There Is virtually nothing tangible in the
dispatches to justify the belief that Cen
Butler Is again engaged in a general at
tack upon the Beers. There are rumors
from Durham that there has been heavy
hring. and fragmentary cablegrams from
London suggesting that movement of
some sort Is under way. But the war office
Is portentiously silent regarding details
leaving the field free for speculation. The
oeiief that Gen. Butler will make one more
attempt to relieve Ladysrnith is apnarentIv
based upon the assumption that the general
desire In England is for the succortng of
that unfortunate garrison, and that Rritisb
public opinion would excuse Buffers nra
vious mistakes and failures In the light of
rescue Of White, at whatever cost. Rut
where would this leave the general cam
paign? Ladysmith's relieved garrison would
scarcely add enough to the British force to
offset the sacrifices necessary in the OPERA
ticn- The movement would not strengthen
the hands Of the British commander in
Natal. Ladysmith is not an important
st. ategic point, The gateways to the
enemy's country lie further on and are
heavily fortified. 1t would merely add to
the area to be defended pending a general
advance. 1t might even precipitate another
coup by the Beers. who are so mobile that
they flow readily behind an advancing
army.
The main hope of the British now. aside
from the sentiment Of relieving Ladysmith.

The formal amendment o. the clayton
Bulyer treaty, long step f"WiIr" winch
has Just been taken by the American Sec
rotary of State and the British amh'ssa-
dor at this capital. will mateTla " clear the
way for the completion of the Nicaragua
canal as a strictly American enterprise.
This treaty has been a stumbling plock 1or
many years to prevent the consummation
of an enterprise desired by virtually all OF
the American people and demanded oy
every consideration of self-defense, trace
and progress. The American view mas IN
creasfngly been that the treaty was abro-
gated through the actions OF Great BRITAIN
in securing an enlarged possession of 18TH
milan lands subsequent to the promise,
given in this treaty. TO abstain from ex-
tending the British sphere of influence In
Central America. Nevertheless the states
men at London have persistently held to
the contention that the treaty was in full
force and have from time time pressed
for an American proposition which should
acknowledge the right of England to a
Joint partnership in the control of the
canal
The developments in Congress since the
present session opened have been markedly
suggestive of an insstent American pur-
pose TO construct the canal as an American
enterprise 1t is not yet known just what
Influences have been brought to bear to
give this purpose such point i'll the field
OF diplomacy as to bring England TO bet
ter understanding of the case. Nor are the
precise terms of the new agreement suf-
ficirntly known to warrant unreserved con-
ordinations upon the diplomatic victory.
But il seems Gear that as far the con-
troll Of the canal goes the United States
wins the long disputed point and that the
waterway will be constructed by American
capital as a government highway There
may be restrictions to Notifications
which some ultra advocates of exclusive
American control will lind objectionable.
Yet il must be recol'e cted that in the de-
Tense of the canal in time of war the Amer
lean fleets will be of paramount efficiency.
The main point for gratitude is that the
canal can now be built, provided the Sen
ate ratifies the new treaty or agreement,
III accordance with the Overwhelming
American ideal and with the bills now
pending in both House and Senate. There
need be no delay to hear the report of the
commission now at work on the isthmus.
There is sufficient information at hand to
warrant Judgment. That commission was
palrably device of those interests inimicai
to The enterprise which, though not strong
enough to defeat the project outright. were
nevertheless strong enough to 1ilibuster in
d short session to the point of forcing
compromise made for delay. There is moth
ing more important pending before Con-
gress at this session than this item, which
already stands on the calendars of the two
houses with favorable reports from COM
mittees and an overwhelming public senti-
ment behind it.

The Kentucky Situation.

The rews from Kentucky is altogether
OF an assuring character. The conferences
reported as having taken place between
Lieut.. Gov. Marshall on the one side and
Mr. Blackburn on the other side have only
to be continued, as doubtless they will be,
and whatever agreements reached lived I'D
to. 10 insure a satisfactory settlement of
the difficulty. Lieut.. Gov. Marshall would
appear fully to represent Gov. Taylor, and
there can be no doubt of the authority of
MIR. Blackburn TO speak for the other side
Since Mr.. Goebers death he is easily the
leader of that side. and doubtless Mr.
Beckham will ratify Mr.. Blackburns acts
and agreements to the fun.
The main point is the promised reassem-
bling Of the legislature at Frankfort. That
Is the proper place for the meeting of that
body Gov. Taylor erred in dispensing the
body IN the first place. Public sentiment
has condemned that act. and resembling the
order was the proper step to take. With the
legislature reassembled in Frankfort, there

with all the forms of law, legislative dec

possible, be based upon that

differed. In Gen Castleman for adjutant
general the Goebelites have secured a man
OF very high character and ability He is
an ex-confederate, and served with credit
through the war with Spain. With such a.
man in charge of the military on the one
side. ard an ex-federal Of equal merit and
ability in the person of Gen. Collier in
charge OF the military on the other side,
hrmness without swagger may be expected
from both sides, so far as these two men
can command the situation.

My Uncle inns wonder:
He would know jest what to do
In military crisis
Say, another Waterloo.
He could figure in a minute
How his side might win the daA
And get out with banners flynn
But none ever came his way.
In political transactions
He has foresight rare and keen.
He would know what strings to null a,
As he stood behind the scene,
In "coo-dy-tah," 1 tell you,
Genius! That's what he'd display.
Changin' all the face of hist'ry-
But none ever came his way.
An as fur financeerin',
That is where his talent shines;
He knows how folks should handle
Railroad pools an banks an mines
Putin through big undertakings
Seems to him pastime gay.
He could fix 'em in a jiffy-
But none ever came his way.
Uncle Jim is Twin quiet
In his house behind the hill,
An the world goes on without him
Missin' all his brains and skill.

