AS TO THE TREATY.

Every American citizen should hope i for the ratification of the Spanish ] treaty. It's prompt acceptance is a duty
 the people owe themselves. The treaty : is not conclusive as to the future pol icy relat ng to the Philippines, and that ! feature alone is the only obstacle that : stands in the way. The opposition is an unfair and an unreasonable op-
 position. In reference to the status Of ! the treaty, should it be rejected on ] February $, the Washington correspon- dent of the Philadelphia Evening Tele- | graph makes this explanation: l If a vote is had and the two-thirds is not secured, the responsibility for what i follows will rest upon those who should bear it. But the leaders do not believe that the treaty will fail They think that when it comes to vote sev- eral senators who are now talking in
 opposition will vote for the treaty. It is conceded that the opposition have thirty-five or thirty-six senators on the list who have declared their opposition to the treaty, but the claim is made that about seven of these, if not more,
 will probably vote for the treaty when it comes to the test
 But should the treaty fail of the nee. essary two-thirds, it would not end the matter. It is mistaken impression that the treaty would thereby be re- jected finally.
 It would simply have failed of ap- provaP' and would remain subject to reconsideration at this session or con- sideration at an extra session. No grave risk is taken in venturing a vote If not 6nOnUh N0toc tn Tafifu were secured, some senator fayoring the treaty would change his vote and then move 3 reconsideration, and this reconsideration would remain pending until disposed of. It would take a ma jOrity to table the motion to recon slider, and the majority has not so many. But even if the treaty failed of the votes and the president were noti- ned or that fact, without a reconsider ation, 1t is held that this action would not be final unless the president ac- cepted it as such and So notified Spain He might, it is held withdraw the treaty from this senate and send it to the next at an extra session, and there it would be ratified.
 Thus the opponents of the treaty are in the attitude of simply postponing ac- ton and making the task of the ad- ministration moro and more difficult If the treaty, as has been understood by most people, was finally disposed of by rejection, the crisis would be aggra- vated. But if the treaty simply holds over as unfinished business the strain is continued and no good end is accom- pished. In the meantime we are still observing an armistice and the war would not be officially ended That be- ing the condition the president would have it within his power, and it would be one of his recognized functions. to proceed upon basis of war But the treaty should be ratified without any more nonsense.

THE SUBSIDY SCHEME DEAD.

In the assembly yesterday the bill
 providing for a subsidy of $4OO apiece 1 for the daily papers of Phoenix for
 printing the legislative proceedings
 met the death it deserved by the de-
 cisive vote of 19 to 5. Just why there should he an attempt to vote money from the public treasury to subsidise the daily press of Phoenix for doing that which papers are established to dO-print the neWs-is beyond our comprehension. Even granting that reason existed in the pioneer days of the territory for paying he papers of the capital city fer printing the Iegis- lative proceedings, surely no reason for such q course exists now.
 The proceedings Of the legislature are matter ofnews and every paper of the territory is necessarily bound to pub fish them. Not only the routine pro- ceedings, but every committee jaunt and party caucus is subject of news If the members doubt this let them go into executive session for a few days and then see what a rustling among the dry bones of the subsidy seeking press there will be to procure an ac- count of the executive sessions. It is the province of a newspaper to print the news. That is primarily the ob- ject of it's existence It pays out hundreds and thousands Of dollars to secure the news and this then becomes its stock in trade to invite the public to patronize it. That a paper should be paid by legislature for printing the news and then collect pay from it's readers for furnishing this same news is prepcsterous and ridiculous. Con- gross might with as much proprfety vote a subsidy for the papers of Wash ington for printing the proceedings of congress.
 The members of the assembly are to be commended for break ing away From this vicious sys- tenn of voting away the peoples money for that which has nothing to com mend it.

WILLIAMS FUTURE RANK.

Officials in Holland arg at present en- gaged in settling the future rank and precedence Of Prince William, the queen of Hollands fance. It. is inn probable that the prince will be created q, king consopt, the last parsonage who bore that title having been the grand father Of the present king of Portugal, who was a member of the Hungarian branch of the Saxe-C -CobUrg-Gotha family and a first cousin of the queen and of Prince Albert It is expected that Prince William will be natural ized in Holland, and that the queen will then issue letters patent declaring him to be member Of the Dutch royal fam fly, and giving him the precedence due to his position. The Dutch experts in constitutional law are believed to be in favor of following the precedent which was created in 1S40 when the queen married Prince Albert under pre- cisaly similar circumstances. A re- gency bill will have to be passed df rectly after the queens marriage and, if the English precedent of 1840 is fol- lowed, Prince William will be named regent if Queen Wilhelmina dies leav- ing children-St. James Gazette.

NEW coLoRED lHANDKERCH1EFs.

