disposition and ability of the foreign power to
perform its obligations was examined, and the
risk of failure taken into consideration.

but his meaning was plain Palmer still was
the meaning of William H. Seward. Secretary
of State, when he announced that "ths govern

What more would Mr.. Bryan have? Shall all
these formal declarations of government policy
be printed on placards and posted on the statue
Of Liberty Enlfghtening the World? There can
be no objection TO reaffirming them three times
a day, of course But wouldn't IL be a trifie
superfuous: Why not vary the process with
announcements that the United States will no
longer engage in the African slave trade nor
pay tea taxes TO King George III?

SOMETHING ABOUT MARES NESTS.

Mr. Bryan fresh from the altruistic councils
the interparliamentary Union, ventures to
7gcst" that this nation may promote both
ace and profit by announcing that It's navy
will not be used for the collection of private
debts We should. In bis judgment announce
that Americans making investments or engaging
Il business II foreign lands must be subject to
the laws OF those lands; and he wishes us to
Sit up and take notice OF 1.-The distinction be-
tween the protection OF the lives OF our citizens
"and the use Of the navy TO guarantee a profit
con investments" He adds an intimation that
some profitable fields OF investment are closed
against Americans because other nations fear
that If they admit American capital American
warships will quickly follow.
II would be interesting to know where Mr.
Bryan discovered his mares nests. 1t would be
Interesting TO know when and where the United
States navy has been used as a means OF COL
lecting private debts. IL would be interesting

world supposes has ever supposed any such
use would ever be made OF our navy. Ii would
be interesting 10 know on what investments

there is a sad hiatus In our naval and diplO-
matte annals. II is a pity Mr.. Bryan did not
give Ms hint Of data from which # could be

For as we recall things. this nation has from
the very beginning been making in the clearest
manner precisely the announcement for which
Mr. Bryan asks and has been consistently living
Nh 10 IT, Alexander Hamilton more than cen
fury ago Is credited with having first put for

Drago doctrine. that national force should not

THE WAYS OF CUBAN REBELS.

The Cuban instruction, instead Of being
stamped out, seems to be spreading and growing
more formidable. Worst of all. perhaps, it Is
developing the rapaclous and destructive traits
which characterized former revolts In that ISL
and. The insurgents, who profess to be moved
by unselfsh, high and holy motives, are conduct
ing themselves like the most rascally and sordid
highwsymen and marauders. They steal all
they can lay their hands on. II they want it,
and if they do not want It or are unable to
carry 1t away, they burn or wreck it That Is
the burden of each days news. Towns are raid
ed and the inhabitants are robbed Of money and
portable goods. Estates raided and the
horses driven off. Shops and stores are broken
open, wrecked and looted. It Is campaign Of
grand and petty larceny and arson.
There was reason TO expect precisely such
developments from the outset. The resounding
declarations of some of the rebel leaders. that
they were fighting for a great principle and
would respect private property, were not at all
convincing. The sort OF WORK men will do may
generally be estimated pretty well In advance
from the known character, disposition and habits
of the men. When an inSurrectiOn or
ganiZed and led by notorious brigands, we an
ticipate loot, and we are strongly inclined TO
suspect that loot Is the prime object Of the
movement One of the lnsurgent agitators in
this country is represented as asking: why
should we spend money Tor rifles and car
"tridges?" Why. indeed. or for anything else?
1t is ever so much cheaper to steal theml
It will be found eminently desirable. however.
for these gentry to avoid footing American
property in Cuba. 1t may also be judicious for
the agitators in this country-junta, or what
not-who are said to be American citizens to
consider to what extent II is appropriate and
legitimate for them to conspire against gov
eminent with which this country is not only at
peace, but also is on peculiarly nitrate terms,
and over which, IN certain circumstances. it may
exercise protectorate. There is nothing In the
whole case which we should more regret to see
than need for American Intervention. We do
not believe there will be such need. But these
rebeIlion-promoting gentlemen who talk so glibly
about forcing intervention and annexation would
do we'll TO consider what might happen to them
If they were found TO be responsible for getting
this country into unwelcome business.

CLOTHES AND THE AMERICAN.

Teufelsdr6ckh In his tower communing with
the stars and the destinles on the subject Of
clothes reused national antpathies and kin
died no heartburnings. 1t is different. however
when the subject OF clothes is touched upon
not by philosophers, but by tradesmen and
talors who probably have an eye TO business
rather than to arriving at philosophical conclu-
sions. Hence It is that leading West End
tailor" as he Is described in London news
papers. has awakened a prompt response on
this side of the Atlantic by his statement that
mo Englishman orders his clothes from Amer
"ica: few Americans who can afford 1t, who
prize style, quality and fit, order their clothes
anywhere but In London"
Instead of CHASING this complacent remark
of the leading tailor with that other classic
of the sartorial profession, the proclamation
of the tailors of Tooley street, and so an end
Of it, the Bureau of Manufactures of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor In it's latest
issue of THE Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports" makes reply to the West End artist
whose pleasure and profit found In fifty
clothing the human FORM more or less divine,
to the effect that If all Americans who can az
ford It and who prize style and quality In their
clothes ordered their garments IN London there
would not be tailors enough In that city to
supply the American demand. for 1t Is no
"exaggeration to say that there are more peo-
"ple in the United States who can afford good
CLOTHES, and who wear good clothes. than IN
"all Europe, where as q rule outside of the
privileged classes, there are comparatively few
persons who can afford fine clothes or who
"aim to be we'll dressed according to the West
End estimate" Not content with repelling
this assault upon American Clothes the burea u
adds that nne-tenths OF the apparel exported
in 1905 from England were "slops"-cheap,
ready made clothing-and only one-tenth was
exported because Of Its style and superiority
and OF this lone tenth British South Africans
Australians and West Africans bought more
than Americans.
We hope the West End tailor. when he Pc
ruses his copy OF Consular and Trade Reports :"
will realize that the quill is mightier than the
goose, and that II would not be wise for even all
the leading West End tailors assembled IN con-
yention In Tooley street to incur Its onslaught

grown up without instruction and with the law
less instincts which so often accompany igno-
rance, and of course with a savage resentment
toward the government which has oppressed
them.
The result OF such a policy was inevitable.
For forty years Russia has been sowing the
wind in Poland Now she Is reaping the whirl-
wind In harvest of blood. She could not make
the Poles Russians. and she would not let them
be Poles. so they have become barbarians and
outlaws. But at their worst they are what she
has made them. and she must bear the conse-
Quences Of her malevolent handiwork.
