The apologj to France by H, , ; the Haitian Government was prompt i 'I JVij and full: no doubt It avIH be made ab- Bi J fi ject If demanded, and the same to Gcr- ' many. If the wretched incident passes Hi . over thus ea'sily, this country will have Hlt' reason to be happy, for It might easily H have become an acute case of Monroe i,, doctrine, In case the European nations ' had Insisted upon occupancy as indem- 1 I f. nity. But we have our doubts alwut ' ! j the matter being dropped so easily, W. y ' I having In wind the severe and unjust .'j ( 1 ( X action of Germany, on a former occa- J ,-. ; slon.

But a German cruiser held up 1 ' the port for damages, and they had to Hl i be paid. If now that Haiti Is alto- H'i 1 i';! gether in tho wrong, that wrong Is ex- , ), cused, it will be a very curious clrcum- , I stance. ; i;, H. ' V The Russian press seems determined , to frighten itself into a fit over Amerl- J ' can doings and designs.

I, I ' Prussian tlmorousneso Is the Novoe H' ' j Vremya, and its most recent cause of I i 1 1,' i jjfi discomfiture Is the growth of the Ameri- 1 t) can navy, which. It thinks, can be for 1 'ji ' j,! ' )l n0 Bood end. It can't-figure out how H h, our navy can be needed for defense, j J r jlj nor yet for any lawful purpose of re- . J. sitting European aggression on any part ' i f of America: and it therefore concludes ,! 1 that the United Stales is preparing to H m "j attack tome power at no distant future, jj j and it hysterically warns European t j , statesmen to "beware of the boundless H'l f' t . appetites of American exporters, for i I Ij 1 which, other means falling, must be won ' 1 1 4 : by force of. arms."

