Unconscious Heroism.

One of the young lady clerks on Water
street, whose residence is In Farmingdale,
is fully of the opinion that she was the
innocent cause of prevention OF
suicide. She was tripping down the
causeway this morning, and when near
the lower bridge she saw this snan with
respondent, homeless, Weary Charley
expression, a CLEAN, as she expressed
it, in his eye, that denoted that the cold
bosom of the Cobossee would tie prefer
able to life. She saw this poor, homeless
creature walk along to the railing OF
the bridge, plaoe one hand on the rail,
and as she thinks, was Just about to-
leap Into the yawning de pths, when she
reached him. He looked at her,
sadly expectorated large sized expecto-
rate of tobacco juice into the turbulent
waters and regretfully turned away.
Doubtless but for the opportune arrival
of this young LAZY, the fellow would
have jumped in and the police stations
and back door lunches that row know
him would know him no moresforever. 1t
was indie ed q heroic act on the young
lady's part-Gardiner Reporter-J ournal,

speeches for and against. These reports
indicate clearly enough that there is a
very strong opposition to the treaty,
some of it condemning any treaty at all,
and some of It demanding very substan-
tial notifications in the pending meas
ure before it will vote for it. The Sem
ate is usually very sensitive 10 regard to
its prerogatives. and in this treaty mat
ter that sensitivenoss is manifesting it,
salt. There is u strong sentiment in favor
of modifying the first section so that the
Senate shall determine practically what
subjects shall or shall not be submitted
to arbitratien-a sentiment SO strong In
fact that unless this modification IS
made the treaty is doomed to Gefeat.
Morgan and Mills and tia other jingoas
will not have the measure in any form II
they can help it, Mills taking the ground
squasely that to agree beforehand to set
tie matters by arbitration is pusillani-
nous and beneath the dignity of great
nation. Stewart apparently hns no par
ticular opinion in regard to the merits OF
the measure, but wants it to go over IN
til the next administration. There are q
few Senators who would like to press the
matter to speedy conclusion, but ap-
parently they are too few to bs able to
succeed even IL they should undertake it,
and that underlined, but exceedingly po-
tential thing known as Senatorial cour.
tesy'' may deter them from making the
attempt even. We may therefore safely
conclude that the arbitration treaty has
no chance werth considering of rauiflca
tion at this session, that it has little
chance at the next session unless eonsid-
erablY modified, and that any agreement
will be reached between the two countries
that will amount to much is very un-
likely.
