Belgium is little more tnan colony
of England, created by her influence as a
separate State, and ruled over by fami-
ly closely connected with the British
Crown. The Fishery Commission re-
Gently awarded five and half millions
of dollars against the United States, the
American Minister protesting. The UNI
pire who made this award was Mr.. M.
Delfosse, the Belgian minister at Wash
ington, who has been seeking a transfer
to London, and perhaps took this meth
cd Of making himself acceptable.
This diplomatic arrangement is worthy
of the genius of our Department of State.
If two English COMMISSIONERS against
one on our side had been appointed, it
could hardly have been more pronounced
than to name one English Commissioner
and Belgian umpire. While appear
ances were preserved under a thin dis
guise of arbitration, the question was de-
cided adversely to the United States be-
fore the Commission ever met. 1t was
simply game of open and shut from
the start, thanks to our magnificent di-
plomacy.

RONALD, DON'T CALL IN THE MORN
ING.
Now, Ronald, you know that love you
You know that my promise is true;
And think there is nothing lore pleasant
Than leading the German with you.
But listen, I've something to whisper,
Be sure Ills no perilous warning,
Put your fears all to rest, It's a simple re-
quest.
Please, Ronald, don't call in the morn
ing.
Now, Ronald, don't wrlnkl lie your forehead,
And open your eyes like goose;
Don't try 10 look rueful or horrid;
My love, it will be of no use.
One can't arrange puff, braid, and ringlet,
With only half minutes warning,
And when deshabille one really can't say
One longs for call in the morning.
Besides, mamma thinks 1t Is silly.
And surely dear mamma must know
For she's been leader of fashion
These thirty odd seasons, or so.
Don't talk of simplicity, dearest;
What's beauty without some adorning?
One looks like fright after Idancing all
night,
so, Ronald, don't call In the morning.

A REBUKE TO coNGREssMEN.

WASHINGTON, December 5.-A caucus
of the Democrats in the House was held
today, at which severe rebuke wai
administered 10 some of the Democrats
who, by being unnecessarily absent. had
lost to the party some important votes,
the Senate amendments to the army bill
being among the number. The Senate
increased the army five thousand more
than the House bill, and when the bill
went back to the House it was carried
by only three votes. Wood and Morri-
son both spoke against the mlschievous
habit and said they were glad the news
papers had begun to notice the absen-
tees by name. Sayler, of Ohio, and
Douglas of Virginia, were among those
referred to, not, however, by name.

1t seems to us, from the
necessity Of the case, that Mr..
Hayes must base his hopes
chiefly on such an alliance.
His Southern policy as thus
far developed, and his order
to office-holders, has deprived
him of a very large part of
the Republican support which
Grant had. What is to make
up for this loss? There is no
source to which he can look
with any reasonable hope of
success, unless tits to be found
in a new combination of forces
in support of subsidies and
internal improvements. How
good the prospect Of that is
| we do not undertake to say,
| with confidence; but we do
not see what other plank there
is left for the sinking Mr.. h.
yes to lay hold on.

GLUE AS A CURE FOR CUTS.

A correspondent Of the Scientific
American writes as follows: "For
the last twelve or fourteen years I
have been employed in shop
where there are over three hundred
at work, and as is the case in all
shops of this kind, hardly a day
passes without o1c or moro OF US
cut or bruise our limbs. At first
there were but few who found their
way to my department to have their
wounds bound up, but after a while
it became generally known that a
rag glued On a flesh wound was
not only a speedy curative, but an
effectual protection against further
injury. 1 was obliged to keep a
supply of rags on hand to be ready
for any emergency. I will here
cite one among many of The cases
cured with glue: A man was run
ming a boring machine, with an
inch and O. quarter augur attached.
By some means the sleeve o. his
shirt caught in the augnr, bringing
his wrist in contact with the bit,
tearing the flesh among the muscles
in a frightful manner. He was
conducted to my department (the
pattern shop, and I washed the
wound in warm water, and glued
around it cloth, which when dry,
shruak into a rounded shape, hold
ing the wound tight and firm.
Once or twice a week, for three or
four weeks 1 dressed the wound
afresh, and it was well. The man
never lost an hours time in con-
sequence. Tue truth of this, hum
dreds can testify to. I use, OF
course, the best quality of glue.

