not even the administration itself.
Still, this is not a valid excuse for
fighting ratification. 1t were better to
humor the president than to shame the
country to shame him. The party ad-
vantage to be derived from such oppo-
sition is questionable. German would
better follow the broad and patriotic
counsel of Mr.. Bryan. Both of them
are opposed to territorial expansion.
But Mr.. Bryan's advice is to ratify the
treaty; rid the nation of Spain alto
gether; relieve the administration of
the embarrassment of delay; and then
to act upon the policy of expansion.
Whatever one may think of imperial
ism or constitutional limitations, the
treaty should be ratified. and prompt

United States be free TO act without

advisable.

AS the play progressed, what was at
first the demonstration of her friends,
grew to be a recognition of her art.

so amazingly like his father in ap-

also wonderfully close to his fathers

compliment, 1 take it. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that Mr.. Mayo is at present
suffering from a cold, which has some

"BUT THERE is NO PEACE"

Count Muravieff, the Russian minis
ter Of foreign affairs, has published a
list of items to be considered at the
approaching peace conference of the
powers. It is claimed that many Of
them are not only ~infeasible, but some
Of them are actually absurd.
There is a prohibition of the inven-
ton of any new weapon or explosive, a
restriction upon the use of existing
high explosives, an exclusion of sub
marine boats and a proposal to limit
the action Of rams to harbor defense
Since these are to be the terms of a
universal q agreement there will be
no such agreement made. Russia would
prohibit the employment of many of the
most effective engines of modern war;
fare. Russia would bar ingenuity and
rely upon a logged and determined
force Of numbers and power OF endur-
ance to win the battles she may fight.
These alone would be necessary in a
conquest of China. Only skill might
hope to cope with her great army of
rugged men in the inevitable conquest
Of central and eastern Asia.
The claws of the bear may be seen.
It is better TO see than TO feel them.
Russia wants peace until the transit
berian railroad is completed and the
discarding of arms she does not happen
to have.
But there are the selfish plans of the
other powers which also stand in the
way Of universal peace and partial dis
armament. France would doubtless
consent, after the recovery of Alsace-
Lorraine. Germany is in favor of any
thing so the kaiser can get a slice of
Austria and a foothold in the Pacific
just before the contract becomes eff
fectiye. England may favor a great re-
duction Of land forces to be maintained
in proportion to population, but not the
abandonment OF a single warship. The
United States is a peace-maker among
nations, but the completion of her new
navy and a reorganization Of the army
could not be interfered with by this
peace scheme of the car.
And so it goes There will be nc
peace On earth. There may be good
viii to men but it will break out like
the chickenpox-in spots.

cANNoN's SMOOTH SCHEME.

For several days past Senator Can
mons campaign managers and close
personal friends have been exhibiting
more confidence than the circumstances
seemed to warrant. The cause is now
apparent.
They have been counting upo Demo-
cratic and Republican support, hoping
that a deadlock would continue until
their plans matured.
But it is hardly likely that any Il
toriaI candidate will be able to run the
gauntlet of the present legislature with
a bucket Of water upon either shoulder.
If Senator Cannon has returned to
the Republican fold, as is reported, he
can scarcely hope to receive Demo
cratic votes. 1t would be strange, in
deed, if he should be able to retain all
of his present following under such
conditions. Neither is it likely that
Republicans viii accept this deathbed
repentance, this eleventh hour recanta-
ton, without wondering what it all
means.
While it is a very neat little play and
reflects great credit upon the scheming
ability of his supporters, it is rather
chimerfcaI. a trick like this is neces-
sarily based upon the mistaken as
sumption that members of the Iegisla-
ture have never been to town before.

UNWISE OPPOSITION.

According to press dispatches, SEN
atOr Davis was shown a list of thirty
six senators the other day, every one
OF whom was pledged to vote against
the ratification Of the peace treaty.
Senator Davis thereupon declared that
he would not consent to a vote upon
the question until ne had thoroughly
satisfied himself hat it could be rati-
fed.
He consulted with some Of the sena-
tors whose names were on the list. and
was Informed that the treaty might
be ratified if its friends consented to an
amendment or a resolution declaring
it to be the purpose Of the United
States to maintain permanent sover-
eighty in the Philippine islands. SEN
ator Davis declined TO accede to this
proposition, saying that he would pre-
fer to have the treaty go over until
another session.
The opposition.having found a leader
in Senator German, feels confident of
its ability to postpone action on the
treaty, which may necessitate the as
sembling Of congress in special session.
There are several reasons to believe
that both the friends and the foes of
ratification, from entirely different mo-
tives, however, have made up their
minds TO defer consideration of the
matter during the present session of
congress.
If the president had any defined pol
icy concerning the Philippines, it is
certain that a better understanding
could be reached. But 70 one seems to

THEY WERE NOT RIVALS.

