THE CANAL TREATY.

The Democratic senator's understand
that the sentiment of the country is
in favor of ratifying the Panama ca
nal treaty. and enough of them will
vote for it to insure it's ratification,
but before the vote is taken they
will bring to the attention of the pub
lie all of the details of the part which
the administration took in establishing
the Republic of Panama. They are sat
isfled that the administrations part in
the matter was not creditable to the
United States, and they want the
country to know the whole truth.
Boards of Trade, Chambers OF Com
merce and exchanges of one kind and
another, together with Legislatures in
the South, are passing resolutions ask
ing their respective senators to vote
for the treaty. There is, therefore, no
occasion for uneasiness in regard to
the treaty.
In the January number of Every
body's Magazine, Representative Will
liams OF Mississippi, the leader of the
Democratic minority of the House, has
an article on What Democracy Stands
For" in the course of which he says:
''The Democracy is, however, for the
canal, and is willing to take a canal
at Panama, if at all, because 1t cannot
get the other, and because it will do
the Americn navy American COM
merce and American industry a vast
deal of good even there. The party
is not going to permit itself to be
thrown by its enemies into an anti
| canal attitude" Mr.. Williams states
the case exactly. The Democratic par
ty isn't going to allow the Repubn-
cans to force it into an anti-canal
| attitude. Mr.. Williams knew what the
Democratic senators were going to do
in regard to the Panama treaty when
he wrote the foregoing. 1t is entirely
safe to say, therefore, that the treaty
will be ratified.
If what had been done on the 18TH
mus by the revolutionists could be
undone there might be some question
about ratification, but the new repub-
lie has come to stay Even If the
treaty should be rejected the new re-
public would remain, in all probability.
The Democratic senator's, therefore, or
at least the most of them, following
the wishes Of their constituents. win
vote for the treaty, but before ratihca-
ton takes place the country will be put
in possession of facts that will show
that Mr. Roosevelt is hardly the sort
of a man to entrust with the presi-
dency,

"TOuching."

There was big congregation in the
church, and the pastor had been
warming" them up to the needs of a
charity that needed q considerable
amount of money, says the New York
Post To make the hearts of the Civ
ers more susceptible the minister had
induced some of the young women of
the congregation to act as collectors,
and at a given signal they were to have
passed down the various aisles of the
church; but one girls courage failed
her at the last moment, and she hung
back. Others with her were demoral-
ized too, and the result was that the
people sitting on one side of the gal
lery had no opportunity to give of their
means, however much the minister
stirring words might have melted their
hearts.
The pastor was quick to note the
failure of some of his collectors, and
he called to the usher on that side of
the gallery:
Mr.. Blank, have no collectors passed
through that side of the gallery yet?"
The usher, his heart in his work, re-

There was a subdued smoker on the

into an honest laugh as the whole or

AN INTERESTING QUESTION.

A question that is at present at
tracing a good deal of attention in
London is this: Should brokers be per-
mitted to advertise? Hard times call
ed this question to the front. 1t is
said that there are many brokers in
their office expenses during the past
year. There is d great deal of BUSH
ness done by brokers who are not
members of the Stock Exchange, and
the point is made that the regular
brokers, if permitted to advertise,
would get this business.
1t seems there are thousands of
small investors in England who do not
know anything about making invest
ments in securities. When they get a
few hundred dollars they want to put
it to work earning interest. OF course
they have to go to a broker to find
out what to buy. Not knowing any
broker they look at the advertise
ments and go to broker whose name
they find in the newspapers.
1t issnot claimed that these irregular
brokers are dishonest. but 1t is assert
ed that they charge two commissions,
their own commission and a commits
sion for the person from whom they
purchase, that is, they charge buy
ing and selling commission, and, in
most instances, the party making the
purchase has to pay both commissions,
though he doesn't know he does.
The rules of the Stock Exchange
against advertising are stricter than
those which deny solicitors and physi-
clans the privilege of advertising. In
such conservative city as London it
is hardly probable, therefore, that the
rules of the Stock Exchange will be
changed so as to give the brokers a
chance to see if they cannot improve
their business by letting the public
know it. There doesn't seem to be
any doubt that advertising would be
helpful to them.
The younger brokers are the ones
who are suffering most from the
aearth of business, and they are
the ones who suggested advertising,
but after they had thought the matter
over they were far from sure they
wanted the privilege granted because
they saw that the brokers who Were
able to do the most attractive advertis-
ing would get the bulk of the bust
ness.
1t looks therefore as il after much
talk the question of changing the rules
of the Stock Exchange so as to per-
NIT its members to advertise their
business will be dropped without being
settled.

Learning TO Walk.

Clifton Bingham. the author of I'm
Old Madrid" has written $500 songs, of
which 1880 have been published and
the other half rejected says the Boston
Post
Mr.. Bingham is not himself a mu-
sician, but he is an excellent musical
critic. His ear is delicate and sensitive,
and nothing annoys him more than TO
hear bad singing or bad playing.
He was visiting, last month, a cousin
of his in London, and this cousin has a
son, a boy of IL or 10, who practices on
the piano every morning. The muscu-
lar lad, banging false notes from the
instrument with tremendous Vigor,
tried Mr.. Bingham not little.
What on earth are you playing
there, Jimmy?" the song writer called
from the next room one morning.
"An exercise from First Steps in Mu-
sic, the boy answered.
II knew you were playing with your
feet" said Mr. Bingham, but would
you mind stepping a little lighter on the
keys?"

For pnrno.e of Economy.

