While the baser sort of newspapers and
politicians in England and America continue
to breathe forth threatenings and slaughter
the moro judicious hold fast to the policy OF
discretion and expectation. x The indications
from Washington are that our Government
will indulge in no retorts or recriminations.
but will stand firmly in the position it has
taken, leaving to England the grave response
bility of withdrawing from the Treaty if 80
disposed 1t ought not to be forgotten 'that
the question of Interpretation is one which
belongs TO the Board of ArbitratiOn that we
have committed no fraud in negotiating
the Treaty, and have been guilty of
no improperly in giving it the con-
struction we intended when we adopted 1t
that, having presented our Case, it remains
for the Arbitrators, and not for the English
press, nor even the English Cabinet. to say
whether our claims are excessive or not; that
if the Treaty stands, and the Board Of Arbi-
tration gives its award, we intend TO accept
it; and if Great Britain withdraws, we shall
be left in better attitude than we occupied
before the Washington Conference, while that
of England will be much more difficult. In
this state of affairs it is evident that any heroic
buster on our part is wholly unnecessary.
Our position is so strong that it does not need
to be fortified with words.

Agriculture has before it a vast. and we be-
lieve brilliant future; and its progress will
be rapid in proportion as sound practice is
united to thorough scientific education. The
approaching Convention at Washington, there
fore, on Thursday next, will attract wide at
tentiOn. and lead, we trust, to important re-
suits. We print this morning thoughtful
article specially prepared for THE TRIBUNE
by high authority on the subject, which sets
forth the objects of the Convention and some
of the salient topics which should engage the
attention of the delegates its views are
suggestive and worthy of careful consideration.

" Attorney General OF the Territory OF Utah'
in 1869. by an Acting Governor, and he claimeu
the right to act as public prosecutor IN place

the Territorial Assembly could not make ol

limited States. established by Act of Congress,
il could not force It's so-called officers into
anv of those courts under any possible pre-
tense. The Morm0ns therefore, claim that all
proceedings under the Terrltollal statues
while the Court was governed by Oni'eu
States laws, and officers under sucn laws arc
null and void.
This confusion arises from the pertinaclty
and bodness of the attempt by the MormOhS
to set I'D q State of their own within the limits
of the Territory of Utah The Mormons are
NOT disloyal in the narrow sense OF that term
thew have never acknowledged the sovereignty
of the limited States whenever it could be
avoided. They believe in the State OF Deseretj
and their Assembly has enacted laws conflict
ing with those OF the United States, as Is
shown in these very particulars. Congress mas

summoned the Assembly provides another
way. Congress gives the machinery Oh

| the Marshal the Assembly gives 1t to the
| Clerk and a Territorial officer unknown to the
| laws of the United States. We need not ask
which must give way to the other These
points are important in tho solution OF the
Mormon problem not because they affect poly

| The disingenuous and artful conduct OF the
| Mormons shows that our only hold upon those
willful, unnatural people is in their Territorial
condition. The United States Courts now nave
wide jurisdiction because Utah is Territory !;
make it State, and the sovereignty or the
United States would be practically at an end

The citizens of Cambridge Mass, are finding fault
with the great amount of real estate in the city held
by the Corporation of Harvard College. all of which
is exempted from taxation by statute of the State.
To-day this College S2OO0O0O worth of land in
Cambridge, embracing 70 acres, one thirty-fifth
part of the taxable area and every year the college
adds to its estate. There has been hearing upon
the subject before the City Council at which Dr.
Eliot the President of the University in opposing
any change argued that the property on the vari-
Gus streets in the neighborhood OF the College
rendered more valuable by its location; numbers of
persons of wealth were led, by the advantages Of
Harvard, to make Cambridge their home, while the
1900 students annually spent large sums of money
in the city. There seems, however, to be feeling
in Cambridge, and we think it q natural one, that
there should be restriction of the right of the
College corporation to buy up land.

The counsel of the murderer Foster have
argued before the full bench their motion for
q new trial. The Court reserved its decision.
1t seems now that Fosters intention in smash
ing Mr.. Putnam's head TO a jelly was merely
to main him and teach him not to speak to a
gentleman in liquor. That death resulted was
due simply to fact in physiology for which
Foster was not responsible. If Mr. Putnam's
skull had been an inch or two thicker he
would not have died.

public exhibition of her skill at the Meodeon Hail.
She is the wife of Prof. GARNER. himself a crack
player" and her game is described as "partaking
more of the sure than the brilliant" as she confines
herself mostly to single caroms ,onecushiOn shots
and draws. She also handles her cue after grace
full and easy fashion. This finishes matters. Women
have now done everything which man can do from
the preaching of to the playing of billiards
The equality" of the sexes may now, therefore, be
considered as settled. To be sure, should like to
know what equality" used in such connection,
means-but never mind. We have no time to-day
for an inquiry. We must take time, however to
state that at the House of the Good Shepherd RO-
man Catholic asylum in Boston, there is a steam-en-
gine for household purposes which is run by Sister
Mary St Margaret, as engineer and the good crea-
ure gives perfect satisfaction in this department of
human energy. There is no reason under the sun
why o woman should not manage locomotive. if
she can do it but for all that have not the least
idea that the softer will generally GUST the
harder sex from that employment. In this world
there certain matters which arrange themselves.

The graphic and eloquent address delivered
at the Cooper Institute on Saturday by Elliott
@. Cowdin, esq, is printed on the eighth page
Of The TRIBUNE. He describes the disasters
of France and the terrible episode of the
Commune with that energy and cleamess
which come from actual observation. If we
cannot accept all his conclusions, we can still
appreciate the sincerity of his convictions and
the vigor Of his narrative.

The Oslcego Press is quoted by The Times as
parading the story of Tom Fields's $1,000

"THE TRIBUNE denies accusation brought against

any accusation brought against it, A witness
has sworn before the late Grand Jury that
Tom Fields told him that he paid $4,000 to
suppress an exposure of the Harlem Firemen

denied this fatty; nevertheless, The TRIBUNE
believes that he told the witness something of
the kind, and insists that the play shall go
on THE TRIBUNE asks where and to whom
this $4,000 was paid, and all about it. The
TRIBUNE is the only medium through which
any knowledge of this matter has reached the
public. THE TRIBUNE takes considerable in

amused by it. But denies mo, never!
