The United States and Mexico.

This government is not disposed at
present to press the issue against Mexico
saised by the recent note from the State
Department and the reply subsequently
received from Minister Calero. This is no
time for futile discussion Of Mexican
official responsibility for conditions in the
troubled parts of the republic. If the
United States regards its warning as ig-
nored and American citizens are injured
and their property destroyed, 1t will prob
ably proceed without further parley to
demonstrate to the government at the City
nf Mexico that it has not abated In the
least from its position. The disclaimer by
aladcro's government of responsibility
alor conditions in the insursent provinces
: nv no means settles the question. That
government is still the agent OF admins
tration in Mexico and the United States
bias recognized no bclligerency south OF
.tbe Rio Grande. Having served notice
thc United States can only wait for such
happenings may come. 1t is to be
hoped that nothing will arise to call for
Intervention.

Friction With Mexico.
From the New York Sun.

The message conveyed to Gen.
Orozco by Mr. Letcher, the American
consul at Chihuahua, has reduced the
rebel chief to a state of submission, how
ever he thinks better now of fouting
the consul and meddling with his pre-
negatives In diplomacy it may be diff
cult to justify commerce with Orozco over
the head Of the federal government, but
conditions in Mexico are anomalous and
the end attained justified the means en-
ployed. Also the note Of April II may
have been wanting in tact. and the terms
used were not always clear and precise.
Perhaps the ground taken could not be
entirely justified by presidents Of in
ternational law; but again 1t can be main
tained that the conditions the Mexican
government finds itself In are anomalous
and to the United States they are dis
turbing. 1t is a case for not being very
nice about conformity to the letter of
International law. There will be no breach
between the two countries because they
elect to differ about its principles or
their application. II unhappily interven-
ton should become necessary it will be
because Of outrages committed by the in
surgents in the field. A stern warning
to them 10 not diplomacy Of the old
school. but 1t has been effective and SAL
utary.

Bryan and Harmon.

Mr.. Bryan and Gov. Harmon have come
to close grips. The latter has been to
Nebraska and advised the democrats not
to send Mr.. Bryan as q delegate to Bal
timore. while the former is now in Ohio
advising against instructions for Gov.
Harmon for President. Let us all hope
that the advice OF neither may be taken.
Baltimore without Mr. Bryan would
not be tame. but would be robbed Of a
man Of commanding national interest.
The democracy 10 Of right in high
feather. Success in November Is in the
every section Of the country will gather
in confident expectation that the nominee
Of the convention will be the next Presi-
dent OF the United States.
Now what democrat has done SO much
to produce this spirit as Mr.. Bryan? He
has led the party for sixteen years. and
In that time changed the views not only
Of many democrats. but Of some republic
cans. Woodrow Wilson IL conspicuous

dore Roosevelt a conspicuous one on the

folly but an injustice to deny to Mr..
Bryan q commission to attend a meeting
where his teachings and influence will
be % much in evidence.
Equally strong are Gov. Harmons
claims on the support Of his party friends
at home. After 1t is granted that his in

A National Affection.

