The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, what
ever may have have been the necessity
for its existence when framed by John
M. Clayton and Mr. Bulwer, the min
lister of England, is not adapted to the
present expansive condition of our
country and there is general approval
of its abrogatiOn by Sec. Hay and
Minister Pauncefote. The New York
Times in speaking of it says:
Secretary Hay is entitled to the
congratulations of his friends and the
thanks of his countrymen for his sue
cessful correction of blunder in our
diplomacy made half century ago.
During almost the whole of that long
period the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty,
ratified in 1850, has been regarded in
this country as a mistake. In assent
ing to that convention we put Great
Britain in a position to say to us that
our Monroe Doctrine must be of small
account"
The Philadelphia Ledger thus refers
to it:
1t is said that the recognition of the
American contention has not been pur-
chased by any concession to Great
Britain in any other portion of the
diplomatic field. No such concession
appears to have been proposed by
Great Britain. There was enough vi
tality perhaps in the ancient treaty to
make it useful to Great Britain in the
Canadian boundary negotiations. That
it has not been held in abeyance for
this or any purpose is creditable to
Great Britain.
The Providence Journal has this to
say:
''The United States will always be
able to keep enemies from using the
isthmian canal. Fortifcations are
barred by the new treaty, but they
will not be needed there more than at
Port Said and Suez. Nature affords
the United States distinct strategic ad-
vantages completed protecting the use
of the canal by American warshiDs.

PRESIDENT Mckinley has decided
not to wait for the slow action of Con
gress and has met instant public ap-
probation and approval by selecting
Judge Taft as the head of the commits
sion to establish civil government in
the Philippines. Judge Taft is still
young enough for energy and he is old
enough for good counsel. He has
been United States Circuit Judge for
eight years. The Judge stated that
he would not remain in the islands
longer than two years, and that on his
return to this country he would re-
sumo the practice of the law. He
would not, he said, be appointed ct
any time Governor General of the
Philippines.

The political conditions, though
Goebel is dead, are still unsettled in
Kentucky. The Republicans believe
that an election in harmony with Dem
ocratic precedents, viz: that the ma
Jority rather than law passed by the
Legislature in the interest of one man,
shall rule, and hence are opposed to
Governor Taylor giving up, at least
until the courts have so decided.
When they decide that this is law, the
officers, though having a majority of
the popular vote, will vacate.

The extraordinary pronunciamento
issued by the Republican faction who
calls themselves Regulars, and the
subsequent call for meeting to be
held at Dover on the 9th to elect six
delegates to the National Convention
to be held in Philadelphia, has much
the resemblance of a movement in a
South American country to inaugurate
revolution" They do call however
for a primary meeting on the 24th-to
select delegates to the State conven-
tlon so they can claim to be in harmony
with former methods. This will be
perhaps the earliest convention ever
held in Delaware. The Morning News
says there is talk of citizens move
ment, and adds:
"From the Union Republicans
source there is no intimation of what
the leaders of that organization will be.
But there are persistent reports that
William S. Hilles is preparing for a
citizens movement to bring the Re-
publicans of the State together. Mr..
Hilles is not prepared to discusss the
matter at present, as it is ''serious
question for US Republicans, he says.
Among men familiar with political
movements, however, it is whispered
that Mr.. Hilles and other Republicans
are preparing to call state convention
of Republicans desirous of taking
some step toward unifying the party.
just when this will be done is not
known, but there are many Republi-
cans who believe this step will be
taken

WINS oueen Res. Hand.omee

Sir Horace Walpole's description of
the maiden queen, drawn from her
portraits and from contemporary ac-
counts. is not a very attractive one
"a pale Roman nose, a head of hair
loaded with crowns and powdered with
diamonds, vast ruff, a vaster farthin-
gale and a bushel of pearls are" he
says, "the features by which every
body knows at a glance the pictures
Of Queen Elizabeth"
But Notwithstanding that she did not
care for art and that, knowing her
lack of it, she affected to despise bOdi-
ly cOmeliness. still she loved to multi
ply portraits of herself. "In them she
could appear really handsome" Yet
if she has been flattered in the exist
ing likenesses of her she must have
been not merely plain, but a remark
ably ugly woman. Perhaps the truth
is that with the most courtly inten-
tions the painters of the time did not
know how to prevaricate.
"The queen" says foreign observer,
''is fair, but wrinkled. Her nose is
little hooked. her lips thin and her
teeth black. She wore false hair and
that. red Her bosom was uncovered,
as all the English ladies have it until
they marry" That the painters fat
tered her in some degree we must infer
from that fact that she was fond of
sitting to them, though she could net
bear the sight of a mirror, which so
enraged her that her attendants were
obliged to hide theirs when she was
present.-Art Amateur.

fear of having the incident repeated

me If ! had an atlas. He studied it

The promoters VI dishonest elections
IN Philadelphia who make business
of manufacturing fraudulent votes
were given another shock last week,
when Receiver Of Taxes Roney made
known the result Of his investigation
of the lists of names furnished MIN by
the Republican City Committee as
those of persons who had authorized
the organization to secure them poll
tax receipts. The names on the lists
presented numbered 90, ,427, and the
Tax Receiver refused to issue poll tax
receipts to all but 1857.
Chairman Jones of the Prohibition
State Committee. with force of as
sistants, started an investigation of the
discredited lists at the Tax Office, with
8 view, it is presumed, of prosecuting
the persons who forged their names on
the lists submitted at the Tax Office as
the bona fide signatures of the persons
in question. Judge Bregy put the
maximum fine OF $500 and two years
imprisonment on these election officers

cided backset. The action of the Cali
fornia Legislature in electing Thomas
II. Bard to fill the vacancy from that
State was generally commented on as
being preiudIcial to the chances of
Colonel Quay. The admission Mr.
Bard as a Senator elected at a special
session of the Legislatuse when the
deadlock that had obtained in the reg
ular session was broken, will, it is
held, be an object lesson TO those who
insist that Colonel Quay should be
