THE PENDING TREATY.

Tomorrow, according TO present ar
judgements, the Senate will vote on
the -Pauncefote treaty, and Will
decide upon the various amendments
pending have a bearing directly
rrca the proposed Isthmian canal. The
draft of the treaty as submitted specl-
fes that this government shall not for
tlfv the canal, but does provide for an
adequate police force of military ma
ture, to protect it against lawlessness
and disorder" The Davis amedment
recommended by the Committee on
Foreign Relations, contains stpula-
tion that the United States may take
measures upon necessity to secure by
it's own forces the defenseS of the
United States and the maintenance of
public order. There is also before the
Senate a further amendment by Sn-
ator Teller providing that the United
States shall be ait liberty to maintain
such military force along the canal as
may be necessary to protect it against
lawlessness and disorder, and our own
Senator Elkins, not satisfied with
either of the.e is of the opinion that
this government should incorporate
authority to adequately fortify the
canal in any nanner considered most
advantageous for protection, and Sena-
tor Mason is in line with Jhis idea.
The wide difference of opinion upon
this important matter mas suggested
compromise measures as necessary 20 a
two-thirds vote, and one proposition to
this end is: Adopt the Teller amend
ment when offered, striking out she
stipulation that 10 fortificat.ons shall
he erected, and remove the Davis
amendment from the end OF article 5 70
the end of article Z, thus making it
cover the entire treaty. IN this way the
United States would be left free to
to take any and all measures necessary
to protect the canal.
This is The situation at present, as
far as can be CLEANED from Washing
ton kilograms. There is no doubt but
that Great Britain will be displeas2d
with any abrogation of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, and may decline to ac-
cept the changes proposed, and this
may evertuate in complications of q
more or less serious nature. F)r
America to yield the point, however,
would be to confess that the Monroe
policy is no longer a cardinal Ameri-
can principle, and the concession
would constitute a first and long step
in the direction Of surrendering Amer

FOR AND AGAINST DIVORCE.

Pittsburg Post.
Exception is taken by the judges in
New York City to the recent declara-
ton of Bishop Potter, that the love of
money is not only the root of crime
and corruption, nut of divorce. The
judges before whom most of the divorce
cases come, and they are declared to
be a small number, considering the
population, hold that the divorce in
most cases spring from ill-aSsorted and
inconsiderate marriages, and that the
love of money plays only small part.
Judge Andrews said:
Where the wife brings divorce it
is usually because she has conceived
an aversion to her husband or a fancy
for some other man, and she always
demands the custody of the children,
while insisting upon their maintenance
by the husband. In fact, both parties
profess great love for and concern
about their children, but plainly show
that they don't care a particle for the
children's interests"
One of the judges declared that the
love money" had made people bet
ter, healthier and more temperate
than they formerly were" Another de-
clared that the number OF divorces did
not exceed one in a thousand mar
riages a year. Judge Lawrence held
that the leading cause of divorce was
natural depravity. and that love of
money was only an unimportant fac
tor. Another judge held that the d.
vorce laws of the State should be more
liberal than they now are. and that
divorces should be allowed for drunk
enness, incOmpatibility of temper. etc.
as in other States and that mere legal
separation tends to gross immortality
He would prefer extending the oppor-
tunities for divorce.
On this subject it is announced that
a constitutional amendment will be
submitted to Congress giving Congress
control of marriage and divorce. That
is the only way in which a system of
marriage and divorce laws can be
created which will apply alike to all
States and people But the adoption
of such constitutional amendment is
in the highest degree improbable. The
States will retain control of the sub
ject, and it is right that they should.
even considering the disadvantages
/, arising from conflicting laws. Better
bear the ills we have than fly to others
we know not of. There is a distinct
trend, however, to State uniformity on
certain general principles regulating
marriage and divorce, and in time
there viii be substantial uni ormity in
all the States
