A year ago. it seems. Lord Salisbury was
willing to throw the Clayton Bulwer
treaty in the waste basket, but Canada
stopped the movement by insisting that 1t
should be made the basis of trade for
the surrender of American territory on
our Alaskan coast. The British imperial
authorities are equally well disposed in
the premises now; but the Canadians are
again likely TO make trouble by claiming
the support OF the mother country in
Alaska as a reward for loyalty and volun-
teers for South Africa. This Canadian
provincial swapping at our heels has gone
on until 1t has become monotonous II
it is not abandoned at once steps should
be taken without any delay 20 make our
neighborhood commercially uncomfortable
on the border. A very little exemplary
legislation would bring the Canadians TO
their senses.

The Ohio ConventiOn.-That Mark
Hanna alone controls the party machine
in Ohio, as well as the nation, is illus
trated by the announcement made yester-
day from Hanna headquarters that after
conference the night before with the
Ohio leaders In Washington the Senator
decided that the Republican convention to
nominate State ticket and elect delegates
to Philadelphia shall be held in the last
week Of April. He has sent Representa-
tive Charles Dick, who is nominally the
Chairman of the State Committee. to Ohio.
with instructions to set the machinery in
motion at once so there can be no mis-
haps. According to Mr.. Hanna's order
the district conventions will meet prior to
the State convention and elect their dele
gates and alternates, so the way will be
cleared when the big convention meets
for the Hanna slate to go through without
a scratch or crack. The most important
officer to be nominated is secretary of
state. The Hanna candidate for this po-

The question Of domestic trade with
parts OF the United States not fastened to
the mainland, it appears, will have to be
settled By the Supreme Court. The Ad-
ministration has been forced to give up
the idea OF free trade with Porto Rico by
the threats Of the tobacco, sugar. and rum
protectionists; but the existence of in
sular rights TO recognition as American
territory are before the Federal courts
already and ultimately will reach the
tribunal OF last resort. What that body
will decide is not reasonably open to
doubt, in view OF the early and clear die
tum of Chief Justice Marshall. But, in
the mean time, the curse of Dingleyism
viii be kept in operation against the new
possessions, to placate the Chinese pro-
tectionists. and before a decisive case can
reach the Supreme Court the Presidential
election will be over. Then il will be pos
sible for Mr.. Mckinley to assure the to-
bacco, sugar, and rum patriots of his re-
greet that the Constitution of the United
States, as interpreted by the judicial de-
partment of the Government. will in future
prevent the oppression and starvation OF
the American people OF the American ISL
and of Porto Rico for their benefit and
profit.

POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.

QuiEg's Mysterious Incomc.-Tb.
Bosom of reform is making such a wide
sweep in New York politics at present that
actually there is talk OF a movement to
institute an investigation into the income
oil the Hon. Lemuel Ely Quigg. This
young statesman's critics are pointing out
that he tolls not. neither does he spin.
and yet he fourisheth like unto a green
bay tree. Some folks are cruel enough TO
openly charge that since he left Congress
he has had no visible means of support
ana still he is managing to store up riches
where moth cannot corrupt nor thieves
break in and steal. 1t Is true that Lcmuel
is chairman of the Republican County
Committee, but 1t is so generally under
stood that this is a position only Of hoIor
and trust, without stipulated or implied
emoluiIents, that naturally curiosity has
been aroused as to what he does to make
an income estimated all the way from
100000 to $4,000 year. The committee
OF which he is the chairman is. of course,
part OF the Plat machine, otherwise. 1t
goes without saying there would be no
committee at all. 1t Is known, too. that
the mystifying Quigg makes frequent trips
to Albany when the State solons are IN
session there. and 1t is suggested T. at
these visits may account for his exultant
riding on the crest OF the wave of pIos-
perity. 1t Is regarded as possible that
some inpertineut enquiries may be put to
the young statesman out of a job along
this line with the view OF strengthening
the support OF the queer lobby bill now
pending at Albany.

