Eaniel on the Nicaragua Canal.

Washington. Jan. 27.-During the sem
ate debate on the Nicaragua canal bill
Daniel bitterly denounced the canal
company and the pending bill, declar-
ing that the passage of the bill would
in effect put the United States into the
"bunco business" After pouring all the
hundreds of millions into this canal, the
United States could not maintain exclu-
sive control. The United States would
pay for the canal, and Great Britain
would use it. We would have the name,
and Great Britain would have the
thing.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The senate had
busy session yesterday. Cuba, the
proposed International monetary con-
ference, and the Nicaragua canal each
came in for a share OF attention. Tur-
pie closed his speech on the Cuban res
olutions, urging that Spain had utterly
failel to ouell the outbreak and that the
United States Shouts intervene. The
Wolcott bill for an International none
tary conference was considered for the
first time. White of California, Cam
non Of Utah and Daniel urged that the
conference would be futile and was not
intended as a serious movement toward
bimetaliism. 1t was made evident. how

opposition beyond the expression Of SEN

THE DUTCH ELECTION.

Zone man. one vote" Is to be put into prac-
tice in Holland to-day A general Parliament
airy election is to be held under the new law
adopted last year. The incident will command
far wider attention than elections In that little
kingdom usually do, because 1t will probably
result in n general overturning OF existing par
ties and reorganization Of Dutch politics on
new party lines. Universal suffrage in the full
est sense of the term is not granted under this
law but the prescribed system Is probably the
nearest approach TO it that will be had In Hol-
land in this generation. 1t is. indeed, as near
an approach as is deemed desirable by many
Of the most judicious advocates Of free institu-
tons and popular government. Under the Old
law. the great mass Of workingmen were dis
franchised Under the new one, their disabilities
are removed, and really every man may be
voter who is not pauper a criminal or an In
corrigible idler.
At to-day's election every man twenty-five
wears old may vote who pays at least 40 cents
in State taxes yearly, or who pays certain
house rent, varying according to his place OF
residence. or who owns or leases boat OF
twenty-four cubic metres capacity or who has
been in steady employment under the same en-
ployer for a year. or who Is a State pensioner,
or who owns a national bond of $40 or more,
or who has $50 in the State Savings Bank, or
who gives proof of sufficient capacity for work
ing at a trade or profession or in Government
office Any one of these qualifications, in de-
fault Of all the Others is sufficient 10 enttie him
TO the franchise and every man thus qualified
will be permitted TO cast one ballot and no more
There has been vigorous campaign waged by

"NOPTHERN ISHNAELITES."

The Isnmaelites have always been source Of
trouble and annoyance. The old Hebrew rec
ords are full Of the evil deeds they did, and in
more modern times. as Bedouins, they have at
times shown great fondness for the goods and
chattels of urarmed travellers. We had not
supposed, however, that any lshmaelltes had
strayed over to this country But 1t seems that
IN this we were mistaken. for the State of Texas

thankful that they have not been lynched long

II seems. however. that the criminals COM

metaphorical sense. In reality, they are certain
men from the Northern States who have been
acting as professors In the State University nj
Austin and who, according 10 the resolution al

and Initiating" the minds Of the pupils with Re

THE PEPTBLICAN ENROLMENT.

In commenting the other day upon the e4-
.o,,on, immersion which the new president of
the Republican County Committee has maze oy
adjoining a manner and course or frank anu
omen goodwill toward all elements in the part!
we hailed with particular satisfaction MS 'oi-
untary proposal to purge the rolls OF the organ
ization. to admit all applicants having lalr
title to enrolment, and so TO make 1t an honest
representative body. Nothing has occurred since
then 10 indicate any inclination on Mr.. Quigs
mart 10 draw back from that position While the
general expression Of approval and commenda-
tlon must have convinced him that the carrying
ant of his plan in good faith would greatly
strengthen him for the difficult task of leader

RI he the fact he realized at once that so long
a. tho enrolment was believed on strong evil

he could not command for himself or for the
orcanizatiOn that confidence which is essential
70 effective party management, he deserves
credit for his quick and clear understanding of
the situation If he proceeds to accomplish his
purpose in perfectly straightforward and thor
ouch manner, he will deserve much higher
praise.
Mr.. Ou,gg has doubtless been aware that he
set in securing the adoption Of his proposal, but
later in putting it into execution. 1t was with
this probability in mind that we said last Fri
day that there might be imputations of nsin-
certify against ADMINISTRATIONS that the pro-
posed revision of the rolls was nothing more
than a hoodwnking device. There have been
a few cynical comments of that sort, but at the
present stage of affairs he does not need to be
much troubled by them. If, as we assume. he
is really acting in good faith. He can In that
case afford to let the sneers pass for what they
are worth knowing that an honest enrolment
will be conclusive proof that they are WORTH
