The American people are familiar
with the fact that there is now before
the United States, for ratification, a
treaty of peace with England. Few,
however, have read the articles of the
proposed treaty. In England and other
countries this treaty is being widely
discussed. Why should not Americans,
who are supposed to govern them
selves, read and discuss the matter and
then write to their senators at Wash
ington telling them what they think
about it? For that reason we publish
the entire proposition. 1t is as follows:
The United States of America and
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
being DESTROYS of consolidating the re-
lations of amity which so happily exist
between them, and of consecrating by
treaty the principle of international ar
oltration, have appointed for that pur-
pose as their respective plenipoten-
tiaries the President of the United
States of America, the Hon. Richard
Olney, Secretary of State of the
united States, and her majesty, the
Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, and the Right
Hon. Sir Julian Pauncefote, member
OF her maiesty's most honorable Privy
council, knight Grand Cross of the
Most Honorable Order Of the Bath and
OF the Most Distinguished Order of st.
Michael and st. George, and her ma
oesty's Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary to the United States,
who, after having communicated to
each other their respective full powers,
which were found to be in due and
proper form, have agreed to and con-
cluded the following articles:

WRITE TO YOUR SENATOR.

1t will take a two-thirds vote of the
senate TO ratify the treaty, which really
means an offensive and defensive alli-
ance. The senators will take great
heed of expressions from the people on
the advisability of entering into an
alliance of this kind. Action will prob
ably be taken in few days. Those
DESTROYS of protesting or endorsing the
proposition should lose no time in
writing to their senator's.
Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1897-02-09
Article XIV.

The present treaty shall be duly rati-
fed by the President of the United
States, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate thereof, and by her
Britannia majesty; and the mutual ex-
change of Publications shall take place
at Washington or in London within six
months of the date hereof or earlier II
possible.
In faith whereof we, the respective
plenipotentiaries, have signed this
treaty and have hereunto affixed our
seals.

Geology.

The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to have been treated of in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree of geological
Information Is displayed in the book OF
JOB, several passages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl-
edge OF the different strata of the earth.
The science Is treated of by Aristotle,
Pliny and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an
exact science until the present century.

And lesseS the weight of anguish
Which every heart must bear?
The clouds may rest on the present,
And sorrow on days that are gone.
But no night is so utterly cherries
That we may not look for the dawn
And there is no human being
With so wholly dark lot,
But the heart, by turning the picture,
May find some sunny spot:
For as in days of winter.
When the snowdrifts whiten the hill,
Some birds in the air will flutter,
And MARBLE, to cheer us still:
So, if we would bark to the music,
Some hope with a starry wing,
In the days of our darkest sorrow,
Will sit in the heart and sing.
