When Princeton beat Yale on the gory gridiron it required six columns to tell about it, but when Yale beats Princeton in & debate in which the Tigers failed to score a point, the event takes sis lines in the telling. In the struggle between mind and matter the former appearB to be hopelessly beaten.
Tnn Vest resolution, that under the constitution no power is given to the federal government to acquire territory to be held and governed permanently as colonies, is calculated to make smile the old fellows who recall scores of similar resolutions touching the federal government's lack of power to interfere with the institution of African slavery.
The British ambassador at Pars opines that the new diplomacy introduced by America may wipe tlfb diplomatists of the old school off the face of the earth. So be it for the new stands for straightforward business,albeit a bit brutal, while the cornerstone of the old is a duplicity that merely delays the game without altering the results.
No man is better authority on things congressional than Senator Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations. His opinions carry weight because of his long experience and the correctness of
hiB
judgment in the
past. He said of the session of congress that opened to-day: "In my opinion, the session will be an interesting one, and many of the debates will be of great importance." Of the prospect of legislation he said: "It can be laid down as atsafe rule that if any measure proposed is antagonized by a determined minority, it will be withdrawn. There will be great pressure in behalf of legislation for the Nicaragua canal, and if any important measure is passed, outside of the appropriation bills, it will be the canal bill. The subject has been so thoroughly threshed over that itought not to provoke much debate." Of the treaty of peace with Spain he 6aid: "It will be ratified beyond a doubt, and exactly as it comes to us from the peace commission. We cannot afford to stultify ourselves in the face of the world by refusing to accept the work of the commissioners. They have been very careful and aesarve the endorsement. of the country. I shall be in favor of prompt action, because we ought to dispose of the matter and not let it remain in a state of uncertainty. We want to settle as soon as poasible our relations to the «Philippines, and this we cannot do until the treaty is ratified."
Those who are most familiar with the commercialiand industrial situation in Cuba commend the plan of Secretary Alger in his annual report for the construction of a railway system connecting-the various cities on the coast, l.Says William E. Curtis in the Chicago Rccord: "There are now comparatively few railways on the island and they are totally inadequate to the needs of the people. The absence of transportation facilities has retarded the development of the resources, and they never can be developed untill railways are constructed. Secretary Alger'B argument that it would be better to give employment to the people by the construction of such a road than to give them food is considered the very best sort of common sense. Nearly all the planters of Cuba are now complaining that their former hands will not return to work as long as the government issues free rations, and that the longer the rations are issued the more difficult it will be to break them oft'. The managers of the mines near Santiago have "complained that three-fourths of the men who formerly worked for them are now idle inand about that city, feeding on government rations, and refuse good wages. The company has persuaded severaljhundred discharged
Spanish soldiers to enter its mines in the place of the old hands, who are thus thrown permanently out of employment and must look for work elsewhere." "The railway which Secretary Alger proposes could be completed in two or three years and paid for out of the surplus revenues of the island without the slightest difiiculy, or, as he suggests, could be sold for its cost when it had served its purpose to the government."
