Would the Unite0 States Enter
European Congress

EuIoPCon \OukECSS
The United States did not participate
in the Berlin congress Of 1878, and was
not a party to the treaty which was
the outcome Of it's deliberations. Why
then should it, take part in a congress
called for the purpose of revising the
agreement made thirty years agoH
It might suffice in the eyes Of jingoes
to reply that times have changed ma
terially In the interval and that the po-
stion of, the United States in world poll
tics has been revolutionized. There is
something moro to be said on the same
side. Since the result Of our war with
Spain made us Q colonial and q Far
Eastern Power, We have taken part
under certain restrictions in the AL
geciras conference, although we had q
much weaker motive for doing so than
we might have alleged for joining the
Berlin congress. Our trade with No
rocco is practically negligible. and our
sole pretext for appearing at Algeciras
was to promote the protection Of the
lives and property Of such very few
American citizens as might happen to
be sojourning in that country. Our
trade, on the other hand, with the Otto
man Empire has been and is consider
able, and In the seaports Of Asia Minor
and Syria, in the highlands of Armenia
and In other parts Of Turkey many hun
dreds Of our fellow citizens are engaged
in missionary work or commerce. They
have been repeatedly in the past and
may at any moment In the future be
exposed to imminent peril. We had in
fact no reason at all for appearing at
Algeciras compared with that which
might be adduced in favor Of our par
ticipation in a congress charged with
regulating some sections il not the whole
of the Ottoman dominion.
But why, it may be asked, should
we not 60 on with Turkey as we have
always gone, protecting our citizens
against pecuniary damage or corporal
injury by means Of individual treaties
concluded between the United States
and the Porte and enforced, when
threatened with inftaction, by American
warshipsi That Is the way, also, in
which for at least a century, up to the
entrance Of our representatives into
the Algeciras conference, we dealt with
Morocco and other Barbary States,
and although occasionally our citi-
zeAs were victims Of wrongs in those
barbarous communities, we usually
managed to get satisfaction. We need
not say that Turkey, with her innu-
merable seaports and with her capital
Itself approachabic, 10 peculiarly ez-
posed to coercion at the hands OF Ameri-
can battleehips. Our conclusion IL that
there was no adequate excuse for our
presence at Algeciras and that there
win be mono for our participation In
the coming European congress except
IN one contingency. !,

The secret of Indiana.

For many years, humbly but with
constant ardor, we have raiped roses
upon Indiana, the mother Of literature,
the well Of art, the temple OF all tho
graoes and the geniuses from BYRON EL-
MORE down to JEREMIAH. BEvERIpaE.
Some natural tears we must shed, then,
when. the NeDs Of indianapolis, that
marvel OF the Western World, shovels
anecdotes like this:
"A man from this town. having large financial
interests in New York. declined dinner while
there from New York hnsneier. on the ground
that he was going 10 hear the 'Meistersinger'
that evening. 'Meistersinserr asked the New
York multimilllonaire. whats thatt The man
from this Western Prairie Dog City looked at him

lam"
We repeat this story for the benefit
of those who haven't heard it; and add
Of our own motion that the musical
rebuker was the, Hon. THOMAS TAG
CART. But why throw these things in
the face of a struggling hamlet like
this? New York is doing the best It
knows, and has large Indiana neigh
borhood settlement. II any reorinfna-
tions are needed call on the politicians.
It's for Indiana to teach the Manhattan
barbarians by her lofty example, by her
fun orbed civilization, by her idyllio
tenderness. The columns Of the Indi-
annapolis Neipa tell us that these are
happy days, that this is the season Of
the pie supper in every rural school
district, The girls proclaim the feast
and bake the pies Of every kind and
style. There Is an art pie exhibition in
every district, and the pies are sold at
auction. Here romance cuddles UP by
