Davis of the Committee on Foreign R.ia-
tiou. !. tonfidsat OF the Issue.

New York. Feb. "a dispatch TO the
Herald from Washington says:
Senator Davis. chairman OF the COM
mittce ON foreign relations. In confident
the treaty VIII be ratified.
II cannot see how the result can now
be otherwise" he said last night. 1T
has been made perfectly apparent by
the attack OF AEulnaldo'n forces upon
the United States at Manila that what
We have asserted from the beginning
IN true. and that the FliDinoa have
been encouraged TO believe by what has
taken place In the Senate. that no
treaty could or would be made TO bind
the insurgents.
That has been the position OF al
legged representatives or tho FilipinoA
here from the beginning. From the
aspect OF our relations TO the Fillpinos
there should not have been n moments
hesitation about the ratification OF the
treaty. and the events OF yesterday
prove II.
ny our protocol with spain our free
dom OF action was restrained In every
way as 10 territory and military oper-
ations. We should be released from
that restraint at the earliest possible
moment. II IL very unfortunate that
tho opponents OF the treaty could not
see this until Its demonstration by an
actual attack upon the forces OF the
United States"

An Eyasiye Comment.

In commenting on an editorial In the
1ntelllgencer concerning Governor At
kinson's express company tax veto,
Saturdays Register garbled para
graph In which one OF the minor reasons
for the veto was given. based upon the
idea that the shippers by express might
have to bear the burden of the tax, and
replies to the point by saying 1t Is "sllly
and asinine." Thus the Register flat
tiers Itself that 1t has completely crush
cd the governors message. The main
feature OF the statement OF the govern
or. the one which he dwelt upon most
extensively, was the showing that GER
tain provisions of the bill were uncon-
stltutional according to decisions OF the
United States supreme court, composed
possibly OF quite as able legal minds
MS the one possessed by the editorial
writer of the Register. who only refers
to them. not by doing the governor
credit of having cited them. but by the
following profound remark:
AS to the governors claim that the
bill was not constitutional. while not
prepared mt present to discuss the mcr-
us OF this phase of the question, the
Register feels quite as safe on that point
In trusting the lawyers who drafted the
bill. and whose scrutiny 1t, passed In
both branches of the Legislature. as

to win laurcls as a constitutional law.

/. Washington,s .Terrible rurkn

Washington Dispatch to st. Louis
Globe Democrat: The new Turkish
minister is a terror to Washington So
ciety. He is one Of those foreigners
who come to America full of curiosity
concerning this people. and with no
hesitation about exercising it. Usually
the American ladies of Washington are
willing to satisfy this curiosity. and can
hold their own against the questioning.
But this new Turk is altogether I'M
speakable In social sense He at
tended an official function few even
lngs since and was introduced to a lady
in full reception dress, a little fuller
than usual. perhaps. The Turk ex-
changed 1.-THE ordinary commonplace.
for, he talks. the language OF the coun-
try to which he is accredited. Gradually
his attention became rlveted upon the
lndy's costume in such manner that
she was embarrassed, and raised her
fan in front OF her. At length the min
lister. In his earnest way, pointing to
the low cut OF the bodice. asked:
Madame, does your husband permit
this without protest2"
The lady colored furiously and replied
that her husband found no fault with
her taste. The minister shook his head
In q deprecating way. and began to tell
how different 1t was in his country. The
lady made her escape as quickly as pos
sible. Not many evenings afterward the
minister was at another official recep-.
ton, He was presented to well-known
society woman, and began:
Are you marrled?"
The lady answered In the affirmative
with smile.
May ask how long you have been
married."
The lady said that she had entered
the state Of matrimony some ten years
ago. -.
How many children have you?" was
the next question.
The lady replied. with slight mani
festation OF embarrassment, that she
had none.
The minister stopped to think for a
full half minute. and. with puzzled
look, resumed:
In my country"
The lady fled. and what the minister
was going to say will never be known.
But no member OF Washington society
will now risk an introduction to the
terrible Turk II she can help herself.

