The Latin laco takob itself too seriously. Tightening tlio Lines. Tho Demociats in tho senate are willing to pass a bill extending tho pie-pent term of enlistment of the 62,000 legulur soldiers until next December so as to avert a special session, but they declare that they will not pass ths Hull bill giving the president power to iii(iea.o tho legular army to 100,000 men. In this attlti'do of leslstance the Demoeiuts lire aided by four reaoMdo Republicans who have gon to seed on the expansion isoiio Messrs. Hoar, Hale, Mahon and 1'ciMns. The Dem ociats aio phiving u .mall game of rnity polltlis and the four Republican lecalcItrantH ate the victims of a fear that 100.000 regular soldiers would at tack the capltnl and rnertlnovv the te publlc. It is cuiiontly leported that the president has notilled leprosentatlvc s-enatoia of lito intention to call an extra cession If the Hull bill is not patsed We tiust that this report Is truo and that the pi evident willaccept no compiomlso measuie Instead.

Now that tho attempt to pass the Nicaragua canal bill by a paillnnicn taiy artifice has failed, lot It, fi lends in tho national house of representa tives, constituting, us eveiy one be lieves, a decisive majority, lally in tho open and demand tho consideration which Is their right. They luivo only to put on paper enough names to con vlnee the speaker and the committee on jules that they are a majority to obtain a special order bringing the bill befoio the house, to Btand or full on Its own merits. They owe It to the country, to the administration and to themselves to do this without dolay. Postponement of this subject to the next congress might not bo fatal to the canal pioject It is too strongly grounded In national and international necessity for that but It would ob viously be unfortunate. Under tho host of clicuuiBtatices, if begun with out needless delay, the canul cannot be completed and in tendlnea for use within a period of years, ptobubly nvo or six at the least. Meanwhile tho commerce of the nation is inconven ienced, our military and naval Inter ests are handicapped and in tho lm- probable hut not impossible contin gency of another vvnr wo should be placed In the same nvvkwnrd nltuu tlon which occurred when It became necessary to send tho Oregon on Her memorable Joumoy around the Horn. Tho present congress hn made an enviable record for Itself, hut It should not udjourn without ilearlnn up the business which It began. Tho conse quencta of tho war which It oidered and which the countiy's soldlets and sailors prosecuted to such a swiftly vlctoiioiw conclusion augment greatly tho necessity for a speedy completion of this stiateglcally essential trans Isthmian waterway and with tho coun tiy almott n unit In demanding legis lation for Its construction, cougicss will he wan anted In going to sonio Double to cany the matter to a de cision. Citizens who like tho kind of city government Hcranton has had during the last three years will not be ex pected to vote the Republican ticket, citizens who think that crime should be punished, that ordinances should not stand between fi lends, that, in slioit, any old kind of municipal ad ministration is good enough for Scran ton should not identify themselves with the Republican cause, because they ate not nt homo there and their co-operation Is not dcsltcd.

