In the executive session of the Senate on
Friday Senator Edmunds made a very strong
speech in favor of the ratification of the
Nicaragua treaty, taking the ground that
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is obsolete. He
claimed that Great Britain violated this in
strument by establishing proiectorate over
the Bay Islands and colonizing British Hon
duras; and again in 1862 while the United
Staes was engaged in civil war by making a
separate treaty with Nicaragua and guaran-
teeing protection to that republic. There is
no doubt that the Nicaragua treaty would be
promptly ratified If the Clayton -Bulwer
treaty were out of the way. If this agree
ment has not been broken by England to
ratity the Nicaragua treaty would be tanta-
mount TO the repudation by the United
States of solemn compact with Great Brit
ain. The Uuited States cannot afford even
for the sake of maintaining her supremacy in
this hemisphere to violate an agreement
with another nation. If England, however,
has already broken the treaty of course the
United States is absolved from all engage
ments under it.

President Arthur has sent to the Senate
the name of Andrew S. Draper of Albany to
be judge of the court Of Alabama claims.
Mr.. Draper is the gentleman who fought SO
bard at the Republican State convention in
New York last summer to secure an Arthur
delegation to the National Convention.
While Mr.. Draper's nomination may not be
positively bad, it is by no means SO good a
one as might have been made The selec-
tion of Mr.. D. W. Fessenden of this citv,
who for some time past has been clerk of
the court, would have been far better and
have given better satisfaction. Mr.. Fessen-
den is thoroughly acquainted with the bust
ness of the court, he was the choice of the
present judges of the court, and the bar of
District of Columbia had recommended him
With great unauimity. His rejection and the
appointment Of Mr.. Draper cannot fail under
the circumstances to convey the impression
that the President was more anxious to re-
ward faithful political worker than to Sc
lecl the fittest man for the position.

The Advertiser alleges that the Rev. Mr..
Munson's crusade against rumseIIers is con-
fined very largely to particular class Of
rumsellers. We think the Advertiser must
have been misinformed. Mr.. Munson, we
believe, is too honest man and leo sincere
a friend of the prohibitory law to undertake
TO prostitute it to partisan ends.

From tie Ne.o York Pharmaceutical Journal, Dec.
"a 1884.
During a visit to Boston month ago we devoted
an hour to a call on MIR. A. l.. Mnrdock, that we
might satisfy ourselves more fully on some Of the
points desired to know about the Liquid Food"
referred to in our pages on several occasions. We
visited the establishment and saw much of the pro-
cess its preparation, and putting it in shape Tor
distribution ON its errand of mercy. Cleanliness
scrupulously deserved in every step OF the pro-
cess the method is in strict accordance with science
and sound principles; and tho product is in every
respect what is claimed for it thoroughly rep
resentatve nutritious food of properties more heal
ing and nonrishing than others.
A look through the hospital satisfied US that its
merit in restoring health to the puny fOundpgs
der the of that institution is not overstated,
for we saw some that were apparently in splendid
condition, who when admitted were puny, sick, de
filed with corruptive sores, and thought beyond
help. Their only treatment was "Murdock's Liquid
Food and they bade fair to obtain robust health
as the most favored
Other cases we have seen in adults quite as mar
velous This article should never be forgotten
when such remedy s available or can be nsed with
propriety.

MIR. KENNAN,s LECTURE.

The Close of ~ DelightfuI Course.
Mr.. George Kcnnan, at the Congroga-
iional Church last evening, delivered tho
last Of series of six as interesting and de-
lightful lectures rs were ever delivered in
this city. The lectures were all based upon
Mr.. Kennan's travels in Asiatic Russia.
They have been replete with valuable in
formation, put together in tho choicest Of
English and delivered in a bright and
fascinating manner. They have all been
so good that it would be almost impossible
to say which was the best. That one on
THE Exiles of Siberia" was perhaps the
most striking
1t was the most striking because IL wholly
overturned preconceived ideas of the treat
ment and condition of the exiles. BY no
means an unimp0rtant feature of Mr.. Kon-
mans delightful lectures has been tho deli
cate wit and humor which pervaded them.
There was no effort at either. The wit and
humor came out as simple matter of
fact, and were for that reason the moro en-
ioyable. Mr.. kennan's apparent absolute
Ignorance that he was saying anything
laughable was very happy adj unct to hts
fascinating delivery. His last lecture, that
Of last evening, was about the Highland
ers of Daghestan." IL was as interesting as
IL could be. His pictures of life in the
Eastern Caucasus were vivid and full Of
the deepest interest.
1t is unfortunate that not more people
have attended Mr.. Kenuan's lectures-un-
fortunate for the absent ones. He has had
bad weather all along for his lecture nights,
which is one reason that the Congrega-
tional Church has not been filled. Every
ono who has heard him has been most
highly pleased. Mr.. Kennan will deliver
his lectures in Cincinnati in March. Gin
cinnati is to bo congratulated.

