Gen. Butler on the Treaty.

Gen. Butler, by reason of having
been a member of congress from the
Essex district in Massachusetts, which
is the headquarters of the greatest
fishing industry in this country, gain
ed special knowledge of the whole
subject and this makes his opinion
upon the recently negotiated treaty
of even greater interest than that of
an acute lawyer with original views.
In a two-column interview in the
Boston Journal he makes a thorough
analysis of the treaty, reviews the
history of the fisheries and our rela-
tions with Canada and Great Britain
growing out of them, and then sum-
marizes and concludes as follows:
What the secretary of state needed
to secure in behalf of the United
States was: First, sufficient guaran-
tees for the protection of our com
mercial rights; second, fair trial for
the fishermen when subjected to cap
ture and, third, immunity from the
merely local enactments of Canada
and recognition that the fishery is
sues are between the United States
and the British government and not
between the United States and the
Dominion of Canada. But the out
come of the negotiation shows that

humanity, and ours already at public
law and fifth, consummated our ma
tional humiliation by agreeing to sub

ed for by this treaty, to the British
government before they shall go into
effect.
My friend, l have spent a great
deal more time over this treaty than
| meant to, but l have given you only
some of the prominent points which
show that this treaty is simply, as
was the treaty of Washington in
1871 and the Halifax arbitration of
the fishery question, surrender of
the rights of the United States, and
the dignity and power of her people,
to the social influence at Washington
of the British aristocracy.
That is about what the common
people, who have seen less of Wash
ington than Gen. Butler has, strong
ly suspected. Before we ever con-
clude treaty with Great Britain, lei
US make sure of an American admin
istration to negotiate it.

Some apparently honest party pro-
hibitionists claim that there is no diff
ference in the old parties in regard to
temperance. Some are SO ignorant
as to declare that the democratic par
ty, as a party, is more friendly to
temperance legislation than the re-
publican party. They might write
down in their memorandum the fol-
lowing: 1.-The legislature of New
Jersey in the winter of 1888 passed
local option, high license bill, nearly
all republicans voting for it, all the
democrats in the senate and nearly
all in the house voting against it.
Governor Green, a democrat, vetoed
the bill, and the legislature passed it
over his veto, the republicans being
solid for the measure"

A Strong Word for Gen. Harrison.

General Harrison's great personal
popularity with the soldiers, and in
deed all classes of his state, insures
a republican majority in Indiana
should he be nominated. His cham
pionship of the cause of Dakota and
his western location and associations
would prevent the possible loss of
Minnesota or Michigan, the two other
close Western states-by no means a
trivial consideration. His senatorial
record makes him strong upon the
Pacific coast, in Tennessee and in
Virginia while in the latter state the
historic associations of his family
name would be a tower of strength.
No Western man can come to the
doubtful Eastern states with equal
strength. That candidate who, hold
ING Minnesota and Michigan, carries
Indiana and one other state carried
by Cleveland in 1884, will be elected.
Who else can insure Indiana?
Who else is equally strong is Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, or, with a local
candidate for Vice-President, even in
New Jersey OF Connecticut? With
every patriotic republican this should
be matter of candid judgment. To
such it must be evident that the NOM
nation of General Harrison would
insure harmony and victory.-N. Y.

the vice presidential nomination in
1884 was offered in turn to Robert
Lincoln and Judge Gresham and that
both refused it simply because they
would not accept the second place.

The President and Mrs. Cleveland
returned safely from their trip to
Florida. They are said to have had
a very enjoyable excursion. The
Florida papers are full of compli-

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Brattleboro Phonir, believes the re-

that James G.. Blaine is out of the

catch the drift of feeling there is re-

to go into the fight again. The party

There is now before congress a
proposition which will at once reduce
the troublesome surplus and give the
protectionist manufacturers an oppor-
tunity to continue their present high
tariff taxes. 1t is proposed by Messrs.
Weaver, Anderson and Hovey, house
greenbackers, to secure an approprl-
alton to pay every union soldier the
difference between the value of the
greenback money which he received
for his wages and the par value of
the greenback in coin at the time.
They say that the contract with the
soldier was that it should be paid in
coin and he was not paid in coin !;
that he isl preferred creditor of the
government and as much entitled to
consideration as the bOndhOlder !;
that the soldiers have not been treat
ed justly, and that measure OF this
sort will secure their hearty support.

