Ex-senator Sherman has probably indicated
the keynote Of whatever opposition there may
be in the senate to the ratification of the
peace treaty. He thinks it is asbsurd to pay
Spain 10000, 600 for the Philippines. and init
mates that, If he were a member OF the SEN
ate, he would work against the ratification
ON that ground Very little has been said
about this provision in the forecasts that
have been made as to the fate of the treaty
in the senate, and 1t does not seem to have
been taken seriously into the account but
there is no other point Of opposition so seri-
GUS as this, except the actual taking OF the
Philippines. How much opposition may de-
velop on the subject of paying for the islands
is still problem There may be so much as
to delay the ratification for long time or
even to defeat it.-Philadelphia Public Ledger,
Mr.. Morrill, was the author OF the agricuI-

longest known to posterity He was distin-
guished also by the opposition to all kinds of
foreign adventure He opposed the annexa-

A Constitutional Amendment.

The paroxysm of distress into which
a few Of the bloody shirt" representa-
tives Of Northern Journalism were
thrown by the suggestion of Senator
Butler. of North Carolina. that pen
sions should be paid by the United
States government to former Confed-
crate soldiers is likely to be subdued
by the action of the Southern people
themselves.
The Confederate post of New York,
comprising some of the most excellent
representatives of the old armies Of the
'1ost cause" has declared unanimously
against the proposed resolution. The
Louisville Courier journal quite signifi-
cantly attempts to put a quietus
upon the whole movement by showing
the unconstitutionality of the proceed
ing. And in this connection 1t refers
to the fourth section Of the fourteenth
amendment. which reads as follows:
1.-THE validity of the public debt of the
United States authorized by Jaw, including
debts incurred for payment Of pensions and
bounties for services In snppressing insurrec-
ton or rebellion, shall not be questioned
But neither the United States nor any state
shall assume or pay any debt or obligation
reD6lH0n
against the United States, or any claim for
the loss or emancipation of any save; but
all such debts, obligations and claims shall
be held illegal and void
The Butler resolution had the effect
of drawing the fire of some of the
small guns. But they were, veritably,
only the smallest guns that were per-
mftted to pop. The great heart of the
South responded its sympathetic ap-
prevail of the suggestion that the North
might we'll afford to join with the South
in caring for the graves of Confederate
| soldiers. But beyond that the con-
sentative and sensible element would
| not permit any step to be taken. And
thus the small fry agitators favoring
the preparation of the memories of
the wrangle of generation ago be-
| tween the North and South are left
stranded without any capital. Let
them sit down and quietly chew the
cud Of contentment The South has
proven itself, during the past twelve
months, as pretty good people" and 80

A FarcicaI Show Of Virtue.

1t was a pleasing exhibition Of
thoughtfulness which Representative
Jacobson. Of Lac qui Parle county, af-
forded last evening in the Republican
caucus. by means Of his virtuously in
clined resolutions respecting an investi-
cation Of the prison Irvine industry
and the alleged abuses Of the grain in
spection system of the state. This
kindly disposed legislator undoubtedly
feels that Chairman Steele badly muss-
ed UP the issues of the last campaign,
from the Republican standpoint. by
defending so vigorously the grain in
spection bureau. and now wants to
smooth things out in anticipation Of
any possible executive action on the
subject.
Everybody knows that an investiga-
ton in pursuance of the resolution pro-
posed by Mr.. Jacobson would be
futile. Gov. Lind will have 1t In his
power. In the discharge Of his admin
istrative duties. to correct many Of the
evils practiced under the existing laws.
The laws themselves have not. in fact.
been assailed. but rather the abuses
which have grown UP in the process Of
their execution. Hence these popcorn
resolutions amount to nothing more
than an evidence of the underlying
heat which causes the explosion Of the
material overhead.
Just at present railway freights have
nothing whatever to do with the issue
involved in the improper inspection Of
wheat. That is an issue disposed Of
several years ago. The attempt to re-
vive it now and thus create prejudice
against an imaginary something which
no longer exists is the purest dema-
gogy and dishonesty. and no sensible
element in this prosperous common
wealth Is likely to be led by such q
claptrap guide.
| The whole matter of correction Of the
| grain inspection is more directly In the
hands Of Gov. Lind than in the legis-
| lature. and the dust which 1t is now
attempted to throw in the eyes Of
the public by means Of Mr.. Jacobson's
resolution is not possessed Of sufficient
carrying power to find any respectable
place of Judgment among the intelli-
| gent farming community.

the water was going out too fast. and
that jet of steam was escaping with
great force. In trying to shut It off
he was badly scalded. but. in spite
of the pain, he thought only of the
horrible consequences of an explosion.
There was but one thing to do and
that to be done quickly. He grasped

The Witch at Pekin.

The expectation that the abdication
Of the Chinese emperor would soon be
followed by the announcement of his
death Is turned into a feeling of be-
wilderment over the latest news. Ac
cording to this the educational reforms,
which really caused the emperor's
downfall, are now to be carried out by
the empress dowager-the woman Of
reactionary fame. And yet close
scrutiny Of her life of intrigue will
make 1t evident that while her policy
has been distinctly static, and while
she has played into the hands Of the
mandarins and literati, it has not been
from any sense of loyalty to them or
to the traditions of the Celestial en-
pire, but from an answering loyalty
to her own ambition.
Isl An won the title of dowager en-
press by poison and intrigue, and has
defended it for eighteen years by the
same means Heretofore mandarins
and lfterati best served her purposes,
and she used them; now it appears that
the advocates of reform have waxed
strong, and consequently Isl Am wins
their support by declaring that the
European sciences shall supplant the
Confucian classics in the educational
curriculum.
A stranger story than that Of the
empress dowager cannot be found any
where save. perhaps. in the rise Of
Catherine l. Of Russia But concu-
bine in 1860. she became an associate
regent in 80. sole regent In 1881, and
was styled "dowager empress" in 'S4,
at which time she proved, not only to
her own people, but to all the world,
that she was the real autocrat Of the
Celestial empire. She alone knows
how many princely lives she has sacri-
feed to realize her ambition. She Is
sixty five years old, and it would seem
that she must begin to weary Of the
worlds vanities. but 1t was only a
few years ago that she permitted the
court to appropriate $25,OOO,OOO for her
birthday celebrations sum, however,
which she afterwards applied to the
expenses Of the Japanese war.
And all this in country where wom-
en- are believed to have neither brains
nor souls!
