The spanish-American Treaty.


a recent treaty between this country and
Spain, which yet has to be ratified by the
Congress before it becomes operative, meet
ing with great opposition from sugar rehners
and tobacco and cigar manufacturers in this
country. The main features of the treaty
permit the free admission of certain grades
of sugar, and reduce the tariff on tobacco,
raw and manufactured. In return Spanish
markets are opened to American manufac-
lures and products, and favors are granted to
American shipping. From a first glance it
appears to us that the treaty should be ratified
This government is collecting many millions
of dollars annually more than 1t requires
Sugar is an article of everyday consumption
in every family, and should be taxed as low
as the needs of the government permit. The
same is also true of cigars and tobacco.
They are universally used, and also should be
taxed as low as possible. The tax at present
is uniform, levying as much upon the grades
used by the poor as those consumed by the
rich. The greatest good to the greatest num-
Der should be the controlling principle OF
government, and while the provisions Oh the
treaty would interfere with the profits of few
sugar and tobacco growers and manufactur-
ers, the result to the general public, it would
seem, would be very beneficial.
Add to these benefits the advantages to the
trade Of this country in general, by opening
new markets for our products and manutac-
lures, and it would appear that Congress
should not hesitate in confirming the treaty.
More than all else this country needs en-
largement of trade relations Until that be
done there can be no particular revival OF
business. There is over production IN this
country of everything cereals and manufac-
tures-and over-production means business
depression and want among the laboring

resurrection of such eminent Masons as have
died since the last Lodge of Sorrow in 1878.
The ceremonies included music, chanting by
a male chorus, an ''allegory," funeral pro-
cession, and an entombment. The 'allegory.
was performed on a platform draped in black
and adorned with Masonic insignia. On the
platform stood bier sustaining casket COW
cred with pall beside the casket were an
altar and seven branched brazen candlestick.
The allegorical proceedings included pro-
eessions of cowled ''neophytes' and children
strewing flowers; a march of ''aoolytes" and
s'priests ~ the utteranee of the names of the
dead Masons, and the extinguishment of one
light after another as the names were spoken;
an invocation by the 'High Priest !" eulogies
of the deceased brethren by three "High
Priests" and the singing OF requiem, fol-
lowed by ''songs of praise and victory"

Political Prosecutions.

Rev. Robert 7. Jones, Of Ithaca, New York,
is a Republican. So far as known he has not
made himself obnoxious by his politics, and
for several years, at least, has voted the Re-
publican ticket at Ithaca. Last fall, however,
he decided to support Mr.. Cleveland in pre-
ference to Mr.. Blaine. This action so in
eensed the Blaineites that revenge was deter
mined upon. When he exercised his privilege
Of voting according to his convictions, the
Blaineites suddenly discovered that he was
not naturalized citizen, and he was arrested
for illegal voting. At a hearing on Saturday
he was honorably discharged. 1t was of nc
consequence to the Blaineites whether the
Rev. Mr.. Jones was legal voter or not, SC
long as he voted the Republican ticket.
When, however, he chose to vote for an hon
est Democrat over corrupt Republican, the
legality of the act was inquired into. 1t was
but piece of the persecution that has been
practiced upon Independents by the Blaineite:
ever since Blaine's glorious defeat. Honor
able citizens were expelled from clubs and
organizations at the commSnd of ward poll
ticians and bummers in Nesy York and Brook
Ign. Ministers have been prosecuted in varl
GUS places, notably Henry Ward Beecher
Some of the pew holders in his church have
refused to pay rent, but the eminent Brooklyn
preacher is not cast down. He says he is
sorry if he has offended any one, but he does
not apologize, and says he can live on 81 ,5O(
a year now as he has done before. The Mas
sachusetts Independents have also beer
roundly abused for their support Of Cleye
land, but they are not repenting of their &C
ton. On the contrary, they are still organ
lied and propose to support Mr.. CLEVELAND
through his administration in every proper
way. Sowill the New York, Connecticut anC
New Jersey Independents. The INTENDED
snubs and prosecutions have only tended t.
strengthen them in their purpose, and thu
names of a vast number of able and inhuen
tial Republicans will be missing from thu

On Monday, December 10th, VIM. E. Glad
stone, the British Premier, completed his 18th
year, and has been fifty-two yearsin the pub
lie service Notwithstanding his long service,
Mr.. Gladstone is not a great statesman. He
has twice been elevated to the position Of
Premier, but his administrations have not been
successes. He has rather been sentimental
orator, a theorist with the power to impress
his theories on the people. As a practical
statesman, he is failure. Ever since his
entry into public life he has written and talked
necessarily, and volubility has probably been
mistaken for wisdom. Still he is and has
been pure man with lofty ideas of patriotism,
and is entitled to esteem for his good inten-
TONS However else he might have shown
superior to Disraeli, his great political rival,
he is Ear less statesman than was he.

Mr.. Beecher's vindication.


The remarks of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
in Plymouth Church at the conclusion of his
Sunday morning sermon, in which he indulg-
ed in a vindication of his course in the late
presidential canvass, are considered by New
York papers to have had decided effect on
many of those who have been recently quoted
as being disafected towards the Brooklyn
pastor because of his support of Gov. Cleve-
land. Many of the most prominent OF those
alleged to have been 'disaffected'' were con-
spicuous in applauding Mr.. Beeeher, and at
the conclusion of his remarks were among the
most prominent in shaking him by the band
and extending their congratulations.
During his remarks Mr. Beecher explained
that his objection to the Republican party
during the presidential campaign was that
ssafter its splendid record in the conduct OF
the war and in re- establishing the Union, it
failed to crown itself with the last blossom
ing honor by holding out the olive branch
to the South. On this point he said AS
God is my witness | would have shed tears OF
the profoundest joy if in the Republican plat
form there had been even suggestion OF a
welcome to the South, or if one of the Repub-
lican candidates had been Southern man.
Then could have said that the party had
planted and matured the seed, and was wise
enough to pluck the blossom. But the things
that / wanted were not. Then, with convic-
tons as deep as any have ever had in my
life, and after grave consideration and some
doubts, | went into the canvass.
