MoRE TRouBLE FoR CHINA

The Iibetan plot thickens with increasing
menace TO the comfort of China A little while
ago China approved the British-Tibetan treaty
That Was upon the representations Of her Am.
ban at i.hasa. who had all along been pro.Brit-
ish and who saw in the British triumph fine
rehabilitation OF his own status and authority.
Now Russia has presented TO China a vigorous
protest against the treaty, through the potent
instrumentality OF her Minister at Peking. and
China is reported 10 have swung temporarily
10 the other side and TO be regarding the treaty.

ish Minister at Peking viii 'get In his work.
and China will smile upon the convention once
more; and so the seesaw will go on indefinitely.
the two great powers alternately pushing and
pulling and impressing themselves upon The
hesitant and ali but lmpotent government of the
Celestial Empire. That is the way in which
more than one piece Of diplomacy has been car.
ried through. and it is the way in which much
business is likely 10 be transacted with China
until that country either falls entirely under
some alien sway or fully asserts its own inde-
pendenoe and sovereignty.
Little by little the terms Of the treaty are re
vealed, and are seen 10 be, as we have already
surmised. moro of a restoration than revoln-
ton. The topics dealt with are tie frontier
question, trade relations with Indis. the treat
ment Of British ENJOYS in Tibet, and-in this
last is the cruX OF the case-the foreign rela-
tons OF Tibet The stipulation OF the treaty
on that subject is simple and. on the face of it.
innocent Tibet Is merely 10 maintain her ex-
istng and traditional policy But what is that
policy: For that must bark back To the
treaty which Great Britain made with Tibet
some fourteen years ago, but which came 10

Lamas themselves, but with the Amban. and
the Lamas-it is believed at Russian instiGa-

Tibet was TO enter into political relations With
no foreign country except Great Britain. That
Is the principle. apparently which the present
treaty Is intended to revive and enforce, and
that. naturally, Is the thing to which Russia
most strenuously objects

ers 10 regard with careful scrutiny the propriety
OF the new treaty, but Russia will. of all, be
least entitled to do So gor the reason, as we
have already pointed out, that Great Britain IS,

DEcEPTTvE LEGAL AnrLcr

The lawyers Of this city who are proud OF
their profession must cherish a feeling OF re-
sentiment against the members of the Parker
Constitution Club, who have not only made
themselves ridiculous, but so far as lay within
their power, have discredite6 the bar by at.
tempting TO use the mantle of professional repu-
taton to give a fictitious sanction 10 pettv
partisan faulthnding and reckless political ha-
rangues
Mr.. Dos Passos arose to protect the Constitu
ton from the inToads of President RoosaveIt an
the ground that reconstruction was llnconstjtu
honal and that the Supreme Court decisions
some thirty years ago upholding the legal teDdar
acts were unconstitutional. Mr. Sbenord on
MS reputation as lawyer, assures us that wa
can save the Constitution only by electlne Judge
farAeF ana SO making 1t easier for Democrats
In the South TO nullify the suffrage provisions
of the Constitution. And now Mr.. Horntloyver
comes forward with perfectly absurd state-
mentg about the pension order. cbargtpe, tbo =
money was unconstitutionaly drawn from +ba
Treasury without appropriation. when. as a
matter OF fact, Congress specifically apnro-
priated the money necessary to nav the pen-
sions which might be allowed under the now,
rule as to evidence of disability established nv
the order.
The lawyers Of the Constitution Club have
given the public assurance on their professional
ful. impartial legal advice concerning the adj,
ministTation Of the government They stand
much In the relation Of counsel to client Yet
we find them. some frivolOusly and immata-
rally, some earelessly and ignorantly. and
some it Is to be feared maliciously and nm
truthfully, making state1pents to the peonIa
about the acts Of the administration and their
relation to the law and Constitution that are Ut
teriy without foundation or gross mlsrepresenta-
tions. II they made these statements az M.
litical campaigners. they might be taken for
what they are worth and allowance made for
the inevitable prejudice and passion of nol,t-
ical contest But when they claim attention as
lawy~s, passing expert opinions which Iavmen
are expected to accept on their professjonaJ I
authority. they are operating under false nre.
tences and wronging the whole bar If tbev
gave such advice to private clients on matters
of private interest, they would be ft for dis.

What would Mr.. HOrnblOwer think Of n

The Tribune quoted yesterday morning the
language which 1.-The Sun" used in 1898 in de-
nouncing the indecency of Justice-Boss Her
rick's sitting in Judgment in the Albany
Argus" case, wherein one party was personal
friend. political follower and former client OF
the Justice-BOss. and the other a political foe
whom the Justice-Boss had failed to intimidate
into the Herrick ring. The Sun then called
Herrick "a desperate political operator" who
openly committed the indecency Of perverting
his authority as judge for political purposes,
whom the press of the Empire State con-
demned as "a disgrace to the judiciary" and
whose court was foul"
If "The Sum- believes it's words were true.
now is Justice Boss Herrick now fit man for
Governor? II The Sun" does not believe its
words were true, If it permits itself such ex-
travagance in the vituperation Of a temporary
political enemy, what weight is the public TO
attach to like language of 1.-The Sun" at the
present time regarding the New-YOrk State Re
publicans? Rhetoric or recantation. which?