The H IJ ' j best thing we can think of for that Juspian editor Would 1)6 to send him a fiaak of that Japanese brandy which the Rutsiana claim to hnve found on the bodies of dead JapaneM, with the pre scription to take In liberal doocs, as often as convenient. By th6 way, pomp of that same brandy might not be- a bad thing I(fv the Russian commanders to Isoue to their troops In Manchuria, when they eee that a fight is coming on. A PERSISTENT VETO. Wc noto that Mayor Morris has again vetoed the Council proposition to allow tho Sealer of Weights and Measures a fair sum for buggy hire In going about to perform his duties of verifying and scaling the weights and measures of the middlemen- of this city. Ho insists that a rig muat be bought for that of ficial, evidently with the purpose of making the office which Mr. Richards Is attempting so much to magnlfs. a per manently active affair. We would suggest, before going so far In the matter, that there be first a determination of the law. So far as the legality of tho procedure had to date is concerned, there has been no of firmatlon of Its validity, It Is stated that thero-'are good lawyers who doubt very seriously whether there Is proper legal foundation for tho acts of the Sealer of Weights and Measures. A test case Is now pending boforo Judge Dichl which Involves the validity of the acts in question and the authority which Is claimed. Until that case Is decided, it might be well to go slow, and it is our Idea that the Council has the better of the position. It provided a sufficient ease ment for the official until his status Is more perfectly defined, and that is all that should be asked at this time. It may be a good thing to make, this wide advertising of the dishonesty of Salt' Lake merchants, and proclamation that they use false weights and meas ures; but we do not concur in that opinion. We don't believe that there is any substantial basis for such a claim. We believe that the middlemen of this city arc in the main honest; that they use honest weights and measures. Wo don't believe that they mean to cheat lliosd who buy of them, nor those of whom they buy. And as to tho testing of the exactness of those weights and measures, wc are Informed that there is no official standard here; If there had been, as we are told and as seems likely, the tests would have been made long ago. As a matter of fact, what lias been done in this hullaballoo ap pears to have been rather technical than .substantial. Let us first clear the ground, and see Where we are at. If wc have the rcquislto legal enactments and the standards of test, all right; go ahead. If not. let us stpp until we have. But In either case, It is an outrage to ad vertise as bumptjously as has been done, that Salt Lake dealors arc cheats and rogues. AT GARFIELD AND BLACK ROCK. It is sorrowful to see old Garfield in Its decadence, "the MasonB haH an out ing there yesterday, and many were the reminhsconces of the great old bath ing place, which was the chief in its day. Those who had enjoyed the baths there in the days of the glory of the place sadly pointed to where the water "used to come," and, looking back to where it comes now, hopelessly shook their heads. Yet not all were hopeless. Grand Secretary Dichl, with cheerful countenance and with the pos Itiveness of absolute convlcJJon, pro claimed that the old days would surely return again; that tho rise and fall of the lake goes In cycles of years, and that again the water would come up to its old level. We are all familiar with that as a theory, and all hope that It may be the absolute fact which Mr. Dlehl belleres It to be. At present, however, Garfield is out of the question, so far as bathing fa cilities go. Yet It would not take so very much work to push bathing-houses out into the lake, and make a good bathing resort there again. And It would not be so tremendously costly, either. But oC all the places on the south shore of the lake, old Black Rock haa held its own the best. Not but that the water has receded there as much as elsewhere, but the rocky point be yond Black Rock proper is surrounded by living, moving, active water as no other portion of the shore is. It was refreshing to go out there and feel the old swing and swirl of the moving water, as of old. It Is a groat thing to come In contact with, and makes one wish that the San Pedro road wo'uld look Intb the possibilities there, with a view to reviving the old popularity of that spot as a bathing' resort; for be it known to the. newer population, as the older rcmembern very well, there was a time when Black Rock took the palm a3 a bathing resort. It Is quite possible that It might be made to do so again. It Is clean and sweet there now, while at all other places, the smell from the exposed lake rim is an of fence. It would be a great thing to have Black Rock revived. A good deal is being eald, and much rubbish talked (that of the disaster be-, ing a punishment from God for Home body's f?ln being the worst), about tho burning of the steamer General Slocum, and the shocking loss of life attending that disaster. Many remedies are called for, and the punishment of' those supposed to be responsible is loudly de manded. We have no faith in the remedies, for all fall through careless ness and indifference; still less do we look upon the punishment of any one as probable In this connection, or as reme dial or preventive of aocidents. The only thing Is to require that vessels be made absolutely fire proof. And even then, no doubt, there would be disasters, for tho American public Is po" reckless and Indifferent alout peril and losa of life that It seems impossible to bring the public sentiment up to the point where precautions are enforced or remedies exacted. 1 THE CABINET CHANGES. The transfer of Secretary Moody from the head of the Navy Department to tho Attorney-Generalship made vacur.t by the resignation of Mr. Knox, Is no doubt In accord with Mr. Moody's de sires, though the Attorney-General docs not rank as high In seniority as the Secretary of the Navy. But Mr. Moody is a good lawyer, has been United States District Attorney for flic Eastern District of Massachusetts, and has served prominently as a Representative In Congress, having been elected for three terms. He is a strong man and will easily maintain the traditions of the Attorney-Generalship to their full height. The successor to the Navy portfolio Is Mr. Paul Morion of Illinois, one of the -most prominent railroad men In .the country. He has been since 1SDS vice president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, having worked his wnj; to tho top by service In tho old Burlington, the C, B. & Q and with his present railroad company. He has been promi nent also In other business enterprises; and Is one of the foremost citizens of Illinois. He was born In Detroit on Muy 22, 1857, so that he is compara tively a young man. The resignation of Mr. Corlolyou from the Secretaryship of tho Department of Commerce and Labor left a vacancy in that office, which the President fills by naming tho Hon. Victor 11. Mctcalf of California, who is now representing the Third Representative District of that State In Congress. Mr. Metcalf was born In Utlca, N. Y., October 10, 1S53, and so Is In his fifty-second year; he Is serving his third term in Con gress, and lias made an excellent rec ord. Tho new appointments to these Cabi net positions measure up well to the high standard required of the Presi dent's official family, while tho prompt ness with which the places were filled Is at once gratifying to tho public and characteristic of the dash and activity always so well manifested by President Roosevelt, i THE CAPE TO CAIRO RAILWAY. The Cape It) Cairo railway has been completed to Victoria Falls, sixteen hundred miles north of Capetown. But the bridge over the Zambesi at tho falls, w.hlch Is to cross the chasm Just below the plunge, and will make tho view one of the grandest In the world, has pot been laid. The sectiono of the huge single-span bridge which Is to carry the railway across the falls are now on their way out from England, and it Is expected that the structure will be completed before the end of thJs year. Meanwhile, says the Central News, the line will be taken a hundred miieo further north to Kalomo the headquarters of the Administration of North-West Rhodesia. The next section to be built is from the Zambesi to Broken Hill, 350 miles In the direction of Lake Tanganyika. Af ter that point nothing further has been definitely decided. The whole length of the line planned by Mr. Cecil Rhodes was 5700 miles. Of this length, over 1600 miles has now been constructed from Capetown to theZambesi. while from Cairo the line extends 1-100 miles' south to Khartoum. The section from the Cape to Bulawayo was opened on November 1. 1897, and the section from Belra to Salisbury on May 1, 1S90 Of the whole distance, therefore, more than holf Is already completed, while that in hand will by the end of the year bring the completed part up to fully three-fifths. It will run for a time through tho wildest ahd least known country of any railroad ever built. THE BOY CONFESSED. From tho New York Tribune. Secretary Shaw told this story tho other day as to the propriety of ex tending clemency to violators of the customs laws who furnish evidence against their associates. It was at a Echool In Mr. Shaw's native State of Iowa, and one of tho boys had commit ted some grave Infraction of discipline. The teacher announced that he would thrash the whole class if some one did not tell him who had committed tho of fense. All were silent, and he began with tho first boy and thrashed every ono in the class, until finally he reached the last one. Then he said: "Now, If you will tell me who did thi3 I won't thrash you." "All right, sir. I did It," was tho reply. AFTER THE THE BANQUET. From Feathered Life. The editor of a certain paper recently received a fine chicken which he, sup posing It to be fi token of appreciation from a discriminating reader, took home and enjoyed for dinner. Tho fol lowing day ho received this letter: "Deal- Editor Yesterday I sent you a chicken In order to settle a dispute which has arisen hero. Can you tell us what the chicken died of7" PERSONAL MENTION. Tho United States Senate will havo among Its members when Philander Chase Knox Joins It five former Cabinet officers.
