While it is known that majority of Sena-
tors are in favor OF the ratification of the treaty
OF Washington as measure of peace, some Of
them will prepare amendments to several of
the provisions which they consider not perfect
ly plain. and which without modification may
lead to dissatisfaction In the future. One of
the objections to the treaty is that the San Ju-

the Emperor of Germany. Tue recent report

Should the question not be settled during the
present EmperOr's lifetime, this arrangement
of the Joint High Commission is considered
unfortunate in view of the fact that the Prince
having married Victoria Adelaide, daughter of
the Queen of Eng land, he might therefore be

The reconciliation of the rival members
of the Bourbon family make their chances
for restoration to the throne of France
much better. The Monde announces that
the Prince de JoinviIle and the Duo d'Au-
male have proclaimed their adherence to
the manifesto of the Count de Chambord,
and that the fusion of the Legitimists and
Orleanists is complete.
Indeed, the chances of the Count de
Chambord are so hattering that dispatches
from Paris indicate that coup d. etat is
momentarily expected in the Assembly to
depose Theirs and summon the Count to
the throne. The extreme severity with
which Theirs has found it necessary to
deal with the Communists has made
him the target for severe criticism and
brought upon him the enmity of the
Reds and given the friends of the
Bourbons grounds upon which to base OBJ:
jections to his administration. In any
other country than France, there might be
some basis reliable enough to found specu-
.tion upon, but not so of Paris or France
There is no telling what a day may now
that, in the confusion and dissatisfaction
of the period, new revolution may be
sprung and the Orleans family be restored
to power. Certain it is that just now
Theirs is not resting on a bed of roses,
and his tenure-of-offiee is not at all certain.

THE monthly report from the Secretary
of the Treasury is just published and shows
that the administration goes bravely for
ward in its great work of paying off our
national debt. We can see in this respect
new assurances that integrity and econo-
my are the controlling influences of Gen.
Grants administration. Demagogues may
howl and endeavor to persuade men that
their taxes are absorbed by thieves and
sleek officials; that their burdens are not be-
ing Iessened but ON the contrary increased;
but SO long as these monthly exhibits prove
beyond dispute the very contrary, their
idle rawlings amount to nothing. We in
vite attention to these figures especially
now, as efforts are being made to counter
act the good results they produce. VITO
