Our Cool But IHnloumcj-

lu one the Administration paperspublished in New York there is today-

a singularly refreshing statement Inregard to the attitude of our State De-

partment on the Chinese question It J

is to the effect that the Government Is

much chagrined to learn that several-of the Powers are unwilling to abatehalf of their claims against China asrequested by Mr Hay Germany is rep-

resented as being the most notoriousoffender going so far as to declare thatshe will have her full satisfaction andkeep an army in China until it hasbeen secured

As a result of this uncomplying andtruculent course on the part of the Kai-

ser our Administration contemporaryasserts that Commissioner Rockhillwill be instructed to form a coalitionagainst Germany and compel her tomeet the views of the Washington

What would happen if the coali-

tion should not materialize or Germanyshould still remain recalcitrant if it didwe are not in a position to say Chaffeewith his legation guard perhaps mightbe ordered to turn loose and annihilatethe Germans and things in general orSampson might be sent to make a na-

val demonstration off the coast of German West Africa

Is it not about time for Mr McKinley-to put his foot down on this amusingbut ineffective Chinese policy of hisForeign Secretary The Presidentmust know by this time that interference with the thoroughly digested andcommonly agreed plans of the greatEuropean States Trill accomplish noth-ing beyond Incurring their illwill andbreeding snubs and trouble for thiscountry in the future Granted thattheir indemnity deminds are excessiveit ought to be evident that they havebeen made so with a fixed purposewhich wrangling with them will notovercome

When Russia seized Manchuria thefate of China was sealed It does notlit with the policy of Great Britain andGermany to have half of the ChineseKraptr lsorHed by Russia and notthereupon themselves to secure com-

pensatory territory for the extension oftheir commerce and as areas of obseration and bases for future military opations should occasion demandhere is no reason whatever to believetat the diplomacy of Mr Kockhill isep and able enough to alter the de

cFS5s of fate It weuld be better to letsleeping dogs lie and to take the medi-cine we prepared fur ourselves at thetime of the RussoAmerican cut andscuttle

People Who niena WellThe prayer Lord deliver us from our

friends has been echoed by numerousperplexed people at one time or anotherThe reason of this is that the actions ofmany persons are governed by thosemotives defined by a certain clergymanin a modern realistic novel who whenasked what got him into a particularlyembarrassing serape replied

3lr govtljiess of heart which I did not takete of thtxiag with goodness of head

ore I d itMost of us have childish recollections

folk who meant well but were soeculiar people who insisted on interrngr in the business of all their rela

tires telling tales misinterpreting innocent remarks and retailing gossipabout private affairs of all kinds andwho did all this with such unimpeachable motives and such an air of inno-cence and wisdom that the natural desire to hit them was checked An openenemy one can manage or abuse ac-

cording to his strength but a wellmeaning is no doing anything at all with him

The virtue of forbearance is perhapsthe rarest all things considered on theface of the earth To let a thing alonebecause it is none of our business is oneof the severest tests of selfcontrol tomost of us It is particularly difficultto do this when we are sure warewiser than the person whose business ithappens to be That is why people whomean well are so common

It is a serious and complicated quesn this problem of what to do with

e impulse of interference There areme people who feel lonely if they areaced in circumstances where nobodyres a pin about their plans and pur-ses They like to live in a com-

munity or a family where everyone isinterested In them to the gossipingpoint and nothing Is lonesomer forthem than a city In which they mightlive whole three volume novel withoutthe next door neighbors knowing anything about it There Is an oppositetype of person to whom nothing is moreoffensive than gossip and whose everyinstinct dictates reserve and restraintTo the person of the former type for-bearance is neglect and coldness to therepresentative of the latter class anexpression of interest unless carefullyconsidered and tactfully framed Is animpertinence And there are types all

way between these two extremesTb tragedy cf the situation consists inthe fact that they are thoroughlymixed all shades of character beingfound fit the same community and evenIn the same family

There are two or three cardinal prin-ciples hwfyer which it is best to follow One is never to enquire Into thepersonal affairs of another unless in-

vited to do so Another Is to considerany interference with those affairs as aliberty not a right and refrain fromsuck action unless there Is a positiveapd unmistakable reason for it whichwill not happen in one case out of fiftyA third rule Is to have some business-of ones own which Is sufficiently

to banish the necessity of find-ing anything else to be interested In

A disinterested friend can often do asoc l deal to solve a problem but thefriendship must be disinterested notbiased by personal wishes or viewsand if it is free from such bias it willordinarily be withheld till the propertime comes for its use A cool head isworth at least as much as a kind heartin the affairs of this world altruistic aswell as selfish

