THE jingoes have advanced another
step. They now not only demand that
no foreign power shall establish col
ony in the Western Hemiphere, but
that no country of that hemls-
phere, having once afforded an
opportunity to citizens of this coun-
try to avail themselves of certain
privileges it may have granted them,
shall offer like opportunity to citizens
of any other country. An American
company having failed for many years
to dig canal through Nicaragua, Sen
ator Morgan, the king of the jingoes
and annexationists, now says that Mic
aragua shall not be permitted to grant
q charter for such canal to any other
company, but shall not allow any
foreign company even to build an inter-
ocean railway through her territory.
The jingoes are evidently too big for
their breeches.

In vehement tones he questioned the

THE New York Sun says the only
difference between the Presidential
campaigns of 1900 and 1896 will be that
ia the former the boilers of the latter
will have disappeared. This is true.
The boilers will have either joined the
republicans, in name as well as in deed,
or else, having seen the error of their
way, and ashamed of its effects, will
have gone back to their old party, and
thereby acknowledge that they were
wrong when they foolishly pretended
to believe that they were wiser than all
the rest of that party.

THE stock market in New York was
very active last Monday, more than
six million dollars worth of such secur-
tiles being dealt in there on that
day. That is not at ali remarkable.
AS no investment in real estate or any
sort of industrial business can be made
with the faintest prospect OF pr fit, and
as the few people with money don't
want to let it lie idle, they put it in
bonds and stocks, even at low rates OF
interest. But surely this is not at all
indicative of prosperity except to
President Mckinley and his cuckoos

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
SENATE.

In the Senate to day resolution was
adopted directing the Secretary of the
Interior to furnish the Senate the total
per capita cost CT educating Indian
children at certain Indian schools; the
total cost of transporting pupils to and
from the schools, including the number
transported; approximately what pro-
portion of the children educated in the
schools return to the blanket and camp
condition and what can be done to pre-
vent such retrogression and continue
the children in the lines of progress on
wi ich they have entered; and what is
the relative value of the influence Of
the educated youth at home and those
educated away from home in favor of
ending tribal reservation life Of the
Iadian.
Mr.. Jones ARK called attention to
the reply OF the Department of Justice
to bis resolution calling for information
% to the appointment of deputies by
United States Marshal II. NJ. Cooper,
of Arkansas. He said that the reply
was not satisfactory as it did not assign
reasons for the removal of the deputies
of Mr.. Cooper's predecessor. If they
were removed for political reasons, Mir.
Jones said he wanted the department
so to state. He therefore offered an
other resolution directing the Depart
ment of Justice to supply the irtor-
nation.
Mr.. Hale thought this o matter with
which Congress Lad nothing to do.
The resolution was agreed to.
The Vice President then laid before
the Senate the resolution of Mr.. Petit
grew declaring it to be opposed to the
policy of the United States to acquire
Territory, to defend which navy would
be required, which was laid over yes.
yesterday.
Mr.. Hale being satisfied the remarks
the Senator from South Dakota pro-
poaed to make upon the resolution
would infringe upon q subject under
discussion in executive session, said he
would move that the Senate, under rule
35, go into executive session.
Mr.. Pettigrew remarked that he
could as we'll offer his remarks in ex
ecutive session as in open session, and
'if the friends of the Hawaiian treaty
are so tender about the matter" he was
willing to go into executive session.
Mr.. Hale's motion prevailed and the
Senate went into executive session.
