Electric Park Club House Burned
About 6 30 O'Clock OH Wednesday morning
last the old frame club house, deck and grotto
at Electric Park, Arlington, were entirely de-
stroyed by fire that originated just over the en-
CINE and is supposed to have been caused by
It. The flames spread with great ferceness,
but the Arlington fire department prevented
the destruction of other nearby buildings.
Nearly everything in the building was lost,
there being no time to save the furniture or
stock. The estimated loss on building and
contents is $4,000, with insurance of some
thing over half that amount. The only per-
son in the building at the time the fire started
was Mrs Mary Wall, the matron. She was
asleep in room on the third floor and her life
was saved with difficulty.

Last Monday the insurgents about
the city Of Santo Domingo fired upon
the launch of the United States crui.
ser Yankee, killing Engineer j. c..
Johnston and openly attacking the
American flag.
In itself the incident is not OF great
international Importance. But it is
symptomatic of a condition that has
prevailed for a century in Santo Dom
lingo and it's neighbor, Hayti, and
whose further endurance by the
United States is a public scandal.
The people of these two so-called
republics have proved, through three
generations of experiment and expert
ence, absolutely incapable of orderly
government. Their history is but a
chronicle of factional brawls and their
rulers but a succession of military
adventures.
Aside from the destruction of the
Maine there was nothing in the con.
dition of Cuba more warranting Ameri-
can intervention than there is and
long has been in the condition of Santo
Domingo and Hayti. People so bar
barous as to murder Engineer Johns,
ton would not hesitate to blow up an
American national vessel with all her
crew.
1t is time to drop the sentimental
nonsense which has governed our
treatment of this American island

from the secretary Of state. They
seem to think that the relations of tho
whole country 20 foreign nations are
an appropriate field in which to develop
personal and political rancor, and
seek for partisan advantage at the eX-
pense OF the whole country. If they
cannot find at home political issues on
which their party may ride into power
they. in search OF such issues. play
politics with the foreign relations OF
the government, careless of the injury
they may inflict upon the credit and
prosperity of their country.
1t is unfortunate that senators who
have been trying to make political
capital out OF an important treaty now
before the senate have not that high
sense of patriotic duty and of regard
for the welfare of the whole country
which Secretary Hay put in one preg.
nant sentence. They should go to
school to him until they have learned
the difference between the foreign
and domestic affairs of nation. Every
man in public life should know and
respect it, but there are senators who
do not They have made themselves
so conspicuous that it is not necessary
to name them.

Neither Patriotic Nor Polite.

By still holding up" the Panama
treaty, Senator German and his asso-
ciates may be embarrassing the adj
ministration, but they certainly are
injuring their own party.
Incident to the presidential election
in Colombia popular feeling in the
little republic is excited Reports
from BOgota are that a large force
of troops is to be sent to the isthmus.
If this be done the United States
will be at war with Colombia.
Responsibility will be charged upon
the Democratic senators who, refusing
TO recognize an accomplished fact and
in order to put the administration in
hole delay the treaty ard encour-
age the Colombians in their miscon.
ception of this country's attitude.
Secretary Hays note of Nov. II dis
tiuctly stated that under this govern
ment's Interpretation of its obliga-
lions no hostile troops would be per
mitted TO land in any part of Panama.
Since that time the new republic has
been recognized by all the great Euro
pean powers and the United States
has negotiated with it a treaty guar
anteeing the integrity of its territory
the treaty now before the senate.
Thus, as Mr.. Hay asserts, Panama
has acquired IAN inchoate right" to
our protection and invasion by Colon
bia would be fcrci5y repealed by the
United States. In view of the strong
popular desire for the canal of the
demands expressed by southern leg
islatures and Of the demonstration in
caucuses that Democratic senator's
cannot be mustered to defeat the
treaty, Mr.. German and his associates
are neither patriotic nor polite in pro
tracing their vain and factious hold

Mr.. BRYAN and Mr.. Carneoie.

Mr.. Bryan. as becomes a blossoming
plutocrat, begins to emulate Mr. Car
negie. He is to erect and give to Sa-
lem. H.. the city of his birth. a library
building, to cost $25 900. Then he is
to provide and install a library at a
cost of $4,000. 1t may be doubted
if that is not too much money to
spend upon the books in $4,000
building. Whether the sum be dispro-
portionate or not, it testifes to the
donors breadth of view and enl!ght-
ened generosity. The race between
Mr.. Carnegie and Mr.. Bryan will be
watched with thrilling excitement by
all the admirers of philanthropy,
Mr.. Carnegie may have more money,
but Mr., Bryan has more youth, pro-
fitable pen and voice and great tesla
mentary expectations. Mr.. Carnegie
is trying to give away his money
while he is living. Mr.. Bryan collects
the money from the dead to give away.

they seem,-New York Sun.

NEBRASKA FIGHTS FOR LAND
Attorney General Prout Has Gone to
WaShnuton,

Attorney General Prout has gone to
Washington to represent the state in
the case in the United States supreme
court wherein Nebraska and Missouri
are each trying to own an island in
the Missouri river along side of Ne.
maha county The evidence was pre-.
scented to a commission consisting of
Alfred IlaZlett and John w. Hallibur-
ton, who have now prepared their re-
port to the court
The findings of the commissioners
are regarded as being favorable to
Nebraska since the two officers agree
that The Missouri river went on a
rampage on July 3. 1861. and withip
one day cut across the neck of Nema-
ha county, leaving new channel,
while the old channel, which had
meandered around several miles to the
eastward, gradually dried up. The
Nebraska officials believe that this
makes a clear case for this state, the
theory of the law being that land
which is cut off by some sudden
change in stream remains within
the original jurisdiction, while If 1t
had been cut off by gradual shifting
of the sands the jurisdiction would
become that of the territory to which
the new land attaches.
