Whatever happens to the treaty, we may at least feel that our foreign office has done it's best under most difficult cir cumstances. And if we look in a simple and reasonable spirit at the facts as they present themselves on the other side of the Atlantic, we must admit that it is not the people .of the United States who have wrecked lhe treaty. Instead, they have been no less earnest than our own peo- pie in the cause of arbitra ton. Not only all the best and most thoughtful in- fiuences in the state, but public opinion as a whole has shown itself mos: strong ly in favor of ratifying the treaty. The opposition in the senate has thus no sort of popular feeling behind 1t. Though we say it with deep regret, we fear that the American press is correct when it attrib- utes the opposition which the treaty has encountered 70 the self-interested hostil- ity of the senators.-London Economist.

Those Whom He Has Held and Expect 5- to Hold Upon His Knee.

Those Whom He Has Held and Expects -sz- - to Hold Upon His Knee.
 Citizen George Francis Train of New York said tho other day that he often takes on his knee threo generations of children and secs no reason why, in some cases, he should not take four. Talking about Mime. Delamater, who was Nellie Sands, the well known society belle, he said that she was his little friend when as child she used to talk to him in Madison square He meets all the children who go there on flne days, and Nellie was one of his favor. ties. In duo time she became 12 years of age, after which they arc not children to him, and he drops them from his list of intimates, although he retains friendship for them all their lives, if he considers them worthy of it.
 Hc lost sight of her for some years, and one day she met him in the park and came forward to greet him. He put his hands behind him and said gently:
 "Nellie you know never shake hands, and you aro too old for me to take on my : knee. Yor are young woman now, wear ing long frocks. Still am glad to sec you looking so we1l''
 Timo passed, and on bright afternoon a nursemaid, in her white cap and apron, led toward him baby just able to walk. MT. Train, I want to introduce to you our little one. It's mamma said was to bring it to you and tell you that you used to take it's mamma on your knee"
 "Who is its mammaP'
 "Mme Delamater''
 "Now," said Mir. Train, in telling the story, 1T did not know Mime. Delamater, and said so. do not forget names. But the girl said I did and insisted on it. At last I asked her what InadaIn's maiden namo was, and sho told mo Miss Sands.
 "Wcll, took tho baby up, and when l sent it away at last told the nurse to tell madam that expected to know her great grandchildren. And so do. Why not?'

THE OLDEST GNGLlsH PAPER.
1t Is the London Gazette and Wns Pub lished First In 1GS5,

It Is the London Gazette and Was Pub llshed First In 1G35.
 The oldest English newspaper is, though few people know it, tho London Gazette, which was, on. its first publication on Nov. IA, 1865, known as tho Oxford Gazette from tho fact of the parliament sitting at Oxford. This name was changed on Feb. D. 1866, to the present. one. But though the London Gazette contains some items of much interest to certain people, such as those who have received "honors'' at tho hands of royalty or those whose bank ruptcies arc announced, it is not a news paper in the usual sense of the tcrm-that iss as being read generally by the public. Tho honor of being tho oldest newspaper of this class in tho British Isles, and hence probably in the world may be unhesita- tingly awarded to Bcrrow's Worcester Journal, which made its appearance in 1890, ten years before tho beginning of the eighteenth century. It has always had a wide circulation among the higher classes of it's district and is today as vigorous as ever But when it first came out it was not under it's present name, and this fact or is of importance in considering it's claim to the premier honors of tho journal 1, istic world, 14,
 Perhaps we ought to award tho palm of being the doyen of English journals to the Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mercury, still published weekly at Stamford. This paper has now, as ever, truly great cir culntion and-an enormous influence in the eastern midland district. Its title is cxact- ly tho samo today as it was on the day it was first published, 174 years ago. Hence this important factor should almost assign to it the first place among extant news papers.
 There is in the Leicester museum 6 copy of the 1710 issue, consisting of four pages demy quarto, its style that of tho old news letter. In July, 1855, it's circulation had become II, 000 a week, the highest outside of Londcn. Its price was then twopence, but Is now penny, with the circulation of s5,ooo weekly, Thomas Cooper, the fla nous Chartist poet, was on the staff in his younger days The political complexion of this celebrated paper is Liberal.

A white man first set foot on what is zow Ynma County in l77l. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and enc of the four original counties of the Ter ritory. Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the travelor from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that Of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugiy situated in the embrace of gentle rolling fills. upon whose crests and sides tn" modern homes of our superior civilization are crowding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway to Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undeveloped riches the eyes Of the country are at present turned, and as such,
 .eis bound to grow and prosper with rapiditv that at present can hardly be re alzed. But coupled with her goographl- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural pos8ih'l- ties are practically unlimited, being sar- rounded by soil the fertility of hich exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, ana wanting only water to become paradise o' bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious aaid have annually gone to waste ai Yuma's very doors, but already reaetlo' is taking place and many enterprises are on foot to supply the life giving waters oi She yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in min elal wealth than the County of Yuma. AI the country north, east and s0uth of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt tha: coalmences in Alaska and ends in Mexico.
 From the San R"rn2rdino mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich il the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advancel that the richest gold mines are iopnd bordering the beds of
