SAY SOMETHING LIKE ARBITRATION
Westminster Gazette Suggests a Digni-

Westminster Gazette Suggests a Digni-
fled Way Out of the Difficulty.
London, Dec. S1.-The Westminster Ga
zette this afternoon, in leading article
headed 1.-THE Way Out" says
while the question intrinsically is not
important, incidentally it is of great i'm
portance that Great Britain can not re-
treat from the position she has taken
up, and the United States will not retreat
from theirs. The only method of escape
from this deadlock, which shall impose
neither humiliation nor retreat on either
side, is to find something which is not
arbitration, but which is as like it as pos
sible. The Westminster Gazette suggests
that both countries agree upon a board of
Cancellation, not binding themselves, as
in the case of arbitration, to accept its
decision, but on the chance of the con-
ciliators being able to suggest a comprom-
Use acceptable to both countries"
In conclusion the Westminster Gazette
remarks: I'VE firmly believe a couple of
impartial, sensible men, say the chief JUS
tees of the two countries, could easily set
tie the matter by this method"
DANGER NOT YET PAST.
London, Dec. 31.-The afternoon news
papers all regard the utterances of Sen
ator Sherman on President Cleveland's
message to congress on the Venezuelan
question as plain warning that the dan
ger has not yet passed. The stock ex-
change opened dull and inactive, but lat
er the tone of the market improved. Two
firms involved in American securities were
declared defaulters today on the Liverpool
stock exchange.

Senator Morrill,.

The practically una animous re-electi Of
Senator Justin 8. Morrill, yesterday by the
Vermont legislature is cause for gratiiica-
ton here. Few men i'll Congress have done
as much as Senator Morrill, for Washington
as city and as a capital. He has always
aided in the passage of measures intended
to add to the attractions of Washington
and many monuments to his breadth Of
view and his generous statesmanship are
permanently at nand. The Congressional
Library, building tEat has challenged the
admiration CT lie entire world, is one Of
these. and it is we'll known that he conf
dentiy hopes to add to the architectural at
fractions of Washington in the near future
by securing liberal appropriations for a Su-
preme Court builiing and for extensions to
the smithsonian and the National Museum.
Personally and officially Senator Morrill, is
above reproach. and the compliment of
continuation in an important public posi-
ton was never better deserved by an
American citizen

More About Railroad Wreckinr.

If the capitalists who are in control Of a
majority interest in the Ecking ton Belt
street railway system had shown as much
practical energy in the conduct of the Iegi-
Innate work of running street cars for the
mutual benefit of their stockholders and
the public as they have evidently expended
in the plain determination to finance the
property into a wreck. doubtless there
would be no cause for complaint among
the original owners of the roads and their
rapidly diminishing patrons. But it is ap-
parently more to the taste and profit OF
these shrewd operators to play bear or

Chicago platform. and the document in its

Chicago platform, and the document in Its
entirety has not proved acceptable.
The republicans are advised. moreover,
that men of the Debs stamp, very far from
being in the majority. are in the minority
in labor circles. They are the men of most
ncise. and in any sudden emergency are
apt to pr6ciuitate organizations to which
they may belong into trouble. But, as a
rule. 1t is asserted. their influence is re-
gretted, and action taken under 1t Is. in
the enl. rcprdiated. The estimate is that
rot over twenty per cent Of any labor or
gs nization is ever disposed at the start to
proceed to the extremity of strike. But
that small minority. by throwing itself into
the contention with vehemence, often stam-
pedes the majority, and collision is at
hand before the majority is aware of it.
The Debs people. as the republicans be-
lieve, have failed in this fight because Of
the length Of time which the labor organi-
cations have had for studying the aues-
:ions. There has been no opportunity for
stampede. Nobody has been forced by
excitement into hasty action. The wage
earners have carried the whole problem
about with them, and in their busy as In

No more does an eyebrow allure him
To rhyme without asking her leave;
The curves which a topic assure him
Are the lines of lady-love's sleeve.
Like her mood, which is strangely capric
ious,
The garb we have learned to admire,
Is changed, when Dame Fashion, officieus
Invokes a new mode of attire.
The outlines that memory cherished
Are hidden by garments uncouthc
The fiexions,. so graceful, have perished,
And love grows a-weary. in sooth.-
In vain are her efforts to charm US
By mtellect's dazzling display;
Her sallies but serve to alarm us
Lest beauty be banished fer aye.
True feminine grace-why suppress it?
Its owners. alas, are so few!
While wit Cit is sad to confess if)
May be bought for dollar or two.
But it's useless to scold or to wheedle;
