AN EMBARRASSING TREATY.

Congress is awakening to the fact that the treaty with Great Britain by which neither nation keeps naval armament upon the great lakes. is very embarrassing Under its provi- sions the United States is completely defenceless along those shores. But Great Britain has more than 100 light draft gunboats, which within a week after declaration of war would swarm up the St. Lawrence river and lay waste the lake cities, without a possi. bility of raising hand or firing q agun in defence Coming to sense Of that situation the house committee on foreign affairs has reported a resolu. tion calling on the state department for information in the matter.
 The treaty in question was framed more than generation ago, and is only one of the many stratagems by which Great Britain has palayered American diplomatists into giving away" their country. Whenever a British diplomatist talks about the brotherhood of the two nations" "their community of interest" and all that rot, look out for him. There is always "a cat in the meal tub" That is why the senate is proceeding so slowly in taking up Secretary Olney's new arbitration treaty with Great Britain.

SAME PRINCIPLE.

The Journal Miner says the Courier is advocating republican doctrine when it desires that drummers, be made to pay license; on the contrary we are advocating the democratic doctrine of equality before the law and special privileges to none. A license is tax and men who come here and do business without paying any sort of tax are specially priyi- privileged class. Prescott Courier.
 On the same principle when an English manufacturer sends goods into American markets without pay ing license in the form of tariff duties he is enjoying a special priyi- lege to which he is not entitled, which also works detriment to the Amer ican manufacturers who do pay taxes here. Hence tariff is erected to take that special privilege away from the foreign manufacturer. That is Jack sonian democracy. And today the Republican party is the exponent of that principle,

 T am a republican, and if the man who is nominated by the conyen- Jion is the right kind of q man, that is, a man wanted by the people and not by few men who do business in hack rooms, l shall support him, work for him, and do all in my power to elect him, no matter whether he is put up by the machine or not.

A Nogales exchange mentions an importation Of Mexican cattle of .JH head. by F. C. lIermosillo, which were sold to Kansas City purchasers The amount of duty paid was g. GOO, which according tc the present tariil is sup posed tO be twenty per cent of the value of the valuation of the herd. On this basis the herd would have been valued at Sl0,000, or an average of less than s650 per head. -I Southwestern StOckman.
 The Stockmln is evidently endeay- bring to insinuate something wrong in the administration of the custom house at Nogales. The valuation as above noted was doubtless what Mr Hermosllo paid for the cattle down in Sonora. The law expressly says that the appraised valuation for entry shall be the actual cost of the property imported at the place where bought, and that freight or commissions shall not be added. So the Stockman can see that the difference between the appraised value of this importation of Sonora cattle and prices of such cattle on the American side of the line is only their cost of transportation from the interior of Sonora together with q reasonable profit for the importer. That there is anything wrong in the transaction the Stockman is assured cannot be possible.

or COURSE.

Mexico. the country Co which the goldites pointed as the horrible ex-
 ample of free silver, is plodding right
 along, going ahead and not behind.
 The income from revenues for the
 fiscal year are Sj0,00O. .O0O and eXpen- ditures some hundred thousand less.
 The receipts from customs are on the
 average, $2, 100000 month, and in-
 creasiDg. The financial statement for
 the last year shows that there Is
 surplus of over five million in the
 treasury. Manufacturing is lncreaS-
 ing. The coffee crop will be the largest
 in the history of the country this year
 and general prosperity is in store for
 Mexico notwithstanding the oft re-
 peated untruths of Mexico during the
 recent campaign. Arizona Star
 Of course Mexico is booming. But
 it is not free silver which is booming
 that country. Nor was Mexico ever
 pointed out as a "horrible example," In the recent campaign it was pointed out that the condition Of the laboring
 man was not improved by the silver basis upon which business is done. And why should not Mexico boom? POrtiriO DiaZ, one of the greatest statesmen of the age, has given that great republic stable government, insured protection to life and property everywhere, and induced capital to invest largely. Has not the Star noted that there are no train robberies in Mexico. Train robbers and bandits are shot in Mexico. And the arrest ing officer Is judge, jury and execu- tioner. Has the Star forgotten the Trlbolet affair over at Fronteras last year? With such security is it any wonder that capital is flowing into Mexico to buy for s30 per acre in sil- yer, lands which will yield oranges better than California raises on lands which command $l00 per acre in gold? Is it at all remarkable that Mexico is prospering and that capital goes there to invest in mines when a miner can be hired to work day for Sl50 silver, when the American mine owner has to pay s2.50 and $3.OO gold for the same service? Is 1t any wonder that manufacturers are thriving in Mexico with cheap labor and a protective tariff beside which the Mckinley bill | was free trade? Is 1t at all remark able that Mexico is booming when the 1 government is extending great rail- way system by granting liberal subsi- | lies to aid construction? Another | great cause for the prosperity of Mex leo is that there are no democrats nor | Dopulists there. As soon as would | De Mexican democrat or populist rises )n his hind legs to bray against sub- iidizing railways, or leyying high protective tariff, or against anything hat the progressive government .ssays, he is straight way clapped into he nearest jail.

