merce. To my mind, few more important
subjects so imperatively demand its in
telligent consideration. The United States
has progressed with marvellous rapidity in
every field of enterprise and endeaSor
unti, We have become foremost in nearly
all the great lines of inland trade, COM
merce and industry. Yet. while this is
true, our American merchant marine has
been steadily declining until it is now
lower, both in the percentage and ton
mage and in the number of vessels employ
ed, than it was prior to the civil war.
Commendable progress has been made of
late years in the upbuilding of the Amer
ican navy. but we must supplement these
efforts by providing as a proper consort
for it a merchant marine amply sufficient
for cur own carrying trade TO foreign
countries. The question is one that APP
peals both to our business necessities and
the patriotic aspirations of a great peo-

Our Foreign Policy.

''It has been the policy of the United
States since the foundation of the govern
iment to cultivate relations of peace and
unity with all the nations of the world.
and this accords with my conception of
our duty now. We have cherished the
policy of non-interference with the affairs
of foreign governments, wisely inaugural
ed by Washington, keeping ourselves free
from ENHANCEMENT, either as allies or foes,
content to leave undisturbed with them
the settlement of their own domestic con-
Germs. 1t will be our aim to pursue Il
firm and dignified foreign policy, which
shall be just, impartial. ever watchful of
our national honor and always insisting
upon the enforcement of the lawful rights
of American citizens, everywhere. Our
diplomacy should seek nothing more, and
accept nothing less, than is. due us. We
want no wars of conquest; we must avoid
the temptation of territorial aggression.
War should never be entered upon until
every agency of peace has failed; peace is
preferable to war in almost every con-
tingency

Arbitration Commendcd.

Arbitration is the true method of set
tloment of international as well as local
or individual differences. 1t was recog-
nized as the best means of adjustment of
differences between employers and en-
ployes by the Forty-ninth congress, in
1886, and its application was extended to
our diplomatic relations by the unanimous
concurrence of the senate and house of
the Fifty-frst congress in 1890. The latter
resolution was accepted as the basis of
negotiations with us by the British house
of commons, in 1895, and upon our invita-
ton treaty of arbitration between the
United States and Great Britain was
signed at Washington and transmitted to
the senate for its ratification in January
last Since this treaty is clearly the re-
suit of cur own initiative; since it has been
recognized as the leading feature of our
own foreign policy, throughout our entire
national hstory-the adjustment of diff
cuties by judicial methods rather than by
| fcrce of arms-and since 1t presents to the
wcrld the glorious example of reason and
1 peace, not passion and war, controlling
the relations between two of the greatest
nations of the world, an example certain
! TO be followed by others, I respectfully
urge the early action of the senate there
! on, not merely as a matter of policy, but
as duty to mankind. The Importance
| and moral influence of the ratification of
such a treaty cap hardly be over-estimat-
ed in the cause of advancing civilization.
1t may well engage the best thought of
the statesmen and people of every coun-
try, and cannot but consider it fortunate
that it was reserved to the United States
to have the leadership in SO grand a work.
Extra Session n Necessity.
'It has been the uniform practice of each
president to avoid, as far as possible, the
/ convening of congress in extraordinary
session. 1t is an example which, under
ordinary circumstances and in the absence
j of a public necessity, is to be commended
But failure to convene the representa-
tives of the people in extra session when

The Fort Lyon Canal Co.

Judge Northcutt held a special
session of district court here yester
day to hear the petition of the Fort
Lyon Canal Co. to possession of the
La Junta and Lamar canal. The at
torneys in the case have practically
reached an agreement by which the
canal will be turned over TO the new
company, leaving the question of the
ownership of the King reservoir to
be settled by the suits now before the
supreme court. They were instructed
to prepare stipulations to that effect
and present them to the court next
Friday. 1t will be great relief to
the water right owners under that
canal to at last own the property
which they have many times paid for.
