THE INTERNATIONAL IN SwITzERLAND.-For
a long time the Swiss republic has been the
favorite resort of political refugees. Royalists
and republicans alike have made it haven to
which they fed for shelter in time of trouble,
and were never disappointed in finding there
homes The Internationalists have, like others
who preceded them, made Geneva a place for
rendezvous. Here on a past occasion have
assembled representatives of all the European
nationalities at the Congress of the Interna-
tional, and at present there are numbers Of
this much dreaded organization in that city.
Germany, like other nations, perceives in
the influence which the International Society
creates among the working classes some dan
ger to monarchical institutions. If report
speaks truly Bismarck does not look favorably
upon this gathering of Internationalists al
Geneva, and has so informed the Swiss gov.
eminent. So far the Internationals have done
nothing In Geneva Of which Bismarck need
feel any way annoyed. The International
In Switzerland, however, are the source o.
ANNOYANCE to him, If nothing more, and his
hostility to them may serve as the cue to othe'
governments to follow his example.

SHOULD JUDGE DAVIS REsIGN?-The Ger
man organ in Cincinnati, the Volksbldh, calls
upon Judge Davis to resign his seat upon the
Supreme Bench in consequence of bis nomina-
tion by the Labor Reform Convention as their
candidate for the Presidency. The Cincinnati
Enquirer, democratic, suggests that he will
probably ''imitate the example of General
eral-in-Chief Of the Army of the United
States until he was elected President" But
circumstances may alter cases.

THE CONDITION OF OUR STREET CARS
We are glad to notice that the health authori-
ties are taking steps toward the Improvement
Of the sanitary condition of our city street cars.
This should have been done long ago, for
these cars, crowded as they are most of the
time with all sorts of people-the sick and the
we'll. the slame, the halt and the blind" the
clearly as we'll as the ilthy-are calculated to
breed disease as we'll as to spread contagion.
The reforms proposed are demanded by the
people and should be needed by all the COM
panies.

GERMAN ACCOMMODATION TO FRANoR.-
The German government has notified France
that the Emperor William will accept an
antcipatory payment of 4lo,Ooo,ooO francs
of the war indemnity, allowing discount of
five per cent off for cash. The French will
pay the amount Immediately, and thus save
twenty million francs. This is the true prn-
ciple of the science of finance; prompt
payments and the profits of honesty. France
will liberate herself from debt and begin
anew.

The Hawkins Mito-Whore shall IL GOV
The ten-dollar bill with which Brother
Dexter A. Hawkins endeavored on Sunday
last to purchase the favor of an employs OF the
HERALD, in order to secure for Zone OF the
most learned men of the American pulpit the
fame of HERALD report Of his sermon, still
remains unappropriated. The idea of bestow-
sadly shaken since correspondent has re-
called to our recollection their arraignment by
Brother Greeley as ga set of narrow minded
blockneads." We have no intention that the
Hawkins mite shall fall into the hands OF
bigots or simpletons Since 1t has left Haw-
kins' possession it shall have a different direc-
ton.
We publish to-day some applications that
have been received for Its appropriation One
suggests that 1t be donated to the sufferers
from investment in bubble sewing machine
company, who were induced by oily persua-
sions to buy stock in the concern at seventy
five cents per share. But the applicant
admits that the investors believed the shares
to be worth three dollars, and hence we must
regard them to have been as enterprising
if not as shrewd as Hawkins himself, and re-
ject their claim to the 'mlte." Another re-
quests that the Unite" may be applied to a
Sunday school at Morrisania; but Hawkins
might regard this as sectarian appropria-
ton. A poor teacher, who belongs ''to no
society of religious sects," wants the ten-dollar
bill for new boots, of which she stands sadly
in need. But should the unite" be appro-
priated to pair of neat, high-heeled CATERS, 1t
might, indeed, "fall on stony ground, especi-
ally if they should be used for Sunday prom
enade. A fourth correspondent speaks good
word for the Founding Hospital. This, GER
tainly, is not sectarian purpose; but the very
argument used in favor of the suggestion for
bids its acceptance. So we hold the "Haw-
kins mite" subject to the claim of really de-
serving object Perhaps the Rev. Dr. Clarke,
of Boston, can aid US in disposiug of it
worthily.

The Erie Ring and the Senate Judiciary
Committee.

