THE DANISH WEST INDIES.

Word comes from Copenhagen that full
agreement has been reached between Denmark
and the United States for the sale TO the latter
of the formers West India possessions. 1t Is
added that the treaty to that effect will prob
ably be signed at Washington this week The
announcement will cause surprise to readers
of The Tribune. who have been kept well in
formed upon the subject by our London CORE
spondent II will be recalled that amid other
wise current rumors of all sorts of bitches ana
complications he has confidently assured us
that negotiations for the transfer were proceed
ing smoothly and that a satisfactory bargain
was assured To-day's news in the fullest man
ner yindicateS the accuracy of his information.
II is an arrangement upon which both parties
10 il are TO be congratulated. for ii is TO the evi-
dent advantage of both. The islands are of little
value 10 Denmark. Indeed, some have piauslnly
argued that Danish possession OF them was
detriment both TO Denmark and to the islands.
They will be of value to the United States in
some respects of more and in some perhaps of
little less value than they would have been
before we obtained possession of Porto R1co.
At any rate, they will be of value to Us, ana
will prove we'll worth their cost, which. accord
ing TO present report is to be considerably less
than the sum which was proposed to be PAID
for them generation ago. Whether the people
of the islands are as unanimously in favor of
transfer to United States possession as they
then We're may be open to question But IL
seems plain that the great majority of them
favor the change, and il is Impossible to doubt
that it will be found to he to their practical
advantage.
The incident will be of some little interest as
a precedent. or rather a confederation of the
principle which was enunciated in the case of
Cuba long ago-before the memory of the pres
ent generation namely. that while islands thus
living off our coast might without the least
offence 10 us remain in European possession
forever they were not to he regarded as objects
of barter and sale among European powers. but
when disposed of by their present owners should
become independent States else pass under
our OWN control. There is no reason to suppose
that any power is inclined to challenge the
propriety of that principle. The United States
has no desire to oust its European friends from
their West India holdings 1t is not soliciting
the sale of their possessions. And there is no
indication that any Of them want 10 sell out
But if in future any of them should desire to
get rid of such possessions the precedent now
set by Denmark will doubtless commend itself
to their friendly consideration.

capacity, but 1t is not necessarily rational ana
salutary. Il is not the highest duty of legls-
lative assembly to be expeditions. What fhe
people want is TO have their affairs managed
conscientiously and skilfully. without either
Incidence or haste They will cheerfully con-
cede to Congress all the time ii needs for an
orderly and deliberate consideration or the
questions laid before it, and il will be judged
not by the time il consumes, but by the record
il has made when the date Of its Adjournment
arrives. The Republican party, having sent 10
Washington majority fully equal to the proper
and convenient performance of the functions OF
government. will be justly held responsible Tor
the result. If its representatives ar the national
capital measure their obligations by the sup
posed weakness of a disorganized and disheart-
ened opposition they will fall far short of salts
fying the party whose purposes they have been
deputed TO execute, and will run grave risk OF
subiecting it to a bghting Judgment at the
polls n year hence. 1t is their duty and their
privilege TO Justify the present confidence OF the
country and earn further lease of power

CONGRESS- N SESSION

The LNIlth Congress met yesterday under
conditions favorable 10 the satisfactory transac-
ton of public business. The party in power has
majority in each branch which is large enough
for prompt and efficient action on measures con-
forming 10 its Judgment Of what the general
welfare requires but not so large as to encour-
age imprudent and arbitrary tactics. The coun-
try still rests under the shadow of the tragedy
which deprived it Of a wise and we'll loved
President. yet the proofs Of its stability which
that lamentable event supplied. and of the
respect in which 1t is held ley all the world,
have been full of solace and inspiration. There
is reason to believe that the public men of the
United States have gained from this experience
deeper sense of duty and responsibility. and
to hope that the proceedings of the new Con-
gress. rejecting the best characteristics of the
American people in a, highly creditabe manner.
will afford gratifying example of the spirit in
which they desire to be served
The customary talk about the probability OF
a short session is heard again, and. so far as it
Indicates a purpose on the part Of the leaders

is of course thoroughly welcome. But we can
not say that the prospect of an early adjourn
ment is particularly bright. The heads of de-
partments in their annual reports have made
many recommendations of unusual Importance
presumably with the Presidents full concur

which deserve and 10 receive long con-
sideration. Questions relating TO Cuba, the

the general routine of national administration

ought not to be- rushed through.
But there is occasion for complaint in

rather than a short session. A demand for
quick work is always made by voluntary
