OUR COUSINS UNNECESSARILY IN
CITED.

The English newspapers are exercised
unduly, we think, over the amendments
that it seems probable the United States
Senate will make to the arbitration treaty.
They think it wholly emasculates the
treaty, and leaves 1t nothing but an
empty shell. If they will only possess their
souls in patience, however, and no amend
ments beyond what are now proposed are
made TO the treaty. they will find, when
it is put TO a practical test, that 1t is
ample for all occasions that arise.
The most important of the proposed
amendments is the one providing that be
fore a question is submitted for arbitra-
ton, the assent of the Senate must be
given. This looks formidable. but 1t
would amount TO nothing in practice.
The people OF the two countries have re-
solved that they will never Tight again,
and no Senate viii ever sit in Washing
ton that will dare refuse its assent TO
the arbitration of any question between
the people OF the two countries that
ought 10 be arbitrated. All that is ne
cessary for practical purposes is the rati-
ncation of the treaty providing for arbi-
tration in the first instance. and providing
the machinery therefor. When questions
arise after that compact has been made,
the first impulse of the minds of both
peoples Will be for arbitration, and moth
ing will thereafter interrupt the current
OF that impulse. but serious considera-
lions. which demonstrate that the ques-
lions al issue are Of character that
exclude arbitration.
The Senate is lacking on a provision
out of regard TO its own dignity, that is
wholly unnecessary. since it will not dare
veto an arbitration that should take place
and II would have been required by the
people to veto one that should not take
place: and its action in that behalf need
give our English cousins no sort Of con-
Germ. The treaty became living and ex-
istent institution when II WAS signed by
our respective representatives. because
the hearts Of the two peoples had re-
solved on it, and so 1t will always here
after exist. though there were 10 word
OF writing upon the subject.

lowed to stand in the way OF commas
sion for moment, and II could no doubt

The London Daily Chronicle says that
the American Senate has stabbed The
arbitration TO the heart" and that the
meaning Of 1t Is that 1.-THE Silverites have
paid US out for our gold policy"
There is. alas. but too much truth in
this statement. The fact that the treaty
has hung up in the Senate is due not so
much to any objection that senators have
TO the principle OF arbitration as TO their
objection TO entering into a treaty with
England. They are prejudiced against

The Murderer of CanOvas.

What will civilization do with the an
archists, is becoming a serious ques-
ton. The ordinary punishment of
death by hanging or beheading ends
the career of the individual assassin,
but the assassination goes on all the
same.
A Spanish assassin has killed CanO-
vas, the Prime Minister of Spain, and
one of the leading statesmen of Europe,
who was handling the affairs of that
unfortunate and decaying monarchy
with great tact and ability. He did
the foul deed publicly where he could
be seen, recognized and arrested. The
murderer gloried in his work and is
commended for it by his fellow an
archists of all countries. Two chief
magistrates of this young republic OF
the United States have been assassi.
mated, and an attempt was made tC
murder another, but in each instance
it was the crazy work of an individual.
There was no justifying sentiment be-
hind the deed in any part of the world.
ReprObatiOn, as we'll as retribution
followed the wretches to the gallows
PaliatiOn, much less justification, wal
never attempted even by the most sen
timental. All anarchists are as guilt,
of the murder of Canovas as is his as
sassin; but he is the only one who cal
be reached or punished, while the
others, after glorifying the deed, ar
left to plot more murders.
How will civilization deal with OF
ganized anarchy?

shaII he GRAND Amy 60 to RIchmondl :

The city of Richmondin in Virginia, rep
resented by its Young Mems Business
Association, desires that the national
encampment of the Grand Army OF the
Republic shall be held there in 1899.
This association is a leading force and
a vital element i'll the affairs of the
town. It has already appointed acom-
mittee of energetic and influential men
to push the matter, and the formal in =
vitation will be extended to the Grand
Army at the Buffalo encampment,
where every effort will be made to
pledge the members in favor of going
to Richmond in 1899.
We are informed that the movement
has the hearty approval of the city
Government, and that it is supported by
public sentiment in Richmond.
This is very interesting proposition.
The idea is thoroughly creditable to
the patriotism of the beautiful town on
the James River which holds so con-
spicuous a place in American history.
No one can miss the significance of the
invitation; and the acceptance of that
invitation, and the actual encampment
of the Grand Army of the republic al
Richmond year after next, would be
equally significant.

A Great CrOp Year.

Eighteen hundred and ninety-seven
will long be remembered as a year in
this country of great yields of almost
all crops. The wheat fields, the corn
fields. the orchards and the gardens,
have responded grandly to the call for
crops; and there is a demand at fair
prices for all this produce. This cir
cumstance has done more to bring
prosperity to the land, to revive bust
ness, to destroy the cause of idleness,
and to make the land and the inhabi-
tants thereof cheerful and hopeful, than
all the political platforms, campaign
speeches, and acts of Congress com
bined.
The transportation companies are
taxed to a strain on their resources to
provide facilities for moving the large
crops of 1897; and at some seaboarC
ports men enough to handle then
promptly cannot be obtained. Sixteei
to one on it that great crops and gOO'
prices mean plenty of work; wOrl
means money; money means comfort
and where there is comfort there i
cheerfulness and happiness-faith ant
hope-and charity also.

ONE GOOD FEATURE.

There is one feature of the new tar
iff law which we think every clean
mined man, Democrat or Repubh-
can or Populist, will endorse, and that
is, as we are informed, no package of
smoking tobacco, fine cut chewing to-
bacco or cigarettes shall be permitted
to have connected with them any arti-
Gle other than the manufacturers
labels or the internal revenue stamp.
A further provision is that there shall
not be affixed to, or branded, stamped,
marked, written or printed upon said
packages any promise or offer of, or
any order or any certificate for any
gift, prize, premium, payment or re-
ward.
What we refer to as a good feature is
that under the new law pictures of
nude females and other objects tend
ing to corrupt the morals of boys and
youths cannot be placed in cigarette
boxes. 1t cannot be denied that in the
past these pictures, many of them
verging upon, if.not actually, obscene,
have been sought after by boys hardly
entering their teens, and it has been
an object with some of them to secure
as many of them as possible.
They have been gloated over by the
"smart" younsters and exhibited tC
others as something to be proud of
They have had tendency to lower the
moral standard among the boys and t.
lead them into paths where their youni
footsteps should not stray. They have
been a nuisance and curse, and it is
something to rejoice over that the Law
has finally stepped in to do away witt
them. m.-AnSOniG Sentinel.
