THE TREATY AND THE SENATE.

More difficulties and doubts regarding the ar
bitration treaty come TO light. Senators begin
10 resent. and properly, the Incorporate asser-
tion that they must be unworthy and uDpatri-
Otc persons if they hesitate to ratfy the treaty
without serious and careful consideration. 1t is
not publicly known that President Cleveland or
Secretary Olney has proved so wise and nnx-
io,,s guardian Of American interests as to- be
able in delicate diplomacy 10 defeat without
fail the most dextarous diplOmatists Of Great
Britain. The excellent object Of the treaty can
not be considered an absolute guarantee OF its
safety in every detail. in view Of other treaties
which Great Britain has negotiated in times
past.
The main fact is that the Senate is intrusted
by the Constitution with great power in this
matter. as the guardian Of the Nations rights
1t is plainly assumed by the Constitution that
there Is more danger Of grave error OF judg-
fnent or purpose by one man. the Chief Execu-
tive than by the chosen Senators from the diff
ferent States For it is expressly provided that
treaty shall not be ratified without two
thirds vote In the Senate Unless much more
than a majority Of the Senators perceive Its
wisdom and fail to find objections to 1t, a
treaty can be of no effect. Men may berate
this provision Of the Constitution as much as
they please: it is the supreme law Of the land.
and il was framed with that wisdom which
many generations have learned highly to honor.
II is the habit in these days to cast discredit
on the Senate as q mere club Of wealthy, self
seeking and corrupt persons. This notion Is
laboriously fostered by Populists in spite Of the
fact that their party would never have had
any chance Of attaining importance had IT not
been favored and fostered by the Senators from
sundry Western States, who represent acres
rather than population or business. But when
the truth is told the Senate does not appear an
altogether worthless or useless part Of the Gov
eminent 1t has many times saved the cOun-
try from destructive legislation. and did so In
1894. when the Wilson bill had a large part Of
the poison extracted from it by a few Demo
Gratis in the Senate who represented large
manufacturing States. Their motives may be
questioned by anybody; the fact that they took
out of the bill much Of It's destructiveness can
not be questioned.
Senators have faults, as most human beings
have. But they are likely TO be as Independent
and as patriotic as the journalists and philoso-
rhers who are just now taking it for granted
that careful scrutiny Of the arbitration treaty
must spring from depravity Of character 1t
is necessary to face the fact that President
Cleveland is not absolutely infallbe. II he has
made mistakes. he may have made others in
this treaty which require correction.

cooperate with It on land. The troops are need
ed to garrison coaling stations and dockyards
all over the world Some of these stations, 1t Is
said, are now so slightly guarded that ehectiVe
defence of them in case Of war would be impos-
slble except by batteships, and these. OF course
would be needed for other work. And the navy
would be helpless unless 1t were sure OF finding
the stations secure and ready for Its use wher-
ever and whenever it might need them.
So 10000 more Tommy Aiknscs are to be
enrolled. The navy wants them. and what the
navy wants it must have For, to pnraphrase
the old legend. while the navy stands the EN-
pire stands. and when the navy falls the empire
falls though probably not the world with IT,
1t is an inevitable penalty Of greatness tha' 'he
price OF greatness must be paid. The CONNER
cial greatness of England requires the maln'eh-
ance of the British Empire. The maintenance
of the Empire requires a mighty fleet. The
fee, requires powerful army. And the arm!

probably never will; which is consolation Johh
Bull may enjoy over his Continental neishoors'

1.-THE IDEAL NEWSPA PEE"

The discussion which clergymen Of various
evangelical denominations have been carrying
on in the hope Of helping TO Introduce the era
Of "the ideal newspaper has not been without
interest and we hope it may prove 10 have been
not without profit. But there is one obstacle IN
their way to which, perhaps, they have not paid
sufficient attention. namely, that they are not at
all agreed among themselves as 10 what constl-
tutes an ideal newspaper. That this Is the case
NAV fairly be inferred from what they have said
on the subject and Is otherwise demOnstrable.
Differing widely even in their definitions OF the
ideal church, how can they unite in defining the
ideal newspaper: Many Of them have high per
sonal respect for one another. as doubtless they
have also for most Of the newspaper men whom
they know: but the simple fact that each clings
tepaclousy 10 his own ecclesiastical forms and
poly precludes the possibility OF his regarding
anohers as ideal.
More than that the clergy are generally wont
10 use much freedom Of speech in commenting
upon the ways and opinions OF their brethren
We have no doubt that if they should ever get
so far az to establish newspaper for the pur
pose OF carrying out certain ideas which they
suppose they hold in common, and should APP
Dopt one OF their number its editor, he would
resolutely exclude from It's columns under a
strong sense of responsibility many articles con
tributed by members Of the ministerial synd
cate. who would speedily conclude tina; they
had made n serious mistake In choosing him for
so important and delicate an office. Indeed, We
should pretty confidently expect that the frat
point as to which all the others would find them
selves in perfect agreement would be that their
appointee, being very far from an ideal editor
could not possibly produce an ideal newspaper
and consequently that II was their painful duty
TO depose him.
OF course these cergymen. like other inell
gent and moral citizens. have no difficulty in
agreeing that there are sO-callcd newspapers
which are just aboutsas bad as they can be- rs
there are so-called religious organizations Of sim
