The PENNSYLVANIA Democracy.

The democrats of Pennsylvania will hold
a convention this week, and make nomi-
nation or two of state consequences. Sue
cess at the polls is not in the calculation,
and but little interest would attach to the
meeting If something had not been said
about expressing a preference ON the sub
ject of presidential candidate. Mr.. Cor
man has friends among the leaders, and
Judge Gray is much admired for his part
in the arbitration of the anthracite coal
strike. Although Pennsylvania is so over
wheimingly republican. it would add to the
dignity of either the German or the Gray
boom to have the keystone democrats line
up in its support.
In state affairs the democracy Of this old
commonwealth has now and then achieved
a victory. but 1t takes no permanent hold
upon the people And yet 1t has not lacked
for issues. or for good men to present them.
The Cameron dynasty was very vulnerable,
and the Quay dynasty has been equally So.

Tie United States and Turkey

Criticism is being directed at the Presi-
dent for his prompt action in ordering the
dispatch of warships to Beirut to safe
guard American interests there now that
Minister Leishman has corrected the ear
lier dispatch with regard to the reported
killing of Vice Consul Magelssen. 1t is
urged that there was no occasion for the
original order to the ships even If the
minister's first dispatch had been correct
But 1t is noticeable that when the order
was issued the whole country believing
that one of our foreign representatives
had been slain. the President was univer-
sally commended for his action.
1t is easy to criticise in the light of de-
velopments. 1t is easy now to say that
the President would not have weakened the
prestige of the United States by waiting
for fuller details. 1t is easy also to de-
clare that even II Magelssen had been
killed the presence of a fleet was not nee
essary for some time. until the diplomatic
negotiations had reached the point Of dead
Jock. But such assertions which are now
being made. miss the point of the whole
case. Too often in the past has the United
States permitted it's dealings with Turkey
to drag along until the sultan has gained

A Canal Conference.

For some days it has been evident that
the United States cannot confidently look
to Colombia to make haste in the ratifica-
ton of a canal treaty with the United
States satisfactory to this government. All
reports from Bogota conflicting though
they are on the face, indicate the same
fundamental fact that the Colombian legis-
lature Is not disposed at present to agree
to any cession of sovereignty, actual or
practical, and is bent upon a rewriting OF
the financial terms of the bargain 1t Is
equally clear that a canal treaty Daseo
upon any less degree of sovereignty over
the canal strip than that expressed In the
-Herran instrument or proposing
larger bonus to Colombia will not be &C
ceptabe to the United States. Therefore.
any hope based upon the possibility of po-
litical changes in Colombia bringing about
a situation favorable to the ratification of
a satisfactory treaty is frail at best and
time spent In waiting for such changes to
bring results is time wasted. Too much
time has already been lost.
Therefore it is gratifying to learn that
certain indications. noted in the news col
umns today. point to the consideration by
the administration of the reopening of ne
gotiations with Nicaragua and Costa RIGA.
Such negotiations, when begun should be
definitive, based upon the absolute aban-
donment of the Hay-Herran treaty under
the Presidents prerogative as defined in
the canal act of last year. There should
be no tentative resumption of the dealings
for the Nicaragua route for the purpose of
fastening Colombia to a decision acceptable
to this government. 1t is to be supposed
that the United States. before adopting the
new policy. will give Colombia formal no
tice that the period of negotiation will end
at a certain date, that it has actually
closed already This government cannot
afford to place itself under suspicion of
threatening Colombia with closure of the
deal for the Nicaragua route in order to
hasten action at Bogota.
The statute justifies the President in any
course he may take predicated upon the
definite ending of all dealings with Colon
bia- That government has indicated in the
clearest possible manner its unwillingness
strip. Therein it has placed itself in the
unreasonable category contemplated by
the act of Congress 1t may be that the
conference which it seems is soon to take
place here between the Secretary of State
and certain members of Congress will deal
with the question of the manner in which the
Hay-Herran treaty will be withdrawn,

