work is simple and not difficult to
perform. 1t is comprehended in the
words we have placed at the head Of
this article, "Get Out the Vote" If
you have carriage use it, and go
after those who live at a distance and
are not provided with means to get
to the pole, without a toilsome
walk. There are others who besides
living at a distance, are poor and can
scarcely spend the time necessary to
go to the polls, yet who are ANXIOUS
to vote. Use your carriage to bring
them to the polls. twill take but a
short portion Of your time, and if it
takes an entire day, you should
give it willingly. You have good
government and a measure of pros
peritv not witnessed before, and
you have no desire to see change.
A change would affect you more
than the slight labor required at
your hands to prevent a change.
Therefore, give the exertion asked
for, and your satisfaction at the re-
suit will be a rich compensation fol
the service. Give one day to your
country.

The San Juan Decision.

The Emperor William has pro-
nounced the final decision in the San
Juan boundary arbitration, affirming
the claim of the United States to the
canal De Haro as the channel desig-
mated by the treaty of 1854, and Civ
ing US the Island of San Juan with
the adjacent group. The dispatch
from Minister Bancroft to Secretary
Fish announcing that the Emperors
decree had been officially communi-
Gated, was, happily, received within
a few hours after the information of
the British court intrigue, and we
are at once relieved from all anxiety
lest the tricky diplomacy of Great
Britain should defeat the arbitration
and rob US of the verdict made up
in our favor. Minister Bancroft
says 'the Emperor, with the highest
sense of official duty, gave his per-
sonal attention to the subject" and
that his decision, "without diverging
in the least from the point presented
for arbitration, DEGREES that the
claim of the United States in most
in accordance with the true interpre-
tation of the treaty of June15, 1S46."
This result is a complete vindica-
ton ofour claim and of the course
Of our diplomacy on this question
for the last quarter of a century. The
occasion is one of the highest con-
