when Will We Meet Aaain?"

Considerable amusement is being
caused among the members of the city
government over the choice of a regu-
lar meeting night. The regular night OF
last year was the first Wednesday in
cach month, but as one of the alder
men cannot attend on this evening, 1t
was thought best to have it changed
TINS year. Thursday evening rs not
suitable, as ii Is the regular prayer
meeting night Of all the churches ana
some OF the members are regular at
tendants and are unwilling to give up
this privilege. Tuesday night was next
selected, and as this met with general
approval an order to this effect was
passed by the aldermen and sent down
Tor concurrence. In the council This
was objected to on the ground that the
meetings of the school board came on
the first Monday of each month and as
the School accounts have 10 be looked
over by the committee Tuesday oven

the council refused to concur.

theatrical Politics.

David b. Hill of New York, is I'M
doubtedly one of the ablest men in his
party, but his persistent posing for
effect has seriously undermined the
public confidence in his sincerity. His
theatrical speech at recent banquet
of the st. Patricks Society in Brook
lyn, New York, is a striking example
of this characteristic. In this speech
great Republic in the present emer-
gency while witnessing the destruction
OF two struggling Republics in South
Africa" Just what Mr.. Hill would
have had our country do he fails to
make clear, but the presumption is
that he would have favored our send
ing an army to South Africa to assist
the Beers. The role of an internatiop-
al knight errant might appeal to Mr..
Hi!rs exalted ideas of chivalry, but it
would be expensive, and our govern
mcnt may be excused for not under
taking it. The United States has OBJ
served in this matter an attitude of
strict neutrality.
1t is the one nation in the world that
offered it's good Offices to bring about
Il peaceable adjustment of the differ
ences between England and the Boer
republics Those offices We're refused
by England. Nothing further could be
done except to intervene by force of
arms This would have been the sub
Unity of folly: but il appears to be
what Mr.. Hill means by his grandilo-
ouent rhetoric, if he means anything
at all.
Ii is usually a good idea for nations as
well as individuals 10 attend pretty
strictly to their own affairs. When the
ouarrels Of neghbors occur in whole or
in part in our own door yards. or at
feet the peace of our immediate COM
munity, there may be some excuse for
interference. but not otherwise.

Probability Of a New Canal Treaty.

There is reason to believe that
new treaty will have been negotiated
between Tie United States and Eng
land with reference to the building of
the great inter-occanic canal. Lead
ing members of the United States
Senate committee on foreign relations
now express the opinion that there are
no vital points of difference at the
present time between tie two coun-
tries. /; is now thought that an ad-
lustment CT the matter is possible
that win meet tire purposes of the
Hay-Pauncefort convention and at
tie same time practically embody all
that the Senate asks for.
This country is right in safeguard
ing this great enterprise against any
possible use to our detriment by 4
foreign power. The present safety Of
our Pacifice coast lies not so
much in its Notifications as in
it's inaccessibility. The broad Pacific
lies between it and the coun
tries of the Orient, and the Hawaiian
Islands the only practical coaling and
supply station in this vast expansa are
now under our control. Fleets which
would undertake an attack on this
portion OF our country from the At
Iantic side must make the long and
dangerous voyage around Cape Horn.
A big ship canal would obviate the
necessity of such a voyage, and it will
be seen that in undertaking the
construction of such a water way
this country has the best of reasons
for safe guarding it against any
possible use by hostile powers.
1t is not believed that England will
object to this. She is anxious to have
the canal built by the United States,
and will, it is believed, recognize the
entire proprietv Of such an American
control of it's use as will properly pro-
tect our paramount Pacific interests.
Al the same time she has important
interests of her own upon the same
ocean. and it is entirely proper for her
to do all in her power to properly care
for them
There are no great differences to be
blidged between the two countries.
Their interests are largely common,
and it is thought that some amicable
basis of agreement will be reached in
the near future. 1t is probable that
this will be FASTENED by the almost
certainty that unless some new treaty
is negotiated in the interim, Congress
will be pretty sure to abrogate the
old Clayton Bulwer treaty, which, at
the present time, is little more than a
leminiScence.
