The "high contracting parties' (o the treaty ratified by the t'nited States Sen ale yesteiday agree that the Clayton Bulwer convention shall hereafter have no force or effect. In other words, it is superseded.

In it what was called a general principle of neutralization was established, the governments of this country and Great Britain declaring that they would never obtain or maintain any exclusive control of a canal. That provision was regarded as the diplomatic triumph of its time. In the dee) bosom of the ocean it buried many clouds, but later on it became an obstruction pure and simple, causing endless friction and deffcating every object it lmrnovted to subserve.

The attempt to prevent the confirmation of the appointment of Philander C. Knox as Attorney General has failed, as every one expected it would.

The people who made the charges against, him, and Senator who lent himself to them hy moving that action on the appointment be postponed until the accusations could bo heard, did not think the result would be different. The charges were made to be used as campaign material in 1004. Senator Jones moved the delay also for use in the next presidential campaign, and the Senate consented to delay that there might be a complete answer when the story of the case was told later. "Whether now that the incident is closed by the unanimous consent to the confirmation of the appointment, the Democratic Xatioual Committee shall use it in three years will depend upon the number of fools in that committee or on the degree to which its members think the public can be bamboozled. Mr.

Knox has been an attorney for big corporations. And. indeed, there is hardly a lawyer of distinction in the country who has not been retained by corporations. To charge that Mr. Knox has been retained at one time or another by the Standard Oil Company and by the Carnegie Steel Company is to charge that he is a capable and shrewd lawyer, up with the times and equal to any honorable demand made upon his abilities.

If this be a disqualification, he is disqualified. The anti trust league would better let the matter drop. It will find no one in either party who favors trusts which interfere with the liberties of the people, and it will find no law and can frame no law which can interfere with the business of big corporations that are not oppressing the people.

There is nothing new or strange in what the Pope has had to say about the divorce bill now considering by the Italian Chamber of Deputies. The attitude of the Catholic Church on this question is well known. It holds with great firmness to the indissolubility of the marriage bond, and regards the marriage contract as a religious and not a civil obligation. It holds that the family is the social unit and that anything which tends to destroy the family undermines society and must be condemned. This position it has held with logical consistency for centuries.

It is a historical fact that the Church of England separated from the Church of Rome on the divorce question and that the churehly sanction of divorce has been followed by manifold variations in the practice, and consequent scandal. Without going into the merits of the case at all it may be said that the position of the Pope is the only one which can be taken without getting entangled in all sorts of complications in which the relative importance of civil and ecclesiastical sanction are involved and the status of parties divorced for this, that, and the other reason is brought into disrepute. We have recently seen what, sort of a muddle the Episcopal Church has got itself into because of its deviation from the practice of the church from which it sprang. The Catholic Church escapes all this by its simple rule. Mr.

Schwab's Word of Truth. Those who expect great results from the committee of arbitration which the Civic Federation is to name will be disappointed. The thing of consequence has come before the appointment of thu committee, and that is the arrival of leading men, capitalists, laborers and moralists, at the state of mind where they think such a committee can be use ful. The significance of the conference of the Civic Federation lies in the willingness of busy men to get together to discuss the ways and means for settling disputes between labor and capital and the agreement of all of them that the dis. putes are to be avoided if possible.

The spirit of conciliation which prevailed has been the growth of years of experiment with the spirit of hostility. The meeting will not create a new spirit but will call attention to the present temper of men. Many things were said by Oscar S. Straus, Bishop Potter, Archbishop Ire land. Senator Hanna, Charles M.

Schwab and others. But Mr. Schwab got nearer to fundamentals than any of the others. Ho put his linger on the weak spot in labor organizations and in trusts and called attention to tlie principles which must underlie successful organization. It is only as the general public comes to understand these principles that the disputes between labor and capital can be avoided, and it is only as they are recognized that the attempt to do the impossible in trade will cease.

Mr. Schwab said that labor unions would never sue. ceed, as trusts had never succeeded, i which attempted to restrict the onrnnt or ittemptcd to put any restraint on tradi iu general. That is. the labor union which attempted to reduce all workmen to a dead level of mediocrity by forbidding tlie skillful man to do ids best and by insisting that the stupid and inefficient man should be paid the same wage that the capable man received was work, ing in opposition to natural economic laws which were as immutable as the law of gravity.