Would have felt his master sway
Had occasion only offered
But none ever came his way.

An Atkfnsonian FaIIacy.

A fair sample of the fallacy of anti-ex-
pansion reasoning is presented in the course
or an article by Edward Atkinson in the
current number of the North American Re-
view under the title Eastern Commerce.
What is 1t WORTH II is somewhat diff
cult TO discern the writer's precise answer
10 hls own query In one vein he declares
that eastern commerce Is worth nothing to
the tnited states, while In another he as
serts that It Of importance at the present
measure and that 1t Is developine in q
great ratio. The entire composition aims
at two propositions, first the institution of
free trade between the United States and
the rest of the world; second the denuncia-
ton OF the Philippines war as Criminal
aggression"
Thus do two familiar phrases connie
themselves, free trade and CRIMINAL ar
gression-" The anu-expansion cause IL not
aided in It's appeal to the national intelu-
gence by the association. Mr.. Atkinson ia
not happy in his argument. 1t will not
withstand scrutiny. II does not hang to-
gether- In one place he says
IF We subjugate the Philippine Islands
what VIII be the possible Increase in their
purchasing power? Although we have been
the largest buyers Of Manila hemn and
PeNtppine sugar for many years purchase

is that Gen. Roberts can concentrate a
sufficient force in the west to break through
to the Orange Free State and thus to carry
the war into the enemy's territory. Bull
ler's success in relieving Ladysmith would
in no wise assist In the contamination Of
this design. and might weaken Gen. Rob-
erts chances Of success by sacrificing val
uahle troops. Indeed, the military futility
of succoring this besieged garrison. aside
from the moral effect Of striking British
victory, is being recognized now even among
those Englishmen who are most deter
mined in calling for an advance by Butler
The dispatches of next few days may re-
solve present doubts materially. Meanwhile
the censor at Cape Town and the war Of
flee at London are rendering effective ser
vice IN keeping the situation dark.

Japanese in Hawaii,
From the New York Tribune.

More than 10000 Japanese immigrants ar
rived at Hawaii last year, the flow contin-
Jung una bated, with the prospect of still
larger influx for the twelvemonth to come
There is no fault to be found with this in
crement to our provincial population. ex-
cept that it is, perhaps, too generous. The
Japanese are good workers, peaceful, or
derby. thrifty, and we are on the best Of
terms with them in their own country and
elsewhere. But in view of the advancing
tidal wave of them threatening to submerge
the Islands. which are of rather limited
area all told, 1t seems desirable that a def
mite plan of government and Administered ton
should be provided for them without delay
or the interDosition Of unnecessary con-
gressional obstacles.

rs there not something grotesquely alb
surd In the commercial support which Is
given to this Philippine war? 1t will not
in any measure help to increase our COM
merce with Japan. with British India, with
Borneo or Sumatra- The only argument
in its favor consists in its advocates hold
ing up brilliant expectation of the de-
yelopment of commerce with the Philip
pine Islands. where white men cannot live
and work. and as stepping stone to get
ting q larger share of the commerce with
China. Our commerce with the province
of Manchuria has increased very greatly
since Russia obtained a sphere OF inf1u-
ence. Our commerce with every part of
China that comes under British influence
must greatly increase. so far as her super
vision gives stability and maintains order"
When it suits his purpose to show that
there Is trade enough to be secured on the
continent of Asia without the Philippines.
Mr. Atkinson argues that the interposi-
ton Of strong power over developing bar
barians makes for stability and consequent
commerce. When it suits his purpose to
denounce the future commercial value of
the Philippines he declares that American
control and supervision over the natives
will not advance their purchasing power
enlarge their wants. 1t is verify a poor
rule that will not work both ways.
But this whole declara ton Is based upon
the assumption, frequently stated, that the
war in the Philippines was instituted and
is being maintained solely for commercial
ends. This untruth has been frequently
refuted and is repudiated by the most emf
nent and honorable citizens of the country.
Nothing is palmer than that the present
conditions grew out of a suddenly incurred
responsibility. which it was impossible to

more onerous and difficult by the misrepre-
sensations and the unpatriotic agitation of
Mr.. Atkinson and his associates. Furious
assertions to the contrary will not jar
the pen of the recording historian in the
slightest. Illogical arguments against the
trade possibilities of the archipelago. re-
futed by their own declarations. will not
becloud the public mind into accepting the
Aid Sooiety's dictum that this is an I'M
holy war of criminal aggression and that
free trade is the only remedy for the evil.

or Emilio Aguinaldo has lied. The former
says. over his signature:
The statement Of Emilio Aguinaldo, as
recently published in the Springfield Repub-
hcan, SO far as 1t relates to me- Is a tissue
of falsehoods.''
Most of us will be satisfied with this evil
dence. Those who continue to regard the
Filipino statements truthful virtually
accuse the admiral of the American navy
of falsehood. These are plain terms, but
euphemistic language may obscure the
whole point at issue.

Consular reform is great business ques-

themselves to it. The reform will not come
from within. The politicians will not sur
render the spoils without struggle, but
the trade interests of the country have the
power to compel submission. Candidates.
for Congress are eager for the support of
merchants and manufacturers, and should
be made to agree to vote to place the con-
sular service on a business basis.
