CLAYTON BULwER TREATY.

The ClaytonBulwer treaty, which
Great Britain got from a weak Ameri-
can State Department in the days be-
fore the Civil War, stands in the way
Of the control by the United States of
any canal which may be built to con-
meet the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
BY the terms of that instrument the
ownership of the canal must be Jointly
vested in the United States and Great
Britain. For years the United States
has sought the abrogation of this trea-
ty and has finally, through the diplo-
macy of Secretary Hay, obtained a
new agreement, which awaits the SEN
ate's ratification, by which Great Brit
ain gives up her rights of partnership
with the proviso that the United
States. as the legatee, shall not fortify
the canal terminals.
Until the new treaty has been rati-
/ fed the old one must remain in force,
AS the former is an instrument which
makes the canal practicable, restores
consistency to the American position
on the Monroe doctrine and opens the
way for a vast commercial benefit, we
hope the Senate will accept 1t despite
the proviso about forts. To reject the
treaty might set back the canal FOL
years. So far as terminal defences are
concerned they do not greatly matter
The United States could take care Of
the canal In the event OF war by mean!

Boy Railroad Magnate.

BOY hafIfOau maGndt6. II
The election of a boy II years of age
as vice president of a railroad at sal
airy of $4,000 is the somewhat curious
commercial develo pmentT eported from
Atlanta, Ga, says the New York Conn
mercial. The youthful railroad mag
nate" is Cornelius j. Simmons, IT.,
whose father is president of the Col
Inns Park and Belt Line Railroad, "a
trolley line. The boy was nominated
for the place by his fond father, and
his election followed by unanimous
vote. The inference is that the elder
Simmons owns the railroad, and, being
the whole thing, could elect an infant
at the breast as vice-president, secre-
tary or treasurer, if he so desired. But
inasmuch as almost any old kind of a
railroad has certain responsibilities to
lie public, it would seem that this FAM
lily business might very well stop some
where near the cradle. We have the
theory of divine right applied to
kings, but that doesn't exactly mean
trolley kings.

The RAT CRUSADE.

Twenty thousand wooden blocks with |
augur holes for rat poison have been
made and more are to follow. These
containers are being charged and will
be distributed throughout the city on
Saturday next. 1t is the hope and ex-
pectation of the Government, the Board
of Health and the Citizens Sanitary
Committee, that householders will
make use of them and that Saturday
and the few days following will wit
ness a mortality among rats that must
make the dwelling house rodent, that
natural carrier of plague infection,
a rara avis in Honolulu.
An effort has been made by thought
less people to discourage this crusade
on the ground that poisoned rats will
retire to their holes and die there, thus
creating a nuisance. If this were to
be expected it would not matter much,
for few dead rats under the floors of
douse are preferable to dead men in
tie rooms A bad smell is surely not
those who set the poison are careful
to put pan or dish of water near it
there will be no danger of the dying
rats getting away. The poison used
creates a feverish thirst The rat that
ea.s must get a cooling draught and
will go in search of it, staying by the
water until his life goes out. Where
the householder does his work as he
should he will find his game where he
leaves the thirst-assuager.
Having killed rat the animal must
and should. be carried to the fire on a
shovel or on the end of long stick.
The use of the hands in contact with
lne rat is dangerous; in less but still
measurable degree is the use of dust
pan. The best thing is long handled
shovel or something shaped like it that
may be made of wood and cleaned with
| fire or acid after being used. With this
the rat, if found in the house, should be
| taken out of doors and either thrown
into a bonfire ALREADY kindled or into
pan of coal oil which may be safely
set on fire by means of long, twisted
piece of paper One should not go near
| enough to the pan to use match, for
bacilh may be there in waiting. These
minute organisms infest the fieas of
rats as well as the rats themselves.
| Now let everybody make ready to
lend hand in the crusade. China
town is no more and when the rats
are exterminated also ibis city, so far
as it's anxiety about the plague is con-
cerned, may begin to breathe freely. 4

THE WAR OUTLOOK.

The decisive battles of the Anglo
Boer war cannot be far off. At this
writing the British have, or very near
ly have, $4,000 men and 452 guns in
the field, as against Boer army, wide
ly dispersed, which numbers no more
than 100000 men. Butler has crossed
the Tugela, plainly intent on flank
ing movement, and Lord Roberts
forces from the Cape are advancing as
fast as possible toward the borders of
the Orange Free State. Before they
arrive the Beers will have to divide
their army and with one wing of it
prepare to give battle to Lord Roberts
on the open veldt. This necessity must
weaken the force opposed to Butler
and may be the means of raising the
siege of Ladysmith. Mafeking and
Kimberley.
From a military point Of view it
looks as if the tide of war was about to
turn against the burghers. Much de-
ponds, however, on the attitude of
France and other European countries
as to whether England will have a
chance to prosecute her South African
venture to the triumphal end. 1t must
not be forgotten that just as England
was on the point of crushing the Amer
lean rebels France interviewed and
turned the scale against her. History
may repeat itself. Ugly talk is heard
on the boulevards, in the Partisan
press and in the ranks of French pub
licists as well. Threats to wipe out
the memory of Fashoda and to neu-
tralize the Suez canal; hints about the
possible worthlessness of the British
navy and the defencelessness of Brit
ish coasts are not confined to ire
sponsible gossipers, but are noted
| among men who hold in their hands
the Issues of peace and war. Premier
Waldeck-Rousseau is quoted as having
said that events may bring France a
ong-wished-for opportunity. Recently
VI. Millerand, Minister of Commerce,
said to NJ. Viviani, editor OF La Lam
terne: UNLESS we seize this one we
will never find safer opportunity to
compel England to evacuate Egypt" "
Deputy Millevoye said the other day
to a New York World reporter that
! France bides her hour. When Eng
land has all the force she can engage

war to obtain from her all the reason.

ishers say their feet can hold Europe

lish fleet may lose it's prestige as ha!
the English army? Even had we ne
battleships. England could only bonn
bard a few unimportant colonia
towns. Nowhere could she land al
army and leave garrisons."
In the possibilities thus raised W,

he Ii not wanted here and knows It so

where. Littles wAole course at Wash
ington Is one of personal vindictive-
ness and spite.
Edgar Caypless is a small lawyer
who came here from Seattle to repre-
sent a newspaper. He got a native
Hawaiian's damage suit to press and
failed to win a verdict. This soured
him, and the unwillingness of the
Government and the sugar-planters to
employ him added to the sourness and
led Caypless to take sides In politics
