There is a feeling, based upon very
strong hope, that the peace treaty will be
ratified at the time fixed for the vote. The
sentiment of the country in favor Of ratifi-
cation is already very pronounced, and
while much Of it at present stands openly
confessed. moe of it is likely to find voice
in the ten days that remain for discussion.
Senators who record themselves on the
subject, therefore. will do so with clear
understanding Of what the people desire.
With the treaty ratified, the question Of
the future of the Philippines will then be
in order. The cession of the archipelago
by Spain will have been accepted, and SOY
ereignty will inhere in the United States.
Shall the question be taken up ana decided
at once, or be permitted to go over until
next winter when the new Congress assem-
| bles? Less than thirty days of this Con-
gress will then remain, and there will be a
great pressure of other important business.
| 1t is a most important question, and re-
| quires full and carefully gathered inforrna-
| ton before a wise decision may be reached.
The United States will be obliged, in its
/ own interests, to consider the interests of
| others: and others besides the Filipinos.
| II cannot afford TO act upon sentiment
alone. 1t cannot afford to set the Flipinos
up in business for themselves, with no
guaranty but their own assertion of an
ability to take care of themselves as against
| outside powers. The President is sending a
commission to the islands for the informa-
ton he feels that he needs. Would it not
be better for this Congress TO let the matter
go over so that by the meeting time of
| he next Congress the President III his
| recommenda tons may be better equipped
| than he now is?
1t is plain enough that, whenever taken
| up the question is sure to lead to some
sharp divisions. And yet. like the ratifica-
| zion of this treaty now is. it will be a
| national question. and will have to be met
| and decided in a national spirit. Gentlemen
who may be planning to put the President
| in 4 hoe" for political purposes will dis
| cover that that cannot be done without
! putting the country in with him. And who
| ever tries to put the country in hole
| is likely TO hear from the country at the
| polls.

\ National Library Feature.

From the Norwich Comm Bulletin.
The trustees of the public library al Wash
lngLon propose to make state history a
feature of that institution. Mr.. john r.
Mclean is to give to this department of the
library histories of the state of Ohio and of
its counties and its towns. These local
town, county and state histories would
make d tremendous collection of books and
a feature worthy of a national institution
The Washington Star, commenting upon
Mr.. McLeans gift, says:
His example will doubtless be followed by
other men permanently or temporarily resid-
ing mere, who represent the various states
and are able to incur the expense OF ac-
cumulating these volumes. The movement
Is in every way calculated to add richly to
the libraryS usefulness. Washington per-
tainS largely to the local life of all the
states, and its inhabitants are closely con-
cerned in the affairs and records of the
communities from which they came hither.
BY means of a collection such as is pro-
posed and which has been thus started it
viii be possible for the library to furnish
information which, III such an aggregate
could perhaps not be found anywhere else
in the country
This is ali true, and it is to be hoped
that the project viii be successfully car
ried out. Few other libraries in the coun-
try could accomplish such purpose.

| ton these journals are for the ratification
| of the treaty. Some of them. representing
| the sentiment opposed to expansion, urge
| that with the treaty be adopted some form
| of expression pledging the United States to
withdraw ultimately from the Philippines.
| But even this contention is diminishing in
strength as the time for the vote approach
IS. 1t is being recognized more and more
widely that the peace treaty is thing
apart from the countrys permanent policy.
1t is appreciated now, even by those organs
of opposition which a few days ago were
most urgent in suggesting amendment, that
the business now in hand is the acceptance
of the bargain struck at Paris or its re-
lection preferably the former. Notably the
New York World, which has heretofore
been holding up the hands of Senator Cor
man in his fight against ratification, has
now sounded the note of speedy ratfica
ton. 1t is recognized that delay is danger
Gus, depressing to the countrys business
interests and prejudicial TO the republics
international prestige. 1t is felt on all sides
that the serious situation in the Philippines
grows out of the disposition of a few sem
ators to hold the treaty up for revision or
for absolute rejection. Thus the cry which
sounds from all sections and all states,
from republican and democratic and indie
pendent newspapers alike is for ratification
first and argument over the expansion issue
later. But the demand comes not alone
from the press. It sounds from the people
themselves. through their legislatures,
which are now generally in session Scarce
a day passes without the receipt of news
that some legislative body has adopted reso-
buttons declaring either absolutely for eX
pansion or for the immediate ratification of
the treaty. Whether the sentiment be
toward the extension of the American in
fluen"e permanently to the Philippines or
not. the admonition given is that the treaty
must be ratified.

