CHICAGO, December 26th.-A Washington
special says; A prominent Senator said to-
day that he thought it was more than prob
able that the proposed new Hawaiian treaty
would be withdrawn from the Senate by
the State Department, and another treaty
agreed upon He said chat even the Ha-
waiian Government now admitted that this
country did not receive such good terms as
ii deserved. Better terms would be given in
the next treaty. He said further, however,
that all the treatie; would fail to be ratified

Christmas in New York.

Si1istDlas III new
New YORK, December 26th.-Yesterday
was a white Christmas. Throughout the
Eastern States there was good sleighing,
and bright, bracing weather Central Park
and the popular drives out of the city were
merry with the jingling bells Of fast horses.
At the city hospitals, lunatic asylums,
prisons and charity institutions there were
unusually bountiful dinners. The churches
had more than the average Christmas at
tendance, and here also, the wealth and
decoration. music canticontributions showed
no trace of hard times. Unlike past Christ
mas days, there was very little violence,and
disorder There was no red handed crime
in the city, and the police had very little to
do. The chief sensations were the sinking
of the British ship Lomdy in the harbor
yesterday noon, and the arrest of Cisco, the
negro murderer of Abraham Gurnee at Park
Ridge, Bergen county, \. J., on Tuesday.
Cisco was discovered by a newsboy on the
train going to Patterson. He admits the
crime, which he says was uninteutional.
The New York Press and the Sharon Case.
New YORK December 26th-A Times edi-
torial on the Sharon decision says While
the case has been from the first full of sur
prises, and while the course OF the plaintiff
and her counsel has often been such as to
create prejudice against her. there have
been so many points incompatible with a
hypothesis of bold, wholesale fraud, that
the most cautious observers have hesitated
to form definite conclusions. Judge Sulli-
vans decisions have not often, if ever been
reversed, for he is careful and painstaking
almost to q fault. Henceforth the plaintiff
will find no difficulty in procuring means
OF litigation. since she has now made great
step toward the 100000 or 5000, 900 in
issue.
The World says: Senator Sharon has re-
ceived nice Christmas gift in the shape OF
verdict of divorce in behalf of his left
handed wife, Sarah Althea. This is the

The March OF Heresy.

New YoRK, December 26th.-A Snee edi-
torial says: The charge which Rev DR..
Hague, a Baptist minister, brings against
the Episcopal Church, is very exiraor-
dinary. lie says, in substance, that heresy
is honeycombing its foundations, and that
it is falling into manifest decay. The occa-
sion for his remaks was furnished by a
recent sermon OF Heber Newton; but what
is the reverend Doctor except Christian
socialist? He said the other night, in Stein
way Hall, that the system which makes il
possible for one man 10 own Sl00 900 is
at the core rotten. Bishop Potter himself
is not afraid of modern ideas Bishop
Littlciohn of Long Island is entirely

rary philosophy. Both prelates are not
disposed to hold their clergy 10 the narrow
theological standard and neither is exact
ing enough to satisfy their Baptist critic

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 15.-General
Butler is in the city. but studiously
avoids being interviewed on the political
outlook. His friends say smilingly that
he occupies the same position, as regards
the contest for the Democratic nOmina-
tion at Chicago, that Mr.. Blaine does for
the Republican nomination. He is net
a candidate, but at the same time Is
made glad by the election of delegates
who will favor his nomination. General
Butler proposes tC be in the Democratic
convention IN person, to pay off some
old scores which he has charged up
against certain Democratic leaders. He
may not get the nomination himself, but
he is firmly determined to have voice
in determining who the nominee shall
be. He is understood to Told to the
opinion that the Democrats will make a
mistake if they declare against protec
tiOn in their platform, and that neither

can be Carried for the Democratic nomi-
nees, if the course of Mr.. Morrison and
his hackers in the House on the tariff
question is endorsed.

SOME things will pay on the farm, and
some will not-and one thing that will
not pay is to make an undue mixture OF
politics and agriculture. Every farmer,
in common with every other citizen, has
q right to his political beliefs, should
have well defined opinions ON all ma
ters affecting the public veal, aud should
be unfaiiing in his exercise IF the privi
le2e Of the ballot. There are certain re-
sponsibilities of this kind which nOae
have right TO shirk. This does not
imply, however, that every man should
be politician, or that his duties as an
elector should in any way interfere with
his duties as q farmer. In facI his ubli-
cations in the former capacity are more
apt to be faithfully dischargen if thoS,-
resting upon him as q business man are
not neglected. The presidential year
brings with it an unusual round Of ex-
citement, and is replete with interest 10
every man who loves his country. He
Is weak citizen indeed who has not ii
choice among candidates and parties at
such times, and no one can he blamed
for feeling that the success or tailure To
his par Y is to some extent with him a
personal matter. Yet there are m"re
important things to look after in 1884
than the election of President. Thugs
will not go TO eternal smash unless this
or that candidate is elected. but the,
will move quite rapidly in that direction
unless some other things are done. For
instance, the election of Smith over
Brown will not make up for poor corn
crop, poor wheat crop, or a general
shortage of the products of the farm
The election of weak or unprinciPled
chief magistrate, and the triumph OF
principles which he believes to be hos
tile to his best interests, are certainly
matters to he deplored by every farmer
but if his interests in pOlitl, has leo
him to do poor planting and insufficient
cultivating, and to leave the farm to
take care of itself, he is courting de-
feat ten times more disastrous to him.

litical party can be. Think of this
reader, if you are tempted to neglect
anything for the political crusade, and
remember that three minutes at the polls
in November next will do as much good
for your country as three months wasted
in corner grocery debates and campaign
processions.-StOckman.