Colored handkerchiefs are really coming into vogue again, it seems. It is So reported every now and then, and they are to be seen in the shops, but women are actually beginning to carry them now The handkerchief itself generally is of fine white linen, but it is embroidered in colors. A pretty de- sign has wreath somewhat larger than silver dollar embroidered in two colors in one corner. Violets, forget me-nots, daisies and arbutus, in their natural coloTs, have first place in these designs. Other pretty handl1erchiefs have single flowers scattered all over them or arranged so as to form broad border inside Of the narrow hem. Handllerchiefs of pale blue, pink, green or lilac linen, checked with contrast ing shade, are considered quite smart with sporting costumes.

Europe indulges in it, but when Ameri- cans indulge in it it sounds like gab- ble Europe wants no union anywhere of English and American interests, and least of all in the east. But 1n the I1g1t of recent history and as matters now stand, why should any American pro- test against the good feeling which draws England and the United States so cordially togsther:
 So far as England is concerned it l would serve her interests very well for the United States to retain the island of LuzOn and let the rest of the archi- | pelagO slide. That would insure the l United States fer a ne;ghbor, and at the same time give England a. chance to secure foothold in the Philippines herself. Her eyes are fxsd on China, where she wants the trade door kept open, and where the United States also wants an open door. 1t would be i'm possible for the United States to extend England a friendly hand in the east without receiving hearty and a help ing hand in return. It is net a case of cat's-paW at all, and could not be made one
 The United States did not go to Ma n:la at England's suggestion, and it has no idea of remaining there solely for
 
 course, and should be, that matters are in such shape that England's interests will be subserved along with it's own by the presence lof the stars and stripes in that part of the word. The English admiral in the bay of Manila was very friendly when Admiral Dewey was be- ing pesteTed by the German admiral, and in Europe during the war. Eng lands open sympathy with the United States kept itching hands quiet which otherwise would probably have been busy in Spain's behalf England has richly earned, therefore, anything we now may do for her in doing for our selves.
 The duty in the Philippines. what ever it may be, is one that the United States owes first to itself It did not go there without good cause, and it cannot retire at loss of dignity and self re- specE-Washingt Star

A WAR EPIGRA9I LUNCHEON.

PENSION FOR GENERAL PALMER

The pension policy of the govern mant has been So extremely liberal that nobody but 9 Pinchbeck economist would think of opposing the bill which has been introduced to place John M. Palmer on the rolls. The general has never been and is not now a claimant, but his claims are superior to those of most active petitioners. It is pleasant to remember that he first became con- spicu3Es as a champion of the prtrci- pies for which the war was fought when this championship brought down upon him the wrath of the most power ful leaders of his party. Here we dis cover the keynote to his career. He was 9 patriot first and 2 partisan after ward
 When the rebellion broke out he went to the front and served with dis tinction, and his influence and example were of great value to the country, for it was such men as he who proved that party name could not be wholly de- based to the service of disloyalty. 'Palmer's heart was always right" :" says Senator CUllom in an honest and generous tribute to his old friend. He is democrat, but he stood for liberty and for the black man. I remember when he came home from the Atlanta Cct1i PdlGli SICK o1u SOT6 dIu 4Id-ll4y GlD.G to walk. He had a coIored servant, and was indicted for bringing 9 black man into the state Of Illinois, when in fact the black man brought him.
 That his vigorous constitution re- covered, that he 1as able for many years thereafter to lead an active and strenuous life does not destroy the eff feet of this feminisceEce, now that he is old and feeble and Incapable of work ing longer at his profession. Senator Cullom speaks in just the right spirit. the spirit that should animate con- gcess and the country. T know he declares, that General Palmer is as much entitled to a pension as others who are now on the rolls and I will do all can to get it for him."
 It is nos party question, but ques- tion of gratitude to a man who has himself put principle above party Chicago Times-Herald

PUNISHMENT OF ARMED ROBBERS


 There is much to be said on both sides Of the proposition to inftict capi- tai punishment upSn armed robbers. The crime which has inspired the bill that is to be introduced at Springfield is 8 strong argument for such a meas uTe. The men who went into Fred Junl1ers store did so with the deliber- ate purpose of committing murder should that be necessary to attain their ends. In their case it did become nec- essary.
 Any man who arms himself for the purpose of robbery is indirectly plan ming murder Like any other prospect i've murderer, he will commit that crime if the conditions are just right, and if he continues in the business he will almost surely kill some one in the course of time. Under the circun- stances it is wrong to consider his case from the point or view of results ac- complished. It is immaterial whether he succeeds in getting away with 50 cents or $50,G00 so far as the enornity of his Offense is concerned The point is that he was prepared to murder, that it is a mere matter of luck, that he did not, and that he should be punished more severely than for any crime in which human life is not endangered, re- gardless of the value of the property involved.
 Whether the punishment in such case should be hanging is a debatable question. The possession of a weapon by the man who commits a crime, how ever, ought to add materially to the penalty he incuIs. It should be con- siderad prima facie evidence Of an in tent to kiI.-Chicago Post.
