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. Mr. Reed was just coming of the when Representative Indiana, one of doorkeepers, who that fat man was. such is fame. Real Spirit of lag. hearts are usually very much larger at Christmas than our Edward of Christmas that in the December Home Journal. 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.

While the people are slow in clamoring for re. forms, they arc quick to kick against any in taxation and if the legislature can get through its work without having given to a large part of our population it will have performed a Herald. The next will spend more money than any previous Legislature, if it complies with all demands for appropriations that are being made. And nearly- all these demands seem proper and For there is a very- general demand that more money shall be appropriated to the public also an absolute necessity for additional to our insane asylums. and humanity demand that more money be expended for support of disabled ex-Confederate soldiers. And among other de- for appropriations are the Reformatory for criminals and a Code Commission both of which demands seem proper. And there are others. It will thus lie seen that the next Legislature will be called upon to increase the public expenditures several hundred thousand dollars.

But how can they, or any of them, be This is the question to lie answered, and the perplexing problem to be solved by our next law-makers. It is very easy to make suggestions us to how the State's money shall lie expended, but it is not so easy to suggest how that money shall be collected It would be well, therefore, for those persons, who are suggesting how to spend the State's money, to also how to raise it. The rate of taxation levied by State and county has reached the constitutional limit, it is absolutely impossible to levy and collect any more taxes without find other subjects of taxation properly those already taxed.
