The Limits of Arbitration.

With international arbitration we
confess to having comparatively little
sympathy. If nations mean toeAgAt,
nothing will prevent their SO doing, and
agreements TO arbitrate will be of very
little service. The suggestion of an
agreement between England and the
United States to establish permanent
machinery for regulating their disputes
is, however, quite different. Nations in
whom the same racial characteristics
are to be found, who are influenced by
the same ideas, who talk the same Ian
guage, read the same books and possess
the same political traditions, are capable
of making an agreement TO settle dis
putes by arbitration reality.
Again, an agreement not to fight till
the question in dispute has been referred
to body exercising the functions of a
court of law is step in the direction of
that alliance between the United States
and England which, we trust and be-
lieve, is the destiny of the two countries.
If we begin by an acknowledgment that
we are not III the position of foreign
powers-i. e., liable to war ut any mo-
ment-we may soon rise to Il definite
race alliance, and lastly to that declara.
ton of common citizenship which would
prevent any Englishman from being an
alien in America or any American being
an alien in England and would heal the
breach in the unity of the race caused 10y
the folly of George III and his ministers

RECENT EVENTS DOWN The RIVER
Henry Ku'per's Experience in a Levee
Landslide.
The Bean Crop Going to Market-Mon-
stcr Siphons for Reclama-
ton Purposes.

The Rio Vista News, which keeps an
eye on passing events down in it's Sec
ton, publishes the following bits of
news.
Last week Henry Kulper, who lives
or Brannan Island, had a very narrow
escape from being buried under land
slide on the levee near where the
dredger Sampson is working. On his
arrival he was warned by Superin-
tendent Hart F. Smith to keep q dis
lance from the bank, but he paid no at
tentiOn to the warning until it was too
late. On turning to run he made a Tery
short distance before the slide over
took him, covering him up to his waist.
Mr.. Smith. seeing his situation, blew q
warning whistle for the dredger to
stop and for help to come. The signal
was not heard at first, so dfpper after
Gipperful was sent. BY this time Mr..
Smith gained the top of the leVee and
had the dredger stopped. Then the
crew commenced to rescue Mr.. Kulper.
Plans of all kinds were suggested. One
by Hart Smith was to throw a rope
around Kulper's neck and pull him out.
but this was objected to by the victim
The crew told him it was no use tni.
time because he could not kick. At last
they had te~dig him out.
When relieved from his predicament
it was sometime before the blood would
circulate through his feet so as to stand
up. He intends to keep away from the
levee hereafter.

A Matter of Doubt,


1t was necessary that he should be so.
for Dixon was a coachman for rich and
fashionable family and he knew the re-
Quirements of his position.
He sat upon the box as if he was carven
stone but there was behind that impas
sive countenance an intelligence which
was at times most startling.
He was thus sitting at IL a. ID. OF a
bright and glorious morning when the
fair and gracious daughter of the house
tripped lightly down the steps and APP
preached the elegant carriage at the curb.
The young woman stopped as her
dainty foot touched the carriage step.
"Dixon," she said.
"Yes, Miss. resumed Dixon, looking
squarely to the front.
"Drive me 10 the nearest place where
can be measured for u bicycle suit"
Yes, miss. Dressmaker's or tailor
shop?"
For moment the fair creatures face
was study and then it filled full OF
smiles and dubbed over in ripping
laughter.
