COLD WAVE COMING
Severe Weather Indicated for tn Ne1t
Two or Three Days.
Heavy Winds Will Blow and Exi.t-
ence Outdoors Will BE Any
thing bat Pleasant.

Something very much like blizzard is
coming. il the representations of the
weather bureau are correct. 1t is sadly
true that very frequently the results mete-
geological are Numerically opposed to
what the solons in charge Of storms and
such indicate, and this condition led an
trreverent man the other day to PROFOUND
conundrum.
Why" he inquired-"Why are the
weather bureau forecasts like dreams?'
Because they come true" promptly re-
piled the Intercepted, who happened to be
weather bureau man himself
May" responded the other: you are
wrong, brother. Weather bureau forecasts
are like dreams because they go by con-
traries."
The chances are very strong, however,
that the announcement for the next wealth
er period will prove correct, because pres
ent conditions are all favorable to it. The
warning was sent out during the forenoon
to hoist the cold-wave flag, with the state
ment that the temperature would fall 20
degrees by Saturday night. In addition
heavy snow is promised for this afternoon
and tonight. and to make the cold more
evident high northeasterly winds will blow
The cause Of all this condition is a storm
that developed over the east gulf states
yesterday, and was central this morning
over Georgia and coming this way in great
shape. The heavy snowfall is due to it's
movement, and following its passage a cold
wave will come, with freezing temperature
as far as northern Florida. Northeast
storm signals are now up from Hatteras to
Cape Cod, and even northern Mexico and
Cuba have been warned to expect strong
northerly winds and low temperature.
1t is pretty certain that severely cold
weather will be felt in this section during
the next two or three days, and while it is
not regarded as at all probable that the
visitation will be anything like as violent
as that of February a year ago, it will be
all-sufficient in the way of causing discom-
fort to the well-to-do: and suffering and
misery to the poor, who, it should be re-
membered. and remembered substantially,

A PEACEFUL SOLUTION.

The plan for settling the political conflict in
Kentucky to which all the conferrees agreed on
Monday night does not, of course, bind Gov
ernor Taylor. but he is expected to accept 1t to-
day. 1t would seem virtually impossible for
him not to abide by an agreement which seven
of the most influential Republicans in the State
including the LieutenantGovernor, recommend
TO all concerned an honorable solution of the
difficulty, even though he should on full con-
sideration deem it unjust and unwise For
there is apparently quarter from which he
could hope to derive the necessary support for
a policy of resistance. Public opinion has IN
mistakably declared itself against his course In
adjournng the Legislature ard ignoring the
courts, and 1t is probable that the troops whose
obedience TO his orders has alone enabled him
to maintain his position thus far would prompt
~ desert him if he should reject the terms of
settlement.
1t must be acknowledged that the agreement
reached at Louisville gives every advantage to
the Democrats, for it provides that all inter
ference with the Legislature shall cease, and
that if on after Monday next it shall in joint
session declare that Goebel and Beckham were
elected, Taylor and Marshall shall submit with
out further protest. If there has been a great
moral illumination In Kentucky, il is conceiv-
able that the Democratic majority in the Legis-
lature will refuse to ratify the action of the
State Contest Board, but there is, we fear, no
reason to doubt that Governor Taylor will be
ousted 1t is a surprising fact that the agree
ment, If fully and accurately reported, makes
no provision for an appeal to the courts, but we
suppose 1t may be accounted for, in part at
least by the prevalent feeling that the man
who was honestly elected in November and
legally installed month ago has lost standing
with the people by reason of his conduct during
this critical period. 1t is possible also that
political considerations were influential. the Re
publicans believing that their position in the
coming campaign will be stronger If they now
submit in advance to an injustice which other
wise their adversaries would probably have sue
ceeded in accomplishing without much further
delay.
The Democrats have made one concession
which indeed ought not to have caused them
| the slightest regret, which may perhaps in
| dictate a publication Of party sentiment and
which in any seems capable of producing
| salutary results. They have pledged themselves
| TO cooperate with the Republicans in bringing
| about "such a modification of the election law
'as will provide for non-partisan Election
| Boards and insure free and fair elections" If
| that task is undertaken in good faith noble
compensation for the tragedy and the perils OF
the last week may ne secured.

