K1 Thus the State concerned is made n partyI T to the proceedings, and the decision of

J' Practically, therefore, and perhaps strictS ly and technically, the wonderful Olney- -fe-- Pauncefote treaty erects an extra-judici-

ry and foreign tribunal, with jurisdiction overfi the rights and Interests ot the Individualj States of this Union; a jurisdiction which

'1, f-- The Proposed. Arbitration Treaty.,; it Several questions suggest themselves In?' k connection with the general arbitrationf 3. treaty, which, although signed by Mr. OLXET

l and Sir Julian Pauxcetote, Is as yet, ofj it course, merely inchoate. These questions

r will hare to be answered to the satisfaction;, t of the Senate and the country before the

? treaty Is confirmed. Meanwhile, amplei time undoubtedly will be afforded for their

x thorough consideration. 't In the first place, one Is prompted to In- -

J' p quire why a treaty binding us to refer tojl V arbitration all controversies that may ariseft hereafter between the United States and

fc Great Britain should be concluded at thisf particular time 1 There Is now no subject

J f of dispute between the two countries requlr--& J: Ing an immediate settlement, as was the

; case In the matter of the Aiaonma claims,f I or In the difference regarding the seal fish- -V t ery in the Behrlng Sea. On neither of those? j,,

' occasions did we deem It needful or expe--

r r dlent to commit ourselves to a generalf K arbitration agreement; we were then of thej1 ' opinion that sufficient unto the day Is the

'''. disposal thereof, and that a specific agree- -if.' ment to arbitrate ad hoo would answer

our immediate purpose. How does It hap-pen, then, that our State Department shouldjust now endeavor to fasten upon us a gen-

eral arbitration agreement In the absence otany pressing necessity 1 Can It be possiblethat our offer to submit to arbitration allour own future disputes with Great Britainwas of the nature ot a bribe, tendered by Mr.OUTET to induce Lord Salub CRT to arbitrateEngland's controversy with Venezuela t Itao, the vaunted settlement of the Venezuelaquestion, far from being a triumph otAmerican diplomacy, Is a gross piece ot de-

ception practised upon the people ot theI United States.Touching this point. It should be remem-

bered that Lord Saxububt was personallyresponsible for the persistence of the boun-dary quarrel between British Guiana andVenezuela. In May, 1886, Lord Gbajt-TlLL- E

had pledged himself to allow the titleto the whole ot the territory in dispute tobe determined by arbitration; but Lord

axububv, on his accession to power,

"II -

although ha declared la tha House otXorda that he would carry out his prede-cessor's agreements, broke the compactwith Venezuela, for the reason, appar-ently, that the existence ot rich gold de-

posit in the debatable land had beenmade known to the British Foreign Office.If, then, he had adhered to the refusal em-

bodied In his well-know- n despatch to Mr.OL.XET, the refusal to refer to arbitrationany of the territory east of the Schombnrgkline, the "hols responsibility for the war,which then would have been inevitable,would have rested on the shoulders of LordSaxisburt. By such a contest Englandundoubtedly would hare lost British NorthAmerica, and the statesman chargeable withsuch a sacrifice would have been pilloried inBritish history bjr the side ot Lord North.On the other hand, how could Lord SAX.IS-BCr.- T

retreat completely from the groundtaken In the despatch referred to withoutlosing the respect of his own followers, whowould say either that the ground was orig-inally taken without due deliberation, orthat his complete retreat from It was aproof of pusillanimity. He seemed, there-fore, to be caught In n vise between two al-

ternatives, neither of which could be em-

braced with safety or honor.Is It not evident that Mr. OLXET, by offer-

ing or accepting an agreement to couplewith the Venezuela treaty a general arbi-tration treaty between the United Statesand England, furnished Lord Salubcrt agolden bridge across the yawning abysswhich threatened to engulf his reputation tWill not an examination of the dates andtenor of the official despatches show thatup to the time when Mr. 0L5ET evinceda disposition to sign a general arbitra-tion treaty between the United States andEngland, there was no indication ot awillingness on Lord SALISBURY'S part toswallow his previous words, and assent toa rightful and decent arrangement with aweak South American republic f We te

