FRESH from nn PlKht-wrcliR1
fojniirn In Kuronp. Ponatoi
Dopcw Is home with a Ron
erou; liuilgot nf newf. niiln
lon and cues-work which, yntt may lip
Mire, la duly set forth ami embellished
in the Xeu. York papeis.
There Is, he reports, a Kenulne Fcare
on the continent about the competition
of American manufacturers In the con
tinental maikets, and cabinets are urn
fultlnc If any combination to cheek It
nnd to keep down Ameilean competi
tion In the Kar East Is practicable.
"We are coming to be conMdeicd n
common enemy, to the extent that wo
actually supplant forclpn manufactur
ers, and this feeling; Is lntcnlflcl by
eveiy concern which pops bankrupt, or
reduces waces. or lays off a portion of
Its employes, ascilblnp It all to Ameri
can competition. Thli unfiiomlllne.ss,"
In the senator's Judgment, "Is not likely
to rei-ult In wnr. The lelations of Euto
pean governments nio- too Intricate and
uncertain among themselves for any
one to take that risk, and combination
lfi Impossible. An Industrial defensive
and offensive alliance against u.s has
Insuperable dlfucultks. Rut we must
expect each country to put In practice
every device to keep our product out."
An an lllusttatlon he cites the case of
the police of A'lennn, who looked the
other way while natUo shoemakers
mobbed a warehouse oi ened by nn
American Hv.il. And he adds: "It was
Interesting to note the intense Interest
nnd pleasure In the steel utiike and the
threatened one In the New England cot
ton mills. The newspapeis were Jubi
lant in their editorials. They piedieted
the extension of the labor troubles to
all Industries. They claimed that the
contest was the Inevitable outcome of
the. trusts, and that home troubles
would postpone for jeats the Yankee
industrial Invasion and conquest."
Mr. Depew found In England a nwt
genial welcome, unmistakable evi
dences of nn unusual cordiality In Utlt
lsh sentiment respecting Ameilcn. and
a widespread opinion among the mote
intelligent classes that we should have
our way about the X'lc.ungua canal, to
build, own and conttol it; but that
treaties should be nbtogated a they
are made, by the diplomatic fotmal
itle.s and agreements common among
irlendly powets.
Thero is in the senator's intet view
one apprehensive note. lie sajs.
"Europe has Just grasped the full
meaning of the Montoe Doctilne and
unanimously resents It. The Old Wot Id
wantn larger trade with South Amer
ica, coaling stations for lleets on this
Fide bf the ocean, both In the Atlantic
snd Pacific, and a ftee hand for pto
lection of citizens and commene In the
leveral ptates of the Isthmus and South
America. On this they are all agreed
ind fjeady to act, and cannot under-Itand-Jthat
the Monroe Doctrine is as
nuch a part of the settled policy of
'Jie United States as Its constitution.
The railroads in South America have
jeen '.built with foreign money, .and
nines, are developed and worked, docks
ind warehouses constructed, banks oi
ranizrd and run, and every entcrprlfe
mpItnllziHt and made possible by the.
avUh. Investment of English. Oeiman.
Trencti and Italian capital. The nmouift
uns Into tremendous figures, and three
rovertfrneots are alert for their citizens
ind tlfjlr rights. If we ever hava seri
ous trouble it Is more likely to come
from our fixed putpoto on this ques
tion than from eastern complications
or commercial rivalries,"
ThlsjSpres'cntntion of the European
point of view- In reference to South
American affairs should admonish
Americans that thev must either iltnii
the. Monroe Doctrlneor c.-ury it through
to its logical limit by undertaking so
thoroughly to police nil South Amerl
;un countrle In time of revolutionary
1l6turbar.ee that forelcn nations and
'nter'fts will h- ntlfted to look to us
.'v t" nro'ectlon tov would other
wise enforce) themselves. V cannot
petmnnently nssert a dog-in-the-manger
policy and expect Europe to re
fpect it.
The charge that employee of the steel
trust ate held prisoners within the
mills by armed guatdx who prevent
their escape Is Improbable on Its face.

