The Berlin Mystery.

While it Is customary between nations
to send as diplomatic representatives
only men who are at least negatively
agreeable to the courts to which they are
accredited it Is by no means incumbent
upon the dispatching government to send
only men who are positively agreeable to
the governments near" which they are
to serve. 1t is the right Of government
to declare its unwiilingness to receive o
diplomatic representative from another
power. on the score Of some known fact
of his career some action indicating I'M
he is to be sent or some well understood
faint OF character which may render him
socially impossible. But in the exercise
of this right governments always display
the greatest caution not to overstep the
bounds of courtesy to the ispatching
power Il is assuredIy not within the
province OF the receiving power TO sug
gest who shall be sent to it. or TO init
mate that a proposed minister or ambas-
sador is not quite up to the mark of rep
resenting his government. so long as he
is not positively Objectionable, any lack
of ability on his part. real or imagined.
cannot be limited as a reason for refusing
to receive him.
1t will be highly unfortunate If any such
condition should be proved to exist in
the case of the Berlin diplomatic mystery,
affecting the status of DR.. Hill. AS far
as the public is informed there is no war
rant whatever for Germany's reported
Discrimination TO receive him. Yet the
suggestion has gone forth that the kaiser
does not regard him as sufficiently talent
ed to stand at, Berlin as the representa-
the OF the United States. This hint
should be ignored for the present as sug
gestive of an altogether improba BILE con-
dition. II may be that there has been
a misunderstanding between Ambassador

Gov. Johnson's Announcement.

Gov. johnson cannot be congratulated
on the wishy-washy letter on the subject
of his presidential boom he has written to
the editor of a Swedish newspaper in
Minnesota. And why have made his an
nouncement through such a medium? Why
drag in Sweden? The subject of discus
sion is the presidency of the United States.
We all want a good American for that
ONCE, elected on the strength of his fidel-
ity to American interests. This Swedish
editor Is doubtless an excellent citizen, as
are his Swedish-bor readers. But they
vote as American citizens, and in this
race. as in all races. should be appealed
to as such. The trail of this indirection
is over the whole deliverance.
No man should be an active and open
candidate for the nomination to the presi-
dency." And yet that Is Gov. Johnson 8
real attitude. He is as plainly candidate
for the Denver nomination as Mr. Bryan,
or as Judge Taft, Mr.. Fairbanks, Gov.
Hughes, Mr.. Cannon or Senator Knox is
for the Chicago nomination. So-called
receptivity is either an affectation, or a
piece of hypocrisy. In Gov. Johnson
case we may call 1t an anectation. But
it deceives nobody. Gov. johnson wants
the Denver nomination, and wants it
badly,
I'm no sense am to be a candids'e for
the purpose of defeating Mr.. Bryan, or
any other man." Good, easy gentleman,
his innocence is full upon him. His
candidacy has that complexion, and no
other He is one of the powers in the
anti-Bryan game. His name would
never have been mentioned in connection
with the presidency but for the hope Of
Wall street that 1t could be used to
WEAKEN Mr.. Bryan in the northwest.
But more than this. II Wall street
were to succeed in defeating Mr.. Bryan
at Denver with Gov. Johnson 1t would
probably lose interest in the latter i'm
mediately. He would have served It's
purposes. Its whole object is to put MIR.
Bryan "out of business" That accom-
plished, it would draw a long sigh of re-
lief, and either take no futher interest In
the years contest, or support the Chicago
nominee, even If Mr. Roosevelt should be
the man.
Gov Johnson should took little further
into matters. His boom is as strongly
anti-Bryan as his eastern supporters can
make 1t, and largely. IL not only, for the
purpose OF defeating Mr.. Bryan at Den.
yer. Mr.. Bryan and his friends see the
play, and were 1t to win Gov. Johnson s
candidacy would be cut to the quick. as
Judge Parker's was, in every Bryan
stronghold in the country.
