The Canal and Treaty.

While the pending amendment to
the Hay PAuncefote treaty Is dis
tasteful to the state department, and
also to the British ambassador, there
seems to be little or no doubt that 1t
will be adopted by the senate, and
that, with more or less grumbling, it
will be accepted by the English gov
ernlusat. The truth is that Lord
Salisbury will be obliged to accept it.
The temper of the United States is
such that if England does not accept
he amended treaty a resolution alb

If the amended treaty were rejected

The United States would then be left
free to act in the canal matter, and

other nation. Il could then. build
the canal for American benefit purely,
control it for the best interests of
American commerce, and ask no ones
permission to fortIfy it In time of
war we could close it the national

Things have gone so far now that

Is, A person who moves from a
farm between the end of crop year
1899 and June 1. 1900, should leave q
written record of the products and
crops of that farm for 1899 where It
will reach the enumerator. He will
also be required to give the enumer-
ator of the district in which he live 8
on June 1. 1910, the acreage vslae,
buildings, machinery, implements
and live stock of the farm he then oc-
cupies.
IA. Every farmer should begin at
once to prepare careful record of
all the facts which the enumergtor
will record in June, 1900.
Is. In this preparation, the women
and children of the household afford
material aid, especially with refer
ence to the poultry, eggs, butter,
cheese, fruits, vegetables, etc., con-
zumsd at home, or sold or traded TO
the heme dealer or others.
L. The twentieth century will be-
gln on Jan. 1, 1901. Therefore the
pending census will afford to future
generations a measure of the strength
and conditions of the United States
at the threshold OF the new hundretb
year cycle. For that reason every
one should take an active interest in
making it as nearly perfect as posi-
ole. If each will make his own re-
port perfect, the aggregated report
for every community and for the ma
lion will be perfect.

2. The census of agriculture will
be taken in June, 1900, as the pro-
ducts of 1899

ranches and marble gardens in the
