CANAL TREATY OUTLOOK.

Omaha Bee: Expressions by sen
ators who have recently called at the
state department, respecting the lines
upon which the canal treaty
should be drawn, are said to have sat
isfied the secretary of state that he
has succeeded in framing a conven-
ton that will meet with the complete
acquiesence of the senatorial leaders.
1t is stated that this is true even of
some of the democratic senators. 1t
is suggested, however, that n of
the dangers apprehended in the rati-
~fication of the treaty is diversion of
support from the treaty as presented to
the senate to amendments which may
be offered by persons who in princi-
pie already have accepted the treaty
itself. N
But it is quite improbable that this
danger will be encountered. If Secre-
tary Hay and Ambassador P~auncefote
have succeeded in meeting, in the new
convention, the objections to the
treaty which was rejected last year,
as appears to be the case, it is unlike
ly taht any serious effort will be
made to amend the present conven
ton. From what is said of it's char
acter, both in Washington and Lon
don, the British government has con
ceded everything which the United
States senate deemed essential. That
government, it is understood, assents
fully to the demand that the proposed
canal shall be absolutely under the

HEADw,NDs FOR BIG MEN.

Minneapolis Journal: Every war
has it's heroes and every hero has his
enemies, secret Or open. Some men
woh think they are heores are often
met by assaults upon their dignity and
pride. Not a few of our own military
and naval heroes have come into trou-
BILE through their propensity to write
something. Even General Sherman,
"Old Tecump," was made a target for
abuse because he wrote a book of me-
moirs. General Alger has encounter
ed the Ire of Richard Harding Davis
and Casper Whitney because, in CIV
can war, he charges them with cow
ardice and flight and with writing ac-
counts of the fight at Las Guasimas
by drawing upon their imagination
freely in the quiet of Siboney. These
gentlemen, it is announced from New
York, are about to bring libel suits
against the general, and the latter will
have to get out his gun again. The
career Of General Alger as secretary
of war is not altogether a felicitous
record, and he is rather %imprudent to
make a bid for war by his severe crit
icism Of two live newspaper men.
The Sampson-Schley controversy is
an interesting spectacle. The public
nave divided upon their respective
merits, but there are undisguisable
somewhat fatigued over the proceed
ings of the court of inquiry. Every
military or naval officer who has done
something worthy to be talked about
favorbaly must make up his mind to
be assailed with more or less bitter
ness. Old General Putnam was fierce
ly assailed by his enemies years after
the battle at Bunker Hill, but the old
aero remains a hero and school chill
dren are still inspired with admiration
as they read of his gallop down those
immortalized steps. There are some
military and naval heroes to whom
the mud of utilization will not and
cannot stick. Grant, for Instance;
Washington, for instance. Yet there
is no doubt that in the history of such
%vilification cases may be found where
| a brave officer, who has done his duty
punctiliously and Loyalty, has been
sent into undeserved obscurity
through the miserable jealousy and
malice Of perjured brother officers.
The case of General Butler in En-
gland is interesting in this connec
ton, since the British public have sud
denly clustered around him with noisy
| admiration, after the war office has
| dismissed him for incompetency, and
are determined to treat him as a hero

PLEA FOR A TRAITOR.

Refusing to profit by the dismal
failure Of Historian" Maclay in seek
ing to force upon the American peo-
pie an estimate of the character of one
of the nations historic persons, an
other man with a weakness for scrib-
bling has come out with a book. I'm
like the navy yard laborer, however,
he does not seek to tear down the
reputation of a nan whom the people
idolize and deals with the dead. rath-
err than the living. The latest aspir-
ant for fame bears the suggestive
name of Goldman and the object of
his contribution to literature is to
do justice to the memory of a man
that above all others the people of
America abhor and detest. He claims
that Benedict Arnold, instead of be-
ing held up to the scorn and contempt
OF the nation for all time to come,
should be regarded aa one of it's ear
ly heroes. AS a reason for this he
feclteS the brilliant services Arnold
rendered the nation before he per-
mltted himself to be tempted by Brit
ish gold and promises of preferment
greater than he could reasonably ex-
pect by remaining true to the cause
of his country.
That a man should be found who
is willing to condone treason and seek
to glorify the memory of a man whose
very name has been the synonym of
the most despicable treachery that has
ever stained the pages of history is
beyond comprehension. With equal
propriety might it be sought to can
[nonize Judas Iscariot and hold him
up as worthy of generation by those

931 immigrants who landed at the

that, FOR the present at leas: the vol

FOR DRASTIC MEASURES.

Omaha Bee: A Washington dis
patch says it is safe to predict that
President Roosevelt will in his annual
message recommend drastic measures
in the Philippines to suppress the
murderous outbreaks in some of the
semi-civillzed islands. 1t is said that
the president believes in action and
is fully in accord with the policy Of
Secretary Root. who favors vigorous
action against the insurgents.
General Chaffee, according to re-
ports is already taking very vigorous
action and if what he is doing is not
satisfactory to the authorities at
Washington they need not wait for
congress to act in the matter. The
president now has full power to di-
rect what shall be done in the Phil
ippines, the last congress having
given him absolute authority to put
into effect whatever policies he
should deem necessary for the sup
preston of the i~nsurrection and the
establishment of civil government in
the archipelago. AS comander-in-
chief of the army the president can
order any military operations in the
Philippines which he thinks the cir
cumstances require. If nor soldiers
are thought to be needed there they
can be sent without additional author
ity from congress and whatever ag-
gresive measures are deemed to be
called for can be adopted without
waiting for any action on the part
of the legislative branch of the gov
eminent. In a word, there is no re-
striction whatever Upon the president
in this particular and congress could
in nowise increase his power of deal
ing, in a military way, with the Philip
pine insurrection.
General Chaffee, there is no doubt,
can be depended upon to fully and
faithfully exercise all the authority
conferred upon him from Washington
duu ILLS uS ScCluo W We uO1uS luLCIlI-
gently and effectively. Recent re
ports showed good results from the
vigorous operations in the island of
Samar, one important effect being to
cause the surrender of a considerable
force Of insurgents in Cebu, where a
more or less serious disturbance had
prevailed. Operations elsewhere, ac-
cording to the latest information, are
being energetically pushed and the
proposed act of the Philippine com
mission for the punishment of treason
and sedition is reasonably expected
to be helpful to the work of pacifca'
ton, which is undoubtedly making
progress, though less rapidly, perhaps
than has been hoped for. !.

There is more Catarrh in this section

put together, and until tho last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For many years doctors pronounced it
local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constant failing TO

1t incurable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-

For sheer melodrama the English
jewel robber Houghton's arrest would
be hard to beat. After his last big dia-
mond theft he was traced to West
Bromwich and thence led the detect
ives a dance over the country. At last
when the pursuers were hard on his
heels he dashed into travelling men,
agerie which was exhibiting just out
side Birmingham. There he found one
of the attendants fastening up a van
cage containing pair of large gray
wolves. He flung the man on one side
and opened the cage. shutting himself
in with the beasts and daring any one
to fetch him out. The strange thing
was that the wolves. which the propri-
etor had always considered the most
dangerous animals In the show. took no
notice whatever of the fugitive. but
showed great Ill temper toward the
keeper and a constable, who had great
difficulty In dragging Houghton out.

George Schaub, a well known Ger

a constant reader of the Dayton Volks-

aims to advertise only the best In its

lain's Pain Balm advertised therein
for lame back, he did not hesitate in
buying bottle of it for his wife, who
for eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains in her back and
could get no relief. He says: "After
using the Pain Balm for a few days
my wife said to me, I feel as though
born anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household dut-
