nEuRING SEA CONTROVERSY.

Brilliant as are the intellectual powers Of
Mr.. Blaine, able, acute, plausible, full Of
resources as he is, he cannot be considered
safe leader in emergencies in which posi-
tions have 10 be taken that involve the
maintenance OF peace or rupture with
foreigD nations. II will be remembered
that II was only IA change in the secretary
ship of State, then occupied by him, upon the
elevation Of Arthur 20 the Presidency, that
rescued the United states from war with
Chill. While Mr.. Blaine has shown great
controversial ability in his recent CORE
spOndence with Lord Salisbury, with refer
ence to the Behring Sea seal fisheries, his
arguments have all along been leading up
10 apoint where the matter in dispute can
only be- decided by war i'm case arbitration
il not employed as a method Of reaching a
tnal agreement.
But for hasty orders recently dispatched
20 our revenue cutters In Behring sea,
there would have been before this an ac-
tual conflict Of arms which might have so
irritated the tempers Of both nations that
they would have been reluctant 10 have
had 10 recourse 10 any deliberatiye means
Of settlement. 1t is TO this condition that
the relations OF the United States and
Great Britain have been brought by Mr..
Blaine's determination 10 score at all haz-
ards victory for American diplomacy, all
the more brilliant, II the precedents really
sustained the English position in the prem
ises. This is what the precedents really
seem 10 do. All the rights which our cOun-
try have in the BebrIng Sea were derived from
the purchase Of Alaska from Russia. In 1924
Russia especially disclaimed in conyen-
ton with the United States, and in 1875
with England, the right TO consider Behrng
Sea mare clausum, and this step was
taken upon "a vigorous protest from these
two nations in opposition 10 the assertion
which Russia bad advanced, and had even
gone 80 far as 10 act upon.
This disclaimer had never been ignored
by Russia up % the time Of the cession 10

Costly Glass of Beer.

\ thousand francs for one glass OF beer Is
a compensation says the Scotsman
which the most sangulne OF the publican
supporters of Lord Salisbury hardly expects
to get. 1t seems. however, from the report
of a case in one Of the Brussels Courts, that
thirsty Belgian recently paid thus prodig-
Ously in one of the cafes Of that city. After
drinking book" he found that he had no
smaller sum Of money in his pocket than a
thousand franc note which he handed to
the waiter with polite apology, and asked
him TO exchange il. The waiter ran out of
the cafe TO get the change, but he never
returned. 1t was an opportunity which
the providence of Bacchus was not
likely 10 offer him second time in
his life, and he resolved not 10 dcspise such
providence. After waiting long while
for the return Of the man with the change,
the guest asked the landlord 10 pay him the
balance, as he wished to go about his bust
ness. The landlord lectured him for his
imprudence in trusting so large sum TO a
man of whom he knew nothing, and de-
clned 10 admit his responsibility for the
payment OF the change. 80 the guest prose
cuted the landlord. The judge not only re-
peated the defendants lecture TO the plain
I'D, but obliged the plaintiff to pay the costs
of the action.

m,RIN CENTRAL AMEKICA.

The instructions and international wars
noyy I'm progress in Latin America would go
TO show that. for the present, at least there
are certain questions which the inhabitants
Of This portion Of the Western Hemisphere
can only settle by an actual recourse TO
arms. The disturbance now prevailing III
the Argentine Confederation has its origin
in a financial panic, and is, therefore, OF Il
more or less common place character. III is
not likely to leave any general impression
upon the history Of that country beyond a
mere change of administration with re-
sulting revolution in the financial manage
ment of the Republic.
The conflict which has arayed Guatema-
IA and Salvador in Central America against
each other, promises to have wider conse-
quences. for it will very probably draw ali
the Central American republics into its
vortex before either side is fully exhausted.
The causes which led to the present fighting
must be looked for in those rivalries which
have done so much to set these republics by
the ears in the past, and which shall only
be- suppressed when some disciple of Bar
rios shall rise to carry out the dream OF
that great man, now unfortunately dead,
bv bringing the whole group Of Central
American states into a federal system,
modelled in imitation Of the Constitution OF
the United states OF Brazil, upon the Con-
stitution of the United states of America.
1t would appear to be the inevitable des-
tiny of these states that they will at no very
distant day in the future become one strong
compact Commonwealth, resting upon the
divisions now recognized as independent
republics. All who desire TO see these re-
publics rescued from the wars with each
other. into which they are constantly being
plunged. will nourish the hope tbata federal
union will soon Doe formed 10 be consistently
and pcaccably maintained. 1t is probable
that this union will not ne reached until
Guatemala, the most powerful and active of
the Central American states, has brought
all of its companion republics under its
yoke by the force of arms. But even if the
union is to De attained only by the employ
mcnt of such summary methods it is better
that il shall De won in this way than not To
be won at all, lorupon twill turn the devel-
opment of Central America in all the higher
stages Of civilization.

No persons in the southern states are
more firmly opposed to the passage Of the
Election bill than intelligent Republicans
who are engaged in the development of
southern resources. \ meeting was held
at Birmingham, Alabama, few days ago,
which was composed Of the leading Repub-
lican residents Of that prosperous city, a
very large proportion of whom were capt.
talists who had removed from the North.
and a very earnest protest was offered
against the enactment of the Election bill
first. on the ground that it was plainly I'M
constitutional, because il transferred the
controlling power from the people to the
executive and judiciary; secondly, that it
created a vast number Of new ofiicehOlders,
which would entail an enormous expense on
the governments thirdly, that its principal
effect would be TO bind the white people Of
the South more and more closely together;
fourthly, that it would intensity race and
sectional prejudice TO the detriment Of the
business interests Of all parties and sec
tons: filthy, that it would seriously Oh
struct the industrial progress Of the South;
and, finally, that the measure was directly
contrary to the wishes Of the most innuen-
tial Republicans in the south.
