Mr.. James Rowland of this village,

wife has been sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain g
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store and

or a pain and finds that it always gives
relief. He says that no medicine

Enough may possibly be developed by
this weeks debate on the arbitration
treaty in the Senate to determine its fate
The agreement is certainly far nearer ratifi-
cation to-day than IL was fortnight ago.
thanks to the thorough work done upon 1t
by the Foreign Relations Committee. II 1t
should be ratified at all before the 4th OF
March, to that body large share OF the
credit will be due.
What the committee has done, Ia to exclude
from the agreement questions that threat
encd American interests or involved doubt
and anxiety about those interests. One OF
its amendments, that which strikes out the
provision for making the King Of Sweden
the umpire where the arbitrators appointed
by England and the United States cannot
agree upon one has 40 generally commended
itself to public opinion that the matter has
almost ccas Il to be discussed.
Two other amendments take short cut
toward ratification, through windings In
which otherwise the project would have
been hopclcssly lost. One of them declares
that "no question which affects the foreign
or domestic policy Of either OF the high
contracting parties or the relations Of
either to any other State or power, by
treaty or otherwise. shall be a subject for
arbitration under this treaty, except by
special agreement" This sweeping pro-
vision, in leaving the machinery OF arbitra-
ton ready for usa, practically allows the
parties to decide hereafter whether they
will use H. in any question which affects
foreign or domestic policy"
In Article VII. there has been further
and remarkable change. Itnow allows either
party. lat any time before the close OF the
hearing upon any matter except territorial
claims" to withdraw from the arbitration
on its declaration that 1.-THE determination
Of such matter necessarily involves the de-
cision OF disputed question which is ex-
rirhcd from arbitration, except by special
agreement" Thereupon the jurisdiction Of
the tr!bunnl over the matter is to cease.
The Foreign Relations Committee has
hecn subjected to abuse from some unthink-
ing people, but IL has done vast work
toward making ratification possible. With
out that work the treaty might not
have had ghost OF chance, GER
tainly before the 4th OF March. As
the matter stands now, when any
Senator in executive session suggests a
matter OF American national interests,
which may be sacrificed under the treaty,
the amendments Of the Foreign Committee
will be examined to see IL they relieve that
fear, and If not, their language can be
made still broader, in order to cover it.
The principle OH which the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee has evidently acted is that,
with the machinery OF arbitration once
tend its operation as experience may war
rant, or by special agreement; whereas
disaster might result from careless or
experimental submissions OF questions
which ought never to go to arbitration.

A Tremendous Revelation.

We have received many more letters dis
cussing and defending the attitude of Dr.
LYMAN ABBOTT toward supernatural re-
ligion, but IL is not necessary that we should
publish them, since they merely repeat argu-
ments to which We have already given .
place in THE SUN.
They all miss the point, which is that
II there is not supernatural authority for
Christianity it becomes simply system Of
moral philosophy, regarding whose sound
ness disagreement is justifable and newt
able. IL 1t is not believed in as coming
from GOD by supernatural revelation, but Is
treated as simply human in its origin, 1t
will be criticised on its merits alone, as the
jews, for instance, criticise it. and as It
was criticised by the Romans. The Romans
opposed the Christian system and tried to
destroy it as essentially inimical to the State
and the established social order. They
viewed the Christians and dealt with them
rs we now regard and treat Anarchists. II,
then, the supernatural origin and character
OF JESUS are denied, His teachings will be
examined in light radically different from
that in which their discussion has proceeded
hitherto, They will cease to be the founda-
tion OF n religion imposing an obligation OF
belief as essential to obedience to GoD, and
become debatable propositions made by
human teacher OF philosophy, and there
fore properly and necessarily examinable to
determine their intrinsic value.
This would make a complete revolution in
the spirit of Christendom. Christianity AS
a religious system would be wholly sub
verted Instead of a religion deriving its
authority from a supernatural source, we
should have only religious philosophy
limited by the inability of the human intel
lect to go beyond this world OF sense and
fact. JESUS would be relegated to the
plane OF BUDDHA and MoHAMMED, and the
Biblical stories of supernatural occurrences
would take their place along with the tales
of Greek and Roman, Assyrian and
Egyptian mythology. Nothing would be
left for man except the guidance Of human
reason alone The foundation upon
which the Church and Christian theology
are built, would be swept away absolutely.
1t is this destruction in which DIR. ABBOTT
and his defenders are now engaged. II the
Biblical story Of JONAH and the whale is to
be regarded as purely parable, an allegory,
whose actual occurrence was impossible and
therefore unbelievable, Christianity must
descend from its exaltation as religion of
Divine authority, and drop to the level of .
system of religious philosophy or speculation.

