Mr.. Burton of Ohio. who is acting as Ad-
ministration objector to canal legislation
IN the House of Representatives, asserts
that the HayPaurcefote Treaty is "a
measure which, though much misunder-
stood, is triumph of diplomacy We
heartily agree with the statement. But as
the Hay-PaunCefote Treaty involves build
ing the Nicaragua Canal for the benefit Of
Great Britain al our expense, and surren-
der of the Monroe Doctrine. it is a triumph
rather of British than OF American diplo-
macy, and that fact is one of the many ob-

BOOMING SENATOR DAVIS.
The Minnesota Man Mentioned for
Vice President.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. April 14.-The friends
of Senator Davis are working up boom
for his nomination as Vice President with
Mckinley, his most sanguine admirers al
leging he will accept the nomination.
More conservative friends, however,
while willing to endorse his candidacy,
hesitate about urging him to accspt. They
belive he is of more value 20 the country
as Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations than he would be as Vice
President He can be reelected United
States Senator from Minnesota as often as
he desires. Some even go as far as 10 say
they prefer to have him wait rs a Presi-

Making Republican Votes.

Making Republican Notes.-The Hon
W. Jasper Talbert, of Parksviile. Edgefield
County, S. c., yesterday helped the Re
publicans in the House make many a vote
for that party in the November elections.
Mr.. Talbert is Democrat. He coneeives
it his patriotic duty to denounce every
pension claim as a raid on the Treasury,
and every pension applicant as a fraud.
Yesterday was private pension day in the
House. and Mr. Talbert was at his best as
an assistant Republican. Members on his
side of the House who represent many
thousand veterans of the Union Army
trembled and shook with fear as Mr.. Tai
bert's eloquence grew in frenzy. They are
aware that when they ask for reelection
they will be confronted by garbled eN-
tracts from the half dozen or more
speeches made by the eminent South Caro-
Imam yesterday as expressions of the
Democratic attitude of hostility toward
the men who fought for the preservation
of the Union. But withal, Mr. Talbert did
not waste his time entirely, nor speak with
no effect The Hon. Joseph Crocker Sib-
ley tackled him. and got this for his pains:
Il shall pay no attention to the smooth
faced chameleon from Pennsylvania who
jumps from silver to gold with facile ease
This. il is thought. may overcome to- some
extent the harm which Mr. Talbert's series
of speeches yesterday inflicted upon his
