THE pubic authorltles are morally
chargeable with the responsibility of see
ing the whole work of charity and reform
provided for by public appropriation prop
erly conducted; but they find that having
assented to the appeals of institutions for
appropriations and for freedom to choose
their own part of the charitable service
to be performed. the most expensive and
troublesome and least attractive part is left
undone, and there is neither resource nor
facility for it's accomplishment.

Unless Taylor has gone entirely out Of his
senses, he Wiz. not face that issue with
armed resistance. Whether he can be con-
sidered sane or not in view Of his recent
actions. is a question. His insurrection-
airy course toward the Legislature. his
lawless kidnapping of a court officer. and
such things have created suspicion here
in Washington that he may be crazy. On
the other hand, his latest performance
looks the other way. He has brought his
whole family, consisting OF his wife and
nine children-the eldest sixteen years Of
age-into the Executive Building and
camped them there. The natural conclusion
from such a movement is that he expects
the presence of these helpless creatures
to shield hirI from an attack in which
they would be more than apt to meet their
deaths from artillery or infantry IRE di-
rected at the building. Apparently it is
an appeal to the chivalry OF Kentuckians
TO leave rebel in possession Of their
State property and submit to his open de-
fance Of their constitution. laws. and
courts, rather than to sacrifice the lives of
women and children. The episode will not
rebound 10 Taylor's credit. even among his
ignorant and lawless partisans.

EnrInnd,s DIPLOMATIC Triumph

EnEiNud's DtpiOmRIic triumph.
A very excellent maxim adraonishes US
not to begin whistling until we are out OF
the graveyard Obeying this we have
refrained from rejoicing in any extreme
degree over what turns out to be a Hay
Pauncefote amendment 10 the Clayton Bul
wer Treaty deceased and which serves 10
give that defunct instrument new life and
a sharp edge. The country viii be disap
pointed to learn that the alleged frank and
generous concession by England OF her
contentious under a treaty which she vio-
lated and vacated more than a generation
ago. amounts in effect TO simply nothing
Under the Hay-Pauncefote convention
England sacrifices nothing whatever and
gains a great deal. A situation is thus
created which we are mlch mistaken if
President Mckinley and Secretary Hay do
not have good cause to regret before they
are ten days older.

people have been and stil are determined

protect not only as an avenue Of COM

Meeting link in and in principle a part OF

the canal we would be permitted TO have
under the Hay PamcefOte arrangement
Instead Of such a waterway British diplo-
macy would allow MS the remarkable privi-
lege Of building and policing the Nicaragua
Canal at our own expense. not for our
benefit but absolutely for that Of the whole
world. 1t would prevent us from fortify-
ing: prevent us from shutting out the
commerce or war vessels Of our enemy in
time Of war and actually es.Eblish a sta
tus which would make the 4, nal a menace
instead of an advantage TO this country.
II the people Of the United States. who
are TO build and pay for the work are to
be forbidden 70 defend il. and when en-
gagged in war with another nation are to
be compelled TO leave the ditch open 10 the
enemy for use as a naval base against our
coasts. &c would be better to drop the whole
business. It is satisfactory 10 learn that
the Hay Pauncefote convention has aroused
the spirit Of patriotism in the Senate. and
that. unless it can be amended colformably
to American sentiment and determination
in the premises il is doomed TO indignant
rejection.