Captain Crawford,s Death.

The announcement made this morn
ing Of the death OF Captain Richard
Crawford, Of this city, at Burlington,
Iowa, yesterday morning, at the ad-
vanced age Of ninety-one years, will be
received with feelings of the deepest re-
greet among his many friends in this
and other communities, where the
greater part Of his long life has been
spent. Next to the late John K. Bots
ford, Captain Crawford was Wheeling's
Oldest citizen. and no man was more re-
spected and esteemed than he. It was
by the older citizens that he was best
known, but among the younger genera
lions there are many who delighted in
his companionship. In his last days his
mind and memory were as clear and
vigorous as those OF many a man upon
whose shoulders the weight of fewer
years is resting. He will be missed
sadly by the surviving friends of long
years, who held him so high in their
estimation, and honored him for his
real worth.
In connection with the death of Cap
tain Crawford, 1t is recalled. doubtless,
by many. that he was the fathcr-in-law
of the late Archibald W. Campbell, and
that they. were the closest of friends.
Mr.. Campbell had Just returned last
month to st. Louis from Captain Craw-
ford's bedside, at Burlington, Iowa,
where he lay III. when he himself was
stricken down by the hand Of death, but
not before Mr.. Campbell had sen. word
OF his aged friends serious condition.
That these two friends should have been
taken away so closely together. and so
near to the time of the departure of
Mr.. Botsford, one OF their devoted
friends, is peculiarly sad and touching.
Captain Crawford's long, useful and ex-
emplary life, like those of other aged
pioneers Of Wheeling. will leave It's i'm
press upon the community, and his
memory and theirs will be always hon.
ored.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, March s.
The following circular has been issued
by State Superintendent of Schools
Trotter:
The complaints about the difficulty Of
securing the text books adopted by the
legislature in 1895, in counties where
there are no deposltaries, have become
so frequent that 1 deem 1t advisable
to say that the attorney gcnral has
given 1t ms his opinion that. inasmuch
as that section of the text book law OF
1895 which relates to depositarles is in
consistent with the same section Of
the text book law OF 1897, and Is re-
pealed thereby. Consequently all books
contracted for by state superintendent
Of free schools. under authority Of the
act Of 1895, may be sold by dealers, in
general. under the same conditions as
govern in the case Of the books adopted
by the county school book boards In
1887: and that dealers may add. as
profit. the per cent. fixed by the county
school book board. which profit, accord
Ing to law, shall not exceed twenty-five
per cent. on the net contract price.

posed Of lawyers who possibly will ia
Yorably compare in point Of ability with
some OF the able gentlemen In the Iegis-
lature. In the case of exactly similar
features in the vetoed bill, passed by
other states, the supreme court of this
country decided they were unconstitu-
tional and void. and in violation OF the
Interstate commerce law, because they
would interfere with inter state traffic.
I Now, II the Register will be broad
and fair enough to take these decisions
of the national supreme judicial author
lily. compare the questions decided with
the particular features OF the West .vir-
ginia bill referred to. and show wherein
the supreme court was wrong, instead
of evading these features OF the veto.
and catching at straws, and making un-
supported assertions, 1t will possibly
place itself in more credltable light.
The decisions are cited by the gov.
iernor. i5- ~
The Dill was not party measure nor
! #
was the veto. The act was supported
and voted for without regard to party
lines. and 1t was altogether a. business
measure. The trouble was not with the
principle Of justly taxing such corpora
lions, but with putting into the act pro-
Visions that would obstruct Interstate
traffic. and be in direct violation OF de-
clsions already made in connection with
that law and the national constitution.
Why not be frank enough to give read
,ers the opportunity to read something
more than garbled extracts. and lay
aside prejudice long enough to discuss
q business proposition which has not
party politics in 1t? One way to get
proper tax measure on the statute
books Is to show the good and bad
points ofthe measure, and not to abuse
the executive who gave his authorities
for his reasons for Directing to bad
points.
