UNCLE SAM May ARBITRATE

John Bull has better opinion of his
Brother Jonathan than he used to
have. The two have had a number of
disputes during the past thirty odd
years, commencing with the Mason and
Slidell incident. Several times the stu
alton has appeared critical. and the two
were on the verge of engaging in mortal
combat, but fortunately common sense
prevailed and settlement was always
reached without drop of blood being
shed. England paid handsomely for
the depredations committed by the Con-
federate privateers, and settled the bill
manfully and without grumbling. The
United States reciprocated when the
fisheries dispute was settled. The two
nations united in the Sc ttlement of af-
fairs i'll Samoa, and in the recent Bra

MORE INSIDE HISTORY.

Readers of the GLOBE may recall the
visit here of Senator Faulkner and
party in 1891. and the subsequent narra-
ton of the story told by the senator of
| the tariff plank of the st. Louis plat
form. Briefly, to refresh defective
memories, Mr.. Cleveland. SO the story
went. had become alarmed at the recep-
ton of his message of 1887, and just be-
fore the convention sent for German,
| and gave him the draft Of tariff plank
which he had drawn, and asked the
senator TO take it to the convention and
secure its adoption. German showed it
to Randall, and the latter said it pleased
him, but the Cleveland crowd would
beat 1t. German went, worked to get
the plank adopted. and failed. receiving
for his pains the condemnation of the
press of the party.
This story was told with so much
minuteness of detail that it imposed on
many who did not see behind it Cor
mans play for the nomination in '92 or
the Inherent weaknesses of the story.
1t evidently imposed on Henry Waiter
son, himself member of the platform
competitor against German for the
craftsmanship of the committee, for e
has stated it substantially in his paper.
The recent attack of German on the
president has revived the story with va
riations, one being that German drew
the plank and the president interlined
the changes he wished made, quite
material change in itself. But it brings
out different version from gentleman
who was member of the committee on
platform, who contributes, in An inter-
view with World reporter. an interest
ing addition to the inside history of the
controversy.
German. Morrison and Watterson were
subcommittee of the platform COM
mittee to whom was delegated the task
OF drafting platform. German pre-
scented to his associates draft
of a platform, and assured them
that the tariff plank had MIR.
Cleveland's approval, certain inter-
lineations in it having been suggested
by him. The plank was not satisfactory
to them, and during an adjournment
they consulted number of outside
Democrats. One of these who had had
occasion to learn the shlfty character
of German suggested that the president
be asked if Germans statement was
true. A wire was sent him and in a
couple hours this reply i'll substance
came back: "SenatorGorman's proposed
platform was read to the president, who
was interested in it, but is in no wise
committed to it. The work of framing
the platform is in the hands of the con-
vention." Mr.. Germans platform was
thereupon summarily set aside and one
drawn chiefly by Morrison and Waiter
son accepted.
There were many elements of i'm
probability in the story told by Cor
mans presidential party. and these
should have been sufficient to have
saved any one from being imposed on
by it, aside from its claim of double
dealing, characteristic as utterly
foreign TO Mr.. Cleveland AS it is indigo
nous to Mr.. German; but, as it did inn
pose on many, we are glad to have this
narrative of the facts. bearing as they
do the air of probability III spite of the
withholding of the narrator'S name.

How Anarchists Should Be Pun
iShed.


ished.
Henry Holt, in the August Forum
Since the anarchist acknowledges no
duty to government, he can clai III no
rights from government; consequently
when a man is duly convicted of anar-
chistic sentiments. let. the govern ment
at once announce that it 10 longer ex-
tends its protection to his person or
property-that he is an outlaw. with no
defense but his own strength against
any hate or greed of which he or his
may be the object. If outlawry fails to
keep the anarchist in exile, shall the
sanction be confinement or death?
Eradication is the only cure, and de-
lay, even hesitancY, is cruelty. If
you put him in prison or asylum, there
is no sort of security that he would stay
there. If there be here and there a
thoroughly reconstructed man working
out long sentence. the fact is shame,
and the idea of keeping a cured man
shut up, especially in an asylum. is in
tolerable. 1t is a popularity of the
anarchists case that his own opinion
regarding his cure is the only one that
can be taken. But to take that is prac-
tically impossible. His disorder does
not prevent discrimination, and all that
he has to do is to profess a change OF
heart and stick to 1t. To entrap
him, through argument, irrita-
ton. surprise, or espionage, into
statement of his true sentiments,
would often be impossible. Remember
how Gerard disSembled, though before
his crime. Before he gets so far as
actual violence your anarchist may be
the mildest- man that ever
cut throat or scuttled ship. But that
is the very time to shut him up-it is
too late wnen his ferocity is uniooSed.
Yet see the paradoX-before his feroc-
ity Is Embossed, it is wasted trouble to
shut him up because he can disSimulate
himself out, but To wait till his ferocjty
is Embossed is abs urd. Hence. it is
RIDICULOUS to depend upon shutting him
up at all.

THE experiment of tea-raising in this
country, that brought so much ridicule
upon Commissioner OF Agriculture La
Due some years ago. has not been a
total failure. Several persons have
continued the experiments ever since,
and at last have demonstrated that tea
may be grown here. On one farm
near Fayette. N. c., an excellent arti-
Gle, said to be equal to the best Chinese
or japanese tea, has been raised at a
cost of about dollar a pound. This, of
course, is too expensive for general use,
but those engaged in the culture express
confidence that ere long the cost can be
reduced one-half. Stranger things have
happened than the production of good
quality of tea from our soil at cost
that shall render Its importation UNI
profitable.

pretexts they were persuaded to embark
on their own ships. and when safely out
