To THE EDITOR OF THE SUH-Sfr: Hunting
Foreign Trade" in THE SUN OF November Q is inter
esting. and the object aimed at Is GER tainly very
desirable for American manufacturers, but II e1-
aggerates the indisposition OF our manufacturer
to supply what foreign markets require. The main
reason that the reports OF our Consuls and special
trade agents bear so little fruit Ia that though many
OF those gentlemen are faclle writer's, often show
ing the result OF newspaper practice. very seldom
does one OF them evince the trade instinct" or
state facts OF any real value.
Their figures seem generally 10 be a reprlnting
OF statistics. in which very little merchandise Of
American origin. II received in their respective
markets In foreign ships. is credited to this country.
but instead 10 the nationality OF the ship. or In some
cases to that OF the last intermediate port whence
that ship sailed.
Your citing OF the Standard Oh Company's ex-
ports really confirms the above. for that company's
business Is so large that II can AFFORD 10 maintain
representatives with the business Instinct" above
referred to in most OF the important foreign mar
kets. Not only are they alive to all that affects
the Standard OIL Company's interests. but II Is
often said that II an American visiting such places
desires accurate general Information he would
much better Inquire Of the representative OF the
Standard OF Company than OF whoever represents

Mr.. WILLIAM S. JACKSON of buffalo,
the Democratic candidate for Attorney
General, is reported as saying: "lf am
fortunate enough TO have been elected
by the people of the State, l shall take
pleasure in performing my whole duty,
as required by my oath of Office
One of the new Attorney-General's
FIRST duties should be to proceed to have
the vote for Mayor c~anvassed. The
present Acknowledgement refused to do
his duty in this matter even when urged
to II by Republicans Of the highest infiu-
ence and standing. We have always
favored the plan of open canvass, be-
lieving that it is infinitely preferable that
HEARST should be Mayor than that he
should be a martyr. We do not for a
moment believe that Mayor McCLEL-
LAN's tenure of office will be put in
jeopardy, although his w a%pprehen-
sion in regard to it is painfully obvious.
II Is intolerable hat HEARsT's impost-
ure as a martyr should continue. The
duty Of the law is plain, and we cannot
understand how any decent man can
stand being pilloried as a thief and a
fraud when he has the law to fall back On.
Does he prefer Office and a bad reputa-
ton towel, no Office and no reputa-
ton? We suppose that that is some-
where near the truth, but it does not
affect the public interest. That impera-
lively requires that the matter be adju-
dicated and settled one way or the other.

To THE EpIToR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
non-materialization Of the 10000 plurality
for Hughes over Hearst which so many san
guine Republicans predicted. who reckoned
rather by partisan fervor than by careful
study of real conditions. may bring the bat
tered and abused old party to a realization OF
its present deplorable status.
A few years ago, with Hughes as its csndi-
date against such a miserable fsker as w. X.
Hearst. before the frosty hand and wrecking
methods OF Odell had driven IL to disgust.
the Republican party would have been victor
by a quarter OF a million votes. This year
with almost anybody but Hearst as the Demo-
cratic candidate. even such a valiant fighter
and splendid specimen OF manhood as Hughes
would have been b~uried-by Republicans
And still there are many former leading
Republican politicians in every county In the
State who have sulked in their tents through
out this campaign. never lifting a finger to
help Hughes in his magnificent fight. hoping
within the innermost reoessss OF their hearts
that everything would go TO smash so they
could rise and shout that the destruction Of
the Odell machine was the cause.

voters Of the Confederation. The net
result Of the referendum and initiative
In Switzerland has been to make statu-
tory legislation more quickly and faith
fully responsive to the public wish, and
also to render the Constitution more
easily amendable than that of any other
country which is embodied in writing.
In the State Of New York any emenda-
ton of its written Constitution must be
ratified by the electors to acquire valid
ity, but the Legislature, unlike that of
Switzerland, has II in its power to defer
the submission of an amendment for an
indefinite period. The plan mooted in
the House OF Lords would make the
referendum immediate and mandatory
whenever the two houses of Parliament
should be at variance. This is obviously
amore thorough recognition ofthe popu-
lar will than is exhibited in the Consti-
tuition of the Australian Commonwealth,
under which if the two legislative cham
bers are unable to agree concerning a
particular bill that measure is referred
TO the two chambers sitting and voting
in common.
In the last half of the eighteenth CEN
fury, when the House Of Lords could
generally be relied upon to concur if
the House of Commons expressed its
desire by a large majority, the unwritten
British Constitution could be taxed with
the possession Of too much fiuidity, since
it practically could be changed by the
passage of a bill through the popular
chamber. Since, on the other hand,
n political party has acquired an I'M
shakable majority in the upper house
an excess Of rigidity may as justly be
imputed to the British Constitution, a
rigidity which would be cured by the
kind Of referendum which the Lords are
nov believed to contemplate. For that
reason, and because it would stop short
of fatal interference with representative
government, the proposal is n which
the House of Commons would find it
hard to resist.

