Arbitration Advocated.

In the house of commons, February
II, l.. Atherly-J ones, (radicaD moved
an amendment to the address in reply
to the queens speech, deploring the
absence from the speech from the
throne of an assurance that the whole
boundary dispute with Venezuela will
be referred to arbitration in accordance
with the suggestion of the United
States. In speaking to his motion Mr..
AtherlJ-Jones decl ,red that Great Brit
ain had seven times changed the boun-
dairy between British Guiana and Vene-
zuela, and asked how it conld be
claimed that the territory in dispute
could be outside the pale of arbitration.
Mr.. Balfour, government leader in
the house, appealed to the house not
to continue the debate. He declared
that he was of the opinion that the
continuation of the debate would not
serve the purpose Mr.. Atherly j ones
had in view, as it would not make an
honorable solution of the difficulty
easier. He therefore hoped that the
house, realizing how grave were the
issues at stake, would not further dis
cuss on this occasion the policy which
had been pursued or would be pursued.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
liberal leader in the house, said he was
glad that the amendment had been
moved in the interests of arbitration,
but he did not think he could insist that
the amendment was the best way to
attain the end in view. Of course such
an amendment could not be accepted
by the government, and must, if
pressed to division, be lost by large
majority. Ii that happened it would go
forth to America that the house had
pronounced against arbitration, a.
though he was convinced that that was
the end all wished to be attained.
(Cries of Hear, hearl'D
What the house had to do was to
show that there was no difference of
opinion on the subject. He was per-
fectly certain that both inside and out.
side of the house the consensus of
opinion was in favor of peaceful arbi-
tration. Their main object ought to
be to express such an opinion. 1t
could not be done by joining issue on
the amendment. There seemed to be
a tendency in certain quarters to think
that the United States had acted in a
sudden and offensive manner. As a
matter of fact they had been press
ing for settlement of the question
for the last ten years, always in q
most friendly spirit. (Cries of "Hear"
hear! ~ Every effort ought to be
made to remove all causes of irrita-
ton. He trusted that no further delay
would occur, and that everything would
be done to bring about speedy settle
ment. He appealed to Mr.. Atherly-
Jones to withdraw his amendment,
which was done, the speaker checking
an attempt on the part of the Irish
members to continue the discussion.

A Regiment OF Relatives.

There is a movement in Horny
county, South Carolina, for the erection
OF monument to the Confederate dead
of the Tenth Regiment South Caro-
lima Volunteers. This regiment had in
it one company that became somew
famous for its composition, as well as
its fighting qualities. The Athens Ban
ner has been studying up the history
of the regiment. 1t tells us that it was
made up entirely of men from dozen
or more families, and they were about
all related to each other. There were
some ten Chestnuts, fourteen Johnsons,
six or seven Affords and 80 on. The
captain OF the company was cousin of
nearly every man in the ranks who was
not his brother. 1t was his custom in
drilling to address his men in the most
kindly manner, somewhat in this way:
" Cousin Jeems, dress to the right;
Buddy-George, please swell your chest
Cousin Arthur, you want to turn toe
out, not in" But when it came to fight
there were no more brave or daring
fellows in the service than the Tenth
Regiment "Butternut Company

Let Speaker Reed Alone.

The Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed
may be found on every business day at
his regular place of business, attending
conscientiously to the duties with
which he has been charged by the
Fifty-fourth Congress. These are
multitudinous and exacting enough to
drive nervous man crazy, and even to
make stupid man nervous. In addi-
ton to his ordinary functions as presid-
ing officer of the house of representa-
tives, Mr.. Reed is compelled by circum-
stances to handle that hardest of sub
jects, an unwieldly partisan majority,
composed of republicans of widely dif-
ferent notions and interests, and in
Guiding large proportion of new
members fresh from grass aud frisky
as young colts.
This is an enormous job, even for q
statesman who is not also a candidate.
Speaker Reed faces it with his accus-
toned tranquility Of demeanor. Sin yly
responsible for the preservation of re-
publican harmony in congress in the
year OF presidential election, and for
the maintenance of the interests of the
whole party as against factional freaks
or individual ambitions, he stands
there at the desk a rather noble and
majestic figure, his upper lip barred to
the fury of the storm.
This aspect of Mr.. Reeds candidacy
10 overlooked by our esteemed republi-
can contemporaries. The speakers posi-.
ton ia in one important respect quite
different from that of any OF his com
petitors for the republican nomination.
Ihey are free, most of them, to de vol @
their undivided energies to the further
ance OF their personal conceptions.
They don't have to attend to the com.
mon cause. But he is loaded with their
interests as well as his own. Morton
and Mckinley, and Allison and QUAY
all depend upon the Hon. Thomas
Bracket Reed to hold the house well in
hand, to keep all the republican con-
gressmen in line, to suppress the fools
and the lightheads, and to wind up the

