Ny Dear Sir:-I have your letter of
January 2O,h, urging in the strongest
possible terms the ratification of the
arbitration treaty 1t contains a sug.
gcStion that there may be some opposi-
ton to the treaty from 'partisanship,
jealousy, or iingoism." | beg to assure
YOU, sir chat there is not the slightest
indication of anything Of the kind so far
apparent The treaty is before the
committee on foreign relations and is re-
ceivng, as it is entitled TO, the most
careful scrutiny. Secretary Olney was
before us an hour and a half "Wednesday
morning. Each article ought to receive
conscientious examination. II the Mon
roe doctrine, maintained by US for half n
century, is hy this treaty the subject of
arbitration, good many votes would be
cast against it. Secretary Olney con
WINGED me that doctrine, being policy,
rather than right, could not be Iuclud-
ed within its terms. The constructing
Of the Nicaragua canal and its practical
control by our government, is considered
10y very many essential to our peace aud
prosperity. Does any article in this
treaty make any question raised there IA
ctSe Tor arbitration: If it does obrc-
tons will be made by some to the ratiti-
cation of the treaty. Senator Edmunds,
| am happy to say, takes the ground
ihat this is impossible. Another ques
ton which attracts some attention: Our
Alaskan boundary, which we hold under
l;ussia and which, under her aud US has
existed for Is years is now by Canada
called in question. Is this to be arbi-
trated2
You Judge me rightly when YOU as
sumo that | am in favor of arbitration
for the settlement of questions between
nations. War is ii most cruel and brutal
arbitrament. think. however. from
Nhat have written, that you will recog.

snrraRD AS SECOND GLASS MAIL MATTER,

Now that the Ways and Means COM
work industriously on tariff bill that
will have reciprocity features AS IA
part of it, the Dominion of Canada Is
anxious for recognition of its commercial
interests with the United States by
important concessions to that country.
But there are many difficulties in the
way of the accomplishment of this that
are held by some, at least, Of our leading
statesmen at Washington To be insur-
mountable. The cavalier manner in
which Canada treated American fisher
men when that matter was under con
sderation and the unjust and illiberal
course pursued rankles in the miads OF
many L. 5. citizens of the present day.
Among representatives from all the
States that touch the Canadian border
the prevailing opinion seems to be that
it would be impossible to negotiate "A
reciprocity treaty with the consent Of
Great Britain, which would be, sails
factory or just to the United States.

How Chewing Gum is Made.

Four million pounds Of gum chicle,
the product Of the Mexican sapota tree,
entered the United States during the
year 1895. This entire product,valued
at nearly $1,5O0,O00, became the basis
of chewing gum. A walk through
leading chewing gum factory is inter-
esting. Here over 1000 100000 pieces
of gum are annually produced and
shipped to every portion of the world.
Three hundred employees are en-
gagged in the manufacture Of the gum,
the first step of which is the importa-
ton of the raw chicle, which is gath
cred by the poems Of Mexico and ex-
ported in bales containing about 100
pounds each.
The gum is taken from the bales and
chopped into small pieces. These are
freed from tree bark and chips by
steaming and picking; then 1t Is
ground in mills making 3,400 revolu-
tions minute. The ground gum is
subjected to a continuous heat OF lao
deg. f. in drying-rOoms. From here
the gum is sent to the "white-aproned
cook" who adds the purest sugar and
freshest cream, granulated pepsin,
powdered guru or kola or other de-
sired ingredient to it, and cooks it in
steam jacketed caldrOn, where it
is turned and mixed by an ingenious
dOuble-acting heater or rotary paddle
until it has assumed the consistency OF
bread dough.
Now the dough boys" take hold of
it and knead it in flnely-powdered
sugar, passing it to the rollers" where
it is rolled between steel rollers until
it is of the proper thickness, where 1t
is whisked away to the markers. "
The markers are steel-knived rollers,
which leave their impress upon the
long sheets of appetizing gum before
it goes to the seasoning rOOm," after
which it is broken on the lines left by
the markers. Now the gum finds it's
way to the wrapping ROOM" The
nlmble fingers of $50 dainty maidens
are here at play. Under their deft
touch wax paper, tin foil and pretty
wrappers envelop the gum quick as
a wink, and in another moment the
packers" have the gum to place in
jars or boxes, wherein it is shipped for
sale to the general public.-COnfection-

Wheelbarrow Folks.

There are a good many children, and
grown up people, who go like wheel
barrOw-that is, they go just as far as
you push them, and when you stop
they stop. You tell than to do a
thing and they do it, and that is all
they will do. If you want thing
done again you must tell them to do
it again. If you want it done forty
times you must tell them forty times
to do it.
There are other people who, when
you set them going, can keep on them
selves. They have some "go" in them.
If you tell them to-day that you
want thing done, tomorrow you
will find the same done without tell
ing them. If you mention that a
thing has been neglected this week,
next week they will see to it that
it is not neglected.
There is a great deal of difference
in the value Of these two kinds of peo-
pie, because the wheelbarrow kind Of
folks need somebody to push them,
as a machine needs somebody to at
tend to it. They only go while you
watch them and push them; so if you
have one such person at work you
must employ another one to watch him
and keep him going; but if you have
one of the other kind at work he will
watch himself, 40 his work, and make
you no trouble about it.
