A WORD WITH 4 BROTHER.

Having inadvertently touched THE Brooklyn
Standard Union" on the raw, we would fam APP
ply a soothing lotion Our esteemed conteni-
porary was evidently wounded by our illusions
on Tuesday morning to Brooklyn autonomy, ana
in particular to McCarrens heroic pose as the
defender thereof Nothing could have been fur
Their from our thoughts than to betray THE
Standard Union" into expressions OF contempt
for Manhattan, which, like Brooklyn, is an in
tegral part of this vast and magnificent en-
porium. We never imagined that a passing
reference to the mysterious subsistence OF brook
lyn's hostility to consolidation just at the time
when it least expected, would subject us
TO the charge of cherishing jealous and resent
full sentiments toward that borough, and pro-
woke the uncharitable retort that the people on
this side of the river are slow, provincial ana
comparatively unciviized. 1t can hardly be
demanded that we should share that opinion,
but nobody shall persuade us to reply i'll kind.
We love Brooklyn. How could it be other
wise? 1.-THE eye cannot say unto the hand, l
have no need of thee; nor again the head To
1.-The feet, l have no need of you. Nay, mucn
more those members of the body which seem
eco no ,nora faahla arc necessarv For
"our comely parts have no need but God main
tempered the body together, having given more
abundant honor to that part which lacked
that there should be no schism in the body
but that the members should have the same
care one for another" We trust that nobody
in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond or
The Bronx is seriously inclined to dissent from
that infallible dictum.
As for the political as distinguished from the
civic identity of Brooklyn, we do not mind say
ing for the hundredth time that we hated ike
sin to see Tammany cross the bridge But 1t is
too late in the day for McCarren to undertake
the role of Horatius.

HINES AND Rules OF WAR.

The scattering of explosive mines over the
high seas, TO the peril of neutral commerce, Is
not TO be justified by saying that I'VE would
have il So" Such answer is not true. The
United States did. it is true, oppose at The
Hague the prohibition of submarine vessels cnd
other scientific devices in war; and it was quite
right in doing so. In taking that attitude 1t
simply insisted that civilized nation should
enjoy the advantages of it's civilization over n
barbarous one. in war as we'll in peace. 1t
held that scientific knowledge and inventive
genius and mechanical skill should count for
something in warfare, and that we should not
be compelled to fight with clubs and spears be-
cause some Central African tribes have not got
beyond those weapons.
But that is n different matter from putting
mines in neutral waters. To insist upon the
lawfulness Of using rifles and cannon in battle
is not to say we shall train them upon nom
combatants and neutrals. So TO insist upon the
lawfulness of submarine boats Is not to say
they may cruise about blowing holes In the bot
toms of neutral passenger ships and to say that
mines may be used in the belligerent's own
waters for harbor protection, is not to say that
any belligerent is justified in placing them in
neutral waters. There is no principle OF inter
national law relating TO war more clear and
distinct than that there must be discrimination
between beligerents and neutras. that things
may lawfully be done 10 belligerents which can
not lawfully be done to neutrals, and that a
beligerent must discretion and care to pre-
vent injury TO neutrals so long as they remain
within the neutral sphere. To say that war is
fell" and therefore we cannot ask or expect
anything better than that our sea routes shall
be sown with mines, is arrant nonsense. As
well say that we cannot expect anything better
than a repetition of the sack of Magdeburg
whenever city is captured In war.

