THE WIEL AND L'ABBRA CLAIMS,

Our Washington dispatches state that
the Senate, in executive session, yester-
day rejected the proposed treaty to re-
open the Wiel and l'Abbra claims against
Mexico. These are two old claims which
have been before Congress in one form or
another for many years, and which were
once settled by an arbitration, awarding
damages in the amount OF 100000. The
Mexican Government, however, COM
planned that the award was procured by
fraudulent representations, that it was
much in excess OF the amount which
could be considered justly due to the
claimants, and that it was gross injus-
tice to ask its payment. In view OF these
complaints, Secretary Bayard recently
entered into II treaty with the Mexican
Minister, under which the award was to
be set aside and the case re-opened, so
that the Mexican Government could be
afforded an opportunity to make good its
allegations and secure modification of
the award. The Senate's refusal to ratify
the treaty, however, is evidence that that
body considers the award just one, and
about the only thing our sister Republic
can do now is to godown in its jeans, as it
We're, and fork over the cash.

THAT ALLEGED LETTER.

The Church organ's crumb CLEANER this
morning publishes what it asserts to be a
verbatim copy OF q letter from Judge
Zane to the President cleveland, not
Taylor advocating the retention OF Mar
shal Ireland in his present position.
Judge Zane, as stated in yester-
days DEMOCRAT, denies that he
ever wrote such letter to the
President, but says he did dictate
one OF similar character to the
proper Department. Independent OF the
gentleman's character and standing,
which are sufficient assurances for his
veracity, there is nothing in the alleged
letter at all improper or out OF place, or
which he would have reason to feel
ashamed of if he had written it. The
Marshal is OF his own political party, and
possesses all OF the qualifications mem
toned, and it was only natural that he
should desire to have him retained.
The question now arises: How did the
crumb cleaner obtain possession of the
letter? 1t is certainly in order for il to
explain, il it expects even its most igno-
rant and credulous readers TO credit its
genuineness. Was it sent from President
Cleveland, or was it taken surreptitiously

THE SECRECY OF THE MAILS.

a year ago murder was committed
near North Platte, Nebraska. One Of
the accessories to the crime has turned
States evidence, and two OF the accom-
plices have been arrested The other,
Eugene Myers, is still at large, and the
Postmaster at North Platte has been re-
quested by the Sheriff and the foreman
of the Grand Jury to detain letters pass
ing through the Office to and from the
Myers family, as it is supposed that
Myers wife knows his whereabouts and
is writing to him. They desire to open
the letters, and after they have read
them send them to their destination
The Postmaster asks the Department ii
he is authorized to permit this to be
done, and, in reply, the Postmaster-Gen-
eral calls attention to the ruling OF the
Department, that under no pretext are
letters to be opened, except by the per-
sons TO whom they are addressed ii such
persons can be found. Neither postmas-
ters, inspectors, employees, nor officers of
the law, are permitted, under any cir
cumstances, to open letters, but they
must deliver them as addressed.
This,says the Winnemucca !SHcer state,
is righteous ruling, as it keeps the Sc
crecy OF the mails inviolate. lfpostmas-
ters and officers OF the law were allowed
to tamper with letters sent through the
mails upon any preteXt whatever, people
would lose confidence in that method OF
communicating with each other. The law
makes it Il criminal oifense for persons to
open letters not addressed to themselves,
and that law must be enforced to the

EFFECT OF CUT RATES.

1t is estimated since the cut rates have
been in force that 1900 permanent set
tiers have arrived in California, creating
q greater demand for land in that State
than has existed in many years. They
are, moreover, Of class which will build
up State by creating wealth from indus
try, most OF the land purchasers being
small farmers who will cultivate the land
they occupy and make such impreve-
ments as will add materially to the rev.
enue resources OF the commonwealth.
Large tracts of land owned by private
individuals and corporations have been
sub.divided and sold in small parcels,
which, with the labor expended upon
them, will prove OF ten times more bene-
eft to the State than as though remain
ing parts OF an undivided whole. The
San Francisco Report estimates that the
few weeks of cut rates have done more to
advance the real interests of California
than five years of the old prices would
have accomplished. In speaking of its
effect, in financial point of view, upon
the principal railroad company Of the
State, the same paper says:
1t might be good idea for the Southern
Pacific Company to go into a little cal
culation on the results of the "cut" and try
to discover lesson there. In five weeks
1900 permanent settlers have come into
California. Perhaps the railroad lost n
little money in bringing them, and perhaps
not, but if it did, it gained 12, 900 permanent
customers. Almost all those coming intend
to live in the country where they must GER
tainly patronize the railroad. If low rates
prevailed for year and the same number of
immigrants arrived each week, the popula-
tion would be increased nearly 125, 600, and
the local business of the railroads would be
correspondingly enlarged.

The news of the confirmation OF Zach
Montgomery OF California as Assistant
Attorney-General will be gratifying to
his numerous friends and admirers all
over the Pacific Coast, His ability and
integrity are unquestioned, but fierce
opposition was urged against him on
account OF his peculiar ideas upon the
question OF public schools-a matter
which could not by any possibility come
before him for official action

A MAJORITY of the House Ways and
Means Committee have reported favor
ably upon the resolution to terminate the
the Hawaiian treaty. This is as it should
be. The treaty was job for the express
benefit of Claus Spreckles, upon the plea
that it would be the means of furnishing
the people OF the Pacific Coast with cheap
sugar. The result has been higher prices
for that article in the West than are paid
for dutiable sugar in the East. The
report shows an immense balance in
favor OF the Islands on duty remission,
and there can be no good reason adduced
for the continuance OF the International
stipulation.
