torlc name, and, 90 she AZ unQuestion-
ably entitled to the distinction, we are
always safo to question her motives.
What does strdy Of only portion
OF the treaty disclose? In the first
place, we find we abandon the Munroe
doctrine and leave it to become mere
matter OF arbitration, ind when We
abandon that doctrine we also abandon
our concessions in the Nicaragua canal
and our right to control there. The
people of this country will never con-
sent to either proposition.
But the worst feature in the whole
treaty, yet disclosed, is that article
which provides that, in the final event
OF the failure of all other tribunals, q
tribunal OF last resort shall be selected,
and this tribunal, the third article Of
the treaty declares, shall consist OF one
American and one British arbitrator,
and third arbitrator to be selected by
the King of Sweden and Norway, and
a majority of this tribunal shall have
power to render FINAL DECISION.
That is the sort of treaty that our
hasty and unthinking enthusiasts are
trying to bull-dose the senate into con-
frming.
But it is the sense of the people who
in the end decide things in America,
that we do not need, nor desire alliance
with England. We have heretofore
summed all "entangling alliances" with
Europe. Our policy is to pursue our
own way and to meet questions as they
arise from time to tine in iudicious
and intelligent manner and to settle
them as seems best under all of the
existing known circumstances. If we
bind ourselves by this treaty We simply
open Pandora's box of diplomatic quib-
b ing and we will never know exactly
what We are to arbitrate--where to
begin or whore to stop.

THE ARBITRATION TREATY.

The Senators, who declare that they
will not be driven into confirming the
arbitration treaty with England by the
hysterical and emotional talk of those
of our people who are moved to public
utterances by British born or pro-
English editors of mugwump news
papers, deserve the support of that
sturdy class OF Americans who have
good memories and who are, therefore,
suspicious of everything that England
wants very badly.
1t is evident that many Of those who
have spoken favorably of the treaty do
30 on general peace" principles. They
have not read the treaty sufficiently
well. They cannot understand it's pro-
visions. If they did We doubt whether
Shey would endorse it. When they
have mustered the intricate questions
involved they will thank such men as
Senator Hoar for putting on the brakes
and calling for deliberation.
In the first place, history teaches us
that England has always pursued very
selfish policy towards this:country and
her statesmen of the present day have
not changed from the general standard.
They are men who are accustomed to
make treaties when necessity arises and
who have seldom hesitated, and never
failed, to break them when the occasion
offered.
Even when the Clayton Bulwer treaty
of 1880 was being prepared, and at the
very moment that il was signed, Eng
land Was evading and avoiding it. She
proposed that this country and Eng
laiid should have an equal voice in the
Nicsragua canal, and agreed not to lay
claim to certain territory about the
mouth OF the canal, yet all the time she
was acquiring more and new territory
on and about the mosquito coast and
the adjacent islands.
But "perfidious Albion" is her hit..
