Feeble constitutions cannot be pyscked into health

TnunspAY novel tribunal was onened h

THURSDAY novel tribunal was opened in
New York, known as the Court of Arbitra-
ton. Its jurisdiction covers all controversies
or matters of dispute upon any mercantile or
commercial subject which may arise within
the port of New York and which the parties
to the controversy may desire to submit to
the court Any member of the chamber of
commerce having commercial controversy
may summon the opposite party before the
court, and the summons must be obeyed.
The decisions Of the judge, or arbitrator as he
is called, have the binding force of judicial
authority. Provision is made for rehearing
of cases, but no appeal is permitted. The
tribunal is organized to meet the many dis
putes which are incidental to the intricate
machinery of great commercial city, and
which require immediate settlement. The
want of such tribunal has long been felt,
and as far back as 1S4S the state ofNew York
established what were called 'courts of con-
Citation" but what were in reality commit
tees of arbitration selected by the commercial
societies of the city. As the decisions of these
courts had no binding authority the system
soon fell into disfavor.

The reputation theories so-prevalent in
Indiana call to recollection q little history
not at all creditable to that state. Nearly
forty years ago Indiana borrowed much
money for the purpose of internal improve
ments. 1t failed to pay the interest on the
money, and its creditors were left without
remedy for several years. In 1S47 an ar
rangement was made with the creditors CIV
ing them five per cent state bonds for one
half the principal of The debt, and two and a
half per cent bonds for one-half The accrued
interest. For the remainder of the debt and
interest the creditors were obliged to receive
canal scrip, the state covenanting to co no
act 10 impair the value of the canal property.
II is scarcely necessary TO say that the credi-
tors accepted this arrangement only because
they could do no better. In process of time,
and very short time too, the state char
tered railways traversing the very route of
the canal, and iDjuring its traffic TO such
degree that its earnings did not pay expenses.
The bondholders have repeatedly applied to
the state for redress, but always withou. sue
cess. The debt 10 them remains unpaid to
this day. So it appears that Indiana is not
at all unfamiliar with reputation.

IHE last monthly report of the Department
OF Agriculture brings to the attention of
wheat raiserS the value of a careful selection
OF seed. Observation shows that every fully
developed plant of wheat, oats or barley DOS
sesses one ear having more productive power
than the others. BY repeated careful selec-
tions Of these ears for seed the very best grain
can be raised. A regard to this truth of con-
tinuous selection has enabled prominent
English agficulturist to increase the length OF
the wheat ear in four years from 4s inches to
of inches,' and the number of grains from Al
to 1913.

In another column will be found an article
from the Ellsworth american on what the
Bangor Wing is pleased to call its ''contro-
versy' with the PRESS. The american,
whose article bears marks of the genial hui
NOR of distinguished gentleman of Hancock
county who relieves the asperities of law and
politics by occasional incursions into journal
ism, exactly apprehends the nature of the
controversy" which consists of solemn and
ponderous datrbes on the part of the Wing
which are simply laughed at by the PRESS,
and by about everybody else for that matter.
The American is entirely right in its assump-
tion that the PRESS will not behave unpretty
on the first Wednesday of January or at any
other time and that it will submit to what
ever the fates may have in store for it as
gracefully as possible. The difficulty with
the Wing is that it is utterly destitute of that
sense OF humor which is so essential to pro-
tect one from becoming ridiculous. It is pos
sible that, even after reading the Amertcan's
account of the affair, it may yet fail to see
that its own absurdity has led il into its pres
ent ludicrous and disagreeable position.
The war of the American artists in Italy
still goes on. Miss Hosmer's indignant let
ter and the denial made by Mr.. Connolly, in
stead of ending the discussion, as was antic-
ipated, appear to have prolonged and em-
FILTERED it. Mr.. Healy renews the attack
upon Messrs. Connolly and Mead, and brings
forward names, dates and contracts to SUBJ
stantiate his assertions that the monumental
work for the Lincoln memorial was designed
and executed by two Italian artists whom
Mr.. Mead paid for the job, and he gives their
afidavits in support of this assertion. Ger

versy, saying: "Tbat corruption of the pure
