REVENGTNG HAZTNG.

The filibuster on the currency bill. which JUST
failed. wears at this distance a SUSPICIOUS re-
semblance to the revenge of the hazed. 1t was
a nersonal exploit with which even the OPP
ponents of the bill had no sympathy. and IT was
moi inspired by any such clear and intense con-
vctions upon currency reform as TO win 'he
sympathy of the rest of the country. The par
ticipants ia it were of the class of new Senators
who rebel against being held up before the na-
ton at the wrong end of the telescope. Mr.

GERN4VY AND MACEDONIA.

Raron Snecs Won Sternburg's brief statement
of the official German view OF the situation VI
affairs in Macedonia, which is puphshed III
.rThe autlook" confirms in the main the 1a'oI
able estimates of German policy which nave
| generally been held by Informed ana uhpreJu
diced observers. The gst or IL Is lhdt 'ne
| efot,,s auo-meaning. of course the sovereignty
| of Macedonia and the relations OF other powers
| to it. and not the aboninable state OF oisoraer
which nreyails there-should he maintained, ana
that whatever is done toward the abatement
| of abuses should be done with the concerted as
sent of all the great powers. Accordingly ter
many heartily approves the Austro-hungarlan
railroad plans in the SandJak or NOW bazar,
because precisely such work was contemplated
and sanctioned in advance by the powers AT the
Berlin congress, and 1t is therefore to be re
garded as a part of the authorized ana estao-
iished order.
ITpop lust one point some will take issue with
the German Ambassador or with the German
government view which he reflects That is.
that Germany regards with some skepticfsm
"the idea of placing the command of the Turk
"ish troops in the hands of Christian officers y
No convincing reason appears why such an ar
rangement should not prove practicable and
efficient. It surely would not be without sue
cessful and gratifying pTecedents. Considerable
armies of Mahometan troops have been placed
under Christian commanders IN various cOuIl-
tries with satisfactory results, and the pre-
sumption is that what has been done elsewhere
in not unlike circumstances could also be done
in Macedonia. This question is not, however, OF
paramount importance. since it does not appear
that Germany's slSepticism would lead her TO
refuse her assent to the making of the expert
ment in case all the other powers should agree
upon it.
What is really most to the point in the whole
matter is the assurance which is doubtless made
and will be received in good faith, that Ger
many has NO .ulterior and sordid motives 10 con
troll her attitude toward Macedonia, but is sim
fairs there which will be in accord with humane
principles and with the equitable interests of
| all the powers concerned. That is the view OF
her policy which we have hitherto held and
which has been strengthened by contemplation
| of Germany's great and growing special inter
| ests in other parts Of the Ottoman Empire and
it is gratifying to have it so authoritatvely con-
| frmed There is, we know, common skep-
ticsn1 regarding the dsinterestedness of official
conduct in international affairs, and there is
even an inclination to assume that all nations
are always selfish ard nsincere in their pol
| icies: but it is easily possible that such views
| are as often unjust AS they are warranted.
| There is no fundamental reason why men should
| not exercise collectively the virtues which We
/ know they possess and exercise individually.

TIE RECORD OF THE SESSION.

The session Of Congress just closed followed
the course usual in sessions held Just on the
eve of a national election. The legislators
then are waiting TO hear from the country, and
for that reason no new or pronounced policy is
likely TO be enacted into law at such time.
National camBa igns settle a great many issues
that are before the public and their results are
seldom anticipated in legislation, but much more
commonly followed. No party desires 10 enter
a campaign a record Of new policies whose
practical effect is uncertain and toward which
the public attitude is doubtful. The result of
this caution in the present session has been the
enactment of few laws making striking changes
"a policy, but of large number OF unsensa-
tionaI but highly useful statutes No such leg
islation as the railroad rate law, for example,
marking step forward in the formation of
nationsl policy upon an important topic, has

EXCISE MODERATIOE

The appointment of an excise commission IN
New Jersey TO which reference has already
been made in these columns, is regarded with a
singular lack of appreciatfve judgment by some
extremists on both sides of the liquor question.
Before il was appointed the commission was
strongly opposed by brewers and others on the
suppostitious ground that il would, as matter
of course be hostile to their interests, and even
now attempts are made 10 ridiCule and discredit
it by picturng il as company of ignorant and
inauisitive "harseeds.' On the other hand. Pro
hibitinnists criticisng it because it contains
no special representative of their faction, but,
on the contrary contains several men who are
closely associated with the principles Of high
license and strict regulation Of the liquor trade.
The error into which both Of these classes of
critics fall is that of imagining that all men are
and must he either "rummies they used 10
call them down in Maine-or sbsolute teetota-
lers and that the only possible choice for com
munitv is that between a wide open town and
.bIre Inws' We must. it is true. recognize the
not unnatural tendency toward extremes in this,
ss in other affairs and we have frequently
pointed out that the persistent and offensive
violation Of reasonable and salutary excise laws

than one state. But matters have scarcely
reached that mitch Vet In New Jersey. There is

Attention fs called 70 the circumstance that
under the new game law in New Jersey IL Is
not necessary to put up notices foroiddins nunt-
ing on private lands, but property owners may
prosecute hunters for trespass, whetner SUCH
notices are displayed not. That Is as IL
should be- A trespasser is no less trespasser
because he invades a place for the purpose OF
killing something. and the fact that he carries a
gun does not make his trampling OF crops and
breaking down of fences bit less offensive.
