The Paunce-Hayfoot Treaty.

simultaneously with the dispatch
from Washington announcing that
Lord Pauncefote, the British Ambassa-
dor, had received instruction from
Prime Minister Salisbury, telling him
to continue at his post for an indefinite
period. comes the announcement from
the same news source that the presi-
dent has begun in earnest to exert
pressure upon the senate to ratify the
Paunce- Hayfoot treaty.
Mr.. Lodge, who returned to Wash
ipgton in the early part of the week,
was instructed by the president to join
his persuasive eloquence to the CO.
ercive methods of Hanna and Spooner
for the purpose of lining up all the
halting and hesitating Republican sem
ators in favor of the bill, as he wanted
it ratified, and ratified quickly.
The plan is, if report favoring the
treaty can be brought in by the foreign
relations committee, to rush the rati-
fication resolution through the senate,
in the hot-haste fashion in which the
Porto Ricau tariff bill was tobogganed
through the house.
In this way our pro-British admins
tration hopes to avoid coming into
collision with the snag, that would in
terfere with the smooth sailing of the
Paunce-Hayfoot treaty if the Hepburn
bill. denying the vitality of the Clay
ton Bulwer convention, should be pre-
cedently passed.
But there is another obstruction
which, it seems, will need to be re-
moved before the Paunce-Hayfoot
creation will have a prosperous voyage
DER the ratification sea, and that is
the treaty made in 1897 between the
United States and Costa Rica and Mic
aragua. granting to our government
the sole and exclusive right of con-
structing a canal across their territory.
These twin treaties not only vacated
the Clayton-Bulwer instrument, but
are in direct antagonism to the pro-
visions of the Paunce-Hayfoot docu-
ment, ard, what Is more, the Costa
Rican and Nicaraguan ministers at
Washington have indicated opposition

to the treaty to secure whose ratifica-
tion Great Britain's ambassador is re-
tanned Indefinitely at his post. and the
president is exerting all his Official in
f1uence.
However. as our Anglomaniacal Sec
retary of state has had two of our
armored cruisers, the Marblehead and
Detroit, sent to make a demonstration
at both ends of the proposed canal,
Costa Rica and Nicaragua may be bull
dozed into compliance with the pro-
gramme of Lord Pauncfote and our
noble executive. If they succeed Eng
land will be admitted into full partner
ship in the affairs of the three Amer
icas-that is, until the voters get a
chance to rebuke Mckinley. and other

Juggling With the Constitution.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
1t is becoming difficult to follow the
Administration in its Interpretation OF
the Constitution regarding the status
o. the new insular possessions. The
theory advanced for the emergency
| has been that the Constitution does
not apply to them by it's own force at
all, Congress having unlimited power
to govern them and regulate their af-
fairs as is pleases. 1t is under this
doctrine that a tariff between the
maintained, and the Filipinos are to be
given no rights of American citizen
ship. The Administrations dispatch
| to Gen. Otis, through Secretary Root,
regarding slavery in the Sulus, is,
therefore, bewildering. On October
81, 1899, Secretary Root informed the
general that the Bates treaty with the
sultan was confirmed and approved by
the President, subject to the action of
| Congress; but he added
with the understanding and res
ervation. which should be distinctly
communicated to the sultan of Sulu.
that this agreement is not to be deem
ed in any way to authorize or give
consent of the United States to the ex-
istence of slavery in the Sulu archi-
pelago, which is made impossible by
the 18th amendment to the Constitu
ton of the United States.
From this it appears that the ad-
ministration holds that the Constitu-
tiou of the United States does not ap-
ply to the insular possessions of the
United States, so far as one paragraph
of it is concerned. Slavery cannot
exist in the Sula islands, says the gov
ernment to Gen. Otis, because the
Constitution of the United States for
bids it. In all humility let US ask:
Under what rule of constitution inter-
probation does one section of the Con-
stitution apply, by its inherent force,
to the insular possessions. while all
the othor sections do not apply to
them? The imperialist lawyers have
a fine job before them. To reconcile
the administrations position regard
ing slavery in the Sulus with the i'm
perialist theory OF the limited scope
Iron County register., 1900-03-15

of the Constitution, they must demon =
sirate that one small section of that
instrument has a scope and an expan-
sive force greater than all the rest of
the Constitution put together.

