eEN..-mlLEs, ATTITUDE

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who marked
his advent in st. Louis by stating it as
his opinion that 'sCol. Roosevelt is a
better ,broncho buster than he is pres
identy has erected a modest little light
ming rod and is waiting for something
to strike it, The general will be nomi-
mated forthe presidency by David Over
meyer, of Kansas. His seconds have
not been named. Maybe they will new
er materialize.
Gen. Miles does not pervade the con-
vention with anything like the perya-
siveness of a man who might win. Far
be it from us to deny to any American
born the right to seek the presidential
nomination, but Gen. Miles, it must be
said, is inviting ridicule by his con-
slant posing as a presidential candi-
date. He was a good soldier. serving
his country in substantial fashion in
time of need. The West owes to him
and the men of his time and profession
more than it can pay. The nation, too,
was under obligations to Gen Miles,
but the debt was in some measure dis
charged by the military honors that
were bestowed upon him. Occupying
the high position of commanding gen
eral of the army, Gen. Miles tasted
more Of the military power than any
other officer of the army in time of alb
soIute peace. When politicians at
tempted to deprive him of his dignities
he was sustained by the sympathy of
the people. He retired full of honors
in spite of the cabal against him.
Z His friends are therefore cast down
by the spectacle of this warrior in the
days of his decline. For months he
has been dallying with the leaders of
the Prohibition party, who sought to
use him as stalking horse-and by
way of advertising. He has nothing in
politics. He is a temperance man, not
prohibitionist. At the last moment he
threw over the Prohibitionists and now
turns to the Democrats, a hopeless dark
horse.
1t is not nice, this spectacle of a man
who has been hero in the eyes of his
fellow citizens getting cheap notoriety
for himself by the aid of petty politf-
clans. The close of the convention will,
it is to be hoped, permit Gen. Miles to
drop back into that reposeful obscurity
to which his later life entities him.

Hard-Tines Reasoninu

Ihe hard times after 1874, if we are
20 oeiieve the press, were due not to
the panic of 1873, but to the tidal-waye
election of Democratic house in 1874.
But was there not a tidal wave cleo
ton in 1884 also? Did that not put the
republicans in possession not of the
mouse only, but of the senate also? Ac-
cordlngly, in the press view Of the
case we must ascribe the hard times
OF several years following 1894, not to
the slowness of the process of recovery
from the panic of 1893, as all the world
has done, but to the great Republican
victory in the election of 1894 OF
course. this is absurd, but it is not a
particle more absurd than the same
argument applied to the like instance
in 1874. The whole case for the doc
trine that all panics are Democratic
panics, and that nothing but good
times can be when the protectionist
party is on top, is too weak to stand
serious examination. But there are
limits of absurdity which its advocates
usually fail short of. This particular
bit of reckless special pleading caps the

But LITTLE SHOW
FOR RECIPROCITY
Canadians Are Likely to Raise
Tariff on Goods From the
United States
Globe Special Washington Service
fddH = OI.I

ffif ~ 0lreeC
WASHINGTON, D. c., July s.
Ihere is enough in the present Cana
dian tariff situation to cause the Amer
lean standpatters to pause. The Unit
ed States sells more than $780, 900, 900
worth of goods a year to the Cana
dians. and the Canadians sell approx
mately half as much to the United
States. Now the Dominion government
is talking about a revision of tariff
schedules on such lines that those
countries which favor Canada may be
favored in their turn, and those which
put nigh duties on Canadian goods
shall meet high duties in Canada.
This condition of things makes it
look as II Canadian reciprocity with
the United States were farther away
than ever. If the United States in
slsts on keeping up the tariff wall
AGAINST the Dominion, it is pretty GER
tam that the people of this country
will suffer for it.
On the 7th Of last month the Cana
dian minister of finance announced
certain changes in the Canadian GUS
toms tariff. The most important of
these are the lessening of British pref
erence on wooden goods and on Irvine
and cordage, so that nearly all classes
OF British Woolens are made subject to
duty OF 30 per cent, and that British
Irvine and cordage are made dutiable
at 20 per cent. There are other i'm
portant changes and the chances are
that others will be made
Proposes Separate Tariffs
The minister of finance expressed the
opinion that before the government
should attempt to deal with all the
details of general revision of the tar
If 1T would be desirable to have COM
mission make a full investigation and
report upon the subject, and that the
revisien,l when made, should proceed
upon the lines of establishing separate
tariffs to deal with different countries.
1t is hardly to be believed that, if
such commission were appointed lit
would overlook the fact that the Unit
ed States, Canada's nearest neighbor,
puts high tariT on nearly every
product of the Dominion, and that the
Republican party in this country has
ignored the demand for reciprocity on
important articles of commerce be-
tween the two countries. The PROPOSE
ton of the minister of finance is that
the commission should devise a high
tariff against those countries which
maintain high tariff against Cana
dian products, and that a low tariff
should prevail against countries which
make a low tariff on Canadian goods.

