FOR CONGRESS, Not THE SENATE.

There Is talk at Washington about adopting
the McEnery resolution. or some similar one
! I'm the Senate to define the policy OF this GOV
ernment toward the Philippines. 1t may be
that courtesy and good faith toward Mr.. Nc
Emery suggest the propriety of bringing ms
resolution 10 vote If so. that should nc
done. It does not. however appear that any
good purpose could be served by the adoption
! OF such resolution, while some uhpie'Sah''c"S
might be caused.
Before the ratification Of the treaty II was
nroDosed TO adopt some resolution, like that
offered bv Mr. Sullivan. or those offered by
Nr. Lindsay, interpreting the treaty as the Sen
ate understood II. There seemed then to DC no
need of such action. The resolutions merely
said undlsputed things in very solemn way
| Still the adoption of them could nave done 10
harm. There would be no mpropriety, We sup
| pose in the adoption of a resolution setrhS
forth that, In the opinion of the senate the
sum of two and two IS four
But now the case IS changed. The Senate
has ratified the treaty. In doing so 1t has done

II has TO do alone with the issues raised uhder
II. The Philippine question is now RENTED 10
/ CONGRESS, not to the Senate acting as treaty
ratlfying body, but to the Senate and the House
of Representatives acting conjointly as law
making body. Any declaration of policy now
made by the Senate alone would be of no more
effect than the Popes Bull against the comet
executing ms It might be deemed an attempt 70
arrocate to the Senate alone a power which
equally pertains to the House OF Represent
! atives.
II is for the Senate to ratify treaties 1t is
for Congress both Senate and House Of Repre-
seutatives-"to dispose Of and make all need
"ful rules and regulations respecting the terri
"tory or ether property belonging to the United

THE SENATE AND THE Voters.

On many accounts II is well 10 see exactly
what the recent vote in the Senate on the Peace
Treaty discloses With reference 10 the WORK
ING of existing laws for the election of Senators
and the prospect concerning future questions u
is important that the people should understand
how far the Senate represents, misrepresents or
dcfies their will. As the States are OF different
weight the entire vote cast I'm the Presidential
election of 1896 in the States represented by two
votes on either side may be credited to that side,
ond half the votes of States divided in the Sen
ote may be credited 10 each side Six States
cast both their votes against the treaty. all be-
jno, Southern Arkansas. Florida, Missouri. Ten
nessec. Texas and Virginia. But twenty-five
States cast solid votes for the treaty. eighteen
Northern and four Southern. The States were
nearly four to one for the treaty. The votes
cast in 1896 in the twenty-five States solid for
the treaty were 7.137 9G6. against 2.0l2.55i in
the six States against It. In Alabama and in
Delaware both votes for the treaty were cast by
Democrats. with one in Kentucky and one in
West Virginia; both votes in Nevada were cast
by silver Senators. with one in Montana and one
IN Colorado while three Populists from Kansas,
Nebraska and North Carolina voted for il.
The remaining seventeen States were divided,
Carolina by the votes Of n Democratic Senator
from each for the treaty. and in Idaho, South
Dakota and Utah by the present division OF
Senatorial representation. These seven States
OF which the vote was lcgtlmately divided cast
,.S3. .S34 votes. of which half may be credited 10
either side. But it IS not so in ten other States
IN which votes were cast against the treaty in
defiance Of the known will OF the people. These
ten States cast 4109522 votes, Of which the
power legitimately belonging TO half was by
violation Of the popular Will, given to opponents
Of the treaty, namely, 2.0J9,761 votes. more than
were cast in the six States sOdy against the
treaty In Indiana Maryland, Ncw-Jersey, New
York North Dakota and Wisconsin Republicans
lave been chosen in place Of the Democrats
who voted against the treaty; in California the
Democrat was defeated though his Republican
successor is not yet chosen in Washington Il
Republican majority this year declared the pop
ular will, and in Maine and Massachusetts two
Republican Senators used the power intruSted
10 them by Republicans in order to aid the most
dangerous and least patriotic faction Of Demo
Gratis. The division by States with votes in 1896
IS here shown, the States now Republican being
given first on the side for the treaty and the
divided States now Democratic on the opposite
side:

TWO BOYS HAVING FUN.

Aconcillo scurried away to Montreal the other
night without waiting TO say goodby, and
having got there safe and sound he said on
Monday: Il came TO Montreal in order to re-
"ccive the news which not allowed to
"reach me in Washington" And he smiled
broadly" or course He was having fun Or
so he thought.
But the very next day. Tuesday, when some
one asked him what he thought about GER
tain matter. he replied: How can | say any
thing. having nothing to guide me beyond the
"newspaper reports? 1t is absolutely impOs-
"sibe for me to communicate with my people,
because the Americans control the service. y
And then. says the reporter with more force
than elegance. he shut up like a clam" He
wasn't having as much fun as he expected.
Agunado. too, set ont to have some fun.
On Saturday he issued proclamation quite in
the grand hghdaddy style Il order and com
mand," he said. that peace and friendly rcla-
"tiOns with the Americans be broken. and that
"the latter be treated as enemies" 1t is not
known whether or not he smiled. But he s9nt
his troops with rush against the American
lines to kill and mutilate and drive them into
the sea. so that his merry men might loot the
city. as he wanted them TO do months ago.
But in n few hours he found his men put to
rout and slain by thousands. and the American
lines not broken. hut advanced. And just four
days after date of his beligerent proclamation
he whimpered In substance 81 want to quit"
He wasn't having as much fun as he expect
ed either.
Fun is nice thing for boys to have. But
when they turn it into mischief they must be
spanked and put to bed.

New-York tribune., 1899-02-09

Bishop Williams OF Connecticut was a wise
counsellor and safe leader of his church. In
many respects he was a typical product Of New
England soil and traditions. Yet he came in
time to be an equally typical representative Of
q church polity and theology that were once
utterly alien to New England. Some years ago
he was described in London as Yankee prel-
ate" and the phrase was an apt one. He was
a Connecticut churchman OF the old school, hav-
ing no sympathy with the modern High and
Broad Church devoooments OF church life. 1t
was often said that he knew more persons Of
every walk OF life I'm the state Of Connecticut
than any other man in the state. And al
though in these days his theology may have
been considered somewhat narrow his ripe
scholarship. playful genalty and broad SYM
psthy with the plain people made him one Of
the most popular men in the State. For many
years he welded paramount influence in the
counsels OF the Episcopal Church. and his ad-
ministratlon Of his own diocese was conceded to
he almost hawess.
