Mr.. Brown, our persevering STRENGTHENING
contractor, ''still lives" and yesterday he
handed in some of his little bills" This will
be good news to the friends Of Mr.. Brown,
who are under the opinion that he had died or
gone to Texas, and that we have nobody now
engaged to clean the streets.

and that, as we said, almost before the ink is
dry, there has arisen more irritation than
existed previously. What, then, is the value
of such solemn instrument? If England re-
fuses to abide by it in the matter of the arbltra-
ton of the Alabama claims, in advance
of the action of the arbitrators, may
she not pretend to find some loophole
to break other provisions of it when
ever that might suit her convenience? The
British government ought to have known, If 1t
did not know, that the United States reserved
the right to present claims for consequential
damages. These were set forth in the proto-
col submitted by our Commissioners to the
Joint High Commission which framed the
treaty, and nothing was incorporated in the
treaty to exclude them. Our government
certainly intended from the first and all along
to claim consequential damages, as set forth
in the case laid before the Geneva Conference,
though bound to accept the decision Of the
Conference whether for or against the claim.
There has been no sharp practice or over
reaching 10 this matter, nor has our govern
ment made this claim without the conviction
that II is entitled to such damages. 1t would,
therefore, be pusillanimous and discreditable
TO this great nation to recede from the ground
it has taken at the threats or bluster Of
England.
This country has conceded great deal for
the sake of peace or the prospect Of peace in
making the Treaty of Washington. In no
respect have we gained any advantage. We
were the only great maritime rival Of England,
and she, by her unfriendly conduct in fur
nishing the rebels with the Alabama and
other cruisers, destroyed our shipping and
commerce and built up her own commercial
marine on the ruins. We're we to leave our
selves untrammelled by treaty obligations and
our claims against England remain unsettled
We would serve hey H. the same way when
