A HINT TO CANADA.
She Would Have Done Better to Fol-
low Lines of Less Resistance.

Boston Journal.
There is a suggestion which Canada
would do we'll to lay to heart in the expla-
nation which Lord Alverstone has made
of his vote on the Alaskan boundary 1.-The
considerations urged on behalf of Canada"
says Lord Alverstone, ''strong as they are
in favor of a just and equitable modifica-
ton of the treaty, do not. in my opinion.
enable one to put a different construction
upon the treaty"
That is precisely the point. When Can
ada discovered that. by reason of the open
ing up of the Klondike and her agricui-
tural and railroad expansion, certain privi-
leges on the Pacific coast became important
10 her. the way was open TO her to seek
the needed concessions in the usual way.
They might have been arranged, on some
equitable basis. with compensation on one
hand for grants made on the other.
But the misguided Canadian politicians
would have none of this. They chose TO be-
lieve, or TO profess TO believe, that the
things which they wanted were contained
in the Anglo Russian treaty, or by some
mental legerdemain could be read into il.
They insisted upon preposterous construc-
ton of the ancient convention to meet their
new necessities BY means of this Alaskan
question they held up the negotiations for
the settlement of other open questions be-
tween Canada and the United States, OPEN
ly taking the ground that nothing else
should be settled until this was settled ac-
cording 10 their views.
They are now reaping the fruit of their
error in the award of the boundary COM
mission. No other award. as Lord Alver-
stone suggests. was possible TO a juuicial
body whose business was merely to inter-
pref an old treaty, not to negotiate a new
one 1t made no difference to the COM
mission what Canada would like to have
found in the treaty. IL was their business
10 say what was really there.
And now that the thing is over. il would
be vastly better for the Canadians, in
stead of railing at Lord Alverstone for a
disappointment for which they have only
themselves to thank. TO consider what they
really need on the Pacific coast, and by
what means. through friendly arrange
ment and mutual concessions, they may
seek TO secure Ii.

AGAINST UTAH SENATOR
ANDERSON w. c. T. L. WANTS THE
HON. REED SMOOT REMOVED.
Petition Presented I'm City Churches

cfcty Meeting at Farmland.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Oct. 25-The Woman's
Christian Temperance Union made an
avowed move to-day against United States
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah. The Min
isterial Association was presented with pc
titions directed to Senators Fairbanks and
Beveridge of Indiana, asking the senators
to interest themselves at once in the in
vestigation of the charges of polygamy
against the senator from Utah The min
listers presented the petitions to their con-
gregations this morning in all the Chris
tan churches of Anderson, and they were
very literally signed. The petitions ask
the senators to investigate the charge in
Congress, and IL il is found that the SEN
ator is a polygamist to move his expulsion
from the Senate.
1t was recited that polygamy is against
the doctrine OF the Constitution, and that
Smoot swore allegiance to his church first
before the state. The petitions will be for
warded at once to Senators Fairbanks and
Beyeridge.

According TO a report from Consul General
Mason, at Berlin. the Germans have exper-
imented very successfully with a new
motor invented by young Austrian eIec--
trician of Berlin. This motor achieves what
has not been accomplished, heretofore. at
least not in Europe, viz, it propels the full
sized service car at any desirable degree of
speed without employing any cumbersome
and expensive regulating devices. while de-
irving its energy from single phase alter
mating current of 5000 volts, carried along
the line on one small trolley wire and de-
livered directly TO the motor without con-
version to a lower voltage of a continuous
current The point demonstrated by the
tests which are still in progress, is the eff
fectiveness of the new motor for the special

THE FlFTY.EleHTH CONGRESS.

At noon today the Fifty-eighth con-
gress of the United States convened
in Washington in extraordinary SEES
sion. Joseph G. Cannon OF Illinois,
the choice of the republican caucus,
was made speaker. The special work
of this session will be the considera-
ton of the Cuban reciprocity meas

connection will be watched with great
interest by the people Of the nation
But aside from the interest that at

there are other points of interest that
are not generally mentioned.

the fourteenth extraordinary session

Mr.. HANNA's GREAT VICTORY.

