SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

One OF the most enjoyable hops Of the sea-
son took place last night at Prospect House,
Chapel Point, Md, in honor of the Howard
Rifles, who are now in camp at that place. The
hop had in attendance about 800 invited guests,
including a full string band from Balti-
more. After the hop, which lasted four hours,
Mr.. IL. " Tompkins, proprietor of the Pros
pect House, set out an enjoyable supper to
his invited guests. A committee was ap-
pointed from the Howard Rifles to wait on
Mr.. Tompkins and thank him for the courtesy
which he had extended to their company

WASHINGTON, AUGUST "a, 1888.
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Senate having seen fit to reject
the Fisheries treaty. thereby indef-
nitely postponing the settlement of ex-
isting difficulties between the United
States and Canada, the President recon-
mends as the only alternative left for
bringing Canada to terms, such an en-
largement of the retaliatory authority
already lodged in the Executive by the
act of March 3, 1887, as will enable him
not only TO inhibit the entrance of
Canadian vessels into the waters, ports
or harbors of this country, but to abso-
lutely suspend by proclamation all ex-
ports or imports Of Canadian mer-
chandise across American soil, thus in
stituting the complete commercial iso-
lation of the Dominion from the United
States.
1t is no doubt with good deal of re-
luctance that Mr.. Cleveland makes this
recommendation. He has hitherto an
tagonized the retaliatory policy, and not
withstanding continued provocation on
the part of our arrogant neighbor, has
steadily refrained from exercising the
power placed in his hands by the last
Congress, believing that it might create
serious disturbance of business inter-
ests.
Hence, his endeavors-and, as we be-
lieve, honest and sagacious endeavors-
to adjust the long-continued differences
between the two Governments and har-
monize their somewhat strained rela-
tions through treaty covering the
whole ground of dispute and effecting a
permanent settlement.
The action he has now taken is forced
upon him as last resort by the refusal
of the Senate, on purely partisan
grounds, to approve the treaty negotia-
tions agreed upon by the joint commits
sion.
1t is in the nature of a rebuke to the
Senate, but it is much more than that.
1t is intended as an assurance to the
American people that their interests,
however much they may be trif1ed with
at the Capitol end of the Avenue, are to
be scrupulously and patriotically looked
after at the White House end
Whether the adoption of retaliatory
measures is the wiser policy or not it is
the only policy, and therefore the wisest
there is left.
That it will lead to hostile complica
tions is not probable; neither is it likely
to create the business arrangements thai
might have attended its adoption year
ago. The rejection of the treaty has il
measure paved the way for it, and the
country is better prepared for its conse
quences.
The ultimate effect Of the President
course will be to create an imperative
public demand for treaty that Congress
will not dare to reject. or for arbitra
tions that will finally and satisfactorily
arbitrate.

was at one time Mayor of the city, and
when he died he left fortune of $lO,-

Nor LONG AGO A DRUMMER who called
upon General Harrison at Indianapolis
carried off as q memento Of the occasion
one of the picketsof the Generals fence,
which he had turned and polished into
a fine walking stick. All the drummers
caught on to the idea, of course, and as
a consequence the supply of pickets is
about exhausted. Is it not little
ominous that the Republican candidate
for President, this early in the campaign,
should be called upon to look after his
fences right in his own door-yard?

WHATEVER EFFECT the visit Of Mr..
Mckinley to Georgia may have, consid-
ering him as an ambassador of protec-
ton. it is quite apparent from the kindly
reception which was accorded him that
as an ambassador of peace and goodwill
his pilgrimage was great success.
No people in the world admire a
manly man more than the people of the
South. and such man the Ohio Con-
gresham has shown himself to be on
memorable occasions and in memorable
ways. If he were in favor of doubling
the present schedules of customs duties
the sincerity of his convictions would
not be doubted, and he would still be
assured of hospitable welcome from
those whose political prejudices do not
obscure their appreciation of tru
worth.
The conflict of hostile armies in the
field brought the two sections of the
country nearer together than they had
ever been brought before, and resulted
in fraternal understandings that previ-
ously had no existence. So, in times of
peace, the intermingling of citizens long
divided by great gulf of separation on
the partisan issues of the day cannot fail to
aid materially in their ultimate solution
and in harmonizing the diverse views OF
the people,
Said Judge Van Epps of Atlanta, him
self a revenue reformer, in his speech of
welcome to Mr.. Mckinley;
The truth Is the intelligent men of the South
are ever growing moro inpatient Of the sugges
tlon that II Is political treason TO listen to the
other side Of the argument Of great industrial
question seriously affecting their material inter
ests and prosperity.
This is wholesome and encouraging
symptom. II may not foreshadow an
