The Foraker Resolution.

The Senate committee on military affairs
should adopt the Foraker resolution provid-
ing for an investigation of the Brownsville
episode. 1t is respectful in terms, and re-
lates to a matter of wide interest Mr. For
aker is a lawyer. and has gone into the
case at some length The President is not
a lawyer but has been advised in his course
by lawyers. So we have. often happens,
lawyers of distinction both sides. No
great amount of time need be consumed in
looking into the matter, and relieving it of
some at least of the doubt that now en-
veops it, If it is possible to get at the
facts no pains should be spared to that end.
Certain it is that the Investigations made
by the army officers under the President
orders have left much to be desired; and
the deficiency should be supplied by tri-
bunal acting under the authority of Con-
gress and composed of men accustomed to
taking and weighing testimony in cases of
difficulty.

Telephoning From Trains.

A dispatch from Louisville brings news
OF the utmost Importance to the trav-
cling world 1t is announced that success
full tests of device for telephoning from a
moving train have just been conducted, con-
verSatfons being carried with perfect UNI
: Outstanding between persons on the ex-
detrimental train and others in the city.
The device depends for its success upon
establishing connection between the train
and the telephone wires running parallel
to the track. y jet Of chemicalized steam
Is thrown from a trolley arrangement on
the pilot of the locomotive to the wires.
thus completing the circuit without in
volving the raspng sound of trolley wheels
. or other means of securing a moving con-
tact.
The first thought in this connection is
that by means of telephony communica
ton can be established from one train to
another. thus reducing the chances of COL
trains were equipped with this device-and
all should be so equipped Immediately upon
full proof of practicabiity-it should be
. possible for each engineer always to know
the whereabouts of the train ahead and the
train behind. a system of reports from
train to train at certain places and times
could be devised as check uDon the
block signal system, being regarded. how
ever, only as safeguard against the fall
ure of the latter. In no case could train
men safely be relied upon to manage their
own schedules. or assume responsibility
paramount to that of the dispatcher or the
towermen.
OF course train telephony will be a great
convenience to travellers. To keep in con-
slant communication with Office or home
will permit degree of comfort and ad-
vantage in railroad journeys never before
known. To business men there will be a
distinct gain in keeping in touch at all stages
OF the trip. II will be similar to maintain
irS communications with the shore by wire
less while on board ship at sea. There may
be an ultimate disadvantage in thus being
fettered by the facility of intercourse, but
this is one of the penalties man must pay
for living in the strenuous age

Holiday Trade and Prosperity.

Are there pexsimists who still cherish the
belief that the times are out of joint and
the world is waggiDg wrong? Let them go
forth upon the streets and watch the great
crowd of package-la people, look into
their happy faces and see the dawn of the
Christmas cheer upon them. Let them push
gently, as becomes an investigator and not
a last-hour shopper-into the stores and
note the tremendous tide of trade and esti-
mate the size of the fortunes that are
hourly changing hands. Let them stand by
the delivery doors of these same stores and
observe the avalanche of goods poured forth
and sent hurryipg away by electricity and
horse power into tens of thousands of
homes.
Then will these same pessimists. if honest.
WAIVER in their forebodings. Then will they
gain a conception of the good times that
are blessing the land. No surer sign of
prosperity and of confidence can be found
than these tokens of bountiful buying at
Christmas. The people are buying because

The Wars That Never Happen.
From the Springfield Republican.

They are at it again. Those profoundly
wise experts who have the war map of the
future plotted out in their imaginations
conclude that nothing can save the United
States from war with Japan-some say
within twenty-five years and others within
five years Among European military men,
1t is said. this war is being freely discussed.
They foresee even the course of the strug-
gle. Japan would at once occupy the Phil
ipplnes and thus compel the United States
to conduct campaigns across the wide
ocean under immense disadvantages The
sorry plight of America may be already a
source of enjoyment in European capitals.
=. The experts who predict future wars,
however, are old acquaintance. Their mil
itary records as forecasters throw all the
village weather prophets into the Deep deep
shade. 1t is true that they predicted every
war that ever happened. But imagine, If
you can. the number of wars they predict
ed that never did happen. The year does not
pass in which they do not have some ma
ton preparing to let loose the war dogs. No
little unpleasantness can arise anywhere
under the blue skies that they do not imme-
diately set the drums to beating.

James Bryce.

To appreciate fully the compliment Great
Britain has paid us in selecting Prof. Bryce
for the mission here we must consider not
only the distinguished talents and charac-
ter of the man but the circumstances sur
rounding the choice. We have committed
our business with that government at times
to the hands of our best, but they were
always free for the service. Mr.. Motley
went from his books. Mr.. LOwell's APP
pointment was a promotion. Mr.. Phelps
had only to disengage himself from law
practice. Mr.. Bayard had held higher
place here at home, but was then in private
life. Mr.. Choate when commissioned was
a New York lawyer. while Mr.. Reid was in
the editorial harness.
But Prof Bryce is not only one of the
ripest and most distinguished of English
pubcsts, but to take up work at this
capital is laying down work of a highly
important character in government at
home. The post he relinquishes is one for
which he possesses exceptional qualitca-
tons and had his heart in. One may easily
imagine that his persona, tastes, could he
have INDUCED them, would have kept him
I'm the secretaryship for Ireland. He did
not hesitate, however, to fall in with the
popular view of things, and will come to
us excelently disposed to do all in his
power, and with pleasure, toward keeping
the bonds between his country and this
strong and secure.
While there is, and will continue to be.
diplomatic business of Importance for a
British ambassador to transact in America
the presence of Prof Bryce in this country
will operate for good far beyond the limits
of diplomacy itself. He will be welcomed by
all Americans of light and leading, and
lowered with their confidence and admira =
ton. He stands for the best of English in
stitutions, and for a thorough and sympa-
thetc comprehension of all that is best in
ours. There is no statesman. no scholar,
no man of reading in the United States,
who will not take pleasure in this appoint
ment. and be happy to embrace any oppor-
once a compliment to US, and a respectful
notice served on the world at large that
between Great Britain and America all is
well. -.E. :s
For the retiring ambassador there is only
hearty and%genune respect here. The i'm
pertinences of gossip respecting his reasons
for returning home have made no impress
sion on representative and responsible cir
Giles. and he takes with him the good wishes
of all who have had the pleasure of his per-
sonal acquaintance, or the opportunity of
observing his official course

Fifty Golden Years.

