good many good people who honestly
think they arc better than other people
cause a vast amount of trouble by their
efforts to compel the world live in accord
ance Of their notions Of right and wrong.
A sample of this kind of people is Rev
Rainsford, rector OF the Georges church.
New York City. We have no doubt that
he thought he was doing good thing
for his day and generation when he adj
Vises members of his congregation, who
had received invitations to the masked
! bal Of the Bradley Martins, not to at
tend that affair, for the reason that such
displays Of wealth as that intended by
the Bradley Martins would cause dis
content among poor people. AS a mat
ter of fact however, It appears that Dr.
Rainsford is himself the chief encourager
of discomfort. Had he attended strictly to
his duties very little would have been
heard of the Bradley Martin ball, except
by those invited to the ball and their
friends. DR.. Rainsford, however, by his
unwise remarks called attention to the
ball in a way to make sensational news
paper item, which the newspapers of New
York have been making a great deal of
during the last two weeks They have
called the attention of the poor to the
large expenditure of money that will be
made by rich people for one evenings
amusement, and either commented on it
in such a way as to create discomfort
among those who find it difficult to get
even the bare necessities of life or have
permitted others to do so through their
columns.
The ball Of the Bradley Martins is be-
ing discussed from one end of the coun-
try to the other. and even Mrs. Lease
has snatched time enough from her work
of antagonizing debtors and creditors to
condemn the ball. There is hardly a well
known crank or a seeker after notoriety
in the country who hasn't had something
to say about the extravaganza of the
Bradley Martins. Even Russell Sage, who
is famous for his stinginess as well as for
his vast wealth, has expressed the opinion
that if Mr.. Bradley Martins father,
and Mrs. Bradley Martins father
could be made aware of the fact that their
children We're preparing to give ball that
would cost something like $4,000 they
would turn over in their graves.
But are not those who are criticising and
consuming the Bradley-Martins doing
far more to create discomfort among the
poor than the Bradley-Martins are? What
is Russell Sage doing with his millions?
He Is simply using them to accumulate
more millions, and nobody is charging
him with encouraging discomfort. AS
matter of fact, are not the Bradley Mar
tins doing more to help the poor than
those who are criticising them? They
are putting their money into circulation.
They are giving employment to people
and that is much better when there are
many people seeking work than to hoard
money. The real encouragers of discon-
tent are those who are finding fault with
the Bradley Martins for putting their sur
plus wealth into circulation.

"A visitor to New Orleans who was late

yune of the Crescent City his impression
of Gen. Weyier. whom he CHANGED to meet
unexpectedly when called upon to make
affidavit to some commercial papers. He
says the captain general was courteous
but extremely cold, and impressed him as
being passionate and brave and utterly

added, Weyler is insignificant until his

be strange magnetism about him" He

From the Pittsburg Dispatch Rep).
Il might be expected that the Senate
would use ordinary intelligence in draw
ing its amendments. a proviso that the
right Of either nation to protect those with
which Il IS allied or adjacent each i'm It's
own hemisphere, against aggression or OPP
preston by foreign power would at least
have had the virtue of meaning what Il
pretends to mean. II would have been
unnecessary, but It would have had a plain
meaning.
But the proviso which is reported is at
once SO indefinite and so inclusive as to
justify a suspicion that the enmity of the
Senate 70 the administration has produced
the concealed method OF an amendment.

papers of that city made feature of the
matter. giving the utterances of num-
Der of preachers upon the subject. The
preachers. by the way. have divided into
two camps upon the question OF whether
the whale really swallowed Jonah, and are
talking as hard as If the whole subject had
not been exhausted ages ago. At the same
time, is is probably just as well for the
papers and the preachers to talk about the
whale story a while. as they will thus

that Booth is now on the stage in Brazil.
has been revived in Indianapolis. This

as often exploded. But it hobs up

continue to do so from time to time for
years to come.

The amended treaty is to be taken up
by the Senate itself, a dispatch says, at
the earliest possible date; and there is
consequently reason to hope that it may

be submitted for approval to the execu-
tives of the two governments previously
TO ratification.

whenever one OF the ships tries to get out

which sends her to the bottom or out Of

bottom within half mile of the navy
yard, crushed her plates and had to go

then the Alliance went ashore on the vir-

The Treaty Amendments.

The amendments to the arbitration
treaty between this country and Great
Britain. which the committee on foreign
relations has proposed, are not approved
by the British government and the Cieve-
land administration. They take all of
the vitality out of the treaty, is the COM
ment which is made by the British news
papers, which are supposed to reflect the
sentiments of the British government. In
this country, the administration officials
say that the amendments destroy the
essential points of the treaty.
Naturally Mr.. Olney and Lord Salisbury
dislike to have their work mutilated. They
think they have done fine piece of work,
and would like to see the treaty adopted
in Just the shape it was when it was sign
ed.
1t is said the silver senators are opposed
to the treaty because 1t will strengthen
the relations between the United States
and Great Britain and hence help to MAIN
tain the god standard. That statement
is probably a Islander on the silver sena-
tors. 1t is hardly probable that they
would want the treaty depfeated if they
thought it a wise measure simply because
it might remotely have some influence in
UNFOLDING the gold standard.
The debate on the amendments will show
the country whether or not the amend
ments have real merit. If they have
public opinion in this country will sustain
them. II they haven't the sentiment
against them win be so strong that they
will be rejected. and the treaty will be
ratified in it's original form. There is no
doubt that there is an overwhelming feel
ing in favor of a treaty of arbitration be-
tween this country and Great Britain, but
treaty is not wanted that would be main
ly favorable to Great Britain.
