LETTER.
On-
Washington. D. V., Dec. 17th.
No administration has ever re-
a more defeat
at Um hands of a Senate
ed by a majority of Its own party,
than has boon administered to
present one by the amendments
added to the treaty
within the last few days. Instead of
cringing; to England, as the treaty
originally by Lord
and accepted by Secretary
Hay and Mr. did, and
begging the consent of England
and all the other European powers
to our constructing the Nicaragua
with oar own money and
then giving to all other countries
equal rights therein with us,
amended treaty serves notice on
England that the
treaty is thereby abrogated; that
we are to dig the canal and
control protect it our own
way without asking consent of
power in the world. In
short, when the Senate ratifies that
treaty it will be a thoroughly
American document, the public
sentiment of the country has from
the first demanded that it should
be. When these amendments
were first talked about, the
indulged
concerning the
fight the would
make to have the treaty ratified
without amendment. When the
time came for a down did
the administration Not
van tiniest little bit. On the
contrary; Mr. even gave
his consent to amendment
promised to forward the treaty to
England after its ratification, but
he told the Senators who went to
inform him that the amendments
would be added whether he liked
them or not that he was afraid
that England would never, never
accept treaty, that
Hay was positively certain it
would not. But that doesn't seem
to be worrying the Senators. They
if England rejects treaty as
amended, Congress will adopt a
revolution declaring th Clayton
treaty abrogated, and that
the construction of the Canal will
go right along just the same as
though England had accepted the
treaty.
The republicans of the Ways
mid Means Committee received two
defeats while the House was sitting
as a committee of the whole to con-
sider amendments to the Revenue
Reduction Bill. The House by a
vote of to defeated the Com-
amendment, abolishing one
sixth and one-eight beer on
the ground that it was a
against the small brewers of the
and by a vote of to
adopted an amendment, pro-
posed by Representative H. C.
Smith, of Mich., requiring all
railroad and express companies to
make sworn statements monthly of
their business and to pay one cent
tax for each bill of and re-
issued. Latter the Commit-
tee assisted by Senator of
N. Y., who is president of one
the big express companies, rallied
its forces and got the latter amend-
struck out just lie lore
final vote was taken
bill.
From being the of the
House to being unknown to a
of the House is quite a plunge
for a man to take inside of two
years, but the drop has been made
by Hon. Thomas Reed,
whose law practice now includes a
a little Congressional lobbying.

desire is to remember every-
body that we know. But
means do not generally allow us to
do it. So we often pass entirely
by at Christmas people to whom a
simple, Merry Christmas, and
more, would mean a world
of cheer and
Because we cannot give what we
would like to we think that we
should at all. The truth
is. whether we choose to
edge it in so many words or not,
that we have grown so commercial-
and so mined in this
country that thousands of us are
prone to our Christmas
presents by the yardstick of in-
value, or by what the
recipients will them. We
seem to have entirely lost sight of
the fact that we can always give
something. And i we gave that
something we would really come
closer to real spirit Christ-
mas giving. A few cheerful words
filled with that expression of
strong good will, that is like sweet
perfume, have a meaning that only
a few realize. There- is nothing so
pleasant this world as the feel-
that one is remembered, and this a
few written words will often con-
more strongly than a gift. Yet
we invariably put the gilt first.
Our remembrance must take some
form, we think, other than a mere
verbal or written expression. And
that is the artificial within us;
natural. We seem to refuse
to believe that it la the simplest
things do that have the great
eat Influence. It is simplest
Christmas that remains.

would be well, therefore, for those

by State and county has reached

absolutely impossible to levy and
