his charges of crooked business Of
the worst sort in Albany city and
county," but Justice Andrews ruled
that Col. Roosevelt might go into that
part of the Balm report dealing with
alleged crookedness in connection
with the state printing.
Before court opened Attorney WINS,
counsel for Barnes, was asked how
long the trial would last and he re-
piled, only God Almighty and his
lieutenant Theodore Roosevelt know"
The Balm report alleged that Barnes
is the owner of the Albany Journal,
interested in another paper, and levied
tribute from the only printing estab-
lishment In the capital. The Barnes
newspaper was made the state paper.
The paper during the period covered
by the investigation took sS5,254 from
the city of Albany and $15O,00O from
the state of New York.
This latter was double charge
says the report.
The report accused Barnes of being
the most conspicuous example Of the
corrupt boss in New York and de.
manded that the senate do something
to break up the printing ring"
1t declared that BarnesS paper re-
ceived money from the Albany Argus
in return for printing contracts.
Printers bidding for contracts, the
report said, had to pay Barnes from
Is to Is per cent of the amounts of
their contracts.

is a strong. and, in many respects q
sound statement OF the present issue be-
tween this country and Germany.
The Sun goes with it up to certain
point. There is, in our opinion. some
thing which ought to be said, and which
is not said by our correspondent. respect
ing the German position that our neutral
rights under the common law Of the high
seas and our neutral rights under our
special treaty with Prussia are subject to
modification or even to outrage because
Germany has developed into first rate
military usefulness new methods of mar
thine warfare.
We should say that if there is to be a
modification or change anywhere it
should be in the application Of the new
rights.
If anything is to await the termination
Of the war for settlement and establish
ment it should be the innovations Of SUBJ
marine attack attempted by the German
naval administration. not the confirma-
ton of the rights which were unques-
toned until after the war began. This
Is fixed general principle of interna-
tional law. If it were not a fixed princi-
pie all international agreements to make
war as little dreadful as possible to neu-
trails and innocent non-combatants would
be blown to pieces by the opening gun.
AS for calling Congress together. there
is time for that. Let US remember that
the constitutional function of the Con-
gress with regard to war, in advance Of
war. Is the declaration Of war.

The British Cabinet Pool.
Boston Journal.)

(bOStOn Journal
The British coalition cabinet is in
one respect unlike any other-its
members. excepting the prime minis
ter. pool their salaries and then
share equally the total amount. This
turning Of all the emoluments into
common fund may be- laudable in
principle, though it produces some
curious results in practice. 1t GER
tainly puts any idea Of party favorit-
ism out Of the question the Liberal.
Unionist, Labor and Independent
members being paid exactly alike,
though the statutory salaries Of their
respective offices differ
AS these salaries range from s10,-
600 up to $4,000 a year. the leveling
process involves both large decreases
and large increases. The total amount
Of the fund being s424.60O. the share
for each Of the 20 members is s2l, 230.
Consequently each of the nine men,
bers whose official salaries are 5000
have to endure a reduction of 1910.
Mr.. Balfour loses only $3.50, the reg
ular salary of the first lord of the
admiralty being sa2,500. Mr.. Birrell
loses still less. just 1895, his customary
salary as Irish secretary being $22,125.

American Feeling About the German
Note
New York Evening Post.)

(New York Evening Post.)
Comments by the German press so
far as sent by cable, on the reply OF the
German government to President Will
sons protests are all Of one mould.
They praise their government for its
firm refusal to surrender single
German position. Equally OF one mind
are the American newspapers. AS by
a single voice they express disappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction with the COM
munication from the German foreign
minister, declare that the President
cannot recede, and offer him hearty
and non-partisan support in maintain
ing American rights and dignities.
Thus it would appear that the Fourth
Estate in the two countries is as much
at variance as their governments. Yet
on neither side is there a pronounced
spirit of belligerency. A deadlock is ad-
mitted on the main point at issue, yet
there plainly persists the hope, open
or tacit, that a solution OF the crisis
may be found without a rupture be-
tween Germany and the United States
We believe that a majority Of the peo-
pie in both nations sincerely desire
that peace may not be broken.

Herr Won Jagow's suggestion OF a
method by which the United States
may carry on limited amount of
commerce in the so-called German
war zone, subject to the forbearance
of the war lords who direct the Ger
man submarines, while interesting and.
in way, enlightening, is of course
inadmissible. We do not hold our sea
rights subject to anybodys supervis-
ion. We are not likely to surrender
any of those rights to a nation that
does rot have a single dreadnought or
cruiser on the ocean and whose boast
ed sea power is now exerted only by
the methods of the footpad and the
blackhander.
Whatever may be thought or said OF
this note, it is always to be remem-
bered that actions speak louder than
words. For the present we should say
that Germany is to be judged more
by its deeds than by its diplomacy. 1t
has not been sinking any American
ships Of late. 1t has not been sinking
without warning any enemy ships
having Americans on board. 1t has not
assailed any more transatlantic liners.
While these conditions obtain. notes
like that now under discussion may
irritate or exasperate, but they need
not necessarily lead to a rupture. To
discontinue national wrongdoing is
one thing To apologize for it, even to
a friend. in the presence Of people
Infatuated by suffering and inflamed
by falsehood, is another. We shall
have to address the Germans again in
language even more forcible than that
already used.

Nothing could better illustrate the
total incapacity of the Democratic
party for government than this analy-
sis of the personnel Of the ways and
means committee. Lawyers have
nothing to do with business except give
advice on legal questions, prepare ar
ticles of Incorporation, draw contacts
or leases, and prosecute or defend
when litigation is necessary. Not
withstanding this the Democratic
party entrusted to lawyers-and law.
yers only-the preparation of sched-
ules which vitality affected every BUST
ness interest in the country. Is it any
wonder that the law proved a failure,
that 1t wrecked prosperity, ana Gre
ated havoc in practically every line of
industry? 1t could not be otherwise.
Even its language was so inaccurate or
uncertain that the administration and
the courts have difficulty in constituting
its provisions.
If the Democratic party were wise
which it is not; if it comprehended the
necessities of national welfare. which
it does not, it would have realized that
in making radical change in the
tariff it was playing with edged tools.
1t would. therefore, have entrusted the
delicate task Of men who at least knew
something of the work they were
called upon to perform.
But the Democratic party never yet
possessed wisdom. 1t has never yet
been competent enough to profit by
the opportunities which the people
have placed in it's hands. 1t has blum
dered and stumbled at every step. And
the tariff bill which a dozen country
lawyers framed and which Demo-
cratic Congress enacted into law stands
today as the most colossal blunder Of
all.
