NOT LIKELY TO BE SERIOUS.

The report that the Salisbury Cabinet
is raising new issues with regard to the
arbitration of the Bering Sea difficulty is
published. 1t is accompanied by intima-
tions that this may be the means of defeat
ing the arbitra ion; which, in view of the
unreliability of most such International
stories, the common sense of the country
will reject as highly improbable
1t is probable that in adjusting the
minor details of the arbitration differences
may arise on some points. But it is hardly
possible that two administrations working
under the public accountability which at
taches to both our own Government and
that of England can, after agreeing to
the main basis of arbitration, permit that
method of settlement to be wrecked by
minor details. 1t would not only be a vio-
lation of good faith, but disregard of the
public common sense that would utterly
discredit any Government in representa-
tive system.
1t is much more likely that minor
difference has been sensationalized into
split than that the Salisbury Government
will stultify itself in that way. Lord
Salisbury, as well as our Government,
knows that neither England nor the United
States can afford to get into serious
quarrel over Bering Sea.

1T WILL SETTLE ITSELF

The alleged improbable results of the
cotton crop, and the wisdom of diversity
ing the agriculture of the South by raising
the corn and bacon on which the cotton
workers are fed, were discussed in these
columns a few days ago. The Washing
ton Post is agitating the change with a
zeal which is in the main praiseworthy,
but which leads to assertions that show
the need of tempering zeal with discre-
ton.
Thus the Post asserts that f'unless some
eXpedient is adopted the agricultural in
terestS of the South are in danger of ex-
tinction." This is worse than nonsense
or would be if it were not pure hyperbole.
To say that the agricultural interests of a
fertile section inhabited by millions of
energetic tillers of the soil are in danger
of extinction is simply to assert that the
people of that section are such idiots that
they cannot raise the staples that always
will be in demand as long ashuman beings
must eat and wear clothes. The agricultu-
raj interests of the South may be in
danger of depression, but they cannot
reach extinction without depopulation.
The Post further refers to a proposed
convention to urge the restriction of the
cotton production, letting food products
take its place, and says: "The only diff
Guilty in the way is that of securing the
faithful adherence of all to the proposed
remedy" There need be no difficulty at
all provided the new crops are more profit
able than cotton. 1t did not require any
convention at all to get the manufacturers
of iron rails to abandon that industry for
steel rails when the former became un-
profitable. 1t involves less cost for the
Southern farmers to change from cotton
to corn, if corn is the more profitable crop.
But if they prefer to raise cotton it dem
onstrates that they are not any worse off
than the farmers of tie Northwest who
do pretty well with THEFT corn and hog
crops in the long run.
The fact is the Post puis the project in
the light of an attempt to establish an

NEW CASTLE, Jan. 6.-[Speciol. 1.-The village
of McCaslin, near here, is excited over
haunted house story, told by two boys
named Willie Mortinet and James Walto.
For over a year sn old house in the SETTLE
ment has had the reputation of being
haunted. Some days ago the two boys, while
passing the place, heard strange noise in
the house. They approached and saw
strange figure walking about, uttering queer
noises. 1t soon disappearen and the fright
ened boys made tracks for home.
Isaac Williams and John Faden accom-
panied the boys back to the place. One of
the doors was unlocked and they entered.
They heard a moaning sound which they
were unable to locate, and they started to
leave, when they looked back and saw a
terrible object on the roof 1t stood ten feet
high, with glaring eyes, all The time nit

they stood, the figure f1oated toward them
through the air. They waited no longer
but fled, and cannot now be persuaded to go
near the house. Other respectable villagers
say they have seen the same awful object.
No solution to the mystery is vouchsafed.
Several people here. scientifically inclined,
intend to investigate further.
