a disposition among senators tc
go slow in deciding whether the
treaty shall be amended, rejected
or ratified. Mr.. Olney told the
4 committee that he did not under
stand how any construction could
be put upon any clause of the
treaty that would connect it any
way with the Monroe doctrine
and assured the senators that
there were no hidden meanings
concealed in the treaty.
Speaker Reed had soulcwt II
unique experience this week, when
he was waited on by committee
composed of Re; csent t i V S
Hicks of, Pa; Curtis, of Kansas;
oHoker of N. :; Hermann, of
Oregon, and [enry, of Ind, who
represented a petition signed by
2OS members of the house, asking
that time be given for the con-
slderatlon of twenty-five bills on
the house calendar providing for
public buildings in various sec
tions of the country. The Speaker
pointed out to the committee the
necessity for rigid economy in
public expenditures caused by the
existing annual deficit of $5s,-
600, 600 and the committee went
back at him by pointing out that
none of these bills carried an
appropri ton; that they only
fixed the maximum cost of the
proposed buildings, leaving the
appropriations to be made bv
future congresses. The Speaker
expressed his dissent from this
system, which he called mortgage
ing the revenues of the govern
ment, and called attention to the
absence of the New York custom
house bill from the list. That
bill was then added, but the
Speaker was candidly told that
it could not be considered until
the other twenty-five had been
given fair hearing. Although
Mr.. Reed made his opposition
plain he did not give a definite
answer. When he does, if it be
unfavorable, there may be a re-
volt in the house.
The house committee on public
lands made haste to clear itself
of the imputation of intention to
pigeon hole the Free Homestead
bill, by reporting that measure
back to the house just as it passed
the senate. An attempt will be
made IN the house to amend the
bill by exemptlng- lands sold by
the government as trustee for
indians.
The senate committee on post
offices has set apart tomorrow and
Saturday, the 50th inst, for
additional hearings on the Loud
bill, which recently passed the
house.
A resolution reported from the
house committee on coinage, re-
quests the president to invite ex-
pressions Of opinion from other
governments as to the desira bill
ty and feasibility of the adoption
of International coins to be cur
rent in all countries adopting
them, and to be especially adapt
to invoice purposes.
surgeon General Wyman, of
the y. S. Marine Hospital Ser
vice says he feels no alarm over
the probability that the bubonic
plague. which is ravaging India
and which is reported to have
made its appearance in Europe,
may get foothold in this coun-
try, and that his action in issuing
notice to all medical inspectors
re-1mposing the U. S. quarantine
regulations of 1894 relating to
cholera at all foreign ports and
places infected or suspected of
being infected with plague, was
merely to let the country know
that precautions were being taken
to keep the plague out.

TIE i0WA BATTLE.

That there are still lie and strength in Che union of all the political forces which combined last year against the gold standard and tarty Of the trusts was coaeluslvely demonstrated by the fusion of the Democrats, the silver Reeabicpes and the Populists of Iowa on State ticket and q platform iudorsing the Chicago platform A few Popuiisis bolted, but the bulk of The Populist Convention approved the fusion compact Iti7 significant that the name "Demoeraticn was agreed upon for the ticket, indicating clear. ly the surviving party of the fusion movement in Iowa
 By reason of this fusion and the fact that the financial issue was made clear and strong in the plat form the battle in Iowa will have special interestand significance IL is the first renewal of the fight in | State campaign on the lines of the national campaign The battle will be fought without the powerful factors on the side of the Republi- cans supplied by Boss EIama's syn dicate and its enormous slash fund.
 If the Democrats of Iowa and their fusion allies win or materially cut down the Republican majority of last fall, it will be conclusive evidence Of reaction in popular sentiment in the Northwest. The result in Iowa will not only he an indication of sentiment, but may have an important bearing on the situation Political leaders will re gard the outcome as tip.-Re. public

4 NON PIRTISAN JUDICIARY

Ex President Harrison Is parti- san Il party man wlth rot an iota of Mugwumpery in his outfit. But he, nevertheless, believes in non partisan judiciary In an address to the Indiana Bar Association on Wednesday last, he urged that, ex- eept in the case, perhaps, of the United States Supreme Court, where party division on great constitutional questions may arise, it is absurd and may be dangerous to appoint or elect Judges on partisan grounds. He admits that there may be contingencies where q partisan selection for members of ''other appellate courts may be jnstiiable, but he insists that when we come to the lower and more tenn porary matter of politics, matters that are of expediency and consider ation, it is unworthy" to support candidates for the judiciary simply because they are of "this party or that party, if in so doing the less worth and the less competent men are preferred.
 This is what might been expected of an eminent lawyer, who is also a statesman and and a patriot. It is in harmony with the most advanced sentiment, the best preeedents, and, we are glad to be able to add, with the tendency of the times. In spte of the alleged domination of the ''boss, in spite of the prevalent i'm ipsessioii that party feeling is grow ing in intensity, in spite of the gloomy prediction that partisanship will closure patriotism and wreck our great experiment. in popular government, the people government the people are exhibiting an in creased capacity for the iudicious use of the ballot.
 A partisan court for the trial of the great mass of cases in which there is no conflict of opinion on State rights or any of the political issues growing out of the Gonstitu. tion of the United States-is an un- desirable tribunal \ candidate for Judge, going into the hustinss and appealing for support as q partisan, is an unpleasant spectacle less ire quently beheld now than formerly, and one which, let us hope, will sooon disappear Washington Post

THE GRANTING OF FRAN
 CfffSE,S.

One of the most sacred trusts re- posed in City Council is that of granting public franeises. The privileges and franchises of any municipality belong in common to the citizens thereof, and are placed in the custody and keeping Of the mumclpal council aud officers. These privileges and franchises should not be granted to private corporations without some compen- sating advantage to the body poli- tie. This eompensating advantage can be by direct purchase or share in the receipts Of the corporations or by an improved, enhanced and eheapened public service. Just now new corporation is seeking for a charter from the city of Pine Blutl for the operation of an electric light plant and street car line. The pee pie of Pine Bluff are anxious to se- cure either or both of these enterprises, but in granting a franchise to this corporation the City Council should serupulously see to it that every safe guard is thrown around the charter and the public interest guarded. The char ter should not be indefinite; it should be specific. It should specify exactly what is granted and no more, and what is not specifically granted should be reserved to the community in common. For in stance, in the matter of application for charter for q street railway, every street over which the pro posed line is 10 run shonld be desig- mated. The franchise should be for the streets aomcd, and no others. And then the franchise should be conditioned upen the construction of the plant, or plants, within a short and definite period; then il the street ear line is not put in operation by the expiration of the period mentioned the charter should ipso focfo become forfeited. Otherwise the charter could be in deinately held and never complied with, remaining all the while ! mere subject matter for speculation on the nart af the owners af the fran chise thing to be used or not used according to their wishes in the premises, or 10 be Sold in the event Of flattering or satisfactory offers from other parties. An these things should be carefully guarded against, and the pphlio interest in any contingency, protected.
 Ths GRAPHIC is in favor 9f public enterprise and improvement; il favors progress and advancement, Bat all the while, it is well to look into the future, and to reckon oc- currences as possible and probable that have happened in the past. Therefore, public franchise should not be granted until it is exactly known for what it is qranted, and in all matters of this kind the City Council should be cautious and cir cumspect.
