A SET-OFF FOR GENEVA. =
A Nice Little Bill Of S., 10000 to Paw
New York Evening Post.

The award of the fisheries commits
sion is, on the whole, satisfactory for
several reasons. First and fundament-
ally, because it ends a series of long
and bitter disputes with Canada and
Great Britain dating back as far as 1894,
and ends them by the honest judgment
of an arbitration which will be new
and wholesome precedent when other
international disputes are to be adjust
ed. The present court Of arbitration
was provided for under the treaty of
Washington, which also provided for
the similar court at Geneva, whereby
we were awarded SIS, 100000 in gold in
satisfaction of the Alabama claims.
Under that treaty mutual concessions
IN regard to fisheries and other matters,
on the part Of Canada and the United
States, were yielded; but inasmuch as
Canada asserted that the excess of adj
vantage In respect to the concessions
was on our side, the fisheries commits
sion was appointed to appraise Cana
da's claim. Looking at the case fairly,
there seems to be no doubt that her
claim was a legitimate one, and the
commissioners appraisal of it ought
not to disappOint us. 1t has not been
creditable to our government that it
was exceedingly. dilatory IN taking the
preliminary steps toward the constitu-
ton of the commission, and that mat
ter was dragged along for six years
which ought to have been settled in
much less time.
This award under the Geneva court
fn tho II1,ItoI Ctotoc
mentioned, 15,500,OOO in gold. Sub
tracing the fishery award the remainder
in our favor is $1O,00O,000, which may
be regarded as our apparent. net profits
under the treaty Of Washington. AS
there still remains in the United States
treasury sum of about $1,000, 900 after
the distribution Of awards to individu-
ais and corporations, the real net profits
of the nation, under the treaty of Wash
ingtOn, may be fixed, say, at So, 100000
Looking at the matter merely as bust
ness transaction, this is result of which
surely we have no right to complain.
The trial of the question at Halifax in
volved simple questions of fact and OBJ
servation which we have every reason
to infer the commission decided fairly,
and we ought now to emulate the hon
orable course of Great Britain in the
Alabama case by paying the bill with
out delay or higgling. We have only a
word to add and that is to say that
when so good an understanding with
our first cousins over the border can be
reached SO peaceably, it ought to en-
phasize the expedience Of measures
which will lead to cOmplete reciDrocity
between the two kindred nations.

The cheapest dining-room in the
city" is the claim placarded on a house
in Grand street, close to Clinton. The
restaurant is a plain room of moderate
size, furnished with common tables and
large sideboard. " We put cloths on
the tables when we opened, a week
ago." said the elderly woman who,
aided by her son, conducts the estab-
lishment, "but there was such rush
of boys, who were neither mannerly
nor neat, that we had to take
them off. We are fitting up another
room around the corner especially for
the boys, and when that is open we
shall reserve this place for adults"
Printed bills OF fare were scattered
about, giving the following prices: A
small cup of tea or coffee, with sugar
and milk, one cent; a cup of the or
binary size, two cents; slice of corned
beef, one cent; a baked or boiled 20
tato, 'one cent; cabbage. one cent;
baked beans, one cent; boiled Or fried
mush, one cent; oatmeal. one cent;
boiled rice, one cent; quarter Of a
pie, three cents. The quality Of all
these things is excellent, but the one
cent portions are small, yet a fair appe-
tite could be appeased for five cents,
and ravenous one for TO- Everything
is clean, and the cooking is good.
Who supports this charity?' was
asked of the woman yesterday.
charity p she exclaimed; why,
sir, this isn't charitable institution; it
is business enterprise, and I guess it
is going to pay. The margin for profit
is small, as you may imagine, but it
will be enough to live on If the crowds
come as they have been coming We
have to buy close, and waste nothing,
but by careful management there is
a profit on every cents worth we sell"
The newsboys entered noisily, seated
themselves at table, as party
demonstrative but unaccustomed fell
lows might in Delmonico's, and perused
the bill of fare One ordered corned
beef, beans, a cup of coffee, and crul-
Ter, at total cost of four cents. One
had large cup of coffee and quarter
of pie at the same cost. The third
more recklessly ordered cup Of coffee,
bread and butter beans, corned beef,
cruller, fried hominy, potato, and
doughnut, at an expenditure of eight
cents; but he became gorged before
the food was all eaten, and, in spite of
hard gulping, half of the doughnut and
a third of the potato was left.
Boys are our principal customers"
said the woman, land we have rush
of them about 5 or 6 o'clock; but at
breakfast and lunch times we have
good many workingmen and women.
Why, sir, at the rate we are. starting

Love and appreciation are to q
woman what dew and sunshine are
to the flower. They refresh and
brighten her whole life. They
make her stong-hearted and keen

her husband when the cares of lite
press heavily upon him, and to be q
very providence to her children.
To know. that her husband loves her
and is proud Of her, and believes
in her, that even her faults are
looked upon with tenderness; that
her face, to one at least, is the fair
est face in all the world that that
heart, which to her is the greatest
and noblest, holds her sacred in it's
