1t is doubtful il the United States SEN
ate commands as much respect from the
public as It did in the days Of Webster,
Clay. BenAn and Calhoun The impress
sion has got abroad that It contains a
good many fossils, number OF million
aires who think more of their ease and
their investment than Of the public good.
and lot Of interminable takers who are
never so well satisfied as when making
speeches.
While there are some men in the Senate
whose room would be much better than
their company. the majority. no doubt are
earnestly DESTROYS of doing the best they
can 10 promote the public good. Among
those who could be spared is Senator
Stewart Of Nevada. In our Washington
dispatches yesterday it was stated that he
believes it would be a good thing to re-
ject the arbitration treaty because Great
Britain wants #. In expressing this belief
he practically admits that he is unable to
give any reason why the treaty would not
be a good thing for this country. He
wants 1t rejected simply because Great
Britain favors it.
Senator Stewart and all the other sena-
tors ought to qualify themselves to decide
whether or not the treaty is a meritorious
one, and whether it is more favorable to
Great Britain than to this country. Per-
haps they would be able to find out what
its real merits are if they should pay
closer attention to the speeches of those
of their number who have taken the
trouble to study it. For some reason or
other. however, senators refuse to listen
to the speeches of their associates. They
don't want to be instructed apparently
upon any subject, being well satisfied with
such crumbs OF information, relative to
the questions they have to pass upon, as
they can pick up without a special effort
on their part. 1t is a saying in Washing
ton that If a senator wants to get an aud
fence of senators he must be either funny
or malicious. Publication of sayings like
that has helped to create popular impress
sion that senators are lazy, and that they
permit their pre1udices to control them in
stead of preparing themselves by careful
study to act intelligently upon public
questions. There doesn't seem to be any
doubt that some of the senators are op-
posing the arbitration treaty for no other
reason than that it was negotiated by the
Cleveland administration.

The appointment of Receivers.

The Atlanta Journal calls attention TO an
abuse which we have frequently comment
ed on, namely. the haste with whieh the
courts appoint receivers. The Journal says:
1.-THE loose and, sometimes. reckless man
ner in which receivers are appointed by
our state courts is one of the greatest
abuses of legal procedure"
We do not hesitate 10 say that corpora
tons and business houses in this state
have frequently been forced into the hands
of receivers for utterly insufficient rea-
sons. The courts in such cases have rush
ed TO conclusions on ex parte showings and
have by their orders begun the destruc-
ton of enterprises which were solvent and
meritortous when attacked by the demand
for a receiver.
1t seems to us that the abuse is not con-
fined to the state courts. The federal as
wen as the state courts appear to be too
wiling to create receiverships. A receiver
should not be appointed until it is clearly
shown that the individual or corporation
for whose property a receiver is asked is
insolvent, or is in such imminent danger
of becoming so that creditors would suffer
loss if not protected by the court And
Lefore receiver is appointed both sides
should be granted a hearing, unless it is
shown beyond question that the appoint
ment of a receiver Immediately is abso-
lutely necessary. In any case, the
party asking for a receiver should
be required to give a bond
to cover any loss that the party
attacked might suffer if it should turn
out that there were no facts sufficient 10
Justify the APPLICATION for or the appoint
ment oil receiver. If applicants for re-
ceivers were required to give bond for dam
ages and costs there would be fewer ap-
picants. and only those would apply for
receivers who believed they had ample
grounds for doing so.

A Cuban nhnn,odx.

The sun hung low and the white fever
mists began TO rise ghostly, deadly. from
the miasmatic Cuban swarlps, says an ex-
change.
Out Of the dense jungles rode a lonely
man. His broad sombrero was torn and
tattered; his clothing much the worse for
wear. In his hand he grasped machete-
shot eyes and ran his finger along the
machete's keen blade to see If it was
sharp enough for deadly battle.
Over the foothills from the direction of
Havana came another horseman. His
cooked hat sported a bedraggled plume and
mis- once Saudy uniform was patched IN
many places. His fingers clutched long,
blue-bladed Toledo sword.
The horsemen rode steadily on till OPP
posite one another. Then they halted and
when each knows the prowress of the

"At last, Maxine Comet"

The riders paused and regarded one an
other curiosly. Soon the Cuban spoke.

blood of innocent women and children?

and the shock slew the heroic men whom

The foemen looked at one another again.
Then they surveyed the landscape.

The Gratitude of Three Tails.

1t is of a member of the Sioux tribe
that an official of the Northern Pacific
railroad tells this story TO the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune. In the early days of the road he
was engaged in surveying for it. and with
his assistants, was encamped not far away
from a tribe of these Indians, who were
most Indians, would bear watching. in
dealing with them he found 1t always a
wise plan to impress them with the TACT
that he was possessed of unusual powers,
and when they visited his camp he would
exhibit his proweSs in various ways, DO
seight-of-hand tricks, predict an eclipse,
which was easy enough with an almanac
at hand, and accomplish other wonderful
things, until they actually believed that
he was endowed with supernatural pow
er, and could scare away devils.
One day a warrior of the tribe who was
regarded as one of the bravest of the
young men came to him and asked for a
charm against certain devil who occu-
pied a pass in the Bad Lands, through
which he would never let this warrior,
Three Tails, go. Quite gravely Mr.. X.
gave him piece of paper, with the de-
sired charm written upon 1t, and the crate
full Three Tails went his way. Some
weeks afterward Mr.. x. sitting at the door
of his tent, which had been moved many
miles westward, very homesick and lone
ly, was astonished to see Three Tails
standing before him.
Here" said this stalwart young brave,
throwing a long line of scalps at his feet,
all of them fresh and some of them still
wet with blood. Three Tails make pale
face medicine man present. Paleface med
icine man sent devil away, bring Three
Tails luck"
''The sight of those scalps and the
thought of where they came from made
me deathly in,'' said Mr.. X, but had
to refuse them diploma tically or get scalp
ed myself As 1t was my friend Three
Tails went off much disgruntled because
would not accept them, and moved camp
the next day"
