High School Juniors Reply to
Challenge of the Sen
ior Class.
THE TRUCE REMAINS IN FORCE

Peace VIII Probably Prevail Hencefor;h
Younger Students Term the Action of
Their Elders as an Unwise Precedent,
lied.
The truce declared at the battle OF
the High school students Thursday is
still in force, and if the suggestions
of the conservative leaders are adopt
ed it is believed tranquility will hence
forth prevail. The contending ele-
ments, the seniors and the juniors.
have both rallied their forces, aud all
are bedecked in their respective col
ors. Here is the communication that
fell like bomb into the camp of the
juniors:
Room No. s. Rock Island High
dent and Mem bers of the Junior Glass,
Greeting: Your attention has proba bl y
been called to the fact that the senior
class has decided not to allow the mem
bers of the junior class to wear class
colors. In case the fact has escaped
your notice, we again give you warn
ing that any such demonstration will
be considered hostile, and all wearers
of the dirty junior colors will be sum-
marily dealt with by the committee
of I, gulators. BY order of
SENIOR CLASS.
Consider 1t Unauthorized.
President Fred Mueller of the Ju-
nior class. and his cabinet held a
meeting to discuss the recent brush. "
and drafted the following letter, which,
as we say in diplomatic circles. prob
ably closes the incident:
Rock Island. Feb. SO the Presi-
dent of the Senior Glass. Rock Island
High School. Sir: We are in receipt
of a communication, signed the COM
mittee of regulators. by order of the
senior class. AS we do not believe
that this voices the sentiment of the
class as whole, thinking it to be the
work OF few, we heartily svmpa-
thiZe with your class in being so I'M
fortunate as 10 be governed by such a
minority. They, whoever they NAV
be, have established an unwise prece-
dent in challenging the junior class
Unless we receive a communication
to the contrary, we will consider this
challenge as wholly unauthorized by
the senior class. However, we do
not waive any of our rights by this,
but rather present this As straight
forward statement of the facts as we
see them. We are sorry that this at
fair. merely a school matter, has found
its way into the press. with no effort
on our part, as it will probably tend
to cause at least some of the citizens
to look down upon the school as a
whole. Hoping you will be equally
fair minded, we remain,

Atlanta's SHINING mayor has resign
ed. According to a promise made to
the city council. Woodward wrote out
his resignation the first of last Septem-
Der, to have it all ready to hand in in
case he took another drink before the
expiration of his term of Office, jan
uary the first. 1901. Woodward began
drinking hard again and his resigna-
ton had to go in. but the council has
not yet accepted it. Woodward's sins
have created more of a sensation in
Atlanta during his incumbency than
any other sinners sins in the city and
have made his name notorious through
out the land where usually a mayors
name and habits are not known out
side of his own city.

The city hospital for contagious dis
eases can perhaps be carried on more
economically than it is at present,
as also can the entire health depart
ment of the city, but no citizen wants
to see the health department seriously
crippled in any of its parts, especially
just at this time when a large influx
of outsiders is expected. Vigilance in
regard to maintaining the city's health
is worth all it legitimately costs, and
no attempt at saving money would be
justifiable if made at the risk of per-
hitting the spread Of contagious dis
ease in Ell Paso.

Representative Brosius of Pennsyl-
vania has introduced a bill into con-
gress providing that the number OF
representatives should be kept at 357,
the present number. He suggests that
when a new state comes into the union
it should be allowed one representative
who should be added to the fixed num-
Der until the next reapportionment.
when the number should be dropped to
357 again. The present house of rep
resentatives is bulky enough according
to Brosius's notions and in the future
the total should not be increased, but
only such changes in the apportion-
ment made as should be indicated by
the changes in population. 1t is prob
lem Immediately before us with our
immense strides in increase of popula-
ton.

RATIFICATION OF THE
HAY-PAUNCEFOTE TREATY

The ratification of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty by the senate, as announced
In The Herald's dispatches yesterday.
marks another step in one of the most
interesting political and diplomatic
contests in our history. The average
reader has made no attempt to keep
I'D with the question, and even the at
tempt of the Bryanites in the late cam
paign to excite the people against the
Mckinley administration and against
England on account of the treaty nego-
tiations failed to arouse any enthus-
iasm.
The administration has steadfastly
held that the United States is bound
by the provisions of the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty, and that while it is de-
sirable to secure relief from some of
the provisions of that treaty. such re-
lief must come, not from breaking
faith by abrogating the treaty. but
through regular diplomatic negotia-
ton.
The Clayton-Bulwer treaty was con-
sidered, at the time it was made, as
a distinct gain for the United States.
There is no record that the senators
ratified it under protest. The treaty
was openly negotiated and honestly
considered and ratified, and has never
since that time been looked upon by
any American statesmen as being any
thing but an honorable compact, of
binding force. 1t is true that some
of our public men have considered
that the treaty was voidable, on &C
count of the alleged violation of one of
its provisions by England, but no re-
sponsible officials have ever advocated
ignoring the existence of the treaty
Indeed the treaty has at all times been
looked upon as a direct application OF
the so-called Monroe doctrine to Cen
trail America, and it's confirmation by
solemn treaty.
When Secretary Hay began his ne
gotiations with the British ambassador
it was for the purpose of modifying
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and the Sc
curing of additional advantages to this
COuuITy, duu NC SuCCCcucu 81 well IL
this that his achievement should be
considered, and is considered by most
thoughtful students of the subject, as
a diplomatic triumph. He succeeded in
retaining all the good features, and
eliminating all the features which had
been found in practice to be more Oh
less annoying to the United States
The treaty releases us from restric-
tons as to exclusive control of an in
