reefed for the bitter blast, whenever 1t
may come. A matter of eight months
ago 1t took occasion to say that the
proposed convention would develop a
good many things beside purity in pol
itics and reform in the states finances

be less palatable than those we have.
1t based this conclusion on a more or

to take up one amendment at time,
using the legislature as the amenda-
tory body, instead OF giving all the
men with jobs chance to pool their
issues In convention.
However, nothing but q convention
would serve the purpose and con-
vention we are to have. 1t will not be
a panacea, but it is useless to prepare
for disappointment in advance The
shock won't kill In any case. What is
hearty cooperation on the part of all
the elements in the state that are for
doing the work cut out for the con-
vention and doing it thoroughly. 1t IS
no longer a question of friends or en-
emies of the convention: the conven-
ton is assured. and as an ISSUE is
eliminated. The real tug of war Is to
keep the enemies of certain specific re-
forms from combining forces and de-
feating them all. To arouse public
sentiment that will tolerate nothing of
this sort-that is the task that our con-
tcmporaries should set themselves. The
despair Will keep till after the event.

ENGLAND'S ABSURD CANAL
PRETENTIONS.

1t is unfortunate that Senator John
II. Morgan, of Alabama. should have
made his speech against American
PontroI Of the Nicaragua canal in an
executive session of the Senate. Son
ator Morgan is an able man, the canal
Is his hobby. and possibly he might
have been able to do what nobcdy has
yet done-give n sound prac'ical rea-
son why the United States should dig
a canal and pay 500. ooO. 900 for It, only
to make a present Of 1t to England,
whose preponderant navy would ena-
BILE her to control it.
The Virginian-Pilot is not inscnsiblc
Of the fact that for the United Stares
to dig this canal and make a present
of 1t to the world would be. in 6. sense,
q large and fine thing to do 1t would
be an extreme display of generosity,
hospitality and courtesy for which
our unselfsh brethren in france. Ger
many and England would praise us to
our faces and ridiculc us to our backs.
But why in the name OF all that is alb
surd should we single out England as
the guardian of our canal and the guar
antor OF its neutrality? Why should the
United States sacrifice the security OF
it's Pacific coast ports In order to 20
out of its way to recognize and justify
the insolence and presumption of Eng
lands claims to consideration in this
matter?
OF course the answer is the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. And yet it is d matter
of record, as the New York Sun conclu-
sively shows. that the provision of the
treaty upon which England bases her
claim to interfere in the canal matter
was never ratified by the Senate, vas
81 mere understanding ms TO interprcta-
ton between Secretary Clayton and the
British minister aud was, therefore,
never at any time binding upon this
country. But, even apart from that,
the Foreign Relations Committee OF
tho United States Senate in 1891 after
the fullest investigation, reported
unanimously that England had violated
the treaty. ana that THE United States
IS at present under no obligation, mea-
sured either by the terms of the con
vention, the principles of public law or
good morals. 10 refrain from promot-
ing, in any way that it may deem best
for its just interests the construction
of this canal without regard to any
thing contained in the CONVENTION OF
1850" THE convention of 1850 was
the Clayton BuIwer treaty.
This is absolutely conclusive as TO
