CONGO ANNEXATION.

The latest and probably the last Of King ! CO.
polds efforts to coerce the Belgian Parliament
into annexing the Congo State on his own terms
has failed and has been abandoned since his
recent fruitless visit to Paris and to the French
government and the whole matter has now
been taken up by the Belgian Parliament for
consideration and settlement according TO its
own discretion and judgment 1t was the Kings
desire to have the African territory annexed 10
Belgium as colonial empire, but to have his
own status as its absolute sovereign left unIm-
paired Belgium was to assume full response
bility, while he was TO retain full authority.
That scheme was emphaticalIy and properly re-
jected. Its acceptance by the Parliament might
have meant something dangerously like popu-
lar revolt
The plan which now seems likely to prevail
Is for Belgium to annex the Congo and to as
sumo full responsibility for it, and at the same
time to assume full authority over ii. radncluo
the sovereign of the Congo State to the CON
sdtutiOnal limitations of the King of the Re
gians and making the Belgian Parliament su-
preme. Indeed, ii is urged that logically there
should no longer be a sovereign of the Congo
but when that state becomes part or a posses
sion Of Belgium it should be reigned over by
the King Of the Belgians 1t is, of course. not
necessary that a colony should be governed pre-
clSely as the home country is. On the contrary.
precedent and reason suggest that there may
be radical differences. But at least it seems
essential that the authority which is supreme
in the home country shall also be supreme in
the colony. Thus, when we acquired louisiana
and afterward Florida. those territories were
governed very differently from the states of the
Union; but it was for Congress to declare bv
law how they should be governed and whether
the President should administer their affairs
as constitutional president or after the ar
biraiy manner Of a Spanish vceroy. So, after
the annexation OF the Congo, it is held King
Leopold must administer its affairs not as an
absolute sovereign, as now, but as the executive
agent of the Belgian Parliament and people.
That the result will be the Immediate trans.
formation Of the Congo administration is NOT
TO be expected. The Kings existing administra.
tive machinery will necessarily be retained for
the present, and Belgium will naturally dasira
to continue reaping profit from the exploits.

TILE ERENcH SAILORs, STRIKE.

That is a sharp and menacing challenge
which the labor unions of France have gwen 10
the governments recently expressed policy con-
cerniug such organizations among the servants
of the state We explained the other day That
the General Confederation Of Labor, under so
cialist direction. had sought to 'unlonize not
only the entire civil service but also the Naval
Reserve in order to be able through strikes or
threats of strikes to coerce and dominate the
government and that the government in reply
had forbidden its employees to join the Con
federation and had prepared bill denying their
right to organize strikes.
Now some one hundred and seventeen thou
sand men of the Naval Reserve. including
twenty-five thousand of the actual war fleet,
have gone on strike, crippling the navy and
paralyzing commerce, for the avowed reason
that their union does not think the Increase OF
pensions lust granted by the government is
large enough \ more direct and extreme de-
fiancc of government orders could not easily be
conceived or an act more clearly calculated to
raise the issue whether the government is to
command its employees or be commanded hv
them. The case is similar 10 that of the sol
dierS of an army going on strike for higher pay.
There IS an intmation that the companies
which employ the men will try to effect a set
tlement with them through compromise with
out making resort to governmental authority
and prosecuting the men for mutiny. Yet IT Is
not easy to see how the government can avoid
taking direct notice Of the matter. especially
since the strike is avowedly made against the
government itself. Several government en-
ployes in the civil service were recently prose
cuted for joining the General Confederation of
Labor which the government regarded as dis
loyal body although they did not actually go on
strike. The case of these strikers certainly
seems much more aggravated than theirs, and
consistency would therefore require the govern
ment to take action. 1t looks as though fight
to a finish" between Republicanism and Social
ism in France might be near at hand

THE "HONEsT, OFFICEHOLDER

The report is that the Governor will be asked
TO remove Borough President Ahearr, even if
no evidence Of corruption can be found. So he
should be, and it Will be better if the request Is
based on no worse charge than ineffciency. If
ineliciency in office is proved. it will be enough.
We should not make the Penal Code the test
of official conduct. The sooner the public mind
is dlSabused Of the notion that the standard Of
honest graft is a high enough standard to re
quire Of public officials the better it will be for
municipal government The low public standard
is responsible for most maladminstration. So
long as the notion prevails that If an official is
honest-that is. If he commits no crime-he has
done all that may be reasonably expected of
him we shall have TO endure such mismanage-
ment as has gone on under the Borough PFesi-
dent of Manhattan The removal of few Of
fcehOlders for inelllcency would teach the pub
lie 20 expect capable service from its repre-
sentatives.
1t is only natural that the honest graft
standard should have as its correIative the hon
est official" standard. and vice versa. If an
official who is barely honest" is entitled to en-
cpniums and q reelection with an increased ma
jority, graft that is honest is surely respec-
table and self-denying enterprise. If the official
need not fear anything short Of the Penal Code,
why should the politician? If the public is con
tent that its representatives in Office be merely
honest" why should Il resent being robbed in
g strictly honest way by honest graft? The
: Tanlmany system elevates honesty" into the
first of the virtues and measures its honesty"
By its agility in getting through the loopholes

be is NJ 10 be master Of great party or . great

1uies admit that"--as If all the world should
stand agape at the prodigy or the man OF
whom this is said nothing better can generally
be said, and he is usually worthless incompe-
tent who deserves immediate retirement 10 pri-
vate obscurity. II is aprop0s of this TO recall
that the Borough Presidents stock in trade all
through his political life has been his honesty.
Nobody questioned it-and this was an extraor-
dInary distinction i'm Tammany Hall-and no
body now questions his incompetency. The
