Congrossman Johnson. Of California
had been commended for making an open
confession on the floor OF the House that
I'm his youth he committed q crime and
fed from justice on the other hand
CONGRESSMAN Mcguire has been univer-
sally condemned for having raked ny
this old charge against Mr.. Johnson
II is to be said In Mr.. Johnson's be-
half that he has fully atoned for his
offence by leading correct life since II
was committed. and BY making fun resti-
tuition In money TO the person against
whom the offence was committed IL
such a case charity If not common jus
tice. demands that the man shall be
forgiven. and that his sin shall be blot
ted out and remembered against him
no more forever As he himself has so
well said. there ought to be statute OF
limitation in such cases TO protect man
who has redeemed the past.
But while saying this much for Mr..
Johnson. and while noting the fact that
his appeal to the members Of Congress
was greeted with applause, we must save
the point that Mr.. Johnson's case IS
one I'm a thousand. We do not pretend
TO say that a man who commits crime
in youth may not atone and lead there
after an honest and honorable life, but
the chances are largely against such
course. A young man. who begins life
with a crime is apt 10 end life i'm hunilia-
ton. At any rate it IS u dangerous
experiment. and at best the skeleton in
the closet will be continually rafting its
dry bones
Mr.. Johnson's case while serving as
encouragement to those who have thus
sinned must serve also as warning to
those who have not. At time when he
least expected it, years after the crime
was committed and atoncd for. az a TING
when his people had honored him by
sending him TO Washington TO represent
them in the National Congress. this Oh
skeleton was dragged out by the hand Of
a merciless opponent and held up 10 the
gaze of Mr.. Johusons colleagues and the
people OF the United States. IL is d
sad story and one which the young men
of this country may study to their profit.

TIE AKHIIRATION Treaty.

Grover Cleveland has been far from
realizing our conception OF an ideal Presi-
dent. but he has done some things that
will rebound TO the interest and advan-
tage OF the people OF the United States
as long as our Union exists. The chief
one is. Of course the stubborn. unyielding
stand he took and maintained against
any lowering OF our standard Of value
Every property right and interest that
every citizen Of the United States has
depends for its value and security upon
q fixed and unchanging standard OF value.
and, when Grover Cleveland set his face
like steel against every scheme and pro-
posal TO degrade our standard OF value
he fought the battle Of every wage earn
or and OF every man, woman, and child
who owns anything. or who has any hope
In life. The American people never can
adequately thank him for the boundless
service which he rendered them in that
battle. II is not too much 10 say that
he saved the country from unspeakable
disaster.
OF many other services he has rendered
our people. we place next in order or linz
portance TO his services in our finances.
the treaty of arbitration which he has
negotiated between this country and
Great Britain. ANY serious breach be
tween the two branches OF the English
speaking people would not only be ut
terly destructive of Tie highest interests
OF both. but would be actually a crime
against civilization. Mr.. Cleveland has
now placed. as far "a he can, the pos
sibillty of such an event almost beyond
contemplation. All OF our differences. as
they arise. are now 10 be referred To an
arbitration court. so composed that IL
must command respect for independence
and impartiality. and even IL the almost
impossible thing should happen that either
party was unwilling 10 abide by the de-
cision OF this tribunal. still. before a shot

power must be appealed to to see II it

and ridiculous. II Is no particular tri-
umph for the Marquis OF Salisbury's
statcsmanship. and most scf-respectinS
English would like TO forfeit the circum-
stances leading TO Il. The passage In our
history, beginning with the Venezuelan
trouble and President Cleveland's gross
insult and ending with the conclusion or
the treaty. contains nothing 10 be proud
OF. and a great deal which most OF us
would be glad 20 obliterate
The IN temper of this article Is it's
smallest fault England has had no rea-
soa TO complain OF her arbtrations with
this country. She had 10 pay large dam
ages In the Alabama affair. II is true,
but perfectly impartial arbitration de-
cided that she owed Them. She won
every point OF moment in the Behring
Sea arbitration. and she cannot say that
this country has failed 70 accept loyalty
tho result OF the decision in that case.
The wise men who direct her affairs con-
tanned themselves well a year ago. when
our own heat and inconsiderateness led
us to do very foolish things in connection
with tho Venezuelan disputes. and they
thereby avoided a possible war Intern
perate English jingoes may think that
the Marquis OF Salisbury lowered Eng
lands prestige by not Immediately de-
clarlng war upon this country when we
assumed our very violent and arbitrary
tone in the Venezuelan business. But
sensible men everywhere, in America as
well as England and on the continent
have nothing but praise for Lord Sails
bury. for his dignlhed ana self-contained
manner I'm which hd held on firmly TO
Englands important rights. while ig-
norng everything that had in 1t elements
OF temper and buster. and all that tend
ed to stir up irritation and strife.
We are glad to believe that the Globes
sentiments are shared 10y few English
men. and that Englishmen and Ameri-
cans alike look upon our arbitration treaty
as the last link needed TO bind these two
great peoples together in enduring bonds
that will last as long as our civilization.
