What might have been done in Spain
weeks ago has been accomplished by
the mere signing of name to docu-
ment which brings peace between Spain
and the United States. The queen re-
gent of Spain took matters in her own
hands and yesterday signed the treaty
of peace which was ratified by the
United States senate.
The result is that now peace actually
exists between the two countries and as
soon as the formalities are gone through
with between the authorized represen-
tative Of the Spanish government at
Washington. the Mexican minister, and
our state department, diplomatic rela-
lions between the two late enemies can
be resumed.
This is the end of the chapter of re-
markable history, so far as the beliger-
ent powers are concerned, which has
been made within the past year. War
no longer exists between recognized
governments. With the suppression Of
the Instruction in the Philippines, and
the carrying out finally Of the terms OF
the treaty, peace will reign supreme,
wherever the American and Spanish
flags float.

She StuGs Dates.

At st. Louis girl, Miss Catherine
Denny. who found about year ago
that she would need to hustle around
and take care Of herself, hit on a plan
that was easy. required little capital
and has proved enormously successful.
Years ago friend Of. her mothers
brought from India the recipe for the
stuffed dates prepared for the rajah Of
the city where she resided. The recipe
was often used by the family, and Miss
Denny. at her mothers suggestion, con-
cluded to sell some Of the dainty con-
lection. She went to n retail dealer
in the city, who referred her to whole
saler, who had been inquiring for Just
such sweetmeats. He proposed that
Miss Denny supply him with dates
stuffed with English wulnuts. and gave
her Immediately all the work she could
do: In fact, more than she could do.
The little building was fitted up. and
the work done on a large scale. There

A New Party Problem.


The Washington Star, which is politi-
cally an independent paper. presents
what 1t calls "a problem for both par
ties" and shows its relative Importance
as presented TO both Democrats and Re-
publ!cans. The Stars views are inter-
esting. The question Is: Should dele
gates from the states which rarely-and
some Of them never-contribute cleo,
toral votes to q party be permitted to
go into national convention. and, by
combination or otherwise, dictate the
party's platform and presidential can
didate?" The solution OF this problem
affects the Democracy somewhat more
than 1t does the Republican party, for
various reasons-that Is. 1t is more vital
as bearing on the future success OF the
former than upon the latter organiza-
rion.
The Star points out that as presented
to the Republican party the question
has reference to the situation in some Of
the southern states. In certain states
IN the south there is practically no Re-
publican party. This Is due to the fact
that. and the Intel!!gencer n few days
ago noted 1t in referring to Louisiana's
election law. Republican voters, 4 very
large proportion OF them at least, are
disfranchised. and ell political affairs
are completely in the hands OF the other
party. Should the Republican party
adopt such a rule IN the matter OF
choosing presidential candidate and
platform It would amount 10 no embar-
rassment, since. In tho convention OF
1900. there IS not apt {. be contest
against the renominatio| Of Mckinley.
But our Washington contemporary sees
IN the problem Il question Of great and
immediate Importance" to the Demo-
cratic brethren. The reason thereto. is
thus given:
The Democratic faith aI professed in
Democratic states Is contained In the
Chicago platform. The demand In those
states Is for rcaiGrmation Of that
platform next year. But the Demo-
crazy In the Republican strongholds OF
New England. Pennsylvania and. as
matters now stand. New York and New
Jersey, Is organizing TO oppose this pro-
grnmme. and. II possible. to force the
writing Of new platform and the re-
tl.errcnt Of Hr. Bryan from leadership.
Mr.. Bryan and his friends, are natur-
ally, Indignant ut this. They Insist that
the candidate and the platform must be
considered soIely with regard to those
states 10 which the party looks for sue
cess Mt the, polls. Why undertake to
shape q campaign In accordance with
the wlEhcs Of party managers ln'states
where the Democracy may not hope 10
secure Il single electoral vote next year:
where local sentiment Is Against the
Democracy. and. for the pre2cnt, at
least. unnlterably s0y
While there Is good political logic in
all this, there are other ways e. look ut

tages to he gained by any faction. The

WHEELING, MARCH is, $500.
The Philippine Situation.

AS the campaign in the Philippines
proceeds two or three things are nppar-
ent which serve to show that there We're
many exaggerations INDUCED in few
weeks and months ago. The very ma
ture OF the daily news from Manila
shows that the American troops are
meeting with few obstacles. that the
climate is not so bad as was represent
ed. and that the Filipino warriors are
far from strong and much fewer in
number than reported. 1t will not do to
depreclate the Importance Of the rebel
lion. but 1t is we'll enough to abandon
the sensational exaggerations which
have been SO prevalent and which OIL
cial advices do not confirm. Taken
altogether, aside from the loss of life
that has occurred. the news from Ma
Mia has been gratifying. AS to the
number and power of the Filipinos, it is
manifested daily that some publications
that have been made We're largely over
drawn. The New York Tribune says:
we we're lOIu llal lue NllOle HlplIlO
people. united and harmonious. with q
well-orgaHized. free and enlightened
republican government. We're resolved
TO resist TO the death any attempt Of
this wicked nation TO usurp their llber-
ties. Instead, 1t is now made indubita-
bly, evident that only 4 small part of one
tribe OF them, numbering the merest
fraction OF the whole, is disaffected, and
that 1t has no government worthy Of the
naE:e. and actually no responsible head,
for the ostensible leaders are continual
~ declaring that they are forced for.
ward by the people. while the people
say with equal vehemeEce that they are
forced into their action by the leaders.
What the United States has to con-
tend with is not the Filipino people, but
few alleged petty leaders and they do
not represent one-tenth the population
OF the islands. The trouble they are
giving US will be short-lived. for. as the
Tribune says, ''the men who could chase
North American Indians for thousand
miles over mountains and deserts, and
finally subdue them. are not to be
batIied by half breed Malays with tas-
selled walking sticks"

Gov. Eooscyclt's Righteous order

Gov. I,ooscycit's, Righteous Order.
Governor Roosevclt's direction to the
warden OF Sing Sing prison to make the
execution Of the death penalty in the
case of Mrs. Place as unsensational as
possible, and particularly to bar out
special correspondents of newspapers,
permitting the attendance only Of the
representatives OF the two conservative
press associations, was n righteous or
der. His reason for this order, that he
desired that the solemn and painful act
Of justice should not be made an excuse
for that species of hideous sensational
ism. which Is more demomllzIng than
anything else In the world" Is q timely
rebuke to a class of public journals that
ara disgrace to tho country. and cater
to the morbid and demorallzed tastes
that they themselves have corrupted.
The simple details of such an event
are revolving enough. and the governor
OF New York has set good example to
the governors Of other states in giving
instructions to minimize the danger
Of sensationalism in connection with so
solemn a proceeding. One of the good
things done by the recent session Of the
West Virginia legislature was to abolish
public hansings, and to provide that
the death penalty hereafter shall be
conducted within the walls OF the state
penitentiary and privately, prescribing
the limit of attendance to the necessary
officials and few others whose rela-
tlonship to the condemned might entitle
them TO be present. 1t was good
move, considering the dlsgraceful
scenes which have occurred on several
occasions at public hanglngs in certain
parts Of the state.
