LET rs BE TRANQUIL!

There really seems TO be no sufficient cause
for getting excited over the situation at Nigo,
at Gibraltar and elsewhere. 1t may be little
surprising that the Russian fleet has so soon
sailed from Vigo though, as a matter OF ract'
we do not know whittier it has sailed. Suppose
it had started back for the Baltic-that would
scarcely be an act of war; would it? But If 1t
Is proceeding on toward the China Seas, neither
is that necessarily an act Of war. AS we un-
derstand il, 1t is the men who command the
ships, and not the ships themselves, that are
70 be put on trial. If the men are left behind
it does not so greatly matter what becomes Of
the ships They will be within reach whenever
they are wanted. The mobilizing Of forces and
Of ships by the British may seem little start
ling too; but neither does that make war In
evitable 1t simply shows that while working
for peaceful settlement Great Britain does not
propose to neglect preparation for war.
That the Russian ships have sailed in a spirit
of defiance is not 10 be supposed. The tone Of
the Russian government for the last few days
has nor been compatible with any such proceed
ure, Moreover, it would be difficult to imagine
anything more foolish than such a move would
be on the part of Russia. For her feet is noto-
riously Incapable of coping with or Of evadng
the British feet. Without calling out more than
a fraction of her naval forces Great Britain
could easily stop the Russian ships at Gibraltar
or at Suez, at the Cape, or at the Straits OF
Malacca off Hong Kong. Or If she let them
so all the way to the Yellow Sea, her squad
ron there is strong enough TO dispose Of them
without trouble. We have no thought that any
such extreme measures will be taken or will be
called for. But the knowledge that Great Brit
ain could do thus and so should be sufficient to
cause serious doubt Of any defiant or belligerent
action on Russia's part.
1t is therefore judicious for us to remain tran
gull and not TO see a spectre Of red in every
cloud that blows across the Bay of Biscay. 1t
is not conceivable that Russia wants to add to
her embarrassments and troubles which al
ready are sufficient to burden any nation AS
for Great Britain, her strength is so great and
the whole case is so manifestly and completely
within her grasp, TO deal with as she sees fit at
any time. that she can well afford to be patient
even indugent The Russian feet may sail
from Vigo. It cannot get away in all the Seven
Seas from the reach of the British navy II
may do no harm for 1t 10 be reminded of that
fact. 1t surely will be reminded of II II, on
passing the Pillars of Hercules. il finds itself

curely nominated. and why did he make his
grandstand play for gold only AFTER the New
York Democratic papers had read the rlot act
and told him that he had everything TO gam ana
nothing to lose by it? Was 1t just a habit or
his resulting in an unnecessary and coward
ly evasion? Was it because Judge Parker Is
in everything a trimmer, just as he was when
he went down to Hokes own State and talked
of the Fourteenth Amendment without men
tioning the vitaI-but politically embarrassing
feature of the Fourteenth Amendment
Hoke. who himself has india rubber convic
lions conformable to any shape required by his
political interests is a fitting advocate of Judge
Parker as a sound money man. What would
William E. Russell, were he living, have to say
for either Of them? Just about the time when
Hokes gold convictions were oozing out and
Judge Parker was jogging along as a party
man ready TO vote for silver or gold, Mr.. Russell
was invited to go down to Virginia and speak.
He answered that If he did he would speak his
convictions and they might not like that They
suggested that he gloss over the money QueS-
ton. He refused. Then they told him to come
anyhow He went, bravely told them what he
thought and, though they did not agree with
him, they respected him. Imagine Judge Par
ker doing anything like that! When he went
South, instead of standing bravely for some
thing, like Russell he tiptoed softly about as if
he were walking on eggs, for fear he would do
something impotic and scare away Southern
delegates. That is just the sort of political abil-
| ity that would naturally appeal to Hoke. Won't
Hoke assure us, too. that the South stands for
the constitutional rights of the negro, so there
will be no need for Judge Parker to depart from
his policy of evasion? 1t would be just as
plausible as a sound money Character for the
! st. Louis convention from him.

THE REVIVAL OF HOKE.