Hay put forward at the beginning OF this war,
and to which we understood all the powers con-
cerned gave their adherence and support-name
~, that the theatre of conflict should he circum
scribed, and the immunity of neutrals and Of
neutral territory should be respected. We should
be very sorry to believe that either of the
belligerents had knowingly violated that prn-
ciple. There is as we have said, no technically
perfect proof that either of them has: but there
is the ugly fact that a ship was blown up by a
mine well out in neutral waters. 1t may never
be certainly known who put the mine there or
whether it was placed there or drfted thither
from further inshore; but the incident strongly
suggests to the belligerents the need OF the ut
most precautions against even the suspicion Of

vival of the Morrison Mills Cleveland Wilson
crusade will be politically practicable.
The opposition must make the issues in the
approaching campaign. But there is no evil
dence that the Democratic party is either eager
or willing to stake its fortunes on another def
mite crusade against protection. That party is
no more equal now to revising the tariff free
trade lines than it was in 1893 and 1894. In
fact it is far less fit. There is more protection
sentiment within the Democratic party now
than there was ten years ago. North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia have their cotton
mills Alabama has its coal and iron interests.
Louisiana wants, as always. to protect its sugar
industry. Texas fayors duty on wool. Cali
fornia wants high protection on fruits. Manu-
featuring has spread all through the MississiI pi
Valley, and hostility to tariff duties in that
great region has all but vanished. The Demo-
cratic party cannot seriously propose this year

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Rumors of a Big Battle Near Port
arthur Discredited.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, May 25-The military experts
are inclined to classify as a rumOr the report
that there has been a big battle near Port Ar
thur. From the most authentic information oh
tainable II appears that the Japanese force
which must have landed at Pitsu-Wo or at
Taku-Shan would hardly have been in condi-
ton for an engagement at Port Arthur. and. al
lowing FOR the percentage of reasonable Casu-
alties. they would not have in active operation a
force sufficient to justify the loss of $4,000 men.
Such battle may. OF course have taken place
in the neighborhood of Feng-Wang- Cheng. The
lack of confirmation of reports of such battle
at any place supports the impression that an en-
gagement of such dimensions has not yet taken
place. although officers here note that the re-
port is repeated with mathematical precision at
st. Petersburg to-day.
Officers here do not understand the present
advantage 10 the Japanese of an attack on Port
Arthur, mainly for the reason that it would re-
quire large force 10 effect anything. especially
as the Russians must by this time be fully pre-
pared for the engagement IL is figured that
there must be at least d.. 600 men In the garri-
sons of Port Arthur and Dalny which would
combine with the 1900 men of the Port Arthur
fleet in repelling attack from the invaders on
land II is also believed that the Russian posi-
ton must be protected by intrenehments and
supported by artillery in commanding positions.
Under such conditions the attacking force would
be certain to suffer heavily. Some officers say
that siege would be equally perilous for the
Japanese. since inactive force before Port
Arthur would lead to an attack by the Rus
SLAMS from the north placing the Japanese in a
hazardous middle position.
Some of the experts have construed the re-
ports and rumors as indicating retreat of the
Japanese rapidly possible toward the Yalu
River. and II this is the II is thought that
the Russians must have placed a formidable
force In the rear of the Japanese. menacing their
bases of supplies in Corea and threatening them
with the disaster OF flank engagement. There
are signs. at least. that Russia has been able
to take former Japanese positions south of the
Yalu River This has probably been accom-
pllshed by means of Cossack cavalry. II such a
state of affairs exists. 1t Is evident that the
first great engagement, of which officers hero
have been expecting information almost daily.
will occur nearer Feng-Waug- Cheng than Lao
Yang.

FOR AND AGAINST EDUCATION.

