Secretary Hays ill-timed and ILL
judged attempt to form combination
between the United States and the
principal powers of Europe for the
purpose of debating rules to govern
the war between Russia and Japan is
referred to by his admirers as the
new diplomacy"
To Americans familiar with the ira
ditions and literatures of their country
it strongly resembles very old form
OF diplomacy practised by one Buck
Fanshawe, 1.-The bully boy with glass
eye," who didn't give continental
for anybody" and who would have
peace If he had to lick every man In
the camp" Whenever there was dog
fight Buck Fanshawe was the master
Of ceremonies wherever there was
trouble Buck Fanshawe was there as
an active participant when time hung
heavy on his hands he went out and
looked for trouble.
There is nothing in Mr.. Hays med
dlesome act to justify the designation
of "a new diplomacy 1t even does
not come within the scope of the blunt
and honest methods of some of MIR.
Hays illustrious predecessors which
have been described as "shirt-sleeve di-
plomacy," however much the present
secretary of state may have endeavor-
ed to initiate that unconventional style
of dealing with foreign nations. The
coatless man with rifle in the hollow
of his arm defending his own habita-
ton is a character that evokes intense
admiration, but the man in a red I'M
dershirt with his trousers in his boot
legs who enters unlimited into public
drawing room and prescribes rules OF
etiquette transgresses every social con-
vention.
AS a type of crude, semi-clvilized
/ life of the mining camps in the Far
West Buck Fanshawe was character
that readily enlisted interest. AS a
character in the actual diplomacy of
twentieth century civilization he is
truly absurd and alarming. Chicago

The proposal of a very small loan
in Wall street these days is sufficient
to set back the market and give it the
cold shiyers up and down its finan-
cial backbone. Through sheer fear of
the voters, the Administration is
obliged to ask the banks to disgorge
about 20 per cent of the amount they
hold of the public money. 1t wants
it to pay the bondholders of the French
Canal Company and the Panama con-
spirators for the right of way for the
canal. These two payments amount
to $50,0O0,OO0, thirty millions of which
the banks will have to furnish Be
sides. a number of railroads are seek
ing new loans, some to pay indebted
ness already contracted, and others for
proposed improvements and extensions.
As an indication of the extreme ten
sion of the money market, though on
the surface it is made to appear in
normal condition the Associated Press
announces from Havana that the
Cuban loan of $35,0O00O0 that the
Rockefeller and other Wall street in
terests had agreed to float, cannot be
taken, as the monetary conditions are
deemed unfavorable for the floating OF
bonds at this time
This shows an enormous shrinkage
in the capacity of the banks and other
financial institutions to absorb even
the good loan offered and the inability
Of the public to buy bonds and securi-
ties Of the best character Even Wall
street has its limitations, and Rookie
Teller, Morgan and others are now
loaded down with trust securities that
they must carry for a time, or until
they can be shifted to other peoples
accounts.
Although the prices Of bonds and
stocks have deprecated enormously
in the past year. yet the public does not
seem to be attracted by the bargain
counter proposition. either through lack
Of money to purchase. or fear that the
lowest prices have not yet been reach /
ed. If the condition Of the crops in
the coming summer is favorable, it is
probable that normal conditions will
prevail in the money market; bat If
nature frowns, look out for financial
trouble at the money centers.

his popularity by giving sumptuous en-
tertainments or in extravagant self-in-
diligence, that is his own affair. From
another point of view he is responsi-
bic to the people for setting an exam
pie that is sane, wholesome and to be
commended. Lavish expenditure in
the White House stimulates wasteful
extravaganza in every other quarter.
The pernicious influence is felt more
or less throughout the nation. A fond
ness for display, desire to appear lib
eral and whole-hearted, whether one
can afford it or not, is having its eff
feet upon the people as a whole.
This fondness for the spectacular
on the part of the President and his
desire to do something of sensational
nature has just shown themselves in
the brilliant display of military pomp
when he ordered a welcome for ex-
Governor Taft. So pleased was the
President with the gay show of that
occasion, it is said. he will repeat or
increase the magnificent effect as CD
portunity offers for honoring special
favorites. President Mckinley, after
five years in the White House, had
saved $4,000, but at the rate Presl-
dent Roosevelt is nov going he is like
ly to need the support of his friends
in more ways than one.

The same tendency to excess which
President Roosevelt displays In public
matters generally Is seen in the man
agement OF his own affairs. The desire
to give brilliant and costly dinners,
expensive musicales and other enter
tainments in which he plays the part
Of host. added TO the maintenance Of a
large stable, fine country house and
innumerable extras necessary to the
indulgence Of his tastes. has made serf-
GUS inroads on his purse. 1t Is true,
he has a small private fortune and the
income from his books is not inconsid-
cradle, but even then he finds ii imp0s-
sibIe to live within bounds, and his
foadness for luxury increases each
season.
In a certain sense # is no ones bust
ness but bis OVID what the President
does with the rooney at his disposal
IL he chooses 10 use II in increasing
