Nations, like individuals, must be
Judged by their records rather than their
assertions. England has a long diplo-
matte record, and it Is practically all
one way-that Of turning everything
possible to her own advantage. When
one studies that record and brings a lit
tie everyday common sense to bear npon
that arbitration treaty he Is very apt to
arrive at the conclusion that the amend
ments reported to the senate by the COM
mittee on Foreign relations are wise and
necessary precautions to prevent Eng
land taking future advantage of the
United States by claiming the right to
submit matters to arbitration, which
should not be so submitted. And no one
who will take the trouble to ascertain
the obligations of King Oscar, OF Swed-
en-, to England ought to doubt the wis
dom of striking out that clause Of the
treaty which made King Oscar the UNI
pire. No matter how honest man may
be he cnnot help being biased in favor
of those to whom he is obligated. In
addition to these arguments in favor OF
the amendments to the treaty, the critl-
cism of them by the English press indi'
Gates very plainly that original treaty
was considered more favorable to Eng
land than to the United States.

the harbor at Hammerfest, Norway ever

answer the question, and Mr.. Schroeder
of this place who is well versed in nau-
tical and geographical affairs says: that
Hammerfest, which means hammer PROOF
is at the north cape of Norway, longitude
23 degrees east of Greenwich, latitude
70 degrees north. HammerfeSt is the
most nOrtherly city on the globe inhabl-
ted by civilization, being farther north
than Upper NOvick, Greenland. There
is no navigation whatever from October
to May, as the harbOr for miles is a solid
mass of ice. Navigation begins in May
and even then navigatOrs must be very
careful to avoid coming into the plunge
of the MaelstrOme. The first steam
ships arrive from the southern part OF
Sweden, to take care of the fur trade.
During the summer the midnight sun
can be seen, while in the winter the din
ner is eaten, not knowing whether it is
1900 noon or 1900 midnight, the country
being in total darkness during tht

NEW DEMAND FOR CORN.

A press dispatch from Washington,
indicates that the question Of untaxed
alcohol in the arts is good deal wider
in its scope than is generally appreciat-
ed. 1t concerns not only the user OF alco-
hOl in manufactures, the arts and medi-
cines, but also the grower of the pro-
ducts from which alcohol is made. In
Germany alcohol is chiefly made from
potatoes. In this country corn and rye
are the products mainly used. If the
calculation of Mr.. Platt's committee Is
we'll founded, as it seems to be, there is
a vast possibility for the Western
farmer in untaxed alcohol for legitimate
use. As everybody knows, the only
reason for the simply outrageous tax on
alcohol, which amounts all the way
from 700 to 1900 per cent, according to
the price paid to the distiller, is that it
is used for manufacturing intoxicating
beverages. The world acknowledges
the prOpriety Of taxing these. But
when it involves tax OF $1.10 on a gal
lon of spirits, which can be bought by
the carload at the distillery for 7 to 10
cents and at retail Qess the tax at %
to 30 cents, it would seem as though
every possible effort should be made to
relieve our legitimate manufacturers
from the abnormal burden. Only one
excuse is anywhere alleged for cOntin-
uing this tax, and that is the liability to
fraud on the revenue. But Germany
has managed to enormously increase her
export manufactures by her liability in
freeing from tax the alcohol used in
them. France, Mr.. Platt's cOnmittee
say, is about to do the same thing.
Switzerland has always been liberal in
these laws. In none Of these countries
has their been any complaint Of serious
frauds in the administration Of these
laws. Almost every civilized nation on
the globe has some legislation in this di-
rection, and Mr.. Daley, Of New York,
who was a special commissioner, under
this very committee, to investigate the
subject, has made a most interesting and
able report, which shows that no serious
fraud anywhere exist. If the great corn
belt Of the country can in this way find
a market for large fraction Of its now
excessive crop, it will be doubly'
acting beneAt-it will enlarge the
farmers market, and enhance the value
of his crop, and it will greatly enlarge
our existing industries, and create new
ones. Thirty million bushels Of corn is
a large amount, but we shall find the
amount much less than the new order Of
things will call for.

The Old Iron Key.
A story OF Huntington sixty years ago.
By ]. B, LANG.

