That EriahtfuI Stencil.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
There was a frightful stencil in the
atmosphere Of keokuk about the time
the large audience which heard Mr..
Roosevelt made its exit from the opera
house Saturday night. | refer to the
stencil, which presumably emanated
from one of the city's poultry offal
Cor awfuD crematories. This null
sance has heretofore made itself felt
when, in hot summer nights, residents
of the city have awoke with lungs and
nostrils filled with the offensive and
more or less deadly gases and been
compelled to close doors and windows
in an effort to avoid it. Perhaps
Keokuk citizens may have become ac-
custonaed TO such condition, but 1t
certainly cannot leave a favorable i'm
preston with strangers who may hap
psn to be in our city. 1t should be
the duty of the city health officer or
others in authority to ferret out the
person or firm responsible and see
that the nuisance is abated. Ii It
is found necessary to burn feathers,
some means should be devised where
by their aromatic extraction may be
confined 10 the immediate vicinity In
which it originates.

LAWS AND TREATIES.

The Jones shipping bill which was passed
hastily during the closing days OF the last legis
lative session and approved by the president,
contains a section which instructed him to ter
inmate bv September fifth all treaties which re-
strict the right of the United States to impose
discriminatory duties or tonnage dues on Tor
eign vessels. This would mean the abrogauon
of thirty-tBo treaties, and raises the question
whether the act Of congress has force superior
to a treaty negotiated by the president oy anu
with advice of the senate. Mr.. Wilson takes
the ground that the act does not override the
treaty. and declines to put that clause OF 1t INTO
effect His position IN this matter appears to
he dafsnsible. and probably well advised AT
anv rate, there are presidents for 1t, and IN a
somewhat similar case President Hayes held
that the power Of modifying treaties Is not
lodged IN congress by the constitution but In the