positive answer to its propositions There

so that he could without embarrassment
attend to our representations. The conse-
quence is that it is extremely difficult 10
bring the porte to book for serious Of
lenses.
The prompt orders to the squadron to
proceed to Beirut may well stand even In
the light of subsequent developments. Even
If no shot has been fired at the vice con-
sui and the consul has been the victim OF
too vivid an imagination or too keen
fear, the presence Of our warships off that
port will be beneficial. 1t is evident that
there is serious friction there between the
Moslems and the Christians. and that our
naturalized citizens are in no small degree
of danger in consequence. The warships
will be more serviceable at Beirut in main
tanning the prestige of the United States
than at Nice or Genoa. where they have
recently been fulfilling only the social
functions of our floating representatives
Had the President waited for specific de-
tails doubtless he would have been criti-
cised for his failure to act with the neces-
sary promptness The only safe course
is to assume that official reports are cor
rect Also it is always safe to believe that
the Turk needs forcible reminders OF his
duty toward the Christian governments. 1t
may be true that some of the Balkan revo-
lutionists will be excited by our present
activity to imagine that we are preparing
to intervene in their affair. 1t Is not for
us to withhold our hand in defense of our
people and our prestige because of this
Beirut is distant from Constantinople more
than a Thousand miles, and it cannot be
claimed that whenever the Balkan politi-
cal volcano is in action this government
must hold aloof from all parts of the sui
tans domain for fear of encouraging the
agitatorS in that region.
If there were more promptness on the
part of Europe in seeking to redress wrongs
and to bring the old worlds chronic re-
calcitrant to book there would be fewer
occasions for such activity.

The Postage Problem.

1t has been stated. in connection with the
two legal decisions recently rendered in
the Treasury and Post Office Departments,
affecting the Districts relations to the gen
eral government that there is no appeal
from either. This being the case. an inter
esting complexity is likely to arise if mat
tiers take their usual course in the next
few weeks. The Commissioners finding
their former privilege of franked official
mail matter denied them by virtue of the
Postmaster Generals order, must Of
course. pay for their postage out of some
official fund No one could expect them
personally to dig deep into their own
pockets to pay this expense. And when
they take two cents from some of the mis-
cellaneous funds. such the emergency
or the contingency" appropriations, to buy
a stamp for a letter, they must make a re-
port thereof to the Treasury Department
In the course of time the vouchers for these
expenditures will reach the controller of
the treasury for scrutiny. They will natu-
rally impress him as unusual and he will
ask an explanation. The Commissioners have
but to furnish him officially with a copy of
the decision recently rendered by the law
officer of the Post Office Department. They
might, perhaps, in a spirit of helpfulness.
append the controllers own decisions of
August I and 22. classifying the District as
a part of the general government and
therefore as not entitled to use certain
moneys to provide for a detention camp
for persons suspected of suffering from
a contagious disease Should he dis
allow the vouchers for postage he must in
effect reverse the opinion of the attorney
for the Post Office Department VIII that
constitute an appeal? Should he allow the
vouchers he will in effect approve the de-
Cision. VIII that work out as an appeal
from and a reversal of his own ruling? The
controller must thus determine whether
the District is at one and the same time
part of the federal government and not
such part. He must choose between his
own definition and that of his departmental
legal colleague. or he must render a com
promise opinion. formally declaring the
District to be a reversible quantity 1t
would seem that the Commissioners should
lose no time in passing this problem along
to Its proper place of solution.

Drive Out the Turk,
m the St Louis Republic.

From the St Louis Republic
There are as many Mohammedans in the
world Christians but draw the line at
the Bosphorus. the natural boundary, and
lay down the rule that here Christian
realms begin and there Mohammedan terri
tory ends. A liberal Christian autonomy
for Macedonia and all of European Turkey
may serve this end. and may fit better with
the international politics of Russia, Italy,
Austria and Germany. Whatever the terms
upon which the main object Is achieved,
certain it is that the solution in south
eastern Europe is not reached until the
scimitar, symbol of the porte's rule. is
banished to its natural domain in Asia.

From the New York Evening Post.

Whatever may be said of the value of
the specific recommendations in regard

sociatiOn's committee on commercial law,
there is no denying the Importance of any
utterance from such a source. The Bar
Association is still one of the most infiuen-
tial bodies in our national life and one of
the most representative. When it is the
unanimous opinion of one of its committees
that the American bar should lead in the
work of regulating the great combina-
tons OF capital which now the Strik-
ing feature of Industrial life law
makers and publicists everywhere must
give their attention.
