Representative Allison will probably be abb

IT is said that the enemies of the Treaty OF
Washington will make an effort to defeat it ip
the House of Representatives, which hos ju-
risdietion over two matters embraced in the
treaty. One of these points is, with regard to
the result of tho conventions between the
United States and Canada, which will affect
the tariff between this country and the prov.
ince. The other point is on the appropriation
of money that will be required to carry the
treaty into effect IF there were any real or
organized opposition to the treaty there would
be danger of the instrument being greatly
hindered from these two points. But there is
not, and never will be. Mr.. Benjamin F. But
Ter, principally, and few of his sympathizing
constituents make up the mass of its oppo-
nents outside of a few Democrats who, DUR
ing the rebellion were too Democratic to be
patriotic, and are now too partisan to support
an administration measure, however benefi-
cent. If Gen. Butler will only go over the
country lecturing, having Capt. Knowlton and
his crew to sit upon the platform as terrible
examples, the opposition will soon be slenc-
ed. 1t can't stand that. :.

DOUBTLESS our Democratic states rights
advocates will note with indignation that can
only be expressed in flaming capitals the lat
est proof of the purpose of the present ad-
ministration to usurp the rights of the sover-
eign States in appointing day of thanksgiv-
ing and thus rendering the usual proclama-
ton OF the Governors unnecessary. The fact
that it secures uniformity and prevents the
interruption of business as has been the case
In the past, is of little account compared with
the colossal size of the "man on horseback"
that our Jealous friends will see in this Re-
publican innovation.

THE English correspondents of American
papers complain bitterly of the humiliation
to which they are subjected by the begging
dispatches in behalf of Chicago, seIt to Great
Britain and other European countries by Off
cial and oficious persons. England, moved
by sympathy, gave spontaneously and most
generously, and the men who have undertake
en- to stimulate that sympathy by undignifed
solicitation have shown extremely poor taste,
to say nothing more. John and Jacob Blight
gave each $500 at the Manchester meeting,
and the general feeling manifested all over
England by all classes has been so kind and
SO practically friendly as to impress greatly
all Americans who have observed it.

In the Argentine Republic, the principal
Catholic church in Cordova was lately the
scene OF the "annual fagellation" The build
ing was thronged with people who were pro-
vided with "disciplines. The lights were put
out, and fer full ten minutes, while the priests
intoned the penitential psalms, there was a
slashing sound Of self-inficted fogging. No
doubt the opportunity was taken to pay off
sundry old scores on other shoulders, while the
fact that the church was darkened enabled the
pentents to mako their self fagellation all the
lighter.

The October statement of the public debt
is another unanswerable argument to the
constant accusations of the ornnaitinn press
against President Grants administration,
showing, as it does, that the high figure OF the
monthly reduction is sustained in spite of the
large decrease of taxation. The decrease
during October was $s,9O5, 491 "a giving an
aggregate reduction since Gen. Grants in

Our Relations With Spain

Just now our relations with Spain are lit
tie critical No one can predict whether the
two Spanish men-of-war that have sailed for
Hayti may not commit an outrage on the
American vessel "Hornet," that now lies in
the neutral harbor of Port au Prince. which
will at length compel our government to take
decisive measures against Spain. 1t is true
that the government of Amadeus is inclined
to decent regard for international obliga-
tons, but the Governor General, Valmaseda,
pays far more attention to the Cuban Volun-
teers than he does to the home authorities.
Cuba is now virtually independent of Spain,
its government being administered by the
Volunteers in entire disregard of Madrid.
But of course Spain will be held responsible
since she does not rehnquish her nominal con-
troll of the island. The crime with which the
Havana hot-heads charge the Hornet is land
ing arms on Cuban soil for the use of the in
surgent patriots. She was chased into the
harbor of Port au Prince by one of the men
ot-war that is now supposed to be on the way
to take forcible possession of her, when de-
mand was made on the Haytian authorities
for her to surrender. Upon the refusal OF
President Saget TO give up the American YES
sci that had taken refuge in neutral waters
the Spanish Consul pulled down his flag and
sailed for Havana to get instructions. What
his instructions are can only be gathered from
the fact that he returns with two men. of war
at his back. Accordingly, important news
NAV be expected from Hayti at an early dav
and the case of the "Hornet" may prove
much more important than that of the "Hor-
ton"

ABsINTHE.-Since Americans have taken 70
using absinthe SO freely, it is well that they
should know all they can concerning the fas-
cinating but dangerous liquid. Many people
believe that the effects produced by it are main
tanned entirely by the alcohol IN which the alb.
sinthe is infused. This is an error. The es.
sences of alcohol of anisseed, and the various
other components which enter into the make
up of glass of absnthe, are not dangerous:
the real poison is in the absinthe itself. Ger.
tain experiments prove this in an incontesta.
ole manner. An insect placed under hell
glass, ON saucer half filled with alcohol, has
been observed to stagger and fall exactly like
druken mau; but betrayed no convulsiye ag-
itation. Another insect placed in the game
way on saucer OF absnthe had an epileptic
Mt at once, foamed at the mouth and did not
recover for some minutes. rat or cat suffers
in the same way from absinthe. The nevita-
Bile effects upon man of the abuse of absinthe
are epilepsy, delirium tremens and suicide. The
Paris workmen and the literary men of the
French capital afford evidences low and then
of what terrible agent of destruction liquor
can become. Our fashionable ladies and young
men who desire ANEW sensation" must be-
ware of the demon who turks in the glass.
W hiskey and deadliest brandy never cursed
the world as has absintbe. sr