ConerntulAting Mr.. Evar.s.

Mr.. Evarts has received numerous cou-
gratulations upon his election to the United

said last night;
"Of course, am very much gratilied
with my election, and | shall do my best
to prove worthy of the honor. | shall
not go to Albany, but will keep on as If
nothing had happened. As to eongratula-
tions-yes, have received great many
from men of Importance in all parts Of tho
country. Many Of the kilograms received
Today were from members of the opposite
political party, who have expressed ap-
proval of my selection, and these tributes,
as you may imagine were by no means the
less gratifying on that account"
Mr., Blaine's telegram of congratulation
was as follows;
j congratulate the State of New York
and the Republican party Of the Nation"

Rishop Paret tn Raltimore.

Right Rev. William Paret, the newly
elected Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the
Diocese Of Maryland, paid his first official
visit to Baltimore yesterday, aud last
night he opened a missionary conference at
st. Mary's Chapel in the interest of colored
people. The new bishop has always been
deeply interested in the religious welfare
of the cOlored race, aud in his address last
night he said he proposed to inaugurate ac-
tive measures for the spread of religion
among them. Nearly all the Protestant
Episcopal ministers in the city were pres
sent at the conference, as also were Rev. DR..
Fletcher, of New Yorh, secretary to the
domestic committee of the board Of mis-
sions; Bishops Dudley, of Kentucky, and
Lyman, of North Carolina.
Addresses were made by Rev. w. w.
Newton, of Pittsfeld, Mass, and Rev. Ed
ward Osborne, Of Boston. Bishop Parot
proposes to establish fund to be known as
the bishops penny" which will be de-
voted TO mission work and be raised by a
monthly subscription. of one penny from
each cOlOred Sunday scholar.

wandered into tho chicken coop, where he
laid down, went to sleep and was found IN
thai condition. Nothing had been stolen
and there WAS no evidence to show any in.

A Pastor for congregational church.

The members of the Congregational
Church, at a meeting last evening, decided
to extend call to the Rev. S. NJ. Newman,
of Ripon, Wis, to succeed tho Rev. DR..
Rankin in charge Of that church. Letters
were read from leading members of the
Congregational Church throughout the
country, testifyiDg to the high character
and ability of Mr.. Newman and state
ment of his belief before the council which
established his pastoral relations at Ripon.
The records Of the council which dissolved
Mr.. Newmans connection with the church
at Taunton, Mass, were also read, showing
that the nominee had been held in high
esteem by his previous associates. After a
full interchange of opinions the committee
was unanimously instructed to transmit
the call to Mr.. Newman. A committee of
five was appointed to cooperate with a
similar committee from the society to ar.
range suitable reception for the pastor
elect 1t was decided to allow the pastor
$4,000 per annum, $500 for removal ex-
penses, and vacation of six weeks.

the recognition they received at the hands
of their States. When man has been hon.

try he deserves success. There are several
United States Senators TO be yet elected

WITH undsmayed confidence and cour-
age the ladies rally year after year at the
National Capital to renew the demand for
suffrage, and to review the trials aud tri-
umphs which the cause has undergone in
the twelve months that have flown since
last they met. Year after year the ladies
assemble from all portions of tho land and
cry out for their rights and resolve that
they are little nearer to their accom-
plishment than at the previous convention.
II is true that locks are growing whittier,
and that age and death have devastated the
soldierly ranks, but there are new recruits,
and better than this there are moro school
trustees, and legislative clerks, and deputy
maIshalesses, and postmistresses, and COM
mon council women, and iurywomen among
their numbers, and so the good cause goes
bravely on, and the spark of hope is kept
from going out.
The good ladies do not receive an over
whelming amount of encouragement at the
White House, the Capitol, or in political
conventions, but they are undaunted.