that a careful review of the officialcorrespondence, and of alt the circumstancesantecedent and Incident thereto, will con-

vince the Senate and the American peoplethat Mr. Oiaf.Ts promlae to sign a gen-

eral arbitration treaty between the UnitedStates and England was nothing morenor less than a bribe, and that, with-out the bribe, Iord SALI8BURT neverwould have consented to sign the spe-

cific arbitration treaty with Venezuela.Now, who authorized Mr. Olset or hismaster, Mr. CLEVELAND, to bribe the BritishGoernment to perform an act of justice?When a deputation from the House ot Com-

mons came to Washington in the winter of1R01H5 to adtocate a general arbitrationagreement between the United States andEngland, they were laughed out ot court byour House of Representatives. When, onDec. 17. 1805, Mr. Clf.vf.LAXI sent to Con-

gress his Venezuela message, there wasnot a word In that document about purchas-ing England'sconsent to recognize the rightsof a South American republic by an agree-ment to refer all our own controversies withGreat Britain to a tribunal wherein, in allImportant matters, a European should havethe casting vote. Had Mr. CLEVELAND'Smessage even hinted at such an extraordi-nary proposal, It would liave met with avery different reception from both housesof Congress. The I'nltcd States are not inthe business of bribing other nations to dotheir duty. What Mr. Clevehsd said,and what Congress and the country re-

peated with wonderful unanimity and em-

phasis, was that it upon due inquiry Ven-ezuela seemed to us to have a primafacte claim to the disputed terri-tory, England either must allow the title tothat territory to be determined by arbitra-tors or she muxt face a war with the UnitedStates. When tho President submitted hisVenezuela message he practically askedCongress for instructions, nnd he got them.The purport of those instructions is writtenlarge and plain in tho resolutions pa.edand In the debates thereon. In those reso-

lutions and debates there Is not a syllableto warrant Messrs. Cl.KVF.LAKt and OlvktIn suborning the assent of England to anact of common decency.

What, now, aro the dimensions ot thebribe with which Mr. OLXEV undertook tomake a back-dow- n easy for Lord SALIS-

BURY? The dimensions do not explicitlyappear upon the face ot the treaty, but wemay be certain that the Senate and thecountry will want to know precisely whatthey are before they consent to a confirma-tion ot the agreement. Does tho treatybind us to refer the boundary ot Alaska,and the ownership of an extensive g

region, to a tribunal whereon aEuropean would have the casting vote 1

Does the treaty bind us to submit tosuch a tribunal the Monroe doctrine,or, in other words, our determination todefend every Latin - American republicagainst territorial dismemberment at thehands of any European monarchy ? Wouldit bind us, upon the pica that the Clayton-Bulws- r

treaty is still valid, to allow sucha tribunal to determine whether we have aright to construct and control a Nicaraguacanal ? Does it bind us to let such atribunal rettle the fisheries question,which still remains open between our-selves and the Dominion of Canada?Does it bind us to let n board otarbitrators, constituted with a Europeanmajority, say whether or not we might wel-

come with open arms some or all of theCanadian provinces, should these at somefuture day desire to become members ot theUnion ? How far, in a word, havi Messrs.Cleveland and Olxet been willing tomortgage our present vital Interests andour splendid possibilities in order that theymight hare the selfish satisfaction of finish-ing the Venezuelan business with a sem-

blance of success ?

These are questions which every patriotic:and American will expect tohear answered adequately; and in its owninterest the Senate will do well to discussmatters of such moment In open session.

Drooklyn's Political Importance.Brooklyn and Kings county, the political

boundaries of which are now identical, gavea Republican majority of 10,000 in 1804, aDemocratic majority of 7,000 in 1 80S, anda Republican majority on Governor ot

.1,000 in 1800. This year, in addition toparticipation in the election of a Mayor andComptroller for the Greater New York,Brooklyn will vote for a Sheriff to succeedWilliam J Bcm.iso, for a Register tosucceed Granville W. Haruax, and for aCounty Clerk to succeed Jacob Worth, ap-pointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy.Sundry local offices, provided for under theproposed Greater New York charter, arealso to be filled.

