Washington. It stated that the modifi-
cations which Lord Salisbury suggests
in the questions for arbitration do not
wholly meet the views Of the president,
and changes the text in such a manner
as will probably result in an agreement
between the two governments. In the
event of the question of damages by rea-
son of the alleged seizure of English
poaching vessels going to arbitration, it
is suggested that it shall also be the
duty of the arbitrators, if they should
find those seizures to have been illegal,
to assess the damages resulting from the
unlawful killing of seals and taking Of
skins by Canadian poachers.
Mr.. Blaine made a unique and ap-
parently strong point against the claims
of Great Britain by showing that she
has attempted by act of parliament to
control body Of water situated beyond
the northeastern section of Scotland
2,700 square miles in extent, and to direct
that certain methods of fishing shall not
be used within that area under pre-
scribed penalty, the inhibition applying
not only to British subjects, but against
"any person" If, contends Mr.. Blaine,
Great Britain may thus control an area
of 2,7O0 square miles of ocean on the
coast of Scotland, why may not the
United States prescribe a space around
the Pribyloff islands in which similar
prohibitions may be enforced?
This is a very pertinent question on its
face, and great curiosity exists as to
what answer her majesty's government
can make to it.

The Czarina,s Costly Gowns.

The Russian nihilists will probably
find new excuse for activity in the fact
that the czarina has ordered from Paris
q collection of dresses valued in the ag-
gregate at an enormous sum-"enough,"
says one agitator, ''to pay for the labor
of 1000 men for year." One gown of
pale gray cloth, embroidered with silver
wheat ears, has only just been finished,
owing to the length of time required for
the rich embroidery that ornaments the
skirt to the knee, the corsage, and full
high sleeves. A tennis gown is of white
serge, embroidered with fine navy blue
braid, a round belt Of embroidery finish
ing the waist. "A robe of dark blue satin
foulard is sprinkled with rose colored
primroses and trimmed en- baldaquin
round the hem. The corsage has drap-
ing of pink embroidered chiffon from
neck to waist. A cloak of pale sea green
silk is edged all round with ostrich trim
ming and turned back from hem to hem,
with broad revers richly embroidered

Testing "a Trunk.

A slim faced man with graveyard
cough was inspecting some trunks in front
of Grand street store yesterday, when
the proprietor of the store appeared and
asked:
Looking for a trunk, sir?"
"Yes."
"Here's the best four dollar trunk ever
made, and Pm the only one that sells 'em
at less than five dollars"
"No good" replied the pale faced man,
with n sorrowful shake of the head Zone
of these trunks wouldn't stand the jour
ney from here to Poughkeepsie"
"What PLl warrant 'em to go around
the world Take hold of one and bang it
about and convince yourself'
'Do you give me leave to wrassle with
one?"
"Of course do! Take right hold"
The man with the graveyard cough drew
in full breath, called out: "Sche-neck-
ta-day," as if warning a carload of passen-
gers, and then reached for the trunk.
"Ripp went one of the handles; "r-i-pl'
went the other, and as he stood it on end
and upset it and Topped it back again one
hinge busted loose and the cover split in
two. With twist of the wrist he gave it
a slam bang which completed the wreck,
and with "a bow to the trunkman he joined
the crowd and disappeared.

1858, but having lived in the United

In 1882 he became editor of the Oil
City Derrick, which had at one time a
great reputation for its humorous
sketches. Siviter's contributions to that
paper were widely quoted. In 1885 he
left Oil City and has lived in Pittsburg
ever since. In 1886 he married Miss
Pierpont, daughter of Hon. F. Fl. Pier

his afternoons are enlivened by the an

HOW TO Cure the Croun.

Mrs. Samuel Mutt, of South Haven,
Kansas, tells how she saved the life of
her boy.
ST have been using ALLCocK's Porous
PLAsTERs for the last ten years, prin-
cipally for weak back. Not long ago /
found my son very much inclined to
Group. He had bad croupy cough, and
a wheeling sound in his lungs every time
he breathed. He nearly died from the
obstruction of the throat. / covered him
from the throat to the pit of the stomach
with ALLCoCK's Porous PLAsTERs. In
two hours the cough ceased and his
breathing was much easier. In a few
days he was entirely well. / kept the
ALLCocK's Porous PLAsTERs on him six
days. Since then, whenever he is affected
with colds in the throat, I never use any
thing but an ALLCoCK's Porous PLAs-
TER, which cures him Immediately, with
out any inconvenience. They are the best
preventive of the Group ever known, and
l would not be without them for any con-
Sideration,"
The record-union., 1891-12-16
THE GERRYMANDER.

The President in his message has called
attention to the danger threatening the
Union in the practice of the ''gerryman-
der.' It is on the programme of certain
politicians because it is the only means
by which they can defeat the reform bal
lot system. Under the new census some
$50 Congressional districts are to be
formed, and several thousand legislative,
judicial and other districts must be rear
ranged.
In Michigan only has there been ac-
complished any gerrymander that will
seriously touch the choice of Presidential
electors. The Republicans, being the
administration party, have the affirma-
tive in opening the campaign of 1892.
They may be counted upon to pronounce
emphatically against the Michigan ger
rymander. The Democratic party will
thus be put to it to speak in its national
platform on that subject. If it declines,
however, or evades it by generalization,
en- issue will be joined that has not before
gone to the people in a Presidential cleo
ton. If it follows and denounces the
Michigan system it will still be left open
for the party in the States to act as it
pleases.
But if the demand is made for amend
ment of the Constitution so as to require
uniform system to be adopted in choos-
ing electors, the Democracy win prob
ably refuse to indorse it as invasion of
reserved right, and the issue will thus
enter the campaign of 1892
The President has advised constitu-
tional legislation to secure to the people
the right to select Presidential electors
by popular vote in the several States
This will probably be taken as keynote
by his party, and since all the States but
two already have that system, it is diff
cult to understand how the Democratic
party can afford to declare in any way
that will leave it open to party to manip-
ulate district lines so that district choos-
ing of electors may defeat the principle
that free government and the integrity of
the Union demands-that electors shall be
chosen in the States by the general or
popular vote.
