A Bnsiness Forecnst

The country gets so many danger
signals from James ]. Hill that II is
refreshing to hear him on his recent
arrival from the west in New York
preaching optimism with reference to
economic conditions. Yet he IS not
quite satisfied with things even now,
and will not be until the government
feels no longer called upon to force
big business to be good He says:
Genei a, business OF the country, taken
as whole, is in very satisfactory con-
dition. There is no menace anywhere.
There are no natural conditions which
would serve TO prevent activity In every
branch OF industry, except for the uneer-
talnty hanging over the country as a
result OF the various prosecutions OF cor,
Dorations. When that atmospheric dis
turbance has cleared up. which Il must
do In time, II wan be found that the Under
lying situation is one that WIN inevitably
form basis for very general prosperity.
The country Is sound but Just now every
body is hesitatng badly about taking M
new enterprises. Something must be done
to resssure the country and dlssipate the
uncertainty which looms ahead 10

The Peace Treaties.

President Tnft's proposed interna-
tional arbitration treaties, which are
to come before the senate at the APP
preaching short session OF congress
arc evidently gathering popular
strength. The president received as
surances from number OF senator's
on his recent tour that they would
vote for the treaties with Great
Britain and with France and I'm addi-
ton to this there must be tremen-
dous encouragement in the following
massed under the name Of the Citi-
zens' National committee, organized
TO promote tho measure This COM
mittco, composed OF representative
men from all parts OF tho country
and all pursuits Of life, being pre-
emlnently non-partisan and non-po-
litical In character, should exert
strong influence for ratification.
The United States has made so
much Of it's leadership in this move
ment for world peace that It cannot
we'll recede from its advanced posi-
ton without discrediting its sim
certify and, TO most people, It will
seem like recession if the senate
should fail to ratify these treaties.
It is apparent now that the chief OBJ
lection raised by the senate has been
met in the forum OF public discus
sion and that the popular view Is
against the senate's criticism, that
the Joint high commission feature inn
pairs the treaty-makng powers Of the
senate. In other words, some sena-
tors maintain that to let an arbltra-
tion board decide what Is justiciable
under these treaties is to tresspass
upon tho constitutional rights of the
senate.
The president has more than once
shown that It is no more trespassing
upon the senate's prerogatives than
upon the executives. The latter has
quite as extensive powers in refer
ence to treaty making as the senate.
But this point is raised as IL II were
something new. Governor Simeon e.
Baldwin of Connecticut. also for
merly chief Justice OF the supreme
court of that state and former presl-
dent Of the American Bar association,
declares that the door to the negotia-
ton of treaties of this class was
opened wide by congress Itself in
1890 by concurrent resolution
which requested the president:
To invite from time to time a. occa-
sions may arise, negotiations vita any
government with which the United States
has, or may have diplomatic relations TO
the end that any differences or disputes
arising between the two governments
which cannot be adjusted by diplomatic
agency may be referred TO arbitration
and be peaceatly adjusted by such means
Governor Baldwin adds in COM
ment: ut seems ungracious in the
senate after uniting in this overture
to the world to insist on so rigid
doctrine as to the delegation OF the
treaty-making power" The fact that
this same thing has been done in the
History OF tails country dozen times,
ought to be sufficiently reassurlng.

In the Lirht Of the Retnrns

Commenting on the recent election
returns, the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican says: Both democrats and
republicans will find things to please
them and also to displease them, "
which, OF course, is always true. "In
the four important governorship con-
tests the results. in Rhode Island
and Maryland are satisfactory from
the republican point OF view, but
equally satisfactory from the demo
cratic point of view are the results
In Massachusetts, and kentucky"
Hardly. A year ago Foss was
elected governor of Massachusetts, as
a democrat by about 81, 1000 plurality,
This year his plurality is about 5000.
Nobody need argue that the loss OF
$4,000, no matter what the cause OF
causes, is satisfactory to the demo
Gratis. II is very unsatisfactory, for
It augurs badly for that party. In
Rhode Island. where the republican
governor, Pothier, was reelected. Il
was by a greatly increased plurality
over year ago. In Maryland the
republicans won out for governor
after q most strenuous campaign
against strong candidate, Arthur
Pue German, jr, supported by a we'll
managed democratic machine and the
prestige Of the German name and
following.
II will hardly do to say that the
republicans have not moro to en-
courage them in these results than
tho democrats.

The fact develops that Stark, the

Gratis to give color to their fusion

cerned a little wider to the bunco
game which the democrats have been
playing in Nebraska in order to plas-
ter their nominees with two party
labels.
