KATIE AND THE OLD GUITAR.

The sweetest strain tnat ever
My raptured ears have heard
know that memory never
= Can lose single word
Was ON a balmy evening
That crowned summer day
When Katie tuned the old guitar
And sang my heart away.
The happy starlight beaming
Upon her lily throat
Set wiStful fancy dreaming
With every haunting note.
1t was no idle ballad,
No SenSeleSS modern lay:
With Bonnie Annie Laurie"
She sang my heart away.
( And when the song was over
And Katie breathed a sigh,
She, too, could boast lover
Who would lay him down and die.
Twas then told my secret,
And still / bless the day
When Katie tuned the old guitar
And sang my heart away.

Mr.. YateS's Defense.

Mr.. Frank B. Yates, principal of the
Deaf Mute Institution, OF Arkansas,
has written a long letter to the Rich
mond Dispatch. denying the charges
made against him by witnesses before
the Legislative investigating com
mittee, and furnishing proof of his
innocence. OF Mr.. Randolph, who
brought the charges, Mr.. Yates says:
LAS to John Randolph, 1 have but
little to say. I know him to be a sore
headed, disappointed applicant for
positions. He entertained an ami
mostly towards me long before my
conduct at the Virginia Institution
had been questioned. 1t is said that
back of every human action there is
a motive. Ii the above is not the kew,

Sentiment for Arbitration.

| Prominent citizens of Chicago so a
dispatch from that city says, suggest
in all seriousness a rather unusual plan
for ascertaining the sentiment in this
country in regard to arbitration or war
with Great Britain upon any differ
ences that have arisen or may arise in
the future. 1t is proposed that on
Washington's Birthday, February % J
Or on the Sunday following. the PEG
pie, through their societies, clubs,
churches, social. religious or CONNER
ciai organizations, shall embody their
| views On these two questions: Whether
the United States and Great Britain,
by formal treaty, shall establish arbi
tration as the method of concluding a Ii
differences which may fall OF settle
ment by diplomacy between the two
powers, and What is our opinion of
war as mode of deciding controver
sizes between the United States and
Great Britain?" In brief, the Chicago
committee evidently seeks to discover
| whether our civilization and that of
Great Britain is all that it has been
represented to be. or whether it is only
a sham and humbug, the two nations
being eager to fly at each others
Threats and settle their differences by
an appeal to physical force.
The vie VS. of the best elements of the
American people upon the question of
arbitration have already been express
ed with emphatic cIearness and plain
ness. While here and there we find a
bioodthirsty citizen who pretends to
be anxious for war with Great Britain
to even up old scores, as we'll AS from
sheer love of fighting and the desire to
humiliate Englishmen in general the
large majority of Americans have held
opinions Numerically opposed to the
new gospel of slaughter and devasta
ton. They prefer the rational, civil
| lied method of su bmitting disputes to
diplomacy first. and, if this fails, then
to the award of arbiters in whom they
have confidence. They think that as
the nineteenth century draws to
close it is sign of degenera ton to ex
press a desire to burn cities and to
take human life for any provocation
short OF national defense or gross at
tack upon national honor Those PEG
pie have already spoken, and it re-
qulres no further declaration on their
part to strengthen the movement for
a peaceful arbitration of all matters of
difference between this country and

come OF the plan suggested by the Chi
cago peace lovers : Bdltinore SIM

On to international Arbitration


The popular movement which has
been started in this and other large
cities in favor OF an Anglo American
tribunal of arbitration is significant
and promising sign of the times. es-
pecially in view of the fact that a
similar popular agitation has sprung
Up in England.
1t is striking proof of the growth
of public sentiment in favor OF arbi-
tration as means of averting foreign
acknowledgements. We trust that it will
have good effect on the government
at Washington and on the Salisbury
Ministry.
Both of these must now see that
never before has some permanent sys
tenn of arbitration between England
and the United States appeared SO
desirable and never before has the
time been so propitious for bringing it
about. The two nations have had a
practical illustration of the extremes
to which reckless jingoism may be car
ried as well as the danger it may
menace to the peace of both, and the
sober sense of the people demands
some means of rendering the mania
harmless to their international rela-
lions and business interests.
This desirable end will be attained
by the adoption of some plan of arbi-
tration for the settlement of any dis
putes that may hereafter arise between
the two counties. To this principle
both are committed by practice and
official declaration. Nearly every dis
pute that has come up between them
during this century has been settled
by arbitration, while the House of
Commons and Congress have each
passed resolutions in favor OF some
permanent method of arbitration.
With popular sentiment now demand
| ing it why should not the two govern
ments move to bring it about +?
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Olney may
| we'll take the initiative in this matter.
Tho conclusion of treaty or the
creation of an international tribunal
for the settlement of difference between
the United States and England would
be an achievement which would render
Mr.. Cleveland's administration mem
orable and bring diplomatic fame to
Mr. Olney To the people of these
two great nations it would be a lasting
boon. It would put the peace and the
business prosperity of both beyond the
mischievous menace of jingoism and
would prove the surest buIwark
against those dangerous foreign en-
ltanglements which Washington SO
earnestly deprecated.
Such step taken by Great Britain
and the United States would inevita-
biz be followed by other countries.
Already the French Chamber of Depu
ties has called upon the government
to negotiate a permanent treaty of
arbitration with the United States.
That is a suggestion which our gov
eminent should welcome and act on.
There is no reason why treaties or
tribunals for the settlement of inter
national differences should not be as
common. as treaties of commerce, eX
tradition, sc. Every step toward
arbitration is, a step toward doing
away with standing armies and toward
welcome substitute for war. In this
matter the United States, as war
deploring and peace-loving nation,
should take the lead.
The time is most opporrune for Mr..
Cleyeland and Mr.. Olney to move tor
permanent international arbitration

1t is remarked as the policy of St.
Louis in the matter of city transit
that the car lines have been extended
to attract travel instead of waiting till
the needs of spreading population
made their establishment compulsory.
Here there does not seem to be taken
any cognizance of either prospective
profit in mere travel or the demands
of a spreading population. Even the
permanent patronage receives rather
laggard consideration.

given of the law, that as to stock
speculation the restrictions adopted
threaten to exclude from the German
exchanges a large class of American
and other industrials and mining and
railroad properties, and are especially
severe upon new prijects. In each eX
