ON TO DENVER.

There is no occasion to speculate as to why
the Democratic National Convention is going 10
Denver. Its choice throws no lght on any
hody's boom and signifies the dominance OF no
element in the party over any other. The ma
tiopal committee thought only of the SlOoooo
gold offered as an inducement by the ROCKY
Mountain city, and set its face firmly ana
sternIy against the SeductionS OF Chlcago
bathtubs and of Lousville's mint juleps
1t is not Il pad selection The convention
comes late. July = when the weather is usually
hot and the climate is likely to be better in
Denver than in any other city that might have
heen chosen. The city is said to have good
hotels and while the equipment in this respect
does not equal that of Chicago the remoteness
of Denver from the more pOpulous part ot the
country will undoubtedly cut down the attend
ance at the convention, and. as thls itseii Is
fairly certain to be a cut and dried afalr, WIN
foregone conclusion Denver will probably be
amplv able to take care of all the crowds likely
to present themselves
Colorado is further west than either OF the
great parties has gone hitherto TO hold ma
tional convention With the exception of the
Democratic convention in 1900 at Kansas CITY
and the Republican in 1892 at Minneapolis no
great political gatherings have ever convened
beyond the banks of the Mississippi River
The citv lies at the foot of the Rocky Noun
tans view of whose grandeur may be mad
from within it The scenery should prove an
inspiration to Democratic eloquence. but IT is
hardly to be expected that it will fill the party
with new ideals and new policies The pious
wish is expressed by those who regard Bryan
ism as Il hectic symptom that the salubrious air
and magnificent surroundings will give the
marty new life But the Democracy does not go
10 Denver as health resort. Its lungs are its
soundest part. Ii it were really conscious
invalid seeking ''cure" suited to its affiiction
it would have gone rather TO Battle Greek.

do,b+ tbev have diminished; but it is Sc
rious Question whether the inclusion OF ali
such matters in the category or arDlLrdoie vi
adiudicable cases might not lead to an increase
in their number Whatever the Cenual amer
;can states NAV decide to try and with wnat-
ever success they may practise it, this nation
and other nations will probably hesitate long
before committing themselves to the supmis-
sion Of all conceivable questions to an amen
tribunal.
Still another feature of the treaty, unusuai IL
NOT UNIQUE is the provision that an lndiFiuudl
citizen of one country may INSTITUTE sun
AGAINST the government of another country,
and may do so without the support or pernis-
sion of his own government. mat afrans
ment may work well in Central Amerlca-t Is
to he hoped that it will-but we must greatly
doubt if jursts and diplomats of other coun-
tries generally would deem it prudent to adopt
that rule in an international high court OF JUS
tice II has long been an established prlnclpie
that an individual belonging to one couiitr!
may seek redress or other legal Satisfaction
from the government of another country elther
through appeal TO the courts of that country OF
through the diplomatic offices Of his own coun-
try. The plan OF letting him bring suit directly
through an international tribunal marks an IN
teresting advance which may or may not De
rr,dent 1t is quite conceivable that IN gen
eral practice it would lead to an almost III
ter1ninable multiplication of suits, many or
them of a trifling and unworthy character
We must doubt, therefore. whether TINS Cen
tral American plan will be. as some suggest
adopted as the basis of a universal high court
of Justice al The Hague. although undoubtediE

New-York tribune., 1907-12-14
THE CENTRAL AMERICAN COMPACT.

The first feature of interest of the pending
treaty among the Central American states is
that it does not provide for anything like
federal union of them. nor even incline IN that
direction. Its apparent intent is that the hVe
shall remain entirely separate and Independent
sovereignties This will be little surprising
and perhaps disappointing to some who have
expected that another union would be effected
and who on plausible grounds, have regarded
that as the most hopeful course which could
be pursued by those republics. There are Sc
rious arguments on both sides OF that ques-
tiop and of course the decision rests with the
five states and with them alone. 1t may be
in measure the concern of the United States
and Mexico whether they remain at peace or
relapse into chronic warfare but 1t is nobody's
concern but their own whether they remain
five or become There was nothing in the
protocol preliminary to this treaty which ind-
Gated even contemplation of union, and there Is
nothing in the treaty which would act as bar
to union in future should the states desire it
The second noteworthy point is the character
of the proposed international tribunal. 1t is
In be judicial, not arbitral. We discussed in
This place the distinction between the two sys-
TENS and the reasons for preferring the one
to the other, when the plan for a high court of
Justice was under consideration at The Hague
Apparently the Central American tribunal is
TO be as indeed it is named. court Of justice,
which is not merely to arbitrate differences
which generally means to compromise them and
To give to one party little more and to the
other a little less than it deserves-but is 10
hear and determine them according to prin-
ciples Of law. There is reason to regard such
an arrangement among those states with pecul-
lar hopefulness, because Of the substantial
identity of principles and practices of jurispru
dence among them. One of the chief obstacles
to the establishment of such a tribunal between
Anglo-Saxon and Latin nations has been the
radical difference in their theories Of law and
legal procedure But in that respect the five
Central American states are in complete accord.
A third point of interest is the sweeping
range of the courts jurisdiction. 1t is to deal
with all controversies questions, of what
ever nature or origin, which cannot be settled
by the ordinary methods of diplomacy. There
is no reservation of matters affecting the honor
or integrity of the nations 1t will be recalled
that some of the South American states have
made arbitration treaties similarly void of such
reservations. That again may be more fitting
there than elsewhere because of the compara
lively homogeneous character of the states in
question. There will also be those who will
observe that, as they think, the number and
frequency of controversies affecting national
honor aud integrity, and the likelihood of their
arising are diminishing TO such extent
to deserve to be regarded as negligible. No

