Relations has agreed to amend the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.so as to pre-
scribe that none of the restrictions in
its first five sections shall apply to
any measures which the United
States may find it necessary to take
in time Of war. Theae five sections
grant entire freedom tn all nations in
the canal III war or peace; forbid
blockades i'll the canal; forbid loiter-
ing or revictnaling as var ships or
tiisembarkfng Of troops, and extend
the same provisions to the harbors at
each cid. The prohibition of torti-
fications is not affected by the amend
ment. In short, the amendment
puts in the treaty clause which Sec
retary Hay omitted because the
powers granted by it are those which
the United States would hold in time
Of war under any circumstances. As
a matter of course, it being impossi-
BILE to fortify the canal, it eau only
be defended by war ships which
must lie outside Of its harbors to give
battle satisfactorily, and the amend
ment gives almost no rights not al
ready III existence without it. 1t is
now included in Difference to the out
cry of certain people who take more
interest in hampering the work of the
Administration and in antagonizing
anything that it may do, than they
do in the welfare of the country.
The amendment is modelled after q
somewhat similar provision in the
Suez canal convention, bnt which,
strictly speaking, does not apply to
to the case of Nicaraugua. The Khe-
dive of Egypt Or his suzerain, the
Sultan, exercises sovereignty over
both shores of the Suez canal and of
its southern outlet, the Red Sea, and
could plausibly demand the right sto
secure the defence Of Egypt and
maintain public order" by defending
the Suez canal. The United States,
however, owns no territory adioin-
ing the proposed canal, and were the
llay-Pauncetote Treaty made to con.
form ILL all respects to the Constanti-
nopie convention, the defensive
powers granted to the kkedive and
the Sultan would logically be con-
ferred on the republics of Nicarauga
and Costa Rico.
Republicans, may congratulate
themselves that the French, reci-.
proci,y treaty. negotiated bX Com
missioner Kasson with an extraordi-
nary Disregard, of American interests,
will not become law at this session,
if ever. According to its terms, the
treaty must be ratified by March "a
or it will fail, unless France is willing
to extend the time for its further
consideration, as Secretary Hay has
asked her to do. Senator Aldrich,

Vaccination.

We notice from the papers that cor
respondence has taken place bet tween cur
townsman, DR.. J. e.. Going, smallpox
physician of Union, and DR.. James
Evans, of the Stale board. The CORE
rcspondence was referred to Gov. Nc
Sweeney who took it up with Senator
Douglass. DIR. Going wrote personal
letter to the governor setting forth the
facts that he had quaran!ined Il case of
small poX near Delta and attempted to
vacclnate those who had been expose d.
They resisted and lie appealed to Magis-
trate L. NJ. Mobley who refused to issue
warrants for their arrests, and after
reading the law stated he would resign
rather than gain thu ill will of the COM
munity by enforcing the vaccination.
MI. l. NJ. Nobley writes Gov. Nc
Sweeney that the charges are absolutely
false and asks that an investigation be
made before action is taken.
1t is about time that the people make
up their minds to obey the law regard
ing vaccination, otherwise the disease of
small pox can not be controlled. and the
the sooner the officers of the law make
up their minds to 90 their duty when
called upon the better.

Newberry Has Our Sympathy.

The grim monster has surely laid a
heavy hand on our sister city New
berry during the last week. 1t is
with much regret that we resd the
ac count Of the death Of Mr.. r. H.
Grenrler, Sr., and Mr.. I. N. Gary.
They were both good men and New
berry can i'll afford the loss Of such
valuable citizens. We have the kind
est rccollections Of both, having known
them from our childhood. They were
both noted for their kind, gentle and
christian characters. We have been
associated with Mr.. Greneker great
deal in our apprenticeship in the
printing business, and have always
found him a kind and obliging friend,
ever ready to give n kindly word OF
advice and we considered him one Of
our very best friends. We shall ever
remember him with the kindliest
feelings, to know him was to love
him for his kind and gentle nature,
and ever cheerful disposition. The
family have our most heartfelt SYM
pathy in their affliction.

Faust.

Mr.. Hubert Labadic with his excel.
! lent company presented Faust Tuesday
night tOa small but appreciative audi,
ence. This company is thoroughly
equipped with scenery, electrical ap-
paratus, etc. The playing was good
throughout. Hubert LabaIie, as Me-
phisto, and Mary Won Tromp as Marsu
erite, handled their lines in professional,
manner.
The scenic effect was by far the
grandest ever seen in this city. The
electric display was almost ca nl to
Pdine's fire works. The electric splrl5
that sputtered and flashed all over the
stage, manipulated b, Mephisto himself,
in the most demonical manner, which
caused shudder to pass over the audi
encc when showing tho attractiveness
OF his abode, was something awful TO
behold. The company Gel tainly deserved
very much larger audience. The effects
OF the red, white or blue lights used in
the different acts were beautiful to
behold. Should Mr.. Labadie make
return we think he would meet much
larger audience.