From present appearances Brooklyn willhave an Important, It not decisive, InfluenceIn the elections in the consolidated towns.The voting population of Kings has beengrowing rapidly of late years, and it isgreater proportionately to the total popula-tion than is that of New York, probablybecause of the smaller relative numbers otaliens and of transient Inhabitants. In,

r

taaBranktBatfeJeetJosa ot test ymcotaBrooklyn, when Mr. CHlror was chosenMayor by a plurality of lesa than 000 votes,the total vote ot that dry was 1 18.447, andthe country towns, which then participatedIn the election of the county officers, butnot ot the municipal officers, and sincehave been annexed to Brooklyn as wards.cast collectively 8,603 votes, bringing upthe total of Kings county to 122.000, thetotal rote of New York city at the sameelection being 210,000. At the recent elec-

tion the total rote of Brooklyn, or Kingscounty, was 104,000, and that of New Yorkcounty 803,000, showing an increase In tenyears ot 72,000 In Brooklyn, and 02,000 InNew York. Proportionately, of course, theIncrease in the voting population of Brook-lyn has bean much more rapid than In NewYork, and the returns of recent electionswould seem to indicate that the Independentrote, which is not clearly or firmly attachedto either political party, is relatively largerin Brooklyn than in New York.

Brooklyn will hare an Important shareIn this year's municipal contest, and thepolitical leaders of both parties have alreadybrgun their preparations.

The Good Name of Congreea.

The Hon. WlLLIAy L. Wilson, who, aathe leader of the House of Representatives,chosen in 1 802 to perform the prom lsea of theCLEVELAND canvass, has been a choice sub-ject ot Mugwump flattery, has at last turnedon his friends with deprecation of theirpersistent abuse of all publlo men excepttheir own idols. He spoke a good wordfor Congress, at Albany on Tuesday, beforethe New York Bar Association. "It willnot do," said Mr. Wilson, " for us to cen-

sure too rashly those we have chosen toact for us In the two branchea of Congress."

So far Mr. Wilson nerved himself to saythe right thing, notwithstanding that atthe moment the Mugwumps were in fullbowl at everything political in this country,except, as usual, themselves and theirs. Itwas highly creditable for the speaker, who,for a few months at least, sits snugin a Cabinet place, to defend the nationallegislature against tha assaults of hisfanatical friends, but he thereby revealed bisglaring failure to meet the situation withentire frankness, and to explain the par-ticular cause for Congress's discredit, withwhich he was personslly connected. TheHouse ot Representatives, In which Mr.Wilsot was the leader of th Demo-cratic majority and the lieutenant otPresident CLEVELAND, was pledged to theprinciple of a tariff for revenue only, but thefirst move under that promise was the intro-duction of a tariff bill steeled in protection,and unblushlngly defended as such by Chair-man Wilson's own voice. Such was theanswer of the two most eminent Mugwumpstatesmen to the Democratio party's sol-em- u

promise, and the great force ofthe Administration was next applied todrive this same tariff bill through Congress.On the top ot that President CLETEI.sXDturned down all records of politicaltreachery Into oblivion by proposing thePopulist plank for an income tax, andthat, too, became a part of tb,e Demo-cratic programme. The Wilson bill madethe Fifty-thir- d Congress dishonest and dis-graced, and much ot the toleration withwhich the public has endured the Mug-wump tirades Is due to that lamentableresult.

"It there is blame or weakness any-where," continued Mr. Wilson. " It Is withthose who elect rather than with those whoare elected." Mr. Wilson here slanderedthe people of the United States by way otscreening his own followers. It was theelect, not the electors, who did the deedot shame in his case, and to the Con-

gress of to-da- which U suffering in Itsrepnte for the sins of Its predecessor, Mr.Wilson owes the reparation of a full andformal confession ot the unparalleled dis-

honesty In legislation for which he and Mr.Cleveland were directly responsible. Con-

fession of the guilty is the final stage ofvindication of the innocent.

