A SERIOUS MATTER.

It will be really Q serious thing to vote against treaty os peace. Writers of history may net be charitable in drawing their conclusions and we be- ieve that those senators who vote against the treaty of Paris may find themselves in a minority as disagree able as it is conspicuous. This is not denying that there are two sides to the question of retaining soyeI eighty in the Philippines. It merely denies that 1t is patrioie to bid a s ate of war to re- turn and that ratification can be op- posed by wise patriot. Let us settle our domestic quarrels at home and not disgrace the nation in the eyes of the whole civilized world. = Providence Journal
