A Diplomatic Departure.

Viscount Greys letter about the
treaty ratification by this country ap-
pears to have been in effect endorsed
by the British and French govern
ments. 1t was in sense an unofficial
expression of the hope of those gov
ernments that the Senate should rat
ify the treaty in some form, with
such of the proposed reservations as
were necessary.
1t is undeniable that the letter of
the former British ambassador is un-
usual. and perhaps a breach of dip
lomatic precedent. But the situation
at this capital is itself unprecedented.
The President has been unable to
receive the foreign representatives
and the Secretary of State has not
been in position to speak for him.
Comparison of the Grey letter in
cident with the offense of Sackville-.
West during the presidential cam
paign of 1888 is not to the point. The
bT1ClSn minister t1eH NlOldteu pldlu
rule of diplomatic propriety in ex
pressing an opinion on a purely po
litical matter. For that there was no
excuse and his dismissal followed as
a matter of course.
Had Viscount Grey expressed him
self publicly while in Washington the
situation would have been different.
He might have rendered himself un-
acceptable as ambassador. But the
fact stands that he refrained from a
public declaration until he had gone
home and that he then wrote, not in
his official but in personal capacity. |
The only question now is as to the
effect of his letter on the treaty. That
it makes for ratification is the gener-
ally accepted thought. If it has that
effect it will have been justified, what
ever the annoyance it may have caused
as a departure from the strict rules of !
diplomacy.

The Call for Aid.

About $4,000 is urgently needed by
the organized charity work in Wash.
ingtOn. 1t is required to carry on the
relief extended to families and indi-
viduals who are unable to maintain
themselves. Sickness, lack Of employ
mcnt, age, all are factors in the dis
tress that prevails among a certain
percentage of the people of Washing
ton. If they are not aided directly
they will suffer seriously, especially
at such time as this, when winter
storms intensity their Affections and
multiply their needs.
The eity's annual charity budget is
not large. 1t is materially lightened
by the gifts made in the name Of the
fourteen opportunities" annually pre-

The Two Old Parties.

A formidable third party is not an
impossibility. One may be organ
lied. Unrest is not Confined to finan-
tial or to industrial circles Political
circles are showing it in measure
There are republicans out of SYM
pathy with the accepted leadership of
their party, and there are democrats
little impatient With the ineerti-
tude displayed on their side of the
ferce. Should this feeling take the
form of active faetionism, and the
discontented within the ranks of the
two old parties break away and come
together. they might under competent
leadership cut very lively eaper in
this years campaign.
Much depends on what is done at
Chicago. and, later, at San Francisco.
The two old parties are proceeding
regularly and earnestly. The leaders
are not unaware of the actual situa-
tion. They are sounding public SEN
timent in every direction and by every
means.
This is a big job. A number of is,
sues are under discussion-more prob.
ably than ever before ON the eve of
a presidential contest. Old issues and
new, and all of them important, are
engaging the atfention of men and
women in all walks of life.
The work at both Chicago and San
Francisco, therefore. will be difficult
Real platform making will be neces
sary. Expert phrasemaking will not

answer. The times are too disturbed
and the people too critical for mere
gesture. A party procurement
must mean something, and the candi-
date representing it must by record
and character be a guaranty as to its
fulfllment in case of acceptance at
the polls.
We shall see extreme care taken at
both conventions. Both are likely to
be of very spirited character. Per
sonal ambition will be much in evil
dence. In both parties are men eager
for the highest political preferm ent,
and entitled by their talents and pub
lie services to lift their eyes to the
top. But they and their supporters
are aware of the fact that unless care
is taken to compose all differences be-
fore nominations are made, faction
ism may set up and assume the form
either of a sulk in the campaign, or
of an active independent movement.
For this reason-though all prophesy
it at prophets risk today-it seems
likely that, in the end, matters will
resolve themselves into straight and
strenuous tussle after the old fashion
between the two old parties, and
that one or the other will carry the
day in November. That the winner
will have A task taxing in the ex-
treme to perform is very plain. In
deed. full control of the affairs of
this country dating from March of
next year will be the largest order