Tho Janitor of the Peninsulas.The two xnany-antlere- stags, persuasive-

ly rampant, which hold up the sigillum ofthe State ot Michigan, are especially sig-

nificant this year. They are the symbols oftho Hon Potato Pinrree, the double roseot politics, the Mayor of Detroit and theGovernor of Michigan. " Tiirhor," " I willtake care of things," is the label. They In-

clude other observations pertinent to thepresent state ot stags and men in t be Pin-ore- e

reserres. They make. In Latin, alanguage unworthy ot the greatest ofGovernors and printed In more thandoubtful type, remarks which seem to sayIn the vulgar tongue t "If you're piningfor a nice little peninsula jxrnlruulamomocnam " won't you please to giveMichigan the eye ?" (circtifiwrplce-)- . On theoutside of a message sent by a practicalstatesman like Governor the Hon. PotatoPlSOREE, this motto seems to lie too poeti-cal. But the first page ot his messageshows that ho combines business withpoetry. " It remains within your power,"he tells the legislators at Lansing, " tomake the coming session of the Legislatureon Ideal one." This ideality is to be at-

tained "by the enactment ot a few lawswhich will meet the approval of all patri-otic citizens of this State and the com-mendation of every true member ot ourgreat republic"

How to secure this Ideal? Read the mes-sage. The non. PotATq.PiNOREE,whose com-manding position in the peninsulas whichhe clrcumspices is due entirely to his ownmerit, without help from any machine what-ever, except one or two, frankly recommendstho abolition ot party conventions. "Thaconvention," he remarks with just indigna-tion, "has become the medium of trickery,bribery, and fraud. The higher criminal Ishere developed." The Governor's modestyprevents him from saying that a good mancan get the better ot this medium ot trick-ery, bribery, and fraud. Last year he him-self showed the way to bring trickery, brib-ery, and fraud to shame, and to prevent thedevelopment ot the higher criminal. Hav-ing succeeded, after several efforts, inbeing nominated by the Michigan Republi-can State Convention for Governor, on thegold platform, he kindly allowed gold andsilver people to vote for him, and, after thecruel war was over, announced with charac-teristic boldness that he was still a silverman. We differ with regret from an originalstatesman like the Hon. Potato Pincuee,but is It necessary to abolish party conven-tions so long as a man can use the partymachinery to get a nomination on thestrength of the belief that he is for white,and, after he is elected, conveniently showthat he is for black ? Mr. Plnoreb Is analtruist, and perhaps he is justified in Im-

agining that political conventions will not beas good to others as they have been to him;but the Michigan Legislature has too muchtrust In htm to trust bis observations aboutthe iniquity of political conventions.

What does a renowned ecoaotaUt like the

Hob. Potato Pnrssxx think about taxa-tion? "I reconimscJ," he Bays, 4thatsteps be takes. In tha form ot local or gen-

eral taxation, to make cut potations beartheir proper share ot taxation." These arethe words ot a great political economist. Itis a matter ot common observation thatcorporations pny too meagre taxes, and un-

incorporated boot and shoe manufactories,for instance, excessive taxes.

No great economist thinks long withoutthinking about railroads. Consequentlythe Hon. Potato Ptnorek recommendsthat " the Legislature take into considera-tion the question of passenger fares, at twocents a mile, for Michigan." It Is an im-

portant subject, and doubtless a wise rec-

ommendation. But the greatest good ofthe greatest number ought to be considered.More Michigan people wear boots and shoesthan can possibly reach the Michigan rail-roads. Ought not the price ot boots andshoes to be fixed by the Legislature at aminimum rate of a dollar a pair ?

"There is growing up In this country asystem ot trusts and combinations which isbecoming more and more impudent andextortionate." This has been said before,but has not been entirely believed untilnow. The Hon. Potato Pixcree says It,and It sinks deeply into a million minds.Perhaps the full iniquity of trusts was notevident until he took the trouble to remarkthat by trusts the " consuming power ofthe people is destroyed-- " But have they notstill his messages to consume ? It is he whopoints out that " the employment of chil-dren in many lines of work" is "anotherot the results of the concentration of cap-

ital In trusts and monopolies." This is anovel view, but " the greed and avarice ofthose who thirst for wealth and power is sogreat that the weak and the helpless areforgotten, and those who have felt interestedenough in the uplifting ot their fellow be-

ings to consider these questions seriouslymust unite In combating the evils" towhich the Governor has referred.

