'@rhe Milwaukee Sentinel" says an
exchange. contends that the appoint
ment of Chas. A Towne as senator from
Minnesota is clear case of government.
without the consent of the governed,
adding that it will be difficult to make
anybody believe that the people of Min

There is one law that ought to be
passed if it could be done -constitutionally
and that is to compel all new political
parties to adopt some new name and
allow no two candidates of different
political creeds to go upon the ticket
under a name which was wholly or in
part identical with any other party.
The bad effect of this practice was clear
ly illustrated in the recent election when
the Democratic" handle attached to the
name of the party for which Lucas stood
was the direct means of defeating one Of
the best men that ever occupied a
gubernatorial chair.-Red Lake County
Courier.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was rati-
fed by the United States senate last
Thursday. The treaty, which has ref
ercnce to the construction and govern
ment control of the Nicaraguan canal,
was amended somewhat from It's original
form, one of Senator Dayt'' last acts
being the insertion of a clause which
gives the United States greater power
and a more general supervision of the
canal in case of war The wording of
the treaty, as it now stands, is rot clear.
and it is to be regretted that Senator
Davis could not have finished mis- worl;
OF revision. The United States is prob
ably strong enough to make the canal
warm place for the ships of any ma
ton which might be Objectionable at any
time, but paper of 50 much Importance
should be clear on all points and leave
nothing to be taken for granted. The
United States ought to have full authority
to close that canal against an enemy,
but the Hay-Pauncefote treaty does rot
give that power.-Jaekson Republic.