The Eric Ring and the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
The arguments on Senator O'Brien's bill to
repeal the Erie Classification act and to
secure to the stockholders of the Erie Rail-
road fair election of directors are still being
heard by the Judiciary Committee of the
Senate The last feature of the discussion is
an attempt on the part of the counsel of the
Erie Ring to prove that the provision of the
proposed law requiring the transfer books of
the company to be deposited with trust
company for certain time before the day
of election of directors is in conflict with the
constitution. These weak and trivial resorts
of the ''Ring" to postpone action on the Repeal
bill as long as possible should no longer be
permitted by the committee. Indeed, the
members of the committee are subjecting
themselves to grave suspicious by the singular
manner in which their report is delayed. No
person will believe that they can
need any arguments to convince them
of the propriety Of repeating the CLASH
fication act and providing for fair election
of directors of the Erie Railroad, and, these
main points being admitted, the mere details
of the bill can be well left to the committee of
the whole Senate. The members of the Judi
ciary Committee may as well understand at
once that the people will hold them to strict
accountability for their action in this matter.
They have already given too much time to
the advocates of the 'Ring" to plead their
case, and it is very well understood that the
object of the opponents of the bill is to drive 1t
defeat. Unless tho committee is waiting for q
kind of argument with the use of which the
present managers of Erie are familiar, the
discussion will at once be closed and the bill
reported to the Senate.

for wounded honor" for the reason that
the very payment Of such damages
on the part of England would be in fact an
admission Of the injustice of her past conduct
aud an apology for the wrong she has done
us. The money itself has never entered into
the consideration of the government or of the
people in making and sanctioning the treaty
settlement now held in allegiance. In claiming
the right to lay before the Geneva Conference
our claim to consequential damages we in
fact maintain our right to arraign England
before that tribunal for the commits
sion of acts unfriendly and injurious
to the United States. Should the Geneva
Conference maintain Englands liability we
should be willing to make her present of the
damages, satisfied with the recovery of YER
dict against her for her past misdeeds. We
regard the Treaty of Washington as more
dignified and better becoming the honor
and self-respect of the United States than the
dinner table treaty of Reverdy Johnson, on
this very account that while the latter was
mere shopkeepers balance sheet, the former
submits to arbitration the whole conduct OF
England during our rebellion and leaves the
judgment in the hands of impartial men.
But Mr.. Seward gives us one piece Of con-
ISOLATION There will be no war between Eng
land and the United States. or that he Is
certain. The treaty will fail, and the Ala
bama claims will remain open, for the reason
that the passions and prejudces grow
ing out of the questions they in
volve are not yet sufficiently allayed to
admit of friendly settlement at the present
time. We agree with Mr.. Seward in the pre-
diction that the peace of the two nations will
not be disturbed for 80 far as the people of
the United States are concerned they are in
different about the fate of the Treaty of WASH
ington and are satisfied to allow their claims
against so solvent debtor as England to re-
main on their books. But we maintain that
on our part we are as ready to make friendly
settlement now as we are ever likely to be,
and if passion and prejudice stand in the way
of the final wipng away of our past diff
ferences with the English nation they must
be the product of the English heart alone
We have made the Treaty Of Washington in
good faith and in brotherly spirit. Upon
that we stand. If England shall be rash
enough to tear the parchment to pieces with
her will rest the blame and the responsibility.

THE CAPTURE OF SAN LUIS Pc Tosr by the
revolutionists is reported by our special de-
spatch from Matamoros, based upon intelli-
gence received by way Of Tampico. II the re-
port can be depended upon General Rocha, the
best military leader Of the Juarez government,
who had about four thousand men under his
command, has either surrendered or abandoned
the city to the revolutionists under Treviho.
President Juarez has of late sustained many
defeats, but the fall of San Luis Potosi is
the most fatal and disastrous blow
to his power He has no forces to cope with
the overwhelming numbers Of the revolutionists
under Treviho, who is now free to carry out
his threatened march on the city Of Mexico.
While affairs in the interior of the SISTER re-
public are taking a more uncertain turn than
ever there comes a report from Brownsville
that the Texan stock raisers have been goaded
to despair by the depredations of Mexican
desperadoes, and threaten reprisals by carry
ing the war into Africa"-committing depreda-
lions in return on the inhabitants OF Mexican
territory. Truly most unsatisfactory state
of afalrs this Of Mexico.

