REASON FOR PROMPTNESS.

That is Il strong and should be Il CON
vincing reason for prompt ratification
Of the pending arbitration treaties
Senators, as reported in our Washington
correspondence. 1t is simply that upon
that ratification depends not alone the
fate Of these two conventions but also
the successful negotiation Of other sim
liar treaties with other powers, and
therefore the general extension of this
henefcent principle throughout the
world. 1t is not merely adjudication
between America and two friendly ma
tions which is at stake, but the cause
Of peace among all nations.
II Is well known that several other
nations have been making overtures to
our government for the negotiation Of
treaties similar 10 the two which are
now before the Senate. Among these
arc Germany. Russia, Japan, Sweden,
Norway and Belgium. There is nothing
to their discredit or 10 ours in the cir
cumstance that they did not seek such
rela tons as promptly as did France and
Great Britain. All could not he first,
and there were strong natural reasons
Why the two which were first 10 accept
the American Oyertures should have
that distinction. The point Of present
interest is that these other nations are
awaiting i'm some degree the result of
the Senate's action upon the French
and British treaties. If these are
promptly ratified the negotiations will
proceed If they are rejected or indefi-
nitey delayed the negotiations may be
abandoned. No nation enjoys seeking
that which il cannot attain.
There are those i'm this country. pos
sibly i'm the Senate. who are i'm favor of
these treaties. or of their essential prin-
cipies. but are opposed to their prompt
ratification: perhaps simply on the
ground that there is no need of hurry.
since there is no conceivable danger Of
war between us and either of the
powers concerned. But here is a reason
for expedition which should strongly
appeal 10 them. There are also those
~ hO are understood 10 regard the trea-
ties with disfavor because they are with
only two powers But here is an OPP
portunity to remove that putative re-
preach by securing. or at least cncour-
aging. similar engagements with various
other powers. II is the opposition 10
these treaties which causes the restric-
ton which is the ground Of that Oppos-
ton
There j. 40 exaggeration in saying
that the world at large is awaiting with
Intense Interest the action of the Amer
lean Senate upon these treaties. Upon
il will depend the further prosecution
Of the most hopeful movement toward
universal peace which has been under
taken In our time. 1t is for the Senate

VJSLAID-THAT DEMOCRATIC Up
LIFT

What has become of the great purifi-
cation movement within the Democratic
party in this state? The "uplift' had
for its direct purpose, we believe, the
divorcing of Charles Francis Murphy Of
Tammany from his place as overload
of the Democratic state organization.
This was TO he accomplished by revolt
of the uplifters upstate and in this city,
signalized by simultaneous primary
fights on Murphy and his henchmen
which should sweep them into disaster
and leave Virtue triumphant.
Primary day approaches, yea. is little
more than month away. Yet there
has been no great noise of battle ana
10 signs of impending conflict can be
d;scerned below the Bronx. In Albany
there is in progress the annual contest
AGAINST the Hon. "Packy' MCCabe,
Murphy's lieutenant. from which it Is
safe to assume that "Packy' VIII
emerge smiling as usual. In Monroe
County State Committeeman Finucane
Is emhroled over patronage matters
with others of the faithful: in Onondaga
there are local disturbances. In Erie
one William James Corners is breath
ing threats Of slaughter and worse
against Fitzpatrick, the Tammany lieu
tenant in charge of Murphy's business
In Buffalo. But Fitzpatrick has the
Jobs and the machine. and doesn't mani
fest great alarm. These local eruptlons
arc interesting, but they do not seem to
presage a widespread revolt.
Meantime. from Auburn, home or the
uIlift. comes never word; from the
Democratic Leagues bureau in the
Capital City issues no fresh declaration
of war Murphy. who was merely Il
local leader" when the purifiers were

