The Arbitration Trap.

From the CINCINNATI Enquirer.
This miserable sell-out treaty is on
its last legs. The senate will so amend
it that it might as we'll be thrown INTO
the fire. They will make it provide
that the two nations can arbitrate on
each question as it arises if they desire
to do so, and that it will require the
president and the senate in each case
TO determine whether to consent TO
arbitration or not. They will also
probably declare that it will not arb
trate concerning the Monroe doctrine,
or the Central American isthmus, or
our right TO any OF our territory.
The London press has already pro-
nounced upon the amended treaty.
They say that the senate has stabbed ii
to death. We rejoice that the London
press thus certifies to the patriotism of
the American senate. We trust that
body will decorate the treaty with
amendments such as will leave 1t n
thing of shreds and patches, despite all
the gush which has been poured out
over it by the people who have read 1t
and by those who refuse to interpret II
in the light of British ~antecedents. 1t

patriotism and intelligence, and was

4 petition to congress signed by per-
sons Interested in the beet sugar indus
try has been extensively circulated of
late. The Petition is a protest against
the continuance of the Hawaiian treaty
of 1875, and sets forth hat the treaty
has been operative against the reve-
nues of the country as well as vitality
detrimental to the beet sugar industry
here. Ii shows that in the interchange
of business between the countries the
island has enjoyed IS per cent of the
total volume, and this is naturally
Increased under the augmenting ex-
ports of sugar without a corresponding
increase in their imports from the

hat the treaty is only partially reel
pIOcal and that the United States has

cowHERp.s BRILLIANT EFFORT.

From the Kansas City Times.
Missouri is deservedly proud of her
delegation in congress. Not One'of the
forty-fve states in the union a excel
it in the brilliancy, accomplishments
and e~tatesmanlike attributes of its
members.
At its head stands the serene, wise
and tireless Cockrell the versatile, elo-
quent and daring Vest in the senate.
In the house it presents the indomitable
and rugged Bland, the alert, coura-
geous and incisive Dockery, the skillful
and witty DeArmond, the inimitable and
plucky Champ Clark, the eloquent
Benton, the erudite Cochran and the
other democratic members of the con-
gressIonal phalanx, each of whom
would satisfy the most excellent and
exactlng constituency that can be
picked out anywhere in the United
States.
Not the least among MissOuri's con-
gressional galaxy is the representative
from the fifth district, Hon. William S.
Cowherd. His maiden speech, made
in the house Tuesday, was a surprise to
the older members of that body. 1t
was, however, no matter of wouderment
to his proud constituents who have
seen his requirements as a skillful
debater and accomplished orator tested
on many a hastings and proven in
many a forensic battle. The effort
made by Mr.. COwherd is said to have
attracted the attention of Dingley of
Maine, Dalzell Of Pennsylvania, DOLL
yer of Iowa, GrOsvenor of Ohio, and
other well-known leaders of the major
ity. These experienced republican
debaters were made aware hat in the
gifted young representative from Kan
sas City a new and powerful ally from
Missouri had been added TO the ranks
of the lighting democracy.
The men who sent Mr.. Cowherd to
represent this district in the ifty-fifth
congress are to be congratulated on
having their judgment receive the en-
dorsement OF the best and most expert
enced judges OF a public mans abilities
that can be found anywhere. They
picked HIM as a winner and made no
mistake.
1t may confidently be predicted that
his career ia congress will make appli-
cable to him what Daniel Webster once
said of the inspired and matchless
Sergeant S. Prentis: ''He is one OF the
few men whose performances in on
gress exceed the reputation for ability
he brought with hIm to Washington"

COWHERD TALKS TARIFF.
The 9TH District Congressman Makes
A Great Mark Early in the Action.

Congressman Cowherd made n great
speech in the house Tuesday. 1t was
the congressman's maiden speech in
Washington. The following is the
Associated Press report of the speech
congressman w. S Cowherd, of
Kansas City, made his maiden speech
in congress today. Ii was on the agri-
cultural schedule of the Dingley tariff
bill, with especial reference to that
section which seeks to lay a prohlbitive
duty on Mexican cattle. Only ten
minutes time was allowed the member
from Kansas City, but he utilized it
we'll. His speech caught the house
and it commanded the respectful atten-
lion of such able men as Dingley Of
Maine, Dalzell OF Pennsylvania, Dolli-
yer of Iowa, Grosvenor of Ohio and
Hopkins of Illinois, all we'll known
leaders on the republican side.
ssMr. Cowherd may have been
what embarrassed by his surroundings,
but he did not show it in his speech.
He spoke with the ease of a veteran and
won for himself a prominent place in
the ranks of the young orators of the
house. His many telling points against
the duty on Mexican cattle were gener-
ally applaaded by the democrats and
listened to with close attention by the
republicans. 1T was a blow at the farm
ers of the west said MIR Cowherd,
whose surplus products were given to
a market, which otherwise could moi
be had. II the republicans really
wanted TO benefit the farmers, they
should have made the duty lighter,
thus affording revenue and still giving
the western farmers an easy market for
corn and hay Mr.. COwherd's speech
of today and that of Congressman
Cooney, of the seventh district, yester-
day, who also spoke forcibly and well,
were distinctive features of the debate"

HigginsvIlle Leader: Mexico's free
silver is good enough for United
States people at all times except
during a political campaign. As evil
dence we take the following from a
Waterloo, Iowa, paper: 1.-The exper-
iment of exporting corn direct from
Iowa is being tried by Mr.. zimmerman
at Perry, TO the city of Mexico. Am
norman recently made a trip to that
couatry, and while there closed a con-
tract with the Mexican government to
deliver within the next eight months
$50, 900 bushels or more of corn. The
grain is now being shelled and shipped
on this contract at the rate of twenty
cars a week. The experiment is beng
watched with interest, and 1t seems
probable that that country may become
n regular market for Iowa corn.
