4 Senator Astray.
San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Senator Perkins astonishes the state if
not his friends by the declaration that he
will vote against the treaty of peace with
Spain unless instructed otherwise by the
Legislature Of California.
The views expressed by the senator are
not those Of the people he is supposed to
represent. The interests of California are
wholly in the line of the closest relations in
trade with the Philippines, and these rela-
tons can be had only through the control
of the islands by the Ann rican govern
ment. If Senator Perkins makes a fight
against the obvious interests of California,
he will succeed only in taking another slice
off that 1900 republican majority.

will obey. although still holding to his can
didly confessed individual views.
What of Mr.. Hoar? Will he stand out?
He has never been the champion Of Spain
at any stage of the proceedings. If he was
reluctant to see the war begun it was not
because he Endorsed Weylerism or De
Lomeism. He was not Indifferent when it
was shown that the Cubans had been
herded like cattle and were being starved
to death. Mr.. Hoar's position is more one
of misgivings as to means than of opposi-
ton to progress or the discharge of duty.
1t may be that Mr. Hale's vote will be
the only republican vote cast against the
treaty. That will make the record har-
monious and complete

Charged Up to Expansion.

hangers-on at Washington can devise is
Haunting itself in the name of expansion.
A petty, but insignificant instance of this
spirit is afforded by the act of the House
last week increasing the police force of the
Capitol building from forty-nine to sixty
seven. In vain did dissenting members call
attention to the notorious fact that these
police have only nominal duties and only
nominally attend to them. The job went
through the House like lightning.-Boston
Globe.
And what in the name of the Sacred
Goldfish did the increase of the Capitol
police have to do with the question of eX-
panson? Was it necessary to have more
police to keep the anti-expansionsts in
order?

4 Modest Demand,

I'm weary" the cynic exclaimed, "of this
earth,
And the course it pursues, day by day
It's the same tiresome story of gloom or of
mrth,
And everything goes the old way
tbs spherical humbug, a sham and a
fraud,
Whose monotony never is checked:
1t is wholly devoid of a chance to applaud
Some really novel effect.
Each morning the sun rises in the old
place
To summon the world from it's sleep;
In the same old direction his path he will
trace
Like the mortals who stolidly creep.
One cannot help wishing that some day
he'd try
mode bit startling and strange
That he'd vary his program and travel the
sky
From the west to the east for a change"
