THE ARBITRATION TR EArY.

The chances Of the ratification of the

McKinley's warm advocacy of it in his
inaugural address. Commentator Of
the treaty by Cleveland rather hurt
its chances with the majority of
the Senators of his own party, whose
policy 1t has been for several years past
to find out where he was and then get
on the opposite side, and did not i'm
prove then with the Republicans. The
effect of commentator by Mckinley
will be far different. No Democrats who
is In favor of it now will be alenated by
the fact that Mckinley favors il,
while most of the Republicans who
are opposed or luke warm are likely to
speedily find reasons for changing their
minds and getting on to the Presidents
side The Senate does not allow itself to
forget that the amount of patronage at
its disposal is likely to depend somewhat
on the maintenance of harmony with the
executive. and is inclined therefore to
keep in touch with him as long as posi-

with the President in regard to meas

of the people as we'll as his. We may

for sometime to come we may confidently

which it has in thep past. The Republicans
will lie standing by" --the adminlstra-

to the promises :of sMr. MoKinley's in

national disputes as some of them have
been doing for some mo nths past.

School Room Decoration.
To the Editor of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
am very glad to learn that the Wom-
ans Literary Union Of this city has TAX
en- up the matter Of school room deoora-
ton, and is carrying out it's plans with
energy and, so far as understand them,
with great discretion. In some of our
cities there has been decided revolt
against the old-time baroness and
cheerlessness of our public school room.
1t is being recognized that the aesthetic
sense of children, and that they possess
it none can doubt should be cultivated;
that through the eye the moral and spir-
itual nature can be trained, gradually
and, at first, perhaps imperceptibly. but
not the less surely. Some of the most
lessons of kindness, thoughtfulness
for others, sympathy and love ale more
effectually taught By beautiful pictures
than by text books or ethics. 1t is pro-
posed by the ladies of the Literary Union,
SO far as funds are eceived to provide
the school rooms Of the various grades
with appropriate engravings, photo
graphs, etc-preserving, land this is q
most important element), unity OF sub

Will be takea that these decorations are

rounded by these masterpieces will then
be trained to appreciate beauty, and be-
cause things seen are mightier than
things heard. They will themselves be
led into the love of "the true, the beau
tiful and the good.
1t is most earnestly to be hoped that
the ladies of the Literary Union may be
heartily seconded by the aid of our citi-
zens in this most excellent crusade.

The Districts degree of responsibility for
this result Is apparently sufficient to sug-
gest the taking of immediate steps to pre-
vent further trouble from this source. The
recommendations made to the Commits
sioners by the street lighting Inspector are
well aimed at the cause of the trouble
and should be promptly enacted into stat
utory form. There must be no fimsy,
cheap work done in this city in the in
stallation of such plants. Washingtons
standards are high and should be MAIN
tained. Congress has delayed action on
the subway and conduit questions until it
seems assured that something in this line

part Of the century, and In connection with
the affairs Of New York. Two men Of that
state of great influence in national affairs
at that time were George and De Witt
Clinton. The former was twicesVice Pres
fdent, and the latter United States sena-
ter. Both possessed fine abilities and un-
bounded ambitions. Both quilted national
life to return to state politics. and found
large usefulness there De Witt Clinton
resigned from the Senate to accept the
mayoralty Of New York. and from that Of
fee was elevated to the governorship Of
the state. He. was anxious to be chosen
President, but his activities at home d.
vfded In the end his power at home, and
his wishes were not gratified. The Erie
canal is the monument to his memory. and
preserves his name more than anything he
was able to do while in national life. The
two Clintons indeed are remembered now
more for their power and performances in
the greatest state in the Union than for
any impress they left on national affairs
while distinctly national figures.
New York still maintains its leadership
among the states. 1t is still the theater Of
great enterprises, and still inviting for men
of ambition and large capabilities. Greater
New York Is a genuinely big thing among
cities. and neither General Tracy nor Mr..
Fairchild is making any mistake in put
ting high value on the prizes that are
celd up there. They are well worthy the
