Neither labor nor capital has shown
any disposition to favor the creation of
an official board of arbitration empow-
cred to enforce it's decisions. Labor,
indeed, has protested against it, as tend
ing to it's enslavement board without
such pow er nobody makes any strenuous
opposition to because every body knows
that it practically amounts to nothing.
We doubt if there is a case on record
where such board ever settled labor
dispute which unofi cial arbitrator
could not have settled just as well; or
where the former was called when the
latter would not have been. The exist
enee of an official board has no tenden-
cy to make the disputants any more
ready to submit their differences to arbi-
tration than they would have been did it
not exist. and an official board furnishes
men no more capable not more accepta-
BILE to the disputants than the disputants
could haVeE Selected themselves. 1t is
said that such board is valuable for
the purpose of inquiring into the causes
OF strikes and suggesting remedies. Pos
sibly there may be something in that
occasionally, but the causes of
a strike are seldom obscure, and it is
rare that a formal investigation is
necessary to ascertain them.

The strikes ON the Brooklyn trolley
roads seems virtually over, though there
is still some guerrilla warfare being car
ried on in the way of cutting wires. 1t
is to be said that the strikers had more
genuine grievances and much better
ground for complaint than strikers gen
orally do. But It hay selected a very in
opportune time FOR their strike, for men
who want work now are far in excess OF
the opportunities, and their places were
sure to be filed, unless they could intim-
idate the new men. That they under
took to do, and did do for time, but
that could not continue long. Perhaps
they would have accomplished no more
toward bringing the company to terms
if they had refrained from all violence
and relied Oh public sntiment, which
was on their side at the beginning, but
they would have accomplished no less
certainly and would have retained the
sympathy of the people, which they
have now to a large extent lost, owing
to their turbulent conduct.

The Nicaragua Canal bill has passed
the Senate by an unexpectedly large ma
iority. Indeed, at one time it was the
current opinion that the bill would fail.
There is little hope, however, of the
measure getting through the House at
this session, as it will provoke long de-
bate. The next House, however, will
probably contain a larger number OF
members favorable to the bill than this
one, and the probability is that it will
then pass with ease.

the pttfist, the critic, the writer of ele-
CANT prose and of society stories highly
wrought, but always refined and sensi-
tive, is seen in these purely dramatic
ventures in a somewhat new light. His
fevers will add these volumes to their
collections of his writings and even the
casual reader is struck by their clever
ness and point and by certain epigram-
matte neatness and finish. Yet they are
not very satisfactory, after all. Per-
haps sage dialogue never is read to ones
self, by one'self. We can imagine party
of bright people making much out OF
these plays on paper. The real article, in
Mr.. James's case, has not been well re-
ceived by London audience. All the
same an English public deciding upon
play is very queer affair and hardly

heart when it is realized that an equally
thorough revival has been going on IN
intellectual pursuits. The game of cness,
about which, by the way, SO many pref

picturesque and poetic side, has been
increasing in popularity Of late and

CONFESSIONAL WORK.

Determined Effort to Re Made in E3otlI
Houses TO Press Forward tho Work OF
the Session.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Both houses
Of congress will resume their sessions
On Thursday next, a1d it is expected
that there will be a more determined
Effort TO press forward the work of the
session for the next month than has
characterized the proceedings during
the month which has already elapsed.
The necessary work of the session is
the passage Of the appropriation bills,
Of which there are fourteen. OF these,
none have passed the senate, and only
Eve have received the sanction of the
house. OF these fve the senate com
mittec on appropriations has passed
favora bly, upon the pensions and mill
tary AGA denny bills, while the army,
fortifcations ard urgent deficiency
bills are still under consideration by
the committee.
It is in order for the senate to take
up any reported appropriation bill at
any time and whether the Nicaragua

calendar as unfinished business, shall
continue to hold its place of vantage
will depend for the present upon

shall desire to supplant it with the
pensions or Notifications bills, or with
any other appropriations bill after
the other bills shall be reported from
the committee. There is, however, no
urgency concerning either of the ap-
preparation bills SO far as reported,
and the probabilities are that the Mic
aragua bill will not be displaced for
the present.
The Nicaragua canal discussions
will, barring the possibility of displace-
ment and adjournment over until the