Another Richmond in the Field


considerable section Of the Pennsylvania
press is now loudly booming Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith for Vice
President. The fact that the agitation Is
at present confined almost exclusively to
the country papers is regarded as of posi-
BILE significance IL is known that some
statesmen prefer to start great movements
in the small papers rather than in the
metropolitan sheets. The advantage it
gives them In certain circumstances is OBJ
vious. 1t is limited that some of the fine
things being said about Mr.. Smith in the
Pennsylvania papers are composed in the
Republican Literary Bureau, located in this
city, and over which the Hon. Perry S.
Heath acknowledges that he presides when
he divests himself of the character Of
First Assistant Postmaster General after
office hours" and steps out into the Won
derng world as Il modest and humble pri-
vate citizen. of course. il this is true it
is generally believed TO be in the line of
following the fixed programme OF the party
machine with regard to the Vice Presi-
dency-which Is to impress upon the
credulous public mind the belief that there
is really going to be 4 struggle for second
place on the ticket. and that the conviction
in weIl-informed circles that the Phila
delphia convention is going to be cut
and-dried affair is not founded on fact.
And so 1t is expected that the Hon.
Charles Emory Smith will have raging
boom for the Vice Presidency for day or
two. or until the machine gets ready to
couple another name with the tail of the
ticket. Meantime the cynics continue to
calculate "ha! ha," whenever this sub
ject Is mentioned and To put their money
on the Hon. Cornelius n. Bliss for second
place with Mr. Mckinley.

pears that every member of the Missouri

Eulogies of BIand.-No day has vet
been set aside by the House for eulogies
OF the late Richard Parks Bland. 1t was
the irony of fate that the great Mis-
sourian's death was announced officially to
the House by his devoted friend, Judge De
Almond. Immediately after the Republican
gold standard bill had passed. Since that
day no mention of BANDS name-a name
that used TO have such weight in Congress
has been made in the House. Members of
Congress who filled much smaller niche in
public esteem than that occupied for nearly
a quarter of a century by the clear-h headed
and simple hammered gentleman who died
lighting for the principles that he espoused
when he first entered public life, have been
eulogized in the House. The reason no
eulogtas have been passed upon Mr.. Bland
is that his widow has not yet designated
the date that would be agreeable to her.
1t is understood that Mrs. Bland has been
consulted on the subject by Judge De Ar
mond and other members of the House who
were known to be sincere friends OF the
dead statesman and that they are waiting
on her to name both the date and the
eulogists. It Is expected that Mrs. Bland
will be in Washington shortly and until
she comes probably nothing definite will be
known as to when Mr. BANDS character
and achievements will be set forth in pam
egyrics by his former colleagues.

News From EngInnd.-The Hon. Hugh
Wallace. of the State OF Washington. ap-
pears to be spreading some queer news in
England. Mr.. Wallace left this city few
weeks ago for the tight little island"
and according to special cablegram from
London printed yesterday he is talking to
the credulous Britishers just like his kind
of statesmen talked four years ago. IN
less Mr.. Wallace has been misrepresent-
ed by London interviewer he is telling
our British cousins that the Democratic
party this year will nominate either Dew
ey, German. Olney. or Justice Peckham. on
the platform of freedom. trade. and sympa-
thy with the independence of the Trans
vaal opposition to subordination of the
civil TO the military power opposition to en-
tangling alliances, and opposition to any
compromise with respect to the bounda
ries OF our country" Mr. Wallace, ii will
be remembered, fell outside of the breast
works in 1896. and it is thought probable
that he then sustained an injury which
has caused his mental faculties TO revolye
around names and issues that we're then
Democratic household words. When he
was last in this city he expressed
regret that he had been beaten for re-
election to the Democratic National Com
mittee. but hoped he would be able TO re-
sumo his old place in the party councils
this year. II may be that Mr.. Wallace is
having fun with the Britishers. whose
ignorance of American politics is proven
bal. If he has been quoted correctly and
was not joking his friends declare they
have cause to feel uneasy about him.
