Feb 12?The atti? tude of tbe Democrats in Congress, as a party towards tbe Nicaragua Canal treaty, which the adminietra tion has negotiated with England and sent to the Sonate, and the Porto Rico tariff bill, which has been re ported to the house, and will be taken up this week and jammed through as a party measure, is | thoroughly American.and consequent j ly right The treaty gives more, than it provides for our receiv ing It allows ua to build a canal with our money, provided we agree to let every nation in the world, even those we may happen to have war with,have exactly tbe same privileges we take for ourselves in using it. That isn't the old democratic idea of American control of the Canal, and it is really surprising that there is a single democratic senator who is willing to vote for the ratification of the treaty Without democratic votee. it would be bound to fail. One of the strongest arguments in favor of the construction of the canal, has been the advantage it would give us in a war with a foreign power. Uoder the present I treaty we should have no advantage, aa our enemies could make just tbe some use of the oanal I Imperialism is the real question involved in the Porto Rioan tariff bill. It makes one of the issues upon which this year's presidental campaign will be waged The re? publicans in their report on this bill, which imposes a 25 per cent duty on Porto Rican producta, have come oot fist footed la favor of ignoring the constitution, and of hav? ing congress assume the au? thority to deal with the territory recently acquired by the United States as colonies, and with their people as subjects Tbe democrats contend that tbe constitu tion is the supreme law of this repub lie, and that it recognizes neither colonies nor subjects; tbst every foot of ground belonging to tbe United States is a psrt of the United States, and every resident of territory belong ing to the| United States, a citizen. Tbe imperialiats have the votee to win in Congress, but it remains to be seen whether they can win before the people. I The democratic substitute for the republican gold standard bill is abort aod plain It was introduced by Senator Jones, of Arkansas, aod it provides for tbe opening of the minte of the United Statee to tbe coinage of silver, aa provided by tbe Aot of Jan 18th, 1887, upon tbe same terme aod subjeot to the limitations aod provisions of law regulating tbe ooinage and legal tender quality of gold ; and that when the silver ooioa aball be reoeived into the treasury, certificates shall be issued for them ae now preaoribed by law. Unfortu? nately the republicans have the votes to paaa the gold ataodard bill?

LAYING UP A COMPETENCE. Something- Tlint Practically Any Man Can Do Through Self Denial. "There are some men of genius," said Mr. Nippingly, "who accumulate great fortunes by great strokes, but by far the greater number of fortunes, Including those of moderate dimen? sions, and those form the great ma? jority of all, are made by the very sim? ple process of living within one's in? come aud investing the surplus with more or less wisdom, but always where it will be safe. "The older I grow the more amazed I am that more people don't lay up a competence for themselves, as most anybody can do, by beginning early in life to live within their income and sticking to that course faithfully. Did I do this myself? No. Am I, how? ever, having learned the wisdom of this course, now making a beginning? I am obliged to say 'No.' I am still spending all I get and laying by noth? ing. "There are some leaaOBI that we all easily acquire, but never turn to our own advantage. One of those is of the benefits that arise from the exercise of self denial. Wo get from this at once the direct benefit of what we save, aud self denial nourishes, strengthens and broadens the will and enables a man constantly to do and to earn more and more. "There's simply nothing like self de? nial. It is the key to every one of life's treasures, aud everybody has one of those golden keys in his posses? sion, eager to help him and waiting only for him to bring it in use."?New York Sun. The Sex of Ships. The word "ship" is masculine In French, Italian, Spanish and Portu? guese and possesses no sex in Teutonic and Scandinavian. Perhaps it would not be an error to trace the custom of feminizing ships back to the Greeks, who called them by feminine names, probably out of deference to Athene, goddess of the sea. But the English speaking sailor assigns no such rea? sons. The ship to him Is always a lady, even though she be a man-o'-war. She possesses a waist, collars, stays, laces, bonnets, ties, ribbons, chains, watches and dozens of other distinctly feminine attributes.?Collier's Weekly. Boen Great Pioneer?.
