AGAINST THE TREATY.

America wants no more Bulwer-Clay-
ton treaties which read turkey for Eng
land and bu2zard only for the United
States. The American people are
against the arbitration scheme patched
up between Olney and Pauncefote. No
general meeting has been called to con-
slider it and failed of denouncing it.
Even where meetings of peace-people
have been druInined up they have re-
suited about as that one held night be-
fore last III New York City. Repre-
senta:ives of American honor and man.
hood understanding the question have
s.ampeded every such meeting into op-
position. No vital principle or issue Of
great Importance can be settled by ar
bi:raIion taffy. The great arbiter Of
history has been the sword, and will be.
England would give up no island how
ever insignificant, nor knock under TO
any demand however unimportant
through -talkee. The guns of her
navy and army will do the talking
wherever and whenever any matter Of
importance is involved. The English
speaking" platitude cuts no figure. Eng
land has shown within the fortnight
that even where Christianity is leopard
lied she will side against the Christian
where il is to her material interests.
IF. therefore, the present Republican
administIa ton permits itself to be
pressed into taking up Cleveland's arbi-
tration treaty, it will make mistake.
That treaty will only stand for aught
when the United States is asked to
make a concession and worthless as TO
any claim against the British empire.

ENTIRELY TOO MUCH MONEY.

President Mckinley In his inaugural
said that the way TO meet the present
deficiencies was by economizing, by
cutting down expenses TO the level OF
the income The general congress, as
all the state legislatures of late, seem TO
have resolved themselves into log-rolf
Ing combinations in efforts 10 increase
governmental expenditures Without
reference 10 the times or prices appro-
priations go on annually increasing.
Chairman Cannon of the appropriation
committee OF the house declared the
other day that the outlay exceeded by
many millions the legitimate demands
Of the public service. The last congress
exceeded a billion of dollars in the APP
preparation by as much as $43, o00, OOo.
Cannon saws the rules of the house and
so-called senatorial courtesy is at the
bottom OF this wild extravaganza. More
specifically, he condemns the senate
practice of amending appropriation bills
and the system Of dividing the prelinl-
mary consideration of appropriation
bills among n number Of committees.
Mr.. Savers Of the same committee,
while believing that the continuing con
tract plan is necessary in public works,
thinks that it has been carried to un>
necessary lengths. These views, COM
ing from both sides OF the political
fence, cannot he suspected Of bias. 1t
is full time that halt was called, and
President Mckinley can strengthen his
party and the more securely command
the confidence and love of the people
by enforcing as a policy the observation
or advice of hisiinaugural.

Dissatisfaction With the Old Sys EN-
EOt:s From the Square.

There has been considerable talk among
tho citizens in relation to the action taken
by the mem bers of the Town Council at
the meeting last Friday evening, and some
of the largest taxpayers approve the
councils work They say the only fault
to lind is that similar action was not
taken NUN Der of years ago or when the
town paid the SUM OF $500 instead OF SlOO
"a it was obliged to in the simmons
case.
This as will be remembered was the
'stone bridge affair ana cltiZen Dut
in IA claim for 500 which was allowed by
the council. The town treasurer ignored
tho right of the town council 10 order the
bill paid and refused to nay it on the
ground that the citizen did not own the
laud from which the stones We're taken
The citizen said the town and the case
were non-suited on account CT the
citizen declaring that the land was in
his wlfe's name. Another suit followed
Lhis time in the name OF the citizens wife
and instead of the town getting out OF
tho scrape us it might have done for
Sl00 IL was forced To pay $500. Many
think the town treasurer was TO blame
for the needless expenditure OF Sl40O OF
tho amount
The present town council is not on the
most friendly terms with the town treas
urer from the fact that members of the
beard have called upon him from time TO
time for statements and "a far as can la
learned they have not up 20 the present
time received any response. The board
cannot get him to attend the meetings of
the board so that they may learn moro of
the condition of affairs There are other
officials who do not receive any salary
whatever who are on hama at the meet
ings and are ready and 10 assist in en-
tightening the members Of the board on
matters pertaining TO the town.
IL Is also stated by mem bers of the
board that tho town treasurUr tas
never toen in favor OF having n town
solicitor as he would much prefer TO
handle oil cases against the town as he
saw ii Ii looks now, however, as if the
board will ses TO IL that the suits aga
the town will In the future be made
public and disposed of at much less cost
TO the taxpayers.
When the question was raised in rela-
tion to taking the handling of the cases
from tine town treasurer. il was not on the
spur OF the moment, but had been pre-
viously arranged as there Is a case soon
To come before the courts, that is going
to cut quito "a figure in the politics OF the
town.
Many Of the taxpayers claim that they
are not treated as they shonld ba when
they call at the town hall and those who
pay taxes at the city hall in Providence
aud at tho town nall Of Johnston say that
in the treatment accorded them.
