Buys Large Water Rights.

The Green Bay and Mississippi! Canal
Company has purchased Of Henry Hew-
EFT of Everett, Wash, all his interests
in the Fox river water power at Kau-
kauna and elsewhere, the consideration
being over 100000 The deal gives the
canal company practically absolute con-
troll of all the power on the north side
of the river at Kaukauna. 1t also wipes
out much pending litigation.

The committee on the revision of tho
rules has started a break in the matter
of legislative employees. Up to four years
ago the Legislature was run on a broad
gauge plan in the matter of employees,
but the Legislature Of 1897 instituted
reform while suffering from a spasm of
economy One or two attempts have
been made since to loosen the bands. but
they have failed. At its last meeting
the new COMMITTEES decided to recon-
mend an increase of two attendants and
two stenographers for each house. The
recomm andation viii probably be adopt
ed. IN the old days there were clerk
ships that were the softest kind of snaps.
the clerks doing little more than TO draw
their salaries, but the reform was car
ried almost too far and there are COM
mittees now which have no clerks that
ought to have them.

NOT dCCEPTtBLE.

Colonel Sanger of New York is not ac-
ceptablc to the senators from that state
for the position of assistant secretary OF
war. Senator Platt has formally pro-
tested against his appointment and Sen
ator Depew has expressed his Opposl-
ton. If 1t be true that President Nc
kinlcy made the selection entirely upon
the recommendation of the secretary of
war 1t Is very radical departure from
the course he has pursued during the
last four years in the matter of appoint
ments and it must be admitted that
there is justification for the resentment
manifested by Senators Platt and De-
pew.
The incident will call to mind the con-
fiict between President Garfield and
Senators Conkling and Platt in 1881,
but it is safe to say that in the present
case the New York senators will not
feel called upon to resign and that Presl-
dent Mckinley will recognize their right
TO be consulted regarding appointments,
which Is the chief point at stake,
though 1t Is alleged that Colonel Sanger
has not been consistent republican.
The issue may result in the selection of
an assistant secretary Of war from some
other state.

THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.

The report from Commissioner Taft
regarding conditions in the Philippines
is most encouraging and reassuring. 1t
conclusively shows that a rapid change
of feeling toward the United States is
taking place among the natives Of Luzon
and contains the promise of an early
ending Of all serious resistance to
American authority in the island. 1t
appears that the improved situation Is
to a very considerable extent due to the
efforts of the federal party whose lead
crs have been laborlng most encrget-
ically to convince their countrymen that
their interests and welfare will he pro-
noted by accepting American SOW
crcignty. Judge Taft bears earnest
testimony to the effective work done by
this party and evidently has full faith
in It's sincerity of purpose.
The work of establishing provincial
governments goes steadily forward and
Is proving entirely successful. The dis
patch from Judge Taft states that five
such governments have been organized
during three weeks, under the most
satisfactory conditions. The report says
the people are anxious for provincial
governments and manifest enthusiasm
at their organization. The commission
is arranging to establish more of them
at once and there Is reason to expect
that within the next month or two at
least dozen provincial governments
will be added to those already organ
lied.
The report concludes with the state
ment that the conditions have never
been so favorable to the restoration of
complete peace and the accomplishment
of the declared purposes of the presi-
dent, which is attested by the fact that
number of the leaders have made
overturcs to surrender.
This statement of the situation can
be depended upon as absolutely ac-
curatc and trustworthy. Judge Taft
and his associates on the Philippine
commission are not the men to mislead
the American people. They are men OF
the highest honor and integrity, who are
giving to the task they have In hand
the most faithful and conscientious de-
votion. Judge Taft accepted the posi-
ton from n sense of patriotic duty, as
did all the members of the commission
and they are entitled TO the utmost con
fidencc. As was said by President Me
Kinley in his inaugural address: "The
governments representatives, civil and
military, are doing faithful and noble
work in their mission of emancipation
and merit the approval and support of
their countrymen." This they will have
The present promise is that within a
year, possibly in much less time, pacifi.
cation will be complete in the Philip
pines and everywhere in the Islands
American sovereignty will be accepted
Under the enlarged authority given the
president by congress civil government
will be established there with power
to promote industrial and commercial
development, which cannot fail to prove
most potent agency in restoring peace

