The issue has ssion a long time, and it would seem nate is well nigh unanimous on one side, 1se is equally united on the other. Such being the situation, the adoption of the treaty at an > session and its enforcement would almost as- edly precipitate 2 conflict. ¢ the He s been frequ e reciprocity treaty cannot be passed, but Sen- or Lodge told the Republican steering committee the opening of the extra session that a careful poll been taken of the old and the new Senators t sixty-four votes were virtually ,pledged for h the Panama and the Cuban treaty. That num- er is four in excess of the requisite two-thirds, and if the poll be correct the issue is going to be joined at .once The Washington correspondent of the American . Economist, in reviewing the sjuation, says: “The House members are determined to make it clear that pi of attempting to make the Cuban treaty ef- had and tha be constitutional, but wrong in principle. Some mem- bers of the House go so far as to express the belief that the Cuban treaty in its inception is wholly with- out warrant in the constitution and could not be made cffective even if the House should by concurrent legislation ratify the proposed changes in the revenue laws. Others are willing to accept the situation and support the plans of the administration if it shall be agreed that the matter shall stand until the House has had a chance to act upon it.” One of the significant features of the antagonism “between the two Houses is the dislike with which each regards the other’s method of doing business. Mr. Cannon denounced the Senate for submitting to the dictation of the minority, while Tillman de- nounced the House for suppressing discussion and submitting to the domination of the Committee on Rules. There is an element of reason on each side. It is true the House has virtually ceased to be a de- liberative body, but on the other hand it appears the Senate has well nigh ceased to'be a legislative body, 4 The House sometimes goes too far in suppressing ¥ the minority, while the Senate frequently goes too far in suppressing the majority. Of course, the dispute as to methods has no neces- sary relation to the controversy as to authority over : money bills, but in the present instance, as they hap- _pen to coincide, they mutually aid in precipitating the . contest which seems to be well nigh inevitable. EET——— The use of electric motive power on British rail- roads has progressed so rapidly that the wvarious companies are NOW arranging to adopt a uniform system so that the motors and cars can be used indiscriminately on all lines. The combination will be something like the beginning of the end of the old steam equipments, and may even mean a com- plete merger of the whole railway system of the kingdom T N . y great | nish is that of the Cuban reciprocity | i itly reported from Washington fective without action by the House is not only un- ENT’S PHILOSOPHY E have had often occasion to note and com- lTHE PRESID, { mend the public uttcrances of President WRoose\-c]t, which reveal his Philosophy of | life. His personal career ‘equips him for a teacher in Eu‘.any things. His father was neither poor nor rich, ! and the son was compeiled to depend very much upon In his childhood and youth he was handi- In | himself. capped by an insufficient physique, a frail body. | addition to this his disposition was shy and retiring. He dreaded the task of expressing himseli verbally, 2nd his early attempts at composition were so meager in the imaginative quality as to be the despair of his | teachers. Somewhere and some time, there came to him the | illuminating inspiration of a purpose in life and he set for himself the mark of a high calling. The weakly | | and infirm boy, by a system of hardy training, which i cast ease and softness of life to the winds, acquired a sturdy physique, and then by perseverance and ap- plication he became so strong a writer that his books make a library that is read in ‘many countries. As was to be expected, his style as a speaker is entirely his own, original, novel and forcible. His favorite theme is the household virtues, the domestic qualities which make the home the training school in all the elements in man which combine to make a national character. What he believes he be- | lieves for his own household as well as for the homes of his ccuntrymen, for consistency is his eminent characteri in war and in peace. In battle and adven- | ture he says not to others “Go” but “Come,” and leads | the way. His public and political future may not | be foreseen, but whatever it may be, he has made a distinet impression upon the life of his countrymen for its betterment. One of his recent visits to New York was in re- sponse to an invitation to participate in the celebration | of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of John | Wesl the founder of Methodism. that occasion was exceptionally strong. His speech on | As Weslcy'si | was a pioneer church that followed.our frontier west- | ward, the President described what he considered the great peaceful movement of the last century. “The | work of advancing our boundary, of pushing ‘the | frontier across forest and desert and mountain chain, was the great typical work of our nation, and the men | who did it, the frontiersmen, the pioneers, the back- | woodsmen, plainsmen, mountzinmen, formed a class by themselves. It was an iron task, which none but | men of iron soul and iron body could do. The men who carried it to a successful conclusion had char- acters strong alike for good and for evil. Their rug- ged natures made them powers who served light or darkness with fierce intensity, and together with heroic traits they had those dreadful tendencies which are apt to be found in characters of heroic possi- bilities.” Into such a community he pictured the coming and the influence of the early Methodists as a task that “could not have been accomplished by men desirous of walking in the soit places of the earth and to go easily on life’s joutney.” Declaring that “if we are to succeed as a nation, we must have the same spirit in us,” he summed his philosophy of life in this sentence, which should be read in the schools: “If we are to do as I believe we | shall do and will do, if we are to