As oTHERs SEE IT.

The adoption of the Davis amendment
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty has not
made that question. much. clearer but
1t has succeeded in raising quite a tenn
pest in England. The Davis amendment
seems intended to appease the jingoes of
both England and America, and it merely
succeeded in being equally odious to BOTH
That canal must either be distinctly and
absolutely neutral or absolutely Ameri-
can. This amendment would make it
neither flesh, fish, nor good red herring. .
England either has a good right to insist
on the Clayton-Bulwer treaty or She has
no such right whatever
We have previously impartially given
the arguments on both sides of the canal
question Aside from the fact that this
canal, even if fortified and defended at
an enormous cost, would still be the most
vulnerable point for our enemy to attack
in case of war, we have pointed out Eng
lands claim to the Mosquito territory,
the eastern part of Nicaragua through
which the canal must pass De-
nouncing the CIaytonBulwer treaty does
not meet the case. If the treaty had not
been made England would today be hold
ing at least part of the territory on the
route of the proposed canal
It has been pointed out that, as Eng
land had given up her claim to the Mos
quito territory, in consideration of the
ClaytCn-Bulwer treaty, she would be apt
to insist OH having it kept; that if we
built the Nicaragua canal and did not
make it neutral, the European powers
would be apt to complete the Panama
canal and make it neutral which would
deprive our canal of nearly all the ad-
vantages We might hope to gain from it
in case of war.
In regard to the first point, English pa
pcrs now claim that if we denounce the
Clayton Bulwer treaty we establish
again the same conditions that existed
before this treaty was made, when Eng
land held Greytown and was virtually
in possession of the entire Mosquito
coast If England should insist on this
view it would be impossible for lis to
build the canal without going to war
about it,
AS to the second point, other English
papers are vigorously advocating the
completion of the Panama canal They
point out that the interests of all Eu-
ropean powers are identical on this ques-
ton; that they should, therefore, unite
in building it and make it neutral; and
having done so, it would be a matter of
Indifference to them What the United
States might do about the Nicaragua
project. We might then sink our money
in big ditch there, but it would not
do us any particular good.
This ought to indicate where our inter
ests lie. Let us be patriotic, but let US
not throw $2OO,0OO,O0O at rainbow.

ELECTION FACTS
That should Caution Republicans
and Encourage Demoerats.

That Should Caution Republ1csIns
and Encourage Democrats.
New York World.
We have row presented the figures as
to the popular vote in every section at
the the last three presidential elections.
In strongly Republican New England
and in the overwhelmingly Democratic
''Solid South there was decline in the
popular vote, an actual decline, indicating
much larger failure on the part of
dissa tisfied electors to appear at the
polls. In New England it was Mr.. Nc
Kinley's vote that decreased; in the
''Solid South" it was Mr.. Bryan's.
In the great battle grounds of sound
money-the middle Atlantic states and
the middle Western states, together hav-
ing nearly half the population of the
country-Mr. Mckinley stood still In
the former Mr.. Bryan gained slightly; In
the latter he lost slightly, although he
relatively gained some ground.
In the great former stronghold of Popu-
ism, in those fifteen Northern states be-
tween the Mississippi and the Pacific, Mr..
Mckinley made enormous gains and Mr..
Bryan sustained enormous losses. Mr.
Bryan's plurality of 10000 in 1896 was
changed into Mckinley plurality of 1885,
006.
The vote in the Electoral college-292 to
155, as compared with 2n to 176 in 1896
gives only slight indication of the real
result. 1t exaggerates Mr.. McKinley's
victory 1t minimizes Mr.. Bryan's de-
feat.
Mr.. McKinIey's totals were swollen by
the inpouring Populists, who, abandoning
the decisions which caused them to leave
the Republican camp, returned after hav-
ing inflicted vast damage upon the Demo-
cratic party. Mr. Bryan's totals were
kept within 10000 of his total in 1896 by
the return Of partisan Democrats in con-
siderable numbers.
In the East, where the Populistic
craze of the Democratic party was least
understood the partisan Democrats for
got it the most easily. But in those sec
tons where Populism was rampant,
where it's follies has been most offensive
to the believers in Democracy the Of
Tended Democrats either returned in
small numbers or continued to stand
aloof.
If the returned Populists be substraeted
from Mr.. McKinley's totals it is seen that
his vote as. well as Mr. Bryan's shows a
large falling off from 1886 And then ap-
pears the full significance Of the great
central fact to which attention was call
ed in the first of this series of articles
on the popular vote. The central fact is:
Except the presidential election of 1864,
when the Southern states were not repre-
scented, this is the first presidential cleo
ton at which the popular vote has been
less than at the preceding presidential
election, the first at which it has not
been much greater
More than 100000 voters standing
aIoof; Mckinley gains where prosperity
and Populism were the main issues; Me-
Kinley loses where imperialism, mill
tarism and monopoly were dominant;
both Mckinley and Bryan losing from
1S96-these are the conclusions to caution
the triumphant Republicans, to eneour-
age the respondent Democrats to shake
off the odium of their disastrous Popu!is-
tificatIon.

