JEDGES AS ARBITRATORS.

The report that the arbitratOrs of the Ven
ezuelan boundary question were TO be selected
by the Chief Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court and the Lord Chief Justice Of
England appears to be without foundation. 1t
Is probably better that the tribunal should be
established in the ordinary way by the execu-
tive authority Of the two governments. New
ertheless. the rumor that the appointments
would he vested in the judges, though involving
a remarkable innovation in the conduct of in
ternational relations was much in line
with present tendencies that 1t was readily
believed
International law. like municipal law, Is an
evolution, and more and more men come to
believe that abstract principles Of justice
should govern their collective as well as their
individual conduct The day Of personal en-
counter private redress of wrongs and trial
by ordeal has gone by in all highly civilized
communities. The hard and fast rules Of law
systems themselves are all the time being
broadened to make equity dominate over tech
ncality In their application. Foreign offices
respond to the same sentiments which dOmi-
nate the law courts. War was recognized as
a nee, ssary and even proper incident Of in
ternatOnal relations in the earlier attempts to
evolve some mode Of living between peoples.
International law was for centuries perhaps
rather more concerned in seeing that war was
conducted decently and in order than In pre-
venting 1t. 1t was in the duclling and ordeal
stage. Diplomacy. however came to conduct
affairs in intervals Of peace, and the tradition
of diplomacy has been the practice Of deceit
and the Overreaching Of neighbOrs Talley-
rand or Metternich would never have
dreamed that truth and fair dealing belonged
In his profession. But that tradition Is pass
ing. The same ethical views which have de-
manded arbitration as a substitute for war
have demanded that nations, like individuals
who invoke equity must do equity and that
they must meet each other in good faith and
use court Of arbitration, not to gain adj
vantage by sharp practice but to reach just
conclusion.
SO now we have suggestions that the dipl0-
mat give way to the judge. that even the
appearance of international bargaining be laid
aside and that international advocates shall
have nothing to do with forming international
courts. but that the task be intrusted to
Powers the furthest possible removed from

ClTSES or IRISH DISTRESS.

Another season Of distress In Ireland seems
TO be at hand. Reports. especially from the
western counties are Onnous. ON the hill

summer made the potato crop failure On the
richer lowlands. where the effects Of the drouth

in India have been due largely To lack of fa-

1879, when America was sending flour and DO

The conservative government in Can

Manitoba school question, finds that it
is losing it's grip on the Canadian voters

next election. 1t has just met defeat
in bye-election in the province of Quebec

and where it expected success on account
of it's attitude on the Manitoba school
