TREATIES AS A SOURCE OF WAR
Washington Irving on Their Failure
as Binding Promises.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In treating of the breach Of the
treaty between Peter Stuyvesant COR
Peter the Headstrong) and the Amphyc-
tionic Council, in his "Knickerbocker'5
New York." Washington Irving sums
up the entire subject of treaties in a
very concise and convincing manner,
as follows, viz:
"And how many and well meaning
nations, who would otherwise have re-
manned in the most Rmicable DISPOSE
ton toward each other, have been
brought to swords points about the
infringement or misconstruction of
some treaty which in an evil hour
they had concluded by way of making
their amity more sure.
Treaties at best are but complied
with so long as interest requires their
fulilment, consequently they are vir-
tually binding OH the weaker party
only, or, in plain truth, they are not
binding at all. No nation will wan
tonly go to war with another if il has
nothing TO gain thereby, and there
fore needs no treaty to restrain it from
violence, and if IL have anything TO
gain much question, from what have
witnessed of the righteous conduct of
nations, whether any treaty could be
made so strong that it could not thrust
the sword through-nay, | would hold.
ten TO one, the treaty itself would be
the very source to which resort would
be had, to find a pretext for hostili-
ties" JOHN B. VROOM.

BUY A BALE OF COTTON"
The South 10 New York:

Say, brother in the North,
I hope you'll find IL worth
A little of your time
To listen 10 my rhyme.
We're way down in the mouth,
We fellers in the South.
We picked bumper crop
And thought to be on top
When European war
Delivered US a jar.
We do not want TO croak
But we are nearly broke.
You have noble soul
And carry big roll.
The times are simply rotten,
Just buy a bale Of cotton.
You'll make a bit no doubt
And help your brother out.
New York to the South:
Well, il you are my brother,
We must help one another;
But, Johnny. don't you see
You're rather rough on me.
When cloudless is the sky
And the goose is hanging high,
'Tis then with ghoulish glee
You have il in for me.
You find no word of praise
For any Of our ways.
You try TO clip our wings
And call US dreadful things;
Our Wall Street is a sink,
You'd put it on the blink;
You hand US little jokers.
And tax our idle brokers,
And try TO bring Us loss
BY putting one across.
But when you're in hole
You laud our noble soul.
And then for help you fly
To those whom you decry.
A question let me ak,
Who pays the income taxi
If money you would raise
Who IL the one that pays
For philanthropic work?
It's little old New York
When there are loads TO bear
She takes the lions share.
Our times are also rotten
But send along your cotton,
For, seeing it is you,
| guess we'll help you through.
