Action Causes Surprise.

Trustee G. j. Searle, of the Western
Normal school, speaking of the action
of Gov. Tanner in removing the menu
bers of the board because of the fail
urc TO agree upon n location, eN-
pressed himself rs greatly surprised
with the course of the executive.
Owing TO the peculiar local condi-
tious that have been involved in this
contest" said Mr.. Searle. lit has been
impossible to reach a decision The
rivalry between the proposed sites for
the location of the institution became
so intense that it was not possible to
break the deadlock, although we had
reason to hope that decision could
and would be reached at the next ses-
sion OF the board.
Il am quite in sympathy with the
governors opposition to settling the
question in any manner other than
that legitimately within the province
of the board. l have all along Fro
tested against the introduction of an
advisory council or any other subter-
fugc. and il is only Justice TO sll the
trustees to say that all schemes of
this sort were abandoned absolutely.

Jim CROW" CARS MAY Run.

washington Cor. Chicago Times Herald
An opinion was handed down by the
supreme court Of the United States to-
day that virtually means the adoption
Of the so-called Jim Crow car in all
the southern states. The case related
20 the failure OF the Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad company to comply with the
Kentucky state statute requiring rail-
road corporations To provide separate
coaches for cOlOTed passengers.
The railroad company was indicted
for ignoring this law, and in defense
pleaded that the statute was unconsti-
tutiOnal. being an attempt by a state
to regulate interstate commerce. The
lower court stood by the law, ordering
the railroad company TO comply with
its provisions. and an appeal was taken
to the supreme court
In affirming this judgment Justice
Brown. writing the opinion for the
court held that the question of inter
state commerce did not necessarily
arise because the lower court in Ken
lucky had said it would limit the ap-
plication of the law TO travel from a
point in one part OF the state TO a
point in another.
Justice Harlan dissented. holding the
law an encroachment upon the power
Of congress 10 regulate interstate COM
merce and declaring that no state is
competent to order its citizens sep
arated into classes under such a
statute.

THE AMENDED TREATY.


He HAY-PAUNCEFoTE TREA-
ty. with the Davis amendment
appended. has been ratified by the
senate. As it now stands the docu-
'nent provides for the building of the
Nicaragua canal at the expense and
under the auspices OF the United
States. Then comes the much dis
cussed article on neutrality, contain
ing seven clauses. In brief these are;
First, that the canal shall be free and
open in times of war to any and all
nations; second, that no act of hostil
ity shall be committed within it,and that
It shall not be bl0ckaded; third. yes
sells of war of a beIligerent shall not
remain in the canal longer than nee
essary, and shall not revictual or take
on coal except as shall be absolutely
necessary; fourth, no beIligerent shall
embark ~ disembarl troops or NUM-
tons Of wax, except in case of acct
dent, fifth, these rules shall apply TO
the waters within three miles of the
ends of the canal. and TO this clause
has been added the celebrated Davis
amendment, which is: 1T is agreed,
however, that none of the immediate
foregoing conditions and stipulations in
sections numbered ore, two. three, four
and five of this article shall apply to
measures which the United States may
find necessary for securing for its own
forces the defense of the United States
and the maintenance of public order"
Then follow the sixth and seventh
clauses, the sixth stipulating that all
plants and works connected with the
canal shall be immune from attack and
the seventh providing that no fOrtifi-
cations shall be erected commanding
the canal or the waters adjacent but
that the United States may maintain
military police along the canal to pro-
tect it against lawlessness and disor-
der.
This in brief is the treaty as ratified
by the senate. Tt is undoubtedly a vast
improvement on the document as It
left the hands of Messrs- Hay and
Pauncefote. By the Davis amendment
in case of war United States troopers
may take possession of the canal and
it may be blockaded. AT the same time
this country expressly valves all right
10 erect fortifications in the vicinity Of
this important waterway. 1t may, how
ever. be questioned whether, with the
undisputed right to- take possession of
the canal with American troops, en-
bark and dist1o5ark supplies and block
ade the waterway, anything would be
gained by the additional right to build
qualifications.
However this may be, il is more than
probable that the treaty as it now
stands viii be The basis upon which
the canal viii be constructed Eng
land. though her press has grumbled
much over the Davis amendment, viii
scarcely refuse TO raufy because of this
addition, since the United States has
asserted in this instance and with
much more show of reason only what
England insisted on IN The case Of the
Suez canal Neither is it likely that
any other European nation will inter
nose any objections. since they reap i'm
measurable benefits. while the United
States stands all the cost.

that the situation IN this colony is con

sion of the British since 1906. IT was

pushed north to the Orange Free state
and the Transvaal, but there is still a
large proportion of Dutch IN the Eng
lish colony. The sympathies of these
are naturally enough with the Beers
and only a short time ago they drew up
a petition TO England asking that con-
ciliatory measures be adopted with a
view of bringing the war to a close.
So far no open steps have been taken
by the Cape Colony Dutch in aid of
their countrymen to the north, but
from the promptness with which the
British have seized the opportunity of
the Boer invasion to proclaim martial
law, it would seem that such a course
is feared. Otherwise the mere appear
ance of few Beer raiders would not
in itself call for such heroic measures
being adopted.

HEALTHY INFANT.

CONTRACT for 10000 tons of
Il steel rails and fish plates TO be
used in the construction of a new
English railway has just been secured
bv the Illinois Steel company. Along
with the glow of pride that the pa
trfotic American should feel at such an
announcement comes q faint qualm,
one of those premonitory feelings of
unrest that stirs n man on the verge
OF discovering that he has been bum
coed.
Under the republican theory that any
sort Of manufacture controlled by a
trust is an infant industry. the steel
business has long been scheduled in
this class. No longer ago that 1897 the
Hanna government found the steel
trust in such a weakened and debili-
tated condition, despite the dividends
and the libraries it had endowed, that
il was necessary to put A.
per. cent ad valorem tariff tax on near
" all steel products. This might be
trihe hard on the consumer, it was ex-
pIasued. but it was absolutely neces-
sary. in order 10 let cur infant industry
nav living wages 90 its employees and
ADlllEAE viii iAl- EcANlNA AflgNt VA LIZ
rope.
All this sounds very plausible and
patriotic, but it doesn't doyetan very
neatly with this English contract
which the Illinois Steel company has
secured. If our infant industry can
pay transatlantic freight rates and
compete with the paUper labor of Eu-
rope IN England without the benefit
OF a A. per cent bounty why cannot it
hold its ground IN this country on sim
liar terms? It isn't to be imagined for
a moment that the Illinois Steel COM
pany expects to lose money by its Eng
lish contract, Tt evidently is able to
produce steel rails at less expense than
can the manufacturers of the old
world. Why. then, are we paying a
premium of 45 per cent on the steel we
use2 For no other reason, apparently
than to make millionaires who VIII be
assessable at campaign times.