Ex-Qucen and Outgoing President.

II Mr.. PALMER, secretary Of Mrs. DoMINIs,
formerly Queen Of Hawaii, Is not persona
grdtd at the White House. It is not through
any lack Of discretion and tact.
He AYERS that annexation Is now dead
in Hawaii" and since the first efforts OF
Mr.. CLEVELAND at the beginning Of his
present term Of Office were directed toward
killing it, such assurances from Secretary
PALMER, Mt the going out of that term,
must be eagerly seized upon.
There Is no question that should Hawaii
be received into the Union under President
MCKISLEY's Administration, this fact will
carry rebuke for Mr.. CLEvELAND's with
drawal of the annexation treaty, which his
predecessor had negotiated. And this mat
ter is wholly apart from his attempt to
overthrow the republic and to set up a
throne In Hawaii, OH which shameful prof.
ect the seal OF condemnation is inefraceably
set. Thus Mr.. PAIMER's assertion regard
ing annexation may come as source OF
comfort and hope to the present occupant
Of the White House.
But OF what avail Is all this delusion
When Mr. PALMER says that he has seen
men "laboring on the roads. carrying n ball
and chain, for no other reason than their
loyalty to LILIUoKALANI," does he not know
that less clement Government might have
given to conspirators the hangman's rope
instead Of the ball and chainr lie and
Mrs. DoMrsIs have nothing to expect OF
Mr.. CLEVELAND. Only about three weeks
remain OF the latter's term OF Office, and
then the ex Queen will see OF how little ac-
count is the friend OF Hawaiian royalty and
the enemy Of the republic and OF annexa-
ton. Besides, what can Mr.. PALMER be
thinking Of, when the only hope OF the ex-
Queen for pension rests on annexationi

The Change That Is to Come.

For what reason is 1t that Cuba looks for
the coming OF MCKINLEY with wistfulness
mot unmingled with hope, while Spain
awaits it with apprehension We are not
aware that the President-clect has ever told
any one, or indicated in any way, what he
thinks about the WAT between the Spanish
monarchy and the Cuban revolution, or
what policy he may favor when certain
questions growing out OF that war, ques-
tions In which this Government is deeply
interested, are brought before him..
We can suggest one reason for the fore
boding of Spain and the hopefulness OF
Cuba. Both OF these parties know that the
policy OF the Cleveland Administration
toward each OF them has followed the
dictation OF one man, Mr., CLEVELAND.
IL has been strictly personal matter.
He has rejected the advice OF Congress, dis
regarded the desire of the country, and used
the power which he possesses as Execu-
tive 10 carry out his own desire in
the case. Now. 1t is our privilege to re-
mark that President MCKINLEY may possi-
bly, not follow CLEvELAYp's example in
this respect. He may not think that
1t Is his duty to set himself up
against Congress as an obstructionist,
or to execute with high hand, at his pleas

opinion, happily.
The practical sagacity OF the artists who
have had the management OF the business
affairs Of the Academy Of Design since it's
foundation in 1926 has been demonstrated
and justified so completely in the past,
that the judgment which has selected
this new site Is deserving OF the
more consideration. No men trained
to business purely could have done better
than these painters have done with the
money intrusted to their stewardship. The
site at the corner OF Twenty third street and
Fourth avenue. which they purchased in
1850 for $50, 1000. they have now sold for
about $500, 900; and they have that hand
some capital to make their new start with
When they decided to take advantage Of
the offer for their property at Twenty-third
street, and were confronted by the necessity
OF removal, the question OF the selection OF
= suitable site for the new structure was
made difficult by the great cost OF land in
the neighborhoods below the Central Park,

ton The Academy needs large plot Of
land, in an eligible situation. and such
pieces Of property in the region below the
Park are not easily obtainable, and are ex-
ceedingly costly. They are so costly that
the purchase OF the mere site would have
exhausted nearly all the capital which had
been accumulated under the praiseworthy
and very sagacious management OF the
Academy's affairs.
The commanding site on Morningside
Heights, however, has been bought for less
than one-half Of the money at the disposal Of
the Academicians, and being spacious, it af-
fords ample room for an extension OF the
educational features OF the institution,
which will make 1t Of increasing Importance
