Ratification in Sight.

The friends of the Peace Treaty are now
confident of ratification at this session
without any amendment of the document
II it should become necessary, in order to
swell the favorable votes to larger pro-
portions, TO adopt the Sullivan resolution,
Senator Davis may agree to that, though
even without it a rejection of the Treaty
is hardly to be feared. When it comes to
a positive decision, there are Senators who
are classed with the minority who will
hardly care to place themselves on record
as opposing the will of the people it
is known through the public prints and
in the resolutions of State legislatures.
There is an increasing respect for the
judgment of Mr.. Croker. Whatever may
be said of his political morals, and even of
his personal character. he has abundantly
demonstrated the soundness of his opin
ions in relation to party policy. He has
been able to hold together an organization
that was execrated by the people of New
York, and to wrest success from conditions
that dismayed all his associates. He was
successful in gaining control of the party
machinery of the State at a time when all
the circumstances seemed to be against
it. This is all due to his reading of the
mind of the public. He has seen that the
great body of the American people are en-
thusiastic for the retention of the Philip
pines, as a matter of patriotism and also
of business. Therefore he has antagonized
Mr.. Bryan and other Democratic leaders
and the Senate minority. throwing himself
with feryor into the cause of expansion.
The news from General Otis published
yesterday morning is said TO have eased the
anxiety of the President as to the situa-
tion there. 1t simply means that the Fill
pinos are not so offensive as they were,
and encourages the hope that when the
Treaty is ratified and the President has
every means to establish American author
ity the resistance will diminish and disap-
pear. There is no doubt that much of the
courage of the rebels comes from Sena-
tor Hoar, who is said to be a personal
friend of Aguinaldo's spy Whether he
personally guides that agent or not, his
public utterances constitute the chief hope
of the self-appointed dictator and his al
legged government. II is not to be expected
that the remote and ignorant Filipinos
should know how small is the following
of the Senior Massachusetts Senator.
If no new complications arise before the
date fixed for the vote, We may look for
rapid decline of Aguinaldo's power and
the early establishment of peace in the
Philippines. The question of ratification is
one of the most important this nation has
had TO face in recent years. and more de-
ponds on a favorable vote than it is pos
sible TO estimate
