ENGLAND'S ATTITUDE.
"With :i war cloud hanging over
this country the latest or Chinese
phase ot the Kastem question be
comes of the highest importance to
America. The present situation is
not so very uuliko that which pre
vailed when our war of independence,
was on, only the relations to this
country of the European powers in
volved are reversed.
At the time Great Britain was try
ing to forge anew our colonial chains
that country had complications on
hand with continental Europe. They
may well have seemed, on that side
of the Atlantic, incalculably more
important than the revolutionary
war. Benjamin Franklin, that peer
less diplomat, grasped the situation,
and set about turning it to our ad
vantage. He met with wonderful
success. As matters now stand, the
problem ma' prove to be: How
can England's necessity be our op
portunity? Or, to put the case from
the British point of view: How can
the strained relations between Spain
and the United States be made help
ful to England in thwarting the tri
parite alliance now threatening Brit
ish interests m the far East:
In itself considered, the Enstern
question does not fall within Ameri
ca's "sphere of influence." It is no
concern of ours whether liussia holds
Port Arthur or not, or whether the
Chinese empire stands or falls. But
our international policy must be
shaped and directed with a view to
the carrying out of the international
policy which dictated the fifty-million-dollar
bill, or act, as it has now
become.
From the standpoint of govern
mental history our alliant sympathies
should be with the continental
powers, but in the present condition
of affairs it is London, and not Paris,
Berlin or St. Perersburg, which can
help or harm us.
"We ask no assistance of any alli
ance in confronting any army or
navy Spain can command, however
formidable, but we might be sorely
wounded by raids on American se
curities. The great bulk of them are
held in England. They are our "heel
of Achilles." If, as now seems prob
able, England is particularly anxious
to have the moral support of the
United States in her Chinese policy,
she can hardly fail to see that it
would he an egregious blunder to
allow a hear raid upon our securities.
Such a raid could make no differ
ence with the final result, but it
could enormously incicase the actual
cost of defending and promoting our
national interests.
The tone of the London press is
lemarkably friendly to this country.
It was never more so than it is now.
The fan supposition is that the great
molders of British public sentiment
not only recognize the justice of our
position, and have confidence that
wc will mako no unreasonable de
mand upon Spain, but that they see
in the present condition a meat op
portunity. Ever since our second
war with England that nation has
been profoundly impressed with the
magnitude and variety of our rapid
ly developing resources. It is the
part of statesmanship to recognize
and improve nil favorable interna
tional circumstances, following with
clear perception what is, not blindly
subset virnt to what has boon. Inter
Ocean.
It is not strange that the merit
system in civil service should strike
tbo mind of Tammany as a very ob
jectionable limitation of its political
power. It is not that Mayor Van
Wyck, like Governor Black, desires
less "starch" in the rules; but ho
evidently wants no starch at all. He
appointed a commission for Now
York likely to agree with him, and
thrs commission has revised the rules,
and the mayor has promulgated
! them. If they stand the test of the
courts, Tammany will be happy, for
the barriers to the spoils system are
substantially broken down. The ex
ceptions to the classified list are so
numerous as to embrace nearly all
the more desirable positions. Those
which aie subject to competition are
not properly safeguarded. The ap
pointing oilicer may object to any
eligible person, and, if he can sustain
his objection before the commission,
another eligible person must be certi
fied to him. Practically, he will be
able to get the man he wants. It is
to be hoped that the courts will de
cide that the new rules are not
valid without the approval of the
state civil service commission.
NEWS NOTES.

cratic primary in Portland yesterday.
At present Madrid is quiet and the
Spanish show no great desire for war.
It is expected todav thnt the naval

Three prominent insurgent leaders,
Colonel Alvarez, Lieutenant - Colonel

Clara province and to accept autonomy.
They also prevailed upon a considerable
number of their followers to agree to
accompany tliem. Before their plans
could be executed. General Bermudez,
commanding the insurgent forces in
Santa Clara, learned of the plot. A

Iealiie Cannot lie Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of tlie Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
ilanied you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine casjs out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh?
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.
