The Xew Granada Treaty.
The German newspapers are "seeing
things" in our attitude toward the South
American trouble. But, for that mutter, so
are the anti-imperialists in the United
States. Several communications to lead
ing American Journals show that the exist
ence of the New Granada treaty was un
known to the writers. Those anxious souls
had Jumped at once to the conclusion that
we were poking our nose in where we had
no business. "Here we go again," was the
tone of their complaint. "What is It to us
if those people down there have a revolu
tion every twenty-four hours? Let them go
their own gait, and if they like turmoil, let
them have their craw full of it! But the
New Granada treaty does exist, and we are
charged by it with certain duties in cer
tain contingencies. Is there anything wrong
in our preparing to discharge those duties
if the necessity arises? Our naval prepara
tions mean that and no more.
The Monroe doctrine is not involved, hut
it may be said as to that we were never
more comfortable than now. The ^ en
rziitlan controversy cleared the atmosphere
on that subject not only for Great Britain,
but all the world. The United States is not
likely to be challenged on that score at any
time soon. Our leadership in this hemi
sphere is >*ome-thing for which we stand
ready to do battle with any power: and this
is everywhere understood. So that with the
Nt-w Granada treaty on the books and the
Monroe doctrine not involved, why should
the critics of the United States at home or
abroad lash themselves into a fury over an
activity on our part thoroughly justified?
Still we may look to see these, criticisms
continue here at home. They are chronic.
They were first heard when the policy to
rehabilitate the navy was inaugurated.
"Build war vessels," their authors said,
"and the politicians and agitators will iind
use for them. You are simply laying the
foundations for endless trouble. We shall
presently be prowling around in every sea
hunting for a scrap, and after awhile we
shall find one of such proportions that we
shall not be able to handle it. Then re
member what we are now telling you." We
have built the war vessels, and are adding
to the number, but even their legitimate
use does not and never will satisfy those
who opposed the laying of a single keel.
They will see an error in every move, and
will hold to the end that our ships are mak
ing officious swaggerers of us.
We shall, of course, confine ourselves if
action becomes necessary strictly to our
treaty duties, in Colombia, and, fortunately
for that country and for ourselves, we are
well able to discharge them.
?
Filipinos vs. Friars.
Strong evidence qf the hostility of the
Filipinos toward the friars is furnished by
the extracts from the newspapers of the
archipelago which are reprinted in today's
issue. It appears from these accounts that
a peaceful demonstration against the mem
bers of the obnoxious orders recently oc
curred in several parts of the islands, lor
th? purpose of expressing the popular sen
timent that these agents of the church
should not be permitted to return to their
parishes. It further appears that in this
outbreak there was no sign of hostility to
the church itself. In one instance, in Cebu,
the populace hissed an objectionable friar
out of the pulpit and then, after emphasiz
ing its displeasure by leaving the church,
returned to participate in the celebration
of the mass. This episode illustrates clear
ly the point which has repeatedly oeen
urged, that the antipathy to the friars is
not based upon anti-religious prejudices, or
upon dislike for the cert monies or doctrines
of the Roman Catholic Church.
These accounts are the more valuable be
cause they come from sources entirely in
dependent of the insular government. They
corroborate in detail the representations
made by the officers of the administration
who have reported on the problem, and
they justify the policy which the govern
ment has adopted in dealing with the ques
tion. Throughout the agitations now re
ported the people appeared to have had
confidence in the promise that the soldiers
would not bo utilized to force the friars
upon them.

Yesterday was a day of disasters. While
the news of the Alaskan sea tragedy was
being received reports were also coming of
a river horror near Paducah, Ky, in which
fifteen Uvea were lost, through the capsiz
ing of a steamboat by a cyclone storm; the
? xplosi tn of oil and benzine tanks in Phil
adelphia. causing fully half a dozen deaths;
the premature bursting of a shell in a gun
in target practice at F>rt Kiley. Kan.,, re-,
suiting in one death and fatal injuries to
several soldiers, and a dynamite explosion
in a railroad round house at Herkimer, N.
Y.. killing upwards of fifteen workmen. It
is to be hoped that a long time will elapse
before another such combination of fatali
ties is recorded.

