United States Not a Collector.

In discussions of the Santo Domingo
treaty the question has been asked
whether the United States is to be a debt
collector for the world Nobody has ad-
vanced the proposition or even made the
suggestion that the United States govern
nents should act in that capacity The
question is: Shall the United States ac-
quiesce in the plundering of the unfortunate
people of the island republic? If not how
is 1t to be prevented? By each of the
swiftly changing governments of Santo
Domingo concessions and public franchises
are granted. and. the consideration having
been paid, they are as quickly violated or re-
voked. Certain governments intervene for
the protection of their plundered subjects.
They have right to intervene under the
settled and universally accepted law of
nations. If the United States government
remains aloof the inevitable result must
be that the revenues of the republic will
be absorbed by the European creditors and
American interests will be sacrificed. In
short, the United States government, if it
pursues that policy. must abandon its in
terests in the island.
1t has been suggested by critics of the ad-
ministration that the United States govern
ment should courteously but firmly tell
other governments to keep hands off. This
would make the United States government
a law-breaker. Such an attitude its
part would put it outside the pale of the
commonwealth of nations, because of it's
refusal TO abide by the laws which govern
their intercourse with another No
civilized government has ever taken that
position If this course were to be adopted
is 1t to be supposed that European govern
nents would willingly acquiesce n this at
titude of the United States in a matter
and the interests of their subjects? If
1t could be supposed that foreign govern
ments would assent to this position on the
part of the United States, the latter must
also keep hands off while neighboring peo-
pie, who have vainly implored us for help,
perish in a welter of chaos. bloodshed and
desolation. 1t would bring darkest Africa
to our doors. Could it be seriously sug-
sested that the United States government
should lead in this new and astonishing
reform of the law of nations?
1t needs the strong and friendly hand of
the United States to help organize the
Dominican finances, to assure the main
tenance of order by putting the custom
houses out of the reach of insurgent chief
tains, to adjust its obligations on a basis
Of absolute equity and give to each what
honestly belongs to him and no more, and
assure justice to the republic which it is
too weak to secure in its own behalf.

men. indeed, have surprising musical con-
ceptions.
But to return to our muttons-or our
cats. Can tax be put on cats? OF course,
of course. Massachusetts,, there she
stands" can do 1t. Can the tax be collected
Aye, there's the rub. There is where CONSUL
tation with the cats will be required There
are agile tax-dodgers In all states, and. no
doubt. there are cats nimble and crafty
enough to profit by these unholy examples
Somewhere proposition was once made
to bell the cat, but 1t bore little practicai
result There Is a natural evasiveness In
the disposition of some cats which the col
lector of cat taxes may find difficulty IN
overcoming. A woodshed or board fence
which might momentarily impede the cat
tsxer would offer slight embarrassment to
the cat.

From the Chicago Record Herald.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
According to the report of the good
roads commission the people of Illinois
have spent approximately $75,OO0O0O on
their wagon roads during the last twenty
five years, and yet these roads are in little
better condition now than they were twen-
ty-five years ago. Obviously there has been
great waste, which is ascribable to the
makeshift methods of a comparatively
young community and it's neglect of a
scientific study of the road problem.
