The Hay-Pauncefoot treaty If ratified by the
senate, makes the Nicaragua canal, to be con-
structed by the United States, neutral water
way, never to be fortified. Thus, the Monroe
doctrine is not only abandoned, but disgrace
full surrender is made to the arrogant demand
of England. It looks like the Mckinley ad-
ministYatiou is tied to the tail of John Bulls

THE PRESIDENTS INCOMPETENCE.

This fact is very forcibly presented in the
February number of the North American Re-
view, by Major J. E. Runcie, in an article
headed american disagreement of Cuba"
Those who are interested in having COM
petent man, not only at the head of our own
government, but also at the head of the new
territories under Our care, should read this ar
ticle. 1t will be an eye.opener to some of the
admirers of the Presidents wisdom.
The article opens with these words:
"The United States expelled Spain from
Cuba because the island, under Spanish rule,
had become an intolerable neigh Dor, and be.
cause it had been sufficiently demonstrated that
Spain was incompetent to restore and maintain
peace and order"
The writer claims that we should effect In
Cuba "a complete and permanent reformation
Of the condition of things which made nsces.
sary the forcible expulsion of Spain" He
concludes his article by saying: 'Not one
step has been taken towards realization of the
purposes of the Intervention. The problem
has become, by reason of neglect and incompe'
tency, more difficult to-day than it was a year
ago." He censures the government at Wash
ington for not formulating general policy, and
for not giving specific instructions to the ap.
pointed military governor who had ono quail
6cations for the position, and no claim upon it
except such as might be due to his high rank
in the army"

UNDER the new law, anybody who deposits
with Uncle Sam $a5, 900 in government bonds
can get authority to issue $4,000 in currency.
Thus, the banker draws interest OIL his bonds
deposited, and also loans his currency to the
people at high rate of interest, and this is the
Republican idea of an "honest' financial
system.