Tho celebration of the fftieth anniver-
sary of the wedding of Justice John M.
Harlan and his estimable wife Is an event
of national interest. Their friends are
found In all sections of the country, and
wherever found are of the best and most
loyal type. certain to enter into the warm
= spirit of todays occasion with all their
hearts. Numerous good wishes have already
been received, and more will follow before
the function shall have closed
In both Kentucky and Indiana the interest
of course is of the affectionate character
of lifelong acquaintance. In the former
state Judge Harlan was born and reared.
and in the latter Mrs. Harlan, and both
have kept in close and cordial communlca-
ton with the people among whom their
early lives were spent. Fortunate are they
too in the survival to this day of three of
the ladies who assisted at the marriage,
and in the arrangement which enables all
three to be present on this notable occa-
sion .'.a-.- 49,
In Washington. where Judge and Mrs.
Harlan have resided so long. the feeling of
cungratulation is universal and most hearty.
In taking up life here they identified them
selves with the community's best walk and
aspiration, and their contributions to all
good causes, social and religious. both in
deeds performed and in sympathy vouch-
ga fed, have secured for them not only the
admiration but the love of all their numer-
Gus associates and co-workers. Their home
has reflected the capitals best spirit, their
hospitality has been generously. whole
somely and unaffectedly dispensed. and
troops of friends attest the worth of their
natures and the success of their activi-
ties.
Completing the picture today, and adding
TO it's beauty and inspiration, are the chill
dren and grandchildren assisting in the
ceremony The sons all men of use
fitness and distinction, carefully trained,
and illustrating in their lives the best quail
tiles of their enviable inheritance from
both sides of the house. OF serious mind
and firm purpose, they have taken an in
fiuential part in affairs, public and pri-
waite, and even greater achievements are
within the confident expectation of all who
know them and have followed their careers.
Judge and Mrs. Harlan, all are delighted

wish that many more years may be counted

Bryanism and Hearstism.

The Chicago Evening Post quotes prom
fnent member of the democratic state COM
mittee of Illinois as saying
It's easy enough to explain the big
slump in the democratic vote in Illinois at
the last election. So long as Organism and
Hearstism are permitted to run the party
the democracy can't win. Bryan never can
lead the democratic party to victory. We
must get back to the fundamental princi-
pies OF democracy il we are To regain any

Every election proves the necessity of get
ting away from tire vagaries that have gov
.erned the party since 1896
IL is easy enough To propose getting away
from Organism and Hearstism, but how is
II to be done? And with what would the
democracy replace those two isms! '.Funda
mental principles is very vague. Rufus
Choate, IL Ewing, would characterize the
phrase as a gl!ttering generality. Is it any
thing more? Mr.. Bryan insists that his
whole platform is based upon fundamental
principles His explanation of his two de-
feats is that the Cleveland wing of the
democracy deserted those principles and
surrendered to Wall street, and, as he ex-
plains it, Judge Parker lost because Wall

street both made the nomination and wrote
that years platform.
As for Hearst and Hearstism. there are
many good politicians, unfriendly to both,
who insist that only the former lost in
New York last month. Mr.. Hearst practi-
caly named the whole democratic ticket,
and he was the only candidate on it de-
feated. The others in office, it is insisted,
will represent Hearstsm. AT any rate.
they were discovered" by him, were
elected after a spirited campaign which he
financed to the confessed sum of quarter
of a million dollars, and after the result
declared they deplored in a public ex-
preston Mr.. Hearst's fall outside the
breastworks.
And so we have the question: If Organism
and Hearstism are ruled out Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Hearst must follow, and what
would be left? Mr.. Culberson is a good
man, but he has twice supported Mr..
Bryan, and two years ago supported Judge
Parker. Mr.. Wilson is a good man, but
has no influence in politics. If either one
was nominated on platform advertised
as entirely free from Organism and Hearst
ism would either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Hearst
support him? If not, how many votes would
the candidate be likely to receive at the
polls? He might carry few Of the south
ern states on the strength of the party
label, but none other His republican OPP
ponent-any one of the half dozen men
available to that party-would make
show of him.
Letting go of q bear after an energetic
grapple is easy in comparison with letting
go OF either Organism or Hearstism mat
is the distracting truth which faces the
democracy.

Morally Indefensible.
From the New York Globe.

Secretary Metcalfs report only serves to
drive deeper the conviction that the attitude
of the San Franciscans. so far as it con-
Germs Japanese children-nOt grown mems
morally indefensible. though probably de-
feasible in law. Only ninetythree Japanese
children in the schools. and more than a
fourth of them citizens of the United States
could these work injury to the multitude
of white children? The sentiment and con-
ditions prevailing in San Francisco are
such-the population is necessarily so wide
ly scattered-that segregation means that
but one child is in attendance upon the
Oriental School. With the President and
the Secretary of Commerce and Labor the
country must hope that San Francisco will
alter its course in this regard.

Discharge Of the Negro Battalion.


The precedents advanced by Mr.. Roose-

that it would be better to stand upon the

The letter of Gen. A. B. Nettleton which he

mere emotional rhetoric and contains not a