4 Matrimonial Innovation.

1t may be that a new fashion in matri-
mony has been created in the mountain
wilds OF Virginia. Not long ago conely
young woman of that region was wooed by
two suitors. one of whom she preferred.
An engagement and marriage ceremony
followed in due time, despite the adage
about the course of true love not running
smoothly. As an act of grace an invitation
was extended to the rejected swain to at
tend the marriage proceedings. He dis
played his fOrtitude by accepting, and. ac-
companied by a number of friends. he at
tended. On one sleeve he wore broad
band of crepe, symbolic of his dead hopes,
and throughout the ceremony he and his
friends expressed their dolorous sentiments,
by continuous, subdued moaning This
display of appreciation for the brides at
Effectiveness evidently aroused none but the
pleasantest sentiments in the breast of the

VIII Learn Better in Time.
From the London Chronicle.

The government of the United States IS
evidently going to stand no nonsense about
the pacification of the Philippines. Our
Washington correspondent tells us that
four more regiments have been ordered for
immediate embarkation in consequence of
the disturbing reports from Iloilo. But the
evil news is not only from the center of the
group. The natives have so long suffered
under the rule of Spain that they apparent
~ think any strong rule must be tyranny.
OF course, they will learn better in time,
but the Philippines may prove a tougher
job for the United States than the Spanish
Antilles after all. We notice with satisfac-
ton that Captain Montgomerie, C. B.. has
been sent to Iloilo in her maiestys ship
BonaN enture, to look after British inter
ests. He was in company with Admiral
Dewey's squadron during most of the work
at Manila. and he is just the sort Of man
to perceive that the highest British inter-
ests lie in the direction of the speedy estab-
lishment of a reSpof sible government
throughout the islands,

DOn't Forget the Big Game.

The performances of Senior Agoncillo
should not be magnified to obscure those of
American citizens who are in sympathy with
him and who are doing the United States in
finitely more harm than lies in his power.
He came into the country with every right,
and errand entirely legitimate. His
purpose was to try to have the independ-
ence of the Philippine Islands guaranteed
in the treaty of peace between the United
States and Spain. He extended his trip
to Paris with that object in view. He fall
ed of recognition there, as he had already
failed of recognition here. He is still seek
ing recognition. and it is very properly be-
ing denied him. His advisers ought to
convey 10 him, in the choicest Tagalese or
Castilian the information that he is on a
wild goose chase.
The signing of the treaty of Paris has, of
course, changed the whole situation. At
first Senior Agoncillo was visitor asking
favor. He is now visitor seeking to in
terfere with the policy of this government
His attitude is reprehensible and merits
re5uke. But it ought not to be forgotten
that he is acting upon American advice
and that in American senators and repre-
sentatives and in certain American news
papers, he has guides and coadjutors.
Ii there We're no speeches in Congress in
citing Aguinaldo to resistance there would
be nothing for this agent of his to report.
If there We're no vulgar TRADES in news
papers holding the President up to scorn
there would be no reason for foreigners to
doubt him. And, besides Aguinaldo is not
depending on his agent here for his Amer
lean news. The Hales and the Johnsons
are promptly quoted in London and Paris,
and all their unpatriOtic outgivingS are
forwarded also from there.
Senior Agoncillo may hardly be expected
in the circumstances to see the imperti
nence of his attitude or performances. He
is full of his mission, and, moreover, is
being encouraged by men in high office
here. If the heavy artillery is to be ordered
out let it not be trained on a fly. There
are larger targets, and worthier of at
