New York and Washington Airline.

The Quarryville SIN has railroad
project i'll view, which is for Cecil and
Hartford counties to secure a charter to
build a railroad from the Pennsylvania
line down Conowingo creek, and through
Hartford to somewhere else, the objective
points being Baltimore and Washington.
The Delta Herald and Times seconds the
Suns air-line-especially the air part
very heartily.
We can assure our public spirited neigh
bors that there will be no difficulty in the
way of getting charter when our 1egis-
lature meets in 1898. A terrapin supper
will purchase a charter for anything in
Maryland outside of Baltimore-a fran
chise in the city costs more.
The Quarryville Snn rather effusively
says: "Such charter would attract the
attention of capitalists at this time as a
sound business Investment.
We hold few grains of doubt about
that, unless the Sun means it as a joke.
We fear our neighbor of the Sun has not
been out among the business men"
since the election. They are all on the
fence, opera glass in hand, scanning the
horizon to catch glimpse of conf
dence" and prosperity these gemini of
the political zodiac which were to appear
directly after McKinleys election, accord
ipo to oo1dhuo octro1ouare
They reported on the fourth of Novem-
Der that the shadows Of the heavenly
pair were plainly visible, but as they
failed to heave in sight, the skeptics de-
clared that it was the shadow of the man
in the moon they saw.
Dun and Bradstreet who are kept in
the business news" observatory watch
ing the signs, both report that neither
confidence" or prosperity" have yet
appeared and slightly hint they are losing
confidence in McKinley's horoscope that
Mark Hanna cast for him.
This being the condition of affairs, and
the "era of prosperity" which the Sun
bases its hopes of success upon being still
in that undiscovered country, we fear our
enthusiastic friends Of Quarryville and
Delta are doomed to disappointment in
their railroad enterprise. But if they
hold on to the faith Of New York and
Washington airline along Conowingo
creek, we believe we can safely promise
them they can get charter when our
next legislature meets if they can raise a
terrapin supper.

Funny Reasoning.

The Appeal in speaking of the
possibility of ex- governor Brown
formerly knownas GARNER Brown"
taking the leadership of the Mary
land democratic party says:
''The ex-governor was absent in
Europe throughout the presidential
campaign, and has not expressed
himself on the dominant issue; con-
sequently he would not arouse the
antagonism of the silver wing of
the party, and would, of course, be
acceptable to the gold faction"
We would like to see how the
Appeal would explain that "of
course" explanation. If"of course"
the ex-governor is on the goldbug
side, the silver men would be
against him.

Does Grover Cleveland Intend to Sur.
render the United States
to England

~ ENSIdnO
If Rule of the published treaty be-
tween England and the United States re-
garding the boundary of Venezuela, is to
fol ever define the Moroe Doctrine declared
for and by the United States, then that
Doctrine is not worth anything.
This Rule reads as follows: adverse
holding or prescription during period of
fifty years shall make good title. The
arbitrator may deem exclusive political
control of district as we'll as actual set
Element thereof sufficient to constitute
adverse holding or to make title by pre-
scription."
(The word prescription" means, "To
claim title to thing on the ground of
use and enjoyment" The words adverse
holding" mean "Squatter possession, or
their claims rs squatters ~
This Rule I, is complete destruction
of the principles of arbitration which the
treaty is supposed to uphold,
Instead of submitting the boundary to
arbitrators, Rule I says to those $50
called" arbitrators at the START "You
have no choice as arbitrator but are CON-
PEELED by the treaty to grant all the
British claims TO territory that it can
ether forge or practically justify or
upon which any English squatter has
settled or so claims for fifty years."
If that hereafter is to be international
law, then England can hoist its flag over,
and lay valid claim to, large parts of our
United States at once.
If that is to be established precedent of
good law, then there is hardly piece of
real estate or mining right in any of the
South or Central American States, that
Great Britain cannot claim and use for
its own benefit, upon the claim of some
British squatter, real or imaginary, that
he has been in possession for fifty years.
In other words, Rule I, in its arbitrary
transfer of nationalities without compen-
sation, knocks the Monroe Doctrine into
cooked hat. Worse than that, there
remains no Moroe Doctrine, and even no
national right of possession by home
people ever after, to interfere with the
claims of any foreign power whether it
be England or Spain or any country,
upon the soil of North, South or Central
America, wherever single subject of
such foreign power chooses to lay squatter
claim thereto for fifty years
To sum up, this treaty reduces the
Monroe Doctrine and our Washington
Administration to farce.
Should Venezuela ratify it. it would do
the stupidest act of its existence; because
it would in point of fact give away to
England its very existence as an indie
pendent State.

believe Butler is inwardly glad now
that the circular was published, leav-
inc him free to exempt the Populists
from the responsibility. The circular
has shown the Republicans that they
were being held up by desperate man,
and Walser is handing out the wad.
This part of the story was amply
foreshadowed 10y my mention of Amis
and Gill; who stood out against the
circular and for the old fusion. More
over. Shuford made strong suggestions
to Butler to take out the 100000 fea-
ture, and Butler and Shuford have been
extremely thick for five weeks. More
over Mr.. Butler said to me this morn
ing that he had been accused in some
papers of denying the circular He
asked me to say that ne had never
denied that he had written it; that
what was there were his private views
but that now he had decided that
neither that circular nor the later 500
words modified circular should go out
officially, as upon reflection he had
determined that his private views
should not forestall the expression of
The party, which, he said, would be
heard in Raleigh on the 10th of April,
the day in which, he said, the Populist
Executive committee would meet at
Raleigh. Mr.. Butler said then the Pop
Mist committee would meetthe Repub-
lican committee which had been APP
pointed and formulate plan Of fusion
So that Mr.. Butler has been playing
a game to farm the Goyernorship, az
least, out of the Republicans. They
will gladly give this up now II they can
only keep Pritchard, and Pritchard, no
doubt will forgive and forget If only
he can be kept.
Then comes the sequel, which would
be funny if it were not pathetic. DIR.
Mott, imagining that the engagement
between the Republicans and Butler
was declared off by Buffers circular,
which he thought went off duly by
mail, knowing nothing of its with
drawal. rushed to Buffers side as the
next sutton Butler smiled and ac-
cepted, but with an averted eye on his
old stand by. So Mott gave me the
above interview, swearing eternal vows
to his about-to-be.
But not yet. Here comes Walser.
The old love returns, as perhaps it
would never have departed, and poor
DR.. Mott gets the marble heart. Young
Walser gave me some chaff to-day
about DR.. Motifs wanting Marshall for

that his name be not used:
This discovery that General Bragg had
been a free-silver man in 1893 and even
went so far as to write a letter expounding
his views was a most unpleasant circum-
stance, and while we have no doubt in the
world of his loyalty to our cause now and
believe that he has always been honestly
sincere in his convictions, yet we feel that
it might weaken our cause to have him at
the head of the ticket. I think that the
convention will turn to another man, and
I also believe that General Bragg will most
heartily indorse that man. 1 think Mr..
Villas would accept the nomination if he
did not feel that it would be considered
treachery on his part to allow his name to
be used at all while Wisconsin stands by
