THE CHOICE or A SENATOR.

We hope to see the day when our Sen
ators will be elected by direct vote of
the people. and we may say parenthet-
icaly, we hope TO see the same thing
about the judges Of the Court of APP
peals; but as this is not now practical
bic, the will Of the people should be as
certained as nearly as possible, and 1t
would be instructive and possibly in
throughout the State-not only OF coun-
ties. but Of distriets-would pass reso-
buttons. as they did in Middlesex, recon-

HOW THE ENGLISH ACCEPT THE
AWARD.

Tho spirit in which the English news
papers have accepted the award OF the
pehripg Sea arbitrator's tribunal is very
encouraging TO those who hope that this
arbitration is solid and substantial
step taken by the world towards gem
erai consensus that differences between
nations shall hereafter be settled by
peaceful methods instead Of war. AS far
rs we have seen. these newspapers have
accepted the result With thorough good
fature and an entire acquiescence. 1t is
true that the Arbitrator's Tribunal sus-
tanned England on every disputed point In
issue between the two countries Never
theless. In practically forbldding pelagic
sealing for the future. except under re-
strictions that viii make II very nearly,
II not quite. improbable. IT has denied 10
Engiand's Canadian subjects the only
thing that interested them In the least. So
that while England carries of all the
honors in the case. barring our loss Of
ages for unlawful seizures that We shall
probably have 10 pay, we secure the thing
that Is Of practical utility. the future pro-
lection OF the seal l.rd.
The London Times and the London
Spectator both look upon the fact that
the Tribunal held unfiinchingly TO What
has ALWAYS been understood 20 be the in
ternaiio law OF the case ~ OF incalcu-
liable advantage to the future of intsrna-
tionai arbitration. The London Zines
says on this point;
while a substantial majority was IN
oitpensabie to the neral authority OF the
decision. II WIS perhaps. OF even greater
moment that the decision should be In
accordance with established legal doc
trines. Had the tribunal found that Ell
ther the claim by deriyative title advanced
by America, or her claim 10 new and
unheard-of proprietary title In the seal
was valid. all reliance upon the accepted
teachings OF International law must nee
eesarily have been shaken. The whole
system would have been unsettled ana
confused. and endless new difficulties
would have been interpcsed TO the
peaceful settlement OF International dis
putes. Tho award has avcrted both
these dangers. The freedom Of the sea
as hitherto recognized by all civilized
States for over a hundred years, has been
>indieated and reasserted. and IN. theory
that any mass Of misty metaphysics and
exaggerated sentimentality Is law enough

Fashion makers, like poets. are bora,
not made. 1t is not the great artists or
the leading society ladies. not even the
famous beauties, any more, that make
the mode. They introduce it. indorse
it. realize its possibilities. and all the
world follows. But the real inventor of
modes. like the inventors of other mar
wells. live unhonored and die unsung
while the other fellow gels the benefit.
They are quiet women or men, unknown
to the fashionable clientele. employed by
leading business houses TO puzzle out
week after week something new and
startling, to evolve from their inner con-
sciousneSs effective novelties TO catch
the fancy of rich and capricious women
animated by desire to outshine their
kind.
And these quiet women are playing Il
great part i'll the cultivation of the beau
tiful and the encouragement Of art.
Why should it be accounted as less an
art to minister unto the taste for the
beautiful in the dress of women than in
the elevation of the ideal i'll fine build
inGs or exquisite hangings and decora-
tions, save only that the art of dress has
no perpetuity, no fixed and uualterable
standard of excellence:-New York Sun.

startling combination. However, rs IL
rule, good form and good taste are on
the side of simplicity, and the habitual

1t is the general belief of many leading
ichthologists that the goldfish really be-
longs to no genera or specie-in fact, they
believe it to be a monster brought about
through breeding. This belief has been
strengthened by the fact that it is now
well known that the ingenious Celestial
has actually bred whole colony of gold
fish, each having two well developed tails
and two sets of anal fins. Biologists of
national reputation i'll this country say
that it would be equally as easy task
to breed quadrupcds with eight legs.