BICYCLES TO STAND STILL.
DR.. Roby Tnvents an Apparatus That
Has Long Been Sought

DR.. Roby of this city is the inventor of
an apparatus which is likely to bring
him both fame and fortune. 1t consists
of a bicycle attachment, by means of
which bicyclists can stop their wheels at
any moment and still retain their seat on
the machine 1t may be said to be a
step towards bringing the bicycle to the
same standard of usefulness and conven-
fence as the horse, and is something that
all cyclists have wished for since the in
vention of the safety bicycle
With the apparatus attached to the biz
cycles, two wheelmen can stop in the
middle of Kansas avenue, sit on their
machines and discuss politics, religion,
the auditorium or anything else that
forms topic for conversation In the
same manner lady cyclists can hold gos-
siping bees on the shady sides of To-
peka's paved streets. The person on the
machine simply touches q small lever
and the machine comes to a standstill,
and is Immediately transformed into a
supported seat. The lever is again
touched when the rider is ready to go on,
and the machine once more becomes a
means of transportation.
DR.. Roby has made application for a
patent on his invention, and has already
one of the attachments on his wheel
The lever releases two small, but strong
steel bars on either side of the rear wheel
when it is desired to stop the machine
and these form the necessary supports.

rA1LoRs' AWFUL SITUATION.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch
It was only a few days ago, on the
eve of his departure for Europe, that
Bishop Potter called down upon himself
the most violent abuse by statements he
made in regard to labor. Recognizing
that there was al times a JuSrlncaIlOn
for strikes, if, indeed, they We're not IN
evita BILE, the Bishop pointed out that
while machinery had done much for the
advancement of civilization, 1t was not
an unmixed blessing. He spoke with
regret of the limitations placed upon
the modern machine mans development
by the simplicity of the tasks imposed
upon him under the present subdiviS-
ions of labor, as compared to the lot of
the handicraftsman of old. He pointed
out the unfortunate fact that this, with
the introduction of machinery, had
more and more tended to separate en-
plOyer and emplOye, who under the old
regime were members of one house
hold, almost of one family. He did not
by any means wish to underestimate
the benefits obtained by progress, but
simply refused to shut his eyes to what
he considered some of its evils, though
not regarding them as at all sufficient
to advise a retrogressive course.
He was vigorously blamed for the eX-
preston of such sentiments, and now
there is peculiar significance in some of
the aspects of the strike in which thou
sands of garment workers are involved
in Greater New York. Without enter
ing into a discussion of the merits of
the strike, none can seriously dispute
that the striking tailOrs are worse hOus-
ed and worse fed than almost any class
of workers in any city under the sun, or
that there is any more conspicuous eX-
ample of such evils as Bishop Potter
said were incidental to the introduction
of machinery on a large scale. AS for
the tendency of the system to Sunder
employer and employe. here is a state
ment from member of one of the larg-
est manufacturing houses, who, of
course, does most of his business with
the workers through the middleman,
sweater or contractor, whichever one
chooses to call him. The manufactur-
err" says this man, cannot be expected
to attend to the complaints of those
with whom really he has nothing to do
L do not see how they can very well af-
ford to strike when their condition is
so awful already" In other words the
real employer disclafms all responsible
ity and then wonders that human be-
ings should dare to strike when they
have reached the depths of desperation.

through the woods I happened upon

where my attention was attracted by
a catbird. Perched upon low
pine in the middle of the clearing
he was listening to the distant notes of
a cardinal grOsbeak, his head turned
to. one side, the better to catch the
strain. When the cardinal would drop
his theme the Catbird would take 1t up,
giving a very fair and recognizable rem
ditiOn OF it. Suddenly from the woods
near by came one of the liquid phrases
of a wood-thrush. The catbird at once
turned his attention to the new singer
and, after a moments pause, during
which he seemed to be fixing the notes
in his memory, reproduced with tOler-
able erect the simple phrase, and then
waited with a self satisfied and con-
thrush, ObliViOuS of his humbl ini-
tator, followed his first phrase with one
containing one of the low Classmates
which constitute the principal charm
Of his singing, and which are literally
inimitable.
The catbird listened most attentively,
cooking his head first on one side and
ter carefully for awhile, his confidence
meantime perCeptibly OOzing out like
Bob Acres courage, then finally ducked
his head ashamedly and flew off into
the neighbOring pines without uttering
a sound.

Der Of famous engineers of Europe to

Sissippi may be controlled and prevent

There is no wrong for which law does
not contemplate a remedy, no evil to
which large numbers of persons are ex-
posed that it is not the duty of the gov
eminent to abridge or destroy. The
devastatiOns by great floods in the Mis-
sissippi are national in the character
of the disasters that they entail AS a
mere matter of economy it is worth
while to spend literally to prevent the
recurrence of such losses of property

the last two months, and which, unfor-
tunately, are likely to aff1ict the people
of vast territory for some weeks to
come.

tETOrn the BOSlOn E1eLd4u'J
Toronto has at last stepped down
from the doubtful eminence of being
about the only large city on this con-
tinent where street cars are not per-
mitted to run on Sundays. The contest
between the strict Sabbatarians and
the people could see nothing wrong
in being provided with the ordinary
cOnveniences for Sunday travel has
been prolonged and animated, the bust
ness interests arraying themselves on
one side and the clergy on the other
The charter of the street railway COM
pany allows a vote to be taken on this
question every third year, and this is
the third time the matter has been put
to a popular vote. Seven years ago the
majority against the running of cars
was over 1000. Three years later the
adverse majority was cut down to 900,
and now the people have voted in favor
of the Sunday cars by a majority of 479
in a total vote of 32,387. The people of
Toronto are to be congratulated upon
having obtained a release from the
bondage of a. narrow prejudice.