advance in broad hu- | manity, in kindliness, in the spirit of brotherhood ‘[exac:‘-y as we advance in our congffest over the hid- den forces of nature, it must be by developing strength in virtue and virtue in strength, by breed- ing and training men who shall be both good and strong, both gentle and valiant—men who scorn wrongdoing and have the courage and the strength to strive mightily for the right.” | That is the philosophy of individual and national fiife. The development of such character is the duty | of the fireside, the task of the schools, the function of the church. If, combined, they hold Americans to that ideal, we may confidently write esto perpetua | on the lintel'of the republic. | I ——— It is reported that an American syndicate has re- cently purchased a volcano in Mexico for $5,000,000, with the intention of developing it as a sulphur mine. Whether it is expected to furnish the force for run- ning the machinery is not stated, but it is liable to do so. Wtold his critics in the Reichstag that he recognized the Monroe doctrine because he had to and that he permitted the interference of the United States in the Venezuelan affair because the United States is too powerful to be ignored it was supposed in this country that the opposition would be satisfied and that we should hear no more con- demnation of the Chancellor for not treating the Monroe doctrine as a piecrust and smashing it. Political criticism, however, is beyond the reach of common sense in this country, and German' phil- osophy does not get anywhere near it. In response to the statements of the Chancellor an eminent po- litical economist, Professor Wagner of the University of Berlin, has studied the subject and reached the con- clusion that the German Governtent does not have to respect the Monroe doctrine and that the United States is not too powerful to be ignored. His opinion is that 4f Europe would stand together it would be quite possible to extend the European sphere of in- fiuence to South America and make it flourish like a green bay tree. N He is reported as saying: “Scarcely could such a doctrine be forced upon a conquered people after ex- traordinary victories. No people and no great ruler ever proclaimed such a doctrine. Neither England, nor Russia, nor Napoleon, at the height of his power, ever made a similar pretension.” The learned professor.overlooks the fact that “pre- tensions” similar to those we assert with respect to this hemisphere have been and are now asserted by every power in Europe with respect to certain terri- tories within the sphere of their influence. What power is it that keeps Russia out of Constantinople, that keeps Bulgaria out of Macedonia, that, keeps ‘France out of Morocco, that keeps Turkey out pf Greece, that keeps Germany herself out of Holland? It is not the United States that is standing in the way of such extensions, expansions and annexations. We are doing no more than guarding our own, even as Europe guards hers, The Berliner, however, goes on to expound his doctrines further. He says: “We have really no in- terest in furthering the preponderance of the:United States and England. The world’s civilization would hardly be advanced thereby. Aside from some tech- nical and business spheres, what have the United States done of importance for the real civilization of the world? What have they done that deserves to be named in the same breath with the achievements of France and Italy? Middle, Western and Southern aEuropeans, hold yourselves together ‘against the! { | A GERMANIC GROWL.

That seems to be the only right answer to the Monroe pretensions. The Ger- manic peoples should not ‘act against but with the Romanic pecples. That would serve the true inter- ests of the civilization of the world.”” We have there another exposition of the German ambition to become the leader of a united Europe. It is a worthy ambition, and if carried out by right means would tend to the peace of the world. It would seem, however, that the leaders of the move- ment hope to advance it by rousing a general Euro- pean antagonism to the United States. In order to achieve that we are denounced as aggressive bar- barians. It is unfair to us, but fortunately we are able to stand eriticism and retain serenity. President Roosevelt has given us the American policy with re- spect to the Monroe doctrine in his words of peace and gentleness, “Speak softly, but carry a big club.” i ——— For the first time in fifty years a President of | Salvador has been inaugurated without a row. Be- fore the unfortunate man finishes his official career he may have reasonm to reflect that if he had had a little more luck he would have been nothing and if he had had a little less he vsould have been killed. RETIRING STATESMEN. ITH the organization of the new Senate Wsome of the most notable figures of former years retire from that body and we shall doubtless hear of them no more in politics. Of these there are two, Senator Jones of Nevada and Senator Vest of Missouri, whosé fame will live long in the popular mind and whose names will be.recorded ih the history of the country. Two others, Senator Mc- Laurin of South Carolina and Senator Mason of should they do nothing of note hereaiter, will soon be forgotten. Of the othersswho retire none are of na- famous as the Senatorial leader of the Bryanites, and Kinley to distort his whole Senatorial” career and prompt him to commit something like political suicide. Of McLaurin and of Mason the country may hear much in the future. They are young, ambitious and have more than ordinary talent. Neither of them has been a consistent party man in the Senate. Indeed, McLaurin formally broke fronr his party and de- clined to take part in any caucus of the Democrats of the Senate. His personal quarrel with Tillman has to some extent weakened his influence, byt he is a man of no little strength and may yet form a follow- ing sufficiently strong to be of service to his State. In fact, despite the seeming preponderance of the Tillman faction in South Carolina at present, it is| quite within the limits of political probabilities that it may be overthrown in the near future by a popular revolt against the dictatorial and insulting “manner of Tillman himself. From Vest and from