PAY AND PROSPECTS AT PANAMA.

From time to time hostile critics of the
Panama Canal administration rail at the sala-
ries paid to some Of the employees of the COM
mission as extravagant They point, for ex-
ample, to the fact that stenographers are re-
ceiying s., 500 year, while it requires only
glance at many columns of situations
Wanted" advertisements to demonstrate that
the New York market is glutted with expert"
stenographers and typewriters who are eager to
work at from IS to $40 week At the same
dine it is frequently reported that an incoming
steamer from Colon has brought home a num-
Der of canal employees, most Of whom do not
intend TO return TO the isthmus. Between the
criticism and the news there appears to be
something of discrepancy. For we can
scarcely suppose that men would be voluntarily
deserving a place where they received SO much
higher salaries than they could get elsewhere
unless there were some strong reason for their
SO doing: and ordinary understanding OF hu-
man nature forbids the supposition that these
homecoming employees or ex-employes have al
ready amassed from their salaries fortunes suf-
fjcient to satisfy all ambition.
Light is thrown upon this apparent mystery
which however, is mystery to those alone
who are ignorant or inconsiderate Of isthman
condltions-by a writer in The Canal Rec
ord" in the course of detailed comparison of
conditions OF employment the isthmus and
al Washington. he admits that salaries are
higher at Panama than at Washington or else
where in the United States. but explains that
it is only by paying high salaries that the
commission can secure and retain competent
employees. And that is because of the inevitable
conditions Of employment down there. 1t is
not that Panama is an unhealthful place, for
it is not II is not only that life there entails
many sacrifices in its separation and remote
isolation from the social environments of home.
That can be endured. But the practical point
is that service at Panama is temporary. that
IL offers little II any prospect Of advancement
and that 1t impairs If not destroys prospects
q advancement on return to the United States.

AMERICAN STUDENTS ABROAD.

Recent statistics from various German uni
versities showing the number OF Americans
studying there must be causing audible sat
sfacton in many faculty meetings throughout
this country. 1t is reported that relatively
fewer Americans than ever before tsince our
countrymen first turned to Germany FOR
higher educationl are now enrolled in the insti-
tutions of the empire. AT Berlin, which natu-
rally attracts the largest number because of its
position and its huge faculty of distinguished
men. there are to-day only sixtye eight men and
twenty-seven women owing allegiance to Uncle
Sam These figures become startlngy signih-
cant when compared with the statistics OF pre-
viorls years. In 1904 there were about two
hundred and fifty Americans going to lectures
in Berlin, while in 1897 there were over four
hundred At once favorite Heidelberg the
American delegation has dropped during the
last decade from over one hundred to mere
handful, while at G0ttingen, Jena, Halle and
the other smaller universities Yankees are
about as rare as Japanese. Another equally
important fact not dilated upon in the Of
fetal statistics, is the greater relative de-
crease in the number Of American students
taking degrees From observations made by
persons now attending German universities and
others who have been enrolled in recent years,
it is safe to say that Germany has ceased to
be conspcuously place whittier young Amer
leans go to be educated. The overwhelming
majority of the rapidly dwindling contingent
sit on Teutonic benches either for the sake of
one or two particular advanced courses or else
in order to become familiar with German
idioms and customs. The famous seats Of
learning have become for our countrymen,
finishing schools" for d few specialists and
persons in search Of cosmopolitan culture.
This turn Of affairs has double significance.
1t shows that American universities have at
tanned independence, being now competent to
offer students practically any subjects taught
abroad. incidentally it discloses the effect Of
the policy which scores Of American professors
have long been following in advising students
to take their higher degrees at some American
school and to spend only short time in Eu-
rope simply for cultures sake. The German
statistics harmonic with what is known about
the changed attitude of Americans toward the
acquisition of cosmopolitan culture. The feeling
has long been abroad that a few summers in
Europe will teach an intelligent observer all
the more important things which the Old
World still has a monopoly. With eminent
French, German, English and even Russian
professors lecturng in our colleges and cities,
with the best European musicians playing in
our concert halls, and with many swift
liners offering cheap transportation to Europe
in the summer, the man Of ordinary ambitions
has little excuse for spending several years In
foreign schools.