Willie the public men of Great Ilrlt aln me displaying toward tho United State a brondmlnded cordiality which lb ns prudent and politic as It Is pleas ant, the attitude of Canadian olllcial- dom continues to bo shoit-sightedly nanow and unfali This is shown, umong other ways, in the absurd stand taken by the Canadian members of tlio joint high commission which la seeking to compose in an omnibus treaty tho various dlffeiences of long standing be tween the United States and the domin ion. This commission, It Is reputably reported, was in a fair way to come to a workuble basis of agreement when the Canadians intciposed a demand for the jipttlenient of tho Alaskan bound ary dispute in a manner which Ameri cans must legard as utteily preposter ous, and now there is a likelihood that all nesotiatlons will be called off. Tlio piesunt boundary between Alaska and lit Itlsli Columbia wab established in 1S2." by convention between Russia nnd England, and was leafllimed with out protest from Canada in the tians fer of Alaska by Russia in 1SC7 to the United States. From 1S07 up to the date of tho dlscovciv of gold in the Klondike legion it was never ques tioned by Cnnnda nnd tho territoiy now claimed by Canada was entered upon by Amei leans and upon it U lages and towns weie founded. Tho area embraced In Canada'H newly Hedged claim includes the piescnt towns of Skagunv and Dyea, and the Lynn canal, which control tho Yukon region, and if the Canadlnn claim weie admitted the United States would lose the gateway to the most valuable part of the whole Alaskan region. Our com mlssloneis have offered, not as a recog nition of the legality of the Canadian ctatm, but as an evidence of good will, to guarantee that Canadians shall line perpetual fieedom of navigation of the waters embraced within tho disputed territoiy and the bame trade facilities as the United States, but the Canadian commissions s declaie that they will not be content with this and that if we don't consent to an aibltration of claims they w 111 pack their valises and go home. Failure of the piesent negotiations would of couise be jegiettable, Inas much as it would mean the Indefinite continuance of n number of bouices of petty iultntlon an 1 annovance. At this time, when the general lelatlons between the I'llterent branches of the Rnpllch-speaklng r.ico nre uncommonly hiumonlous nnj when good will is the watchwoid of the hour It would not bo a iilio spectacle to witness an ubiupt breaking off of negotiations between two countiiei so peculiarly situated with lespect to each other us arc Can ada and the United States, r.ut there Is a limit to Amei lean patience in mat ters of this kind. Wo havo been for u good many jeais txceedlngly toleiant of the Canadian predilection foi the lole of the spoiled child and have Htood kirks and cuffs and halr-nulllnzs In a splilt of fiatemal foibcuianco In tho vague hope that somo day Canada would outciovv theso juvenile peivns itlcs and develop into a neighbor w oi thy of our filcndshlp and our tetjicit. If wo must bo disappointed In this expec tation It will be news learned in sorrow but It will not cause Uncle Sain to taka down hu shingle nnd go out of busi ness. Tho creat uffaiis of this nation will not be seiloii3ly dlsconcrtod even If Canada doet not succeeM In getting a treaty of reciprocity v 1th us on tha principle of capturing sixteen favors to one gi anted in return. Tho testimony In the Adams poison ing Inquest In New York Is somewhat puzzling to tho outsider, but enough has appeared In the published repoits to indicate that Sodom and Oomorrah are outdono In certain circles of Great er New York, and that material for a novel as beastly In sentiment and mor als as "Quo Vadis" could be gathered dally In tho mettopolla of this Chris tlan land, Expansion as a Party Issue. In the division of public opinion which haB arisen witu respect to what this nation should do with the territory nnd problems put within Its Jurisdic tion by the war with Spain it Is notice able that a majority of tho antl-ex-pansionlst are old men while most of the leaders of tho movement for expan sion aie on tha sunny side of mlddlo age. This Is a phenomenon which re flects the opeiatlons of a law of na ture. Young blood Is provorblally von turenome, while old blood Is cautious, timid, and prone to overestimate diffi culties and hazards. Hlfltory In all ages Indicates tho workings of this natural differentiation of tho human race and progiess Is a resultunt of the radical and conserva tive forces operating one as a check upon the other. Conservatism Is gen erally most flimly grounded In older civilizations; hence It Is not n mat ter of surpilso that tho nntl-cxpanfllon Ecullment Is strongest In New Hnglnnd and the boutheastern stntns and weak tst In the middle and western states, 'Cut Inasmuch us tho burdens of gov ernment In tho United States taken ns a whole aio carried chlellj' by men under CO joars of ago It seems fair to conclude that the expansion Idea will In the long i tin win at the polls and become a peimanent fentuie of Ameri can policy. It 13 not. however, to bo a onc-slded battle. Many factors not now foreseen will enter into tho future political dis cussion of this great problem and the necessity for keeping American Hoops In the Philippines will online among friends and relatives of our soldiers of occupation a feeling of uneasiness upon which opponents of expansion may work with varvlng degrees of success. If in these far eastern Islands theie should be prolonged lighting It Is easy to look forward to a time when public opinion will become restless nnd the policy of the government will bo sub ject to political fluctuation nnd inter i option. Yet when wo reflect upon tho providential nature of the events which in sequence have carried us Into this new policy nnd perceive that influ ences beyond human control have guided this advance of Amoilcan duty nnd opportunity It is not unreasonable to conclude that wo shall not wholly escape our destiny, whether it shall unfold Itself in a permanent colonial fijbtem or In a protectorate which es tablishes local self-rule under Ameri can contiol of foreign relations. Tim nttltude of the Agruiians should not bo taken too seriously on this side of the water. Tho bluster of the Agrarians Illustrates in Geimany what can often be accomplished in the way of temporary agitation by the howl of a talkative minority. Wo hav. such irinoiltlC3 ourselves. Wo wonder If the people of Illinois aie entirely satisfied with the course of their Junior senator? Government bondholders will perhaps some timo celebrate Mr. Cleveland's blithday.

"What light have strong nitlons to appropriate the lands of aborlslnal peo ples?"