supporters of the, administration, like
Beveridge, Frye and Hansbrough, with
a few Independent Democrats, voted
against the amendment
This vote was aimed, not so much at
the treaty-not at the administration
nor at England, but at the Nicaraguan
canal proposition. Had this treaty not
been SO intimately connected with the
building of the canal and the expediture
of $2OO,OOOOOO, it would have been ratified
with but few dissenting votes.
1t was unfortunate that this treaty,
entered inform good faith, and with few.
if any. Objectionable features, should
become the target Of so many adverse
personal interests
The British press, not approaching the
road the treaty had to travel may see
in this practical rejection OF solemn
convention an expression of unkinetly
feeling. This is far from the truth, as
will be shown by. the vote of the senate
when the real question comes up for
consideration.

DAVIS AMENDMENT ADOPTED

The senate, by vote of s. to II, agreed
to the Davis amendment of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. On the face of the
returns it appears that sixty-five SEN
ators are against the ratification of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty as submitted TO
the senate. This, however, is far from
the real fact. If it We're possible to lift
the veil and examine the motives Of the
senators voting for the Davis amend
ment, the result would no doubt sur
prise the uninftiated
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty has been
the dumping ground for all the oppos,-
ton to the Nicaraguan canal proposi-
ton. Defeat the treaty, and the ca
nal scheme will be defeated or indef-
initely postponed. So they argue. Ac-
cordingly every influence opposed to the
speedy building of the canal supported
the Davis amendment, as the easiest and
surest way to obstruct the progress OF
the canal proposition.
To this end the lobby representing the
Panama Canal company labored. The
transcontlnental railroad lines, which be-
lieve their interests are opposed to the
canal scheme, favored the Davis amend
ment. Those opposed to the government
building an isthmian canal on general
principles were for the Davis amend
ment. Those senators who believed the
Panama route is the more feasible (and
the number is not few voted for the
Davis amendment. When are added tc
these all the lingo senators who found
chance to play to the galleries, the fg-
ures run up to sixty-fve.

Another Subsidy thus delivers it
self: 1.-The Dispatch is opposed to subsi-
dies, whether they take the form of bonus
to builders of ships or refiners of sugar;
whether the fostered industry is on the
seacoast or within the borders Of our
own state And the reason is that it
is not right that the state should use it's
confiscatory power to tax to take money
from many pockets to put it in one Of a
few 1t believes that every business
should stand on its own feet; should :se-
pend upon the ability of its management
for success; should fail, if improbable,
and prosper if the contrary
For a dyed-in-the-woo Republican party
organ, this is a brave confession Of faith
Indeed, it would be important if it were
true. When did the Dispatch arrive az
these heterodox conclusions? Surely not
before the last election Then are we
to understand that the Dispatch believes
that all industries iron, steel, lumber, as
we'll as the wool and sugar production
should stand on its own feet? That the
tariff on lumber is an iniquity, as is
the whole tariff for-protection schedule?
Ali This is refre5hing-this bod stand
for the rights of the people against the
substituted trusts. Strange we heard
nothing OF this two months ago. Such
a radical change must have been long
evolving Are we mistaken when we as
sumo that the Dispatch supported the
administration at the last cIectien-tho
administration which came into power
four years ago, pledged to almost uni
versal subsidies for American industries?
What may we expect next?

nANNA,s SENATORIAL STANDING.

HANNA'S SENATORIAL STANDING.
The speech of Senator Hanna in sup
port of the HANNAH ayne-Frye ship sub
sdy bill was a disappointment to his
friends, and the death warrant of his
bill The opinion seems to be universal,
since that speech, that the senate ship
subsidy bill will be slaughtered.
This bill was Mr.. Hanna's pet, and
his three-hour speech the first one in
his career as United States senator.
The Ohio senator is finding it much more
difficult to run legislation than to run
political campaigns. The older members
of the senate resent the assumed leader
ship of this political boss to the extent
that any measure fathered by Senator
Hanna will have to stand on it's own
merits. The senator's from neither party
care to go out of their way to assist
Hanna in his schemes to pay political
debts
In the matter of the ship subsidy bill,
he attempted to make it party meas
ure. In this he was baked, whereupon
it is reported he, made overtures to the
Democratic side, but with no better sue
cess.
History will record the deeds of Mark
Hanna the political manager rather than
the deeds of Senator Hanna the states
man.