THE REAL ISSUE AT WES7NIN
STER

/ Every days developments make it
clearer that the real issue at West
minister is not the veto power of the
House Of Lords or the hereditary prin-
cipe in legislation but Home Rule for
Ireland. Three features Of the situation
az the present time emphasize this fact.
One is the frank avowal of Mr.. Winston
Churchill that Home Rule was zone Of
the most important Of the issues which
were laid before the King last fall as
necessary to he disposed of. when the
Prime Minister sought guarantees for
the potential creation Of peers for the
hacking of the House Of Lords. The
impression given by Mr.. Churchill is
that the King was informed that the
intended action was desired in order
that Home Rule might be enacted with
out another appeal 10 the country
directly on that issue, Of which the re-
suit might he unfavorable.
Another feature is the nature of the
amendments which the Commons have
permitted TO be made. or perhaps rather
thr nature Of those amendments which
they have refused. The Lords amend
ment giving to Il committee instead of TO
the Sneaker of the Commons alone the
ROVER 10 decide whether bills. are purely
fiscal or not is accepted by the Com
mons. and so are those excluding pro
visjonal order bills from the public
category and forbldding the extension
6 tho form M the prpSpnf Parliament.
We suggested the other day that the
Commons could scarcely object 10 these.
Eat the amendment fOrbidding the crea-
ton of separate pariaments in parts OF
the United Kingdom is rejected OF
ccrrse. the only such Parliament which
anybody has any idea Of creating is one
at Dublin.
4 third indication is found in the
character of the peers who form Lord
Ualsbury's die hard contingent.
Those members Of the upper house who
are still talking Of fighting TO the death
and diving in the last ditch are not the
wilder and more irresponsible members
nor those who are most devoted To the
maintenance Of hereditary privilege. On
thc contrary. they include some Of the
sanest and most judlcions statesmen
alG those who. because Of their recent
elevation H. fhe pcerage for pure merit.
may be supposed to have least regard
for the hereditary system.

ner, Lord Halsbury and their compeers

CONDONING The RECALL.

Senator Joseph W. Baileys powers of
logic are equal to any demand made
upon them. On the closing day of the
last session of Congress he resigned IN
huff because most of his Democratic
collea CUES voted to approve the cOnsu-
tuition of Arizona with its provisions for
the initiative. the referendum and the
recall Of judges A number Of those Of
| tenders contritely assured Mr.. Bailey
that their votes did not represent their
views and he Withdrew the resigna-
! ton. But on Tuesday. when an amend
ment was offered to the pending Arl-
iona New Mexico bill requiring Arizona
to drop the judicial recall as pre-
requisite to admission. Mr.. Bailey voted
against It in company with all his Dem
ocratic colleagues but one, making the
remarkable explanation that there were
worse features in the constitution than
the judicial recall and that he did not
want to eliminate one bad provision
hen there was no chance Of eliminating
the others.
The vote on the Nelson amendment
showed that there was just one among
the Democratic opponents of the judicial
recall who was courageous enough 10
vote as he talked That exception, we
are glad TO note, was the Junior Senator
from this state Mr. O'Gorman. Imam
admirable speech on the recall clause
he said:
/ desire to enter my solemn protest
against what | conceive to be one of the
| most destructive and revolutionary as
saults ever made on the stability Of rep
resentative government. An UNI
trammelled judiciary is the bulwark of
our liberties, and if you dethrone it you
| substitute tumult and lawlessness and
anarchy and will hasten the dissolution
| Of the Republic. If you countenance and
! approve this provision of the Arizona
| constitution you strike a blow against
the entire judiciary of the United States.
Other Democrats had spoken in the
same vein in both houses Of Congress,
but when 1t came to repelling "the most
obstructive and revolutionary assault
ever made on the stability Of represent
"ative government" they meelly voted
to allow the people of Arizona to reject
or retain the judicial recall as they
might see fit.
| 1t is easy enough to understand why
anybody who thinks the recall either a
good thing or matter of Indifference
should support the House resolution, in
tended TO facilitate Arizona's entry into
the Union under its present constitu-
| tiOn But il is hard 10 see why Repre-
sentatives and Senators who have holly
denounced the recall should turn around
and vote TO give the sanction Of Con
gress to what they themselves hold to
be a deplorable departure from sound
principles Of representative government.
| The passage Of the House resolution
was a plain evasion of duty, made pos
sibe by the votes Of men who were I'M
equal to translating words into action.

criticised as much during the second
year of his administration as he was

standing the shock occasioned by the at

hard knocks without asking quarter.

STARS AND STRIPES BURNED
Canadian Yankee Hater' Applauded
by Crowd and Praised by Paper.

Buffalo. Aug "a dispatch from London,
Ont. says that Thomas Mdgeley, who
prides himself on the title Yankee Halter
last night publicly burned the Stars and
Stripes in the streets Of the town Of
Woodstock few hours before some
one in a spirit OF mischief had nailed an
American flag above the door OF his shop.
When Midgeley saw the flag he called his
laborers around him and, walking 10 the
middle of the street lighted a fire and
burned the flag. Then he scattered the
ashes about the streets. that the horses
might trample them under their feet"
His action was appauded by a large
crowd a local newspaper, which is
strongly opposed to reciprocity refers to
Midgeley as a man whose heart rings true
with loyalty and patriotism"
American residents will bring the incident
TO the attention of the consular authorities,
with the object of obtaining an apology
from Midgeley
