Canal Treaty Ratified.

The Hay-Pauncsfote canal treaty.
sent to the senate February 5, 1900, was
ratified by that body Thursday even
ing the vote being 55 to Is, six more
than the necessary forty nine, which is
tvo-thirds of the seventy three Sena-
tors voting. Had the full Senate
eighty-six-been present fifty eight
votes would have been required. The
advocates of ratification had five votes
to spare had all Of tho eighty-six Sena-
tors east their votes. Both of Virgin
ia's Senators voted against the meas
ure.
Before being ratified the treaty was
amended in addition to the Davis
amendment SO as to give the United
States the power to defend the canal
except by Notifications by the adop-
ton of the two amendments introduced
by Senator Foraker and reported by
the foreign relations committee, one
striking out article 3, inviting the adj
herence of the other powers, and the
other declaring that this treaty "su.
persedes" the Clayton-Bulwer coDven-
ton. All the amendments, except
thos offered by Senator Foraker and
reported by the committee on foreign
relations. were voted down by MAORI
ties averaging about ninetsen.
Nearly all the London papers have
editorials on the action of the United
States Senate in connection with the
ay.Pauncefote canal treaty. They
express regret, rather than surprise
at the suppression OF the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and unanimously de
clare that it will be impossible fol
Great Britain to accept the amended
treaty.

is due In a great measure to the fees the
State OF New Jersey has received from
big corporations which have been char
tered in that State. Several years ago
the American Tobacco Company attempted
to get a charter III Virginia, but was COM;
PEELED to go to the State OF New Jersey
for its articles Of incorporation. Pre-
iudicc in Virginia against trusts was such
that the Legislature would not grant
charters to Combines" But The people
OF. New Jersey were more thrifty. They
saw that the day OF giant corporations
was at hand and that it was useless TO OPP
pose them. Accordingly New Jersey. let it be
known that she would grant charters to
any corporations that might apply and
she has made herself rich by pursuing
that line of policy.
If Virginia, had granted a charter to the
American Tobacco Company and pur-.
sued the same liberal course that New
Jersey has pursued. we doubt not that.
she would have reaped a rich harvest and
would have been able to cancel a large
part Of her debt. Nor would Virginia or
the country at large been any the worse
for it. Our prejudice has been expensive.

The Pennsylvania railroad pension sys-

We learn from the Baltimore Sun that Mr..
E. S. Young, of that city, who has been
an employee of the road for fifty years,
has just been retired with 9iS others.

payment is for each year of service one
per centunl. Of the average monthly pay

For instance If an employe has peen IN
the service of the company for forty years
and has received on an average for the

FRIDAY. JANUARY y, 1899.
KEEP THE RACES APART.

Soon after Christmas we related in ineSe
columns an incident which came under
observation on a train between Richmond
and Petersburg by way Of showing the
danger OF mixing whites and blacks IN
public conveyances. A half-irunken negro
entered the car and insisted on taking a
scai by a respectable white woman, not
withstanding her indignant protest. No
man with the instincts Of a gentleman IN
him. would have ATTEMPTED 10 take TIC
seat without having gained the iadE
permission. hut this dirty, intoxicated
negro insisted on sitting doyn A White
man was sitting Immediately aehind .he
lady and it goes without saying, that he
ic,ked the negro out OF the seat anc sent
him 10 another part of the car Inc negro
became insolent, and if he 1ah been en-
ccnraged in the least. would have SHOWN
fight. we would hazard lttlcs'n Gu:55.ns
that the negro was loaded with 4 ahiskey
bottle ard a pistol and that he would have
used his gun had there been fight OF
course there was great indignation among
the whites and 1t was only by the exercise
of self-control that the negro was not
punished. Ii any White man had struck
tire negro, however, there wn I'D doubtless
have been a free fight. for the negro had
companions who were half full Of lighting
wliiskey. Had there been 4 light there
would, no doubt, have been bloodshed with
the possibility Of injury to women and
children.
We confess VIC did not expect this incl
dent to attract such widespread at,en-
ton. Since that time we have received
communications from VARIOUS parts of the
state on the subject, most of the Virginia
newspapers took mp the discussion and
tie result Is that there is a general de-
anand throughout Virginia for separate
cars.
AS We stated at the time, and as We
have repeatedly stated, we are not in
favor OF u legislation that is designed, per
sc. to hunilia:e the black man or to put
unnecessary hardships upon him. Nor are
we disposed 10 advocate any measure that
will unnecessarily inconvenience ,hc rail-
roads of the State. II any measure can
be devised which will abate the nuisance
under discussion and which will avert
tie danger OF mixing the-races in public
ctynyeyances, without providing separate
cars, such a measure will have our sup
y,:rt. But ne confess that with the lights
before us separate cars seen. 10 be the
oily effective remedy. We have provided
in this state, and in all the Southern
States, separate schools for The races We
hare provided separate churches ana
senaratc hotels Everybody. knows that
,hese provisions are wise and necessary,
else there would be constant clashes be-
tween the races, not 10 say riot and niood.
shed. we believe that in the interest oil
,,eace and good order it IS necessary
that this principle be applied in every re-
latlon OF Southern life.
God Almighty drew the color line and
i; cannot he ob!itecatcd. The negro must
stay on his side of the line and the white
man must stay on his side. and the sooner
boil, races recognize shis fact and accept
ii, the better il will be for both.
