EUROPEAN PHILANTHROPY.

An international conference com
posed Of representatives OF eighteen
separate powers. including the United
States. met and framed a treaty at
Brussels July ., 1890, which treaty hav-
ing the signatory powers to maintain
such system of stations, post roads
and native police in Central Africa, as
would eventually destroy the twin
curses Of that country, the slave trade
and the rum traffic. That treaty has
been signed by all the powers repre-
scented except this country. Unless the
United Statas shall subscribe to the
treaty by July 2, 1891, it will fall to the
ground, as that is the limit fixed by the
Brussels conference; at least so it is
claimed.

thought it was shame and an indelli-

calls of humanity as to decline
or neglect TO ratify the Brussels
treaty. He urges that the people ask
the president to call congress together

flying the treaty before it becomes 3

Mr.. Stanley only wasted ink and the
gray matter in his brain when he pre-
pared that address. There will be no ex-
ira session called or seriously contem-
plated for such a purpose: neither
would the treaty be endorsed by the
senate if in session now. as it was not
last winter, for what reason, is easily
guessed. Such ratification would be
directly at war with the well known
policy of this country which is to avoid
all entangling alliances. Besides. the

and Senator Reagan gave way and al
lowed himself to be made chairman of
the commission. His letter OF accept
ance was dated April a, following i'm
mediately his decision to serve the peo-
pie of Texas at home, rather than in
Washington City.
The people of Austin knew, as the
whole state knew, that Governor Hogg
wanted Reagan on the commission and
had offered him the appointment some
time before the legislature adjourned;
but the people of Austin could not know
that Senator Reagan had accepted the
appointment, because he had not done
so, but had declined it.

THE success of the Fort Worth pack
ing house has proved beyond question
that the business Of Strengthening and
dressing cattle and hogs can be profit
ably carried on in Texas. This success
Will lead to the establishment of other
Strengthening plants in Fort Worth.
There is almost no limit to the demand
for the products OF the packery. An
other plant, or half dozen other
plants, could hardly supply all that is
called for. 1t would be better for the
packeries themselves to have several
of them in operation in Fort Worth.
BY making the livestock trade OF the
Southwest so identified with Fort
Worth as that OF the West is with
Chicago, the concentration of the pack
ing industry in this city will help every
plant that is put here. The proprie
tors of the Fort Worth packery feel
this so strongly that they will offer
every assistance in their power to bring
others here, for the common advantage
of the whole industry.

DAUGHERTY. |. L, May 5.-The Santa Fe
track and Rock creek bridge, that was so
badly damaged by water, has been temper
arily repaired and trains are now able to
resume their regular runs. Much credit is
due Superintendent Downes for the quick
and effectual repairing and short delay to
passengers. The river is still booming but
continues to fall. No further trouble is
anticipated.
The news agent on the south bound pas
senger that stopped here for dinner to-day
went over to the Texas hotel to participate
in a genuine territory dinner, but before he
had finished the proprietor's son entered
and asked where his gun was, with view
of going hunting. The butch thought he
must be the game he was hunting, and
jumped up from the table and said, Il have
done nothing to be shot for" and ran across
the street and could not be persuaded to get
out of the car or to return. This is his first
trip to the Territory, and he don't think
trains should run through such country.

THERE is great deal of difference
between a manly spirit OF independence
and an idiotic exhibition OF iackassery.
Consul Jack Ewing doesn't appear to
know that there is any such difference,
and therefore he is as likely to indulge
in the one as the other. When he re-
fused, al public dinner in the British
dominions, to show common respect to
the queen of England, he lowered, in
stead of maintained, the dignity OF
American manhood-in so far as an act
of his is capable of lowering it.
