question between our territory Of Washington,
on the Pacific, and British Columbia. The
naturalization treaty, we presume, will be
ratified, for it seems to be fair and just. The
San Juan Island boundary question, too-a
small matter-may be satisfactorily settled az
proposed. But the main question involved
the Alabama claims-in another of these pro-
tocols, is not touched. That protocol will not
do; for it settles nothing, evades the main
issue entirely, and SO mixes up these Alabama
indemnities with offsets that the whole scheme
looks like an evasion of the real matters In
dispute. We think, however, that these may
be safely left to the diplomacy Of General
Grant.

LET Us HAVE LreHT.-The wretched quail
ity of the gas furnished to our citizens
down town last night may have been highly
pleasing 10 those sanguinary individuals who
prowl about the streets amusing themselves
by knocking down and robbing unwary
mortals, but we cannot imagine the state Of
semi-darkness to have been at all pleasant to
the great majority of the people-not even to
the officers Of the gas company. Why did we
not have full supply Of gas last nights Who
can answer?
