EDITORIAL

Assembly held on the -uen,y fifth Of
JULY
Then, the political parties are in
honor bound to do what has been
promised. and the political chiefs,
those that direct the policies of the
parties, have the same obligation.
If what is desired is the good of the
country, if its salvation is what is al
med at, and not the qualification of
selfish ambitions, the enthusiasm sho-
uld be reserved. as we'll as the express
sions of gratitude. for the time when
the national powers comply with the
claims and demands embodied in the
morial adopted by the above body.
And we ought to confne ourselves
to what is therein contained.
Because that memorial is the will of
the country aud of all the people.
That which is not embodied in the
resolutions of the municipalities. that
which is not asked for by it, becomes
offcious meddling when rendered to
us and therefore to be viewed with
diStruSt
1t should be remembered that be-
fore the Governor went away. he
said that he would ask for American
citizenship for the colopists. Let it
also be remembered what a series of
obstacles, of hindrances and oposi-
|tions were encountered in the forma-
ton of the League from Official centres.
And let it likewise be remembered
that in the mother country the resoun-
ding voice of the united municipali-
ties produced an imposing effect on
the minds of the people.
Remembering all this, the mind
cannot escape the logical conviction
that the political chiefs here have con.
tributed to the blow dealt to the Lea
que of Municipalities.
We thought the time had passed for
blind trust and extreme credulity; we
believed free from errors-owing to
the bitter lessons of experience-the
men who have so often risked the
fortunes of their followers; but now
we see that we have been mistaken.
They are like the weather vanes, shift
ting with the changing winds.
But some of our politicians are in
capab BILE of profting by their own ex-
perience, much less by that of others.
Fortunately. on the present occa
sion, neither the picturesque wording
nor the announcements in brilliant
prose have made single proselyte.
Without denying the brilliant attrib-
utes and talents Of these men, the
country contemplates and judges them
as geniuses who have gone wrong
and lacking in proper recognition
of what is SO serious.
Modern peoples think.
And our people know how to think
and judge, and it is they who form the
opinion Of the country

The politicians are overwhelming us
with their premature opinions about
the message of President Roosevelt.
1t appears as if sort of contest,
wager, had been undertaken to see
who could make the most daring
quesses about as much of that message
as is known.
Indulging in levity and forgetting
the serene gravity and repose which
they ought to manifest, the politicians
have so far made transcendent decla :
rations and shown censurabla lack
of seriousness in treating of the frag-
mentary parts of the Presidential me-
ssage brought to US by cable.
Those who have assumed response
bilities in the matter of public opinion;
those who have undertaken TO mea-
sure and direct and to show discretion
in affairs of transcendent importance,
those who have the duty of moulding
opinion, accepting unreservedly the
words and meaning of photographic
despatch, have fallen into most
lamentable error.
The attitude of those politicians is
not consistent with the present situa-
ton nor is it in keeping with the act :
ual state of things.
They ought to have preserved their
serenity; they should have curbed their
rejoicings; it would have been better
had they adopted a prudent and con :
their
enthusiasm until the justice which
produced it was confirmed, and not
INDUCED in wild applause when it
is not even known what will be
the outcome of the recommendations OF
Mr.. Roosevelt. nor whether that
which has reached us is free from the
possible errors of transmission.
1t is all right for the press, immedia-
te comments are necessary and indies
pensable, although based on the un-
certain text of cablegram which ap-
pears with the stamp of redemptionist
appreciation.
The newspapers have the obligation
of satisfying the legitimate curiosity
of the masses, which is always impa-
tient to know the various opinions re-
garding all matters Of public interest.
All those who have pretended to
influence public opinion and direct
multitudes, libersI'y explaining and
amplifying the little that is known of
the mesa ge, have fallen into the cum
ming trap set by the government.
All the good that has been re-
Gently accomplished is in danger of
being lost.
And this danger threatens the Lea
que of Municipalities.
Have not both parties formed a
compact, moral and political, touphold

GERMANS TO GET WELSH COAL.
Syndicate Buys Ono OF the Hest Fields
--Graye Matter for England.

Special. CdM' Despatch 10 THE Sun.
LONDON, July 15.-Rumors have been in
circulation for the last few days that for
eign syndicate has bought a large part Of
tho Welsh coal fields, on which the British
navy is practically dependent for its steam
coal. In replying to a question on the
subject in the House of Commons the other
day Prime Minister Balfour said he had no
information concerning the report. but he
treated the matter gravely, saying that any
such transaction would unquestionably
require exceptional treatment
The report is denied locally, but the TOE
cr1ph now states that the Whitworth estate
near Meath has been sold to German
syndicate for $3.50 COO and that the syndi-
cate will take possession in August. The
estate comprises 1000 acres, and is one Of
the largest coal estate, in South Wales
1t contains the best steam coal. German
engineers have been carefully examining
the property 1t is understood that the
development of the coal seams will entail
the expenditure of c50n,OO0.

In suppressing this affair tonight. They
stamped 1t out promptly and are to be COM

In my opinion these riots spring up after
great deal of preliminary trouble. Usually
children are responsible. A colored man,
for instance. will attack a child. There is
sure to be white man to AXE the child's
part. The negroes rally around the man

that Mr.. Alexander Is 30 i'll that members
Of his family fear he will not recover.
-Mr. Alexander said he, sis being
attended constantly by physicians. He
Is staying at the house OF friend In Long
Island not very far from this city.
THE basis Of his trouble is something like
uremia, from which he has suffered long
time. This was aggravated by the mental
strain and worry attendant upon recent
happenings in the Equitable. Mr.. Alex
ander Is gravely III.
1T il not true that he is in any danger OF
going insane, but his mind was under such
tension that 1t has become clouded. His
doctors do not yet understand the relation
Of his bodily illness to his mental condi-
ton. For that reason late developments
in the affairs Of the society have not been
told to Mr.. Alexander. as it Is necessary
that he be kept perfectly quiet and tranquil.
He has been confined most OF the time
to his bed.

because they do not want callers, or desire

Your Western Remarks.

OTTAWA, Kan, July l4.-In introducing
Gov. Folk Of Missouri to the Ottawa Chau-
ta,idua this afternoon Gov. Hoch Of Kansas
said Of the recent speech Of District Attorney
Jerome OF New York in regard to law en-
forcement:
1T was a matter'of great surprise to me-
as it doubtless was to you, my fellow citizens.
that so distinguished representative Of
law enforcement as Mr. jerome should
come to the West with message of weak
ness rather than strength, OF criticism
rather than commentator. of hindrance
rather than help, to those who are striving
to uphold the standards of good govern
ment, whose fundamental principles have
briefly outlined in this short address.
His views may or may not reflect the
sentiment of his own State, to which he Is
personally amenable, but he cannot without
protest be permitted to venilate those
views in Kansas and Missouri. And now,
my fellow citizens, it gives me great pleas
ure to extend hand across party lines to
the distinguished citizen of our sister State
whose public career as we'll as his private
life Ia an inspiration to young men and an
honor to his country