The Chicago Times-Herald makes the
mistake Of referring to the Samoan
rebel chief, Mataafa, as the old-time
rival of Malietoa." True, President Nc
Kinley, in his message of last Decem-
Der, made a similar observation, but
history shows that it vas nevertheless
a mistake. Mr.. Mckinley, referring to
American interests in Samoa, incident
ally said:
whether the death of Malietoa and
the return of his old-time rival, Mataa-
IA, will add to the undesirable corlDli-
cations which the execution of the tri-
partite general act has heretofore de-
veloDed remains to be seen"
When the Germans seized old Male
toa upon a truinped up charge of lese
majestic and deported him to an Afric-
AZ province, the last request Of the old
king was for his people TO rally round
his best friend-Mataafa. Before the
marines seized him to drag him from
crown or emblem of regal authority,
and with his own hands bestowed it
uoon Mataafa. with his blessing.
There was no old-time rivalry there.
Malietoa trusted Mataafa like a brother
and their affection was a part of the
poetry of the people of the southern
sea.
When Malietoa was restored to the
Samoan throne, it was over his own
earnest protest. He was too old, he
claimed, and he wanted Mataafa, his
friend, his companion, the one to whom
he had given the crown, to have and
to hold it. But German diplomacy
could not be reconciled to Mataafa. His
rule had been too just. His mercy to
them had heaped upon their heads the
Goals of fire that heated UP their
brains.
So Mataafa was exiled by these same
German acknowledgement to the
Marshall islands where, on his lonely
%sandbank, innocent, friendless and dis
c%ouraged, he dreamed of the luxuriant
orchards of his native isle and nined
for the voices of his people.
All this time Malietoa was king, in
name only, a poor old broken-hearted
pa;n-wracked man, who lived in a lit
tie hut on the beach of Apia, calling for
his lifelong friend Mataafa to return
and comfort him.
Then Malietoa died. The people de-
manded that Mataafa be returned to
them. a faction presented the claims
of the old kings little son-Malietoa
Tanu. The chief justice to whom, ac-
eording to the treaty of Berlin the
claims of each were presented. decided
in favor CT the child. The people re-
belled. There is war on the islands
nov.
And for all the horrors, n the de-
vastation, and the discomfort, misery,
famine, anarchy. the German consul
and tradezmen are to blame. And there
is trouble yet in store. Warships are
hurrying to the scene. There are bonn
bardments, and bloodshed, and calam-
tiles, inevitable. Out of the Berlin con-
vention OF 1889 these horrors have
come, because the agreement of the
powers then made was ~abrogated by
the subsequent acquiescence of England
and the United States in the German
degradation of Mataafa.

ROBERT BURNS.

The impress of great minds is infinite
and eternal They live for no single
age; they are of no exclusive cline.
Their cons are eternity, and the infu-
ence Of their work is proportional only
to their opportunities.
If a great man live a wicked life, de-
voted to the laudation of vice and the
establishment of shame, despite the
grandeur of his intellect, the inspiring
thoughts and lofty ambitions which ma
ture ever gives TO man. that life will
be an unhappy failure to himself and
to mankind.
Such was Byron, and his genius, per-
verted so ignObly, leading in its cynic-
ism the wayward world by the mere
teaching of an illustrious example, to a
tolerance Of vice and a skepticism Of
virtue, might make one pray that he
had never lived.
Centuries viii not eradicate the in
fuence Of Byron upon English society
and English thought.
Such again was Napoleon. He freed
the world Of many political decisions,
it is true, yet taught European poll
tics, that was already beginning to
broaden. the despotic policy of Caesar
ism.
When greatness is cojoined with
goodness Of heart and Ioftiness Of mind,
its influence Will outIive and over
shadow every weakness of the flesh.
This is the coalsummation of human
grandeur.
Burns outranks Byron in literature,
not because of an ascendant genius,
for he had it not; but because his
thoughts are Ioftier, his poetry is purer,
and his purpose was higher. His own
worst enemy, Robert Burns had a
heart swelling with love for the world
and for mankind, and the memory Of
such q man leaves no effect but simple
good.
Nothing in all his work was left to
mar the truths he wlote, the good he
wrought. His page is clear Of male
violence. Shaded here and there by some
frailty, by some weakness OF viii, the
record Of his career is yet as pure and
clear as fallen man might hope to make.
The heritage he left humanity is such
tina no defense is necessary. no apoi-
ogy needed for his sins, no excuse for
his mistakes. The world was a gamer
for his having lived, mankind the richer
for his work.
His ambitions were unselfsh, as
when, a barefoot boy but eight years
old, he stood beside his howell home,
surrounded by a wilderness of draw
backs, n to Heaven breathed this
poetic prayer:
That : fer poor old S~cotland's sake
Some useful plan or book could make
or sing a song at least.
He was the child of penury and Hit
eracy. If ne did not much, his
were few. He wrote from what he
saw and not from what he read. He
was eminently a poet Of nature. Of
classic lore and ancient themes his
stock was seant. It was barren of
every luxury in fact. His poems treat
of plain, familiar things, and were writ
ten in the then rough dialect of his ma
tive tongue.
His life, rich as it was to others, was
a failure to himself. He lived almost
~unnoticed, and died almost unknown.
He was only famous after death. With.
= lofty mind, a tender heart, and the
largest soul in al Great Britain he went
through life as he began-a simple Ayr
SHIRE plowman.
But his whole being was so repIete
with harmony and SO near to nature