session in m mn conducive to re
vember.
Mr.. Reed, as speaker, therefore, is
not merely the representative of Mr..
Reeds canvass for the presidential
nomination. He is also the trustee OF
the fortunes and hopes Of Mckinley
Morton, Quay, Allison, and all the rest,
il others there be. II the speaker
should devote too much thought to mat
ters personal to himself, and too little
attention to the general welfare of the
party, and crash and catastro phe
should occur in his department of re-
publican politics, of how much value in
November would be the nomination OBJ
tanned in June by Mr.. Morton, Mr.. Nc
Kinley, Mr.. A lison, Mr.. Quay, or any
other chap whatsoever?
Probably the Hon. Thomas Bracket
Reed foresaw the altruistic RESPONSE
bilities which his election as speaker
would thrust upon him, and accepted
them in his large, serene way with his
eyes fully open to their inconvenient
char ,cter, considered from the point
of view OF mere selfish ambition. If

more of Reed man, we can well I'M
derstand that he would have allowed
some other fellow to. wear himself out
in the speakers chair for the sake Of
Mr.. Mckinley, Mr.. Quay, Mr.. Morton
and Mr.. Allison.
Under these circumstances, we re-
gard as particularly ungraceful and un-
grateful the persistent attempts of the
promoters of rival ambitions to force
the speaker to commit himself on this
issue or that, in the hope of damaging
hi n as a candidate. And the report
that while the Hon. Thomas Bracket
Reed is at his post in Washington,
looking after the interests of his rivals
equally with his own, the friends of
Major Mckinley, for example, are en-
deavoring to break into and loot Mr..
Reeds modest little private collection
of Southern delegates, is too hideous to
be believed.-New York Sun.

SENATOR MoRRILL's eighty-six years
OF age sit lightly upon him. His speech
condemning the silver substitute for
the bond bill was one Cf the most eff
fective which has been made in either
branch of congress in recent years.
The Vermont statesman has been q
champion of sound finance from the
beginning. He opposed the legal ten.
der act of 1852, and it is probable that
II the measure he advocated in prefer.
ence to that act had been passed most
OF the country's financial ills of later
day would have been averted.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
SENATOR HAwLEY Of Connecticut
deserves the public thanks for Offering
opposition yesterday to the passage of a
bill making Lincoln's birthday a ma
tionsl holiday. He expressed the COM
nonsense view when he remarked that
he did not wish to act ungraciously in
the matter, but that he was opposed to
creating any more national holidays,
as he wished to save the United States
from the extreme into which some for
eign countries have run, through the
creation of 80 many saints days that
people are seriously deprived of oppor-
tunities to work. The necessity of call
ing halt was illustrated when Mr..
Hill announced that he had proposed
to amend the Lincoln bill by making
Jackson's birthday a national holiday.
And ii Jackson's, why not Jefferson's?
Above all, why not Monroe's, who is
the one president credited with the
creation of doctrine? The truth is
that it is absurd to go one step beyond
"the Father of His Country" in this
matter of birthday cele bration, 80 large
is the number of "favorite sons" We
hope that Senator Hawley will stand
hrm.-New York Evening Post.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-02-26

That is, very nearly two-thirds of the
republican senators were for sound
money, and only little over one-third
OF the democrats were on that side.
Of course, all of the populists were for
free coinage. The extent of the sound
money sentiment, as everybody was
aware, is seen by this test to be much
greater in the republican party than it
ls in the democracy. But this test is
not quite fair to the republican party.
The silver-producing states are all
dominated by the republicans except
Nevada, and as all of them are small
the republican silver strength in the
senate is abnormally great. On vote
in the house of representatives the re-
publicans would make still better
showing. In the republican party free
silver sentiment has only slight hold
outside of the mining states. The
question of whether this free silver
minority of the republicans will dictate
the course of the majority in the St..
Louis convention is arousing good
deal OF discussion in the democratic
press. There need be no uncertainty
on this point, however. The majority
will rule, as they do in all republican
national gatherings. A sound money
policy will be adhered to rigidly and
fearlessly. There will be no departure
from the course which has been pur-
sued hitherto by the republicans. The
party which passed the act of 1869 to
strengthen the public credit, and which
enacted the law of 1875, that brought
every dollar of the country's currency
up to the gold level in 1879 and kept it
up ever since, will be true to its tradi.
tions. Individual republicans, on ac-
count of local considerations and tran.
sient prejudices, may 60 astray on the
finance question, but the republican
party, which is national and eternal, is
not swayed by such considerations. -
