A POSSIBLE WAY.

The latest suggestion that comes
from Washington for the settlement of
the Venezuelan controversy offers a
method that could be accepted with
dignity and honor by all parties con-
cerned. It rests upon the superstition
that some third nation or sovereign
desires to use it's good Offices to pre-
vent any possible breach Of amicable
feeling and relation between the two
countries. If this is the case, and If
1t were proposed that tribunal Of
arbitration should be constituted, leav
ing both England and the United
States cut of its composition, to which
should be submitted the question Of
the disputed territory west Of the
Schomburgk line, with the understand
ing that if that commission should
agree that territory east Of that line
was also in doubt, then that question
should be submitted likewise either to
the same tribunal or to another, there
is no reason Why we should not give
our assent.
All that the United States has asked
from the beginning, and what Ven
eZuela has asked for O. generation gone,
is arbitration. The whole difficulty
arises from the fact that England has
in this case refused every offer to set
tie her differe noes with Venezuela by
the mode which all civilized nations
approve, and which is, in an especial
sense, the accredited method for end
ing disputes to which either America
or Great Britain is party. Had the
desire Of Venezuela to arbitrate been
accepted long ago, there would have
been no trouble. Had the offer Of the
United States to promote a settlement
by arbitration been accepted, the same
would have been true. The difficulty
exists today only because of the per-
sistent rejection by England of a meas
ure which on all other occasions she
has loudly proclaimed the most admir-
able and the only one worthy Of the
approval of a modern and progressive
state. We shall be very glad if the
iepI IdliCIl iledue ny ILLS duiulillS-
tration, backed by the power and re-
sources of this government, shall con-
vince Great Britain that arbitration is
a good thing in dealing with a weak
power, as well as with strong one.
Should the proposed arrangement be
carried into effect, it would be a total
yielding Of the point that Great Brit
ain has made. That point, the only
insurmountable obstacle thus far, has
been her utter refusal to submit to ar
bitration the question of ownership of
territory the only title to which rests
upon the establishment of a boundary
line by one of her own agents, which
has never been recognized by Ven
ezuela. 1t will not matter anything
to us whether she finally consents to
arbitrate these points on her own rep
resentation or on that of some disin-
terested power. The main thing is to
have it understood that aggressions on
this continent will not be permitted by
the United States. All the world is
pretty well aware of the fact by this
time. IL the result Of our position shall
be to extend the scope and power Of
arbitration, it will be another triumph
for American diplomacy, and another
achievement for this country in the
role of peacemake-.

ST. PAUL POSTAL SERVICE.
Postmaster Castle Receives Let
ter From Washington.

Postmaster Castle has, in reply to his rec
concentrations for improving the local free de-
livery system by an increase in the number
of carriers, received the following letter from
the first assistant postmaster general:
Jan. IA, 1S96.-Postmaster, st. Paul, Mimi
s Slr; l am IN receipts OF your letter Of the
9Th inst, and note your request for an al
lowance of one mounted and six foot letter
carriers to commence service Feb. ! next. l
also note your very full statement regarding
the needs for this addition TO your force as
well as your showing regarding the increase
IN your business during your administration.
The department appreciates your efforts to
cheerfuliy comply with suggestions made and
bring the service at your Office up to it's pres
ent high standard of efficiency, and so far
as is possible it is the desire of this ad-
ministration to aid you in your efforts to eX-
tend the service and bring about further i'm
provements.
Before considering further your application,
it is my desire to suggest to you plan by
which you can, doubtless make the desired
improvements, increase and extend your serv-
ice to the extent wished for, and, in fact,
give the citizens of st. Paul a service which
shall be above criticism.
1t has been demonstrated IN some of the
large offices of the country that very great
saving in time and money. as well as in the
number Of carriers, can be effected by pro-
viding for a collection system which shall be
almost entirely performed by mounted col
lectors; the only exception being the out
side or suburban districts. By the adoption Of
this plan the carriers are relieved of all this
work and are enabled to materially increase
their delivery duties. 1t is my desire there
fore that you at once prepare plan which
shall show the number of carriers who could
be relieved by g. change to this kind of serv-
ice; as well as to show how many mounted
collectors it would, in your opinion require
to perform this service.
l am satisfied that, by mounting the proper
number of men, you will be able, with your
present force, to not only give the present
free delivery district a more efficient service.
but that you will have carriers enough at
your disposal to extend the free delivery to
all parts of the city not now receiving it.
AS soon as you have prepared this plan. it
is my desire that you bring it to Washington
in person.
President Vanish. of the Commercial club.
also received a letter yesterday from Assistant
Postmaster General Jones, part of which
read:
l have to state that the information re-
ceiyed by you regarding the proposed reduc-
ton in the letter carrier service at st. Paul
is entirely erroneous. There has been no
thought on the part of this department of talk
ing any such action; on the contrary, steps
have already been taken looking to the ma
tcrial Improvement of the service there.

FREE DIsPENSARY.
"ork OF REORGANIZATION, DR.. Green
Says, Progressed Ronidv

If great results are ACCOMPLISHED
slowly. then the transformation of the
free D1spensary and College Building
association must be an exception to the
rule, for the committee which was
spoken of in yesterdays Globe has
already nearly finished the work al
lotted to it, and will in all probability
meet today and set g. date for another
general meeting of the association.
Less opposition to the reorganization
has been found than was anticipated
IN some quarters, and Dr. Greene, who
Is secretary of the committee, said
last night that the committee had prac-
tlcally finished it's work. Another
meeting, however, would be held to-
DAY to pick UP the loose ends that
might not have been cared for yester-
day, and then the committee would
be ready to report its plan for incor-
poration. This, DR.. Greene said, was
practically in line with the project de-
scribed in the G l o yesterday and
was largely a matter of technical ar
engagements for the Incorporation and
the organization of the association on
the soundest financial basis. The COM
mittee which is entrusted with the
plan includes, besides DIR. Greene, n.

portant subjects to come up for dis
cussion will be the issuance of licenses
to Canadian concerns to fish in Ameri-
can waters on the Northern boundary.
The Canadians refuse to license Ameri-
can firms on Lake of the Woods and
the latter have to keep on this side Of
the international line. while the Ca
nadians have devised away of securing
licenses from the Minnesota COM
mission. A company was incorporated
at Detroit, Mich, with a capital stock
Of $4,000, only $50 of which was held
on this side of the boundary
The law passed by the last legisla-
ture was intended to cover just such
cases, and an effort will be made to
prevent the renewal of the licenses to
Canadian fishing companies.

Sunday VIII Be Sacred.
he Editor of the Globe

To the Editor OF the Globe.
In the Dispatch / noticed a communication
from Rev. Watson B. Millard protesting
against children's masquerade on Sunday.
The reverend gentleman is excited unneces-
sarily. The childrens masquerade is sched-
uled for Saturday afternoon, Jan. 3d. and has
been so announced from the secretary's of
flee. Through an error one morning paper
announced it for Sunday afternoon, Jan. %.
Sunday was retained, but the date was
changed to the 26th-why 1 do not know.
Sunday will be sacred so far as the carnival
managers are concerned, without urging or
protest from any citizen. That has been
settled from the very start.
