The Senate Committee On Foreign Relations
made favorable report yesterday on the lla-
waiian Treaty, and the report may be taken
up at any time by majority vote but two
thirds vote will, of course be required 10 ratify
the treaty. The prospects of ratification seem
to be excellent Thus far only twelve Sen

position to it. The latest news from the islands
is of the date February 10. AT that time
Quiet prevailed, and the sentiment in favor OF
annexation was steadily on the increase.
A scathing report anent those two precious
Democratic WORTHLESS; Koch and Scanncll, was
presented to the City Club last evening and

language. The conclusion Of the committee is
that it is the duty of all good citizens to re-
buke at the polls such appointments as Mayor
Giroy inflicted upon the city last month. 1t Is
Q misfortune that there is no direct and i'm
mediate method Of undoing such abuses OF
public trust as the Mayor has been guilty OF.

longing for peace and united work" There is
no doubt that they voice the feeling of the
public at large, who arc convinced that enough
time has already been spent-some would say
wasted-upon this controversy. Will it not be
the wisest possible plan to drop it altogether
and let the ministers and the churches devote
themselves TO their proper work? Ii is TO he

Unfair Editorial Comment.

The fiorsemen are very indignant over
an article that appeared in the editorial
columns of an evening newspaper last
night. liz reflected upon Senator Doran.
and int,mated that the Driving club was
going into the whisky business at the
Comstock track. The editorial declared
that the club had virtually confessed
that il could not maintain the park
proiitshly unless Risky WAS sold The
horsemen declare that the man who
wrote the article either had no concep
tion whatever ~ the purpose II the bill
or else he deliberately misrepresented
things. The club does not intend Ia go
into the saloon business unless the
Peninsular club and other similar organ
izations are saloons. Something over a
year ago plans were drawn for a club
house At the park. and the necessary
stock was subscribed; but much 81 il
was in the condition that liquors should
be dispensed at the club the same "a Mt