all intents and purposes reversed It, It stands
In the records of the Court a monument TO a
political lost cause.
II Chief Justice fancy and Justice Campbell
were right, not only was the Constitution vlo-
lated by Territorial legislation at every stage in
the country's development but, as Henry
Adams has said. all the treaties acquiring new
territories were unconstitutional, for they
changed the nature of the old Union. The oppo-
nents of the Louisiana Purchase were right,
then in asserting that the Constitution was a
contract the Federal Government a firm, and
that its managers could not introduce into 1t
new members without the consent of all the
partners. The Federaiists predicted that the
Louisiana Purchase would make q new Consti-
tuition and a Government with sovereign
powers. Perhaps ii did. But the Government
and the Constitution made by the Louisiana
Purchase have been the Government and Con-
stitution of the United States for almost hun
dred years, and it is hard to take seriously as q
guide for the solution of present and future
problems partisan constitutional theory which
inevitably reaches the conclusion that almost at
the beginning the United States and its Consti-
tuition parted company.

no belligerent ship would be allowed to remain
IN the canal as in an asylum. 1t would have to
pass right through and as soon az IL got out
SIDE of the neutral waters ii would he subject to
attack. We could not blockade the mouth of
the canal within distance of three miles. But
outside of the three mile line our Navy could
form Gordon or maintain patrol that would
effectively bar the canal to the foe. 1t is
scarcely supposable that many hostile ships
would care TO pass through canal under our
inspection and run the risk of finding squad
ron of ours waiting for IL three miles out from
the other end Nor is it supposable that any
Power would try the desperate expedient OF
Selling the canal and holding it for its own
against That would be to invoke retribu-
ton at the hands of the othe- maritime Powers
of the world whose rights would thus have
been invaded and outraged. OF course, there is
always the possibility of some extreme action
in the exercise of war powers which would over
ride and nullify all treaty stipulations. If 1t
came to that he has a poor opinion of the
United States who supposes that, with its adj
vantage Of position, ii would be caught mapping
or would fail TO come out ahead In that game.
The question seems TO be whether the United
States is big enough and brave enough and
strong enough to open this canal to the world
and trust its own ability to cope with whatever
improbable emergencies may arise, or is so
given to seeing ghosts that IL must line the
canal with fortresses and sit up o. nights to
watch lest some bad pirate enter 1t. To that
question 1t should not take long to give an
answer.

THE NEW CANAL TREATY.

We publish this morning the full text Of the
new treaty between this country and Great
Britain concerning the proposed 1sthmian canal.
There is much that is of interest in II, but
nothing that will prove surprising to those who,
from our special London and Washington CORE
spondence have kept themselves accurately in
formed as TO the purport and progress of the
negotiations Of which this treaty is the fruit 1t
will for example, be noted that there u.s. as we
Eaid yesterday, absolutely hint in it of a
sconcession TO Canada" or any other quid pro
quo. There was as we shall see hereafter, no
occasion for one. Neither is there any sweeping
abrogation of The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty On
the contrary, much-aIl that is good-in the lat
Ger remains in force and is actually fortified by
the new convention. So far as the Monroe Doc
Urine is concerned, the new treaty will leave us
just where have all along been. 1t is not
with any such matters that the negotiators have
been busying themselves.
The purport OF the treaty is. in the first place.
TO authorize the construction, regulation, man.
agement, policing, etc, of the canal by the
United States, acting alone That, 1t is agreed.
could not properly have been done under the
Clayton-Bulwer Treaty without danger of un-
pleasant misunderstanding. And that ii is also
pretty generally agreed, is what the United
States is DESTROYS of doing. In the second place,
the treaty aims TO define more precisely and
effectively what is meant by neutrality" of the
canal. 1t does so in the NEST practical manner
by applying 10 the Nicaragua Canal the identi-
cal rules which have for the last dozen years
been in force on the Suez Canal The Suez rules
have worked admirably at Suez as the world
knows. Great Britain, to which Power the
canal is of by far the highest Importance, seems
entirely content with them as sufficiently safe
guarding her interests, while no other Power
has. complained Of them as being too partial TO
Great Britain.
There is, Of course difference between the
two. The Nicaragua Canal will be more init
tnately associated with this countrys peace and
comfort than the Suez Canal is with Great
Brifsin's. II will be a highway between our
two coasts and the only waterway between
them, while the Suez Canal is only one of two
routes Between Great Britain and some of her
colonies. Nevertheless, in international law the
two are theoretically the came, and the same
rules may logically be applied TO both In
brief, the rules provide that in both peace and
war all ships of ali nations shall be free TO use
the canal II we were at war with some nation
we should have no right &c block the canal
against its ships nor to attack them while they
were traversing IL. In fl and in the waters for
Daaree miles around its mouths beIliQerents
would be forbidden TO attack each other. But
