Will Quiet Her Ally.

The Tribune acquits Japan of any de-
sire to pick a quarrel. and thinks that the
other powers. notably her ally. would
have something to say on the subject, and
is hardly to be expected that the Japa-
nese will feel much of sense of frater-
nifty toward the white rivals in the Pa
cific. 1t is obvious, the paper declares,
that England, an ally, may play a great
part in moderating the resentment of the
Japanese and checking their unWise ambi-
tons and. above all. in helping Japan to
achieve cordial recognition as a civilized
power. If Japan feels she is frankly
treated as an equal by the old powers.
the Tribune concludes, the temptation to
make herself feared where she is not re-
spected may die in the isolation from