There may he some doubt about thesending of a Cuban commission toWashington to discuss the Pint termswith the President The Havana papers yesterday printed a despatch fromWashington which warned the

that it would be time wasted totake such action since Mr McKinleywould decline to consider the subject ofCuban relations except upcii the Plattbasis How he could be expected tonegotiate on any other is a mystery toeverybody but the Cubans whcse ideasof the unlimited power of the AmericanChief Magistrate no doubt are derivedfrom a study of his proconsul GeneralWood They o not see why if theConstitution can be openly violated toenrich the trusts at the expense ofPorto Rico and incidentally to spreadwant misery and starvation over thatisland a mere act of Congress may notbe ignored to please them But theyare Mr McKinley induced Congress to act on their matter becausehe was unwilling to take the sole re-

sponsibility upon his own shouldersHe is not to be talked over

Perhaps it would be as well if acommission of intelligent Cubans business anrt professional men anybodybut politicians could come here andacquire a orrect idea of the situationfrom the American point of view Weoffer this suggestion because it seemsevident tnat the irreconcilable dislikefor Governor General Wood which per-meates all parts of Cuba will render itimpossible to reach an understandingwith the island people while he shallremain in Havana A committee com-posed of the right sort of men wouldnot be long in arriving at the

that while the American Govern-ment citizenship mean well to theircountri both are satisfied that

for the peace and safety of theUnited Slates renders it an imperativeduty to refuse absolute sovereignty toCuba and to retain control over herforeign relations and war and debtcontracting powers They would sooncome to realize that the Platt termsrepresent the ultimate limit of Ameri-can concession and realize that itwould be foolish to reject what hasbeen offered in view of the strongprobability that if no action is takenuntil Congress meets again much moreonerous terms will be Imposed particularly if there should be anything likea revolt against American authority inthe interim

Whether a change of masters at Ha-vana would operate to overcome thecurrent opposition to our terms or notis a question Whoever is to blame itis to be feared that too much bad bloodhas been ngendered to make feasibleany further idea of winning the Cubansto our views by diplomacy There isa strong demand in the island General Woods recall but it is not likelyto be heeded In the end we shall perhaps be forced to suspend negotiationand impose terms instead of offering

the dead and buriedConvention

It is reported in England that King Edward recently sent for Mr Chamberlainand ilr Brodrick and told them thatLord Kitcheners negotiations with Gen-eral Botha had been conducted in altogether too peremptory a HisMajesty Is said to have instructed theministers to the correspondence-and to treat the Boer leader with greatercourtesy and consideration We hope thatthe story is true If so it shows Englands new sovereign in a very agreeableand welcome light

Senator Spooner is quoted as expressingthe belief that the Cubans will soon cometo appreciate the necessity of the Plattterms andaccept them Other public menare rapidly reaching the conclusion thatif Cuba should reject them and act uglyabout the matter the only course open tothis country would be to have Congressdeclare American sovereignty over the Isl-and and take it in That is an alternativewhIch it would be well for the Cubans toconsider attentively

ON THE NAVAL REGISTER

The Relative Positions f QuiversAnnounced l y Secretary Long

Secretary Long yesterday issued anorder announcing the relativeof naval officers on the register Theorder was necessary because of the pro-vision in the last naval appropriation lawdirecting that the advancement of officersof the Navy and Marine Corps for servicesrendered during the war with Spainshould not interfere with the regularpromotion of officers otherwise entitledto promotion The department has interpreted the law to mean that an offleer who had been advanced by numbersfor service rendered during the war withSpain is not to be regarded as additional-to the number allowed y law in hisgrade until he Is promoted to a highergrade than the one in which he was whenhe received advancement The depart-ment Holds that the purpose of the law isnot to hasten the promotion of officersadvanced for war service but to presentsuch advancements from Interfering withthe advancement of others

The special shows that sixtysixofficers of the Navy arid fills officers ofth Marine were rewarded for gal-lantry displayed dtiring ana since thewar with Spain Of the naval officersthree are rear admirals eleven captainstwenty commanders ten lieutenant com-manders thirteen lieutenants six lieu

