Wall Cup Oh al'enge
Match For + oday

Yesterday afternoon on the Bere-
tania courts the much talked OF
match between Castle and Low was
played of. and after four sets had
been fought out 1t sas found that
Castle had captured three.
The first set went to Castle, 6-2,
and he also captured the second in
rather easy fashion, his opponent
My getting three games. The third
set was surprise. as Low, playing
In excellent form, captured it to
four comes. Low showed his best
form during this match and made
some fine strokes; his serve was
particularly fine and some of his
smashes were simply unplayablc.
However. In the fourth set Castle
again showed what he could do, aud,
playing In faIltless style. took the
set CO.. Low hardly played up to
his usual form. and seemed to be
bothered lot by the wet, slippery
court.
Castle. by defeating Low. has
earned the right to challenge Gee
for the Wall cup. and should the
latest aspirant for tennis honors
win there will be then three names
en- the cup-Warren, Gee and Cas-
tie.
Castle Is playing at about his top
now. and Gee will have to show his
very best form to defeat the Var
sity man. The match between them
this afternoon should provide some
| very fine tennis, and n big crowd is
sure to attend at the courts ia

Gee Is strong player, although
he lacks little finish tin his

BETTER SOUTHERN APPOINTMENTS.

The desire Of President-elect Taft TO do
away with the referee system" of appoint

been hailed by the people Of those states as
an indication that they 10 be treated here

of the Union are treated. So far as exercising

OF course the administration has been only

HATRED AS An ASSET.

A phrase in our London correspondents spe-
ciaI cable letter on Sunday suggested what is
perhaps the most noteworthy, and certainly
most gratifying and auspicious, change in Eu-
ropean diplomatic relations in recent years.
That IS the decline, If not the disappearance. Of
hatred or i'll will an asset in international
affairs. There can be no doubt that such an as
set was formerly much used and highly priced.
Balance of power was long largely based upon
ieaousieS and animOSities. More than one
country felt itself secure because its enemies
We're also, and perhaps TO still greater de-
gree. enemies of each other, and therefore would
not unite against il. One of the latest and
greatest exemplars Of that policy was Prince
Bismarck During the years when he was ex-
plotting German interests at the supposed eX-
pense of Great Britain and France he was at
least suspected Of deliberately fomenting dis
trust and antagonism between those powers in
order to deter them from cooperating against his
own schemes and he seemed to be for a time
highly successful. At that and also in more re-
cent period a similar, though byno means an iden-
teal policy prevailed in Great Britain. There Is
no suggestion that the government of that
country sought TO create or TO encourage i'll
will between its neighbors 1t is certain that.
because of the notorious i'll will between France
and Germany it felt reasonably secure from
an attack by either and entirely secure from an
attack by both.
A logical corollary to that savage proposition
was that friendship between two countries was
grievance TO others, and was q sufficient cause
for their resentment. That "oId-fash1oned
notion as 81 n. F. calls it, has persisted to
a recent date and has extended far outside OF
the European circle. 1t has been strongly I'M
pressed upon us in our own diplomatic rela-
tionships. Love me, love my dog" has been
made rule of international society, and So
too has the converse. The fact that America
was cultivating friendship with any country
was regarded as making IL incumbent upon
her to be friendly to that country's friends and
hostile TO its foes. Against that idea we have
always protested. and It has been profoundly
gratifying 10 observe its consistent and reso-
lutte reputation by our government. Perhaps
in this, more than in anything else, this country
has fulfilled the spirit of the early admonitiqn
against "entangling alliances" IL that phrase
means anything it means precisely what we
have just described. it means an alliance
which would bind to adopt as our own our
ally's loves and hates.
Since the famous episode Of dropping the
pilot" the German government has progress
sively relnquished that phase of the Bismarck
ian policy. Emperor William II himself never
approved il. In all his restless and aggressive
diplomacy the spirit of lago has had no place

SENATOR CR4DY ON BOSSES.

Senator Grady does not feel that he has done
his duty as n legislator unless he warns the
people Of the state against the insidious peril OF

INVESTIGATING THE MAINE.

1t is announced that Congress is about to pro-
vide for the appointment of a committee "to in
"vestgate every phase Of the raising of the wreck
''of the Maine" including the international as
poets" of the case, and also "the question of en-
'barassing discoveries which might accrue in
"the event that the raised wreck should offer
positive proof that the ship was sunk by an
internal and not an external explosion" Any
direct and reasonable step toward Kidding this
nation Of reproach for neglecting that wreck
should be gratefully welcomed, but we are by
no means sure that the appointment of this
commission would be such a step, even though
lit is intmated" that upon receipt of the COM
missions report Congress will appropriate the
money for the raising Of the wreck. In any
case the proposed plan would mean long delay
of work which has already been delayed ten
years too long, and every days further post
ponement of which deepens the national dis
credit. In addition, any such Investigation"
as that proposed would seem to be about as
superfuous, If not impertinent, as anything
which could easily be devised.
What international aspects OF the case are
there? Nobody is concerned with it but Cuba
and America. Cuba has again and again let us
know that she would like to have the wreck
raised and removed In order to get rid of a
serious obstruction of Havana Harbor, and
that she would have done the work herself long
ago. as she would have every moral right to do
had she not been constrained by q finer sense
of courtesy toward America than America had
shown toward her. As for ourselves, we have
free permission and undoubted right to go in
and remove the wreck and the dead bodies
which it contains.
AS for the question of embarrassing dis
coveTies," the very raising of 1t comes un-
pleasantly near TO being an affront TO this
government and nation. 1t would be indecent

for fear that it might be found that the ex-
plosion was not external but internal as indeed
some persons have all along suspected it was.
II would be insulting TO intimate that fear Of
the truth should restrain US from letting the
whole truth be known. If there is reason TO
think that raising the wreck would prove that
the explosion was internal, and that, therefore,
the suspicious and accusations of external con-
spiracy and malice were unfounded, we should
