Mr. Randall Cremer is an English carpenter. k Tears ago he took the broad .view, of life and oppor tunity. He was elected to parliament. He , saw the good of representative 'government and he con- ; tared a plan for a larger representation that would - represent the governments themselves in one great body, ne converted a few men to his way of think " ins: and launched the idea upon the world. For : mort than a month this year the result of all this las been filling hundreds of columns in the Ameri l can newspapers. The Interparliamentary Congress. ' with delegates from all of the enlightened countries t f the earth, came on invitation of the Unite States, f traveled on special trains, saw the world's fair, and . reached a really splendid climax in a request to the president that he summon a second international con j ferenee to complete the work of The Hague tribunal and to bring the future of humanity under the maj ' csty of the law. y It reads almost like a story- this devlopment of fSe carpenter's idea. But here wthe-faoof, the president's call for the congress. "Five years "nave passed since the other meeting at ThefHsgue and we have had war in plenty; yet in spite of it progress has been made, and. progress has also made I new problems for the consideration of the wise men f,f the world: What is contraband, in wart . What military restrictions shall be placed on wireless teleg ,'raphy? What shall be done with ships seeking nen ! tral ports I Shall the; dropping of explosives'' f rom balloons' and flying machines be permitted J Inven jtion and improvement will provide, other topics . i jnore than enough for the ablest and busiest men. t. But it is a fine thing that an idea in these mater- jial days can thrive so beautifully' and come to blos- aom so quickly. . . t tenburff fronr 1892 to 1834. delivers luinsmt oi a southing, arraignment of Russia 's bureaeratic gov ernment and the weak and vasodilating czar at its head. After passing in review tlie sev. ra fentures of reaetiotiarv wkv that eltaraotorize the despotism of the czar's ministers, Mr. White fixes upon the op pression of Finland as the m.vst terrible example of the power of autocratic rule and charges Nicholas himself with responsibility for the outrage. The policy uf the ruling nobles in the realm, so forcefully exemplified by the ruthlotw treading down of the liberties of Russia's most progressive people, is due to an absolute indifference to, even antagon ism against, all-influences of enlightened government, as White show's; but in the case of Nicholas, this medievalism, sJt with equal stubbornness in his char acter, is strengthened by an utter indifference to the needs of his people, a stolid ignorance of all eoiuli tions affected ky 'his rule. "He knows nothing of his-empireoY"t)f;his people," writes. .White; "he nevegtojaOf his house if he can help it" In the lighfi of this intimate estimate of Nicholas' character it uMhow easier to understand why (Jen- eril toesstd j ordered'to throw away every life in" Port' Arthifr I before surrendering, why ' General P.A.StoKes for Kiiropatkin rsceives imperative orders, to advance against a supW-ior foe at the lieginnmg ot a hant Manohurian waiter, why the pitiably inadequate Bal tic AM is sent blundering to the cast. Can Russia achieve. any measure of her destiny under the hand of this bigoted' incompetent ? :..J . THE TREATY WITH FRANCE. Doleasse's move for a treaty of arbitration with the United States was brought to a successful close yesterday when the treaty was signed and now awaits the ratification of the senate of the United States, says the Examiner. Our first war was with France. It was the irony of history that the troops under Washington and Rochambcau, who brcught down the British flag at Yorktown, were la ten years being marshaled for a fight against one another. Washington came from retirement to command the American forces that were to fight the French and on sea there were several collisions. Teace, how ever, was brought about and there was nothing to mar the eood'.will between the two nations until the days of oir own death struggle with one an other, when Napoleon III sought to establish the empire of Mexico under the suzerainty cf France. There are fw possible points of dispute between France and America. The memory of the services France render! America in the revolution should prevent a resoifj to" arms, but it is an inspiring ex ample to other mations of the world that the great republic of thewest and the great republic of Eu rope have resolved that all matters of . difference that may comf between them shall be settled in courts of arbitrition rather than by a resort to arms. ELECTION FORECASTS, - f- 1 1 , ' ' According to the New York Herald's election es--timate, Parker will carry New York city by 133,000 ylnrality; according to the Brooklyn Eagle's, he will Itarry it by 180,000 plurality; while in the judgment f the Tribune his plurality in the American metrop olis will be about 62,000. Governor Odell, chairman of the state republican tentral committee, predicts that Roosevelt will have a plurality of 100,000 in the state at large, and Cord Jlcyer, chairman of the state democratic committee, appears ta be equally confident that Parker will have a plurality of 50,000. Most of these forecasts assume lhat Ilerrick, the democratic candidate for governor, will ran somewhat ahead of Parker, and that Hig jins, his republican opponent, will run somewhat be lind Roosevelt. The same wide divergence of opinion is shown in forecasts of the result in the electoral college. ..The republican managers "claim" pretty much ev- ry state outside of the "solid south," .white the democratic managers "claim" every southern state I" and practically every so-called doubtful state. It does not follow that the newspapers mention- ; td bare not made an earnest and fair attempt to i gruage the numerical strength of the republican ani democratic tickets. Campaign managers are pro- , Terbially prone to take a rosy view of their party's lection prospects, and probably many of them be Eevethat the figures they put fortbnre well founded. The vast disparity in the foregoing forecasts, provided they are the result of careful investigation, show at any rate that somebody is going to be great W tTHHTipointed on election night. However, such forecasts constitute a harmless sort of diversion. It is distressing to learn that "everything which science can suggest" is being done to keep the little heir to the throne of the Czars in health and strength. Evidently natures to have a hard time "of it, and will score one of her greatest triumphs if by chance this baby should; escape alive from the solicitude of doctors and nutses. . And doubtless his parents ap preciate his danger. There was until recently on one of the thron&r of Europe a prince who was blind in one eye. To, treat his good eye he, called in the greatest occulist in Europe. The occulist, agi tated by the fact that he was operating'on a sover eign, destroyed the sight completely and, when he realized what hehad done, went into the next room and killed himself. It is with fear and trembling that a person of rank in Europe puts himself into the hands of a doctor or dentist or nurse even ; for he knows that if he escapes the Scylla of trembling snobbishness he is like to wreck upon the Charyb dis of overzeal. .' .. AN ESTIMATE OF CZAR NICHOLAS. In an article contributed to the November num er of the Century Maga.i-.e, Andrew D. White. maukixx plenipotentiary of this country to St. Pe- General Grosvenor, who figured out the result so closely in 1896 and 1900, has made public his estimate for 1904, and it is equally satisfactry to republicans, though some of the more sanguine of the latter , may be inclined to place the electoral majority for Roosevelt and Fairbanks higher than that claimed by the Ohio political prophet. How ever, whe shall all, including General Grosvenor, know more about it on November 9.
