infamous Turkish empire in enslav-
ing Egypt and in subjugating and
destroying the republics of South
Africa, and, in short, in prosecut-
ing her piratical schemes through
out the world. All the world would
have supposed that England was
backed by the United States, and
the hope of justice would have Eeen
very much reduced, and the cause
of liberty and humanity greatly
jeOpardized. In fact, the identity
of the great republic in its moral
influence would have been gone.
All this for the purpose of crafty
ing British rule and British ambi-
ton, and augmenting the CONNER
cial and financial supremacy of the
great London combination of bonds
and banks
We congratulate the country that
the treaty has been beaten, not
withstanding the appliances used
to ratify it. The press, the pulpit,
and nearly all good people were at
first led to suppose that it was a
treaty of peace and not a treaty of
treachery or surrender; hence they
demanded it's ratification. The
opponents of the treaty could not
be heard. An effort was made to
open the doors of the Senate and
allow discussion in the open day,
but it was defeated. A majority of
the Senators insisted that the doors
should remain closed. The discus
sion went on, however, and it was
the most exhaustive, able, and
statesmanlike debate that has taken
place in any country in the last
fifty years. Senators who listened
could not help being convinced, and
all the appliances on the outside
were Intellectual to coerce those who
listened and force them to vote for
the infamous proposition.
If the doors had been open and
the country could have known what
the Senate learned with regard to
the treaty, there would have been
a current of public sentiment which
would have reduced the vote in
favor of surrender to a very small
minority. There would have been
no friends of the treaty of sufficient
number to amount to anything if
the light of day could have been
shed upon it and the voice of the
people could have been heard in
favor of the preservation of their
institutions. Every argument in
its favor was based on a miscon-
ception of the character and the
design of the English government
in making the treaty.
1t may be said that our govern
ment was more favorable to the
treaty than Great Britain. But
that is not true. Mr.. Olney and
Mr.. Cleveland were undoubtedly
warm advocates of this or any other
treaty that would satisfy Great
Britain, but it can hardly be con
tended that those gentlemen repre-
sent the American people in any
enlarged sense, or that they are not
more inclined to favor Great Brit
ain than the United States. The
un-American thing is dead and let
the people rejoice.-Silver Knight.

medicine received such widespread praise and
endorsement from physicians, druggists and
all classes of the people as is bestowed upon

Unfit to Be Independent.

The Republican party has de-
clared the United States unfit to be
financially independent. 1t has
declared we must take our financial
policy at the hands of Great Brit
ain; declared that the law laid
dow for us by the creditor classes
of Britain to our injury and their
temporary profit is natural law and
must be obeyed. And accepting
the monetary law that others gladly
make for us we are rapidly becom
ing financially dependent in more
ways than one; for law that others
make for us aims to make money
dear and depress the prices we
realize for the products of our labor
which of course results in making
our debts increasingly burthen-
some. And this subtle shrinkage
in value of property, of the things
we have to rely on to pay our debts,
while our debts remain unchanged
drives us irresistible towards bank
ruptcy, into Il place where we must
mortgage our property and our
labor to our creditors, where we
must leave mortgage on the future
earnings of our people, as a legacy
to our children, and thus make us
the slaves of poverty.-The Amer
lean, Philada.

THE FIRE SPECTACLE.
IL Occurred just One Year After
the Terrible Wind IWister

IL Occurred just One Year After
the Terrible Wind Twister.
No more magnificent spectacle than this
fire las ever been witnessed in Was ming
ton Tie night was clear, the air was
cool, and il was only stirred enough To
watt tie sparks from south to north. With
tremendous velocity the fire made its way
fIom the lower southeast corner To the top
OF the building north and northeast, and
then eHsued a scene OF splendor which one
secs but seldom in a lifetime, even in a
large CITY, wherethere are frequent chances
for splendid spectacles.
From time to time there went up showers
of sparks square in area, which, as they
rose and spread, filled the sky or fell IN
flakes on the roofs and i'll the streets.
At seyetal times the whole space on tie
Avenue north Of the burning building was
covered With myTiads of sparks. The
lighter pieces, aflame, mounted higher aud
higher and Were al last lost among the
giittring points Of the stars.
No adequate description could be given,
perhaps lf the illumination itself, nor vi
it's varied and peculiar phases.
AT one Time the fire@as only observed a.
it burst furiously through the windows,
now at the top and now at the bottom
with them came pouring out curling
volumes OF white smoke, which Were At
once redeemed into the hue of the flames
aud grew dark and ominous as they rose
in Il.e air beyond the power Of the bril-
liant illumination.
No scene was, perhaps, more vi' idly
impressed on one than the ruddy glow Of
the thousands of faces a s they We're lighted
up aS far as the eye could reach down
the Avenue or in the side streets.
Tie great altitude of the building made
it q beacon light for the whole city, from
the Potomac to the Boundary, but the
rlaze, or its reflection, was seen many
perhaps ten miles out on either side.
One OF the historical connections of the
conflagration possibly escaped "A great

on the anniversary of the great cyclone OF
September 90, 1896 That visitation was

than Iid the other visitation from one end