Among these evils is the baneful Influenceof public corporations upon the independ-ence ot the voter. Governor Pinoree ad-

vises the Legislature to pass a law whichwill fix a penalty severe enongh to deter thesecorporations from "exerting undue influ-ence in elections." But who can tell whatevil deed a corporation will do. " Incorpo-rated bodies," says the Governor, "walkInto the capital ot the State and almostopenly pay for the privilege of escaping tax-ation." Their insolence must be bridled.For instance, telephone rates should be fixedby the local authorities in every town, andthe right to regulate fares on street railwaysshould be reserved. But this is not all, asGovernor Pixgree well says:

-- Permit me to irtre another Ulnstratlom. The amoistactually tareeiedln a plant is o&e raUlloa dollars.After tha rod Is completed tt la ssortgaged andboodad for two million. This could only ba dose byexecuUng a mortgage upon tha license Itself. Inother words, tba three men who formed tha companyand their aseoela tea adeaaeed rallHoa dollars andImmMlatelj thereafter placed a mortgage upon thaIndustry and earnings of every Inhabitant of tha cityfor thirty years to eocne to tha amount of two

Is It not straaao that lathe prreenoeof this Insidious but constant procaas ofeoocentraUoa. learned financiers, wlee statesmen, andprofound political scholars wonder why tha few be-

come rich and tha many become poor r-- In order to preheat such accumulations a law

should be pased which will prevent the execution ofa mortgage upon tha license.

Surely this is a simple way of preventingthe many from becoming poor, and learnedfinanciers, wise statesmen, and profoundpolitical economists from wasting on won-der what is meant for mankind.

The Hon. Potato Pinorke' views of edu-

cation are worthy ot his enlightened mind.He wishes well to the University of Michlgan. He desires that Its teachers shall bofoes of monopoly and emitters of improvingthought: t

"Its teachers should ba equal to any In the worldand they should ba men of Independent thought, readyand willing to meat all great questions ot moderncivilisation and adrancement with an Intelligent andenlightened public eptriL They should be qualified toaid In the preparation of wise measures of Oorem-me-

and be wtuiag at all tlmea to glee counsel uponpolitical, social and economic questions. They shouldbe sohlghly respected and ao well compensated that IIwould not ba profitable, aa soon as they become effldent, to ba asllad away to giro Instroctloo to somagreat Institution! which bare been endowed bymonopolists, who have acquired lens of millions ofdollars at tha expessa of tens of thousands of theirfellow men.

This seems to be a decent but none theless powerful attack upon the Chicago Uni-versity. Monopolists who have acquiredmillions ot dollars at the expense ot theirfellow men may continue to give money tothat institution, but the Hon. Potato Pin-gre- e

warns them away from Ann Arbor.His views are always Interesting, and hisnotions of education are doubly valuablebecause he shows the needot It In thesegolden sentences :

"While It may not ba possible to greaUy extendyour support.

"Accurate and detailed reports of the exact condi-tion ot tha corporation and tha value ot Its assetsshould ba made at stated periods, and tha etatementemade by them to that behalf should be carefully ex-

amined."" Oreat care should ba used In praranUag corporate

bodies from coming Intoextstenca on values thai araarttflclaL Tha prtoe for which Its Brat lane of stockshall ba sold might safely be fixed by law,"

"Many worthleaa corporations ara organised, elect-ing for Its president a person ot wall known financialstrength."

On the whole, it appears safe to sar thatthe first message ot Governor Pingree isworthy of the renown ot its author. Hiscircumspection of the amene peninsula Issearching and complete.

For the Medical Faculty.President Wilson ot the Health Depart-

ment has Issued a pamphlet upon "TheLegal Duties of Physicians, Undertakers,and Cemetery Keepers." Though theseduties ought to be well known to all con-

cerned, they are In many coses disregarded;and It Is most desirable that the healthofficers of the city should hereafter manifestmore tlgilance in the enforcement of thelaws relating to them.

