THE DEFEAT OF THE TREATY.

AS practical measure for the settle
ment of international disputes the arbi-
tration treaty in its amended form would
probably have amounted to very little II
it had been ratified by the Senate and ac-
cepted in its modified form by Lord Sails
bury. Nevertheless the moral effect OF
its ratification would have been consider
able and on that account it's failure is to
be regretted. So many safeguards had
been introduced into the bill by the Sen
ate amendments and the danger of Eng
lands being able by means of it to gain
any advantage so thoroughly eliminated
that vote against it in it's present form
of arbitration, which we have been con-
tending for for many years and which we
have frequently fiattered ourselves our
government was foremost in advocating.
There is some satisfaction in the fact that
large majority of the Senate voted in
it's favor, yet it will go out to the world
that the United States has rejected arbi-
tration under circumstances that will
leave the impression that there has been q
good deal Of hypocrisy about our past adj
vocacy of it. Judging from the speeches
made agai nst the treaty in the Senate
the thing which, more than
anything else, brought about the
defeat was the dislike and suspicion
which are entertained by large numbers
in this country of England. Dislike
of Cleveland administration figured to
some extent also. The fact that the sue
cess of the treaty would tend to glorify
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Olney undoubted-
ly prejudiced a good many of the silver
Democrats against it. But dislike of
England, and suspicion that in some way
the treaty might enure to her advantage
were at the bottom of most of the opposi-
ton. This was the string that Senator
Morgan, who led and directed the opposi-
ton, harped upon more than any other.

ODDNESS OF LIFE IN KANSAS.
Even Funerals Are Attended There With
Funny, Lively Facts.

What promises to be the most remarka-
BILE lawsuit ever tried in Kansas is brew
ing over at Atchison, says the Kansas
City Journal. Last week William Dutch
died and was buried After the funeral
Mrs. Dutch found among her husband S
papers written agreement between him
self and Fred Buebner, the undertaken at
Netawaka, through which each agreed to
pay the funeral expenses of the one who
died first. Mrs. Dutch had already paid
for the coffin for her husband, but she
sent the bill to Mr. Buebner. He re-
sponded that he was ready to pay the
wholesale price of the casket, as that was.
all it would have cost him if he had been
notified in time to furnish it according to
agreement. This, it is said, Mrs. Dutch
will refuse and try to enforce the collect
ion of the full amount in court.
This Atchison case reminds one of an
agreement which exists between two of
Iopeka's best known citizens. Years ago
Sam Radges performed some service for
John r. Mulvane. When Mulvane
sought to pay him he declined to take it,
and Mulyane then said:
'sAll right, Sam; when you die I will
see that you get the best funeral the town
can afford
'fDo you mean it?'' queried Sam.
II certainly do, responded the rich
man.
"Well, we'll just put this in business
shape" said eccentric Sam, and he forth
with proceeded to call in witnesses and
make the contract binding By its terms
the Modoc Singing Club, Marshall
Band and the opera house are to be paid
for by Mulvane, together with the finest
coffin to be had. Radges has already
built himself fine stone tomb in the
Topeka cemetery, which is the first sight
pointed out to visitors. He has arranged
for large electric light in the center of
the tomb, and in his will has set apart a
sum to be employed in payment for the
Topeka Daily Capital, which is to be
thrown into the death chamber every
morning. Radges is certainly the oldest
character in Kansas, He is not crank,
for he has the most thorough appreciation
of the humor of his own oddities. He
takes great delight in reminding Null
vane of the burial contract, and it will
be carried out faithfully unless Mulvane
plays 'sInjun.

MAGAZINE NOTICES.

In the New England Magazine for May
is an interesting sketch of the career of
Daniel Chester French, who stands today
in the front rank of American sculptors.
by Mrs. Helen B. Emerson The article
contains many fine representations of Mr.
French's work. Mr.. Russell W. Porter,
a student of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology, who accompanied Lieut..
Peary in his last expedition, writes enter
tainingly of Greenland, and his article is
finely illustrated. This months contribu-
ton to the old historic places of New
England series is on Old Pennington,
Conn, by William Potts. The great
chronological school series this month
treats of the Armour Institute of Chica-
og. Two articles of curious and SINH
lar historical value are An Unwritten
Chapter in Massachusetts Geography,
by Allen Chamberlain, and The Scotch
Irish and the Bay State Border, by
George Varney. Another singular chap
ter in New England history is given us
in the article by Mr.. Max Bennett
grafton. Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Cram
contributes an article entitled Leaves
From an Old Church Record. The old
church of which she writes is in Hamp-
ton Falls, N. H., and from the record we
learn many surprising things of church
life a hundred years ago. The number
is rich in stories and in poetry, Miss
Caroline Ticknor, Mr.. Sam Walter Foss,
Rev. Frederick B. Mott, and Rev. John
White Chadwick being among the writ
ers
The Arena for May has an interesting
article on the National Congress of Moth
ers held recently at Washington by Mrs.
Ellen A. Richardson, Hon. John w.
Hoyt and Mr.. Frederick Reed. Gov.

Why the People are Short. Under the
head of Trade Unions under the Solonic
Law, Hon c. Osborne Ward, interpreter
to the Department of Labor, Washington,
d. c., contributes an admirable article
on an original branch of inquiry. Mr..
Ward has studied the question which he
discusses, by visitation to Greece, Asia
Minor and Egypt. He brings ripe erudi-
ton to his task, and presents novel and
entertaining paper on scholastic theme.
