Louis On these important topics, It would
have discovered q fundamental and para.
mount reason why the American Senate
could not give its assent to the arbitration
treaty. Had 1t even read carefully the
declarations contained In the letter of
July 20, 1898, from that sturdy Puritan
statesman, RICHARD OLNEY, to Ambassa-
dor BAYARD, in regard to the Venezuela
question, Il would have discovered certain
previous utterances Of a lofty and impress
sive character which ought to lave con-
vinced 1t as we'll as Lord SALISBURY that
no general arbitration treaty with England
could ever receive the approval Of the
American people. OF course we refer to
the declarations that "the political connec
tion between the Dominion Of Canada and
the United Kingdom three thousand miles
away is unnatural and inexpedient = and
that "the United States are sovereign on
the Western Hemisphere" These are not
the inconsiderate or nance utterances OF a
lingo or cavalier" Anti. Puritan" but of a
serious-minded statesman who is n Puritan
Of the Puritans. They are the fundamen-
tai facts Of our American polity, the faith
Of all parties and all sections, and the fear
that the doctrines by which they are formu-
lated and kept before the people might in
some way be imperilled or embarrassed by
the treaty, was the ultimate and all-saf1-
cient cause Of its rejection.
Our leading statesmen and philosophers
now realize how injuriously the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, hurriedly negotiated and
still moro hurriedly ratified. has restricted
our freedom of action for q half century or
more in Central America. They are con-
stantly on the watch for an occasion to abro-
gate or neutralize that agreement, and SOON
er or later they must succeed. Meanwhile,
whatever may have been their public utter
ances in obedience to the Christian senti-
ment which abhors wal and favors arbitra-
ton, our esteemed contemporary may rest
assured that the American people will
never consent to enter into any agree.
ment, however guarded, which will still
further limit their freedom to carry out
the continental policies by which the
United States are to become actually, as
well as potentially, sovereign on the
Western Hemisphere"

until he had consolidated under his sway
scores of States, and found himself limited
Sierra Leone, and the French possessions
on the Upper Niger.
His ambition, however, seems to have re-
sented any bounds, and he soon found him.
self In conflict with the French. For sew.
eral years he carried on a warfare Of great
energy, attacking the French outposts OF
the Niger. In the intervals Of hostilities
Europeans visited him, and, what was moro
noticeable, his son, Prince DIAoULE KAR-
AMoKo, once visited Paris. This event 90.
Cured after SAMoRY had submitted to Col.
FREY, the Commander in Upper Senegal, at
the end Of IA long and stubborn war. But
the hospitality shown to his son did
not put an end to hostilities. SAMoRY
ruled a vast country, containing, it Ia said, n
million and a half ofpeople, and he resented
the agreement that had forced him to give
up his provinces west of the Niger. A new
expedition was organized by the French to
complete his subjugation, it being known
that he had reorganized his forces. having,
1t is said, obtained arms from the British of
Sierra Leone. He was completely defeated,
the fortified villages of Senankoro and
Keronane were captured, and then Bissan-
dugu, his capital.
With his power thus broken, SAMoRY
was content to refrain from further hostili-
ties with the French. He made Bonduku
his capital, and was still in practical pos
session Of the whole Kong country in the
hinterland Of the French colony. It had
generally been thought that his experience
with the French would dispose him to the
friendliest relations with his British neigh
bors on the Guinea coast, and accordingly
it was with surprise that the late reports
of his coming into conflict with Lieut.. HEN
DBRsoN's expedition were received.
Now the aspect Of affairs is changed
by the tidings that, instead, he has sent
presents back by the expedition to the
British Governor at Kumasi. It Is known
that the object Of the expedition was to
make treaties with the chiefs OF the hinter-
land. and it will be interesting to learn
the particulars of the attitude which
SAMoRY, still by far the greatest of the
African rulers in that region, assumes to-
ward the British, and how it will affect the
relative progress Of French and British in
fluence and Of trade.

The Orisons Of q Silver Chaplain.

The Illinois Legislature has made itself

against department stores, corporations,
and similar forms Of iniquity. To have

cording to the old motto. 1t is clear that
the Illinois Legislature has been prayed to
excellent well. In testimony whereof read
this prayer, wherewith the Rev. DAvrp G.

the business of that nursery of statesmen
last Thursday:

Money the total sum.

with enthusiastic applause" Yet a House

Chaplain BRADFORD was so much affected
by his sweet words in behalf of the tax
burdened people that he could not suggest
q bill to have his pay locked or his prayers
made eleemosynary. May he learn to be
content with less money and refuse to wor-
ship the golden calf in any form!

The Patron Saint of the Bicycle.

The French bicyclists are looking for a
patron saint, and they can't tell whom to
choose. The most prominent candidates
are Saint CATHERINE and Saint GERMAN.
with the odd for CATHERINE.
Some medical men nave declared that the
use of the wheel robs a man of the taste for
matrimony, and the wags insist that Saint
CATHERINE ought to be selected by the bi.
cyclists, because she is the patron of old
maids. The saint was condemned to the
wheel and died on it, but the legend tells
us that she escaped the torture that an
angel came down and set her free. At
Bourges, some time ago, tourists could see
Saint GATHERINGS wheel, upon which the
following legend vas written
"Quand cette roue tournera
Celle quo Jaime m'aimera."
The suggestion of Saint GERMAN as the
patron saint of wheelers Is due to the
old legend of the huge dragon that deyas.
tated Normandy, and had its abode in the
cavern of B~alignant, on the shores of Fla.
manyille. 1t is related of him that
he demanded a child for his food at
least once a week. One morning the
inhabitants of Delete, a little seaport
about twenty kilometres from Cherbourg,
were astonished to see a Bishop, with a
niitre on his head and a crozier in his hand
riding over the wave upon a cartwheel.
He had come TO fight the dragon, and kill
it he did. The intrepid Bishop was Saint
GERMAN, still called Saint GERMAN of
the Wheel" When the sea is calm, the
fishermen of Delete are still confident
that they see on the water the track of Saint
GERMANS wheel.
