Gen. Miles does not pervade the con-
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 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

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
solute 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.
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 a stalking horse-and by
way of advertising. He has nothing in
common with the Prohibitionists in
politics. He is a temperance man, not
a 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 man
who has been hero in the eyes of his
fellow citizens getting cheap notoriety
for himself by the aid of petty politi-
clans. The close of the convention WILL

WASHINGTON, D. c., July s.
There is enough in the present Cana
dian tariff situation to cause the Amer
lean standpatters to pause The Unit
ed States sells more than $10O 900 900
worth of goods year to the Cana
dlans 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 high duties on Canadian goods
shall meet high duties in Canada.
This condition of things makes it
look as if Canadian reciprocity with
the United States were farther away
than ever. If the United States in
sists on keeping UP the tariff wall
against the Dominion, it is pretty GER
tain 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
erenee on wooden goods and on Irvine
N-to ~ Vase, 81 lIldl 10dTly all classes
or British Woolens are made subject to
a duty of 80 per cent, and that British
tW1ne 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 a general revision of the tar
if it would be desirable to have a COM
mission make a full investigation and
report upon the subject, and that the
revision 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 a commission were appointed. it
would overlook the fact that the Unit
ed States, Canada's nearest neighbour
puts high tariff 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 a high tariff against Cana
dian products, and that a low tariff
should prevail against countries which
make low tariff on Canadian goods.

Hard Times Reasoning

The. hard times after 1874, if we are
TO believe 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 tidal wave cleo
ton IN 1894 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 1898, 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 faf1 short of. This particular
bit of reckless. special pleading caps the
cl1max.-Baltinore News.

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. It 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
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 Internationa 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
possession of the earth, is general. Mr..
Nordau finally reaches man and dwells
on the latters 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,S North and South America, Aus
tralia. and Africa.
There 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, "is a 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

Wall Streets Stomach


Wall street, like the country at large,
is in the throes of digestion and indi-
gestlon which inevitably follow a too
liberal indulgence in the pleasures of
the feast. Enormous sums of floating
capital We're converted into fixed forms
during the boom and this waste of vital
tissue must be made good before the
body financial can be healthy again.
The process ef}absorption did not cease
with the collapse of the bubbles which
the captains of industry were so busy
in blowing. Roads like Pennsylvania
have emitted feams of new stocks and
bonds, While certain municipalities
have been borrowers on the grand
scale. To cap the climax, vast quanti
ties of gold have had to be exported to
meet payments abroad, and conserva-
tive financiers have naturally awaited
some sure sign as to the future Of the
money market. Moreover, the knotty
problems of labor have been strong
incentive to caution on all Sides.-NeW