A REAL ISSUE DEVELOPING.
CNeW York Sun.7

A first explosion Of light
ming calculated to purify the
political atmosphere has been
heard from New Hamsphire.
It comes in the shape Of a res
olution adopted by the House
Of Representatives of that
State condemning all appro-
priations by Congress for sub
sides and internal improve
ments. This is the first Tor
NAL step towards one of the
real living issues on which the
next Cong ress will be divided.
TO rebuild the waste places
left desolate by the war will
be the first cry, and a South
ern railway to the Pacific will
be asked for. AS an offset 10
this, the restoration the for
feited land grant to the N orth-
ern Pacific will be demanded,
coupled with additional gov
eminent aid to that vast and
visionary undertaking. Thus
we have in the very beginning
logsrolling scheme Of a most
comprehensive character.
The great question is wheth-
er by uniting the two projects
votes enough can be obtained
to carry them through. The
matter will be canvassed be-
forehand, and will very likely
be determined in the organl-
zation Of the House. The ad-
minlstration, it seems to be
pretty we'll understood, will
be in favor Of liberal appro-
priations. Can it gain votes
enough on this ground 10 place
q Republican Or Southern
Hayes Democrat in the
| Speakers chair?

THE NEW ERA.
PEACE IN LoU1sIANA-VIGoR OF TIL
NICHOLS GOVERNMENT.

The New Orleans correspondent
Of the New York World writes as
follows
I have just returned from a trip
through the interior of the State.
On my way home I passed through
the parish of West Feliciana, once
the home of the bulldozers. 1t was
the picture of peace. The fields
promise heavy yield Of cotton, as
the negroes are working better
than they have done since emanci>
patton. In fact, wonderful
change has come over these people
in the last ak months. They were
told that if the Democrats attained
power their first act would be to
re-enslave the negro. But Nich-
oils has peen in power for six
months, and no enslavement has
taken place. On the contrary,
the law is being most rigidly en-
forced, and their rights, lives and
property better protected thar they
ever were under Republican rule.
SLOWS this ?" they say; "the Dem
ocrats, who we were told were
going to sell US into slavery, are
hanging white men for killing ne
groes. Those Radicals have been
telling us lies"
I was told by several planters in
one Of the river parishes that their
negroes were building chicken
coops and dog-kennels besides fit
ting up their cabins something
they have not done since the war.
During the long period of Radical
supremacy they did not feel settled.
But now they have settled down to
stay-they feel that the law is
strong and will protect them, and
the banjo and the fiddle are brought
out once more from the corner,
where they have lain untouched for
twelve years or more.

It may be refreshing to those
journals who are so systematically
abusing Gov. Nichols to learn
that there is much evidence to be
had, that it didn't come within Gen
Sheridan's mission to gather, which
shows that vigorous steps are being
taken by the government of Louis
lana to crush out lawlessness and
vigorously punish crime.

PINCH ON THE PACIFIC,
The REPUBLICAN PARTY FALSE TO TIE
NEGRO.

Pinchback has been making him.
selfquite conspicuous in California.
The San Francisco Mail gives
resume of his barangues, from
which we extract the following, in
which there is much truth and GER
tainly just tribute to Gov. Mich
oils:
He said that there had been a
Republican party in the South. and
there is note there to-day. Pick
ing Pinchback out of his speech,
massing random sentences and dis
regarding long conversations be.
tween Mr.. 2. and other distin-
guished men. in which Mr.. P.
invariably propounded crushing
questions, and always had the best
Of the repartee, bis opinion of
things in the South is briefly this:
Ever since the war the political
division has not been between Re =
publicans and Democrats but be-
tween the whites and blacks. Tho
whites had the wealth, the education
and the intelligence, and were there
fore fitted to rule. The cavpet>bag
system had for some years created
and upheld an unnatural state of
society. Years ago he had seen
that this inverted structure must
tumble. It has done so, and he
was glad of it. TIE salvation OF
the blacks is breaking up the color
line. He was glad to see negroes
becoming Democrats. He wanted
to see them in every party. The
blacks would thus become blended
with the whites, and their interests
would be Identical. 1t would be
Obstructive of the power of any
nationally in this country should
they try to stand alone. Put the
Isish on one side ana let all the
Americans and voters Of other nat
ionalities vote against them, and
where would they be? Race or
ganization is destructive. Con-
corning the Nichols government
in Louisiana, Mr.. Pinchback spoke
in high terms, after scalping his enc
my Packard. Mr.. Nichols is a gen.
tleman. He is of the South and
knows the people, and it really
seems that under Democratic rule
Louisiana is to have peace at last.
Nichols does not ignore the color
ed race. He gives them a fair
share of the Offices and there is not
a parish in the State where there
are not from three to five colored
men upon the school board. 1t
might be said that the speaker was
acting oddly by thus praising a
Democrat, "but,7 said Mr.. Pinch
back, II would rather trust my in
terests, as a colored man, to the
bitterest Southern rebel than to au
adventurous, crafty, tricky carpet
bagger.'
This sentiment elicted the Wild
est applause and there rousing
! cheers from the audience.
! The Republican party had bro
ken faith with the colorcd race.
1t had used them and given little
| in return.

ership are coming to the front, and prom
inent among them is the distinguished
scholar and gentleman, Hon. Randall
Gibson of Louisiana. 1t is now conced-
ed that the Democrats will control the
