The Arbitration Treaty.
The arbitration treaty, In Its limit
lorm as It uuultB tho vote whlih Is
to determine ltd ratification or injec
tion, Is u different Instrument from
thut which tame from the pens of Set
jetary Olney and Ambassador 1'aunte
fote. Oilglnully It was a Idt-open
provision for the arbitration of practi
cally all dllferonni'S tulslng during tho
eneulni; live liars, and subject to tho
decision of a standing ttlbunal in which
the Klmr of Not way and Swtden wan
to have the iletui mining sale. Now, it
provides for Herniate tiibunals for
each arbltiatlon, ri"eres to the sen
ate the light to pasi on the conditions
of each .ubltiatloir fllmlnatci from
arbitration except by special agi foment
all iiutstlonH of foiclgn and domestic
policy and the quetlon whether any

The punlso has alo been Insulted that,

bitration under this tittttj.
"Whether these chanses have been
wlsi or not Is a. matter ljigely foi the

insisted upon by senators whovo p.it

possible phase of the tieatl s useful
ness and significance. V hae felt,
with man nllurx, that the fcermte mav
ha" been unduly suspicious of con

on the other hand, the senat", of all
pi ices, l.s the place wheie the cleat est
conception may be gained of England's
piolmbfo liutuosijs, in a mattei of this
kind, it 1h puti.ient so to sa, in the
senate'H defens, that upon eeiy past
occasion when negotiation foi an pui

"Washington, the sleight -of-hand woiK

We have found In Washlngton.among
tho opponents or the Olney draft of the
aibltiatlon tie.itv, nut a eenso of antag
onism to aibltiatlon as a piinclple, but
only the conviction that in Its nuginal
foi m this Uvnty i "presented a new and
dangeiuus ti Unite to Unglaud'H super
ior astuteness This conviction pei-vade-x
the senate and Is generil among
tho foreign diplomatists who lew the
"issue with er.rious but impaitial ees
It is the htuall undisputed belief in
these iltcleu that the piinclple of ar
bitration would sustain In the end a
woise defeat in the latiflcatlou of such
a lieatv, undu 'hose tenns tl e United
States might be bound to odious conse
tiutm.es, than In Its utter lejectlon.
It is iiolnti il out that the falluie of
this one ins.lt ument cannot fatily lay
us opt 11 to the charge of Indlffeience
to eibltr.itlon, since we have alieady
made rcsoit to that principle time und
time again, but would latlier be Intel -
Dieted as a notification to foielgn pow
t'ls that an uibltiallon with us, to be
effective, must be fall.
' Such, we lepeat, is the manner in
which this question Is view id at the
capital We have heretofoie txpiessed
other views, and have held contrary
hopes, but a visit to Washington has
dispelled the latter und levealed condl
tlons moio plainly. The fact, In any
light. Is that if the arbitration treaty
i.s passed at all, it will bu ln Us ,)Iesent
lestilcted and dellmltfd form, und the
longer It Is considered the binaller
bt-ems the likelihood that It will not In
the end be i ejected.

Concerning Dogs.
A repiesentatlve farmei living In
Ablngton township addi esses to us the
following lettei "Is Repiesentatlve
Coiay trying to legislate In the interest
of dogs? If so, why? Can he and any
suppoiteis ho may have, be aware that
dogs have extet minuted tho sheep In
dustiy of this whole jeglon, time wns
when our sheep and those of our neigh
bors roved over all the rugged pastures
of iheso hill farms, but our flocks have
been mangled and slaughteied by dogs
to such a lulnous extent that raising
sheep has been given up, for this cause,
and no other. Sooner or later every
flock waa ravaged. I have seen fifteen
high made Routhdowns dead and dy
ing as the result of one night's amuse
ment of the dogs.
"The township Is supposed to pay a
nominal price for sheep bo destroyed,
anil this fund Is cieated from the dog
tax of each township. Can Mr. Coiay
propose to temove even this jnovlulou?
It la bo Inadequate already that owners
of destroyed sheep have been waiting
here, many of them, ten yenra for their
pay, with no tertnlnty of future set
tlement. Perhaps Mr. Coray's motive
ln abolishing the tax Is to make way
for a more immediate and ample
method of meeting these Just
tlalms. Hut having done this, let him
aboliBh tho dog also, at least In the
proportion of three out of every four.
Then we might resume sheep raising
nndllghten the poverty on the farms.
Incidentally, It may be remarked that
your town streets would be less malo
dorous, and all the children safer who
ulk therein." '
That Bheep-ralsem should be relm
bursed from some source for losses oc
casioned by vicious dogs Is self-cvl-dently
Just; and the prenent nrtangi
ment, although cumbersome, Is clearly
better than none. It Is the great nils
fortune of the canine family that It
has to suffer as a whole for the 111 do
ings of a compaiatlvcly small lnlnoilty.
AVe admlie and defend dogs as a class!
but of course there arc exceptions. 1'03