Foke appeared on the platform with Judge
Parker on Monday night and made an elo-
ouent speech 10 show what good goid galh-
ering the St Louis convention was. Hoke. II
seems as if we had heard something about tnls
Hoke before Is be not the same Hoke VINO,
Ike Mr. Carlisle entered Mr.. Clevelands Cabl-
net believing in silver; who was converted INTO
q stanch gold man by Mr.. Cleveland Tor SO
long as Mr. Cleveland was powerful to promote
his political fortunes; who then turned around
when new star was in the ascendant. and tried
his best 10 turn the country over 10 the silver
ties: Yes it is the same Hoke. After having
professed the deepest devotion to the gold stand
srd as soon as the siverites Uiumphed at Chi
caco in 1896 Hoke's courage oozed out, he
fopped over and had the effrontery TO proclaim
that platform for the free coinage Of silver
at l6 TO ! was in fact a declaration in favor
Of the maintenance Of a sound currency.
If Hoke believed that platform TO be a dec
'laration In favor of the maintenance of q sound
currency" which Mr.. Cleveland and thousands
Of other Democrats rejected as programme Of
imitation and national dishonOr, need not
wonder at any statement he may make now
When he says, AT the last Democratic conven-
''tion the overwhelming sentiment was in favor
.'of the gold standard" his hearers will recall
the fact that he thought 10 TO l meant sound
money and is not of sound mind on financial

committing the unpardonab bic sin. If Judge
Parker's telegram was needless, what becomes
Of his heroic virtue, about which we have heard
so much? Was "the man at last OF THE Even

over. Hoke IS an editor and he should be care
full Of the feelings Of editors and not insinuate

sending that telegram. telling him that he was
as dead as a doornail If he didn't. We're false
prophets.
II that convention was overwhelmingly for
gold, why did it vote down the gold plank? If,
as Hoke says, mo man could have won the
nomination who was not believed 10 be in
favor OF the gold standard" why did David B.
Hill distinctly tell Mr.. Bryan before the com
Inittee on resolutions that be did not know what
Judge Parkers financial views were? If, as
Hoke pretends the Democratic party was such
q sound gold party, why did Judge Parker take
pains 10 have the public know that he voted
twice for free silver; why did he make q State

HOW BRYAN LOVES PARKER
Convincing Proofs from the St. Louis Con-
vention.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: William Jennings Bryan has habit that
grows upon him of eating his words. Depart
ing from Indiana. he mentions that he has made a
special campaign in that State, and takes a per-
sonal interest in It's going for Parker In that he
has eaten more hard hot words of his own than
any man before the people has done within the
present generation.
In the closing of exciting and desperate
harangues at the St. Louis convention there was a
division between Mr. Bryan and members Of the
committee on resolutions. and he wanted the
criminal trusts to be punished This was at the
time Mr.. Hearst a candidate lOr the Presi-
dency and publishing that Judge Parker was a

ARBITRATION WITH FRANCE.

That is an agreeable announcement, that an
arbitration treaty has been made between
France and America. 1t is not surprising,
since it was authoritatively stated not long ago
that negotiations for such a treaty were under
way Moreover France has been making such
a treaty with Great Britain, and the latter
power has also made others with other Euro
pean countries, so that international arbitration
may be said TO be lin the air." and 1t Is only
natural that this country should join In the
general movement, especially since America has
long been regarded as the foremost advocate OF
arbitration. 1t may be expected that similar
treaties will be made with other countries, and
it may with some degree of confidence be hoped
that having been negotiated, they will be rati-
fed and put into force
1t is true that an arbitration treaty with
Great Britain was negotiated, and was reject
ed by our Senate, some years ago. The causes
of its rejection were obvious, and were not in
sufficient. There are some extremes to which,
in the present state of international affairs, a
nation cannot well go in committing itself to
arbitration. But the present treaty, as do those
recently made between Great Britain and varf-
Gus Continental powers, may be supposed TO
avoid any such Objectionable features We may
assume that it leaves every case open at first
for efforts to settle it by the ordinary processes
are recognized by both powers to have failed
that arbitration is to be sought; and that, more
over, no question involving the vital interests
the independence or the honor of either party
is to be deemed arbitrable, each party being
for itself the judge of the nature of the ques-
ton at issue
In brief the treaty will probably prove to be
nothing more than a more direct and explicit
application of the principles already subscribed
to in the general treaty of The Hague. In the
latter convention all the signatory powers prac-
tically promised to submit certain cases to ar
bitration under certain conditions. These new
treaties between individual nations will be spe
cifc reafffrmatons Of that undertaking between
the individual nations concerned. That will not
put arbitration above independence, nor will it
cause any nation to abrogate its own sovereign
ty in favor of some alien or international tri-
bunal. But it will be- with all its limitations,
long step toward the prompt rational and
peaceful settlement of many matters that
hitherto have been causes perhaps not of war,
but at least of irritation. suspicion and resent
ment.

MORE TREES NEEDED.

In the northwestern part OF the United States
and on the Pacific coast of Canada forest fires
have been appallingly destructive Such extern
sive ravages OF valuable property are lamenta-
bic in the extreme.
Look the whole globe over, however and II
will be plain enough that trees useful for all
the purposes for which lumber is required have
been greatly diminished in numbers In recent
generations, and that few countries have es-
tablshed departments for protecting the woods
which are of real value to mankind In these
