FOOLISH Tux " CERl

The pertinacity of wOuld-be trouble makers in
Cuba would be amusing If 1t We're not Mt times
perniclOus. We have no idea that II will have any
very serious results But il is actually causing
some expense ana labor and anxiety, and some OF
its sQor dupes have had to be locked up-whch
may or may not be misfortune for them. Also
there are the possibilities that American inter
vention in the island may have 10 be prolonged
on account OF these petty devlltries and that
some distrust and anmoslty may arise from
them. But apart from these considerations this
whole neutrality-suspicious. bus
mess is laughable.
Note, for example, one of the latest triumphs
Of the inventive genius of the international hi
larity purveyorS. We are gravely told upon
the indubitable authority of a Spaniard In Cuba
who is so prominent that the majority of his
compatriOts follow his advice. that % per cent
Of the Spanards in the island would like TO
become American citizens, that they are now
making efforts to that end and that they have
hitherto repeatedly got busy along the same
lines with the same exalted ambition They
really feel surprised and not little aggrleved
that the Washington government has not
eagerly assented to their scheme ana has not
even paid any attention to it. What a chance
it is missing TO get some scores of thousands
of new citiZens OF course there are a few
obstacles IN the way. These Spanish gentle
men are not Americans, they do not live In the
United States and are not subject to its laws
and do not comply with any of the legal and
constitutional requirements of those who would
be naturaliZed. But what Of that? Why not
count them in just the same? And so if any
body In France Russia or Timbuctoo wants
to become an American citizen. why not take
him in? Surest thing in the world to swell the
census Of American citizens And, while we are
about it, why not put the canals of Mars under
the control of our Public Service Commission?
1t may be worth while, however, before pass
ing by this fascinating theme TO a consdera-
ton Of the Age of Ann Il contemplation of
the Great Horn Spoon, to remark that there
are the best of reasons for believing that the
whole tale is a fabrication, and that the Span
iards Of Cuba have and have had no such notion
or desire. That is because in the first place, all
Obtainable information is to the effect that the
Spaniards in the island are sane intelligent and
discriminating people; and in the second place.
there is the most convincing evidence, from the
utterances Of their representative men and Jour
nails, that their ambition is to see Cuba remain
! Independent and be developed into a stable and
worthy nation, with which they ask nothing bet
! ter than to be honoraby identified

STATE AIDED IMMIGRATION.

A recent decision Of Attorney General Bona
parte interpreting the exclusion clauses of the
new immigration law seems to have OcCasiOned
some surprise in Southern communities now
eagerly engaged in promoting immigration. Mr..
Bonaparte held, in a test case prepared by the
State of Louisiana, that Cuban farm laborer.
Geronimo Garcia, would have to be deported
because agent of the State Board of Ag-
riculture, in addition to furnishing Garcia with
passage money, had promised that employ
ment should be secured for him through the
boards good offices. Garcia had agreed on his
part TO pay back the passage money out of
his prospective wages Attorney General Bona
parte considered that the promise of employ
ment was given In violation of the statute
which distinctly forbids the offering of such
assurances to any alien Of the laboring class.
But neither Louisiana any other labor
| seeking Southern state should have expected
a different decision. The law is clear on its
face, and the opinion of the Department of JUS
tice comedies entirely with its earlier inter
probation OF the law, made last March at the
! solicitation of Governor Ansel of South Caro-
| lima. In that earlier opinion the rights of a
| state desiring to promote immigration were
| fully defined, and 1t was shown that though
! a state enjoyed much greater freedom of action
| than any Corporation association, society or
municipality" within its borders, yet neither
/ lhe sIdIe nor any INDIVIDUAL or association had
| the power TO enter into an employment contract
with foreign laborer. The state, for instance
| is permitted to advertise its attractions as n
| labor field, while no individual or association
| is allowed thus to solicit immigration by ad-
verhsement. a state may also pay the passage
of intending immigrants, out of its own funds
or may accept contributions from individuals
| to defray such expenses. Individuals may ad-
vance steamship fares IL acting separately and
not In combination with other individuals. But
corporations, societies and municipalities can
not advertise pay fares or even contribute
money to the state authorities TO induce immi-
grafton.

MR. TAFT IN CHINA.

Chinese comments upon Secretary Taft, his
visit TO China and present and prospective re-
lations between that country and America are
gratifying but by no means surprising. Mr..
Taft appears TO have done In China what he
has hitherto done in various other lands in both
continents. He has created a most agreeable
impression both Of himself and of the country
which he represents, has allayed actual or po-
tentiaI Ill will and has materially promoted
confidence and friendship. Such achievements
ere not always within the power Of ENJOYS.
They are not to be effected through diplomatic
inrigues or secret treaties, which may tenn
porarily govern official action, but which are
vain In their effect upon that public sentiment
which must IN the end be the basis of every
lasting peace and friendship. They are the out
come of directness and frankness and trans
parent candor and the capacity not only to see
but In some measure TO appreciate and SYM
pathize with both sides of q subject-qualities
which Mr.. Taft conspicuously possesses.
There was indeed the most substantial ground
for the doing Of the work which Mr.. Taft has
done ia China There was need that It should
be DONE and there was needed for the doing
Of 1t only revelation of the truth. Foolish and
mischievous babbling, received in China al
immeesurably more than its real worth. had
caused some trouble. It had been hinted
~inouf he slightest ground In fact or COM
mon sense that the United States might scut-
tie out OF the Philippines, leaving those islands
as bone Of oninous contention among other
powers; that Ii might abandon or countenance
the abandonment Of the open door policv in
China, and that it might become guilty of all
sorts or asgressions and iniuuities aeains,
China We cannot greatly blame the Chinese
for believing these things, Or eft least fearino
f0at f1ege might be some truth Ia them, but

