MERRlAM's REPORT.
He Throws All the Blame on the Idaho
Authorities

Washington, Oct. 1S.-The report of
General Merriam upon the Idaho riots
was made public this afternoon. Mer-
RAM disclaims all responsibility for the
order refusing employment to union men
in the mines. He says this regulation
was drawn by the state authorities and
his only connection with it was to liberal
lie certain of its provisions, after which
he placed his name at the bottom with
the words examined and approved" He
says 1t was not his intention that his
troops should have any part in debating
the condition of labor in Idaho and they
never did so.
The other point he makes is that the
prisoners OF whom at one time there
were more than 400, We're improperly
cared for until he had called the attention
OF the state authorities to the matter,
after which their condition was materially
improved,

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY.


The treaty of peace, which was ratified by
the Senate yesterday, was received by that
body from the President Jan. ), upon the re-
assembling of Congress after the holidays.
That is, the treaty was in the hands Of the
Senate a full month before a vote was
reached. 1t is said that If a vote had been
taken at once the treaty would have been
ratified by a decided vote. senators gener-
ally conceding that ratification was the only
thing to be done. The so-called anti-im-
perial movement has failed to meet any re-
Spouse from the people. Unfortunately,
Colonel Bryan, just from the wars, assumed
the role of sole adviser to the Democratic
party, including Democratic senator's. He
visited Washington and publicly advised
Democratic senators to vote for the treaty
while opposing annexation. Senator, and
soon 10 be ex-senator German, as it is re-
ported, took offense at the interference OF
Colonel Bryan, and to show his power, in
augurated a movement hostile to the advice
of Colonel Bryan, to defeat the treaty.
Thereupon the opposition sprung up. Demo-
cratic senators, as a body, were arrayed
against the treaty under the adroit manipu-
lation of Mr.. German. At first, the German
men wished to amend the treaty. Then
they concluded they could defeat it as a
plain issue, and after many delays agreed
to have the vote taken on Feb. 6. Looking
at the result at the present time, there is
reason TO believe that if the vote had been
taken any day last week, ratification would
have been defeated. Aguinaldo's attack at
Manila, Saturday night, probably gave the
treaty three votes, If not more. Thus did
1.-THE Washington of the Philippines defeat
his friends in the Senate.
There is reason to believe that nothing
but the jealousy of Senator German, which
made the defeat of the treaty a sort of
party measure, prevented ratification as
early as the middle of January. Had the
treaty been ratified two weeks after it was
sent to the Senate, Aguinaldo would not
have made the attack of Saturday night
upon the United States army at Manila. 1t
now appears, and probably ample evidence
will be forthcoming to show that the attack
was advised by Agoncillo, because the rati-
cation of the treaty would fail. No one will
charge the opponents of the treaty with adj
vising Aguinaldo's agent, but he was made
much of by them and naturally accepted
their views regarding popular sentiment. and
their views. transmitted to Aguinaldo, led
him to assume the offensive.
The treaty ratified, the war with Spain is
over and the Congress. not the President,
can formulate such a policy in regard to
the future of the Philippines as the best in
terests of the United States and the Fill
pinos may Indicate.

There should be no hesitation and no dis
cussion of legal technicalities or minor de-
tails. There has been too much of these
already. 1t has strengthened and encour-
aged the enemies of the United States and
will continue to do so if prolonged. What is
needed is prompt, vigorous. aggressive ac-
ton. We should not make any more mis-
takes on the side of leniency or slowness in
acting. AS Mr.. Porter truly says, There

From what the Sentinel said yesterday

The pitchfork was the weapon with which
the British were killed during the revolu-
