The case Of Young Mr. Hyde.

2 We have treated with more OF less in
difference the specific allegations against
Mr.. JAMES HAzEN HYDE and the various
implications of personal dishonesty which
they involved. We hold, and it must
presently be apparent to the public at
large, that his individual shortcoming'
are of very little account in the indlct-
ment against the Equitable administra-
ton. 1t is a far Graver matter, 50 much
30, indeed, that Mr. HYDE is a relatively
negligible quantity.
All the same, while Mr.. HYDE, in a
spirit of defiant contrition, acknowledges
the truth Of the charges and pleads the
moral turpitude Of his accuser in ex-
tenuation Of their obloquy, il would be
preferable from all points Of view that
he observed some accuracy OF statement.
OF course IL is a universally conceded
point Of law that a piCkpockct who has
distracted a purse, and, being detected,
restores it TO the owner, by that act alb
solves himself from the intention and the
consequences Of crime. No sensible
person will dispute that. So, it seems
TO us, Mr.. HYDE, having been detected in
the abstraction Of the moneys Of the
policyholders for the purpose Of liquida-
ting Mr.. SHERRY's bill, might as well
have taken the public entirely into his
confidence.
It was a mistake to convey the idea
that the Cambon banquet cost only
$1,000 and that he, Mr. HYDE, had made
restitution Of that amount 10 the policy
holders. Six thousand dollars was not
the sum for which Mr. HYDE drew his
check the other day in response to our
friendly adnonl'j 'n3 Il was for much
larger sum, bIt a SUN nevertheless
which, TO our way Of thinking, may be
dismissed as immateridl. But would il
not have been more expedient, If per
haps less agreeable, to have told the
actual truth?
Moreover, while Mr. HYDE was dealing
with the incident, why did he omit TO
mention what was the purpose Of another
check Of his for a very much larger
amount-we know the figure, but we
don't want to appear too forward-which
he similarly covered into the policyhold-
ers' treasury? II related TO a wholly
different sort Of transaction, and we
frankly confess that Mr.. HYDE's action
filed us with apprehension and uneasi-
ness. If maladies Of the conscience we're
contagious or infectious, and Mr. HYDEs
trouble communicated itself 70 his fellow
syndics, We fear the shock would be more
than we could bear Suppose, for in
stance, that a moral earthquake broke
out in Mr.. HARR1MGN's midst!
We fear these half-conadonces will
injure Mr., HYDE's reputation. There is
Mr.. GAGE f. TARBELL, too. He is owning
up 20 a Communication Of himself with
the policyholders involving only sl35, 900.
Would Mr.. TARBELL have Us understand
that is the only transaction Of the kind
that be has lately had with the Equitable?

German sovereign's natural desire TO in
crease his oountry's greatness and TO
PLAY a memorable part in history
Mr.. ARNOLD WHITE, a we'll informed
contributor to English and American
periodicals, undertakes 10 answer the
question in the April number Of the
North American Rerie,r He lie con-
WINGED that Emperor WILLIAMS i'm
mediate objective Ia Holland and he
would doubtless, regard the visit 70
Tangier, which had not taken place when
the article was written, as a move TO that
end. That is TO say, the German sover-
eign, though he does not want Morocco
for himself, desired TO place himself in a
position where he could say TO France:
Absorb Morocco, II you choose, provided
you do not oppose my absorption OF Hol-
land. NJ. WHITE asserts that the seizure
Of the Netherlands, which Of course
would have involved the acquisition of a
colonial empire second only to that Of
Great Britain in respect of population
and wealth, would have been carried out
by Germany six months ago had not
Great Britain, France and Italy arrived
at a cordial understanding He main
tains that the friendly relations recently
contracted by France and England are
not due to any sudden discovery that
each Of the nations admires and loves
the other, but 10 a joint resolve to uphold
the status quo in Europe, and, conse-
quently, to fight Germany rather than
suffer Queen WILHELNuNA's realm TO be
incorporated in the German Empire
How could the annexation Of Holland
70 Germany be prevented by England
and France? Mr.. WHITE evidently
thinks that England's resistance would
be Of no avail, because, in spite Of the
lessons administered TO her in the Boer
War, she has not yet reorGani5ed her
army, and therefore any military opera
ton attempted by her would lack prompt
itude and efficiency. Long before she
could land an army corps on Dutch soil,
all points Of strategic value in Holland
would be occupied by German soldiers,
France, on her part could not reach the
Netherlands except by passing through
Belgium, and thus violating neutrality
which she has herself guaranteed It is
true that the Belgians like the French
and dislike the Germans, but they would
be afraid TO help tho French lest their
own country should share the fate Of
Holland,
No doubt the seizure Of Holland would
be an international crime, but it would
be no worse than the seizure Of Silesia or
the partition Of Poland There are many
preccdcnts for rapacity in the annals Of
the House Of Hohenzollern. Certain it
is, as we have said, that the Emperor Will
LIAM il never likely to have a better OPP
portunity Of making a deep mark on his
tory than lac has to-day.

