ADMISSION. Ala. Jan. .2l.-The Rev. A. r.
Fowler, who Is minus both hands. was ar
berton. Ga, on u charge Of forging three rent
notes and a mortgage on II farm. Fowler WIS
pastor OF the Elberton Presbyterian Church for
three months last year. Fowler lost his hands
within n few weeks OF each other about three
years ago. lie took out an accid ent policy for
$4,000, aud seven days afterward ono OF his
hands was shot OF while hunting. When this
wound healed, and before the first policy was
went out cunning again In q few days and came
back with tho other hand blown TO pieces. The
Insurance company Is ightinR the payment OF

A Proper Attention to the Queen.

It would be only courteous and royals
tically appropriate IL the Hon. GROVER
CLEVELAND should put one Of the prettiest
and least greasy Of the lighthouse feet at
the disposition of Queen LrLIUoKALASI,
during her Majesty's visit.
The Cactus has not sufficient cabin 40
commodation, but the Lilac might answer.
The Myrtle and the Mistletoc are about
equally available. The Pansy, we believe.
Is somewhat hogged, and the Verbena pos
sessos no derrick; but there are the Violet,
the Jessamine. the Geranium, the Wistsria,
the Marigold, the Holly. the Dahlia, the Gar
denia, and the Goldenrod. Any one Of these
gentle craft is seaworthy enough for the
purpose. There would be q certain delicacy
OF sentiment in assigning to her Majesty
either the C%olumbine or the Lily, but the
former Is on duty now along the northwest
coast, while the Queens fragrant little
namesake Is engaged in river service in the
Mississippi basin.
However. this Is q question Of detail.
1t may be objected that under the avs Of
the United States the Hon. GROVER CLEvE-
A N has no authority to appropriate one Of
the floral and arboreal feet to the personal
uses ola visiting sovereign or ex-sovereign.
A study Of the Revised Statutes will con
vince any lawyer that the President has
precisely the same right to do that rs to ap-
propriate one Of them to his W use.

out even the pretence Of artistic posturing
made by public dancers at the recent din
ncr. The exhibitions provoked and paid for
and witnessed by PARKHURsT were worse
than Pompeiian in their shamelessness
and only q man Of a depraved nature could
have fingered to watch them night after
night, and drink beer with the abandoned
performers. Simply to look or them was
d~isgraceful.
The SEELEY dinner was . logical conse-
quence OF the provocative notoriety Of the
"PARRBURsr circus;' but as compared
with that nasty invention IL was a chaste
and decent performance. Instead Of in
d~icating an increase Of shamelessuess, 1t was
morally far above the nconceivably low
level Of the original example.

Better Than the "Parkhurst Circus

The speakers at a g social purity " meet

tions adopted at it, assumed hat immoral
ity is spreading and increasing in New York
Mt an alarming rate. For instance, the Rev.
DIR. LEWIS of Plainheld, in New Jersey,
made this remark concerning a recent dis
play of indecency and vulgarity at a dinner
Mt n Fifth avenue refectory:
New York has seen a shame far worse than that

several occasions and at different places to
make displays before him which were abso-

The Climate OF tho Dry Lands.

In the observations of Mr.. WILLIS l..
MOORE, chief OF the Weather Bureau, on
"Some Climatic Features Of the Arid
Region" the admission is made that the
ideal climate, as regards equality OF tenn
perature and absence of moisture, does not
exist in the United States" Such a climate
Is found only on the p~lateaus Of the tropics,
Mt Santa F6 dc Bogota, in the United States
Of Colombia, for example, which has an
average annual temperature OF about So.
Mr.. MOORE does not say 80, but an average
change OF 80" would be more like the
climate to which most OF us are accus-
toned; and a pretty vital climate it Is,
after all, and 1t does good to those
who are able to endure 1t. The south
eastern part OF the United States has,
according to Mr.. MOORE, the nearest
approach to the ideal temperature to be
found in the United States. Even In the
Southwest the range of variation is consid-
cradle, and the rainfall reaches from moth
ing to n point greater than is to be found in
the Middle or Eastern States. As n rule,
however, the Southwest Is dry, the rainfall
in that region being considerably less than
twenty inches per annum on the average"
1t I" is by no means difficult to find a counter
part OF the far-famed Egyptian climate in the
great Southwest" Ranges OF temperature
depend upon the dryness Of the air and the
clearness of the sky. Thus while the sum
mer temperature of the Southwest is high,
the real degree of heat M felt by animal
life is not indicated by the common Their
mometer, but by n mercurial thermometer,
the bulb of which is wet at the time of
observation. This shows the temperature of
evaporation, the sensible temperature, and,

Tho Treaty-A Hidden Motive Dis.
closed.


The bearing Of the treaty Of arbitration
upon the question Of the. control OF the
Nicaragua Canal is becoming gradually
manifest. 1t is sufficient to account for
England's mysterious interest in the kin
ship idea. and her sudden devotion to the
cause Of international peace.
To prevent the control by the United
States Of America Of any isthmian water
way between the Atlantic and Pacific,
has been for half a century one Of
the capital objects Of British diplo.
macy. 1t is the traditional policy Of
the British Foreign Office. It is the one
Thing that unites and explains every
move for the acquisition Of territory or the
America and the islands affording positions
Of advantage with reference to the inter
oceanic link. 1t is q cardinal feature of a
g~lobe-embracing commercial and nava sys-
TEN. Russia has not been more persistent
in her policy OF progress toward the Bos-
porus than has been England in her efforts
TO render impossible the exclusive Ameri-
can control of the Nicaragua Canal route
from sea to sea.
II the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty of 1880 is
alive and in force, England is entitled to
equal partnership with ourselves in the
political control Of the Nicaragua Canal.
At the time of the negotiation and r~atifica-
ton Of that treaty 1t was thought that the
canal would be constructed Immediately
under the original concession by English
and American capital. Both Governments
agreed that they would attempt no exclu-
aiya rnnfrnl nyar the ranul. Aanraatnv that
neither will ever erect or maintain any
Notifications commanding the same. or in
the vicinity thereof, or occupy, or fortify,
or COLOMBO, or assume, or exercise any
dominion over Nicaragua. Costa Rica, the
Mosquito Coast, or any part Of Central
America; nor will either make use Of any
protection which either affords, or may
afford, or any alliance which either has, or
may have, to or with any people for the
purpose Of erecting or maintaining any
such Notifications. or of occupying or
colonizinR Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mos
quito Coast, or any part Of Central America,
or Of assuming or exercising dominion over
the same"
The American position Is that England's
own course in ignoring, openly violating,
