England.
One of the worst OF all the black and
treasonable schemes to this end vas the
Olney Pauncefote arbitration treaty of
infamous memory. What some OF the things
it meant to us amounted TO, was Illus
trated in tile London National Review
during the debate on the measure in the
Senate. Among other things, it remarked.
in substance, that, If the Monroe doctrine,
the Clayton Bulwer treaty and the Mica
ragua Canal were to be amended out of
the document ii would be hard to see where
anything was left for arbitration that
Great Britain cared anything about; and
that was aheut { he truth. The treaty fail
ing, the Review recognized the fact thati
had become dead issue, and has not adj
vooated its revival In the August num-
ber of the magazine the editor remarks
that there is "A strange rumor in the
United States to the effect that President
Mckinley has deputed distinguished
member of his party TO draft yet another
Anglo-AmeFican arbitration treaty.
The National Review offers us a new
side light on the delusion which il seems
afflicted the British mind to American
opinion ON the subject of arbitration in
osition in particular: .Misled by the post
prandiaI cmotionalsm of Mr.. Bayard. who
did great mischief between the two ma

Salisbury believed anything of the kind
or thought aEcut the matter, further than
TO accept assurances that a measure which
be wanted very much to head off the
Monroe doctrine and the Nicaragua
Canal, could lie bribed and bullied through
| the Senate Of the United States.
He and his allies over here were mis-
taken as 10 that; but they have not given
up the fight. The ease with which the
Hama trust tariff bill was passed through
the Senate, by tie votes of its natural Jp-
ponents, most undoubtedly has engendered
the belief that, with money enough iii
hand, an arhitration treaty like the re-
jeotetl oae can lie bought through next win
ter. 1t is EeXt Il, certain. that the attempt
VIII be made, and there is not the slightest
ground for doCbting that Sir Julian Paunce-
fote carried preliminary draft of a treaty
with him 10 London few weeks ago, for
discuSsiuu in the British foreign office.
We shah DC surprised If the National Re
view does not very soon learn that the
purpose asc ribedto Mr.. Mckinley, OF rather
to Mr.. Hanna, who is, In fact, the direct

How Long?

Poor Cuba's suppliant at the feet

How long may cruel Spain deplete
Her land OF sons, and desecrate
A continent which brooks no kings,
And yet looks on, with careless mien,
While a mad despot at her filings
His hosts of fury and rapine?
Where is ColuTnbia's IS Wanted love

Awaits she summons from above
Ere she shall rescue from the kites

The doctrine sanctified by time
That kingly might nor kingly gold
May never rule in Western cline?

BY love of wealth, our belching guns
Had fiery protest ere this made
Against the slaughter Of thy sons!

And from Spain's tot'ring monarchy
We'd wrested yet another star

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Ia May last the official statement was

James Sparks Of VancebHrg, Ky, haa
been relnstated in his old position as chief
of division, the position he held under
the Harrison regime, and from which ne

Carlisle became Secretary. Although this
official statement was issued, Mr.. Spar Aa
did not get the place, and Senator Deboe
few days ago wrote Secretary Gage asking
him why it was that Mr.. Sparks was stiii
out in the cold. Secretary Gage replied
that he did not feel disposed to remove the
man who was now the chief OF the division
because lie was competent and able, and,
as there was neither place nor vacancy, MI
Sparks would haveto wait until there was
Thus Mr.. Sparks appears officially on the
record as having been reinstated, Dut he is
not on the roll, nor is he in position to
draw any OF Uncle Sans money. Since
then the order of the President has been
issued making it impossible for any one TO
be removed without written charges duly
proved. The chances are rather against
Mir. Sparks being reinstated according u
the official ammo unceuent.
