JOHN BULLS BLUFFS,

| Chicago Tribune.
| England Is again playing the old trick
| with the United States. She has rarely
| had dealings with this country when She
has not succeeded in carrying her point
| by a bluff. She bluIffed a weak Demo-
cratic administration under Tyler out OF
a large strip of the state of Maine by
the Ashburton treaty of 1912. She bluffed
a Southern Democratic administration out
of a huge strip of territory in the North
west, In the campaign of 1S4i the Demo-
Gratis inscribed upon their banners the
legend $40 or Fight" They did not
fight nor did they get 54.4O. They backed
down to compromise on 40 as soon
as they were in possession of the gov
ernment, and with their tails between
their legs allowed England to take the
3 4-1O degree 1t claimed, thus surrenderl1g
to the British a large part of Vancouver
sound all of the valuable island, $50 miles
of Pacific ocean front, and a territory
east to the Rock mountains containing
10000 square miles, or an area three
times as great as that of Illinois
In settling the fishery dispute with Can
ada the United States was bluffed again.
1t submitted to arbitration and allowed
Belgium, selected by England as her fac
totum to mulct THIS country in a $5,-
100000 bill of damages, whereas from the
standpoint of fair play 1t did not owe
the Canucks a dollar. Learning nothing
from this arbitration the government was
foolish enough to consent to an arbltra-
ton of the seal-shooting question, and
an award was made of half a million dol
lars FOR stopping Canadian poachers from
shooting our seals. What has been the
result? Since that time the poachers have
killed off most of the remaining herds,
and in two or three years at farthest
there will not be a seal left on the Priby-
lof islands breeding grounds. When all
that was lacking to save the seals was
sand" we were taken in and neatly done
for. II There had been less Anglomania
and more American self-respect, If we had
stood by our rights, Great Britain would
not have fired upon our seal cruisers
The first shot would have unsealed her
hold upon Canada,
The latest bluff OF England Is an at
tempt to survey the United States out of
the southern half of Alaska, and, IL pre-
cedents are any indication, she will
succeed in this also, as the Anglomaniacs
Will probably insist upon the surrender OF
our c,aim, and this, too, although the
boundary between Alaska ami Canada
has been a settled fact since 1871. that 1t
was not disputed while Alaska belonged
TO Russia, and that the line is still on
all the English maps as 1t is upon the
American. The Inducements for England

NEW DESIGNS IN CHINA.


There is a good deal that is radically
new in china, as fashion has decreed
many changes of late both in shape and
decoration.
At any rate there are some odds and
ends of information picked up during a
tour of the shops, which may be of in
terest to the enterprising housekeeper.
Platters have round corners with edges
slightly rolled over, the sides being par
TALLY concave. Tureens and other deep
dishes are perfectly round, with the
handles of mat or dead gold, if not decor
ated in color.
White and gold china is still favor
lite, and known under the name OF
"Richelieu," blue and white ware also
has much vogue, particularly the Meissen
china of the "onion" pattern.
An ivory finish Is feature of the re-
cent wares from SaXony! this is shown
with charming effect in center pieces for
the table.
Bonton dishes are leaf shaped, crescent
and oblong, also very pretty are the
claw-footed bonbon and %alted almond
dishes. There is deep, broad dish, with
curving sides, to hold oranges for the
breakfast table, and quantity fashioned
dish with four divisions for the home din
ner; this is to hold fruit; it has a recep-
tacle at the top for flowers.
pretty receptacle for hors doeuvres
has six divisions and silver server with
an ivory handle. Perfectly sweet is a
teapot which looks like bail of violets;
the cups to go with it are also violets
and rest on saucers Of green leaves. The
dainty little dish for peppermint creams
is placed within another of openwork
silver which must be filled with fresh
sprigs of mint.
There is still a demand for bouillon
cups, but bone plates and butter plates
and saucers, except with teacups, went
out long ago. Cafe-noir sets have eX-
tremely small cups and lovely porcelain
spoons.
set of Limoges china, painted in
design of wild roses, is very charming
for a tea service, while most appropriate
is fish set bestrewed with seaweed, with
ground effects of cloudy green depths
and sunny shadows.
Whether in fashion or out of fashion,
a bit of china always has a firm hold
upon feminine. Observation-Disclosures.

Many Flaws May Lead to Com
plicatiOns.
SOME REMEDIAL EFFORTS MADE
But Little Has Been Accomplished
to Better Matters citizenship
Is Too Cheap Entirely.