what Does Germany Aim At2

We pointed out the other day that the
temporary elimination Of Russia from
the list Of great military and naval Pow
ers has given Germany an opportunity
Of aggTandizement such as sho has not
possessed since 1870, and such as Is not
likely to recur during Emperor Will
LIAM's lifetime. 1t seems improbable
that the opportunity will be neglected
by the German sovereign, for. although
he lie fifteen years older than he was
when he thrust BISMARCK aside, and al
though he has talked necessarily, he has
as yet done nothing to gain for himself
aplace Of eminence in history.
We may take for granted that Emperor
WILLIAM is alive TO the possibilities Of
the situation, and that, in seeking to
profit by it he will follow the line Of
least resistance The hope Of wrestling
from China the spacious and populous
province Of Shantung must be renowned
In view Of Japan's demonstrated ability
TO make good the programme Of Asia
for the Asiatics. The Monroe Doctrine
blocks the way 70 the creation Of a Ger
man colonial empire in South America.
il is equally evident that Emperor VII
LIAM does not want Morocco for himself,
because he knows that against the will Of
such great naval Powers as Great Britain
and France he could not land a regiment
IN the Sultan's dominions. He might
like 20 annex the German speaking towns
on the eastern coast Of the Baltic which
now belong 10 Russia bun he is bound
by ties Of kinship, by hereditary friend
ship and, doubtless also by his word Of
honor, not 70 seek in the existing drum

trades organizations, and yet the city, in
employing labor, cannot legally discrimi-
nate between qualified men who belong
TO particular organization and qualified
men who do not. The question will in
evitably become political one, and very
troublesome and annoying it is likely 70
prove before it is settled.

What VIII the Sure-Enough Jefrer-
sonians Say?

This years celebration Of JEFFERSON
natal day is approaching. 1t will be
interesting to read what his protested
disciples who in this city and in Chicago
are to celebrate his birth will set forth as
his political principles and their proper
application TO current politics.
For what political principles did JEF-
PERSON stand when he expelled the Fed
eralists from power and during the eight
years when he was President? That is
what the readers Of the speeches will
expect to learn.
The political party which under Mr..
ROOSEVELT won in the last national cam
paign has by common consent taken the
party name Of Republican, under which
JEFFERSON obtained the office Of Presi-
dent. How many, II any, Of the political
principles which in JEFFERsoNs day
we're covered by that name has Mr..
ROOSEVELT appropriated and is now
exploiting?
Those who are 70 meet in this city and
in Chicago to revive and rehearse the
political principles of JEFFERSON will
Of course remember that they are
not met to revive and rehearse the
political principles Of JACKSON, who
captured the organization Of the Jeffer-
sonian Democracy much as BRYAN cap
tured in 1895 the Democratic national
organization Of that day.
In which particulars do the political
principles now enforced and illustrated
by ROOSEVELT differ from those vindi-
Gated by JEFFERSON? They are as unlike
as light and darkness, it will be quickly
answered by many Of the orators at the
approaching jefferson dinners. But
please accurately describe and define
the points Of difference, declare whether
you prefer, for present use, the political
principles Of JEFFERSON or those Of
ROOSEVELT, and the reason for your
preference.
Why will not some Jeffersonian orator
begin now TO compose concise speech
for next Wednesday in reply TO these
questions?

In Ills message to the Cuban Congress
on April 8 President PALMA stated that
the imports Of the island last year
increased by SIS, 764,OOO over those OF
the preceding year. A little more than
5000 900, or about 90 per cent, Of this
increase appears in the American ac-
count, This is gratifying but still far
fppm satisfactory.
Imports for 1904 from the United States
constituted 42l5 per cent. OF the total, an
increase from 4Ol5 per cent. in 1908. A
part Of this increase only may be credited
to the effect Of the reciprocity treaty.
With our other immediate neighbors,
Canada and Mexico, coming to us for
nearly 90 per cent. Of their require
ments, without any treaty, some reason
there must be for our failure TO supply
Cuba with more than 42l1 per cent. Of
her purchases under a treaty specially
drawn by an American expert in favor Of
American wares.
This has a clear and concrete Illus
tration in recent experience. A few
weeks ago the Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor addressed the North Carolina
Manufacturers Association, assembled
at High Point He urged the necessity
for a more active canvass Of the foreign
market, and cited Cuba as a nearby field
forthe operation Of Southern cotton man
ufacturers. One Of his audience profted
by his advice, went to Cuba, and returned
with a very handsome list of orders.
Our exports 10 Cuba for the first eight
months Of the current fiscal year were
S24 ,l2e,6s7 compared with SIC, s9s, ss4 for
the same term Of the year 1904. 1t is our
own fault that they were not S34, 900, 900
instead Of $4,000 900. Our failure to Sc
cure better results is explained by our
general indifference 10 the fact that
plums fall to the man who shakes the
tree, rather than 10 him who lies open
mouthed under its branches hoping that
the fruit will drop into the receptacle
thus prepared for it.