The Commercial Policy and Tariff Dinls
culties Of France.
The European Powers which have CONNER.
cial treaties with France are about to forward
to Versailles joint protest against the passage
of any French parliamentary measure impos-
ing tax on articles of raw material to be
used In manufacture. This statement reaches
us from London and Paris by cable telegram.
England and Belgium are the Powers which
will be affected directly, Immediately and
unproftably, should the government of the
French republic be enabled to carry out sue
cessfully its idea Of return to or towards the
protectionist tariff system of the country as it
presented previous to the negotiation of the
Cobden-B onaparte treaty of trade. England
may demonstrate, or, with her sympathizing
friends in Belgium and elsewhere, protest.
Should she do so her action will initiate
period of uneasy difficulty for President
Theirs. The French people are vastly divided
in opinion on the subject of commercial tariff
dues and for the necessity of nice discrimi-
nation on the part of the Versailles legislators
in imposing them. These facts were made
patent during the recent debate which occurred
in the Assembly on the question of the adOp-
ton of committee report in favor of ''renun-
citation" of the treaties if they were not modi-
fed. An official correspondence has taken
place between the English Foreign Office and
the French Minister, Remusat, on the subject.

Assemblyman Hustled and the Erie CLASSIC
fcation Act.
Assemblyman Hustled hastens to assure the
HERALD that his bill for the repeal of the Erie
Classification act has been introduced in good
faith, and that he is opposed to the Classifica-
ton law and voted originally against its pas
sage. He appears to be aware that the
repeal of the act without provision
for a fair election of directors, based
upon the bona fde ownership of stock, would
be simply playing into the hands of Gould,
Lane and their associates, and he states that
it is his intention, when his bill shall be re-
ported to the House, to perfect it in Commit
tee of the Whole. We are willing to accept
Mr. Husted's explanation and to give him
credit for honesty of purpose; but
he is good parliamentarian, and
knows that the accumulation of bills
of a similar character only serves to embar-
rass and delay legislation. Now, bill for the
repeal of Classification and for the election Of
directors of the Erie road under effective
regulations-the bill long since committed to
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate-has
already been introduced in the Assembly
and referred TO the Railroad Committee of
that body Will Mr.. Hustled unite with
others who are faithful to their reform
pledges In requiring speedy report of
xkok Frnu, fho Ia a
that this action will be more likely to effect
the object he has at heart than the course he
now proposes to pursue. Let us have no
unnecessary delay in the committees report
and let Mr.. Hustled direct his well-known
earnestness and ability to the exposure Of any
improper influences that may be at work to
| induce the committee to hold back the bill.

giving Services In Berlin.

giving Services in Berlin.
In addition to our exhaustive exhibit Of the
thanksgiving services of yesterday, in connec-
ton with the restoration to health of the
Prince of Wales, we are pleased to notice the
attention which was paid to the event in Ber-
lin. The English church at Berlin has always
been conspicuous among the chapels con-
nected with the foreign embassies. Some Of
the best men in the English Church have
been pleased to spend few years in Berlin
before finally settling down at home. The
services, of course, are always good, and the
sermon is never below par. On Tuesday, it is
gratifying to know, the Emperor William
and all the members of the royal family now
in Berlin, together with all the Foreign Min
listers, attended divine service and publicly
thanked God for the recovery Of the Prince of
Wales. Life is sweet to oil, to Prince as to
peasant. In the life Of this young man the
whole world has taken most loving interest.
Let us hope that the facts Of the future will
justify the kindly sympathy which in 1912
was extended to Albert Edward Prince of
Wales. No prince in all the past has been so
forgiven and 80 encouraged. If his future is
failure it is reasonable to conclude that the
fault will be his own.

The House Where We WeTe
Wed.

I've been to the old farmhouse, good wife,
Where YOU and were wed;
Where the love was born to our two hearts
That now is cold ID dead;
Where "A long kept secret to yOu told,
In the heams of the yellow moon.
And we forged our VOWS out OF loves own
gold
To be broken SO soon, SO soon wife;
To be broken so soon, so soon.
passed through all the old rooms good wife;
/ wandered on and on
followed the steps of a tiittering ghost
The ghost of love that is gone.
He led me out on the vine-wreathed porch,
Where with myrtles twined your hair;
He sat me down on the old stone ep,
And he left me musing there, wife,
He left me musing there.
The snn went down as it used to do,
And sunk in the sea of night;
The two bright stars that we called ours
Came slowly unto my sight;
But the one that was mine went under a
cloud,
Went under n cloud alone.
And tear that wouldn't have shed Tor the
world,
Fell down on the old gray stone, wife,
Fell down on the old gray stone.
But there he words can ne'er he unsaid,
And deeds can ne'er be undone,
Except, perhaps, in another world,
When our life's once more begun;
And NAV be some time in the time to come,
When the days and years are sped;
Well love again we used 70 love,
In the house where we were wed, wife,
In the house where we were wed.
