to every important Industrial
nation. But how is such trade to be OBJ
tanned? Shall we have to fight for it, or
are the rulers and legislators of the world
intelligent enough to secure reciprocity
without tariff wars and economic reprisaIs?

Heavy Damages for Railroad Deaths


The New York state court of appeals has
just affirmed a Judgment rendered IN
lower court against the New York Central
railway Company, granting damages Of
s62, l66 to the widow of one of the victims
OF the tunnel disaster of a year ago. This
Is the first of the cases resulting from that
horror which has been passed upon by the
higher court, and 1t Is regarded as indi-
eating that the judgments already rem
dered, which range between 10000 and
100000, will stand. Heretofore the rail-
roads have been assessed practically nomi-
nal damages for death claims at one time
the law, as administered by the courts,
fixing limit of 5000 This policy opens
up new and, to the public reassuring con-
ditions governing the security or danger
of railroad travel At. the rate Of $62, 600
the twenty-three deaths caused by the re-
cent New Jersey wreck would cost the
company 81 .426.000. a very heavy price to
pay for broken boiler injector, which the
dying engineer Of the express train de-
clared to have been the cause of the COLI
sion. That sum capitalized would yield an
income far more than sufficient to employ
thu extra locomotive operatives whose need
is SO strikingiy set forth by this theory of
the disaster. 1t would go a long way
toward the laying of additional tracks 1t
would probably pay for the discovery and
perfection Of some reliable automatic
system of locomotive regulator Perhaps
when the policy which has just been es-
tablished in New York is extended to all
the states the public demand for safer
raiiroading will be needed by the com
panies in se!f-defense.

Venezuela.
From the PHILADELPHIA

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
1t is useless. at this stage, to speculate
upon the outcome Of the negotiations be-
tween the representative Of Venezuela
and the representatives of the allied powers
Apparently they are farther apart than be-
fore, yet there does not appear sufficient
ground for the assumption that they are
determined to disagree. While the govern
ment of the United States is anxious that
a basis of settlement shall be reached and
the blockade of Venezuelan commerce end
ed. 1t is not at present called upon to in
terfere, and the attitude OF dignifed i'm
partiality 1t has thus far maintained d Is that
most likely to prove influential.

Venezuela to Date.

Careful consideration has been given in
the United States to the arguments put for
ward in the Venezuelan matter by the re-
spective parties In interest. The allied
powers which have applied force demand
preferential treatment both by reason OF
the expense to which they have gone and
by what they characterize as right grow
ing out of their initiative. Had they not
moved as they did, they contend. neither
their claims nor those Of other powers
would now be the subject Of negotiations.
Venezuela would have continued indef1-
nitely her policy Of representation. She
has been brought to book by them. they
have incurred whatever criticism has been
passed upon the maneuver, and they insist
on reward for this in the shape Of the
first whack at the customs collections.
The powers which have not applied force
object to this on the score that in effect it
puts premium on the policy of applying
force. They have waited on Venezuela in
the interests of peace. They have not neg
lected to press their claims, but have rec
ognized the domestic difficulties under
which Venezuela has of late been strug-
Cling. But now that the day of settlement
is at hand they ask consideration for their
claims along with that bestowed upon the
claims of the other powers. If they are to
be obliged to wait until the ether powers
have been served may not some fresh COM
plications arise making in the end force on
their part necessary? Why not adjust all
claims upon basis Of equal and exact JUS
tice to all?
President Castro for Venezuela holds with
the powers which have not put the screws
on him. Now that the claims of foreigners
against his government are being urged for
early payment he wants the slate wiped
clean. The sooner that is done, he plainly
sees. the better for his country and the
better for his hold on affairs. He opposes
therefore the demands of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy. and wants the revenues
collected applied without preferential treat
ment among the creditors.
Mr. Bowen. trying to hold the scales level
In the interests Of everybody, opposes the
attitude of the militant allies. And in doing
that he has in mind no less an early settle
ment of difficulties which while they remain
unsettled may flower into fresh difficulties
any day, than the payment of money sums
now due by Venezuela. His views are
heartily applauded by public sentiment in
the United States. and there is the most
earnest hope here to see them prevail
