England Shows The Cloven

New York Daily News.
England, as might have been ex-
pected, is already showing the
cloven hoof in the Canadian bound
airy negotiations. While to-day
American are lachrymose in their
sympathy for tho mother country"
Salisbury has been plotting in the
dark with Laurier and his compa-
triots with view to stealing Pyra-
mid Harbor. 1t is announced that
the Clayton Bulwer treaty will be
played against our rights in the
Northwest; that we will be estop-
ped, or something of the sort, from
building the Nicaragua canal un-
less we give up what belongs to us
in Alaska, Every informed person
knows that the Clayton-B ulwer
treaty was practically abrogated by
Eugland's own act years ago. Her
Majesty's Government has no rights
in the promises whatever.

gun the machinations by which his
freebooting sovereign hopes to COB
BILE up another strip of land be-
longing to somebody else, and the
pity of it is that, with John Hay
in the office of Secretary of State,
it is not unlikely the steal will be
accomplished. England has made
great protestations of friendship
for the United States, largely and
mainly because she was unpopular
with every other nation in the
world Recently, however, she has
made a sort of pact with Germany
and, feeling moro Independent, has
at once returned to her thieving
tricks. The capacity for diplomat
ic laundering shown by Mckinley
nppointees doubtless encourages
Pauncefote in the opinion that
he can have things his own way.
