FAILS TO PASS.

Wednesday the senate by a vote OF
43 TO 26 refused to ratify the general
arbitration treaty with England.
1t required the affirmative action OF
t%wo-thirds of the senate to ratIfy the
treaty, and the vote it received was
four short of that number,
This ia not q rejection of the princi-
pies of arbitration, which the Ameri-
can people favor in the settlement OF
disputes, but it is rather an avoidance
of what might become an entangling
alliance with one of the great powers
of Europe.
This country and England are left
free to arbitrate any differences that
may arise in the future and which are
proper subjects for arbitration, bnt it
does not bind us to submit what may
be regarded as matters of vital import
ance to the decision of an arbitration
board that may be composed of those
who are opposed to our popular GOV.
eminent.
This country has always pursued the
policy of attending to its own affairs
and leaving other nations to do the
same, and such a policy prscl9des the
necessity for general arbitration trea-
ties.
We desire nothing that belongs to
any other Gopptry, and we have long
since shown them o9F eRtire ability TO
take care of ourselves.

Miss Edith Holt as a yioIinjst,

From the Richmond Conservation,
From the Washington City Journal Ii
the following concerning Miss Edith
Holt, the ~l5-year-old daughter of DIR,
Warner Holt, formerly of this city, but
now on the Board of Medical Examiners
in the Pension Bureau at Washington
City, written on the occasion of her
appearance before a meetilg of the
''Sangerbund." the Oldest German
musical organization in Washington
City
Then Miss Edith Holt, the young
blonde haired daughter of DR.. John F.
Holt, made her appearance and intro
duced herself to the members of the
'Sa~ngerbund' as a viOlinist who is to be
admired.
The youthful VirtuOso, who is only
Is years old, will, if she continues this
way, surely be successful In her art.
She played an air on the &c" string by
Bach, Wilhelmj, and after MIR. F.
Claudy, the president of the "Sanger-
bund," had presented her under I'M
bounded a bouquet of beautiful flowers
a sweet slumber song by Halfser.
Miss Holt owns an exquisite instru-
ment which would well excite the envy
of many a violin virtuOso. Her violin
was made in the year l773, by the cele-
hrated violin maker, Johannes baptist
Gabrielle, at FLORENCE, and according to
the estimate of experts, is worth at
least 81 500. "

iscarriage OF Just

From the Kansas City World.
Two years ago last carnival night
Postoffice Inspector Jesse Mcclure was
brutally murdered in Kansas City by
Bill Adler, the leader of a gang OF
thugs. There was no provocation for
the crime. Adler did not even know
Mcclure. 1t was simply the wanton
wickedness of a brute finding outlet in
the murder of an inoffensive citizen.
Adler was arrested, tried and sentenced
to ten months In Jail. During his
term of Imprisonment Adler was seen
frequently on the streets of Kansas
City. Perhaps the officers deemed it
too harsh n punishment and endeav-
ored to soften the sentence of the court
by giving the murderer frequent tastes
of liberty. The sentence was a traV-
esty on justice and the manner of its
execution was a farce.
Such "A miscarrying of justice always
hears evil fruit. Today Il humble home
is desolate, there is q soul standing all
unprepared before its Maker and Adler
Is again arrested on the charge of MUIR
der. This would level have come to
pass had Adler two years ago received
a sentence that was at all commensur-
ate with his crime. This time justice
should not fail. If facts prove Adler to
be guilty the sentence should be such
as 10 give the assurance that this mans
career as a criminal is checked for all
time.

Against Nine Competitors.

In the annua interstate o~ratorical
contest at Columbia, Thursday night,
Perie d. Decker, representing Mis-.

was awarded to C. F. Bell, of Colorado.
The contest took place in the1audito-
rum of the state university before a
large and enthusiastic audience, tand
was brayely fought by the young men
taking part, and the final awards, for
this reason, proved the greater triumph
for the successful contestants.
The states represented were Iowa,
Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, Wis
c%onsin, Missouri, Colorado and Mime
sofa, and each state IA ably repre-
sonted.
MIR. Decker's Grafton, entitled 1.-The
Basic Law Of Progress" was the most
profound of all delivered. and was han
died with remarkable ease.
The decision of the judges awarding
the first place to the Missouri orator is
a great honor to our schools and state,
and we predict that it will be many
years before her orators allow her to be
classed as second.

FOR A THIRD TERN.

Grover Cleveland's recent harangue
at the boltocratic banquet in New York
is considered US an announcement that
he expects to run for president III 1900.
II is not unreasonable to presume
that he believes hat he Is a presiden-
tial possibility. The most prominent
of all OF his characteristics is his
egotism. lie is egotistic enough to
believe what his Wall street bosses have
told him, and that he will shy his
castor in the ring is not unreasonable
to believe. Ana there are countless
thousands who would like to see him
president.
There is England, "on whose
dominions the sun never SETS" and it
is filled with thousands OF autocrats
and dudes and snobs who would like to
see him president of the United States.
In case he was elected, R~othchild
would come all the way over here to
see Grover inaugrated.
The Car of Russia and his people,
the Sultan of Turkey and the Turks,
Gen. Weyler and the Spanish, and
every crowned head IN the world

