AN AHRTAPD DILEMMA.

There is not-at least there should not be-a
generous heart in this community that is not
moved to pity these days as it contemplates the
wretched plight in which The EUening Post
finds itself by reason of the appointment OF MT.
Manning to the Secretaryship OF the Treasury
and MIR. Manning's appointment of Mr.. higgins
as appointment clerk of that department.
Well aware that Mr.. Manning was VIGOROUSLY

career demonstrated that he was opposed 10

more shameless surrender of principle on the

order to evade writing Mr.. Manning down as a
boss, writes him down as an ass. Ot what sort
of stuff, pray, is n Secretary OF the Treasury

mended to him for an important public position,

Behold The Posts dilemma. To hold that
Manning is responsible for Higgins is to confess
that he il not an administrative reformerj While
to hold that he is not responsible is to challenge
his fitness, from business point OF view, Tor

Yes, The Post is certainly entitled to full
measure of pity and Mr. Manning may well
yearn to be delivered from ts friendship.

CENTRAL AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

The resolutions adopted by the Senate in
regard to Central American affairs merit praise
for their intention, if not in all particulars for
their expressed reasons. 1t is right that the
United States should protest in the strongest
terms against the invasion of friendly
Republics, and the Senate in promptly second
ing the suggestions of the Adm iDistration has
only given voice to universal public senti-
ment. 1t is perhaps a mistake that the
tendency of treaty with Nicara9 ia regarding
a ship canal should be put forward prominently
as a reason for the interest Of this country in
the events happening in that quarter. The
world knows that the Senate has the treaty
before it and has not ratified it, and that it has
now been withdrawn by desire of the President.
To refer TO that treaty rs an essential element
in the relations of this country with the Repub-
lies of Central America may seem to SAVIOR OF
insincerity. If not, it can only be construed as
an attempt indirectly to commit the United
States In some measure to canal project
which the Senate has thus tar directly rejected.
However, the language OF the resolution in
this respect is less important than its main
object. Apparently, Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa

present state of European markets. We are not
asking the Administration, of course, to attest its
appreciation of the efforts of The TRIBUNE to

THE IDDTTTON5L TREATIES.


TIE TRIBUNE is able to lay before its readers
this morning the full text of four more Oh inc
treaties pending IN the Senate. This Is the lirst
publication of these interesting documents TWO
of which are said to have been ratified yester
day.
In his last annual message to Congress Presi-
don't Arthur wrote With Belgium conven-
. tion has been signed whereby the scope OF Tie
g nresept treaties has been so enlarged as 10
secure to citizens of either country wlVhih 'iio
jurisdiction of the other equal rights anu

q nronertv.n This convention, which is one Oh
tho four which we print, was signed on the 4th
of November last. BY its terms 1t was 10 NC
ratified within six months.
Another of the treaties looks to continuance
for seven years of the existing keclproci''
treaty between this country and the Govern
ment of Hawaii. The Reciprocity treaty was
concluded in 1875 In the message referred 10,
President Arthur wrote respecting this treaty
aSuch continuance [of the provisions OF the
Reciprocity treaty], in view OF the relations Vi
that country to the American system OF STATES
should, in my judgment, be favored"
third of these documents is an agreement
with the Khedive extending certain commercial
and customs regulations so as to make them
anplcable to citizens of the United States. Inc
last of the series is a convention to re|uia'e 'lc
boundary lines between the United States anu
Mexico.
The treaties which are said to have been rati-
fed on Thursday are those relating to this
boundary line and to the Khedive.

The Democracy of Delaware is in a bad way. For

Mr. Bayard which was ready TO break out on the

of Mr. Gray as his successor in the United States
Senate appears TO have only aggravated matters.

on the subject of higgins. When Mr.. Manning, the

was appointed Secretary of the Treasury, the
internal commissions of that organ of Administra-
tive reform" were kept under restraint with the
aid of tremendous doses of cocaine. This heroic
treatment has apparently shattered its nervous
constitution so that it does not venture to have
recourse even to small doses of the same anesthetlc

and convulsed rage because Manning does not
remove Higgins, the man who is like his MASTER
are really shocking to witness.