WORKSHOPS IN ABEEHICA

Views Expressed l y nn K-

Hrltisli MceliuufeFrom London Engineering

As a journeyman who has spent sevenyears In American shops I wish to speakof one or two things in which Ameucanshops are inferior to ours and also

think there is at least as muchbrains as in American shops 1should to see even the L stAmerican workman come Into our shopsin large numbers They would do goocto the extent In which they stirred someof slow places up without tending-to increase or to prevent the reduction-of working but on tHe bther handI am can bfe uo doubt butthat the moral tone both tf andmen would be lowerednow are comparatively speaking men ofprinciple and masters are magnanimousand reliable The men if I may put ith rather a strong perhaps exaggeratedform know that they are slaves and

stand together and trust oneanother

In America they either do not know itor pretend not to and they do not trusteach other Rather an ideal state ofthings perhaps from the employers pointof view and still more so the fact thatless supervision Is required in an Ameri-can shop the presence or absence of theforeman making little or difference inthe amount of work done When the rea-son of it is understood however whenone finds that it is not due to a more hon-est disposition but the reverse that it isdue to fear and distrust of each otherthen it may not appear so desirable Ev-ery man knows that If he loafs or doesanything for himself the employer is as-certain to know of it as if It was donebefore his eyes I wit say that my ex-perience has been in New Jersey andPennsylvania only and that the formerState has a bad reputation so much sothat Jersey men cannot obtain employ-ment in some Pennsylvania shops

The two worst things abjxit Americanshops are the petty sneaking talebearing character of most of the men and thelong hours a sixtyhour week andscarcely any holidays rarely more than-a day at a time

It is a pity that England should have tolead while oiner countries have an advantage over u and before the condition of our own workmen can be Improv-ed it Is necessary that the countries weare competing with should approachnearer to our own

We want a at the sametime a magnanimous and kindly reali-zation of the natural Inferiority of foreigners generally may perhapscause a smile but nevertheless there Istruth in It I do not intend to be Quiteimpartial I have not been in England long enough

Only those who have lived in Americacin realize thu selfishness and intensepatriotism of the American people Ourjingoism might almost bo considered asinternationalism by the side of it

FOREIGNERS IN CONNECTICUT

They Are Tukliijr tlie Ilneei of theOldTime YnnUecM

NEW HAVEN Conn Arril 12 The annual report of the vial statistics de-

partment of the State Board of Healthjust made public shows a most sisniticant change that is earning about in thecharacter of the population of Conrecticut The original laakees are suffer-ing at the hands of the foreignit appears from the figures givenbeing slowly but steadily pushed to thewall by them In a generation 4f thepresent change keeps on Connecticut willbe repeopled with a race alien to the soiland the old Connecticut families will havenearly disappeared

At the present time the death rateamong the native population of the Stateis far ahead of the birth rate while thecontrary Is true of the foreigners Muchthe same thing exists in varying degreein other States of New England though-in few Statos haye the records keptwith such painstaking and inConnecticut

This State was originally peopled byEnglish and Dutch Immigrants who eith-er came over directly or moved here aftersettling In adjoining States In the earlytwenties th Jltrst Irish Immigrants ap-

peared and just previous to the civilwar there was a marked immigration ofGermans came the Italians andwithin a the Norwegians Polesand Russians The original stock hasgrown slowJx jSfhile this new leaven inthe loaf Is of a surprising and ter-rifying fecundity What the result willbe is a matter for the statisticians tosettle

Statisticians in Connecticut state that itIs a mathematically demonstrable factthat unless the operating causes are com-bated the American of English and Scotchor Welsh stock and later the Americanof German and Irish stock will disappearfrom the population and Tvjll be replacedby the children of Poles HungariansRussian Jewsaid Italians wino are nowswarming into the State in droves InFrance there is much agitation becausethe population remains stationary Inthis State affairs are even worse The

in the birth rate is of coursein the smalLcountry towns

whence the young blood has moved tothe cities and where comparativenecessitates small families amongtelligent classes The country towns ofConnecticut are peopled still almost ex-clusively by native Connecticut blood andhere the figures are most convincing Infortyone of the State the deathsexceeded with an aggregateloss for the year or 2Wr In seven townsthe two were equal The excess of thedeath rate was shown most in Middlesexand Fairfield counties the former havinga decrease of 41 and the of 3 Canterbury lost 15 12 andother 10 to 4 apiece

In large cities the dispropor-tion of deaths to births of Americans tendof foreigners Is even more noticeable InNew Haven the deaths of American bornwere 1721 last year and the births 1032Of foreigners the deaths were 551 andbirths 1534 is to say the

about 1 of Americanagainst foreign born and the births 2 to3 If the deaths of Americans are abouttwice the number of the deaths of for-eigners and their bilThs only 2 to 2 it willnot take long to entirely change the

of the populationthe other large centres precisely the

same conditions exist In Hartford 1CS1Americana died to 584 foreigners while 661Americans were born to 88ftThe births were 4 to G andto 2 A summary covering the cities shows

j that In Waterbury New Haven HartfordI Merlden Norwich New London andj Bridgeport the deaths of American bornwere 4227 to 1857 foreignborn deathsthe births of AmSriean born were 3392 to4524 foreign In the entire State there-

i were 8259 births of American parents and8219 and there were 103SS deaths
