THE New Hampshire Republicans do not
purpose to tamely submit to any Louisiana
trick, that is evident. They have fair ma

Astounding revelations have been made of
Democratic frauds practiced at Manchester,
Portsmouth and Dover, and if justice be done
the number of Republican representatives
will be increased instead of being diminished.

FIVE classes of questions pertaining to in
ternational law reform are to be brought be-
fore the international conference at the
Hague in the coming September. Those of
the first class relate to the desirableness and
practicability of a proportionate reduction
in the armaments Of the European nations.
Those of the second class pertain to the prac-
ticabllity of general treaty binding nations
to the observance Of certain formalites and
delays before beginning any offensive war.
The third class of these questions has to do
with the practicability of establishing a
scheme of arbitration tor the settlement of
international disputes. The fourth class en-
braces questions pertaining to any progress
which has been made in any country since
the last meeting of the conference, towards
the reform and codifcaton of the law of ma
tions. The fifth class has to do with the
best method of preventing, so far as posi-
BILE, collisions at sea, and fixing the RESPONSE
bility on the culpable parties when such col
lisions occur.