Kansas City Journal.-The two most
conspicuous results of Tuesdays cleo
tons are Tammany's triumph in New
York and Marcus A. Hanna's wonderful
victory in Ohio. That Ohio would re-
main safely in the republican column
was u foregone conclusion. But the
anticipations of the most optimistic
precedentel majority by which Tom
Johnson was buried far beyond hope
of resurrection and the legislature was
made so strongly one-sfded that Mr..
Hanna's re- election will be almost by
reclamation.
The triumph of Hanna is all the more
gratifying from the fact that it is a
decisive answer from his own fellow
citizens to the calumnies that have
been heaped upon his own head, in
season and out of season, by enemies
at home and abroad. The full force
of Tom Johnson's campaign was di-
| rected against him; he was the issue,
| and on that issue he has won a per-
sonal vindication that leaves nothing
| to be desired. The people of Ohio have
| given notice that Marcus A. Hanna
| has their confidence and their admira
ton and that the abuse poured upon
| him SO copiously has had the effect
merely of roofing him the deeper in
| their good graces.
| The result is as pleasing to repub
/ licans throughout the country as to
| republicans in Ohio Mr. Hanna is a
1 prime favorite in his party and is re-
| garded as one of the party's biggest
/ and most capable leaders, There Is no
| other man in the union whom the re-
i publican masses would have been more
/ gratified to see score a great personal
victory than Marcus A. Hanna.

GEN. MILES AS POLICE COMMITS
SloNER.

Rumor has it that one of the names
being considered by Tammany in con-
pection with the Office OF police COM
missioner to succeed General Greene,
is that of General Nelson A. Miles, who
until a few months ago was command
ing general of the United States army.
Whether General Miles would consider
such an appointment is not known, but
ii would unquestionably be good
piece OF politics if Tammany could pre-
vail upon him to accept the office.
Among the Offices in the municipal
government OF New York that Of POI
lice commissioner is one of the most
important It is closely connected
with the administration of the govern
nient and the enforcement of law
Judging from past experiences under
the rule of Tanmany this department
will be run to the advantage of those

to take their orders from the Tam

COLOMBIA is TOO LATE.

Colombia has come to its senses. 1t
has seen the folly of refusing the ca
nal treaty proposed by the United
States and now comes clothed in hui
mility begging that the United States
again take up the canal proposition
agreeing that it will meet with the
speedy approval of Colombia. 1t asks
only that the isthmus be restored to
it's former status. But these over.
lures have come toe late. There is
only one course open to the United
States and that is to inform the South
American country of the impossibility
of carrying out it's program.
The people of Panama have seen
fit to declare their independence from
the Colombian government and estab
fish a government of their own They
are unanimous in their approval OF
this course The new government
has been recognized not only by the
| United States, but by number 'o1
European powers and has taken its
place in the family of the American re
publics., The people of Panama are
intensely interested in the canal pro
ject and negotiations looking to the
commencement of the work of con
struction are to be begun immediate
4 ly. 1t is to be expected that thest
negotiations will be speedily consum
mated as the people of Panama hav'
heretofore expressed their desire tina
the United States should be given thu
management of the canal construction
and the control Of its operation.
The United States could not if
would accede to the proposals of &C
lombia in as it would thereby bind il
self to tear down the Panama reput
lie and restore it to the control of &C
lombia. 1t is only to be expected tina
the United States will get muc
more satisfactory agreement from tn
Panama government than it coul
have secured from Colombia. In vie,
of these facts there can be no regre
that the canal treaty failed to receiv
the approval of the Colombian cor
gress.

SPEAKER CANNON.

Joseph G. Cannon is the first llll-
noisan to ever be honored with selec-
ton of speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives. In fact with one excep-
ton, David B. Henderson, of Iowa, he
is the first speaker to come from a
point so far west. For many years
Mr.. Cannon has served his district and
the nation at large well as member
of congress and his election to the
speakers chair is a well deserved rec
ognition of his faithfulness and ability
as legislator.
During the time of Speaker Hender-
sons administration Mr.. Cannon acted
often as a pacificator between factions
whenever there was a feeling that Mr..
Henderson had gone too far. Speaker
Cannon might rightly be said to hold
the regard of every member of con
gress and it seems probable that his
administration as the executive officer
of the house will be eminently satisfac,
tory to it's members. 1t is expected
that he will depart from the custom OF
the house but it does not seem proba

Mckinley can avoid offense to the
southern whites without compromise Of
moral standards or violation of politi-
cal equality But it does not love peace
Well enough to endure crusade upon
the president of the United States for
following the natural instincts of
gentleman in his personal contact with
a black man superior to the average
white in culture, manners and patriot
ism; or for refusing. deliberately and
avowedly to appoint man to Office on
account of his color. Republicans may
deplore this raising of the race issue
as citizens; they cannot regret it on
the lower ground of partisans. We
doubt if any republican campaigner is
making more votes for Roosevelt than
Senator German.
