TIE ARBITRATION TREATY.

A mass-meeting in New York called to
support the proposed arbitration treaty
with Great Britain resulted in vote ad-
verse to the resolutions OF those who
called it. Though speakers of eminence
and eloquence were on hand to advocate
the treaty, the honors OF the meeting were
won by an orator who rose from the audi
ence to denounce the measure.
The incident serves TO show how strong
IS the popular feeling against any move-
ment which seems to com nit this country
to submit all its possible controversies
with Great Britain to an arbitration which
might be controlled by some foreign
power. This feeling, which is natural TO
Americans, has been intensified by the
conduct of the Cleveland administration,
and particularly by the speeches OF Bay
ara. 1t Is, therefore, more adverse to tue
treaty now than it would be under ordi-
nary conditions, and it is certain there
would be little regret among the great
mass OF the people if the treaty should be
refused ratification by the Senate.
1t must be borne in mind. however, that
new administration has come into
power. Mckinley is not Cleveland, and
Bayard will soon cease to misrepresent
the United States at the Court OF ST.
James. With more resolute American
ism in power at Washington the popular
confidence in the conduct Of our foreign
affairs will increase and consequently.
the opposition to the treaty will be largely
Unfinished.
1t is not likely that the terms arranged
by Olney will be accepted. Important
amendments to the instrument will be
made by the new Secretary of State. We
shall have the Monroe doctrine guarded
against submission to arbitration and our
control of the coming Nicaragua canal
will be assured. Under such conditions
the treaty will be more acceptable to the
people. In the meantime the New York
protest shows clearly how strong is the
public feeling against the measure as pro-
posed by the Cleveland administration
and how resolute is the popular desire to
defeat it.

THE SALINAS ENOAMPMENT.

The preparations now being made at
Salinas for the annual encampment OF the
Department of California and Nevada of
the Grand Army of the Republic give as
surance that this assembly of the veterans
will be held under circumstances propi-
tious to enjoyment in every respect.
Few localities in California have more
attractions than Salinas and no part of
the State has fresher beauty or more de-
lightful climate in the month of April,
when the encampment is to be held. Ma
ture will do every thing to make the occa-
sion delightful one, and the veterans
will meet under circumstances as different
as possible from those which surrounded
them in the hard days of war, where their
friendships were first established and the
patriotic deeds performed which have
made them friends forever.
1t will not be upon nature only, how
ever, that the mem bers OF the Grand
Army may depend for the success of their
encamament. Salinas is not a large town,
but the people have large ways. They are
genuine Californians in hospitality and In
loyal love OF the brave men who preserved
the Union. They will devise a thousand
means of manlfesting their welcome to the
veterans, and when the old soldiers gather
there they will find themselves at home
among their friends.
The advantages Of the encampment will
not be wholly on The side of the veterans.
Salinas will profit much by the entertain
ment she gives and the hospitality which
she extends. These gatherings Of the SOL
diers OF the war invariably attract public
attention, and as result Salinas will be
largely in the thoughts OF the people Of
California during the whole time of the
encampment. This cannot fail to rebound
to her benefit.
The advantages she offers for home
seekers and for men who have capital to
ipvest are many. 1t is only necessary
that attention should be called to them in
order that considerable number OF tour
lists may be attracted to the city. When
t visitor has seen Salinas he will not
need much argument to convince him
that it is good place to settle and good
place to invest money. The hosts as well
as the guests of the coming encampment
may therefore look forward to it with
pleasure. and we congratulate both on the
prospects before tham.

THE NEW TARIFF.

The Ways and Means Committee OF the
House of Representatives is making rapid
progress in the work Of constructing the
new tariff, and there is reason to believe
the bill will not only be ready to report
soon after the new Congress is organized,
but will be in its main points entirely
satisfactory to Congress and to the coun.
try.
There is some cause for fear, however,
that the fruit industry may not be as well
protected as it merits. It is well, there
fore, that the people of California and
their delegation in Congress should ke.p
yigilant watch on the fruit schedules.
According to reports the East has not yet
learned the i'm mportance OF protecting Cali.
fornia ralsins-growers from the competi-
ton of the so-called Zante currants. This
is understood in Fresno, and efforts are
now being made to procure duty on
these goods which will afford the required
protection. In this work the people of
Fresno should have the cordial support Of
all Californians, and can certainly count
on that of the people, the press and the
commercial bodies OF San Francisco.
1t is also urged that fuller protection
shonld be given to citrus fruits. In add.
ton to the petition which already ex.
lists in Southern Europe and the West
Indies, there is an increasing competition
from Mexico. The Mexican growers of
citrus fruits would be most dangerous
competitors to California, and it is only
right that Congress should give protec-
ton sufficient to guard our orange and
lemon growers against the rivalry OF a
country where land and labor are so much
cheaper.
Another feature OF the tariff which will
be ofimportance to Californiansis the duty
on wool. These schedules have been acted
on by the Ways and Means Commit ttee and
the results seem to be fairly satisfactory.
The rates adopted are in the main those
which were provided by the Mckinley
bill, and. as these were beneficial during
the continuance OF that tariff, it is reason.
able to assume that they will be equally
beneficial now. Nevertheless, it must be
remembered that the conditions OF the
world have changed in the last four years
and that the country requires to-day
a much higher protection in some lines
than 1t required before the universal de-
preston began.
When the bill is reported it will come
before the people as well as before Con-
gress for criticism. Until that time all
comment upon it must be made in ten
tative way. The trainers of the bill have
to adapt it to the double purpose OF pro-
tecting American industry and OF pro-
viding revenue for the country. It will
not be fair to criticize the bill from either
of these points OF view alone. It will rep.
resent the best judgment of Republican

Oil City Rlizzard

1t is positively shameful tnat our Senators at
Harrisburg should get into wrangle over the
proposition to print $4,000 dozen books on
chicken diseases. They saould be printed at
once and no Senator opposing the measure
should ever hope for reelection.
Just at the approach of spring, when the
faithful hen is preparing to resume business,
along with the rest OF our native industries,
any literature OF such nature would be OF
the greatest value, and the issue should not
stop at paltry $4,000 dozen. Every man,
woman and child in the commonwealth
should be provided with copy. Our birds
and our fishes have been suitably mbellished;
why draw the line at the hen?
