THE SPElKERsHIP.
Application of the Unit Rule in tho West.


To THE EDITOR OF THE suS-Sir: Tho re-
cent action OF the Wisconsin Congress dele
cation in deciding to vote as unit for Gen.
Henderson OF Iowa although prior to the day
OF its meeting Mr.. Hopkins OF Illinois had the
verbal and written pledges OF q majority ofthat
delegation In his behalt-has received undue
prominence as Indicating the sentiment and
purpose OF Western Republican members in
regard to the contest for Speaker OF the next
House.
II Is apparent that the West Ia TO be sub
stantialy solid In behalf OF the two western
candidates. Messrs. Henderson and Hopkins.
while. so far as now appears. the Eastern and
Middle States are not to be solid for Mr.. Sher-
man. There are other candidates In the East.
but no pane yet suggested or presented Is re-
garded very seriously. SO far as Is now known
Mr.. Sherman has the support OF at least two
thirds OF the New York delegation. while Penn
sylvania is divided between Mr.. Dalzell and
Mr.. Bingham. with the full knowledge that the
candidacy OF neither gentleman Is serious. 1t
is perfectly understood that Mr.. Bingham Is In
the field as the Quay candidate to head off Mr..
Dalzell.
As illustrating the mutations In political life.
1t is significant that the Republican members
OF the Wisconsin delegation in the Fifty-nrst
| Congress voted as q unit in the caucus for Mr.
Reed OF Maine
1t Ia positively known that the original choice
Of three members OF the present Wisconsin
delegation was Mr.. Sherman. while three others
were for Mr.. Hopkins. and yet the curious
spectacle Is presented OF that delegation So
lldifying In secret session for Gen. Henderson
Of Iowa.
1t may be that this is the proper way to elect
Speaker. by establishing the unit rule COM

TRY POSE

The Tribune calls attention to its
own deformities in the following:
when a journal like The Herald
Stimulates indignation over a caution to
legislators against possible attempts to
corrupt them, then one of two conclu-
sions is irresistible-either hat it fears
there will not be enough to go round,
or that its left hand is not posted as to
what its W right hand is doing"
To paraphrase this rather ocular re-
mark of a somewhat hysterical neigh
Dor, attention is called to its ridicu-
lous pose as a moralist.
When a journal like the Tribune sim
ulates a virtuous Indignation over
what it describes as immortality among
the leading churchmen of the state
When it raises its paws in holy hor-
ror at the idea Of a Utah legislature
being above corruption
When it %pretends to be a church.
saver, a s-tate-saver, a party-saver-
When it mutters about some one
stealing the robes of the Vestal vir-
GIN" as if those robes were its very
own
When it gives its laughable imitation
of Peter the Hermit preaching a new
crusade
When it strikes the attitude of a
moral paragon
1t is a pity that it can't walk around
and get a real view of itself.
Radicals laughed such reformers out
OF countenance four hundred years ago.

He gave us all a goodbye cheerily
At the first dawn of day;
We dropped him down the side full drear-
lily
When the light died away
It's a dead dark watch that he's a-keep-
ing there,
And a long, 0 night that lags a-creep-
ing there.
Where the trades and the tides roll over
him
And the great ships go by.
He's there alone with green seas rocking
For a thousand miles round:
He's there alone with dumb things mock
ing him,
And we're homeward bound.
It's a long. lone watch that he's a-keep-
ing there,
And a dead cold night that lags a-creep-
ing there,
While the months and the years roll over
him
And the great ships go by.
I wonder if the tramps come near enough
As they thrash to and fro,
II the battleships' bells ring clear
enough
To be heard down below;
If through all the one watch that he's "a
keeping there.
And the long. cold night that lags "a
creeping there,
The voices of the sailornensshaH comfort
When the great ships so by.

LOOKS LIKE AN AGREEMENT.

If the house is inclined to be as rea-
sonable in its treatment of the canal
question as the senate was, the Nicar-
aguan canal bill will become a law
within a short time.
There were only six votes recorded
against it in the senate. 1t would be
interesting to know how Speaker Reed
feels about it in order to form an esti-
mate on the probable outcome in the
house. II is an important measure, not
alone because of its national signif-
canoe, but on account Of certain inter-
national complications aroused.
There was some ak of an isthmian
canal as early as 1925. It's Importance
was discussed and only the poverty Of
the republic prevented aggressive ac-
ton at that early day. In 1885, Presi-
dent jackson investigated the feasibil-
ity Of the project. The following year
the treaty was made with New Gran
ada, in which that government guar
anteed the right of way or transit
/ across the Isthmus of Panama upon
any modes of communication that now
exist or tina may be hereafter con-
structed."
But the naticn was not ready yet for
work. As nothing had been done to
hold the concession, another treaty was
made in 1S49 with Nicaragua.
On the 18th Of April, 1850, the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty was signed, binding
the United States and Great Britain
to recognize the rights of each other
as set forth in that famous document.
1t was a diplomatic deal in which this
republic seemed TO get decidedly the
worst of it, although judging from Z
London dispatch printed this morning,
the British government is not disposed
TO take advantage of it.
The London Daily News of yester-
day, in q leading editorial, said:
THE Clayton-Bulwer treaty is a
singular document, signed by a weak
American administration in peculiar
circumstances, and for Lord Salisbury
to insist upon its unconditional observ-
ance now would be neither gracious nor
wise"
AS a consideration of this treaty has
a a bearing on the question in every
congressional dlSCuSSlOu concerning the
canal proposition, a synopsis of the
instrument may be of particular inter-
est at this juncture. In substance the
treaty provides:
1. Neither government will ever OBJ
tain or maintain for itself any exclu-
sive control owe the said s~hio-canal';
nor erect or maintain any Notifications,
"or occupy, or fortify, or ~colonize, or
assume, or exercise any dominion over
Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito
Coast, or any part of Central America;
nor make use Of any protection which
either affords or may afford, or any al
lance which either has or may have to
or with any state or people, which shall
not be offered on the same terms to the
2 Vessels of both countries. in case
of war between them, shall, while trav-
ersing the canal, or at such a distance J