The first legal provision quoted In thepamphlet Is that " all physicians practisingIn New York city must be registered In theHealth Department." Yet we have not adoubt that there are hundreds of unregis-tered practitioners In the city. Theyabound in the tenement quarters on theeast side. Very often they do not possessmedical diplomas that accord with theterms ot the law; they are sometimeschargeable with illegal practices; they usenostrums ot a baneful character; theydeceive their patients; death doubtlessis due often to their ignorance. It Is

the duty ot tha SealQi DejsvrtJaent toearth out these rs ot both sexes ;

and we trust that the publication ot Presi-dent Wilson's pamphlet may be regardedas a sign that more attention will this yearbe paid to this subject. Some years ago theCounty Medical Society rendered good ser-vice in securing the arrest of unlawful prac-titioners; but we fear that Its activity inthis direction has come to an end. It mayhave been a difficult thing to catch and tohandle the evil-dosr- The society yet, how-ever, can give help to the Health Depart-

ment. It is the duty of an honorable phy-

sician to make report at that department ofany medical charlatans who may be knownto him as such.

Besides the statement of the legal dutiesot the members of the medical faculty, thepamphlet contains the rule and regulationsfor their guidance in the case of certainmaladies; and all physicians ought to bepossessed of the Information thus famished.

As the pamphlet can be obtained gratui-tously at the Health Department, everypractitioner in the city ought to make him-self acquainted with its contents.

Turret Tor Homer Shoals.The bill which Mr. Fijciter hss prepared

for Congress, authorizing a Board of ArmyEngineers to report upon the feasibility andcost of placing armored turrets on HomerShoals, In New York harbor. Is Intended tocarry out a plan which has been contem-plated and discussed for many years.

Homer Shoals lie in a line between SandyHook and Coney Island. At the ends of thisline there will be combinations ot heavyguns and mortars which will do executionupon any hostile fleet which attempts topass between them and go on to the Nar-rows, where it would have to run the secondgauntlet of Forts Wadsworth and Hamil-ton. But in addition it has been proposedto construct three circular armored forts onthe shoals, which would completely com-

mand Gedney's Channel, the South Channel, .and the Main Channel, so rendering thedefences of New York on that side practi-cally Impregnable.

Should such turret be erected, presum-ably they would bo supplied with h

guns. The type piece of this enormouscalibre was provided for at the last sessionof Congress, and it mar here be added thatthe Endicott Board long ago put down 1 fl-

inch guns among the needs of New Yorkand a few other ports.

It is, of course, to be supposed that theEngineer Corps would in any cace dulymake an examination of the Rosier Shoalspropoaal. It has long been before it, buthas not been urgent while so much workwas needed on sites already chosen. Still,the bill of Mr. FiscnER will direct renewedattention to the subject.

to ew Tors. Bnners.To mg Editor or The Sfs Sir Permit me

to call your attention to tbe fact that la your let-ter from Albany on tha Morton bill, propotinean official bcr standard, a very Important pointwaa overlooked. Without going Into the meritof the bill aa it stands. It will ba seen at a clancethat tba measure discriminate against tha NewVork brewing Industry in favor of the brewersIn other States. This is of courte unintentional,but tt I a fact, nevertheless.

Icavlng aside the question whether beerbrewed in accordance with tbe regulation ofthe Horton bill would bn Hied by the public ItIs certain that it would be much mora expen-sive. Thus the market our brewer bare builtnp In New Jersey, the New England States, andeven more distant points in tbe interior, wouldbe destroyed at one stroke. It would be utterlyImpossible to compete with tbe breweries otother State where no similar laws exist. Korthe same reason the steadily trowing export otbottled bear would he gllled; the New Yorkbrewer would bo undersold by their comitelt-tor- a

from other state and lose Important mar-ket where, after year of strenuous andcrtly(tort, they bare just begun to gain a foothold.

