The Nicaraguan Treaty.

The London Times has started the
English howl against the Nicaragusn
treaty, and, as was to be expected, falls back
on the Clayton wer treaty. 1t says that
the proposed treaty is in direct violation of
the Clayton-Bulwer instrument.
The Pail Mall Gazette and the 81. James
GGsette join in with the Times. They all
revert to the Clayton -Bulwer treaty, but
make no reference to the fact that England,
in acquiring proprietary rule over the mos.
quito coast years ago, violated the Clayton
Bulwer Convention. 1t is on that ground
that the Government proposes to abrogate
or disregard the treaty upon the provisions
of which the English press is laying so

THERE lisa false impression current that
wing of the local Democracy feels dissatis.
fed and resentful because its representa-.
tives were conspicuously omitted from tho
committee on Inauguration arrangements.
The bittor disputes of four years ago
ceased with the appointment Of a committee,
and it is SO in this instance.
There appears to be perfect harmony.
The present committee was appointed by
and is under the direction of the National
Democratic Committee; for this reason no
member of the National Committee could
be selected for the local committee, and Mr..
VIM. Dickson's absence from among the fifty
Is thus fully explained.
The younger champions who were con-
ipicuous throughout the campaign and
whose names do not appear in the present
list will doubtless be represented upon the
subcommittee and will put on tho regali a
on Inauguration day.

The District Committees have discov-
cred at last that there are some inconsis-
tencies in local laws.
The favorable action upon bill to allow
suits for damages to be instituted by rela-
tives Of persons who are killed by negl-
gence or accident, is move in the right
direction.
1t is singular fact that If man is
MANNED by falling pole or shifting en-
gine damages can be legally recovered, but
in the event of his death no proceedings
can be entertained.
This is but one Of the many glaring in
consistencies and injustices of our defective
code.
