Highway Robbery.

The action of Judge Bingham in sentenc-
dng Billy Williams. the notorious GRIM
inal, to suffer the maximum penalty pro-
vided by law for highway robbery deserves
the highest commendation- 1t is only by
the vigorous enforcement of penalties over
the pleas of soft-hearted sentimentality
that We can hope 10 put down the growing
spirit of desperate lawlessness. Great en-
scouragement has been given to the criminal
adesperados who go armed for murder as
well as robbery by administering light PEN
ralties and short Imprisonment. whereby
they were speedily let loose for new
assaults upon life and property.

Rejection of the Treaty.

The rejection by the Senate of the treaty
of arbitration with Great Britain will be
made the theme of much lurid lament and
'criticism by the enemies of the United States
both within and without its borders. The
action will be ascribed to various causes:
to the "degeneracy'' Of the Senate: to a
spirit of hatred of England; to senatorial
hostility to MIR. Cleveland; to what is called
dingoism. and so forth. This sort of talk
will go the rounds. serve the bitter pur-
poses of an exciting day, and then be for
gotten. Meanwhile. the truth exists, and.
as usual. makes a very plain tale
When the treaty was first submitted for
their consideration, senators were divided
into three classes:
0D There were senators who thought
no arbitration treaty in general terms nee
essary with any country, The United
Btates was threatened with no war 1t
was seeking no difficulty with anybody. 1t
had never refused to arbitrate its conten-
tions 1t had submitted many contentious
TO tribunals of peace. What was the need.
they asked. for formally binding over to
keep the peace a nation SO pacific I'm its
history and aspirations?
CD There were senators-lawyers of ex-
perience and wide reading-who accepted
the treaty as worthy In spirit, but defec-
uve In terms They subjected 1t to a law
yer-hke examination. They felt justified in
this because they knew that II 1t became a
law. and arbitrations should grow out OF
1t. the procedure would be on a purely
legal. and not sentimental. basis. They
wanted to protect the United States to the
full In the whole transaction. They ap-
piled their own knowledge without hesita.

The great Industrial and business inter-

the new tariff bill. and inspiration to in
