CASTRO MUST APOLOGIZE.
Otherwise He Will Not be Allowed to
Visit France,

Paris.--If President Castro of Ven
ezuela comes to Bordeaux he will not
be allowed to set foot on French soil
until after he has offered a formal
apology for the fashion in which he
f,outed France. This decision was
made by the cabinet, but was kept Sc
cret, as it was suspected that Castro
would disembark at Satander, Spain,
and because his physical condition
may be such that humane motives
might render immediate care at a
aospital imperative; but should he ar
rive at Bordeaux and his Illness not
be serious, the cabinet has determined
that some signal redress must be ex-
acted from the Venezuelan president

ON A STRIKE.

A curious condition of affairs has de-
veloped in Germany. Because a MEM
Der Of the Reichstag alluded to the
members Of the reporters gallery as
"a lot of pfggish Iouts." or something
of the kind. all the daily newspapers
have resolved not to print any more
of the speeches of that body until the
offensive eplthet has been retracted or
apoligized for. One of the conse-
quences Of this resolution on the part
Of the press was that on the day when
that resolution took effect ten or twelve
of the members refused to make
speeches. They realized that to make
a speech which would not be published
would be a death blow to their popu-
tarity and prestige. SO they declined
TO talk unless their speeches could he
spread abroad for the edifcation and
delectation Of the dear people. They
had no wish or intention that their
words of wondrous length and thun-
dering sound" their sonorous sem
fences and their world enlightenine
thoughts should be wasted on the des-
ert air Of the legislative hall.
So It seems that even the phlegmatte
Germans realize the power of the press
and the advantage of publicity. and
show their recognition by silence. But
only suppose-if the human mind u
capable OF such a wonderful fight of
lmagination-that all the daily papers
of this country should refuse to print
Of our Congress. Then put a still
greater strain on the brain and imag
ine The Congressional Record out Of
business; is 1t not probable that Con-
gress would adjourn sine die in about
torty-eight hours? We can conceive of
no other result The American states

he wants his words to get to his con

As an example Of hero-worship and

An evidence Of a growing sentiment

In times of peril men are torce1 i ,,r,o

10 our nation, compared TO which some
other perilous times sink into inslg-
uificance. why should Theodore Roose-
Welt escape while common men are
obliged to risk their lives for their
By ali means let him be drafted.
In the first place, we do not believe
that drafting or CONSUMPTION will be
necessary to induce him to remain In
ONCE or to endeavor to retain If it the
nomination is offered him. Such gross
aattery on the part of sycophantie ad-
rnirers as the above has so fllled him
with a sense of his own Importance
that we really believe he has come to
the conclusion that "the Nation" will
20 down to ruin unless he holds the
reins ana bosses the Government.
We confess that we do not know
what grave perils are threatening the
existence Of the Republic that only
Theodore Roosevelt can contend
against with hope of success. We can
not foresee any worse troubles than
have occurred while he has been in
ONCE and which he has done so little
TO alleviate. AS a matter of fact, we
suspect that this writer. like many
other Republicans, anticipates grave
peril for the party and the office hold
ers unless Roosevelt remains in power.
That is the danger they apprehend.
They feel that If he is again elected
they will be safe, but that another in
his place might have friends of his
own to reward and enemies to punish.
That is the peril they foresee, but the
talk Of drafting is absurd.
The plain intimation from the writer
Of this letter that Mr.. Roosevelt is the
only man that can save the country
from the grave perils threatening It
whatever they may be-is grave re-
Election on the many good and able
men OF both the great parties. The
Republic must be indeed in dire straits
if there is but one man who can save
1t. and that man Theodore Roosevelt.
If that is its condition we think it is
hardly worth saving.
