The Cznr,s Real Motive

Judging from an interview published
with Hon. E. a. Hitchcock, late am
bassador to Russia who is about to
succeed Mr.. Bliss as secretary Of the
Interior in the Presidents cabinet, n
new light is placed upon the scheme OF
the czar Of Russia for an international
disarmament, with view to establish
Ing universal peace. According to Mr..
Hitchcock the proposal at the confer
ence is not to be for a disarmament and
the dIsbandment OF the great armies
of Europe, but proposition not to in
crease the present forces. This is de-
cidedly different In some respects from
the popular idea of the cars inten-
lions.
Our late ambassador to. the cars
court states that the purpose OF the
conference is TO arrive at an agreement
not to increase the armament, and that
this was the intent OF the circular
which provoked so much comment and
was so favorably received by some OF
the powers. He gives the cars belief
that the enormous amounts of money
expended to bring the ornaments Of
the nations to the standard of the new
devices that are being constantly in
vented, would do greater good If used
for the benefit of the people by improv-
Ing their conditions.
In countries, such as Russia and some
other European nations. where the
standing armies are enormous, and are
kept up at tremendous expense, and
where millions are expended each year
to keep them OH the same footing with
each other, each fearful Of the others,
pending the chess game which is con-
stantly in progress among the powers,
and the people. the common people.
are taxed for the purpose. while the
needs Of modern progress and advance
ment along all lines are so great, the
plan seems to meet with favor. Par
ticularly Is this true OF Russia her.
self, and that the car Of all the Rus
slas should be the first to realize it
sufficiently to take the Initiative is one
of the remarkable features OF the sit
uation. If he is successful in the un-
dcrtaking he will have conferred a
blessing upon Europe, and will have
the cordial good will of America.

Senator Mason Again Wounded,

Senator Mason, Of Illinois is having
trouble in these days In spite of every
endeavor to cvade It. He had very
bad case Of Philippinltis, pending the
debate on the peace treaty, and when
the senators refused to permit his con-
sent-of- thc-g governed resolution to come
to a vote he did all that he could do
to- obstruct the business in hand. He
has had prevailing sympathy for the
F'ilipinos. which we all have-that Is,
for the people Of the island. who have
been mislcd by constituencies leaders
but Mason went further; he wanted
the Philippines handed right over to
Aguinaldo. and introduced resolution
which would have embarrassed the
whole country, rendered useless the
treaty and got us into situation which
would have ended In a sacrifice of the
national honor. II 1t had not done n
whole lot Of other things. He still
sticks to his sympathy for the down
trodden Aguinaldo, and wants to see a
iIl'uDilS Ht'tn peace
and order are restored by this great re-
public.
But Mr.. Mason met with something
lie wasn't calculating on when he adj
dressed the societies OF the Sons of the
Revolution and OF the American Iscvo-
luton in Washington in aid OF the fund
for the proposed statue Of Lafayette to
be erected In Paris during the coming
exposition. Senator Mason got along very
well rs he INDUCED In beautiful and
popular sentiment. In speaking to the
IONS Of the fathers OF '7G, but he made
the inevitable break and kicked every
thing into the fire. when he said: Eyes,
Hungary had her Lafayette. Poland had
her Lafayette. America had her Lafay-
cite and the Philippines will have
their Lafayette"
This sounded all right until the sltua-
tlon began to dawn upon the Sons of
the Revolution. and then they began
TO hiss. The applause had subsidized and
Mr. Mason was aGaln wounded in his
heart. Surely the senator from Illinois

THE lNTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, FEBRUARY 81, 1890.


e .
There has been much comment In the
press regarding the trade relations be-
tween the United States and Germany.
and In both countries there has been
more anxiety expressed than is war
rantcd by the statistics. which show
that the trade Is not at all disturbed.
a brief extract Of report from the
United States bureau of statistics. pub
llshed yesterday, shows that the general
impression of 4 depression In American
trade in Germany and German trade
in this country is not based upon the
facts. This statement, accompanied by
the figures. indicates that the United
States has increased her percentage Of
trade with Germany. both as to I'm
ports. and exports, and that 1t is now
larger than it has been at any; previous
time. i Ss,s ~, :
When It Is considered atS.accordlng

many increased II per cent. in the six
months of 1898 just past, over the cor
responding six months. Of 1897. while
during the same period the imports
from Germany were about % per cent.
greater, the showing does not bear out
the impression that the trade is being
affected through the conditions which
are the subject of so much discussion.
The report Of the bureau OF statistics,
which. by the way. shows that even
our pork is gaining ground and that on.
cotton Is growing more popular in Ger
many. says, among other things:
n decade ago ten per cent. OF our i'm
ports was taken to Germany. while now
thirteen per cent. comes from that coun-
try: decade ago eight per cent Of our
exports went 10 Germany, now over thir-
teen Sosc TO that country. and In the last
half or the calendar year 1897 our exports
to Germany We're So, 632. 100. and In the
last half OF the calendar year 1895 were

iive per cent. Our exports TO Germany

1897 were SIT,l22.O5S. and in the last half

Thc legislature

Judging from the action OF the state
senate yesterday In passing the omnibus
bill increasing the taxes of certain cor
porations, in view of the action already
taken by the house. looks as though the
proposed Legislation will not material
lie In the legislature. 1t seems that 1t
Will be impossible for the two houses
to agree upon 4 measure that would be
satisfactory to both. and considering
the shortness OF the time II Is not at all
likely that any bill of the nature will
be passed.
1t seems, at this late day. indeed, as
II the number of laws that will be added
TO the statute books will be exceedingly
small, outside Of the local bills which
have found their way through both
houses. Some very important matters
that should have received attention will
have to hold over for another session,
If some actions that may be reconsId-
cred had n little time. good things
that have been done would likely be
undonc. II there Is anything in the at
tempt to reconsider some measures that
were justly defeated. One OF these Is
the valued insurance policy bill. which
was killed in the senate. but which
some Of those favorIng It, now desire TO
reconsider. And there are others.
The Intclllgenccr has too much faith
in the Legislature. however. TO believe
that bad legislation will be rushed
through at the last minute.