10 ABROGATE the TREATY.

The desire of Senator Morgan for the
abrogation of the Clayton Bulwcr treaty
Is unquestionably shared by great
many Americans, but it is entirely safe
to say that the resolution he has in
troduccd in the United States senate,
declaring the treaty abrogatcd, will not
be acted upon at present.
The Alabama senator takes the posi-
tion that the convention negotiated in
1850 between Great Britain and the
United States. in relation to au isthmlan
canal, does not stand In the way of this
government legislating for the Mica
ragua canal. He is by no means alone
In this view. II is held, among others,
by so eminent an authority as exSen-
ator Edmunds, who. writing on the sub
ject short time ago. said that It ap-
peared to him to be clear that the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty, whatever 1t may
have meant when IL was concluded in
1850, does not now stand in the way Of
the canal being built and operated by
the United States with the concurrence
of the republic of Nicaragua and pos
sibly of Costa Rica. He expressed the
opinion that in view of the changes in
the situation that have taken place since
the treaty was concluded half century,
ago. there is no Just ground for hesi-
tation in regard to the immediate duty
Of the United States in arranging with
Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the con-
structioD OF canal absolutely free from
any obligations to other countries other
than those that from time to time shall
commend themselves to our sense of in
ternational good neighborhood and jus
tice. Protocols have been entered into
by this country with Nicaragua and
Costa Rica and IL is one of the conten-
tions of Senator Morgan that this action
in effect abrogated the treaty. That
there was no such intention on the part
OF the president, however, will hardly
be seriously questioned, for when the
protocols were entered into full recogni-
tion of the Clayton. Bulwcr treaty had
been given by the executive depart
ment of the government in the negotia-
tlon of the Hay-Pauncefote convention.
II Is certainly most desirable to get
rid of the old treaty, but this should be
done in n proper, legitimate and
amicable way, as honorable govern
mcnts are in the habit of doing such
things II is to be regretted that the
Hay .Pauncefote convention was allowed
to lapse, but there must be regard for
the original position of the Salisbury
government on that treaty and this
country cannot go ahead roughshod and
override all the international reciproci-
ties of the case.
1t is not to be apprehended that there
will be any very grave difficulty between
the United States and Great Britain
over this matter. 1t Is understood to be
the intention of President Mckinley to
renew negotiations on the basis of the
agreements in the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty of primary necessity In establish
ing the rights of the two countries in the
use and control of the proposed canal
An earnest effort will be made to secure
the removal of the differences that have
thwarted an agreement and there Is rca-
son to think that 1t will be successful.

IMPOTENT DEMOCRACY.
Attempts TO Block the Wheels of
Progress Come 10 Naugbt.
Salt Lake Tribuno.

Salt Lake Tribune.
The democracy did not want any provision
made putting limitations on Cuba, They
did not want any code established for
the Philippines. They wanted to leave the
whole matter to the president, and then
to charge that he was working without
authority and usurping power that never
attached to his high office. SO when the
bill came up in the senate for final ad-
justment they tried to kill It by amend
ments and delays. The republicans simply
let them talk, voted down their amend
ments. kept still, let them exhaust them
selves and finally carried the day as they
ought to have done. And now their news
papers gnash their teeth and declare that
the republicans could not answer the argu-
ments 1t must have been very hard for
a great many of them to keep still. They
let the democracy burn out its red fire
and go down in dissolving views and the
way Is open now to proceed with the ad-
justment of both the East and West In
dies. And we trust that before congress
meets again both will be settled, so that
when the next congress meets the demo-
Gratis will have nothing to assall but the
trusts and the tariff, A good many Of
the trusts are liable to be smashed before
that time, and the people long ago made
UP their mind on the tariff. The senti-
ment OF the dominant party is that the
present tarin needs some readiustment but
there is no proposition on their part to
stop the mighty wave OF prosperity that Is
rolling over this country by institutng
again free trade. Most OF the democrats
In congress are going back to their con-
stituents gnawing the hardest kind OF a
file.
