The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty


The proposition to annul the Clayton Bull
wer Treaty, famous thirty years ago and
shortly after forgotten, is much commented
upon by some of the English Conservative
organs. These journals pretend to believe
that a great injustice is contemplated, and
already exclaim that the new ministry is
ready to compromise British dignity in def
erence to the arrogant demands of this
country. Their fears, of course, are as
sumed, and their object simply to manufac-
ture grievances against the Liberals. The
Liberal papers are promptly taking up the
challenge and declaring that if America de-
sires the abrogation of the Treaty no objec-
ton will be made by the Gladstone Cabinet
The truth probably is that not a man in
England cares straw whether the Treaty
stands or falls, except as it can be made use
full in the discussion of home politics. Nor
do Americans feel keen interest in the
matter, though it is believed that some pos
sible complications in case the canal across
the isthmus is ever constructed may be
avoided by the destruction of the Treaty.
The Treaty, it will be remembered, was
made in 1850, when the canal project was
seriously talked of, and had for its object
the protection of inter-oceanic commu-
nication across the isthmus. The
only articles of general interest are
the first, second, fifth. and sixth.
In the first article the two governments de-
clare ''that neither the one nor the other
will ever obtain or maintain for itself any
exclusive control over said ship canal''
through Central America, or "take advan-
tage of any intimacy or alliance for acquir-
ing advantages for its own citizens over the
citizens of the other power;;" nor will either
''erect ary fortifcation, establish any colony,
or assume or exercise any dominion over
any part of the territory
Article II. exempts vessels from deten-
ton or blockade during war.
Article V. guarantees the neutrality of
the canal, and that, when it is completed,
both will unite in protecting it ''from inter-
ruption, seizure or unjust confiscation."
Article vi. declares the object of the
treaty to be ''the protection of the canal fol-
the benefit of mankind, or equal terms to
ALL"
There is nothing very dreadful in all this.
If the canal is built, the money for it will
have to come in part from foreign pockets,
and in that case all We could reasonably ask
would be its complete neutrality. Wecertainly
should object, as we ought, to its control by
any foreign power. Farther than that we
cannot well go, unless we take the expense
however is capable of no practical good, and
should we ever want to build the canal
might work some evil. AS nobody cares fol-
it let it 90

THE case of Madame Restell has not prob
ably been forgotten by newspaper readers.
Interest in it is revived by the report that
the body of her husband, CDR" Lohman, is
to be exhumed to see if traces of poison can
be found, it having been asserted that he
was poisoned by his wife for the sake of his
money, He left her between 100000 and
$500, 200 in his will, and it is claimed that
she took his life in order to get possession of
the money. Proceedings will be begun at
once, if proof of poison can be traced. 1t is
said that Mrs. Lohman killed herself through
fear of the discovery of this crime, and not
because she expected conviction on Mr. Com
stocks charges.

SENATOR Edmunds said in recent inter-
view: ''To tell the truth, have no fault to
find with newspaper men. Sometimes when
I am interviewed reporters will ask me if 1
would prefer writing out what wish to say;
but tell them they always get their inter-
views up in much better shape than could,
They put better speeches into my mouth
than could make, and I am quite content
to leave myself in their hands" That man
would make a good President.