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Latest dispatches from the seat oil
war i'm the east indicate that Turkey
has about succeeded in whipping
Greece and that the latter country will
be forced to ask the Intervention of the
powers to IA herself from being
completely gobbled up.
1t is a sad spectacle to behold a
nation like Turkey, which represents
the vilest spirit of Mohammedan fanat-
icism, trampling upon Greece, which
is almost the only representative of
political religious liberty in the east.
The powers of Europe should hang
their heads IN shame as they look upon
the results of her backing Turkey in
her quarrel with Greece. Because the
latter country undertook to protect the
Christians in Crete against the murder
u Turks, these so-called Christian
powers send their fleets and soldiers to
prevent her from carrying out her
noble purpose.
They have succeeded In giving u
key the opportunity of mobilizing an
army of half a million we'll trained
soldiers in European Turkey, and it
would be no more than just retrIbution
if Turkey should now turn round, defy
powers, and use the army o%stensi-
bly, raised against Greece TO defeat the
purposes of the powers towards Tur-
key. The Turks have been allowed to
feel their own strength, and a fire has
been started in Europe the end of
which no one can foresee.

THANKS TO THE SENATE.

Thanks to the United States senate.
1t has killed and buried the most in
famous piece of legislation proposed
for enactment for a score of years.
When the senate last Wednesday re-
fused to ratify the Cleveland-R othchild
arbitration treaty, its action should
have been echoed in the hearts of
every patriotic American citizen.
The recent arbitration treaty which
Cleveland, Olney and the British rep
resentatives proposed, and which met
the approval of many misguided
American citizens, met the fate that
God Almighty intended it should meet.
Because 1t had the word ''a~rbitration"
in 1t and the tendency of the times and
the advancement of civilization have
brought with them horrors of war, the
arbitration treaty was taken up by
many and given wide endorsement.
The INTELLIGENCER favors arbitration,
nj if it ever comes we want it to com
right and be genuine arbitration and
not a pretense of it.
The provisions of the treaty were
Ubiquitous in the extreme. Seven men
were to Judge of the disputes. Three
of them natives of England and three
of this nation. The deciding vote was
left to King Oscar of Sweden, whom
everybody, who knows anything about
him, knows to be an ally of Great
Britain. In other words England had
four votes to our three. The result
would have been giving to England
everything over which there might be
controversy. Then again, why arbi-
with England and not with
or any other country. against
entangling alliances with foreign coun-
tries 1 warn you," said George Wash
The United States senate
heard the warning and has saved the
country from the most damnable one
proposed in this century.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR THE HOME,
So the New Board Thinks After Their
First Meeting.

The first regular meeting of the new
Confederate Home board was held al
Higginsville, Tuesday, for the transac
ton of business connected with the
Home. The members as appointed by
Governor Stephens-James Zimmerman
president, of st. Louis; Il. N. Lake.
vice-president, of Higginsville; ii. A.
Newman, secretary, of Huntsville; Il.
F. Murdoch, treasurer, of Platte City:
B. G. Jones of Poplar Bluff, F. S. Pitts
of Jefferson City, w. G.. BrOnough of
Leeds Station, j. w. Halliburton of
Carthage aud r. S. ZolIinger of Otter
ville-were all present.
The rules governing the institution
were changed in many particulars. All
disabled ex-Confederates living in the
state prior to 1894 who are recommended
by the commander and adjutant of their
local camp, and also county clerks, may
be admitted to the home after the appli-
cation IS passed on by the president
The salary of superintendent was fixed
at $500; of matrOn, who shall be the
superintendent's wife, at $24O; surgeon,
PH0Os LIN OhlCO VI COIlL1dluduD Was
created at a salary $24O, with the privil-
eye Of the home. An executive COM
mittee was also created to have the gen.
eral management of the home. The
members are: Il. NJ. Lake, f. F. Muir
dock and II. A. Newman. All old
soldiers, who have been heretofore
expelled from the Home, may be rein
stated by county courts, paying their
expenses there. This will probably add
thirty more inmates.
A lively contest came up for the posi-
ton Of superintendent. The applicants
were: J.W. Garnhardt, C. w. Jackson,
Frank Thorton, George Hall. of this
county; T. W. Cassell, of jackson, the
present superintendent; r. w. Packs, of
Platte; p. M. Acres. Of Henry; F. G..
Mitchell, of Saline; p. w. Ready, of
Clay and George Patton, of Howell.
The latter was elected on third ballot.
DR.. j. j.. Fulkerson, the old physician
in charge, was reelected. Captain
Lynch Turner, of Ray. was elected CON-
mandant. George E. Patton, the super
intendent, served all through the wal in
Cockrell's brigade as a private. He lost
an arm at Vicksburg and is held in high
repute by the old soldiers. After the
war he established the Liberty Advance,
which he ran for four years. He was
sheriff Of Clay county, which
he filed with credit to himself.
Later he worked ten years in the Kansas
City stock yards as bookkeeper. He is
at present engaged in managing a large
farm or ranch in Howell county. He
will take possession of the home in a
few days. Lynch Turner, the command
ant; is also Of Cockrell's brigade and
as commissary with rank of cap
tain, and when the Office was abolished
retired to the rank Of private for the
remainder of the conflict.
The committee remained in session
Wednesday to attend to some of the
business they were unable to look after
the first day of the meeting. The build
ing will be overhauled and repaired as
'ar as the appropriation will go. Gen
,ral satisfaction was expressed at the
work of the board and the Home will
doubtless realize a bright future under
heir able management.
