CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
PASS THE ARBITRATION TREATY

PASS THE ARBITRATION TREATY
Now that the arbitration treaty has
been amended so as to meet all objec-
tions to it, those who oppose it and
some who favor it are urging that il is
scarcely worth passing.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth The true value ofthe arbitra-
tion treaty lies not in it's details or in
the powers which il confers or with
! holds, but in its proof of national pur-
pose. If nation wants war it will
have that, and if 1t prefers arbitration
IL can always secure that. This is the
reason why the United States has fig
ured in thirty-nine arbitFations on its
own account, fully two-thirds of all
that have been held. The American
people prefer this way of settling diff
culties, and intend to practice it.
But there always exists the peril that
some gusty flaw of national passion will
find the better instincts Of the nation
dormant, and that an interested or am
bilious plea will be made for war at a
time when the national authorities are
for some reason disinclned toward
peace
This is always liable to happen. and
at such a time a formal treaty of arbi-
tration would be the rallying point
about which the better desires of the
nation would gather. The mere exist
ence Of a treaty naming the methods
by which a disputed case can be placed
before arbitration would constitute it.
self powerful plea for peaceful set
tlement. However determined on war
it would be difficult for any president
and secretary of state 70 insist on a
hostile course when the Engn--- gov
enment proHered arbitration under an
existing treaty in which the national
faith was pledged to abide by an appeal
to an international court.
Moreover, the present treaty is but
for five years. The future Is certain co
sec constant and continuous growth
of the national purpose to seek justice
through law and not through war. The
naticn wants the treaty. No man can
doubt this. No senator can deny it.
The flowing tide and the advancing
wave are with the principles it en-
bodies Each year will see ,Aem
stronger. Pass the treaty in what shape
you will now, time and the future will
see to it that the seed planted to-day
! It may be by hands half hostile, will
take root downward and bear fruit up
ward and its leaves shall be for the
healing Of the nations from the evil OF

WEDNESDAY. APRIL I, 1897.
LEr Us BUILD THE CANAL.


Since the new administration has OK
pressed its sentiments concerning the
projected excavation OF a ship canal
across the great American Isthmus,
there appears to be some hope OF some
thing being done in this direction un-
der the patronage of the government
The benefits to be derived from the
completion of this waterway are so
clear that IL is to be hoped that the ad-
ministration will conceive an issue sim
liar to that transmitted to the Senate
by President Arthur and afterwards
withdraw. It would add greatly to
our national reputation If, after the
dismal failure Of the Panama project
under the patronage Of the French gov
ernment and the abandoned work Of
the Nicaragua company, we should fin
ish the undertaking of the latter enter
prise through our national credit.
The disposition of the new chief ex-
ecutive in this connection is believed
TO be in favor OF government support,
and Secretary Sherman declared himself
in its behalf while in the Senate. The
possibilities of such treaty negotiations
with the united Central American re-
publics being pressed as are necessary
before we can assume control of the
territory through which the canal must
pass, are voiced in Mr.. Shormans ad-
dress just previous to his retirement
from the Senate.
My position in respect to that canal
Is well-known to senator's" said the
prospective secretary of state. Il have
always believed. and still believe that
the only way by which the Nicaraguan
canal could be built was by the action
and credit of the government of the
United States. When the Arthur treaty
cametous, a atreatywhich lam not tatlib-
erty to discuss, ! supposed that through
1t we might accomplish the object, and
II that treaty had been adopted by the
Senate at that time, l have little doubt
the Nicaraguan canal would have been
completed by this time. At all events
Nicaragua, by that treaty, practically
gave us the control of Lake Nicaragua.
the river and the whole region between
the two oceans. 1t was a broad and lib
eral treaty, so liberal as to indicate on
the part of Nicaragua an earnest desire
TO complete the canal. That that de-
sire still remains have no doubt what
ever. / should be very glad to see
treaty made between Nicaragua and the
United States. which would provide
for the completion of the canal, some
thing that would be acceptable to the
United States government, and that we
should proceed to deal with that canal
precisely as we have dealt with the
great canal upon Lake Superior and
other public works of our country"
There can be little doubt but that Mr..
Sherman, as secreatry OF state, will
carry out the policy outlined in his SEN
atorial address, and that ne will have
the full endorsement OF the Committee
on Foreign Relations with him in the
undertaking.

AFTER A GOOD OFFICE.
REGISTER FERGUsON's TERM OF.
OFFICE EMPIRES NEXT MONTH.
SOME STRONG OPPOSITION.

TIOE EAflnES NEAI MONIh.
SOME STRONG OPPOSITION.
On May 81. less than two months
from now, the term of office of Register
in Chancery COlen Ferguson, clerk Of
the Orphans Court, will expire, and
Governor Tunnel must have a success
scr ready to appoint few days before.
The term Of register in chancery and
clerk of the Orphans Court is for four
years
Mr.. Ferguson, who has made an eff
cient official, and is popular with all
the patrons Of his office, is a candidate
for reappointment, and It is admitted
that he stands an excellent chance. But
there are others in the push" before
Governor Tunnel.
Acting Assistant Cen
eral Armon d. Chaytor would like to be
getting some Of the emoluments of Of
flee, as well as the glory Of
part Of 1t, which he has
been trying to live on for some time.
Trustee Of the Poor Alfred P. Crockett,
of Appoquinimink hundred, who fire.
quently takes a trip to Chincoteague, Is
also anxious to try four years in the
court, and has asked for this office. He
shouted for Tunnel at the gubernatOr-
ial nomination and fought for him at
the election last Fall.
Then there is Thomas Weldin, of
Brandywine hundred, who thinks it
high time that his hundred got a
Court House office, and he wants to
succeed Register Ferguson. There is
also Eben Frazer, of White Clay Creek
who thinks that "Eben Frazer, regis
ter would look all right in print and
that he could get along splendidly with
Chancellor Nicholson anu Judge Grubb.
Last, but not littlest, comes Will
mingtOn's young man-John f. Gala
han. He wants this office, and when
he enters the race for an office his op-
ponents, who know his hustling abili-
ties, begin to quake.
All the above men are applying be-
fore Governor Tunnel for the office,
and one CT them-or some other man
will be in charge of the office just two
months hence.

When the General Assembly fixes a
day for the close Of the reception OF
new business. it should make it i'm
perative, and not merely matter of
form. Heretofore resolutions of that
character have not been properly re-
garded, because in years gone by there
has always been failure to enforce
them, and the public thought from this
fact that the General Assembly was
merely talking to the galleries Once
have it understood that under no con-
sideration will new business be received
after a certain day, and the people will
get their bills in. Then the members
will know just what they have to do
and can estimate intelligently upon
how long it will take to do it.