Somebody told him that two could
live cheaper than one, and his salary
Of $40 a week was so small that it
seemed a long time between pay day,
says the Philadelphia Press. So, as a
matter of economy, he got married.
He had the good luck to get a smart
girl for a wife who had literary am
billions. At the end of the first three
months they were in debt to every
body who would trust them, and they
held a consultation as to whether II
would be wiser to go into bankruptcy
or move over to Jersey. Economy and
retrenchment was discussed at every
meal but in practice they went from
bad to worse, and the young husband
began to lose color and have worn
and anxious look.
One evening he came home with a
bundle under his arms, his head held
high, his step buoyant and CLEAN
of triumph in his eye. His wife was
glad to see him thus, and made certain
that he had at last got the raise In
salary for which both had been hop
ing. She set the evening meal be-
fore him and waited for him to say
something. But, man like, he kept
her waiting. At last, when she could

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Houston Post (Dem) says: THE
annexation of Panama would be a sort
of compliment to Prof Robertson. Be-
cause of the scarcity of water the ma
tives never battle, the ladies perform
ing their additions with powder puff.
Thus it will readily be seen that the
more than skin deep"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
says: ut would be unsafe to predict
that Henry Watterson was growing
tender toward Mr.. Cleveland, but 1t
is an interesting fact that he describes
as sheer political insanity the propo-
sition to reaffirm the platforms of 1896
and 1900, when the party was defeated,
rather than those, let us say, of 1892
and 1884, on which decisive victories
were Won. Mr.. Watterson remembers
in what years Mr.. Cleveland led the
Democratic party to its only national
victories since the Civil War"
The Galveston News (Dem.) says;
Senator Morgan has introduced a bill
to annex Panama and pay for 1t.
other bills will be introduced, and nu-
merous amendments will be ordered.
If the present treaty is defeated and
the canal lost. the loss will be charged
up to the Democratic party. Mark
this prediction, and see II work out.
Some Republican senators are quite
as stoutly opposed TO the treaty as
any Democrat Is; but they are too
foxy to subject their party and ticket
to the charge OF defeating the canal

Maj. Crawley. the Presidents
major-domo, holds one of the most diff
-ficult jobs in Washington. 1t is his
business TO keep the social functions
straight; to attend to the order of pre-
cedence and see that people march in
to dinner or to shake the executive
hand in their proper order. In official
circles the right Of precedence
is most rigidy guarded and insisted
upon, and it is an offense we'll nigh
mortal to make a high cockalorum
walk behind a cockalorum not so high
Notwithstanding this has been the
rule for years, the precise order OF pre-
cedence has not yet been definitely
established, hence knotty problems and
more or less serious quarrels are con-
stantly arising and making trouble for
the master of ceremonies and others.
At the moment Maj. Crawley is in
trouble. 1t seems that at the latest re-
ception to the judiciary at the White
HouFe Maj Crawley placed certain
members of the diplomatic corps ahead
of the justices of the Supreme Court.
The justices hold that, inasmuch as
the reception was in their honor they
should have come first. Maj. Crawley's
contention is that, as guests of the
government, the diplomats were Untitled
to precedence. This is one case, it
seems, in which the opinion of the
Supreme Court is not final, so the
justices have taken an appeal to the
President.

THE BEGINNING OF BRYAN'S CAM
PAIGN.

PAlCiN.
Mr. Bryan begins his campaign for
! the control of the Democratic National
Convention at the Madison Square
Garden Concert Hall. New York,
tonight. The subject Of his
talk will be THE Moral Issue" and
| he has sent invitations to about all
of the ministers of New York city
1t is clearly Mr.. Bryan's purpose to
| deliver a series of speeches along the
line indicated by the foregoing title
| with the view of creating a sentiment
among Democratic voters that will
help him in the fight he intends to
make to have the Kansas city plat
form reaffirmed and ticket named
that will be in harmony with his po-
litical views.
There are reasons for thinking that
until recently he was under the i'm
preston that he would have no diff
Guilty in having the Kansas City plat
form reaffimed, but since his return
from Europe he has discovered that
the tide of sentiment among Democrats
in all parts of the country has been
running strongly against reaffirming
that platform. Therefore he has set
himself to work to combat that sem
timent. and he has determined to be-
gin in the stronghold of it. He wants
the ministers to be present and hear
what he has to say, because he hopes
to interest the pulpit in his campaign
to such an extent that it will give
him its assistance. He is going to
take high moral grounds against
trusts, the money power and politi-
clans who would sacrifice anything for
the sake of success and the spells of
office. In other words he will virtu-
ally say that only by following his
lead can the Democratic party play
an honest part.
Mr.. Bryan knows now that the great
majority of the members of the Dem
ocratic National Committee and the
Democratic members of Congress and
the Democratic newspapers are against
reaffirming the Kansas City platform
That seems to make him only the more
determined that the Democratic party
shall stand by the declarations which
he doesn't care so much for the sue
cess of the Democratic party as he
does to prevent the party from tacit-
ly admitting that the position it took
in 1900 was wrong. 1t took that posi-
ton because Mr.. Bryan bulldozed it
into taking it, and it is Mr.. Bryan's
purpose to compel it to say that that
position was right even though new
issues are added to its platform this
year.
Mr.. Bryan is a man with a grievance
and hence isn't a safe man to follow.
His grievance is that a great many
Democrats deserted him in 1896 and
1900, and he is determined that they
shall not have the satisfaction of vot-
ing for a ticket nor of supporting a
platform in harmony with their views.
They shall not have the satisfaction
of having the party admit that he
was wrong in the positions he took
and dragged the party after him in
1900. The fight he Is making there
fore is for the vindication of himself
and not for the success of the party
and for the right, as he seems to think
and as he will claim tonight. He
doesn't give those who are anxious for
a ticket and a platform that will stand
a chance of winning the election credit
for honesty. He claims all of the hon
esty for himself