Carolina the other day, after denounclng as was

tude in general toward the negro

of their children. In their efforts TO acquire
property, to secure homes, to enjoy liberty anu am,
to elevate their race. we accord to them the luh
protection of the law. 49,.
pernanency of peace in the State, and essential
to the welfare of our peaple, white ana coioIsu
alike that in matters political the will OF the
white people shall be supreme. ana we aVo" oul
purpose to maintain white supremacy
This declaration seems to meet with the
hearty approval of The Charleston News ana
Courier" which says that by it the attitude OF
1.-The white people of South Carolina toward the
negroes living in this State is most clearly ana
satisfactorily set forth" We are fully pre-
pared to believe that It does express the attl-
tude of the great body of the white people Oh
South Carolina who, as intelligent Christian
men and women must be anxious to see all eie-
ments of the population elevated in character,
capacity and wealth OF course they must pre-
fer to have about them trained, thrifty law
abiding negroes like those sent out from Hamp-
ton Tuskegee, Talladega, Calhoun, Norhees III
South Carolina, and a hundred other schools
engaged in similar work, rather than to he
menaced by ignorant, degraded communities leie
to lapse more and more into DarDarlsm' 1t -
for them a matter of self-preservation in the
face of which no prejudice against the advance
OF the negro can stand permanently.
We do not understand, though, how The
Charleston News and Courier reconciles this
platform of education for the negroes with Its
persistent and we'll known opposition to move
1nents for education in the South Of both whites
and negroes. A few weeks ago it declared: Uni
''versaI education means universal suffrage, and
universal suffrage means absolute destruction
"of the South" Just how it can be opposed TO
universal education and at the same time take
satisfaction in generous provision for the edu-
cation Of negro children we do not see. is 1t
another case OF being for the law, but against
its enforcement? If the South Carolina plat
form means anything, it means acceptance OF
the idea of negro education, yet that is an idea
so hateful TO 1.-The News and Courier" that 1t
has no patience with Southerners who cooper
ate In movements even for better general edu-
cation of the South, lest universal education re-
suit. Just where 1t is going TO draw the line be-
tween education of the negro TO which Demo-
cratic conventions may properly point with
pride" and education Of the negro which 1t feels
bound to "view with alarm?

THE END SEAT.

So respectable is good motive that every
well meant effort to diminish the discomfort or
the crowded open streetcars is likely TO enlist
svmpathetic interest whether il be wise or fool
ish Alderman Stapleton may therefore reason
ably expect TO be commended for proposing an
ordinance aimed at the so-called "end-seat hog,
VINO has been copiousy described and depicted
in the public prints for several years. The al
derman thinks that everybody who takes and
keeps the end seat on the entrance side of An
omen car when another seat is vacant Is guilty
of an act of selfishness or something worse, and
that the nuisance so caused ought TO be abated.
He would consequently make a refusal to take
vacant seat nearer the inner side Of the car
Iuisdemeanor, punishable by fine not exceed
ing 500.
Mr. Stapleton's intention is excellent, but we
cannot believe that his ordinance is worth pass
ing. The case would be somewhat different If
nobody were allowed to stand between the
seats. AS it is, the alderman's reasoning is al
most wholly fallaciOus. He thinks that the man
who takes the outer end seat when he might
sit elsewhere is always selfish and often means
to insult women whom he compels to push past
him. AS q matter of fact, the man who has the
inner end seat Of a crowded car might as Justly
be accused, for in order to get out he must
necessarily force his way between the passen-
gers who are seated and those who are stand
| ing. If he was going far, his choice prob
ably judicious; If only a short distance, he
would have made less trouble for himself and
others by taking the seat nearest the exit. In
either case, he cannot avoid causing and suf
| fering annoyance 1t is unfair If not positively
outrageous, to assume that a man is hog
merely because he has taken the outer end seat
when other seats were vacant In doing so he
is quite likely to have shown good sense and
regard for the general convenience.
| 1t will be observed furthermore that Alder
man Stapleton is cunning only for the end seat
passenger. He has nothing against the man in
| the next TO the end seat, who, perhaps also
| wants TO be able TO get off easily and with as
| little annoyance possible to others after a
| short ride, but who may be just the sort of
rufhan the alderman has in mind If Number
| One Is deserving of contempt and a smart fine,
why should Number Two go scot free? Isn't ii
rather hard on Number One to- make him not
only abandon his original seat, but crowd past
Numbers Two, Three and -Four. who, very like
ly, would have preferred TO have him stay where
he was? In our opinion, the "end-seat hog" of
Alderman Stapleton's fancy, who has got aboard
In time TO choose the seat he likes best, may
fairly object to being ousted by late conner
who wants to be an "end-seat hog" himself
