Senator Elkins, Position.

\ The speech OF Senator s. B. Ekins on
his amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, last Thursday, struck the popu-
lar chord with more impressiveness
than many people ignorant Of the true
situation suppose. In that speech Mr..
Elklns, stamped himself as a leader OF
the advanced thought OF the country
and as one who dares to initiate where
others are content to follow. There
was nothing In Mr.. Elkins' amendment
that was not wholly American. and no
construction could be placed upon it
that did not tally with the pulse beats
Of the patriotic people of this country.
The text OF that amendment was as
follows:
But nothing in this treaty shall be con-
strued to prevent the United States from
acquiring sufficient territory and sover-
eighty OF the same. upon which to build.
maintain. operate, defend and control said
canal at any time. and for other purposes,
as the United States may deem best in Its
interests. ~
The amendment Is not mandatory. 1t
merely wisely provides safeguards for
any contingency that may arise, when
It might be deemed necessary for the
United States to defend canal which
It proposes to build. In advancing this
purely American idea It is noticeable
that Senator Ell1Ins fortified his POSI-
( ton by quoting the utterances Of every
Republican President, and every Repub-
licaE secretary of state, from Grants
time to Arthur, in support, of the gen.
eral proposition OF ian American canal
on American soil, built by American
money, for the American people. This
last Is nearlj. II not quite an exact
quota ton from an article written by
President Grant. after he retired from
Office: for the North American Review.
and Senator Elkins pertinently inquired
why the American. people should permit
England, or any power, to send ! hostile
flee; 4 to the Pacific coast through q
canal built with American money?
Why should they. indeed?
Senator Elkins made another impress
sive point In referring to the ancient
convention OF Clayton and Bulwer. and
whose provisions, in effect. prevent the
United States from acquiring land in
Nicaragua or Costa Rica for any pur-
pose at any time, by declaring that II
should be abrogated, as 1t has in the
fifty,years OF its existence brought moth
ing to the United States but trouble and
discomfort We do not know what the
fate OF the treaty will be-whether the
senate tomorrow will ratify It or not;
or trim 1t to suit England's fancles, but
we are impressed with the fact tina,
whatever action Is taken Senator, Ell
kins' course in the matter will shine
with a resplendant Americanlsm that
no cloudy criticism can obscure. And
OF this West vIrginIans may well be
proud. i,

. There is probably no more picturesque
reformer in the United States than Cow

called sometimes Potato" Pingree.
from the fact that he made 1t possible
for poor people to raise potatoes for
their own consumption and profit, Mr..
Pinsree's philanthropy Is all right, but
his reform movements are too drastic.
He has made the mistake that many
would-be radical regencrators have

different mind, indefinitely postponing

But that was not all. The governor

cost 5000, and he was liberal with. his
invitations, winding them up with the
suggestive conclusion "I'll guarantee you

unanimously declining to accept the

to what dire straits an Indiscreet re-
former may be reduced. The constant
abuse which for years the governor has
heaped upon the court Of last resort has
something to do With this, while the
