Defeat of Arbitration.
rso greatest sorrow of the year to
:, ~ rs was the defeat OF the ar
ro,ior treaty between England and
.orica So heartsck were we when
4 announcement came that we over
bod the fact that the treaty having
an signed with enthusiasm by our
josdent and the British minister, for-
three senator's cast their votes for its
I.ecation. while twenty-siX voted no,
] nitv of il being that we required
Io.tb,rds to carry it; but let 1t never
forgotten that the senator's repre-
ming the historic states of the Union
voted solidly for the treaty except
,nsvlvanja, of all others, whose
Inrdation stones were laid by William
Inp. than whom no greater friend of
ace has lived since the founder Of
tristianty 1t is well known that the
tgencracy of this state Is due to the
Nj reign of a political boss, who shall

Put in Pillory Many Times.
The world is so Injured to formu-
| ted opinions that I have been put in
|lory many times because, in trying
| do Justice to the point Of view of 9TH
people was supposed to be uttering
IN own convictions. For instance:
then, in 1894, my annual address con-
blned a political programme agreed
bon at Prohibition park between a
toup Of Populsts and Prohibitionists
bd rejoicing that they had at last come
bgether and without personally in
brsing each plank of the platform,
tcOmmended it as a whole, the word
Tent out that | was in favor of free
liver Now, l am free to say that /
bye no opinion on that subject and
over had. | believe we are on the
(reshOld Of a new era In finances: with
less artificial basis of values from that
bught by economists of the old school,
fd this opipion, based on a law Of de-
FlOpment, is the only foot / have to
land on.
Like "Old Wives Fables"
In my humble judgment 1t will be
Foved that the opinions now put for
|ard as the law and gospel of finance
y our safe men among financiers will
fund like old wives fables to a future
|eneraton. Hard upon 200 lynchings
|ill have dsgraced the annals of Amer
"a this year 1t is a grim way of reck-
ping to anticipate more Of these bar
larlc proceedings before the birthday
/ the Prince of Peace, but alas, we
ave abundant warrant to believe they
|ll go on"
Miss Wizards address treats also ex-
Ehslvey Of the departmental work OF
Fe W. c. T. T., of its affiliated inter-
FN the Temple and the National Tenn
France hospital in Chicago; has a Sec
|oh upon the National Council of Wom-
I and the mothers congress. while its
|ppendix includes long list of recon-
Iendations' for the coming year and
