permit even those who do not favor the
permanent occupation of the Philippines to
refuse to ratify the treaty, which does not
bind the United States to anything more
lasting than peace.
1t is folly to continue to speak of Tex
pansion" being the issue now pending.
The treaty must be ratified before the ques-
tion of expansion can be adjudicated. A
man must own thing before he can legal

territory before it rightfulIy hold 1t or
part with it or administer the affairs of its

Those who now continue to urge the issue

with the treaty some declaration of policy

tnwise Amendments.

The District Commissioners are altogether
right in protesting against the adoption by
the Senate of the amendments of the
House to Senate bill 400 permitting the
receipt OF arrearages OF taxes at per cent
per annum in lieu of penalties and costs
The House advanced by two years the date
fixed upon by the Senate as the limit
closing the period within which this privi-
lege should operate. The Commissioners
believe that this places a premium upon
delinquency. As they have pointed out in
their letter to the Senate District commit
tee, 1t will surely interfere with the col
lection of back taxes this year and will
prove serious handicap upon their efforts
to bring the delinquents to the scratch
They have offered to compromise by fixing
upon July l, 1897, the date covering the
taxes subject TO this privilege, and July j,
1899, Is the limit for this method of pay
ment. 1t Is to be hoped that their recon-
mendations will be accepted. tending as
they do toward a reduction of the evil of
tax delinquency which is so pointedly
served by the amendments of the House.

Reconciliation.

Talk about your dawn of peace!
Your lion and your lamb.
Behold. how gentle moods increase
Where once your Uncle Sam
Looked on in sorrowing dismay
And shuddered at his fate,
Mid fierce sarcasms sent to stray
Through violent debate.
But now earth cannot help but SMILE
When "Cleveland.' Bryan and Carlisle
And Mason Hale and Reed we view
Writ down as comrades staunch and true.
The swords at last to ploWshares turn;
The pinions of the dove
Are plucked TO make the pens which yearn
To trace fraternal love.
Perhaps that long-expected year
For which men hope has come;
Perhaps the world is lingering near
A grand millennium:
For who could ask for promise more
Complete, when Alleged" chimes with
''Hoar?'
Who doubts, when men like these can be
Conjoined in gentle harmony?

The Thersites of the Wabash.

Mr. Johnson of Indiana is precisely in the
right frame of mind to antagonize the
peace treaty and everything connected with
it. He is well satisfied that the people of
the United States-with a single exception
have lost their heads, and are not capable
a. this time of either a just or wise de-
cision. No juryman ever found himself as
ISOLATED with eleven men more shortsighted
or more obstinate. He snears at the coun-
try and its institutions, and says, in sub
stance. that our affairs a home here are
too unsatisfactory and too corrupt to make
it safe or seemly for to attempt to force
our so-called civilization on other people.
If that is true. Mr.. Johnson does not so
far enough. If he is not too severe on his
countrymen, they are in need of little
ciSilization themselves, and should go on
the hunt of it.
Mr.. Johnson champions and eulogizes
Aguinaldo, and speaks for republic in the
Philippines Aguinaldo's only claims to
consideration grow out of his revolt against
Spanish tyranny. And yet that same
tyranny, whel. exercised in Cuba, did not
move Mr.. johnson TO indignation. Eulogies
of Gomez and Garcia-greater men in every
way than Aguinaldo, and far worthier-
never drew handicap from him. The suf-
ferings of Cuba never cost him sigh a
protest. If he had had his way, General
Blanco would be in Havana today. and the
island would still be in the throes of reyo-
luton. He was the Hale of the House dur
ing the whole time the subject of freedom
for Cuba was under discussion there. Can
he reasonably expect thu country to be i'm
pressed now with his tributes to liberty and
those desiring it?
Mr.. johnson insists that assurances of in
dependent government should be given to
the Filipinos now. And yet in the same
breath he predicts that the assurances al
ready given to the Cubans will be violated
that the annexation of that island to the
United States is on the cards and may con-
word OF the Cnited States worth? II the
Cubans have been tricked, is there any pro-
lection for the Filipinos? Why should Con-
gress write a second resolution on the
record when the one now there will convict
it of dishonor?
Mr. Johnson's reasoning places him in
competition as a lOglcian and prophet with
Mr.. Samuel Gompers. The one man insists
that the proposed increase of the army Is
for the purpose Of subjugating the Fill
pinos. The other insists that if the in
crease is made the Fflipinos may be re-
cruited to help subjugate American work
ing men. 1t is hardly worth while how
ever, to balance two opinions SO absurd
and so misc hievouS.

years, however, in that body, with credit

Democrats Should Ratify.


SCFHr'lOH
Democracy will at this time, in our opin-
ion, iTjure itself materially before the
country in prolonging the uncertainty and
leaving affairs with Spain in a state
of virtual war. There Is no question but
an extra session Of Congress will be called
which, with its new republican congress
nan, will be able to ratify the treaty OF
peace regardless of democratic opposition
In fact. the fight now is not against ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty, but annexation
of the Philippines. Senator German is the
dominating power on the democratic side
of the Senate, and has the respect of his
colleagues, and he favors defeat of the
treaty, but he will be retired March 4
and it is a useless waste of time now and
an injury to the party as well as the ma
ton to scotch the treaty at this time.

Guide the peace.
The democratic minority OF the Senate
will make great mistake if ii pursues the
course said to have been mapped cut by
Senator German. The peace treaty as il
stands, does not commit Congress to any
definite policy regarding the Philippines
and the proposed amendment really makes
no vital change in that respect. 1t is GER
tainly not worth while, from any rational
