A Washington writer who hasn't much use for the way the senate does it's business says that it is a matter of very great regret that the senate and president have agreed to disagree con- corning the necessity of amending the arbitration treaties, and it emphasizes the cumbrous, nol-adaptive machinery of our government In it's relations to foreign powers. Senates and presi- dents have disagreed before The first treaty ever sent to the senate was amended and it is not recalled that that body has since failed to exercise it's amendatory function. The senate is jealous of it's dignity and of its re- putation as a deliberative body. No one will deny it the distinction of De- ing deliberative. Several of its mem- bers hold the record of having spoken continuously, with brief intervals for nourishment and sleep for twenty four hours.

is obvious already that there will be no division on party lines. The presi- dent in his message points out the ad- vantages which must accrue to the southern, and especially the gulf states, from stability and prosperity in 'the Dominican republic, and his argu-
 ment appeals to southern democrats
 with quite as much force as to north ern republicans. The protocol. or treaty, provides that the United States shall take charge of the financial af
 fairs of San Domingo; collect, at the expense of that republic, all of her customs duties and turn over to the San Domingan government 45 per cent of the gross receipts for current expenses; out of the remaining D Der cent shall be paid the expenses of col lection, and the remainder shall be de- voted to the payment of San Domin- go's outstanding indebtedness. The United States will also adiudicate all unlquidated indebtedness and will eX- ercise reasonable control over the tar if schedules of the republic until its debts shall be paid. In his message the president reviews the long history of San Domingo's ''frenZied finance which has produced a condition of ab- solute insolvency, and declares that this country cannot logically maintain the Monroe doctrine ill its entirety without taking the proposed step. He points out that this country would re- gard as unfriendly any interference with San Domingo's destiny by na- ton not of this hemisphere and yet there are European creditors who have exhausted every diplomatic eXpedient in their efforts to collect the just dues and which now appeal to the United States to enforce the payment of these dues or to permit forcible control Of San Domingan affairs by her Euro pean creditors The protocol makes manifest San Domingo's willingness to have the United States act as her receiver and sentiment seems to be tending toward the belief that such re- ceivership constitutes the only satis- factory solution of the problem pre- sented by the insolvent republic.

Professor Felix Adler declared, in recent address. that happiness is not the great end of marriage, and that its real end is ''the promotion of the worlds moral growth" writes Henry F. Harris, in Madame for March. This will be news to thousands of happily married and contented people who have all along believed that their mat ing was for the promotion of mutual joy. and who are convinced that the pursuit of happiness is one of the prin- cipal aims of life; thitt it is an incen- tive to the greatest activity of the mental and physical forces. With Pope, they say: 70 happiness. our beings end and aim" The promotion of moral growth is best served and can only be brought about when the handspring of the union is the perpetu- alton of happiness--a bliss which makes for moral uplifting, a willing ness to endure sacrifice, a desire to be helpful. A happy marriage is the only marital union which can in any way promote or add to "the worlds moral growth" One of the greatest delights which can come to loving and loved wife is the knowledge that her husband is happy. and his chief concern is the promotion of their mu- tual felicity.

The Swayne impeachment trial drags wearily on in the senate with little apparent sign of reaching d con clusion. although the attorneys for tue defendant assert their belief that they will be able to bring the case to q close by the last of the week. The end is still in doubt. although that seems to be largely the result of popular misconception of the character of an Impeachment. It is pro3able that the devisers of impeachment proceedings Intended to provide means of remov- ing a judge or other official. otherwise irremovahle. when such official had demonstrated his unfitncss for the of- fec he held. but did not intend that such removal. or impeachment. should constitute a punishmens or disgrace even more excessive than criminal prosecution and short term of i'm priSonment But whatever may have been the intention of those who pro- vided the machinery for impeachment. it is manifest now that man im- pcached would he more seriousiy pun iShed than the man convicted of a mi nor Offcnse and imprisoned therefor.