Jones of Nevada nothing more in the way of political activity is to be expected. They | represented different parties, but of each of them it may be said he served his party well by serving his country faithfully. Each has had a remarkable and an honorable career. Each filled a place in the Senate which will never be wholly filled by any suc- cessor however eminent or talented. Thus amid the group of comparative nobodies who retire from the Senate there go two illustri®us mén whose services will be greatly missed. They carry with them into re- tirement the best wishes of their country and the hope that they may live long to enjoy the repose they have so well earned. As a bold, bad, bloody Western town, where riot rules and the wild and woolly reign, Butte, Montana, has gone completely off the map of desperate locali- ties. An armless man held up one of the prominent gambling ‘dens of the place the other day and robbed the keeper. F culture there has just been issued a bulletin giving estimates of the value of road improve- ments, based upon investigations carried out in forty counties in Indiana. The investigations were made by Professor Latta of the University of Indiana and afford a strong argument for the extension of good roads throughout every farming community, After collecting the reports from the forty coun- ties, Professor Latta reduced them to averages and thus arrived at the conclusion that such good roads as exist in the State have increased the value of farm- ing lands adjoining to the amount of $6 48 per acre. The estimated average increase that would result from improving all fl{e highways is $9 per acre. The average cost of converting common public roads inta good highways is $1146 per mile, The average an- nual loss per 100 acres from poor roads is $76 28, Upon that showing Professor Latta says: “If these estimates are even approximately correct, they fur- nish a key to the satisfactory solution of the question of highway improvement from the money standpoint. On the basis of the last mentioned estimate the average annual loss per acre from poor roads is over 76 cents. In five years the loss would aggregate $2432 for every section of land, and this sum would con- struct two miles at a cost of $1216 per mile, which is $70 per mile above the estimated average cost given by the farmers themselves. The present road tax, which, under existing laws, is largely thrown away, would, under a proper, system of road maintenance, doubtless keep improved highways in perfect repair.” While the reports were collected in this instance from a single State, they are not without yglue to all States. In commenting upon the figures given and conclusions stated by Professor Latta, Roy Stone, special agent and engineer of the Department of Ag- riculture, says: “The information furnished in this paper is in line with that contained in circular No. 19 of this office and with the conclusions of the New York Highway Manual and the calculzt‘mns of the secretary of the Farmers" National Congress. Of these four various estimates of the value of good roads Professor Latta’s is the lowest, but it may b held to support the others, since they are based upon roads of a higher class than the Indiana gravel roads and since they go more elabéri,tely}nto details of the advantages of good roads. Even upon this estimate, however, the loss by bad roads for the whole farm area of the United States would be very close to $500,- 000,000 annually.” ? & % Our extraordinary popularity, with European na- tions seems to be degenerating into an offensive pat. ronage or an insulting criticism of our acts.

Thence he will move westward, arriving to deliver his course of lectures at Berkeley In the fall. ‘With the advent of so noted a scholar as M.

C. W. Case Deering, son of Chicago's great agricultural implement manufac- turer, and wife arrived from the Bast yesterday and registered at the Palace to await the departure of the steamer Si- beria for the Orient. Mr. Deering and his wife are en route to India, where he purposes to indulge in the exciting sport of tiger hunting. He is carrying with him almost everything necessary on such a perilous undertaking except an elephant, which, it is said, he has already contracted for on the other side. Included in his twenty odd trunks are a large collection of the best firearms mancfactured and he also has a large rumber of knives and other implements that frequently become handy to the hunter in his pursuit of big game throtigh the Indian jungles. Mr. Deering has been in the habit of making animal hunting trips and two years ago he undertook one through Col- orado, which gained for hign considerable notorlety. During his travels word reached civilization that he had been lost and the report caused great alarm among the members of his family and friends at home. It afterward developed that the story was circulated by a guide who' hoped to profit by the anxiety of Mr. Deering's relatives. The gentleman and his wife are friends of the Leiters of Chicago and this fact is expected to insure them a royal wel ceme by the Viceroy of India, Lord Cur- zon, whose wife is a daughter of Mils lionaire Leiter. —_— TUpholds Civil Service Board.

PIONEER PASSES FROM THE RANKS OF REMAINING FEW David Fay, Who Arrived Here in Golden Days, Succumbs to Heart Disease. David Fay, a ploneer, died from heart disease at his home, 839 Chestnut street, at about 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. He was born in New York in 1824 and ar; rived in San Francisco in 1849. He was a brother of the late Senator John Fay. The deceased arrived in San Francisco on the steamer Oregan, which was the second steamer {o pass through the Golden Gate. He was for a time a pilot on the Sacramento River and in 1853 branched out in the soap business, open- ing a factory at North Beach. He was interested in mining in the early days, aceumulating a snug fortune, which he let slip through his fingers in the latter part of his life through speculations. Fay was a witness to the famous duel evhen Judge Terry killed United States Sena- tor Broderick. The remains will be taken East Sun- day, where they will be Interred in the family plat in Greenwood Cemetery, New York. e Lightens Burden on Conscience.
