THE MEXICAN TREATY.

Successful efforts have been made to pre-
vent the confirmation of The proposed com
mercial treaty with Mexico at the present
session of Congress. A memorial was pre-
sented to the Senate demonstrating against IT.
signed by various Eastern importers and re-
finers of sugar who cited the important TACT
that efforts were being made to revoke SIM
liar treaty with the Hawaiian Government on
account of the admission of certain grades oil
sugar duty free. That the Government should
be doing the very thing with Mexico that
Congress is trying to undo with the Sandwich
Islands certainly commends the matter to
attention.
The question first considered was as to the
right of Congress or the Government to tax
our own people for the benefit Of foreign
sugar planters. This is what was practically
done in the case of Hawaii. The con-
sumers of sugar were to be made
by the operation of this treaty to pay
into the pockets of Mexican producers a
heavy bounty to be estimated from the duty
RENTED, which is 2 cents pound, equivalent
to 20 per cent. on cost. 1t is an obvious
principle of free, or representative, govern
ment that all the powers delegated by the
people to their representatives in any depart
ment have for their object benefits and not
burdens. The treaty making power in the
Government may therefore have no authority
to make such treaty without submission of it
to popular vote. For that reason the Senate
acted wisely in granting the proposition to

A Canadian Marriage for Money.

Mrs. Allen, Canadian heiress to an estate
Of $2oo, 900, has determined to discard her
husband unless he can prove his claim to
nobility. The reason is that the husband,
John George Bruce Allen, an English adven-
turer, secured her hand bypretending to be the
Right Honorable Earl of Cantyre, Cantyre
Castle, Perth, Scotland. He met Mrs. Allen,
then Miss Chaffey, in Europe, followed her to
Canada, spent large sums of money with
which he seemed TO be literally provided, and
eventually ingratiated himseifin the confidence
Of Chattey -pere, lumber king of Ontario.
Miss Chaffey, her father and Allen all
attended the great reception by Lord Lorne at
Montreal. While it was in progress Allen and
Miss Chaffey left the father and were married
at the residence Of Methodist minister.
When they returned and asked for the lumber
kings blessing he became irate and appealed
10 Lord Lone for information Of the SUPPOSE
uuous Earl Of Cantyre. Lorne declared the
man an impostor, whereupon he hastily fed
from the lumber kings house.

IRELAND'S DAY OF TROUBLE.

1t was a wanton and mistaken frenzy that
led to the assassination of Cavendish and
Burke, and it was done forgetful that they who
SOW the wind shall reap the whirlwind. But,
in the opinion of many intelligent lrishmen, it
is likely to bring good fruit. One of these is
P. J. Sheridan, an Irish-American, of New
York, whom James Carey, the informer, in
his testimony in Dublin, stated to be an SIN
vincible Organizer" who was interviewed re-
Gently by reporter of the New York Irish
World. He says the statement of Carey was
pure fabrication, and does not doubt that the
Government intends upon false testimony to
convict the prisoners on trial Mr.. Sheridan
says some stirring things of Irish affairs, and
thinks the Government is helping the cause Of
Irish independence by carrying things
to extremes. Being asked what he
thought would be the result of hanging the
men now on trial, he replied "That is a
matter only to be guessed, but there is one
thing certain, Ireland was never SO deter
mined upon achieving her independence, and
never so safely on the straight road to obtain
! it as she is at this hour"
Let US hope that the long day of Ireland's
troubles is near its close. But there is no cost
of blood or treasure with which England will
not resist Irish independence. Many bloody
field will attest the frenzy of her fears of so
signal change as the transformation of the
people upon her border, who are her uncon-
ditional foes, from a powerless dependency
into powerful Republic, and the Irish nation
into highway for all her enemies. We do
not believe that Ireland single handed can con-
quer her independence. With the Irish
people of America as her allies to
fill with their inexhaustible numbers her
broken ranks, and furnish ships and weapons,
and ammunition, and supplies, she might do
so. But the American Government what
ever its sympathies, must stand sentinel over
the faith of the nation, and many obstacles
will attend 1llibustering, by means OF which
alone the cause of Ireland can receive such
aid.
What would England do with an Irish Re,
public, her foe, stalwart and implacable, sep,
arated from her by only narrow sea? She
dare not now tunnel her way to the French
coast for fear of a French invasion? Hel
throne and aristocracy, Government and in.
stitutOns, everything of value to her as a
people, will be at stake in the war that is
fought for Irish independence. 1t will be q
long and Bloody struggle, and terrible the ex
tremiy that shall find her with her Kingdom
dismembered and her armies defeated, for il
, will find her also at the mercy of Europe, and
Of every foreign foe.
The conquest of their liberties by the Irish
people will be little less than the subjugatior
Of England.

A "HISToRY of the People of the United
States, in FIVE volumes, by John Bach Mac
Master" is a new work by an absolutely I'M
known author which the Appletons have had
the daring to put into print. The very audacity
of such venture ought to create sen sation.
But it is said to be book that will make its
mark-fresh, original, graphic, piquant, acute,
comprehensive, eloquent, profound. Are we
to have an American Macauley in John Bach
Manchester?

successfully run the gauntlet Of the enemies of

courage and speedily follow mis- illustrious

THE Queen and Premier Of England have
been engaged recently in trying to sell the
Duke of Edlnburgh's inheritance, in the Duchy
of Coburg, to the German Government. The
Duke inherits, as grandson of Ernest, Grand
Duke of SAKE Coburg, Of Gotha, and Of
eight other little independent States, making
10 in all, some of which in size are fully equal
to large Texas cattle ranch, or Wisconsin
wheat farm. What his royal interest in the
succession is is not stated, but the demand
for it is S5,ooo,ooo down and 100000 per
annum. But old William wonders if it is
British opinion that there is something soft in
Bismarck or, if not from what the temerity Of
this demand springs. At any rate there is a
dead lock, and it is likely the royal succession
will 90 under the hammer, and some Amer
lean straggler will probably buy it as wed.

Return Of President MADDEN and DIR.
Thornton from Jackson, Miss
What They
Think About the Sanitary Council and
It's WOrk-Plans Of the Taxing
District.

President Hadden and DIR. Thornton re-
turned Yesterday from Jackson Miss, where
they took part in the Sanitary Council OF the
Mississippi Valley. Both expressed sstisfac-
lion at the result OF the session, and Presl-
dent HsddeD, in an interview with an AP-
PEAL reporter, said he thought there was no
doubt that the seabosrd and the Mississippi
valley would be protected from yelioW-fever.
''THE COUNCIL WAS COMPOSED"
he added, ''of representatives from fifteen
Slater, all of them men of standing here the
president smiled a modest smile and the
earnest spirit manifested shows in their
work. The Mississippi delegates were
especially determined TO bar out Bronze
John. There is S45 900 in their State treas
ury TO the credit of the State Board Of
Health, and those fellows will spend every
cent of it if necessary.
NEW ORLEANS
was represented by several members Oh the
Auxiliary Sanitary Association, all COED
men and true. The Louisiana State Board
OF Health held haughtily aloof. We did
not see hair nor hide Of 'em. The Sanitary
Association was offered the supervision OF
quarantine and inspection work in its dis
trici, but declined to act, not wishing 10 come
10 conflict with the State Board without legal
authority. l was surprised 10 see the ALSO
Lutte LACE of confidence in the Louisiana
State Board. We have disirusted them for
a long time, aud for good reasons, but had
no idea that everybody in the yellow;fever
district agreed with US.

in the future will be dependent upon the ex-
isience Of the National Board. You saw BY
the telegram published in this morning 3
