senate ma the Teaee Treaty.-

The probability that the peace treaty
win be confirmed at the present session
OF enc senate increases each day, even
the opposition and those who advocated
delay by lengthy debates coming to the
Wise conclusion that the treaty should
be ratiied as soon as practicable, with
view TO the settlement Of the question
Of the disposition of the Philippines af-
ter they come formally into our possess
sion This Is in line with the recon-
ncndation by the President and It GER
tainly would avoid complications to a
large extent,
Opposition to the treaty does not set
he these questions. nor can they be set
tIed until they are presented for settle
ment. Propositions for'the government
Of Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto
Rico cannot be considered until the
terms OF the treaty are complied with.
we cannot legislate for territory that
cannot be ours until the treaty Is rati-
ned by both governments. To reject the
treaty would reopen the whole matter
ana involve us in untold complications
with foreign powers. This realization is
Affecting the opponents to the extent
chat they are growing in the belief that
ratification is the first thing to be done,
IA order to relieve the country Of em-
barrassment and to leave the problems
OF government to come UP for settlement
after proper elaboration. free from out-
side induences-in short, to sotve quea-
lions in our own way and by ourselves.
In this connection, It is interesting TO
note chat the friends OF the treaty in the
senate, in their close Observance Of the
Developments If the opposition, have
found that the names of the slgners y
the memorials against the annexation
Of the Philippines presented 60 the senate
number less than 1000, distributed
among about twenty-five states, nearly
three-fourths of them coming from the
single state Of Massachusetts. The re-
manning 500 are distributed among the
other twenty-one states, which furnish
from one sIgner TO 101 each, the state OF
west Virginia furnishing the latter
figure This does not speak well for the
strength Of the cause of those who were
going to present to the senate national
protest which would take in the masses
OF the people. This disappointed expect
ation Is not without IT'S Significance.

immediate re-entry into politics. looking
TO 1900 It Is interesting 20 note that
Democratic headers, particularly those
who are officially connected with the
national organization, are not welcoming

arms. West Virginia Democrats are not
altogether dtstnterested in the develop.
ment OF matters considering the fact
that the 9Fst> authoritative declaration
of hostHIty against Bryan from on OH
clal source comes from Senator Faulk-
ner, who. as chairman OF the national
congressional. executive committee, may
be regarded as fairly rejecting the
views of others In authority.
In an interview published in the New
York Herald, concerning Mr.. Bryan and
his new platform, referred to at length
in yesterdays Intelligencer, and his as
plrations for the nomination as an anti
expansloniEt in 1900 Senator Faulkner
says:
II do not wish to discourage Mr..
Bryan, or to interfere IN any way with
the realization OF his ambitions. am
aware that he Is still candidate for
the Democratic nomination, but will
say frankly that he Is not my first
choice, for have IN my mind man
whom regard as the ablest leader the
Democratic party can boast OF to-day. l
do not care to mention his name. but he
is now member Of the United States
senate"
This expression carries with It a Sig
nlfcance which will doubtless be appre-
ctated by the friends of Bryan in West
Virginia, Mr.. Faulkner's own state.
Much of the opposition to Mr.. Faulkner
in the state, and which practically elIrni-,
mated him from the senatorial qlst in
Democratic circles, is Understood to have
resulted from his well-known lack OF
appreciation of Bryan's abilities and his
capacity as leader. It has not been u
matter Of certainty that Mr.. Faulkner
ever was cordial supporter of Mr..
Bryan, and 1t will be recalled In this
connection that the free silver league
and the Bryanlte managers have not
been cordially disposed toward Mr..
Faulkner. having Openly charged him

Baltimore Sun: In the Woman's Jour-
nal the advancement of woman IN htty
years is summed up by Col. T. w. Hig-
ginson, and It Is found that woman has
very considerably assimfiated herself
to man in her education, financial con-
dItion and social habits. No more IS
heard OF the old argument that woman
is untitled for collegiate education. The
old prejudice against girls schools OF
high grade has vanished, and co-educa.
ton has gained wide acceptance In all
parts OF the country. In employment
women have invaded mems sphere. They
have almost displaced men as teachers
in the putOc schools of some cities.
In library work, bookkeeping and type
writing woman begins to hold the held,
and there are very many lines OF busl-
ness IN which she Is numerous.
Our census reports show q permanent
change Of habits In the direction OF sub.
stltutIng women for men in various oc-
equations. AS women have become
bread. winners they have become much
more self.reliant than formerly. Wo-
men are found to make good treasurers
of societies. They now more frequently
have an allowance, and keep bank
books, even when not bread-winnerS.
The legal position Of women as respects
property has been greatly changed In
their favor. The movement has, per-
haps, gone too far in states where hus-
bands are still liable for wives debts.
while wives are not liable for husbands
debts.
Socially woman has held her own and
taken something Of mans customs. She
has her clubs In some sections in great
numbers. These have given great oppor-
tunity of work. study and mutual CO.
operation among women. They have
accustomed women to leadership.

far elementary and superficial. but this
