The majority OF two by which the
amendments to the bill ceding the Phil

how narrow Is the government majority
In that body. It was the crucial test,
and while the government won in Its
effort to keep faith and sustain the
terms OF the treaty, the margin was so
small as to disgust Sagasta to the point
OF placing the resignation ofthe cabinet
In the hands of the queen regent. This
may not, according to Washington dis
patches materially affect the status OF
the treaty.
!tIsn't the first time that Sagasta has
shown n lack OF nerve. He seems to be
oyer-sensitive to opposition. particular

countries, as rule. close vote on a

causes the supporters of the latter to be
all the firmer in their position. Sagasta
wouldn't make n good leader in politics
in this country. where n victory by a
small majority simply stlrs up the ma
jorIty party to greater efforts. A leader
like Sagasta could not maintain his
prestige long here.

THE INTELLIGENcER.
WHEELING, MARCH 2. 1899.
The Governors yctoes

Since the adjournment OF the legisla-
ture, and within the time specified by
the constitution, Governor Atkinson has
vetoed two bills. passed by the legisla-
ture that caused great discussion while
they were pending in that body, and
were fought without success. In We'd
nesday's Intelligencer appeared the full
text OF the veto of the amendment to
the mechanics lien law, which carried
the law to an extreme that would work
great injustice and cripple the em-
( ploye worse than the employer. and
cause the innocent purchaser OF the
products of the state to bear the loss.
In other words. the lien would be on
the product Of the institution and not
upon the real and personal property Of
the employer who might be deficient In
the payment of wages. Such prior
lien would compel the purchaser of the
goods after he had paid for them. to
give them UP or pay the lien, while the
deficient employer would have the
money in his pocket. This would do
serious DANCE to our trade and COM
merce, drive the states customers else
where and stop our industries. The ex-
tensive argument published yesterday
in the text of the veto goes into all the
details of possible results, and 1t is un-
necessary here to repeat them.
The full text OF the other veto. that
taxing express companies. which was
passed after hard fight. appears on
another page Of this mornings 1ntelli-
gencer. 1t explains itself. discussing
every phase of the questions involved.
Aside from its discriminating features
which tax a public carrier without a
similar action toward other similar
corporations, the governor bases his ac-
ton on the ground that some of the
provisions are unconstitutional. and
conflict with the national Interstate
commerce law. One feature Of the bill,
requiring agents Of express companies
doing business through this state-in-
ter-state trafilc-to pay license prece-
dent. to the transaction OF business
within the state by such companies, has
already been declared unconstitutional
and void by the United States supreme
court, because 1t inter7eirz with inter-
state commerce. The Z. >ision was
made with reference 10 the same law
passed by the Kentucky legislature.
But these vetoes speak for them
selves. We direct attention to the mes
sage published this morning. which
covers every point involved. The gov
ernor takes the responsibility Of his ac-
ton. and we refer to the matter on ac-
count of the wide attention the meas
ures attracted. and the apparent deter
minat!on Of large majoritles in the leg
islatures to pass them. A law may be
right In purpose. but wrong in detail
and in the extremity to which 1t goes.
The principle upon which q law Is based
does not always sustain unreasonable
provisions that slip into Il.

A Deserving Citizen.

The nomination by the President OF
States circuit judge Of the Sixth judicial
circuit, has called out many favorable
comments, without regard to politics,
from the press and the leading men OF
the country, on his character and at
ta!nments. Two years ago the appoint
ment might have attracted but passing
notice. and have been referred to simply
MS an honor conferred upon friend and
ne!ghbor of the President. He was
comparatively unknown at>that time,
having never figured in national coun-
ellis. and had taken no part at all In
politics as a leader. When he was
placed In the state department by the
President, and elevated to the high POSI-
ton of secretary of state in the Presi-
dents cabinet. TO succeed Mr.. Sherman,
Mr.. Day did not receive the enthusiasts
tic endorsements from some sources that

Germany and the United States.

Germany has given sufficient answer
to those who have been relying on un-
official reports and Spanish fakes"
concerning her attitude toward this
country, in connection with the Philip
pine question, to the extent that they
have been seeing ahead trouble with
the kaiser. There have been no indica-
tons in official circles In Washington Of
anxiety concerning the attitude of Ger
many, and there have been repeated
denials from our commanders at Mani
Ia OF reports Of warlike demonstrations
by German ships.
Rumors that had no foundation were
daily published in the press here and
abroad, and the innocent readers never
considered for a moment that the cable
connecting Manila with the remainder
OF the word Is under the control Of this
government, but believed all the sensa-
tons they read. On Tuesday, while
sensational rumors were In circulation
Of an outbreak between the Germans
and Americans at Manila. the state
ment being that Dewey sank q German
vessel, the government at Washington
was receiving the information that the
German government had ordered Its
ships away from Manila. and made the
formal application to the United States
to undertake the protection OF all the
Germans In the Philippines.
This action is taken as an assurance
Of the confidence in the United States
to handle the situation: that Germany
had no designs upon the Philippines nor
any selfish purpose involving any other
than friendly relations with this coun-
try. 1t was brilliant stroke of diplo-
macy. and its immediate effect will be
to strengthen the bonds which exist be-
tween the two nations. Germany not
only places In the hands OF this coun-
try the lives and property OF German
citizens in the Philippines, but all her
other interests. 1t is not only notice
to this country OF cordial feeling, but
to the world.
