This important information, it will
have been observed, relates almost
wholly to Newport, the seat of fashion,
able supremacy in this part OF the coun-
try. Is it possible that the men and
women in question are as vulgar and
childish as they are represented to be?
Is there no dignity at Newport Are
the smart" people there only a collec-
ton Of cheap comedians and silly mounte-
banks?
We don't believe it. No society could
hold together which was so vacuous. 1t
would 60 to pieces from sheer WEAKNESS
of its monkeyshines and its insipidity.
We are inclined rather to look on this
printed tittle-tattle as merely the terrible
penalty which these poor people have
to pay for their smart" distinction.
Will not the end be that decently
decorous people will be driven into
simplicity Of living to escape from that
sort of notoriety? To be published as
a fool because you are smart must
grow to be 80 absolutely uncomfortable
that, of all things, people will avoid most
the reputation of "smartness.
Finally we commend the paragraphs

disposed to envy the rich and luxurious.
If the reading of such stuff does not cure
them of that unhappy vice their case
must be hopeless.

This is the first stanza Of a very affecting

Agawam school:

No wall doth It need rock laid and with mortar.

The Penalty Of "Smartness."

If our so-called smart set is as de-
scribed by the paper which peddles
out its scandal and gossip as specially
it is the most pitiable collection of people
which ever assumed fashionable promi-
hence. Its offenses against common
morality as conveyed by innuendo rather
than by direct accusation, are not Of
serious consequence; but the pictures of
it's life and character presented by this
purveyor Of tittle-tattle are of a society
without dignity, without repose, frivolous
and at its wits ends to relieve the
monotony of an utterly dull and dreary
existence.
Is it possible that the assumed fashion
able superiority Of America is correctly
depicted in such sentences as these, which
we take from the last number Of the
most notorious society" paper?

The Sea Level Canal.

The subjoined letter, saying what II

lates 30 a acquisition OF hydraulics which
has not been overlooked entirely by
engineers:
ITO THE EDITOR or THE Sus-.str: Your edi'
eor1ai headed The Extra Session and the Panama
Canal must lead the Ignorant majority OF your
readers 70 believe that canal without locks can
he cut through the lsthmus OF Panama. AS

NEW YoBK. July 2s,"
Consider the fearful warning that is
afforded by the Suez Canal For hall
a century before DE LEssEPs dug the
ditch much had been heard of the i'm
possibility of reconciling the waters Oh
the Mediterranean and the waters OF the
Red Sea to mutually respectful and re-
spectable behavior, without locks. Sur
veyors had established the fact OF
a dangerous difference in the mean level
of the two seas. Was it that the canal
was sure to drain the Mediterranean into
the Indian Ocean, or that the Red Sea
must inevitably rush northward with
yehemence unknown to its activities
aimee the overwhelming Of the hosts OF
PHARAOH?
Then again, apart from the contlnu-
eusly nerilous inequality OF mean level
there were the diurnal variations occa-
stoned by the circumstance OF tides IN
the Gulf of Suez confronting tideless
Mediterranean. There, likewise, was
failure to synchronize. Nothing but the
stoutest system of locks at the southern
gate could prevent tidal incursions
which would render the canal an elon-
gated maelstrom. We're richly laden
ships expected to warp through the
canal against the torrent; or, going In
the same direction, to shoot it, as II
it were Nile cataract?
What has become of the dire prog
nostications Of the theorists? With
what perfect ease, grace and docility
the Red Sea tides enter the Suez end OF
the canal and distribute their harmless
forces along its lower reach, up toward
the Bitter Lakes If Mr., "YoIcKs' has
been at Suez he certainly has failed to
observe the slightest impeachment to
navigation caused by any inset OF waters
ct that lockless point
1t is not the -impossibility OF con-
structing a lockless passage or strait
across the Isthmus of Panama that is a
matter of concern but the unknown dura-
ton Of the delay involved in committa
OF this Government to the policy of sea
level or nothing" The canal demanded
by the conditions is the lock canal that
can be completed in the shortest time
and opened to navigation to be trans
formed when necessary into sea level
passage without interruption of traffic.

The Peace Conference at Portsmouth.

Both Of Japan's plenipotentiaries,
Baron KoMURA and Minister TAKAH1RA,
having been presented to President
ROOSEVELT, and Count WITTE, Russia's
chief pleMpotentiary, being now on
the Atlantic. while his coadjutor, Am
bassador RosEN, is already in this coun-
try, we may take for granted that the
peace conference at Portsmouth will
open on or before Aug. 10, which was
the hoped for date. Absolute silence
has, of course, been maintained by the
Mikado's representatives concerning the
terms which they have been authorized
to offer. but some light on the irreducible
minimum Of their demands has been
thrown by remarks of their attache,
Mr.. SATo, and by unofficial reports
from sources usually looked upon as
trustworthy. ., :.
As regards the preliminary question
OF an armistice, which Mr.. ROOSEVELT
is said to advocate, there is no evidence
that Japans plenipotentiaries are author
lied to grant one. On the contrary,
the events that are taking place on the
Pacific coast OF Asia indicate that the
Toxic Government is determined to
turn to account the interval that is
likely to elapse before an agreement
u reached for the termination OF the
war. II the principle vii possidetis
should be proposed as the basis Of an
accommodation, it is obviously for
Japan's advantage to possess as much
Russian soil as possible at the date when
the treaty is signed. 1t is equally clear
that, II Japan means to exact a large
pecuniary indemnity, it would be useful
to have at her disposal a good deal OF
Russian territory, which she might
give bac by way Of an equivalent con-
.cession. The Japanese recall no doubt
that BISMARCK in 1871 refused an armis-
tice until the preliminary treaty of peace
was signed, AMI went on occupying large
tracts OF French territory in addition to
those sections of Alsace and Lorraine
(which he vas determined to keep.
Il is certain that, since the belligerents

foreign loan, in order that Japan should