Again, the proposed law would not prerrnttbe sale of beer broned In other Mlate wberosuch vigorous regulations du not edit. Thebrewer of Milwaukee. &t. tauls. Cincinnati,and elsewhere could not only continue to sendtheir beer to New York, but would also driveour brewrrs out of the business. Tbe Stale ofNow York ba not the power to prescribe howbeer shall be brewed In Ohio or Illinois, nor canIt b forbidden to bring beer brewed In anotherHtatelnlo the Htatx of New York. The Matemay prohibit tbe sale of beer, but if It permitsIt. It cannot shutout certain qualities of beerfrom other States. It would require a Federallaw to protect tbe New York brewer from tberuinous competition of the brewer of otherblates: but even If It were possible to preventtbe sale of any beer not conforming to theproposed New York standard, bow couldthis be accomplished? All Western brewerlevuse cereals and rice to produce their ambercolored beers, and tbey do not deny it. I'ven Iftbey deny It, who shall prove It? New Yorkcannot tend Inspector Into the breweries Inotber State, and the proposed teat or analysisdoes sot show what tbe beer Is made of. Itshows tho percentage of water, alcohol, nl.bumen, sugar, Ac., but whether barley or cornbaa been used no chemist In tba world can tell

It I hardly neceasarr to go deeper Into themattar. Any d man'wlll see that thoHorton bill would be an act of tbe grossest in-justice to tba brewara of our own btate. Itwould practically kill a flourishing industry andtransfer It to other States without doing thepeople one bit of good.

TVkevM Mr -

To Tn Editor orTnsScx-Sl- r. How aboutArticle VII. of the Otney treaty? Does It notpractically aulborUe tbe European majority oftbe tribunals to override any protest that onrGovernment may make, and thereby empowerthe Europeans to decide what does and whatdo not affect tbe "national rights" ot theCnlted States?

This whole article In construction and crafti-ness resembles the article In the Washingtontreaty relative to the finding of the HalifaxCommission, We supposed that as the word

majority " was omitted from the article thata unanimous vote ot the commission would benecetsary to make the award binding, but OreatBritain Insisted that, as " unanimity " was notrequired, a majority vote would decide, and welost J5.000.000. or enough to build this countrytwo new war vessels. 31 i

remarks of "An American Admiral" la Thurs-day' Issue of your thoroughly American paperon the Cbamberlaln-Olne- y treaty should causaSenators to weigh well and feel tbe pall of thecitizen ot the Cnlted States before awardingthe "meat and marrow In England" and tbebone to America by ratification. Tbe ratifica-tion of this alliance, for that is what Ihl treatywill signify, makes up for England' Isolationla Europe and strengthens ber position andprestige almost to tbe foil extent of ber desire,and must In proportion weaken that of theUnited State.whleh commanded tbe admirationand rood will of all nations, but can no longerIf this alliance Is ratified.

We give strength and Influence to our oldand natural enemy by thl alllsnee and es-trange tbe good will of many otoer nation oageneral principles. Some European statesmanmay be Induced by sensational American or

newspaper to cable their approvaland extol tbe treaty. But If thoanewspaper will take the vote of the mateof American cltiten Instead of a few Europeanstatesmen and Jlogwumoa of tbe Bayard (tripeIn tbt country they will find a very differentspirit. They will find the American people willcot be satisfied with the bones while Englandget all tbe Cesh in tbe treaty. Bat ther mustrush It through before the Mugwump Adminis-tration leaves Washington or there may ba dan-ger of failure. Moreover, this 1 a cosmopolitannation. Millions of it citizens are of foreignextraction, hostile to the very powar to whichwa ara to ba allied, and In becoming dtixen otthis republic tby also become, to avune extent,dtlaetKof Ena-lasd-.

Wo have nothing to gain by thl alliance, butmuch to lce. It I a violation of the Monrodoctrine. It would cause Washington and Jef-ferson to turn In their graves.

No alliance with tbe Tory Chamberlain andSalisbury Oflvammeot. with their bands stainedfresb from ttelr attrmot to break up tbe Boerrepublic or South Africa,:

should arbitration between cation ba any xaareuceeaaful than arbitration between Individu-

Oa 1U faca. to tbeman wbo ba never given tie matter thought,arbitration seem lobe particularly fair wayto settle dispute. It is believed that tt will saveexpense of lawyer and court fees to -t amooted legal question to three "dMatarated"men to decide. Bat are tbey ever disinterest re?"
