Waiting for Mr.. Bryan to Speak.

MIR. HENRY WATTERsoN's aggravating

candidate for President who would unite
the party and inspire it with the hope
Of victory is at last explained. Reply
ing TO the persistent inquiry from every
point of the compass, When will you

1t is now two weeks since Mr.. WAITER
son appealed to MIR. BRYAN to, say
whether he wanted the nomination or
not, and urged him TO play the role OF
WARWICK in behalf Of Mr., WATTERsoN's
candidate who does not live east Of the
Alleghanies or south Of the Potomac and
the Ohio" Mr.. WATTERsoN reminded
Mr.. BRYAN that on the occasion OF a
recent visit to Washington he had said;

acceptable to all factions Of the party

Of "the imminent peril and urgent men.
ace Of intervention on the part OF
nations whose citizens have claims al
ready established or to be established.
Whether the danger vas really as great
as 1t was said to be and whether the
peril wal sufficiently imminent TO justify
the course pursued was and is a matter
Of personal opinion. The story is too
recent to need rehearsal. The Senate
delayed action on the treaty and an
interim arrangement was established by
a Presidential order.
TO Professor MoLLANpER was assigned
the work of effecting a scheme Of adjust
ment. His investigation showed the
nominal Indebtedness OF the island as
| ~aggregating some $50, OOO,O 900, of which
about $21 ,i04, 900 was represented by
| foreign claims and the remainder by
internal debts and claims. Subject to
the approval and ratification of a newly
drawn treaty, a New York banking
house agreed to handle $40, 900 900 Of
Dominican 5 per cent. fifty year bonds
at 96, the bonds to be redeemable after
| ten yearb at 1O215. An agreement having
also been made with the various claim
ants, the proceeds Of these bonds are to
be applied; First, to the payment OF the
debts and claims as adjusted; secondly,
to the extinction OF certain concessions
and monopolies; and third, to public
improvements. Under the interim ar
rangement there is now on deposit in a
New York bank about 50, 500, 900 belong
ing to the island, which will be available
for the above purposes when the treaty
is in force.
The foreign claimants are to accept
some ST., 407, 900 in discharge OF their
nominal claims Of SCI, 1O4 900, and some
IS 5000, 900 is to wipe out internal debts
and claims approximating $ii 900, 900.
1t Is hoped and believed that the end
thereof will be JOY and peace. Under
the new convention the President Of the
United States is to appoint a General
Receiver OF Dominican Customs, who
shall have charge Of the collection Of all
the customs revenues of the island dur
ing the life Of the treaty. Santo Do
mingo will be prohibited from borrowing
any more money, except by consent Of
the United States, until her old debts are
paid. She cannot change her rates Of
duty without the approval of this coun-
try. Our rights in the matter are ample
and our responsibilities are properly
limited.
Professor HoLLANDER's article includes
plenty of detail which is omitted from
| this review. 1t should be added here
that his work in the whole affair COM
mands attention for its ability and its
fidelity. II the plan works out as well as
it promises to, Santo Domingo will owe
him a monument or the plaza Of it's capt.
tai city and the United States will owe
| him a generous amount of gratitude.

pfdyAFsity blu,
BDsh.o Of fhosA measures are earnestly
desired by Irishmen, and II would bean
act Of folly TO forfeit the chance Of gain
ing them merely because the Rosebery
or anti-hoEne rule elementin the Cabinet
had Tins far prevented the Prime Minis
ter, Sir II. 6 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
and his home rule colleagues from doing
all tb;sy wished TO do for Ireland. In his
opinion the miscarriage Of the devolu-
ton bill has irretrievably discredited the
Rosebery members Of the Ministry, and
henceforth British Liberals will recog-
nize no alternative to home rule 80 far
as their Irish programme shall be con-
cerned. 1t is probably true that had
the Nationalist convention decided from
motives Of expediency to accept the
Birrell bill as offering at least a small
concession to Ireland's claims the policy
Of deyolution would have been substi-
tuted for home rule in the platform OF
British Liberals for years to come.
On the other hand it would be unrea-
sonable for Irishmen to visit the exas-
peration provoked by the devolutionists
on the Premier himself and those British
Liberals who for a dozenyears have been
and still are ~steadfast champions Of MIR
G~LADsToNE's second home rule bill.
The genuine friends Of Ireland in the
Ministry and on the benches of the House
Of Commons have as much right as they
ever had. to the friendship Of Irish Ma
tionalists. Why, then, should the latter
be called upon to withdraw altogether
from Westminster, and why should Irish
voters in British constituencies be asked
TO oppose Liberal candidates without
stopping to distinguish between devolu-
tionists and home rulers? 1t would be
stupid to confound their friends with
their enemies.
1t does not follow that, if any thorough
going adherent of Lord RosEBERY-Mr.
AsoUITH, Sir EDWARD GREY or Mr..
HALDANE-should at some critical con
~juncture find the eighty Nationalist
votes indispensable, these votes will be
forthcoming.

