That being unquestionably true, no OBJ
jeot would be accomplished by any offer
of Intervention. unless. indeed, it were
seriously proposed to couple 1t with the
implied threat OF Intervention by arms
10 end the struggle. as was done in the
case Of Spain and Cuba. 1t is hardly
likely that the most radical friends Of
the Beers in this country would care 70
go to this extreme.
OF course the attempt will be made to
make political capital out Of the refusal
OF the administration to depart from it's
attitude of strict neutrality and nom
interference in the South African war.
The course Of the Democratic leaders
on the question. and their attempts to
commit the government to an express
sion of sympathy, with one party TO the
struggle. are carefully designed and In
ing to extract some grain OF polit-
ical capital from inevitable failure.
There is no doubt, however. that
the attitude OF the administra-
ton Is the correct and proper one.
which will commend itself to the best
judgment of the country. 1t is the only
one consistent not only with internal
tional law but with the maintenance of
the Monroe doctrine that means so
much to this nation.

Seattle, Feb. ]. 1900
To the Editor: l notice with pleasure
the prominent and full account which the
Observation-Disclosures gave OF the action or
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday IN
passing resolution opposing legislation
against pile RATS. I notice, however, in
the closing paragraph of the report an err
ror which might possibly give wrong i'm
preston OF tho action OF the chamber. The
impression which intended to convey be-
fore the chamber was that fully rs per
cent. of all the shipping interests OF ths
Sound ana San Francisco were opposed 10
the proposed legislation against pile ats.
or course, II goes without saying that the
Chamber OF Commerce would not pass a
resolution which is inimical to the greater
importance OF shipping interests on the
Coast.

which give the subject study and in

leo half a century ago. Neither in deal

leo half century ago. Neftner IN deai-
ing with such territory have the con-
stitutional provisions always been OBJ
served. For example, the constitution
provides that the tenure of office of the
federal judiciary shah be during good
behavior while the congress has made
the tenure of federal Judges in the terri
tories four years and the supreme court
has upheld the power Of the president to
remove such judges in his discretion.
Yet it should be remembered that by
congressional enactment the constitu-
ton and laws OF the United states have
been extended over the organized ter
ritories, which fact has prevented the
question from ever arising for judicial
determination whether the constitution
extends over them by its inherent force.
Sound reason seems with the conclu-
sion that the constitution Of the United
states, as a compact between the orig
inal states. is applicable in its terms
only to them and to such other states
as by admission into the Union have
become parties TO the compact, and that
so far as after acquired territory is con-
cerned the power OF passing needful
rules and regulations for its govern
ment. in every respect Is left to be ex-
ercised by congress In it's discretion.

No election contest was ever based
upon more ridiculous allegation than
that advanced by the Democrats OF
Kentucky. They say that they were
"over-awed" at the polls by the state
militia. Now we know exactly how far
the gun-bearing Kentuckian is likely
to have his ballot Influenced by a mil
itiaman. A farmer once caught sturdy
rascal making across the fields with
sheep slung over his shoulders. He
did not deny that IL was the farmers
sheep. or that he had killed II. His ex-
cuse was that, IL he were going along
peaceably and anybody's sheep came up
unprovoked and bit him, that sheep
would have TO die.

Patriotism Above Party.

The new revolt against the negations
OF Organism, the protest OF the old-line
Democrat who had principles and knew
why he believed In them, was voiced
yesterday In the house by Sibley OF
Pennsylvania in speech whose tenor
and close were highly dramatic. Sibley
is strong and powerful man. He never
believed in free silver, but accepted 1t
as man accepts many things rather
than antagonize his party. 1t has CALLED
him that this folly did not subside. But
the assault on patriotism has driven
him into fiat rebellion. He comes from
interior Pennsylvania. and not from the
West where they tell us that alone ex-
pansion fiourishes And he defied his
associates to their faces tainted them
with their repetition against the ad-
ministration of the reproaches directed
at Jefferson and dared them to draw
down the flag from any spot where 1t
floats today. His solemn assertion of
the purity of interest in this nation
when the war began, and his ascrlption
to God of the duty, the burden and the
responsibility that have been laid upon
us awed his audience to silence and
then reused them to an enthusiasm not
often witnessed in the house.
You cannot bind with the withes of
party the sturdy spirit Of true Ameri-
carisra. Thank God the patriot Is not
to be browbeaten or cajoled. There is
a deep undercurrent of feeling among
the people Of this United States that
is swelling into wrathful power under
the shameless invective OF the cheap
politician and the fanatic traitor. Men
little reck how strong ana resolute
and burning 1t Is. We hear a few only
out OF the millions who are pondering
these things In their hearts against the
day when they, too. may speak through
the ballot -box. The words of Sibley are
an echo from this silent army of thrill
ing and indignant patriots. They are
being taught TO forget party by the men
who forget that they have a country.
And the day is coming when these mis-
cradle players at a petty and despicable
game will cry for the mountains to fall
upon and cover them from the blazing
wrath of an outraged people.

1T takes two to make a quarrel.
Mayor Vasaly continued wrangle
all the year with the council, and
now he demands that all voters take
SIDES, ard OF course insists that his
side OF the quarrel be favored. That
isn't necessary at all. About all the
city officials have shown themselves
unfit to have charge of city matters.
1t is good rule to favor new men,
and ignore both sides of the wrang-
ling, jangling ''combines.' When
city officials will engage in peuty
quarrels month after month all par
ties concerned are wrong. Don't
take sides. but soak them all. That
is the best thing for the city.

Neither the citizens committee or
the city council desired to purchase
the park property at the price de-
sired by the Louisville owners.
VGsaly's attitude in the matter was
OF no Importance, as the question
never reached him. He is trying to
deceive the people when he claims he
stopped" it. Maybe he was
opposed to the purchase-but his
opposition was never needed or used
to stop the sale OF the park property
to the city. His discussion of that
''iasue'' is tricky and deceptive.
