Looking Ahead.

A sojourner in New England factory

came upon a peculiar sight says the
Youths Companion. About mile out of
the town there was a small, white cottage
inhabited by family of French-Canadi-
ans, who were employed in the factory
As she approached the house she saw that
a border of black paint a foot wide had
been added to the original white since her
last visit
The windows were outlined by this rusty
black, a border surrounded the door. ran
under the eaVeS-trough, and, generally
speaking, defined the contour of the cot
tage. The owner of the house sat smok-
ing on the doorstep and greeted the pas
er-by with melancholy smile of recogni-
ton.

The caller pursued her way. somewhat

and grief; but month later, on passing
the house, she saw her former melancholy

he proudly introduced as his wife, sat

Senators offended.

That is a strange report which comes
from Washington, to the effect that many
of the senators are offended because Sec
rotary Olney made public the text of the
arbitration treaty between this country
and Great Britain, without consulting the
Senate, and threaten to defeat the treaty
because of the secretary's lack of courtesy
The story may be true. The senators are
great sticklers for courtesy. They insist
upon courtesy and proper respect for
their dignity to suSh an extent that it al
most seems as If they would let the coun-
try ''go to the dogs" before they would per-
NIT the least show of disrespect for the.
Senate.
1t is alleged that Secretary Olney wanted
the treaty made public because he thought
it would be generally approved. and that
general approval of it would hasten its
ratification. Fearing that the Senate would
not make it public, he gave a copy of it
to the correspondent of a London paper,
with the understanding that it should be
cabled back at once to this country. This
statement may or may not be true. If
true, it affords no reason for defeating the
treaty or delaying action upon it. The
treaty should stand or fall according to
it's merits. Because the Secretary of
State and the Senate fail to get on ami
cably together it doesn't follow that two
great peoples should be made to suffer.
We do not undertake to say whether or
not the treaty is more favorable to Great
Britain than it is to this country. Evil
IDENTIFY there is a difference of opinion in
regard to that matter If, however, the
Senate finds that the ratification of the
treaty would be beneficial to this country
it should ratify 1t without unnecessary de-
lay. If, on the other hand, it sees where
in the treaty would be against American
interests, there ought to be no hesitation
in rejecting it. The relations between
the state department and the Senate ought
not to influence the action of the Senate
one way or the other in respect to the
treaty. To allow feeling of hostility to
the Secretary of State to defeat the
treaty, or even delay action upon it, would
show childishness upon the part of the
Senate that would be inexcusable,

A pretty anecdote is told of Jacob
Grimm. who, with his brother William,
formed the collection of fairy tales and
legends which have delighted the children
of the civilized world One day a little
maiden. eight years old, called at the
home of the author, asked to see him, and
was shown into the library, where the
author was at work Kindly inquiring
what she wanted, the German lassie ask
ed, very earnestly: rs it thou that hast
written those fine marchen (fairy tales)?"
Yes, my dear" answered the story-tel-
Ter, my brother and have written the
hausmarchen." Then thou hast also
written the tale of the clever little tailor
where it is said at the end who will not
believe il must pay a thaler?" Yes.
have written that, too" "Well, then"
answered the little one, II do not believe
1t, and so I suppose I must pay thaler
but as 1 have not so much money yet I'll
give thee a groschen about two cents on
account, and pay the rest by and by"
DR.. Grimm was highly amused with the
conscientiousness displayed by his little
visitor, and delighted at this proof of his
power as a story-teller.

Mr.. Brvan,s Explanation.

Mr.. Bryan seems to have thought 1t ad-
visable to make a reply TO the criticisms
of his Atlanta lecture. His reply appears
in the form OF letter TO Mr.. Hugh c.
Middleton Of Augusta. He does not claim
much for his oratory, but seems to think
he is strong in ideas. In his letter he
says: Il may be at fault in not giving
more attention to ornameutation, but each
one has his ideal, and the difference be-
tween speakers lies largely in their differ
ences in ideals. The highest compliments
paid to me. according to my estimate of
compliments, have been paid by those who
have been convinced by my arguments. or
have been able to secure new arguments
for their own use"
1t is a rather curious fact that, as a rule,
the public estimate of the work of a man
who has achieved success differs from his
own estimate of it. The public has been
inclined to regard Mr.. Bryan as an orator.
or at least a first-class declaimer of other
mems ideas. Mr.. Bryan does not
think, apparently that he is much of an
orator. but prdes himself upon his ability
as a thinker. According to his view he
is a manufacturer of great ideas.
The time may come when the public will
accept Mr.. Bryan's belief as to the kind
of ability he possesses. but it has not done
so yet Those who have had the best of
opportunities for forming an opinion of
him regard him as a phase maker They
believe he is thoroughly honest, but not
great in any respect
His ability as an orator rests upon a
part of tariff speech he delivered in con-
gress and the speech he delivered in the
Chicago conventions speech that gave
him the presidential nomination of his
party. He has yet to make reputation
as a thinker. If he does not do better than
he has since his Chicago speech, he will
lose his reputation as an orator before he
makes reputation as a man of ideas.

Is Peace In sights

There are reports in print to the effect
that the Cuban war is near its end. One
report is that a representative of the Span
ish government is on his way to Wash
ington, having in his possession the draft
of an agreement containing the terms
Spain is willing to grant to Cuba-the
terms being such as the United States will
advise the Cubans TO accept. Another
dispatch states that the representative of
Spain reached Washington soine days ago,
and that the Spanish Minister De LONE
and Secretary Olney have fixed up an
agreement. on the line suggested recently
by the insurgent leader, Gen. Gomez,
which will no doubt be signed by Gomez.
There may be something in these reports.
The chances are. however, that there is not.
If negotiations looking towards peace had
progressed as far as indicated, more of the
matter would have been made public long
before the present time.
There is bound to be a great many false
reports relative to the Cuban war; be-
cause of the efforts to keep everything
pertaining to it a secret. The policy of
secrecy gives those who are engaged in
manufacturing fake news all the oppor-
tunity for their work they want. The fact
that the time for treaty-making has come
will be known long before the negotiations
for the treaty are known.