Kentucky.

Mr.. John w. Jacks, editor of the
Montgomery (Mo.) Standard, has re-
turned within the past few days from
a visit to Western Kentucky, where he
has son engaged in the newspaper
] business. Mr.. Jacks says that sensa-
tiOnal developments are impending re-
garding the assassination of Governor
Goebel. and we infer from his manner
of expression that these developments
are expected to strike very close to the
head of the criminal organization that
has been endeavoring to override the
will of the people and establish an i'm
perial military government in the blue
grass State. Whether this inference
is correct or not, the people of the
| United States believe that it is what
ought to happen. The fatal shot was
| fired from a room either adjoining or
almost directly over the one occupied
as a private Office by the usurping
Governor, and when the officers of the
civil law attempted to search the build
ing. they were barred by armed ruff
ans stationed there by order of the
man, who, more than any other, seems
to feel vital interest in preventing
the discovery of the assassin. Subse-
quently when the Legislature decided
to offer large reward for the arrest
and conviction of the murderer, this
same man united his influence with
that of corrupt railroad corporation
in desperate effort to prevent the
passage of the bill. Every Republican
member of the Legislature voted
against it. If the guilty man is not at
the head, or very close to the head of
the lawless organization, why are all
these people SO profoundly interested
In preventing the discovery and pun
ishment of the criminal? Let the de-
velopments come! No matter how
high they may strike, there will be no
great surprise on the part of the public.
Government by assassination goes
hand-in-hand with Imperialism.
After the above was written the dis
patches in the daily papers announced
that Governor" Taylor was shipping
guns, cannon and ammunition into the
Republican mountain districts, aud
arming the desperate ruffians of those
sections, preparatory to fleeing there
himself, because he feared arrest and
prosecution! This is significant
state of affairs. The guilty conscience
needs no accuser. For weeks it has
been apparent that Taylor feared the
inevitable, and now rather than face a
legal investigation of his criminal
acts, he proposes to turn bandit and
defy the authority of the State of Ken
lucky. II such things were to be en-
dured by the people of this country.
how long would it take US to reach |
conditions similar to those that pre-
vailed in Mexico before the strong

Energy Running to Waste.
From CHICAGO Tribune.

From Chicago Tribune.
The proceedings of the mid-year con-
vention of the w. c. T. q. o: New
York, held on Tuesday last, forcibly
illustrate the manner in which reform
ers allow their energy TO run to waste
by attempting to reform too many evils
at once. The first action of the con-
vention was the signing of petition
to have the play of .'Sapho" suppressed
and the appointment of a committee to
confer with the police as to the stop
page of the sale OF the novel "Sapho"
on the street. Then arrangements
were made to influence the Legislature
to repeal the Horton boxing law.
This work accomplished, report
was in order setting forth what had
been done to suppress Mrs. Langtry
and her bar-maids. The convention
| next proceeded to haul Voice, the tenn
perance organ, over the Goals for
printing full page advertisement of
sarsaparilia which contains Sc per
cent. of alcohol. Voice having been
sufficiently roasted, resolutions were
passed urging Congress to adopt an
antipolygamy amendment to the con-
stitution; also declaring in favor of
ending the Boer war, and asking Mrs.
Choate to undertake the embarrassing
duty of presenting to Queen Victoria
the united prayers OF the w. G. 7. u.
that she will settle the war by arbitra-
tion. Then the convention adjourned,
apparently satisfied with its work,
though it has not had nor will it pro-
badly have the slightest effect upon
any one of the evils under considera-
tion.
The proceedings of this convention
are fair illustration of the way in
which reformers squander energy as
we'll as time, and sometimes money.
They are not content with attacking
single evil and continuing the attack
until it is overcome. They must de-
scend upon all the evils in one fell
swoop and extirpate them all in day.
This is particularly true of female re-
formers and illustrates the feminine
trait of impatience. When a woman
wants thing she wants it right off.
Applied to the eradication of evils the
desire is praiseworthy, but the method
is futile. They would accomplish
more lasting results If they would
abandon the policy of scatteration and
adopt iu its place the concentration of
energy.