Remembering well the old log church.
That stood quite near the square,
And here the people gathered up
For preaching and for prayer.
Three small windows furnished light,
Two stoves done the heating.
Eastwood logs were split in too,
And made to do the seating,
A pulpit at one end was placed,
Twas made to face the door,
When brother Brock would swing MS arms
He hit the chamber floor.
One side the leading men would sit
The other side the women,
BY this arrangement men could see
The ladies bonnet trimming,
While waiting for the circuit man,
Who seemed to them quite SLOW,
The young folks gathered up and sang
"Blow ye the trumpet blow
The music made by those old songs
Would almost wake the nation.
Help Father Bartlett when he sung.
Old Near and Coronation.
The women sure to go to church,
And hear the preacher talk,
Would ride stone boat or sled,
Twas better than to walk,
The men by rolling up their pants,
Kept oxen in the road,
Be sure the boat kept right side up,
And not spill off the load.
Perhaps you'll think some fiction
Put in to make it rhyme,
A few are living Witnesses
And lived there at the time:
Now when they reached the meeting house,
AS you will shortly see,
They hitch the oxen, made them last.
From ten O'Clock til three.
These pioneers are nearly gone
A few are living still
To vouch for me to tell the truth,
The rest lie ON the hill
The old log meeting house is gone,
And nothing left to see,
Except the ground whereon 1t stood,
And the old iron key.

It is estimated that the amount of gold

The American citizens confined in
Spanish dungeons have demanded JUS
tice. Spain purposes to treat them in
stead as objects of mercy. They asked
only for their plain right to a prompt
and fair civil trial. After keeping them
in wretched confinement for months,
the BourbOns are to set them free to
celebrate boy Princes holiday.
And apparently nobody connected
with the Administration at Washington
is blushing for his country or thinking
how different it would be with an hour
of Andrew Jackson in the White House.
The Cuban patriots are lighting, sac
rifcing and dying for freedom. They
demand the "unalienable right" with
which our Revolutionary fathers de-
clared all men to be endowed by theiT
Creator life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" They stand upon our
immortal Declaration that Govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed"
This being their just demand, Spain
offers them amnesty upon surrender,
They ask for bread and are offered q
stone!
The release of American citizens un.
justly confined is small return for the
services that our Government has rem
dered to Spain in Cuba. And the prOffel
of pardon to men who have not asked il
will have little effect upon the struggle
whose issue is "liberty or death"

OUR IDLE coNvlcTs.
From Harper's Weekly.

Criminals are shut up in prisons,
among other reasons, for the reform
alton of the criminals themselves, and to
give them such training that they may
live honestly when they get out. In the
prisons Of New York State it is just now
failing Of accomplishment in painful
and unusual degree.
The section Of the new State Constitu-
tion which provides against the employ
ment of convicts in manufactures which
compete with the products of outside
labor went into effect at the beginning
of this year, and many cOnvicts were
thrown out Of work. The predicament
of these men is deplorable, and reports
of their condition make distressing read
ing. IdIeness isstrying to any one, but
for convicts in State. prisons, many Of
them evil-minded and prone to all sorts
of mental and moral distempers, nearly
all Of them coOped up in cells or within
narrow limits, and given very little
chance for physical exercise, 1t is Ia
mentally demoralizing. The interdict-
ion of convict labor has been tried be-
fore in this State, and its effects, which
any thoughtful person could forecast,
were familiar by actual experiment
The prison authorities and the Legisla-
ture had two years in which to prepare
for the condition which now obtains, but
very little preparation was made. The
wardens and the Prison Commission took
thought, itis true, but the Legislature
| neglected last year to pass the laws and
make the appropriations necessary to
carry out their plans. They have done
what they could. 1t is permitted to
manufacture goods for use in State in
stitutions, and so far as machinery now
in the prisons con be used for that pur-
pose, it is in use. Hand-lOOms have
been set up at Auburn for making cloth,
and some Of the Sing Sing prisoners are
making shoes by hand.
It behooves the Legislature to act
quickly in doing its part by passing
laws and providing money to carry out
such plans as have been devised for keep.
ing these poor men busy. One Of the
likeliest schemes is to put them at road
making. There is no competition ir
that. The State may employ cOnvicts OIL
its highways without interfering in thu
least with the gains of free labor or ex
citing any reasonable opposition from
the trades unions. But it cannot do i
unless the Legislature will vote none.
for the purpose, for to handle and guar'
cOnvicts outside of prison walls is ex
pensive.
Ten thousand persons in prisons, re
fOrmatories and other State and count
institutions are affected by the chang
in the Constitution. OF these the thre
thousand convicts are very much tn
worst off. 1t is their fault that they ar
in prison, but that does not excuse tn
Legislature from responsibility fC
their care. To neglect them is cruel a
; well as foolish. Whatever their fault
or crimes, so long as they behave prof.
erly in prison, they are entitled to sue

It is reported on what seems good
authority, that the French Government
desires to make like treaty Of general
arbitration with the United States.
Why not? We have no differences now
with France, and are likely to have none,
for which arbitration is not just, wise
and honorable mode Of adjustment. 1t
is natural that France should wish to
protect herself from the only possible
danger that can arise in her relations
with her sister republie-the danger Of a
rash and uncOnsidered step leading to
open hostilities. The only thing to
wonder at is that there are Senators Of
the United States who do not see that
for us protection from this danger is as
precious and necessary as it is for
