Fighting the Administration.

1t looks very much as if the Senate had
determined not to ratify any treaty negotia-
ated by the Mr.. Clevelsnd's admi abstraction,
however meritorious it might be. On Fri
dav it rejected the extraditIon treaty which
Minister Phelps negotiated with Great
Britain, and few months ago it rejected
the fisheries treaty, which was the work of
a JOINT commission.
The extrGdition treaty had strong friends
in the Senate, and the objections TO it,
which its enemies raised, were of doubtful
force. But, admitting that the objections
were such as would be sustained bv the
majority Of the people. would it not
have been a wiser course to have pointed
them ont, with the reasons for then, and
asked Great Britain to give them careful
consideration, with the view of removing
them! It is admitted that this couptry is
greatly in neel Of treaty that will prevent
certain classes Of c. iminals from ii ding
refuge in Canada. The main purpose of
tie trea'-Y which the Senate has Just re-
fused TO ratify, so far as this country Is
concerned, was TO reach these criminals.
1t will be n difficult matter to get Great
Britain TO enter into negotiations for an
ocher eXtradition treaty. Her experience
lately with this country ia the treaty
making business has not been such as to
make her alxi DIS 10 negotiate other treaties.
1t IS not unavoidable that tie objections
to the fisheries treaty could have been re-
moved il negotiations for that purpose had
been suggested. The Senate, however, re-
In

The cours1 which 1t pursued with respect to
both treaties Seems to. justify the suspicion
that it was influenced more by hostility t.

that the interests of this country weie not
fairly dealt with.

c intiuue his aggt essve acts, with the ulti-

A Typhoid Fever EPIDEMIC.

Smallpox ha been mo prevails t than
usual in some northern towns this winter,
in others typhoid fever ras ragged to an
of Chicago, it is known that there are 1856
cates of typhoid fever, and some of the ply
sciaus assert that the number is not less
taan 800.
TYP old fever generally can be traced to
some local cause, such as bad sewerage, i'm
pure water, ctc. L. this instance me Of
the physicians think it is owing 20 what the
profession calls complication Of causes,
others say it is owing TO impure water,
others TO the turning over Of new soil,
whereby much deconpo5ed vegetable and
animal matter has been exposed 90 the sun,
and yet others 20 the mild weather. The
health commissioner asserts that it is owing
to the weather. but the opinion most gencr-
ally accepted is that impa.e water is the
cause.
Whatever the cause is, Lake View is
in deplorabe coalition, and it is very
fortunate for her people that the fever is
not Of the severest type. As 1t Is, the num-
Der Of deaths is great enough TO cause alarm
and even CONSERVATION, and it is possible
that Lake View lie worse Of than some
Florida towns we're during the yellow fever
epidemic last summer. Typhoid fever is
really more dangerous than yellow fever,
and the only reason it is not feared more is
that IL is not contagious or infectious.
These outbreaks of typhoid fever should
cause the authorities Of southern towns to
put fortn greater efforts TO keep their towns
in a reasonably good sanitary condition.
Generally not as much attention is paid TO
sanitation measures in southern towns as
there ought to be. marsh, neglected
well, or an accumulation of refuse matter
are causes Of fever

The Sleighing Season.

From the Boston Courier
When a little cold would please us,
When we sigh for brl cling breezes,
There is nothing more depressing than Janu-
airy thaw.
When for days and days together
We have mise rable weather,
And the rain is dripping, dripping, and the air
is damp and raw.
How 'twould maze the pulses tlngle
Just to hear the sleigh bells jingle.
And to see the hor es prancing Ger the ice-in-
crusted snow.
Their finest PAGES showing,
The drivers noses glowing,
To hear the merry laughter and the shouts
glang and mo-
How 'twould make the heart to hutter
To be seated in cutter
With a young and charming damsel--who'd
object to he so placed
Behind pair of PAGERS.
Leading all the other racers.
With one arm the LCrSas guiding and the other
round Ler waist,
- Nest delicious situation!
Most delightful occupation!
There's nothing Goes with greater Joy the
lovers bosom fill,
But IA At there alloy is,
ShOltltced indeed The Joy is.
For after 1t IS over must be met the livery bill.

Edmunds Couldn't Have the Horse.
n the Washington Post.


Some OF Senator Edmunds friends learned
from him the other night for the first time about
his experiences in buying a horse in Virginia.
Down near Roanoke there is owned splendid
black stallion that is the pride OF the section.
This horse was used in several places during the
exciting Lee-Wise guberna1 oral campaign,
when the cavalry and Cavalcade business was
carried to such extent The beautiful stal-
lion was ridden by Gen. Lee who sat upon his
uncle's saddle and made a gallant appearance.
Senator Edmunds, who is fond of horse back
riding and has come pretty near getting his
neck broke several times from riding spirited
horses, sent an agent TO buy the noted horse.
The owner questioned the agent, who said he
represented party in Washington Negotia-
tions went on agreeably almost to the close
whe0 the agent mentioned Mr.. Edmuuds.
What Ednunds is teat?'' asked tine owner.

well, you can call this business OF right

The Madison Affair.

1t is probable that the reports that an
attempt was made to assassinate Mr. Frank
w. Pope at Madison, Fla, GU Thursday
night were greatly exaggerated. But
whether they were or not the authorities Of
Madison county, and Of the city of Madison,
ought to make thor ugh investigation Of
them. II there was an attempt to assassi-
nate Mr.. Pope those who wers concerned
in it ought 20 be arrested aud punished 10
the full extent Of the law. No sympathy
ought t. be shown them. The good name
OF Florida is involved in this matter and
the people of that state cannot afford to
have it sta ned with political crimes.
1t is certain that the people Of Florida
have no sympathy with political violence Of
any sort. They believe in permitting every
one TO entertain whatever political opinions
he pleases and they will not be true to them
selves, and will fail in their duty to their
state, if they do not condemn in the strong
est TO ms any attempt TO check free speech
and free action in political matters. The
people Of Madison should lend the officers
of the law all the assistance they may need
In apprehendi g those who threatened to
assassnate Mr. Pope.
II the reports of the attempted as3asslna-
ton are grossly exaggerated, that fact
ought 20 be made known. The truth should
be published as soon as possible A few
days ago prominent republican politician
was assassluated in Arkansas lie WAS
taking testimony in an election case, and
already the republican p ess is making pJ-
liticel capital out Of the tragedy Mr. Pope
was an independent republican candidate
for governor of Florida in 1894, and he
went to Ma Olson 70 take testimony in a con-
tested election case. II it be true that an
attempt was made to assassinate i'm, his
case and Claytoa's will be used for partisan
purposes, rot only in the contested election
cases IN the next cong ess, but also to secure
Legislation unfavorable TO tho south.
1t may be that TIN hostility to Mr.. Pope
in Madison has nothing to do with politics.
If that is the case, the demonssra'iJn
against him had no political Significance
1t is tie political colorilg that IS given to
the attempt to essass.nate Mr.. Pope that is
calculated to damage Florida.
Florida hes q strong R:publical party,
aud at the last election cast 4 large repgbli-
can vote. A republican in that state is rs
much respec cd as a democrat and is as f,ea
to express hi; political opinions. Mr.. Pope
therefore, could hardly have been attacked
because he was a epublican, or because
was counsel for republican i contes ed

feeling in Arkansas that Congressman
Breckinridge should refuse to take his seat
in the next congress. and that he should
join in call for new election. No doubt
this feeling prevails in that part Of Arksn-

office Why should Mr.. Breckenridge re-

elected lie is a very accommodating gen
