MouId BE a F,irst Defeat.

From the Philadelphia Record Dem)
The refusal of the United States SEN
ate to ratify the Anglo-American arbi-
tration treaty substantially in the form IN
swhtch II was negotiated would be a FIRST
defeat of the Mckinley administration
and ominous of the future. In this light
the attitude of a number of republican
senators towards the treaty has become a
matter of considerable interest in fore
shadowing their future relations with the
administration.

Col. Daniel S. Lamont went out of the
cabinet to become a president If he
hasn't got the United States on his hands
in that capacity, he has one of the biggest
things in it, the Northern Pacific rail-
road. 1t is a big thing at any rate for a
little man, but fortunately Col Dan"

The newspaper correspondents in Ha-
Vana persistenuy make Gen. Weyler re-
sign about once a week. with the use Of
different verbs, they make the report look
now and then like recent piece of news;
but there has lately been considerable
toning down in the reports. Sometime ago
the headlines read, "Weyler must GO"
and now they say, "weyler may have to
go" Buy Weyler is sull there, applying
the multiplication table to the production
OF atrocities.

Need of Dignity in the senate.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem.)

1t is becoming increasingly apparent
from year to year that the United States
Senate is fast losing its character for dig
nifty and conservatism which it formerly
enjoyed. Recently it has become more
radical than the popular branch of the
national legislature. while the utterances
of some of It's members, and the motions
and resolutions which are entertained
would be looked upon as disgrace to any
other legislative body in the world.

The Barbarians in Washington.
From the Rochester Herald (Dem).

The proposed duty on books almost jus

that the legislative branch Of the national
government is in the hands OF barbarians.
Civilized people regard knowledge as Of
importance and do everything in their
power TO promote IT, They found insti-
tutions Of learning. They levy taxes to
support them. They pass laws to compel
children 10 go TO school. But the repubu-
cans in congress take a different view.
