Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. A.-The clamorous
statement of the London Times in discuss
ing the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty
that the Senate and Mr.. Lodge forget that
England Is a great North American
power emphasizes the exact point that
largely influenced the action of the Senate
In making practically a new treaty out Of
the convention Secretary Hay and Am
bsssador Pauncefote signed. The Senate
amendments did not recognize England as
q great North American power. England's
claim to be so consf~ ed led the Senate to
look on the isthmian canal as quite a
secondary matter. The main question with
the Senate finally came TO be the preserva-
ton of the Monroe doctrine, and this pre-
cludes England's claim to recognition as a
great North American power. The treaty
as submitted to the Senate rehabilitated the
ili-omend Clayton-Bulwer treaty and gave
q renewed and even enlarged recognition os
Englands claim to a co-equal voice with
the United States in the affairs OF this con-
tinent.
This came to be looked on as the main
object OF England in negotiating .-e new
convention. The more the trea dis
cussed In the Senate the stronge
the impression that its ratification
negotiated would be a severe blow at the
Monroe doctrine. It was therefore so
amended as to remove from 1t the last ves-
tige Of anything >shat would be construed
az having that meaning. England holds
sovereignty over continental as well as In
sular territory in North America but mere
" a. colonial possessions. OF which she
may be dispossessed in several different
wys at any time Her seat of supreme
srnment Is not on this continent as is
L of the United States, but on another
II zone Is sufficient to destroy any claim
she .ay make to be treated as the equal
OF tAds government on this continent. Her
interest and influence on this continent is
not and cannot be the same as this coun-
try These considerations Influenced the
Senate In amending the treaty In the way
and to the extent it did. and the heated
denunciations OF the London papers, es-
peciaI1y of the Times. confirm the sus-
picion that the canal was Of secondary
and slight interest to England In the Hay
Pauncefote convention.

LONDON. Dec. PA representative of

For an Editor TO Recommend Patent
Medicine L?

From Sylvan Valley News. Brevard NC
1t may be a question whether the
editor of newspaper has the rig
to publicly recommend any Of the
various proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say
good word for Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would have save hours of suffering
while physician is awaited. We dc
not believe in depending implicitly On
any medicine for cure, but we clio
believe that if bottle of Chamber
lain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffering
might be avoided and in very many
cases the presence of a physician
would not be required. At least this
has been our experience during thu
past twenty years. For sale by j.

the sale of liquor for ''mechanical,

Does not every citizen remember
what this meant in the prescription

hinder any old topper or sot from hav-
ing some mechanical, if not medi-
cinal, need of liquol? Wherein lie
the moral points Of this proposed

proposition is fraud on its face,
and the only purpose that would be
served would be to obtain office for
few men without improving tenn

system so disgusting in it's hypocrisy
that the State will welcome change
to an open barroom system-a sys-