all the license they need. II they want to en-
courage immigration they can do so by liberal
advertising and offers Of free transportation
But their functions should cease there; for
the states are not themselves employers or
labor in the technical sense, and If they nave
any employment to dispense 1t should go TO
citizens not TO aliens. Nor should any state
act as a go-between for individuals or cor
porations, furnishing them with labor under
contracts which they themselves are not al
lowed TO make. Special consideration is given
to the state because it is not competitor IN
the labor market and is not trying, like an in
dividual or a corporation, to import aliens Tor
its own advantage and to the possible detr1-
ment of native laborers. A state must be pre-
sumed to act in good faith and only for the
public benefit when it induces Immigration,
looking solely to the development or the whole
community and the greater prosperity Of all
classes of its citizens. In that respect 1t
stands apart from the individual or corporate
employer, who has a more direct and a mar
rover object in view. 1t can freely seek to
recruit its population, If it sees fit; but it
should not attempt to play the role Of an en-
plOyer of labor and offer contracts to aliens
which the private employer is strictly forbid
den to make

ALL RECORDS BROKEN.

On her second westward voyage the Lusltania
showed beyond all question her superiority to
the swiftest vessels in the German merchant
marine England's supremacy at sea, Temporal
rfly lost is now restored, with a prospect OF
being retained for an indefinite period. 1t Is
proud day for the country which the new steam
ship represents As vet the Lusitania has not
proved her ability to maintain for a continuous
trip a speed of twenty-four and three-quarters
knots on which her mail subsidy is made de-
pendent by contract. There is ample opportu-
nifty for that performance, however, inasmuch as
the demonstration may be made at any time
within year. 1t is not considered advisable TO
push vessel TO the limit of her speed during
the first few weeks of her service. No matter
how well the bearings are adjusted 10 the pro
peller shafts, a little wear is usually needed TO
reduce the friction TO a minimum. Moreover,
enough is known about the preliminary trials OF
the Lusitania TO warrant the expectation that
when the critical test comes she will realize the
hopes which have been cherished by the COM
pany which owns her.
Though the greater part of the latest voyage
Of the Lusitania was accomplished at a speed
without precedent, her passengers derived little
benefit from the achievement 1t was apparent
from her position yesterday morning that she
could not reach Sandy Hook early enough TO
come up TO her pier Immediately, even if the
engines were urged TO the limit of their capac-
ity But it can hardly be doubted that in the
future the Lusitanias passengers will usually
be able to land on Thursday evening. If the
Cunard company should adopt a port in the
English Channel as its eastern terminal several
hours would be saved by avoiding a stop at
Queenstown; an earlier start from Liverpool
might be made, or a slight increase of speed
would serve the purpose. OF the three possibil-
tiles perhaps the last will be the most easily at
taned.
The world will be eager TO learn at what cost
in fuel consumption the LuStania's triumph has
been won. Possibly an effective comparison will
not be feasible until she and the Mauretania
have both had a chance to exhibit their best
powers, but in time it should be possible to get
at the facts. The Deutschland's engines have
capacity of $4,000 horsepower, and the Lusi-
tania's were expected to develop between &C.,
600 and 10000. Were the new Cunard liner
equipped with the same type of engine as the
Deutschland she would require nearly twice
much coal, and that would be pretty handsome
price TO pay for gain of q knot and a quarter
or a knot and half If the use Of turbine
engines should insure perceptible economy, as
has been expected, there will be a discount from
the expenditure otherwise necessary. Before
any more steamships are ordered by other
companies definite assurances on this point are
likely to be demanded.

1t is gratifying to see how quickly and heartily
they accept an authoritative denial of them
There is one peculiar and unique cause for
rejoicing at the happy turn which American and
Chinese relations have thus taken. That is,
that this restoration Of complete friendship
and confidence occurs simultaneously with the
opening of the new era in Chinese affairs. 1t
was well for us to be good terms with
China under the old order Of things 1t is far
more important for America to be regarded as
the true friend of China and to enjoy intimate
relations with her at the very time when that
country is adopting an enlightened constitu-
tional system and is experiencing that awaken
ing which has so long been a subject of more
or less visionary speculation. The future of
China is immeasurably great and with the
best features of that future, in diplomacy and
in commerce. America ought to be and, If
the present promise holds good, will be closely
and benefcently associated.

THAT loan MATTER" {"

The very simple explanation by two Of the
Philadelphia capitalists and the legal representa-
tive Of the third mentioned in Mr.. Anthony y.
Brady's testimony involves q number Of marked
condolences. Mr.. Whitney, according to the
latest light thrown on the mystery, must have
borrowed the same sum- 100000, from each of
three, and presumably four men, all of which
loans he paid upon the same day and with An
thony n. Brady's checks. Although some per-
haps all, of these men were at the time directors
of the Metropolitan Securities Company, and
knew Of the purchase Of the Wall & COrtlandt
Street Ferries line from Mr.. Brady, through Mr..
Whitney, they thought 1t nothing curious that
shortly after the transaction they should receive
Mr.. Brady's checks from Mr.. Whitney. Then
there is Mr.. Brady's check TO Mr.. Whitney him
self for exactly the same amount to cent as
the checks to the four others. Was this loan
matter" too?
On the face Of the story up to date combining
the testimony Of Mr.. Brady and the assertions
of the Philadelphia traction men, the "rake off,
all went TO Mr.. Whitney. Why did he have
check for himself drawn to exactly the same
amount as the four other checks circumstance
so suggestive Of division? Could 1t have been
a device for misleading Mr.. Brady into thinking
the innocent and unwilling recipients of the
checks in payment of loans were in with Mr.
Whitney on the rake off,? The implication Of
these explanations is very severe upon the mem
ory of their late associate
