Tardy Seading,
There is much grain to sow at this
date through Penns valley. Many
fields are in such condition that seed-
ing is an impossibility until after co-
pious rains have disintegrated the
ploughed soil, which in many instane-
es is exceedingly lumpy. The grain
sown the latter part of August and be-
ginning of Beptember on well prepar-
ed ground, is looking very fair, consid-
ering the drought, Much of the grain
sown later has not sprouted,

that “before the treaty was ratified
® ® * the insurgents attacked the

other things have also been forgotten.
The president may have forgotten
that he, before the treaty was ratified
(six weeks before), issued a proclama-
tion to the Filipinos asserting that the
cession of the islands was complete,
and that our military government
would be extended to “the whole” of
Philippine territory. He may have for.
gotten that this proclamation was a
groas violation of the constitution, void
both in morals and in law. He may
have forgotten that, irrespective of the
legal aspect of the proclamation, it
was drawn in such an excess of wane
tonly tyrannical language, that Gen,
Otis was alarmed, and tried to sup-
press it, fearing that its publication
would drive the Filipinos to instant in-
surrection. It was published by accl-
dent, and the insurrection followed. All
these facts Mr. McKinley may have
forgotten, but the future historian will
not forget them; neither will he for-

ruler who tried to shuffle away from
the consequences of his own inconsid-

The Election in Maine.
If the Hon. Mark Hanna can draw
any comfort from the returns of the
Maine election he is welcome to the
enjoyment of it. An unusually active
and earnest canvass had been made In
the hope of securing such a majority
as would impress the country with the
belief that the people have implicit
confidence in the McKinley administra-
tion. The most distinguished orators
of the country were brought in and the
strongest defense of the president's
course that it was possible to invent
and present was made. But the result
is not reassuring to the Republican.

That New York Partnership.
The evidences of an existing political
partnership between Mr. Croker and
Senator Platt, of New York, are strong
and numerous, The advantage to each
in such a “pooling of issues” is pal-
pable. But it is equally clear that if
there is such a political firm as Croker
& Platt there is a third partner, who,
though silent, is quite as deeply inter-
ested In the concern as either of the
others. The silent partner in the con-
cern is Governor Theodore Roosevelt,
of New York.
Some months ago it was charged that
Mr. Croker and Mr. Platt were inter
ested with the mayor of New York In
a trust to control the ice supply of the
city and extort big profits from the
sufferings of the poor. Governor Roose.
velt expreasod the most intense indig-
nation at the time and declared that
if the facts were as alleged he would
use his authority as governor to re-
move the mayor and otherwise punish
the conspirators against the health of
the people of the city. The investiga.
tion proceeded, the disgraceful facts
were revealed, but the governor has
not acted. The reason ia obvious.
Governor Roosevelt and Senator
Platt are so closely bound together in
their political relations that an expos
ure of one involves the diagrace of both,
The removal of Mayor Van Wyck will
be followed by a complete exposure of
the conspiracy to rob the public by
over charging for ice, and Platt and
Roosevelt will be as deep In the mire
as Croker and Van Wyck are in the
mud. For that reason the promise
enforce the law made by Roosevelt
three months ago fs-sudll unfulfilied,