Mr. Schwab wanted labor unions so organized that the individual could work out his own salvation, so that there might he free competition among the individuals, that the best might, come to the front through the survival of the fittest. He said further, that the great trusts which had been formed to control the output of any commodity had all failed and would all fail. The trust which would succeed was the one for which there was a reason in sound economy. If by combination the cost of pro duction could be reduced and the supply could be kept somewhere near to the demand much that is wasted by independent operation would be saved, and the combination would continue successful so long as it: was managed, not for the purpose of restricting production to keep up prices and not for manipulating the market in any way.

but. simply because business could be done more cheaply by it. It does not need to be said that labor trusts and capital trusts have been formed without regard to these simple principles. The ignorance and the cupidity of the organizers have led them to attempt, the impossible. Greed foi power and ignorance of the things in which power consists have made capital ists and laborers attempt to get a forcible monopoly of the market, instead of a monopoly uaseu on merit.

They havt thought they could seize the reins in their puuy lists ana witn oaths and lashinss I any achievement, however brilliant, placed to the credit of any state dopart I ment.

The Senate's vote was an honor to the Senate and congratulations for both countries are in order.

More Appointments. In addition to the appointments announced by Mayor elect Low and commented on by the Eagle. Monday, the following are also published to day: Street Cleaning Commissioner, Dr. John McGaw 'Woodbury. Independent Democrat, Manhattan; Charities Commissioner, Homer Folks, Republican, Manhattan; Health Commissioner.

Dr. Ernst J. Led erle. Republican, Manhattan. With each appointment Mr.

Low has given a memorandum telling who the man is and what his qualifications are. Th. se have been informing and reassuring. Those who read them in our news columns will see that the standard of qualifications has been maintained in every ease, ar.rt that the men have the promise of especial fitness for the functions for which they are proposed. In the case of the Health Board not only has Dr.

Lederle been appointed Commissioner the doctorate in his case minms engineer and not one medicine but the medical side of the board will be represented by Dr. Hermann Biggs, the bacteriologist of the department. The association of Dr. Lederle and Dr. Biggs should secure a union of executive and scientific knowl oclge and efficiency which should restore tltis department to the rank it held when Dr.

Chandler and others were connected with it. In the same spirit the choice of Dr. Woodbury for Street Cleaning Commis siono.r will be strengthened by the choice of a vigorous layman for the direct street cleaning business of the bureau. Dr. Woodbury, ap army surgeon of many qtsallticat'ons.

and of administrative and knowledge and experience, will attend to the largest; duties of that di vision of the government. The Charities Commissioner, Homer Folks, has long been secretary of the Xew York State Charities Aid Associa tion. His appointment was requested by all the institutions of religion and benev olence of all denominations engaged in relief or reformatory work, and he has selected as bis first deputy E. Dougherty of Manhattan, and as his second. Charles 12.

Teale of Brooklyn. The first is well spoken of in Manhattan, and OV TiV! In it vl rr. t.n as here, is well known as a man who throws his whole self into any duties which he undertakes, bringing to them intelligence, sympathy, judgment, honor and unremitting industry. These appointments, witli others not yet settled, but the indications of which are set forth in our news columns, show the high sense of care and honor vi hM. Postmaster Roberts.

The nomination of George H. Roberts to be Postmaster of Brooklyn was sent to the Senate. Monday, by President Roosevelt. The selection was expected by the public, for reasons which the news and editorial columns of this paper have already sufficiently set forth. The Eagle believes that Mr.

Roberts wilt an effective Postmaster, and that the fact that his appointment has been indorsed by strong business houses proved to be at least as acceptable to tlie President as the suggestion of his name by bis patty organization here His continuation at an early day should be expected. Mr. Roberts is a man of standing in business and church circles. mail of experience in large affairs, a man of knowledge of public measures and public men, a man who has been honorably active in clean politics, and a man who should learn from the educational tut ure of the campaign for him and against him the high requirements which tlie President will expect a Postmaster of Brooklyn to meet. The New Chairman.

It will be ratified ucoim uuuiil o.v uie delegates to nigin. i Mr. Bainbrirlge was a supporter of ncui j.oh, ho unini', out no lias also been numbered among the adherents to the endeavor lo make William Bryan President of 1 lie t'nited States.