SsVWith the arrival Of the Carpathia al
her dock in New York last night came
.ttht final proof OF the appalling disaster
at sea last Monday morning. There was
little room TO doubt the nature and the
extent OF the catastrophe of the Titanic s
lnse. but the hope still remained that she
might bring some of those for whose
r>sfety the entire nation was praying
The ship of succor brought fewer sur
. viyors of the wreck than the earlier re-
ports indicated. and now the full mag
lbitude of the horror is realized and the
country stands in mourning for those
= Eho have been taken by the sea.
'rrThere is one alternating fact In this
dread story Of loss and sudden death.
Throughout the terrors of the night. dur
/, ing the pitifully few hours that the
great ship remained ahoat after she had
received her death blow. there was dis
-aefplne on board and the men of note as
-sye!l as the men in humble stations in
life bore themselves with heroism. 1t is
perhaps but small comfort to reflect that
those who were sacrificed died nobly.
II is impossible to forget that their lives
We're in truth wasted. that the ship was
Eunk. not because OF unavoidable cir
9 rumstances. but through the inordinate
demand for speed that now animates
those who control the management Of the
great transatlantic lines.
= The stories that are told by survivors
brought in by the Carpathia are replete
with instances Of the individual behavior
~of men whose names are known to the
people of both hemispheres. men high in
various stations of life. men Of influence.
of great power, of great wealth. who in
that hour OF peril took their places In
the ranks and strove with the ships
officers to maintain that supreme tradi-
-tion of humanity which gives frst place
IN rescue TO the weak and helpless, to
the women and the children. No pen can
do justice to such situation. 1t is be-
: Aond description. beyond adequate praise.
~<And II is only narrowing to dwell upon
= the terrible temptations which doubtless
.eeset- every one of those who put aside
his own opportunity for rescue in order
that others might be saved.
There have been, Of course, great disas-
tiers at sea before, In which all that has
Happened in this case was repeated@ on
some misunderstanding farewells be-
tween those of closest relationship. the
separation of parents and children In the
darkness and the confusion the widow
ing of women and the orphaning Of chill
dren. But none has been on such scale,
IN such awful circumstances.
; There Is some comfort in the reflection
that in this great sorrow Of those who
have been bereayed by the loss Of the
Titanic there is a universal sympathy.
The American millions have accepted this
Sas personal individual grief. as some
thing close and intimate They regard 1t.
not as a spectacle. but as an affiction,
and in this hour there is less thought
as TO the responsibility for what seems
with such awful plainness to be a wan
ton. needless sacrifice than grief for the
lost and pity for the saved.

Johnny's Return.

When Johnny comes marching home from
school
month or so from now
He will assume a naughty rule
With laurels on his brow;
He'll tell us all that we ought to know
And whistle the latest air
And mimic the man in the music show
And inform us what to wear.
Although with Grecian classic lore
And the songs that the Romans sang
He may forbear our ears to bore
He will give us the newest slang.
We have waited sadly for his return
Since he set out to roam
And we'll sit at his feet and gladly learn
When Johnny comes marching home.

The Men of WASHINGTON.

Though desolated by the losses which it
has suffered in the Titanic horror,
Washington feels proud Of the record OF
its men who were among the passengers
! on that ship. Every man bore himself
like q hero. Three were lost and one was
saved, and II is due to all to note their
work and the manner Of their passing and
their salvation. Details are not clear in
all cases. but enough appears in the
reports to show that Maj. Butt, Mr..
Millet and Mr.. Moore accepted their fate
| bravely, and strove to the utmost to give
the first chances for life to the women,
the children and the aged and infrm.
Like men they met the death that spared
none on account Of wealth or rank or
power.
1t would have been dificult to take
from this community three men with so
extensive an acquaintance, with so many
warm friends, and with such high per-
sonal prestige as those who were lost ON
the Titanic. Each had distinguished him
self in some walk Of life. Mr.. Moore was
a man of marked business ability. though
the possession of large means enabled
him to relax from the stress Of active
endeavors. He gave pleasure to q wide
circle, was a liberal contributor to every
public need, bore himself cleanly and up
rightly In the sight OF men. and held
true to high standards Of life.
Mr.. Millet had gained fame in the
world Of art AZ both painter OF unusual
talents and as . writer. His genial ma
ture, his keen wit, his warm heart and
hts lofty ideals Of life made him one OF
washington's most warmly appreciated
citizens.
Mai. Butt occupied an exceptional posi-
ton in the capital. Placed In a position
where he might easily have made enc
mics, by reason Of his official require
ments, he made and held friends. Few
men possess the lovable qualities with
which he was endowed. In his last hour
he stood stanch and was the soldier to
the end, taking his orders from the cap
tain Of the doomed ship and assisting in
the maintenance Of order In the terrible
darkness Of the sea.
These three men are gone, honored and
mourned by thousands who knew them
and appreciated their qualities. The sea
has their bodies and no interment rites
can be performed for them, but the
city which numbered them among its
dwellers now pays tribute to them for
the way in which they had lived and
the manner in which they met death.
Col. Oracle alone Of the capitals con-
tingent on board the vessel was saved,
apd I'm circumstances to bring him the
highest credit. Putting aside the chance
for position in the boat he went down
with the ship and had the fortune to
rise to the surface and to make his way
to a raft Of wreckage. His story Of the
experience reveals the horror Of the dis
aster most graphically. He has passed
through terrible experience, but will be
comforted by the knowledge that his fell
low-citizens are proud that he bore him
self so courageously and steadfastly
through the crisis.