CENSUS

To THE EDITOR OF THE sUN-Sir: In THs

show that the Socialists err when they con-
tend that the worker receives only II per ce mt.
OF the product OF his toll. and a mass OF sta

shall not bore your readers with a repeti-
ton of the statistics" quoted. They may be
exactly as the census report gives them.
I care not. When the Socialist quotes the
census report he does so with the knowledge
that he is using the ives pons prepared by the
enemy, and he knows that no matter how
discriminating the figures MAJ be the reality
is far worse.
Can you or your capitalist apologists deny
that there 10 untold misery in this country?
Dare you deny that there are in this country
two classes whose interests are diametricaIly
OpDosedI Il it not a fact that the one class.
the capitalist class. owns all the machinery
Of wealth production, and through this owner-
ship holds the other class, the workers.. in
abiect slavery? You may pirate about yonr
figures which cannot lie, but how about the
liars who sometimes figure?
The people OF this country are yet too
ignorant to realize their real condition. But
the Numbering giant will awake, and then
woe to those who bar his progress. Socialism
is coming. and none need fear it who longs for
peace and Justice. No man need fear it who
is ready and willing to do his share of the
worlds work. EDWARD KAY.

Provisional Government is one Of pa
thence even with the impatient and the
unreasonable. But the policy has it's
circumscription and the patience has
it's limit.
There is nothing at all surprising or
alarming in the little ebullition of a few
men who have leaped into a sudden and
brief prominence because Of a few weeks
of camping in the brush. They can only
delay, and perhaps only defeat, the con-
summation Of their OWL aspirations. 1t
will be a ~grievous blunder if they misin-
terpret the courtesy and the conoidera-
ton thus far shown them. If they mis-
behave they will find that the hand which
has patted them on the back in friend
liness and good fellowship is a heavy
fist il it falls in anger.
The work of the United States in Cuba
is the establishment not only Of a ma
terial peace but of a condition which the
Cubans call a moral peace" In the
attainment of that end it may become
necessary to take a few people by the
throat and shake a little common sense
into them.

French working women.

From the Ntneffenh century,
The DreiudIce against the working woman Ia
deeply ingraIned in French society. IL exists even
among persons In very moderate circumstances.
The little functionary OF the post once would be
horrined n his son were TO marry a girl who had
some occupation OF her own that took her from the
domestic nreside. The tiniest rente makes her a
"demolsclle." a femme du monde" almost: the
least profession OF business deRradcs her In the
eyes Of the concierge" Nevertheless. France
supplies more working women than probably
any other country In Europe. At least 90 per cent.
o. the feminine populs ton work. The husband
follows his occupation In the shop or factory; his
wife is employed as femme de MENACE" or in
some similar capacity. This arrangement has
us effect upon the population tables, tending to
restrict childbirth and TO cause children 20 be
placed out with a baby farmer" In the country.
The parents being themselves unable 10 look after
their offspring. II is. from this point Of view,
certainly unfortunate, But the main question Is
that woman has TO work: In many cases she can
no longer be supported. Sometimes she makes q
virtue OF necessity, and claims the right TO work.
There are many emplOymcnts OF an ofnclal and
routine character for which the woman seems
especially qualified. u Is n melancholy feature OF
the time that many young FTenchmcn. robust and
well ntted for the struggle of life. are content to
pass their lives In a heated and badly ventilated
public once. performing operations that are almost
mechanical. which could he done perfectly by
women. They arc tempted by the regularity OF
the small salary and the sureness OF the position.
This state OF things points IN a lack Of manly lniia-
tive and vigor. Moreover. II has It's reflex on
politics. The men who hl the public ofnoes fire.

are not there because they arc really wanted BY

Waning Cuban Patriotism.

The Cuban revOlutiOnists secured their
victory partly because Of the justice Of
their cause and largely because OF the
folly and stupidity Of their opponents.
A variety of elements appeared in the
movement. Some Of the less worthy
are now making themselves n little bit
offensive. The meeting Mt the Liberal
Club on Friday night was chiefly notable
for the absence Of any patriotic spirit
and for the display Of partisan venom
and greed for Office.
