Before putting the motion Chairman
Prince said he thought the members OF
this Congress should be congratulatcd
upon the work OF this session OF Congress.
He had never attended more harmoni-
Gus meeting. This session OF the Con-
gress was remarkable in its make-up'
There were more ex-prssidents in at
tendance than at any previous meeting,
In this connection he referred particular
ly to Governor Fishback of Arkansas,
who was the president of the first Cen
gress, and, in fact might be regarded as
the father OF the Transmississippi Con-
gress. That which we have done has
been well done and that which we should

The Republicans should exercise
great care and discretion in the selec-
ton of candidates for the railroad
and warehouse commission. Nearly
every success achieved by the opposi-
ton to the Republican party in recent
years has been brought about by a
feeling that the railroads were given
too much consideration and too much
opportunity to evade the payment of
the proper share of the taxes of the
State. It is not at all necessary, or
even expedient, to name that class of a
person who declaims loudly against the
railroads for political effect, but it is
necessary to name mon of such known
honesty, intelligence and integrity as
to be a guarantee that they will con-
serve the interests Of the: party and
consider the State before they do the
railroads. There are plenty of such
men in the Republican party and some
of them are candidates.

I IT has come to be quite a common
episode now for one United States
senator to stand up on the floor of that
body and call another traitor. In
recalls the scenes of 1860, and the Bit
ter fights that were INDUCED in at that
time between the adherents of North
and South. There is this difference,
however, between the copperhead of
1860 and the copperhead of 1900: in the
former case the enemies Of the coun-
try were at least civilized Americans,
even though they were rebels; in the
present case the enemies of the coun-
try are the half-civilized natives of
far-otf islands. There would seem on
this account to be all the less justifica-
tion for those who have set themselves
up against the United States govern
ment. When some one called Senator
Pettigrew a traitor on the floor of the
senate the other day, he put in speech
that which has been felt for long
time by the loyal citizens of the United
States,

AN OBSTACLE REMOVED.

There are those who have contended
that the United States should go ahead
with interoceanic canal construction
with no reference to the Clayton+Bul-
wer treaty, which imposes joint con
troll by Great Britain and the United
States over any canal which may be
constructed across Central America by
this country. That foolish treaty was
a serious hindcance, of. course, to the
canal project. But it takes both par
ties to a treaty to abrogate it, and our
government has very properly, by,ne-
gotlations with Great Britain, secured
the abrogation of the restriction. :; We
are now on sure ground, and the ques.
ton of route is before congress.-1is,,.

EVERY fair-minded man imbued with
the spirit Of Americanism must natur-
ally sympathize with the Beers in
their struggle for independence and
their effort to throw off the British
yoke. BY the same token every fair
minded man of any nationality must
see and admit the utter absurdity of
the proposition that this country
should intervene or mediate between
the English and the Beers unless both
parties to the war shall request it,
It is none of our business as nation to
take sides in a European quarrel and
particularly in such quarrel as this.
AS rule the men who are demanding
mediation by the American govern
ment and an expression Of sympathy
for the Beers, know very we'll that it
would be impractical to attempt any,
thing of the kind. Any such express
sion on the part of this government
would; be an act.of hostility sufficient
to provoke the withdrawal.of the Eng
Hshssrepresentatives in this country.
