The United States Senate has passed a
resolution requesting the President to in
vito any foreign nation with which diplo-
matte disputes may arise to settle the
same by arbitration, instead of war.
There seems, to the Washington Star,
''to be no particular use for this resou-
tion at the present time, but it shows the
pcaccablc disposition of our Government
and was doubtless passed with view
of promoting arbitration in the fu-
ture. When great ships costing with
their armaments s5,OO0,O00 shall meet
on the ocean and in five minutes sink
each other with all on board, when forts
can be demolished with dynamite shells,
when cities can be burned from dis
tance of ten or twelve miles, when armies
in the field can annihilatc each other with
long range rifles and smokeless powder
and the many rapid fire guns now in use,
it is time to stop talking of war and find
some means of adjusting international
differences that will not be equally ex.

The public debt that the French

The public debt that the French Gov
ernment has been piling up since the war
would be crushing to most nations, yet
the people appear to bear up under it
with more or less resignation. Three
years ago the public debt Of France
amounted to twelve hundred and forty
millions of pounds stcrllng-in our cur
rency six thousand two hundred millions
of dollars. The public debt of RLssia,
which is the next heaviest, was the same
year but about three thousand six hun
dred millions Of dollars, while that of
England was little over three thousand
five hundred millions of dollars. The
expenditures OF France have been in
creasing in the same proportion, while
the revenue receipts have relatively de-
clined. In 1876 the total expenses were
five hundred millions of dollars, but IN
1890 the expenses for the year are put at
seven hundred millions of dollars and the
revenue at six hundred millions of
dollars, leaving deficit of one hundred
millions.

The recent announcement that the
Federal Government printing office Is en-,
gagged in printing 20, 900, 900 population
schedules lor the use of the census bu-
rcau gives but faint idea of the cnor-
mous amount Of printing required for the
enumeration to take place in June. sta
tioncry Clerk KetCham estimates that the
stationery already ordered would fill Il
room three blocks long, thirty feet high,
and forty feet wide. In addition to the
population schedules now being printed,
10000, 600 more have been ordered This
will require 200 tons of paper, which
was delivered at the rate of 30, 900
pounds Il day. Twenty million blanks
for statements Of recorded Indebtedness
will be required, 1000, 600 or 5000, 900
manufacturers schedules, and 1000, 900
agricultural schedules. These blanks are
all about 9x1l inches in size. Six hun.
drcd different kinds Of circulars have al
ready been printed, the average number
of copies of each being about 20, 600, or
in round Numbers 10000 600 miscella.
ncous forms. Besides the printed mat
ter, millions Of sheets of other paper are
needed, one single order being for 100,
600, 900 blank cards for the use of the
electrical tabuating machine. BY the
use Of this machine it is thought that a
saving of three fOurths of the expense of
computing the returns received from the
supervisors and cDumelators will be
saved. A part Of this stationery will be
sent through the mails, and for that pur
pose rs, 900, 600 free delivery envelopes
have been ordered. These figures give,
Mr.. Ketchom says, only the amount of
preliminary printing ordered. When
the census is being taken and the returns
are being computed much additional
printed matter will be used, and the
printed census records will consume more
paper than is required, both TO get ready
for and take the census.

"Thc Emperor of Germany has his
faults, but, the London Figaro declares,
"his resolution to put down the practice
of dueling merits tn" warmest praise.
Of course there is really no difference
between the duclst and the murderer,
except that the former more frequently
Kills in cold blood But it has taken
people good many centuries to learn
even this elementary truth, and in Ger
many, which is not the least enlightened
of nations, it has been difficult to drive
the fact home. The dulcst man in the
Fatherland understands, however, what
cashieriug an officer means, and it may
safely be concluded that the punishment
which the Emperor proposes to intlict
upon the challenger will have the effect
of stamping out the due!ists in the Ger
man Army"

The inventive genius of this country
seems never to sleep, The two latest
ideas apply to the decoration of walls,
One stamps out great sheets of metal,
which can be either polished, hammered
or grained, and which, according to the
customers fancy, may be made to rcsem,
bic copper, bronze, red gold, silver or
brass. 1t is fire proof, water proof in
sect and rat proof. The other makes a
wall covering of FURNISHED and faccted
steel. The metal is ono of the new iron
alloys, and neither rusts nor diScolors.
One form is almost perfect lacework,
while another resembles the Milanesc ar.

has recommended electricity instead of
hanging as a proper mode of execution.
This is explained by the fact that an

is thrown off a ladder and allowed to

Southern California editor, are now in-
dulI,ng as being largely rubbish In
the opinion Of that paper "a two-thirds
majority Of the Legislature can never
be secured for such project, because
most of the wealth and influence is in the
northern aud central countries, and the
representative men OF these sections
would no more consent to split up Cal.
ilornia thnn New Workers would agree
to the division of their State. Sectional
jealousy exists, but it is largely duc to
the fact that the northern and oontral
counties have shown that they can pro.
ducc good orange, and lemons, whereas
the southern countries claim Il MONOPOLY
in raising citrus fruits"

The criminal classes bear the highest
proportion to the population in Italy
From statistics recently published in that
country, it would appear that murders
are committed in Italy three times often
c7 than in Austria, four times oftcncr
than in Prussia, five times oftcncr than
in Sweden, fourteen times oftcncr than
in Denmark, and sixteen times oftencr
than in Great Britlin aud Ireland.
Crime has also unfortunately been in
crcasing instead OF decreasing in Italy of
late years. OF the foreign countries
which stand fayorably in comparison of
the criminal classes with the population
may b" mentioned: Russia. where they
number - in each 10000; Portugal, l6
per 10000; Norway, II per 10000,
while Sweden appear, to be very law
abiding country, the persons convicted
in 1885 being only per 10000 Of the
population.