John Daniel Speaks for the South,

A careful examination OF Senator
DANIELS Lynchburg interview makes
it Enthusiastically clear that Virginians
feel very much alike. as regards the po-
litical campaign Of 1908. THE SUNS
canvass Of public opinion in Richmond,
published on this page last week, dis
closed an attitude practically identical
at all important points with that defined
by Senator DANIEL some days later at
another end Of the State. 1t disclosed,
intact, the fixed purpose OF the Demo-
cratic leaders Of thought and action to
return to the ancient party creed; and
whether for victory or defeat, to make
the fight upon ground they a occupy
With dignity and ~self-respect and in
advocacy Of principles and policies Of
which they need not be ashamed.
These Southern Democrats have had
enough Of populism and socialism, TO
a nothing of occasional dalliance with
anarchy, and are now resolved that for
the future they will at least fight under
the white banner Of Anglo-Saxon civili-
ration, whatever may be the conse-
auences. 1t has occurred to them that
something is due to the founders Of the
republic and the trainers of the Consti-
tuition. They are ready, therefore, to
assume the too long neglected functions
Of the high priests of American ideals and
to battle against the tide of mingled
autocracy and mobocracy threatening
our political structure.
Senator DANIEL speaks not only for
himself and for the thinking men Of Vir-
GINA; he speaks also, or so we implicitly
believe, for the intelligence, the SUBJ
lance and the responsibility Of the
Southern people. Hereby he indicates
with unassailable authority the atti-
tude of the Democracy of his section.
What he has said will doubtless receive
the support and COMMUNICATION Of Sena-
tor RAYNER of Maryland, of Senator
BACON Of Georgia. of Senator CULBER-
SON of Texas, OF Senators MORGAN and
jPETTus Of Alabama-of all the conscien-
tious and important men OF his part of
the country. Southern Democrats are
weary of blind leaders and their deluding
and false PHILOSOPHERS. In any event,
they will present to the country the much
needed spectacle of adherence to the
Constitution and championship of the
free institutions of our forefathers.

Conlicting Views OF the Irish Sltua'
ton,

from w, when Lord SALISBURY re-
turned to power, up TO the present time
the Irish Nationalist members of Parlia-
ment, some eighty in number, have
almost always acted as allies OF the
British Liberals. How will the virtual
alliance be affected by the Nationalist
conventions unanimous reputation Of
the Birrell bill delegating large admins
trative functions TO a central council at
Dublin? A small instalment Of devolu-
ton being the utmost that the Banner
man Government can offer, and there
being no certainty that even this would
have been sanctioned by ne House OF
Lords. the more hot heads Irish patri-
ots. Represented by the ~snn Fem tFor

the idea of cooperation with any British
partv. would recall the Irish Nationalist
members from Westminster, would have
Irishmen refuse TO enlist in the British
army or 10 enter into any business or
social relations with natives Of Great
Britain, and would have them boycott all
British goods.
There is apparently not the faintest
prospect OF such extreme measures being
taken. A very different and much more

Negro slave Owners.

To TIE EpIToR oF TEE SuS-Sir; ! have
noted In the newspaper q recent outburst OF
astonishment over the discovery" that col
ored people in various parts Of the South
we're slave holders before the civil war. and
have been much interested in the fact that
none Of these remarkable disclosures made
any reference to Louisiana or Alabama.
The fact is that both colored men and In
dians owned slaves In the two States men
toned. frequently in large numbers. previous
TO 1851. There we're no laws in either casa
which forbade such ownership by freemen,
and it is well known that as far back as 1871
