TREATIES.

Very shortly after war commenced
between Spain and the United States
the former country came out with a
set of war DEGREES which occupied 1t
number of columns of the Official Ga
zette. In these reference is made to
the termination of the treaty of
peace and friendship between the
United States and Spain. which dated
from March 81, 1875, and all other
agreements, compacts and conven-
tions," which had been in force be-
tween the two countries.
Compacts and treaties between
countries last just as long as they
suit both parties. The moment they
do not suit the governing powers set
TO work to obtain modification, and
when force of arms is resorted to all
compacts. agreements and treaties
disappear.
1t would have been sound policy for
this government under the circum-
stances it now stands in. to have de-
nounced the Spanish treaty. over
which the Morning Grandmother
dribbles so much. The course taken
may possibly lead to complications
such as are suggested, but a bold
course cutting off all diplomatic rela-
tons would leave this government alb
/ solutely free from all future dangers,
whatever the present danger might
/ be. The present danger is, as we all
know, a negative quantity, and it
would have been wise for the govern
ment to have taken the advice of the
Minister of Foreign Affairs rather
than have adopted the somewhat va
cillating position it now occupies.
We have thrown in our lot with the
United States and we have to abide
by it. Small as we are, we are virtu
ally at war with Spain and no jug
Cling of terms can make us neutral
The position is one in which we ii
acquiesce heartily. but it would b,
wise for us to officially state on
standpoint and run all risks that m.
be incurred boldly. We have to rul
them anyhow.

There seems to be an idea afloat
that Cervera is heading for the Paci-
tic, exactly which way is not stated.
Some think he is going via Cape Horn,
others via the Cape of Good Hope.

parently the authority. Paris news
papers, and in fact all French news
papers, are VIGOROUSLY inaccurate,
and in the matter of news are fifty
years behind the times. The actual
facts are that Admiral Cevera is bot
fled up in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba, and in proof of it there is a po-
lite note from Ceryera to Sampson
telling the latter that his boats crew
which went in with the Merrimac,
was safe.

a being superhundn. This is wrong,
for he was human, being with human
faiiings. He was. among other things,
a rnost astute politician, and he knew
men perfectly; and to this he owed
much o. his success. He had no false
pride, but he was possessed of a super
abundance of good common sense; and
never did ne give better example of it
than when he retained Seward in his
cabinet after the latter had made some
suggestions as to the management of
affairs that were not accepted, and
that were rather sarcastic. During the
war he gathered around him many
great men. but he was the greatest
of them all. He has been dead nearly a
third of q century, still he is too near
our times, the scenes in which he was

is impossible to place a true estimate
upon him. There are those whose ad-

transform him from man into a demi-

in every sense a man, a man OF whom
all men may be proud, for he was one
of the noblest of the race. His name
will ever be an inspiration to American

A NEW ESTIMATE OF BURNS.

The other day first edition of Burns
poems was sold for 81, 500. That was
the result of the first edition fad that
many people have, and like all fads
they pay a round price for it. The
last edition of Burns poems is the
Centenary. edited by Henly and Hen
derson. 1t contains a monograph on
the peasant poet, one that is extra
ordinary and intended to demolish the
ideal Burns. Part of this monograph
is as follows:
There needs but little knowledge of
character and life to see that to apol-
ogize for Burns is vain; that we must
accept him frankly and without reserve
for peasant of genius perverted from
MS peasanthood, thrust into a place
for which his peasanthood and his
genius alike untitled him. denied d
perfect opportunity, constrained to live
his qualities into defects. and in the
long run beaten by a sterile and un
natural environment. We cannot make
him other than he WIS, and, especially,
we cannot make him a man of our
own time; man born tame and civil
and uneXcessive-''h that died o We'd
nesday," and had obituary notices in
local prints. His elements are all too
gross, are all too vigorous and turbu
lent for that. God have mercy on me"
he once wrote Of himself, "a poor damn
ed. incautious, duped. unfortunate fool,
the sport, the miserable victim OF re-
bellious pride, hypochOndriac magma
lions. aSoniZing sensibility and bedlam
passions" Plainly he knew himself as
his apologists have never known him.
nor viii ever know him.
There is much truth in this. for
Burns life was not altogether an ex-
emplary one: but that which makes
Mr.. Henley's estimate OF the poet seem
so harsh is its lack OF charity. If his
transgressions were great so were his
suferings. especially in the later years
of his life. But people do not read
Burns because of his own life. but be
cause they find in him that which
speaks to their hearts and appeals to
their souls. His humble origin and
for a while his meteoric career and
tfen the going back to the humble life,
make Burns a very romantic character.
And what does his life show? That a
man may be poet and have a SYM
rathy with mankind that few possess
and still not be at all exemplary in
his life Is it not best that a mans
faults be forgotten and his virtues re-
membered2

THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.

Senator HanSbrough, at the instance
of the secretary of the interior, has
introduced a bill for the enlargement
of the Yellowstone National park so
as to increase the area from 1921
square miles TO $3.50 square miles. The
lands included in the various addi
lions are all mountainous, and most of
them are heavily wooded. The south
ernmost addition includes Jackson's
Hole, which Superintendent Young
says, in recommending the addition, is
a valuable winter resort for game
Colonel Young says the extension of
the parks limits by these additions
would supply such natural boundaries
that with only is miles of fencing, the
park game could be effectually enclosed
and protected from poachers.
AS a chief object of the park is to
serve as a preserve for large game
that it may not become extinct. it
should be enlarged to serve that pur-
pose if bit is not now doing it. There
are in the park at the present time
quite a few buffalo besides elk. deer,
bear and the like, but it seems that in
the winter time a very large part of
the game quit the park and so into the
Jackson's Hole country, where hunt
ers are free to pursue it if so minded.
Ii the inclusion of this country within
the limits of the park. with less than
a score of miles of fencing, will eff
fectually preserve the game that
ranges in the park in the summer time,
it would be we'll to include it. There
are a number of settlers in the Jack
sons Hole country and their rights
should be carefully safeguarded even
though they should be nothing more
than squatters rights. This would no
doubt be done, though of course if the
limits of the park were extended so as
to embrace their holdings. they would
of necessity have to remove.
The Yellowstone park having been
set apart for the purpose of a national
game preserve, it should be made to
fulfill its purpose. and whatever leg
isIation may be necessary to do this
should be enacted.

THE DE LONE INCIDENT.

Senior de LONE having promptly for
warded his resignation so soon as he
learned that his letter to Senior Can
alejas had been stolen and its contents
made public and it having been ac-
cepted before the request for his recall
had been presented to the Madrid gov
eminent, the incident may be consid-
cred closed.
It is certain that the letter is a great
chagrin to the Sagasta cabinet. and it
is probable that the chief effect of it
win be to make the Spanish govern
ment more polite and assiduous in its
attention to the requests of the Wash
ington government than it has been.
1t will do this that it may offset the
bad impression which the letter will
naturally cause and that the pro-Cuban
sentiment of the country may not be
intensified It will hardly have any
effect whatever upon the Cuban ques-
ton, though undoubtedly such was the
anticipation of those who stole the
letter De LONE forestalled any pos
sible effect it might have had by the
course ne pursued III promptly IeSlSH-
ing so soon as he found out what
false step he had made. If the private
opinions of ali diplomats at Washing
ton and other capitals were divulged
the whole world would be turned up

for diplomats to transmit correspond
ence is to employ a courier as was
done in the days before steam and tele-
graphs and postal facilities.