brought Into contact chlelly with tho

Faint Hope for Cuba.
All the information nt hand por
tends what ln spotting pat lance would
be termed a "draw" between Spain and
Cuba Hoth sides appear to be ex
hausted and neither has accomplished
positively pulllclent piogtess to Jea
potd the othtr's position. What ad
vantages can be peicelved nt tills dis
tance seem lather to rest with Sualn,
and if she had the means and the time,
it would no doubt pooh be all up with
the lebelllon Put she has neither the
one nor the otl.ei, and must be con
tent with an cccunation of the moie
easily foi titled towns, pending the ne
gotiation of n ptace of some kind.
Had tho United States, eltlict a year
ago or last Januniy, recognized tho
clllgerepcy of the insurgents, as It
was hoped by nine Ameiltans In every
ten that our gov eminent would do,
the scule wouRi unquestionably have
turred In Cuba's favor. Upon this
J 'iint the evidence does not admit of

Cleveland admlnlstiation diew near to
Its close, she, for political eftect un the

probably has not been in modem 'his
ton another Instance of Mie bully so
quickly changed by fear into the lick
spittle: and the vvoist of It remains to
be added In tho fact that to all appear
ances the volatile Ameilcan public has
been satisfied with this concession nnd
Is willing to let Cuba and the futuie
shift for themselves.
Under these chciimstances It Is vety
probably, In our opinion, that the Cu
ban leadeis will eventually make their
peace. They have done the best they
could: but neither they nor any other
set of patilots so clicuinscrlbed tould
hope to make successful battle for free
dom against the combined power of
Spain and the United States Tor as
the case now stands we me virtually
In alliance vvlth Spain; our navy Is at
Spaln'a servicu to prevent the Bhlp.
ment of Cuban supalles; and our na
tural sympathy as a people cannot find
practical vent without bringing us Into
legal conlllct with the powers that be.
It should be added that this Is a na
tural sequence of the refusal of con
gress to Insist upon Its demand for exe
mtlvo leoognltlon of Cuban belliger
ency; but whatever the causd may be
tho tact Is that we are now viitually
Iji Uaguo with Spain for the de facto
put tot of prolonging In Cuba a ov
erulgnty which has always lntioducd
olemenlH of dltcoid and danser Into
our dlplomncy and which, no long as It
shall rnduie, will constitute a repionch
upon tho hlstoiv of American Institutions.

Are not half as fragrant as the air laden atmosphere of our store at the
present time, caused by the sweet incense of Harrison's Sextuple Per
fumes that are now on exhibition with us. Their reputation for lasting
qualities is world-wide. A representative of the.firm will be here for a
few days to practically demonstrate their sterling qualities. He has an
endless number of testimonials from all of the leading dry goods stores
throughout the Uulted States, testifying to the sterling merits of this
splendid acquisition to every lady's boudoir, and then just think of the
low price for such a meritorious article what cost 69c. per oz. elsewhere,
no better, if as good, can be purchased here during this exhibition at
25 CENTS PER OUNCE.
Ladies,, upon entering the store, grant us permission to spray your hand
