Mayor Smyth of Charleston in re

1899, and of July l9h, 1902; The

THE AMENDED HAY-PAUNCEFOTE
TREATY

1t is not wholly unlikely that the Eng
Pauncefote treaty in its amended form
without further ado.
AS far as we are concerned, it would
hardly seem possible to have given the
treaty a more disadvantage form. 1t
practically declares that the canal shall
not be neutral, yet we shall not have the
right to fortify it, position which is
both illogical and absurd in the extreme
Between complete neutrality and COM
plete control the question is a choice
between two sets of advantages and dis
advantages. The present is a halfway
measure that offers all the objections and
none OF the advantages of the two logical
extremes.
The admirers of the amended treaty tell
us that if the enemy in case of war
ever tries to run his fleet through the
canal, we can blow UP his ships with
torpedoes or open the locks on him be-
fore he gets half way through Very
well! But the enemy will not try to run
his ships Throughout unless he is a
driveling idiot. If we get into war, the
first move the enemy makes will be to
get at that canal and smash up the locks
and blow up the dams, leaving us In

mined by the character of the men who,
having something in common, make the
saloon their rendezvous. Their common
ground may be their nationality as the
name Italian headquarters implies, or it
may be their occupation, as indicated by
the names Mechanics Exchange Mi k
mans Exchange etc; or, if their poit-
cal Affiliations are their common ground,
there are the Democratic Headquarters
Oh the Eighteenth Ward etc.
This language cannot of course be re-
garded as anything like an accurate
representation of the existing conditions
But ii approximates them. 1t shows the
general condition; and, as we say, to
those who know the actual conditions
of the lives of the masses in the large
cities, it touches responsive cord.
AS long as movements designed to Sc
cure a moral, social or political better
ment choose to ignore these classes, or
as long as such men remain aloof from
them, the result is bound to be ultimately
failure-failure, complete and enduring.
They are merely class movements. They
do not appeal to the mass whom they
seek to reform. A leading reformer has
borhoods in which social vice is most
general the decent, poor, people refuse
to offer any aid because they DO not
want to be regarded as informers. There
is a world of human nature in that fear
Fashionable churches, their ministry and
their membership choose to ignore such
people eleven months, aye, and eleven
months and three weeks, in each year,
and then come to them with hands out
stretched to ask their cooperation. They
do not get it, and they never will, as
lines
Such movements must begin from be-
low, rather than from above. When they
have this beginning they may succeed.
All the committees of hgh-toned people
that may be appointed from now till
doomsday will never reach the masses of.
the great cities. The masses have been
left by the classes to work out their own
salvation, social and moral, in their own
way from time immemorial, and they re-
gard the new-fedged reformers as just
so many interlopers. They have seen in
the past that the most prominent among
such rcformers have wound up by get
ting good public places, and they have
seen the reforms they ostensibly aimed at
flag thereafter, and the old conditions re-
sumo their sway.
If the ordinary man refuses to accept
these reformers at their own or the
worlds estimate of them the fault is the
fault of the reformers, not Of the masses.

GRAND.

James, Neiu and the NeiH company
concluded their weeks engagement at
the Grand last night with the presenta-
ton of Bronson Towards comedy Arts
tocracy" The play VerffeS the truth of
the old adage, Satan finds some mis-
chief still for idle hands to do" for all
the members of this ''Aristocracy'' seem
to possess a penchant for the gentle art
of flirting. In one or two cases this pen
chant developes into passion, hence the
story of the play. Mr.. Howard has
written a clever satire on that type Of
American society whose purses are as
long as their lineage is short and on
that corresponding English type whose
ineages are long and whose purses are

for conSidera ton. Many members of
the London smart set are introduced in
the play and some Of them are interest

repose of a manner, so peculiarly Mr..
Neilis own is eminently suited TO tie
part he plays. When a little more dTa-
matte force is necessary, as for instance
in the scuffle with Prince Emil, he full
fills all requirements. AS good in its way

ious piece of work was Mr. Howard's
prince. AS the marquis of NOrmandale
George Bloomquist showed that a char

women were all satisfactory. Miss Chap
man surpassed herself as Diana Stockton.
Especially good was she in the scele
with the prince There was no effect
of over-acting. Miss Lamkin as Virgin

exactly the same position as if that canal
had never been built, except that Wei
be out it's cost of $500, 100000 To do this
would suit the purpose of the enemy a
great deal better than to run his own
fleet through it, as it would again make
it impossible for our Pacific and Atlantic
fleets to cooperate. In case of war, the
enemy would at once send as large a fleet
as possible to destroy the canal, and We
would have to keep a still larger fleet
there to prevent it.
But even then the canal would not be
safe by any means 1t will run through
cred with tropical forest affording ideal
opportunities for the operations of such
secret agents as the enemy might send
to destroy the locks and dams by dyna
mite. And as to the governments through
whose territory the canal will pass, be it
far from US to insinuate that they could
be bribed to connive at such plots against
our canal-but-but-
In case of war we shall have to main
tain fleet at either end strong enough
to keep the enemy from getting at it,
and the same fleet would have suf1fced
to keep the enemy out, had the canal
been neutral; but now the enemy has
the right to destroy it, if he can get at
it, which he would not have been al
lowed to do if its neutrality had been
guaranteed by the powers. Such a
guarantee would not have given Euro
pean powers any occasion to NEEDLE
with American affairs On the contrary;
it would have pledged the canal to per-
pctual peace and neutrality, pledge
which every nation would have been
obliged to keep sacred, even in case of a
war against us.
The probability of rival canal at
Panama must also be borne in mind
By rejecting absolute neutrality, the
senate has entered upon path the only
logical conclusion of which is for the
United States to take control Of all of
Central America and the isthmus Of
Panama. If that is what the senate is
driving at-of course, that is a different
question altogether.

High or low church is now a question

has ardent supporters, and the discussion
is getting to be warm. At the recent

diocese of Fond du Lac, Wis, ritualism
reached the highest point yet attempted
by the high church party. Incense was
used and the people kneeled to receive

the magnificent pomp and ceremony be-
fitting great church, or bare devotional
exercises, relying for their effect upon
devout hearts rather than extrinsic
show?
