PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 14.-Ssnator Matthew
stanley Quay was q visitor in the city Of Phila-
delphia for three days. and during that time
some plans were formed for strengthening his
political fences in their weak est places. One OF
the arst appointments President Harrison was
called upon to make soon after entering upon
his duties as President, eight years ago. was
that Of Collector Of Internal Revenue: and upon
tho recommendations of Senator Quay. sup
ported by Postmaster General John wana-
maker, the appointment went to David Martin.
against the protest Of James Mechanics. At that
time the great political boss OF Philadelphia.
The appointment Of Martin revolutionized
political Affairs in Philadelphia. McManes was
dethroned, and Martin soon became the boss in
his stead. The present Collector Of Internal
Revenue, William II. Doyle. with eight months
yet OF IN uneI pired commission, will resign his
office within n few days, and again Senator
Quay will name q Collector. who. like Martin
eight years ago. viii cut a mighty big swath In
Philadelphia politics. IL looss as II state Sen.

Revenue for the district EN- oracing n dozen or
more of the great eastern counties.

A new Court of Common Pleas for this city
win doubtless DO established by the present
Legislature. When the four existing Common
Pleas Courts OF Philadelphia were created. In
1874. tho number of cases set down for trial nj
the December term OF that year was 0s4, and
that included many cases that came to the now
courts from tho old District Courts. which
wsre abolished. At tho September term OF
1890 there were 1864 cases on the docket for
trial, AN increase OF about ITO per cent. In the
business before tho courts. while the increase
Of population IN the city OF philadelphia during
that time had been about rs per cent. Not

The creation OF this now court will REQUIRE
the appointment OF three Judges. eight court
Officers. and two clerks, and, as they would all
be friends Of Senator Quay, more strengthening
Of weak places would follow. The Judges OF
the new court are likely to be Gen. james w.

,r..ty had been agreed upon at a time when

treaty had been agreed upon at q time when
both countries claimed certain rights In
Central America and were anxious to have
a canal, while British funds were relied
upon largely to build IL. But the situation
had greatly changed with the enormous de-
velopment OF our Pacific coast, which made
American control OF the canal n necessity.
The treaty, added Mr.. BLAINE, though nom
inally for the neutrality Of the canal. vir-
tually might place its control In the hands
OF England, because, while orr military in
reference with It was forbidden, England's
navy, far more powerful than ours, could,
under the treaty, absolutely hold the water
approaches to the canal. Equality would
really, therefore, prohibit British war yes
sells from passing through 1t. This Gov
eminent. he said, must assert the right to
control the Isthmus transit.
Mr.. FRELISGHr SEN, with the greatest
directness and point. declared 1t to be "un-
necessary and unwise, through an invita-
ton to the nations OF the earth, to guar
antec the neutrality OF the transit OF the
Isthmus, or to give their navies n pretext
for assembling in waters contiguous to our
shores, or to possibly involve this republic In
conflicts from which Its natural position en-
titles II to be relieved" But the special SER
vice which Mr.. FRELrSGHUYsES rendered was
in representing to England that the treaty
had practically lspsed, on the ground that 1t
referred to canal projects at that time in
contemplation. He further urged that
Great Britain had violated the terms Of the
convention in the particulars already set
forth. and finally that the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty could not supersede our treaty Of
1s4s with New Grenada, which had guaran-
teed the sole protectorate Of transit by the
Panama route.
II will be seen from the foregoing facts why
Mr.. MORGAN regards the present as the
golden opportunity for the abroRation OF
the offensive treaty OF 1850. With the
arbitration treaty under consideration. he
wants to know whether our Government will
have the political control Of q canal on this
continent which IL builds with funds guar
anteed by it's bonds, and for avowed stra-
teeic as we'll as commercial purposes. Mr..
MORGAN would have this question formally
settled now, even though Mr.. FRELIHGHUY-
SEN long ago represented to England that
we considered the Clayton-B ulwer treaty rs
virtually lapsed.

The Strawberry Mark.

The Hon. THOMAS FRANCIS BAYARD has
wandered about England as a weeping mis-
sionary Of fraternity. As an amiable and a
handsome gentleman who deprecates the
violent n self-willed people who live over
here, and wishes to be regarded as a Little
Brother Of the Nobility and Gentry, he has
made many affecting speeches, which have
moved him visibly, even IL they nave not
been received by his countrymen with pre-
cisely the same emotion which they may
have aroused in the English bosom. Mr..
BAYARD is polite, and when in England he
deems it his duty to be more polite and
more English than his hosts. THE Eng
lish and the Americans must be brothers"
That Is his usual text. BE brothers, con-
found you! ~ say the English. In effect, land
don't forget. confound you! that we're the
head of the house"
Now, whatever American succeeds Mr..
BAYARD, there ought to be a change OF tune.
Equality is as far AS Americans care to 60
In their relations with Great Britain or
any other country. AS long-lost brothers,
the English can stay lost.
We hope that whoever becomes Ambas-
sador to Great Britain next month will
give the brother business a long-needed holt
day. In international relations every coun-
try Is for itself, first, last, and all the time
and strawberry marks don't count.

Inc senate y lrehtiheht VI 'ho Arcasy.
The latest amendment suggested for tho
general arbitration treaty Is of q sweeping
and radical character, and evidently arises
from the anxiety with which the agreement
as q whole 10 regarded.
As framed by the Committee on Foreign
Relations, the new provision Is substan-
TALLY that any subject Of controversy, in
order to 20 before the arbitration court.
must FIRST be submitted to the Senate, that
body and the President acting upon IL
jointly, as in the case OF treaties.
We do not think that this proposition Is
merely captious and obstructive, or that IL
arises from mere jealousy on the Senate's
part as to being deprived Of Its share 10 the
solution OF international difficulties. The
truth Ia hat a review OF our diplomacy for
generations shows instance after instance in
which England has got the better OF us. and
IL also proves that one OF the advantages
which we have possessed in settling quar-
rels with her has been our freedom from
the European rivalries and menaces to
which she has been, and doubtless will con-
tinue to be exposed.
One effect OF the new amendment would
be that we should not wholly forepo the lat
ter advantage, although its chief purpose is
presumably to bring to the review and the
judgment Of the Senate all propositions for
putting subjects Of dispute to controversy rs
they may arise, instead Of trying, rs the
treaty now tries, to define them by terms Of
inclusion and exclusion beforehand.
1t becomes more evident daily how much
Is involved in the proposed treaty, and how
foolish it would ave been for the Senate
to have yielded TO any pressure for imme-
diate and unqualified ratification.

The Rev. DR.. RAINsFoRD Is a mischievous
social agitator, so far as his influence goes,
and the more 30 because he puts forth his
ill-digested and fallacious notions in a re-

he talked to a society of engineers about the

done almost nothing for the lower strata"
He also expressed the opinion that 1--WE

Now. DIR. RAINsFoRD, we not only think

coming to this country. Suppose you had
remained at Dublin, where you were born,
would you he so far ahead as you are now ?