Wall street, like the country at large,

ties of gold have had to be exported to

JERUSALEM JARRED
Fire at Worlds Fair Throws
People Into Panic

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 5.-Fire broke
out early today in the kitchen of the
American cafe in the Jerusalem con-
cession at the worlds fair grounds and
for more than an hour threatened fes-
tival hall, the west pavilion and the
whole Jerusalem axhibit. After con-
siderable excitement among the Turks,
Arabs and other Orientals, who were
asleep when the fire broke out, it was
gotten under control. The American
cafe, which is in two wings and elab-
orately furnished, was Quilted in both
wings. The loss is $4,000 The cause
of the fire is not known
The widest excitement prevailed all
over the Jerusalem Enclosure by the
time the firemen arrived. The sounds
of shots fired by the watchmen had
awakened 700 persons who occupy the
various buildings Of the exhibit.
Without waiting for. clothes, many
jumped from windows or rushed into
the streets, half clad. Other thought
of their possessions and packed their
trunks, only to throw them from the
windows when they had them strap
ped, fearing they would be unable to
convey them safely down stairs. Trunk
after trunk was thrown to the street,
breaking open when it struck the
ground and scattering trinkets and
souvenirs of Jerusalem on all sides.
After them their owners would jump,
in danger of being seriously injured,
but none sustained more than slight
bruises.
Wadic Shachity, a Syrian, who lives
within the enclosure, rushed from his
rooms to the scene of the fire. and as
he passed the Central hotel a trunk
thrown from the second story struck
him upon the head. His injuries are
perhaps fatal.

THE DECISIVE CHAPTER OF AN
THRoPoLoGY

Publishers of magazines still con-
tinue to include in their weekly or
monthly offerings of fiction and fact
more or less Illuminating articles on
some phase of the situation in the far
East. 1t is. to be inferred, therefore
that neither the public nor the subject
is exhausted, though a change in the
character of many of the articles. re-
Gently published would seem to indi-
cate that the formers thirst for ency-
clopedia information has been assuaged
and that the demand just now is for
individual views.
Not the least interesting of the
views that have been proffered belongs
to Max Nordau and is published in the
recent issue of the International Quar-
terly. He approaches the far East
problem with the Unconditional zeal of
the mathematician, and if he does not
solve it, he indicates, at least, to the
anxious class what he believes to be a
correct method.
He begins by begging his readers to
examine the algae under the glass and
to mark the struggle for supremacy
which is constantly disturbing them
He abandons this special form in order
to call attention to all forms of life in
order to demonstrate that the struggle
for existence, in other words, for the
Nordau finally reaches man and dwells
on the latter's successful subjugation of
most of the lower animals These prem
ises, of course, are Darwin's, but it is a
Nordau deduction that is drawn. When
race types became distinct the white
man began his task Of subjugating his
black and his red brother, and Mr.. Nor
dau begs his readers to note that the
so-called superior race, after many hard
battles, has gained possession of Eu-
| rope, North and South America. Aus
tralias and Africa.
Inere remains uncOnQuered only
Asia and the yellow race. The occult
motive power of the present Eastern
conflict is, therefore, according to Mr..
Nordau, "the craving of the white race
for the accomplishment of its destiny
upon the earth, for the imposition of
! it's exclusive rule. The conquest of the
east" he concludes, .sis decisive chap
| ter of anthropology, one might almost
say, of zoology" But to prevent the
white race from feeling too assured of
the result, he calls attention to the fact
that when the yellow race poured into
Europe from the East during the mid
die ages, the white race was unable to
make an effectual resistance, the yell
low race left Europe not because II
had to but because it wanted to.
So it will be seen that although Mr..
Nordau leads up most successfully
from algae to Japs. he does not solve
the far East problem. But this was not
to be expected since he is not reckoning
the future. Inoeed. he has not even the
present well within his grasp, for he
fails to take account of the reality and

RESTORING A COOP PRECEDENT

President Roosevelt is to be COM
mended in the strongest possible terms
for his announcement that he will
make no speeches during the campaign,
and that he will decline invitations to
public functions where he would be
expected to speak. He has also let it
be known that he will receive no po-
litical visitors at his home at Oyster
Bay during the summer, except those
who are passed there by the chair
man of the national committee. He.
does not wish delegations to appear
there and call him forth for political
purposes In a word, he proposes, now
that he is officially the candidate, to
withdraw, as such candidate should,
from the brawling of the campaign and
let his supporters do the talking for
him.
Exercising, as we do, the right to
criticise President Roosevelt freely
when occasion arises, we give him
most hearty praise for everything done
which seems to us to tend to the res
toration of higher ideals and fairness,
purity and dignity in politics. This
leads in that direction. 1t is unworthy
of the presidential Office that the oc-
cupant of it or the man who is pro-
posed for it by his party should go
swinging around the circle begging for
votes. President Roosevelt belittled
his Office and himself when he made
his tour of the country a year and a
half ago. 1t was undignified and i'm
proper, and we are glad to~learn that
? he will have no more Of it. 1t is en-
tirely fitting that the candidate of a
great party, once or twice on great
occasions at some immense gathering
in one of the countrys centers, should
state for himself his personal position
and the doctrine of his party. That is
enough. To go out and mix with the
hustlers, to speak day after day from
the rear of train or on improyised
platforms at wayside stopping places
should be beneath the dignity of his
ambition.
Even more offensive, perhaps, is the
practice that has grown up of late
years of having delegations from
abroad call on the candidate at his
home and beg for speech. The home
should be sacred from this kind of in
vasion. Everybody knows that these
demonstrations are only half genuine.
There are lot of people whom Curl
oslty moves to visit a possible presi-
dent, and who feel themselves fiattered
py pelng allowed to enter his private
premises. There are a lot more who
are diligently worked up by the man
ayers Of delegations, primed with
speeches and with questions that will
enable their candidate to saw what
they think will, be to his advantage.
The whole Spectacle of a man seelxine
the highest office in the country, yet
willing to turn the most sacred snot
on earth, his home, into a political
busting and "a convention hall, is re-
pulsive. The disappearance of the
presidential candidate from an active
part in the presidential campaign will
be welcomed in this country, and is
certainly movement toward that
greater dignity in the pursuit, as well
as the conduct. of high office which the
American people need and desire.