A DISPATCH ftom Chicago In
the papets of yesterday In
dicates where dlsregatd of
the rights of others is lead
ing some of the men contuded with or
ganized Ir.bot'n slttiggle for the mas
tery of Ameiluin Industry. It Is as
fllllOW'M
".MmiidfM in a strll, ,i' the Alils
Ciiiilmnrn foundty here, who were nn
Krldav enjoined from picketing the
grounds of the Allls plant, by an order
from .luilge Kohlsnat, ate openly de
f.lnu: the injunction today by having
out a 1 1 r of plikols. Business Agent
rhllllpd cf the mouldcts' union said:
'We do not cite for any Injunction
willed will ilcpiive u.s of our tights as
Ameilean cltlens, nnd will keep on
iplcketlng the Alll-Cbalmeis plant, as
ve have done In the past.' Strike lead
ers maintain th.it the Injunction Is non
opctatlvo In their cases because they
ate using no violence."
"The lights of Ainetlran citizens"
hnvo their fundamental guai.mtee In
the constitution of the Cnlted States,
vvhli d ninvhete gives warrant for labor
unions to make war upon non-union
woikingmen or upholds the Minnunillng
of privnte piopeity by picket lines to
spy upon what Is done within or to
Interfete with those who may wlshto
come or go. The lights of American
citizens ate defined In Ameilean
courts, nnd when theicln defined, are
not amendable at the will of Individ
uals, .s.ive thtough the mdeily pro
cesspH of the b.illot. The remark
ciedited to Ruslness Agent Phillips of
tho mouldeis' union ls in splilt a dcll
ance of the law nnd a ustitpntlnn by
Mr. Phillips of nuthoilty not belong
ing to dim, but belonging to the Ju
diciary. If eveiy clti.en who Is told by the
court to do or not to do a certain thing
niiiy Justify disobedience by alleging
that It conflicts with Ills views of vvdat
constitute the lights of Amen lean citi
zenship, that citizenship would soon
lov nil value, because It would soon
repicsent instead of cudeily nnd stable
government, a government of personal
whim and caprice.
Those who excuse or extenuate law
lessness vi hen put forth In the Inter
est of labor oig.mlzations defend their
coiuse by alleging that emplojers alo
ate sometimes or ftequently lawless.
Tho defense is inadequate. One vvioug
Is not lighted by showing the existence
of nnother. Whatever sins lest upon
the consciences of those who employ
labor or however badly Illegalities by
capital stnnd In need of punishment
anil roriectlon, the fact is incontio
vertlblo that the public Interest most
tit gently demands of those who guide
the ai tiv Ities of labor donest tespeit tor
law nnd order. Rut this demand Is
dally Ignored; and In hundreds of com
munities nnsletles ate felt akin to
those of civil war because many of the
men w ho lead labor trade on prejudice
Instead of renson.
Of coutse the eultnn finally yielded.
Rut not befoie be had fenced another
exhibition of tho weakness of the row
els'. Canada.
WHY IS IT. an English
w liter asks, that Can
ada, a country of splen
did natural resouiccs,
capable of su.s.tnlnlng an enoimous
popuatiou, does not develop In the same
ratio as the 1'nlted States'.' Ho then
points out that the fettlllty and n.it
ui al wealth of the dominion call fur a
poulatlon of 50,000,000 instead of tho
beggarly fi.SJS.sM i etui lied by the ic
eent census an enumeration that, in
Ontnilo at least, Included soveial
thousand Canndlaii-boin pet sons who
had removed Int the states, It being
lashly assumed f'at they would even
tually return and ho iu.ike.j an elo
quent plea for hrltlsh capitalists to
take some of tlio millions now put by
Idem in da.aidous .South Ameilean
and Soutd Aft lean Investments, and to
use idem In colonizing Canada's ilcd
waste places on a largo scale.
"The 1'nlted States," tills w liter con
tinues, "dave been built up entliely by
Immigration, Tde mu in rutdontv In
tde Ynnkee count! y realize th.it fact,
nnd they have scouted Eutopo tor
bt.iwn ivorknieii to till their s dl nnd
delve in their mines. The etulgiants
who dnve been taken West and placed
upon the great graln-gt owing lauds
there are raising id" wdeat whlcd ui
rlvcs at our ports by tde millions of
busdels. Meanwdlle, tde splendid
farm lands of Canada, which might
glow ev?ry pound of bread that (treat
Rtltalu eats, ate, compaiatlvely speak
ing, a vast solitude. Why do cml
giants go to the t'nlted St.ites Instead
of to Canada? Because they are taken
tdere."