In the debate over the bill granting
pensions to ex-Union soldiers and
sailors incapacitated for performing
manual labor, Senators Black burn and
Beck of Kentucky denounced the
grand army of the republic in strong
terms as a political organization. The
latter alluded TO the veterans as sSben-
efciaries, as though. when disabled
from wounds or sickness during the
war, they were paupers and not le-
gitimate claimants for aid from the
government they helped to save. This
fairly illustrates the democratic love
for the soldier of whom we hear SO
much nowadays.

While the national senate is giving
to the Nicaragua project the indorse-
ment which incorporation implies, a
large engineering party is pushing
the final surveys of the route through
the tangled Nicaraguan thickets from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. Three
fourths of this route is already built
bv nature. From the harbor of
Grevtown on the Caribbean sea to
the port of Brito on the Pacific is
distance of 10 miles. By utilizing
the river San Juan, the basin of the
San Francisco and Lake Nicaragua
$50 miles of natural water transit is
gained, leaving only forty miles of
actual excavation to be done. The
summit of the continental divide to
be cut through is the lowest depres-
sion of the isthmus.

Mr.. w. w. Corcoran, the distln-
guished banker and philanthropist of
Washington, who died on Friday, was
born in Georgetown, d, c., in 1898.
In connection with two brothers he
failed in business in 1928, paying in
full all confidential debts, and COM
promising with their remaining cred
itors at the rate of fifty per cent. A
score of years later, when again sue
cessful in business, Mr.. Corcoran
disbursed $4,000 in absolute dis
charge, debt and interest, of the La
bilities incurred in 1928. During the
latter years of his life, plans of be-
neyolence have taken foremost
place in his thoughts and it is esti-
mated that his charities, including
private ones, exceed the aggregate
amount of So, 100000. The Corcor-
an Art Gallery in Washington is his
enduring monument.

there is little else to offer by the Govern
ment. 1t IS not engaged in trade or
manufactures, nor does il control either
TO any extent and therefore cannot offer
work. What can be done Is 10 invite
the introduction OF new industries by
bounties or other wise measures. The
Offering Of bounties has been done, bat
it must be confessed with little success
thus far. The plain English Of the mat
ter is this: if the country lacks enter
prising and far-sighted citizens it viii not
20 ahead. At the present time large
part Of the capital Of the country is de-
voted to the sugar industry, which makes
some few rich and ruins more who take
hold Of it, but does not produce a per
manent population of intelligent resi-
dents

pours out the Walls of his wrath in the
Bulletin of this evening on all unfortun-
ate Government employees. He must
be what good many young ladies are
not, viz: misinfcrmed, or else has been
disappointed in obtaining Government
position. Anyhow, if he chooses to
launch out in diatribes, let him speak
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth. We can stand lot of
nonsense, but we will not stand, to use a
very mild word, " romancing' and in
suit. He evidently has missionary"
on the brain and that is what leads the
poor fellow astray. The "Pinafore"
business about the uncles, cousins. and
aunts is simply ridiculous, and we can
afford to laugh at it, but when he comes
to insulting the Government EMPLOYEES
by calling them nincOmpoops. j." the
only conclusion we can draw is that the
writer has a shingle loose, or has written
the letter in question out of sheer malice
in being disappointed in obtaining a
Government position.

THE streets are sufficiently disfgured

posts. The franchise granted the tele-
phone companies gives them nothing
more than the right to Use the streets for
conducting wires. 1t is to be feared that
steps will be taken to forfeit the fran
chise if the companies permit the posts
to be used to still further disfgure and
disgrace the city. At present many OF

is population. This may be qualified by
adding population of fixed character.
This we can't have until land is obtaina-
BILE in small tracts for actual settlement.
We have homestead law, but very lit
tie use has been made of it yet. All that
has been done has been accomplished
by the present administration. The law
was passed during the Gibson admins
tration, but not by the Government. 1t
was suffered to pass as tub is thrown
to a whale, to satisfy in a way not likely
to interfere with the land-grabbing de-
signs of people. After it's passage large
tracts of available land were disposed of
In defiance of the law. Mr.. Gibson
leased large tracts on Lanai, and that
without notice and sale by auction as
elsewhere required. We do not believe
that all possible has been done by the

tracts have been disposed of without of
fering them piecemeal to small settlers,
