The climax came when he offered q
resolution providing for the appoint

rAE SNAKE AGAIN.

What is the Water Board doing to-
wards securing an improved system?
A few weeks ago there were signs OF
activity. but all is quiet again "along
the Potomac"-or rather, the Brandy
wine
There are rumors, however. OF con-
ferences and negotiations between the
Commission and the representatives Of
that concern which is the Sand Filtra-
tion Company reorganized. Two con-
tracts were made with that concern,
the first the most marvellous ever en-
tered into by public oficials, and the
second almost equally bad.
The nrst was held as a lever to pro-
duce the second, and II is now rumored
that the second is warranted good 10
produce a third. Suits on the original
contract have been Withdrawn, but we
are gravely reminded that the second
yet holds, or may hold. Consequently
we are told that II may be possible to
compromise.
We have more faith in the commis-
sioners than to think they Will be 50
weak as to consider this sort Of argu'
ment. We hoped that the old deal wa'
permanently OF and that the Commits
sion would start anew. We think It Il
safe TO assume that there are othei
capable concerns that can draw plani
and can construct the plant. What q
the reason for the nacious hold thes
people seem TO have on Wilmington?

more. the Commission has done nothing
to warrant serious censure--certainly
not dismissal.
The Evening Journal has been a
stnunch advocate Of tile idea OF let
ting all publsc work by contract when
that is possible. and We think the Com
mission has erred in not following this
idea more closely; but there is no sus-
piclon OF dishonesty to talnt the COM
mission, and TO charge OF incfiiciency
can be sustained. II IS harsh and un-
just to charge these men with a Viola
tion Of their oaths; and If good gov
ernment is the thing at stake, we have
reason to expect that when the Off
GERS Of any department shall have their
attention called TO technical evasion
OF the law, they shall be given a chance
TO correct their procedure.
The law says that THE doing OF all
work and the furnishing of allmaterials
and supplies required by the said street
and Sewer Department shall be let out
by the directors OF said department
to the lowest and best bidder except
in case where, In the opinion Of the
said directors Il is not practicable 10
do such work or furnish such mater
ials and supplies by contract.
Manifestly It is impossible to ask fof
bids in all instances, though undoubt-
edly the commission would have been
wiser had II followed the system OF
public bidding more often. But We
have no idea that the Mayor contem.
plates drastic action on so slight 4
foundation. His administration ss
far has won the regard Of the people
and the public expectation is that th'
powers OF his ONCE Will not be useC
to build up a political machine. Th'
trend OF affairs in the Water Depart
ment Is already causing concern, ant
ere long the suspicion that the neces
stiles Of politics are pressing viii b'
justified.

soled by the reflection that he has done
much TO give Wilmington good govern

PANAMA TREATY RATIFIED.

IT WAS A FOREGONE conclusion
that the senate would ratifv the
canal treaty with the republic Of Pana-
ma OF two evils it seemed the lesser,
and on this principle alone it was pos
sible 10 secure the two-thirds necessary
10 ratification, The senators under
stood and the people understood that
II was the Panama canal or no canal.
Ehe Panama canal by fair means or foul
or no canal. The defeat of the treaty
would have meant delay Of many
Years, perhaps. in the undertaking Of
active operations.
Senator Berry Of Arkansas said YES
Serday that if he thought his vote
against the treaty would restore the
territory comprised in the republic Of
Panama to the United States of Col
ombia he would certainly cast a mega
tive vote. He knew, however, that the
defeat Of the treaty would not have
this erect. In his judgment the peo-
pie of the south, and ne might have
added the people Of the west and the
east and the north as well. want the
c--nal. Therefore. he voted for the
treaty.
Not the least interesting feature of
the discussion and the vote was the
flip flop performed By the venerable
senator from Massachusetts, Mr.. Hoar.
Senator Hoar, when asked what ne
meant BY critieizing the president so
ferOciously only a short time ago and
following that up by declaring his in
tention to vote for the treaty. replied
Ia effect that he castigated the presi-
dent because he loved him and because
ne thought the president was right all
the time We are accustomed to these
reversals' by the senator from NIassa-
chusetts, but his attitude is none the
less ridiculous and his attempts TO ex-
plain his position only made him more
ridiculous.
There il a strong intimation IN the
senate proceedings that a little later
on some millions Of collars are to be
voted to Colombia by way Of paying
her for the territory Of which she has
been deprived. Though it is now too
late 70 argue the question we are still
OF the opinion that Colombia should
be paid the money we are now obliged
by the terms Of the Hay Bunau-VarlIla
treaty to pay TO Panama. But if such
a proceeding as that had ever been con-
templated by the United States there
would never have been a revolution in
Panama.
