Anew proof. of friendship has been given by Great Brttain to the United States in the treaty by which it concedes to the latter the right to construct the Nicaragua or any other isthmian canal, It is only stipulated that all nations shall he treated alike and that the canal shall be neutral as between. bel- ligerents. Thus a most important provision of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty is set aside by the voluntary: action of Great Britain and a great obstacle is removed from the way of the enterprise on which «the American people have set their hearts. No equivalent is given for this valuable concession, Some might think that this friendly action would: stay the hand of the tail-twisters, but such a de- gree of honesty and common sense is hardly to be expected. The chief amusement of these gentry is to tickle, the ears of the’ groundlings and of those with whom prejudice takes, the place of opinion based’ on study of the facts and unbiased con- clusions therefrom. The noise they make is quite out of proportion-to their numbers. In this -respect, they recall the story of a man who was camped alone in the desert and yelping of a band of coyotes. He awoke and took his gun to drive them away,, but when he looked out in the moonlight, he saw. just two coyotes. So it is with the tail-twisters; they are noisy, hut they are few. - + The truth is that the great mass ot the American people have come to a realizing sense that there is as much real freedom under the British crown as under the American pres- ident and that the old animosities are out of date, leaving the way clear for the two most democratic nations on earth jointly to gratify the high aspirations which they share, moved by a common im- pulse. But old prejudices die hard, especially when they are kept alive by the. insidious arts of the dema- gogue, and itis necessary to be patient and not allow the mouthings of such fellows as Mason to mislead one as to the true sentiments of the cannot stand the page b an ‘age, when the ‘pages is. a common town of 5000 people or over has its modest daily..
