The Arbitration Treaty.
It must surprise the great mass Of
intelligent and patriotic American citi-
zens to learn that the Senate of the
United States is inclined to. hesitate
about approving the arbitration treaty
between the United States and Great
Britain, thathas been signed by the re-
presentatives of the two great poWers.
That the treaty meets with the next
to universal approval of the American
people connot be doubted by any who
have noted the expression of public
sentiment on the sul'ject. Every intelli-
gent English and American citizen
understands not only that there should
not be War between _two great civilized
governments of the world, but that war
between them is practically impossible.
Neither,could afford to give or maintain
provocation that would warrant war,
and neither could afl'ord to declare war
. if a peaceful solution of the issue were
possible.
It is intimated from such sources as'
to command respect that some Senators
are likely to be irfluenced by entirely
unworthy motives in opposing or hesi-
tating to approve the arbitration treaty.
There possibly are stone blind partisans
in the Republican party and silverites,
who areunwilling that the Cleveland
administration should have the credit
of accomplishing this. great advance in
the lists of peace between nations, and
there are possibly meaner partisan
Democrats whose factional bitterness
against there own Democratic Presi-
dent mpkes them ready to oppose the
treaty because its consummation would
be one of the great achievements lot his
administration and certain to make it
more honored in history,
‘As yet the opposition to the arbitra-
tion treaty seems confined to quibbles
which are unworthy of statesmanship.
it there is any serious defect in the
treaty it has not yet been presented,
but it finite and suggestive oljections
are presented looking to remote or
inconceivable possibilities solely, as an
excuse for failing to perform aplain
patriotic duty. Such action is unwor-
thy'of‘United States Senators, and if
the treaty shall be defeated by men
who may be justly criticised for defeat-
ing it on partisin or factional lines,
they must largely forfeit the public
eorfidence that has called them to their
high position. If there are tangible ob
irctions to the treaty let them be pre-
sented and let them be corrected or the
treaty defeated, but until such otjec-
rions shall be presented, there can be
no r xcuse for opposition to its approval
by the Senate.
We do not regard the treaty as neces-
sary to maintain peace between the-
Unlttd States and England. They are
not likely to go to war under any cir-
cumstances. They are recognized by
the world as the two most advanced
' governments of modern civilization.
Neither has any need to seek war, and
to b have every interest in maintaining
peace; but sucha treaty between the
two greatest governments of the world
would be but the beginning of like
treatiesbetween all great governments
to maintain peace by arbitration, and
Would thus practically assure the sub-
;»t.ntinl and enduring peace of the
ash :Le civilized world. Lioking to the
‘aenelicent results which must follow
-v,,r.h a. treaty, and considering that. it
cilihut possibly endanger any Ameri-
r6111 rights, the Senator who opposes it
must stand without excuse before his
‘ State, his country and the civilization
r-t‘ this eyeniug of the nineteenth cen-
t‘ury.

Experience is the Only True Test.
F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Of" .
lice, Salem, Ore, says: “Out of the scores of
cough medicines in the market there is only
one I have any confidence in and that is
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this
statement after an experience of twelve
years’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs
and colds it is splendid, but where its work
is infallible is with children subject to croup.
I keep it in my home at all times.”- For sale