Tho Englishman's Idea that money Is
to be made by a mote systematic ex
ploitation of tho Canadian notthwest
than has yet been undertaken is rea
sonable. With Manitoba alone ptoduc
liiff S.'.OOO.OOO bushels of wheat this
year and paying farm iaboieis t'O a
month, exclusive of bonid, there Is
hardly any limit to tho pioductlvo pos
sibilities of the great region noith of
our northern boundary, of which fho
Red river province tortus, In men, only
a small fractional part. Rut It will
take more than natural wealth to at
tiaut and letnln an Intelligent imml.
grant population Into Canada. Emi
grants ftom Europe may go to tho
United States becauso they ato taken
there; although most of tdem como
nowadays of their own freo accord, of.
ten Ignoring the wishes of those
amongst whom they sutle. Rut they
remain In the United States because
they proiper here; because they And
that their children have excellent op
portunities here; because In a little
while they themstlvea feel at home
here, manifest an Interest In public af
fairs nnd gain a voice and vote In
how things shall be ndmlnlstered.
In Canada, on the other hand, thero
Is no national spirit In any true sense,
but only a petty parochialism. Local
and provincial interests occupy the
public mind. Politics ls restricted to a
multitude of smnll details that present
no stimulus to the Imagination. Na
tionally Canada 1.4 non-existent save as
an appendage to n scheme of govern
ment having Its center located thous
ands of miles nway. There Is nothing
In Canada to give cxetclsc to tde spirit
of pattlntlsni wdlelt is lnlterent In all
Inhabitants of a land who add to Its
valu. Tde endeavor of tho office
holding class to supply this deficiency
by means of the phantom of Imperial
unity meets with scant success among
the common peopK who view In It
largely an abstraction of rhetoric. The
fnuudlnu Is loyal to his town and piov
tnee, but misses the cementing Influ
ence that In ancient Rome pioduved
the splendid boast: "Clvls Romnna
sum"; or that, southward ftom the
Canadian boundary line, tills the
Ameiicnn with nn Incessant conscious
ness of kingship amciig men.
It Is this pec nihility of Canadian
politics which explains why the domin
ion does not mine tapldly develop.
Canada Is trying to escape her mani
fest destiny and tho endeavor stunts
her growth.
Tho law requiring cities, boroughs
nnd townshlp.s to wait several months
for their share of the liquor lirenre
money after It Is paid Into the county
triMsuty would be n good law to ic
peal. An Interesting Suspicion.
WHEN" (lovernor Odell Inst
winter declined to accept
ordets from Senntor Piatt
to give his ofllclal sup
pott to the hitter's scheme to transfer
conttol of the police of gi eater New
Yoik from the elected ofllceis of the
city to .a commission appointive by the
governor, and was threatened with
political extinction, he stood his ground
firmly nnd it was Piatt who had to
yield. Piatt then said that If Tam
many won the next city election, Odell
would be to blame.
Eumois have recently been persist
ently circulated that odell was Jeopard
ing a concentration of the anti-Tammany
forvrs by bis Insistence that the
man to name for mayor In opposition
to Tammany must at all hazards be a
Republican. The manifest object of
the spreading of these leports was to
imperil Odell's hold upon the inde
pendents nnd to load upon him the
onus of a Tammany vlctoty should
one occur. This weak cannot bo traced
to the Instigation of Senator Piatt, but
It has occupied the eneigtes of a num
ber of his li lends.
Now the governor takes cognizance
of these Illinois nnd in a well-guarded
Interview, which caiofully nvoids any
direct icflectlon upon the senntor, but
which nevcitheless says much be
tween its lines, Infoims the public
that "If membeis of the Republican
li.ii ty nie atti Uniting to hlm any shaio
in the effott to tluow out of balance
the confetence of the anti-Tammany
gioups, they nie mlMaken." And he
adds his belief that the eftort "comes
fiom thoe he antagonized In l ela
tion to the attempted police legisla
tion." Senator Piatt, in all his statements
for publication, favois naming an inde
pendent Democrat against Tammany
and nigues sensibly that only by such
a nomination can Tammany's over
tdiovv be assuird. Can it be that this
attitude is assumed to mask seciet
moves calculated to piotect Tammany
and destioy Odell? The latter's re
uiHiks i.ilsu this suspicion.
A cut ions pioblem piesents Ifolf In
London. The need of rapid transit Is
fast calling Into existence new lines of
undergtound street uillwny, an 1 one of

commodate a large voluino of travel,

that ntchltei t nnd rngineets declate

Munition aiv animated dl.cusslon has
developed, which coveis the whole
giound of the eternal conflict benvrtn
ttaditlon nnd innovation, but it Is a
sale guess that, ieg,udles- of St. Paul's,
the tallroad will eventually be built.
