SAS JUAN AWARD.

BY the 34th article Of the treaty of Wash.
States and Great Britain in their construction
Of the treaty Of the 18th of June, 1916, de-
fning the boundary line between their re-
spective territories, were submitted to the ar
bitration and award of His Majesty, the En-.
peror Of Germany, to decide which Of these
claims is most in accordance with the true in.
terpretation of the treaty Of 1916. His
Majesty, the Emperor of Germany, having
been pleased to undertake the arbitration,
has the earnest thanks of the government and
of the people of the United States, for the
labor, pains and care which he has devoted
to the consideration of this long pending
difference. i have caused an expression
of my thanks to be communicated to His
Majesty. Mr.. Bancroft, the representative OF
this government at Berlin, conducted the
case and prepared it on the part ofthe United
States with the ability that his past services
justified the public in expecting at his hands.

treaty which has given rise to the discus ssion
between the two governments, as the minis
ter to Great Britain when the construction
now pronounced unfounded was first ad.
vanced, and the agent and representative OF
the government to present the case to re
cover award, he has been associated with the
quesuon IN all Its phases and in every stage
has manifested a patient zeal and earnestness
in the maintenance of the claim Of the United
States. He is entitled to much credit for the
success which has attended the submission.
After patient investigation Of the case and
the statements of each party. His Majesty,
on the 2lst day of October last signed his
award in writing, decreeing that the claim OF
the government of the United States, that the
boundary line between the territory Of Her
Britannia Majesty and that of the United
States should be drawn through the Haro
channel, is most in accordance with the true
Interpretation Of the treaty concluded on the
10Th Of June 1916, between the agent Of her

The Commissioners appointed to superin-
tend the construction of the West Side Ele-
waited Railroad, will, it is stated, report at
Albany, in conformity with resolution passed
on the LIST of February, on the LIST proximo.
Meanwhile w. L. Scott relative of Colonel
Scott, the coming railroad king, has been
elected president of the company and bill
is in preparation looking to the bridging Of
tine street now occupied by the route, thus
creating grand trunk line from the Pacific to
the Battery, New York, with Colonel Scott as
the controlling spirit. In virtual possession
of the Union Pacific Railroad, by lease, it
will be seen that, If this project is carried
out, the creation of more gigantic railroad
monopoly than ever Vanderbilt or Fisk con-
troled, looms up as a fat occ0mpH. On the
other hand, If the project fails, the removal Of
the present libel on engineering science is
imminent; and it is to be hoped that the New
York press, and the property holders along
the route, will bestir themselves in time to
bring about the latter consummation, de-
voutly to be wished, In view of the fact that
property has declined thirty per cent on one
Of the heaviest wholesale thoroughfares in
the city, in the presence Of the present crazy
structure. 1t is understood that the Commits
sioners will favor removal and revocation of
the powers vested in the company; but
activity and discussion will be required TO
defeat the pending scheme, with which 1t il
now neck or nothing.

Mr.. Trumbull is really of the opinion that
there will be no nomination for the Presidency
by the liberal republicans. Well, IL there is
to be no nomination for this Office, why go to
Cincinnati? Mr.. Trumbull is an old enough
politician to know that no twenty
politicians ever assembled in this coun-
try without generating a candidate for
the Presidency. Here we have all
manner of sentimental and practical candi-
dates, with twenty more budding into life
for this hallucination of the Presidency Is
more widespread than people would be apt to
suppose. We shall have candidate from the
liberal republicans. Mr.. Trumbull may vote
for Grant in the contingency of his being
Thoroughly reformed, but Mr.. Schurz and Mr..
Sumner and others are less placable. They
mean to defeat Grant, and they do not mean
to join the democratic party. They have
personal grievance which has grown into q
passion, and this passion controls their
action. In this also is the weakness Of
their position. Mr.. Schurz and Mr.. Sumner
are angry; but anger is not a conviction, or
principle, and the country cannot be expected
to accept it as reason for abandoning prin-
cples, or for making war upon an admins
tration that has served the people well. And
here, as we have again and again said, is the
rock upon which this anti-Grant party will
split. It is a party without principle or a
leader-a party Of anger, passion and disap-
pointed ambition. Here we have Mr. Greeley,
who was never satisfied with any administra-
ton and opposed Lincoln as he opposes Grant,
and Mr.. Sumner, sensitive, impatient
restless German, who belongs naturally
to an opposition, and Trumbull following the
Cincinnati incense bearers with dreams of the
Presidency. And what remains? Is this
party? Is this an alliance to command the
respect and SURFACES of the country, or have
these men any one principle which General
Grant opposes that will justify them in making
ON issue before the country? We see nothing
Of the kind Mr.. Trumbull has simply made
a mistake. Instead Of statesman we find
demagogue making an ostentatious parade
of political virtues which, by his own
confession. are only two years old.
A man who has only reformed himself
within two years In the matter of political con-
thence should be lenient in his criticisms
upon others. If Mr.. Trumbull can find no
better reasons for making war upon the ad-
mnistration and going to the anxious society
of the disappointed politicians at Cincinnati
than what we find in this speech, the country
will little heed him. And as to this Presiden-
tial incense, 1t will only bring him WEAKNESS
and strife and overmastering care and that
hope which maketh the heart
sick

A MOVEMENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE PUB
LILO LANps.-We learn from Washington that
the House Committee on Public Lands is
likely to report bill to reserve the public
lands for homestead settlement. There begins
to be, too, pretty general opinion throughout
the country that this precious inheritance OF
the American people has been most lavishly
squandered upon monopoies within the last
ten years, and that it is time to stop the evil.
We hope the committee will introduce COM
prehensive and stringent measure to save the
public lands for actual settlers--for those who
will cultivate them and add to the wealth Of
The country. With the rapid increase OF our
population the time Is not far distant when the
available lands for homestead settlement will
be scarce. At any rate, If the lands are to be
sold at all, let the government receive the pro-
Ceeds. and not overgrown monopolies.
