Ead's Treaty with Mexico.
New Orleans Times.

A very important document is that pub
li:hed ia our issue Of January 6, viz: Gap
tain Eads Ship Railway Scheme" It's
commercial importance will be recognized
at glance. It's political consequences may
not DO so apparent, but they may be tenn.
peraiely described as momentcus. The sit
uation is this: Eads mas concluded treaty
with Mexico which may give the U. 5. gov
eminent first mortgage on what will be
the most important commercial and military
highway in Moxico. Or ERds may execute
such q mortgage in favor of any European
power. For more direct reference we repro.
duce the particular clause referred to ::
"The greatest evidence, however, of
the desire of Mexico to cooperate with
the United States in promoting the exacu~
ton of this important work is shown in a
notable clause of the concession, which gives
to Mr.. Eads the right to bypotheoate the
revenues of the company to any foreign
government which will aid him, with money
or guarantees. in the construction OF the
works" But the audscieus engineer was too
shrewd to limit himself to any one power,
While be was stocking his own hand he
thought it Just as we'll TO take all the best
trumps. de may hypotheCate with "Any
foreign government which will aid him with
money or guarantees (of his bonds p in the
construction of the works" Suppose he
should hypOthecato with England, with the
full consent of Mexico? And suppose Eng
land should foreclose her mortgage and take
possession of the road How, in that oase,
could the United States lawfully dispute tho
English claim? Again, how could the United
States lawfully prevent foreclosure and seiz-
ure by & gland in case of default And sup
posing the foreclosure to be completed,
how could the United States
stop the financial absorption of
Mexico by Englsnd--snd, after that, hew
could the United States prevent the political
absorption Of Mexico and the establishment
How could the United States prevent such
discrimination against American shippers
over the road as to practically bar our peo
pie from the use of the line Either there is
danger Of serious complications in the near
future. or it is the sublmest game of "bluff'
played in modern times 1t may be that
Eads is only eudeavoring to force the United
States to aid him with moRey or with pretec-
ton, as indeed it should. That is the more
plausible conclusion. But whether "bluff" or
solid purpose is behind the announcement it
behooycs this stumbling, caterwauling gov
ernmeRt Of ours to look into the matter. 1t
is liz the highest degree improbable that the
people Tho United States will quietly lock
on while European powers take possession of
one Of the NEST important highways in the
world, with full power to discriminate
against our merchant vessels and to exeluds
our war vessels from the isthmus transit.

lie long enough? And if you have concluded
that there il no use to try to undo the meshes
tnat encompass you, look at your children.
DO you want them TO suffer as you have? If
you think your little girl will, do not deceive
yourself. She is not in Egypt or Barbary
state. She is not yelled and hidden and
watched within some Turkish harem. She
Is growing up on American soil, breathing
American air, learning American WAYS, and
gaining plimpses Of American free thought.
DO you think sho is unconscious Of what
you suffer? Do you believe that shA will
grow up with any reverence for God who,
sha is taught, delights in such things. Don't
you see that you are killing in her young
heart the germs of chastity and of rev.
erenee for Divine mercy? What will
be the result? Look around the streets
of Salt Lake City and mark the re-
suits yourself. Remember this! Women
were never kept in pOlygamy through three
generations except in one way. They have
TO be made slaves, and perpetually watched
and coerced. Unless these means are brought
TO bear the whole structure falls to pieces.
Ihe leaders in the church know this, and so,
while they preach to you the need Of obey
Ing Gods will, they are secretly longing for
the government to put such restraint upon
them that they will have an excuse to Tell
their people they must, to avoid bloodshed
and imprisonment and loss Of property,

Congressional spoech-nIaking

A little more than six weeks remain to
this congress. Not for two years at least
will democratic majority again hold the
legislative power of the nation. Anything
the democrats wish TO do must be done
quickly, and it cannot be quickly done or
we'll done If every democrat is to try during
these six weeks to demonstrate that be is IA
orator. AT other times speech may be
golden" Prudent and wise elaboration
about new measures Of legislation there must
OF course be, but such elaboration shoulI be
carried on in the committee to which each
measure is consigned. The democratic party
as party has spoken out In favor of free
ships and civil service reform. Whoever,
therefore, in congress does MOI intend 10
promote these reforms cannot in party
sense be called democrat The only real
point for INVESTIGATION and delibsraiion is
how TO effect such reforms. For suck inves.
tlsation aud elaboration there ia aApe time.
II the democratic maiorites on the several
committees will be diligent and conscientious
IN reaching and proseatng their conclusions.

tee has been thorough and wise, let the chair

by q cold, determined, practical and unrs-
@osnsive attitude Of tho democratic majority.
What the democratic majority in each
house of congress needs at this moment is
leadership and discipline in order to promote
the reforms to whichSSthe democracy pledged
itself in 1876 at st. Louis. Professor Sheldon
Amos, one Of the most thoughtful English
writer's on the science of jurisprudence, COM
menting upon the collision between con-
gre!s and President johnson, said; "In the
United States no question is more debatable
then whether the house of representatives is
tyrennical oligarchy or an impotent rabblo,
ana whether the president is cipher or n
!uespot. No doubt one of these alternatives
y, Is, true at one time and another at another"
Inc country must wait till after the 4th of
next e1t March to SEQ whether President Gar

gresa demonstrate at once that during the

Slow or Rapid Payment,


The debate on the funding bill in the house
at Washington turns on the point how long
the rebuilding bonds shall be made 80 run,
and the decision Will indicate pretty clearly
whether tho house is in favor of slow or
rapid oXtinguishment of the national debt.
The bill proposes TO refund some $3.50. 000,-
COO OF the debt about TO be redeemable in 8
per cent. bonds payable In twenty years srd
maturing in forty years. They ara twenty.
forty bonds, and when once issued there will
be about one third the debt which the gov
ernment cannot pay, except by purchase in
the open market, tilt expiration of twenty
years. Tho advocates Of RAPID payment ar
que that ia twenty years the government
will have paid in interest in the aggregate
sixty per cent, End in forty yesrs 100 per
cent, or a fifth more than
the principal. Instead of this
they propose that the bonds be made payable
after a short period; or, that toe whole
amount be refunded in certificates redeemable
at the pleasure Of the government after one
year. They argue that as the government
paid last year $74, 100000 on the public debt,
this whole amount of $50 1000 600 to be re.
funded, can DO paid off in ten years in install
ments Of about So0000,000 year; and that
1t would DO better 10 devote the annual sur
plus of revenues to this purpose. 1t is evi-