The Sacrifices of Seleni-r.
From all sides arise expressions of relief
that the dangerous experiments which have
lately been conducted in Cuba into the
transmission of yellow fever are to be
suspended in view of the death of two vol
unteer subjects who were bitten by innocu
lated mosquitoes. It is generally recog
nized that while great value may attach to
these Inquiries, the cost is too heavy to
be borne. Science may demand but civili
zation will not tolerate human vivisection,
or the absolute exposure of life to de
struction. It Is one thing for the experi
menting physician or bacteriologist to risk
disease in the handling of bacilli, and an
other to persuade or to permit a patient to
submit to tests which may result fatally.
This Is now the third death recorded in
Cuba in the course of the mosquito experi
ments. and these three affirmations of the
theory that the insect Is th? host of the
disease germ ought to be sufficie-nt for all
purposes. The first death was not conclu
sive. One of the physicians In the army
board of experts last summer died from the
fever after being bitten In one of the hos
pitals by a mosquito which was not posi
tively known to have been but presumably
was innoculated. All the subsequent tests
were satisfactory in the main, though no
deaths resulted. These two fatal cases
may be considered as clinching the hypoth
esis that it is possible for mosquitoes to
transmit the fever after a period of eigh
teen or twenty days from the biting: of a
patient. That lapse seems to be necessary
to permit the germ to develop in the body
of the insect.
The experiments In Cuba have been of
great value in that they have not only
demonstrated at least one means of dis
ease transmission, but that they have nega
tively disproved the old notions of the com
munication of" the disease through the
clothing of the patient and contact with
the disease excreta. This knowledge will
permit a material simplification of the
processes of quarantining In epidemics. It
does not, however, lead to any surer means
of treatment. The disease germ itself has
not been authoritatively isolated, although
Dr. Cuestas, now working In Cuba, is con
fident that he has discovered the specific
bacillus. Until that point has been gained
little confidence can be given to the pro
cesses of treatment, save on the well-es
tablished lines of medical care. But the
discovery of this means of transmission
leads to another line of remedy, through
prevention, which is always better than
cure. The mosquito having been strongly
indicted, with abundance of proof, obtained
at this great cost, it Is inevitable that
sweeping measures be taken to eradicate
this pest and thus to reduce, if not to elimi
nate, the chances of contracting this dis
ease.
The Pope and the Friar*.
A cable from Rome, dated Sunday, gives
the following:
"Today being St. Joachim's day, the pope
held a reception, which was attended by
twenty cardinals and some 150 archbishops
and bishops. He seemed to be in excellent
health. In the course of an address he re
ferred to the constant progress of the Ro
man Catholic Church, especially in the
United States and Great Britain."
We find in this an excellent reason why
the interests of the Roman Catholic Church
in the Philippines should at as early a day
as possible come under the direction of
churchmen of that communion who have
been trained in the management of reli
gious affairs in a free country. The prog
ress the pope notes here could not have
been achieved by a clergy of foreign edu
cation or instincts. There are of course
many foreign-born priests in service in
the United States, but the affairs of the
Roman Church in this country have been,
generally speaking, shaped by a hierarchy
strictly American in spirit and intelligence.
The result has been that as the country
has grown the church has grown. It could
not have been otherwise. That striking
truth, so felicitously expressed by Chief
Justice Fuller, "the republic is opportuni
ty." applies as forcibly to spiritual as to
temporal affairs.
The Philippines are now American terri
tory, and the purpose is to Americanize
them to the fullest extent possible. Ameri
can capital is already flowing in. Ameri
can customs are already being established.
American push is already showing itself.
Temporal affairs therefore are rapidly
taking on the American complexion. The
result of all this, unless calculations are
greatly at fault, will be growth of a sub
stantial and pronounced kind. If therefore
the Roman Church is to r*>?p its share of
the harvest it must realize and recognize
fully the new situation. If its growth
there is to be commensurate with the op
portunity. as it has been, and continues to
be. here, its management there must be on
a par with that whose work, here has at
tracted so favorably the attention of the
pope at Rome.
Still another point to be considered Is that
in the Philippines now all churches are at
liberty to exert themselves, and several of
the Protestant denominations are on the
ground with staffs of capable workers. The
contest is going to be pretty warm. The
Roman Church has greatly the advantage
owing to its long monopoly of the field, but
it could hardly hope to hold this if the de
tested and discredited friars should be
forced on congregations which practically
have expelled them and vigorously oppose
the bare suggestion of their return. New
priests would appear to be absolutely es
sential. and the Ameriean-bred priest is
most distinctly the man for the emergency.
He makes progress, and needs no help from
the state.
Another Sea Horror.
The sinking of the steamer Islander in
Alaskan waters brings freshly to mind the
disaster to the steamship Rio Janeiro la^t
February Just outside the harbor of San
Francisco. The latter vessel carried over
120 persons down with her, while the re
ports of the Islander disaster indicate a
loss of about half that number. The Alas
kan tragedy was in some respects the more
terrifying, because of the gloom of the
night, the deadly cold of the arctic waters
and the utter helplessness of scores of the
people thus suddenly precipitated into the
deep. In this case, too, land was near by,
and had it been possible to manage the
vessel for a few minutes after she struck
the berg, she could have been beached to
permit the rescue of most if not all of her
passengers and crew. But she sank swiftly
owing to the fact that the hull was ripped
open. Her bow filled first, and this carried
her down at an angle, so that her screw
and rudder were pulled out of the water,
preventing their action.

