The Trenty,~ Chances Poor.

1t looks very much as il the senator's
who are opposing the arbitration treaty
do not intend to permit it to be ratified
il they can help it. Il seems to be
clear that many, If not all, of them would
vote against il, even if the amendments
which have been proposed to it should
be adopted on Friday Senator Sher-
man, who has charge of it, tried to get
the Senate to fix a day for taking a vote
on it. but without success. A motion to
postpone its consideration until March
was defeated. but that action is not in
terpreted to mean that the opponents OF
the treaty will consent to have vote
taken before the end of the present con-
gress. 1t is believed to mean that the
opposition objects to any affirmative ac-
ton of any kind.
There is no doubt that the sentiment
of the country is in favor of the treaty,
and nothing that has been said in the
debate upon it has changed that senti-
ment to any noticeable extent. No doubt
public sentiment would undergo a change
very quickly if it we're shown that the
treaty is against the best interests of
this country, but that has not been done.
Some of the senators who are oppos-
ing the treaty are doing so because It
was negotiated by Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
mnstration, and others because they are
suspicious of everything that is favored
by Great Britain. They seem to think
that Great Britain has some object in
view which has not yet been disclosed.
In his speech on Friday, Senator Daniel
of Virginia said that if Great Britain
could put the United States under bonds
to keep the peace she would feel free to
pursue her aggressive policy of acquiring
territory.
There is no doubt that Great Britain
favors the treaty, but there is no appar-
ent reason for thinking she has any other
object in view than to lessen the chances
of war with this country. Unless we
can make it clear that she has some
other object it is only fair to assume that
she has none. The fact should not he
overlooked that the treaty was not pro-
posed by Great Britain. 1t was pro-
posed by this country. and it was quite
awhile after the proposition was made
before Great Britain would consent to
consider it.
The opinion is held by some that the
treaty, if amended. as proposed, woIld
not be acceptable to Great Britain. 1t
is by no means certain that such is the
case. Ambassador Bayard has inter-
viewed Lord Salisbury on the subject, and
while he has not obtained anything def
mite he has learned enough TO justify the
conclusion that the adoption of the amend
ments would not necessarily mean the
death of the treaty. Lord Salisbury
doesn't desire to say anything about the
amendmt nts until he understands them
better.
The defeat of the treaty would be gen
orally regretted. Both in this country
and England there is a very general be-
lief that all honorable means for the set
tlement of differences likely to arise be-
tween the two countries should be
| adopted

PER SONAL.

State Senator Holler Of Indiana, who
owns large landed tracts in st. Joseph
county, that state, has offered to give the
Hoosier state 100 acres of land near South
Bend as a site for a separate woman's
prison. He has long been an advocate of
keeping widely separate habitual women
criminals and young girls who are COM
mitted for corrective purposes.
Prof. Munk of the University of Ber-
lin, famous for his discoveries in the
physiology of the brain, says 1t is great
mistake to suppose that gymnasdc exer-
cises sandwiched in between school hours
rest the pupils. On the contrary, he says,
they still more fatigue the brain, which
ought to have absolute rest If both stu
dies and gymnastics are to be INDUCED in
on the same day, he says, they should he
separated by intervals of rest.
The selection of DIR. Ward of Trinity
College, for the new professorship of men
tai philosophy and logic at Cambridge
(Which is worth $500 a Year, has given
much satisfaction in the university, for he
is a very able man, and the work of the
new chair is sure to be thoroughly we'll
done, and up to a very high standard of
excellence. Dr. Ward has been fellow
and tutor of Trinity for twenty-one years,
and has devoted himself with much sue
cess to college work; while his admirable
contributions to the Encyclopaedia Brit
annica" nave made him widely known.
Col. Samuel Boyd, for many years the
head of the cotton press business in this
country died in New Orleans a few days
ago, aged Y years. He was a native of
County Antrim, Ireland. He came to this
country in 1888. He rose to the owner
ship of the Louisiana cotton press, and in
1870 was the owner of five presses in New
Orleans alone and in practical control of
the business. He continued to acquire cot
ton press property rapidly, and by 1875 he
was called the cotton press king, and was
said to own more cotton press property
than any man in the world. Col BOYD
was at one time owner of large cotton
plantations, but sold them out to CONSOLE

but because Of the wrong done to the set
tiers on the land in dispute 1t is not at
all probable that either Mr.. or Mrs. Cleve-
land will be benefited in the least by the
act Of the Secretary of the Interior in
settling the Florida land question in favor
Of the Perrine heirs. 1t is quite certain
that Mr.. Cleveland would not permit a
decision in favor of a relative of Mrs.
Cleveland. which he did not think the facts
warranted, nor would he withhold decis-
ion to which relative Of Mrs. Cleveland
was entitled for fear that some one of his
political enemies might try to make it the
basis of a scandal.
Mr.. Cleveland has many bitter political
enemies, and he has few friends in con-
gress, but no one of his enemies has dared
to charge him directly with dishonesty.
The people have the utmost confidence in
him, and will continue to have until it is
shown that he is not worthy of confidence.
The efforts of his enemies to smirch his
good name will not influence them in the
least.

Mr.. Richard Harding Davis, the Cuban
expert, is quoted as saying with regard
to the arrest of Correspondent Scovel by
the Spaniards in Cuba. that "Scovel may
die, but if he does. his death will free
Cuba" That being the case it would
probably please the Cubans to have the
Spaniards hustle Mr.. Scovel off this earth
ly stage as quickly as possible. And
really, Scovel ought not to seriously OBJ
ject. since it would make a great story
for his newspaper.

Why They are Not Published.

Several communications have been
received lately which, owing to the
crowded condition Of our columns,
could not be published while fresh
and having lost that their publica-
ton would be Of no interest. Others
have been received unaccompanied
by the true name of the writer's and
hence We decline to publish them.
We make this statement in order
that the writer's may know the reason
why their communications did net
appear in these columns. We want
short items of interest from every
community in the county as they
happen and trust our correspondents
will furnish US with such.

thence it will go to near Mr.. James

when this is accomplished, it will DC

bridges and highways and that
cheaper than the same class of work
could possibly be done under any
other system.