Recent discussion of the Moro claim
in certain Of it's phases-which do not
! involve, however the justice of the dis
pute between Spain and this country
has given rise to an interesting and time
ly query in international ethics. To what
extent, the question presents itself, can
naturalization under our laws be proper
ly he'd to confer immunity on a citizen
of the United States returning TO and re-
siding in the country of his original al
legiance? In theory and in ordinary prac-
tce the protection guaranteed to an
allen resettling in his native country, by
an assumption of citizenship here, is
ample and complete The transfer of all
allegiance is presumed to be made de-
iiberately and in good faith, and all
former civic obligations are apparently
cancelled by an oath taken to support
the constitution and obey the laws of the
United States. Yet under our present
irregular and haphaZard system of ma
turalization, tolerated by an Indifferent
public opinion and a neglected congress.
1t is evident that grave abuses of the
rights and immunities of citizenship may
creep in.
Citizenship has been so cheapened in
this country by the false sentimentality
which has shrunk from throwing either
restrictions or safeguards about immigra-
tion that it is not surprising to find the
motives and the methods of many men
WHO seek it questioned here and abroad.
If, for example, a European, wishing to
escape military duty in his own country,
contrives by the flimsiest compliance with
our laws to oDtain naturalization papers,
neither foreign governments nor our own
can fail to feel that a trick has been
played when the newly naturalized citi-
zen returns to do business in his native
country and pleading his American ma
turalization, seeks exemption from the
civic obligations which weigh so mater
ially upon all his neighbors. Likewise,
II u man who has engaged in con-
spiracy against the established govern
ment of his country appears as a success
ful applicant for citizenship in our
courts and then returns to his use his
change of allegiance as means of escap-
ing the penalties he has incurred for his
former political offences, his native gov
ernment is clearly justified in complain
ing of such perversion of the right of |
nor can our own govern
ment be supposed to defend with COM
p.acency- so palpable an abuse of it's |
system.
Occasional scattering efforts have been |
made in the last three or four congresses |
to remedy certain specific effects in the |
laws; but little or nothing |
has been accomplished. 1t Is plain, how
ever, that the whole system needs to be |
revised before the conditions of admis-
sion to citizenship here can be made |
wholly satisfactory to conservative and |
patriotic sentiment at home, or wholly
equitable in the eyes of friendly foreign
governments.

GOOD IN EVERYTHING.


The man who frets at worldly strife
Grows saiow, sour and thin;
Giev us the lad whose happy life
Is one perpetual grin.
He, Midas-hke, turns all to gold,
He smiles when others sigh,
Enjoys alike the hot and cold.
And laughs through wet and dry.
There's fun in everything we meet,
The greatest, worst and best:
Existence is a merry treat,
And every speech jest,
Bet ours to watch the crowds that pass
Where Mirth's gay banner waves.
To show fools through a quizzing glass
And bastinade the knaves.
Tue serious word will scold and ban.
In elamor loud and hard.

And Paulding styled a bard.

person who appears after that hour must
ring the bell, rouse the porter who is
usually on this occasion not in his state
dress, and pay him fee Of 10 kreutzers,
something less than five cents. II the
hour is very late the fee must be doubled.
Inefe are also curious methods in Use
in the sprinkling of streets. In some
cities this function is performed by one
man. In Vienna It requires two. the
second walking behind pulling a long
rope, which swings a hose that wildly
strews the water over the stones. The
introduction of a self-operating sprinkler
would throw this second man out of
employment, an argument, the force OF
which Is very similar to that used
against the railroad on account of its
being opposed to the interests of the
horse, or one which is heard in Europe
in regard to disarmament when 1t is
said that this policy would throw great
many idle people on the world and over
stock the labor market, or the one which
Is used TO prove that women ought not
to be allowed to engage in employments
in competition with men.
One of the means by which the Aus
trians make 1t pleasant for visitors is the
taxation of every newspaper coming into
the country from foreign parts. On each
paper tne pOSton1ce off1cialS paste a
two-kreutzer stamp, worth a little less
than one cent, the price of which is
collected before the delivery is made TO
the addressee This is considered to be
no violation of the international postage
treaties, just as at Berlin It is similarly
considered to be no violation of the same
treaties to charge for overweight when
the scales of all other countries find there
Is no overweight. This is one of the
delights of living under an omnipotent
state. An Austrian very lucidly explains
the virtue of the newspaper tax in this
way Tine Austrian papers are all taxed
one kreuzer per copy 1t is necessary to
tax foreign papers twice as much to keep
out competition from abroad. Otherwise
the Jews might print all the Vienna pa
pers in America, send them over here and

SHORT SLEEVES AND LONG GLOVES

The large elbow once SO fashionable
is again in vogue and promises to be
popular. These are ubiquitous on all the
French models, and, although they bring
with them the necessity for long gloves
they yet may be voted cooler wear than
the sleeve to the wrist. They look very
pretty when decorated with three little
frills of lace on the hem, and today we
again make our sleeves of a different
material from our gowns of n richer and
rarer stuff usually. The most inexpen-
sive OF crepons will be provided with a
gorgeous pair of chine silk sleeves. and a
plain black grenadne may awake to
find itself famous with a pair of bro
caded grenadine sleeves Brocaded gren-
adlne is a novelty. or at least COM
rarative novelty. 1t really made its first
appearance the season before last, but
even yet It is difficult to set it, 1t looks
charming when weA made and trimmed
vita Jet, and 1t usually boasts a black
or dark blue ground. Besides forming
gowns, 1t is permitted to trim hats in
the form of rosettes and to make little
capes trimmed with frills of chiffon. A
very pretty cape which had the pleasure
of sitting next to at the opera the other