Concerning? Sn?ke?.
A scientist has during his vacation in
Colorado devoted some time to experi
mentation with snakes, and haa demon
strated that he could, by a very simple op
eration, transplant the tail of a rattleanake
to the body of an adder. It is impossible to
see how society Is to be benefited by the
transfer of the rattler's embellishments to
an adder. The result Is likely to make
each snake an outcast among his kind. It
1s true that the snake is a pernicious and
mean-spirited animal, entitled to absolute
ly no consideration according to the ethi
cal standards which regulate human inter
course. But there is no excuse for merely
Irritating his already contemptible disposi
tion instead of proceeding with straight
forward persistence, to his extermination.
The scientific practical Joker must have
his fling; but the snake Is really too despic
able an object to be worthy of his airy and
fantastic moods.

SHOOTING STARS.
The Delusions.
"I am sorry for the man who is no longer
capable of yielding to the delusions of life,"
remarked the philosopher.
"So am I," answered the enthusi;*et, "and
I'm glad to say that I have not lost my
capability for being deluded. I am keeping
in practice by going to a physician who suf
fers from sciatica to have my rheumatism
cured, and by purchasing my hair restorer
from a bald-headed barber."

"I suppose," said the man who had Just
been accosted by Meandering Mike, "that
you think yourself perfectly Justified in
taking money from me without rendering

"Don't say dat, mister," was the re

equivalent. If de hard-luck story I've been
tellin' you ain't fuller of Imagination an'
graceful embellishments dan any of dem
books you've paid fifty cents apiece for on
de train, I'm ready to give up me chosen
profession an' quit panhandlin' fur life."

An Ambition of France.
From the PhUiuli-lpbla Ledger.
How popular .in France was the third
Napoleon's idea of a French empire in
Mexico may be judged by the utterances
of the French papers on the subject of the
war in Venezuela. They indicate a jeal
ousy of the United States and a regard for
the interests of trie Latin race in America
which are evidently a survival of the old
ambition for French domination in that
quarter, coupled, of course, with a present
regard for the interests of the French
Panama canal. But these Impassioned ut
terances are not likely to lead to any ser
ious complications.

From tbe Philadelphia l/odger.
Trains and trolleys have linked the coun
try with the town, and a large number of
persons employed in the cities prefer to
live In the rural districts. For at least a
decade and a half this tendency has been
so manifest that every one has commented
upon It. Yet comparatively little has been
done to protect the farming communities.
The newcomers have introduced the tele
phone; the evening papers are sold at cross
roads of MO inhabitants; the ice cream sa
loon opens and the soda water fizzes, but
the average village Is no better guarded
than it was in the days of Rip Van Winkle.
Women as City Improvers.
From tb ? Baltimore American.
The suggestion of a correspondent in
Chestertown that women generally ought
to Interest themselves more in municipal
improvement is both timely and excellent.
There is a practical value in beauty which
is more apparent to the keener esthetic
sense of women than of men, and their
energy in banishing ugliness and substi
tuting attraction is a much-needed factor
in municipal life. The town and village
improvement movement/which has already
done so much In this direction, owes much
of its Impetus to women, and it is largely
women who belong to these associations
and conduct their work.