restrained Ihe question:
Left alone in the studio, Orlopp stood
by the dying mans side and counted,
sometimes aloud, the minutes of waiting.
As the men of old-time strove against
the fates in the theaters of Greece, SO in
some sense was he contending with them
in that momentous year of the nineteenth
century. One by one the leaves of this
life before him were falling. A sigh,
breath long drawn, might snap the thread
forever. And all mans skill must be
impotent before this great play of chance,
this jest of destiny ever capricious when
humanity is her sport Orlopp feared
almost to turn away his eyes. Was
Sabine de Saint-Beuve in Paris, or had
she fled before the war? He listened with
ear intent for the sound of her steps.
Would she come too late? All, what
suspense what desire that this life should
be given to him!
She came to the studio at six o'clock,
a yelled figure, but not SO closely yelled
that the exquisite eyes and deep chest
nut hair of one of the most beautiful
women in Paris were hidden from them.
Pride had dealt churlishly with the lovers
through the years of misunderstanding;
but Sabine de Saint-Beuve never had
ceased to carry Gabriels image close to
her heart and to believe that the day
of harvest would reward her. Had the
summons come from the Gabriel of yes

answered it with her fathers disdain;
but when a sweet voice told her of a
stricken man and darkened room and a
life that ebbed away with the dying day,
then pride bent the head and the woman
within her spoke.
Il will go to him." she said. "My
place is at his side"
The darkened streets were full of the
returning soldiers as the two hurried to
the Avenue de Jena. Bivouac fires had
been lighted upon the Champs-Elysees
and their weird light shone oninously
around the gloom of the gathering night,
To Dolores this picture of woe seemed to
say that her errand had been vain.

dread fear she approached Gabriel's
house with the hesitation of one who
believes that the worst is to be learned
Nor would Edmund Orlopp himself
dare to say what the truth was when he
met them with hand upraised and weary
face.
He has not moved since you left"
he said to Dolores, and then to Sabine
de Saint Beuve: "At least you have
done an act of charity in coming to us,
madernoiselle."
Her answer was a look of anguish
from eyes which could not hide the truth.
Half-vei1ed as she was, she knelt at
Gabriel's side and put her cold hand
upon his heart. He turned as a man
who is in sleep and breathed a full
breath again.
''Sabine!' he murmured in voice so
low that the whisper of flowers had been
a greater sound.
The girl bent down and kissed his fore

scene. In an anteroom the sobs of an
old servant were to be heard. They had
not summoned the artists friends, nor
did any think of doing SO. Perhaps they
did not understand that he was dying,
for Edmund Orlopp had confessed as
much to Dolores alone.
Twice upon the road Gabriel had
opened his eyes and spoken with a res1g-
nation which defed hope. Il am going
to dream again." he had said. You

They answered him with what gentle
words they could Within the studio a
deadly pallor crept upon his face, and
the staring eyes of dying man fell upon
THE voice within us never lies he
said raising himself upon his elbow and
gazing intently at the canvas I'VE do
not dream in vain. Every thought every
act that is the impulse of an unknown
voice, should be sacred to us. You
cannot save me, Orlopp. There is the
decree. The night gave it to me; the
night will fulfill"
He sank back upon the pillow and
closed his eyes Premonition of his own
death was killing him, for he had suffered
no mortal wound Loss of blood there
had been; but no organ was wounded

but for the picture of his dream he would

He knew how much resignation cost
her and how her affectionate nature
suffered for this man she had esteemed
SO greatly, this genius whom the whole
civilized world would mourn tomorrow.
And yet he had confessed nothing but
the truth when he told her that his skill
could do no more. Gabriel Sordelli lay
dying for his faith in his own handiwork
He would die because the figure of his
dream lay dead before him. Thus Or
lopp reasoned as he paced the gloomy
room and watched the pallid face. Could
nothing yet be done? Was there no key
to this passing enigma of fate and doom?
Desperately, as one tortured by doubt
and the omens of despair he stood again
before the canvas, and studied every line
of it. With what transcendent skill it
had been painted! How perfect was the
light and shade! And the portrait itself