He is the chairman of the Manufacturers Association of Brooklyn, a member of the Kclorni lub in Manhattan, and was a member of the late Civic Club here, and of the Iicmocriitic Club of this borough. Early in tile recent campaign he was a member of. the t'nlon and a strong advocate of Mr. Low for the mayoralty nomination. But.

when Mr. Shen anl was nominated by Tammany Hal! and Willonghby street, he came out in Local Prison Reform. The new.broonis that will presently be at work cleaning out old abuses and. use less politicians, and. removing from un der the nostrils of the public unappetizing accumulations of neglect and misrule, will find use in all departments, but probably in none are they so needed as in the correctional institutions of this city.

The management of our penal cot onies has been radically wrong, and with a really first class man at the head of them they may be made radically right. They have till now been regarded as a part of the political spoils. They were to be superintended by men who, till they assumed office, had been bartenders, or clerks, or mechanics who were always too busy with politics to work men who, irr their elected callings might be well enough, but were totally ignorant of the needs and responsibilities, of their new places. The care of prison ers is one that requires the same thought the same strength of character, almost the same mental attributes as the care of collegians. The old idea was that prisoners were as so many cattle, to treated without regard to their ante cedents or possibilities, and in such a manner as to yield the largest pecuniary returns to bosses, contractors and other fundaments of the party.

The new Idea is that prisoners have minds and souls as well as bodies, and that it is not merely to the gain of the prisoners but to society if they can be won from evil ways and restored to places of usefulness. To that end one of the first things to be done is to surround them with teachers and keepers who shall be inflexible in discipline, but sympathetic and discriminating in their relations to their chnrges. What respect can the prisoner have for society when he finds that society has put him in the keeping of a drunken bummer who ought to change places with him, and who would not be worth his salt in any position requiring thought or skill? How is the prisoner moved to reform when he sees that the men who bully him and receive public money for doing it are creatures who fawn on the bosses and take it out on the helpless, yet are chosen to administer offices that yield liberal incomes and carry possibilities of dishonest gains? It is a disgrace that men, even suspected of complicity in the policy, business and other forms of gambling, should be carried on the payrolls of this city, especially as keepers of a prison. And it is unpleasant that when an attempt is made to eject a warden tnt appeal for support should be Pade to tn ex bookmaker. 'Die time has come for a complete overturning in prison methods.

We want a. unified system, and we want a system that will lift prisons out of politics as completely as the schools are lifted. The man to put in charge of a penal or correctional institution is not the low browed associate of law breakers, the man of low ideals and vulgar life, but the pure, high minded man, tlie strong and understanding man. the man of education, the man of fairness, tlie man who can be trusted not to he kind to the rascal with a political backing and cruel to the weak and unprotected, the man who will ad ministw his trust with complete fidelity to tue state and to his best self, who will spend every cent of the public money for the purpose to which it should he put, and who will use his office to reform his charges, rather than to enjoy emolument and ease. Such wardens there are.

In this part of this state we do not often see them, more's the pity, but he world knows them and when we overcome the contemptible notion that spoil, instead of public service, is the be all and end all of politics, we shall see honesty and efficiency where now are baseness and corruption. Our Beggars. The streets arc profitable places for the beggars, in these days. They know that people have money and tire freely spending it, and they take advantage of the Christmas spirit and the charitable (lis position of the people. It seems a hard thing to say, that these people are ah unworthy of help, but it is the truth.

They who are in need know where to to secure relief. The mendicants who appear on the street, some of them web dressed and tolling fluent tales of hard are professional frauds. If they are really suffering, as they say they are, we have wood yards and the like where they can earn not only food and lodging, but can be put iir the way or obtaining clothes and regular employment. Times are good, and there is a demand for workers all over the country. These beggars will not work.

WILLIAM WISE SON, eas oeen mane to the provision, conceding to this country the right to "maintain such military police along the canal as shall ho neee sary to protect it. against lawlessness and disorder." It is easy enough to anticipate discussion of that clause. The lire eater of the future will call an open door, lie will say that the treaty does not limit, the number of soldiers who are policemen or of policemen who are soldiers. He will say that war is disorder, which is true enough, and that this country is pt liberty to house its policemen in bristling form sscs. in short, bis contention will be that tne canal and the leased in perpetuity to all intents and purposes will belong the I'nited States in fee simple that the waterway will l.o ours to do with it as We please under any am! all circumstances.

In that time, however, ho will be where the opponents of ratification yesterday. a small minority.

Meanwhile, it is well enough have it understood that the breathed through the whole document is peaceful, that aggression of any' and every sort, is discountenanced, that continued neutrality is not only to be a matter of principle, but practice; jn short, that the whole enterprise is to he com mercial.
