rough draft of the proposed charter provoked
favorable criticism in Brooklyn yesterday on the
part Of people naturally interested In municipal
affairs There are. Of course. good many people
in Brooklyn who believe that Messrs. Dewitt
and Dean and their colleagues VIII have TO re-
draft the charter, and The Tribune reporters
met a number VINO thought they could make a
better charter themselves. Many representative
citizens are out Of town for the summer. Those
who were seen. however. discussed the charter
with avidiiy. and some frank enough to
say that the charter was about as good already

toms union is formed which will give
the English manufacturer the advan-
tage in the markets of the British colo
MES and the colonies an advantage over
other competitors in the English and
colonial markets. Such a union would
be based upon the idea which underlies
the Republican theory of reciprocity in
connection with a protective tariff. The
tariff union Of which Mr.. Chamberlain
speaks practically ignores the British
policy of free trade: still. it seems the
only one which can be devised to bring
Great Britain and her colonies into
closer trade relations which must be
more potential In fostering the national
idea than a reliance on mere sentiment.
1t must be evident that If such a tariff
union should be formed. which would
give British goods the advantage yer
others in Canadian markets, Canada
must look to Great Britain for her mar
kets and thereby be drawn closer to
her. At the same time such a discrimi-
nation in favor of Great Britain would
be followed by a responsive policy on
the part Of the United States. When
the competing merchandise Of Great
Britain shall be admitted to Canada
with lower rates of duty than those of
the United States we shall be pretty
certain to make Canada pay for the
discrimination it has made to our in
jury. AS the United States is Canada's
best customer, it may not be so very
enthusiastic over Mr.. Chamberlain's
tariff union.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.


NEW YORK. March A.-The committee on
international arbitration of the New York
State Bar Association held a meeting to-day.
The committee was appointed for the pur-
pose Of formulating a plan for the organiza-
ton of a court Of arbitration for the settle
ment OF differences that may arise between
the governments Of Eng~hsH-speaking people.
Correspondence has already been had with
the officers Of all the State bar associations,
and it is expected that they will cooperate
with the New York State Bar Association in
the scheme. Soon after converting the COM
mittee went into executive session. All OF
the members of the committee were present
except Mr.. Depew. When adjournment was
taken, subject to the call of the chairman,
Secretary Smith said that the subcommittee,
consisting of Walter S. Logan and w. Mar
tin Jones. had presented a plan for interna-
adopted. and probably would not be until
several more meetings. have been held and all
the details discussed and fully considered.
viii be submitted to President cievel Rla in
a memorial, but this will not be done until
a general meeting has been held of all the
State bar associations Of the country.
Some Of the State bar associations which
c cats ooe and sisniie Tlt ibe sne i nem fo1k to aS ao-
point arbitration committees 10 act in har-
mony with the New York committee are the
State Bar Association of Maine, the state
Bar Association OF West Virginia. the State
Bar Association of Wisconsin, the New Mex
leo State Bar Association. the Georgia Bar
Association, the New Hampshire Bar Asso-
citation, the Connecticut State Bar Associa-
ton, the Missouri Bar Association, the Bar
Association of the District of Columbia, the
Iowa Bar Association, the Virginia Bar As
ISOLATION and the Michigan Bar Association.
President Whitaker said that the plan sub
mitted by the subcommittee provided for the
organization or a permanent international
tribunal. The bar associations throughout
the country and in Great Britain are On SYM
pathy with the movement. The features OF
the plan provide for the naming BY the
United States government and Great Britain
of judicial officers, who shall constitute a
court for the settlement OF all diplomatic
differences that shall arise between the two
nations.

their value for settlement. Not includ-
ing Alaska, there are $50. 600. 900 acres
now open to settlement. These are large
figures, but. while they are one-third OF
the entire territory of the country. the
quantity OF LAND which can be TILED
without irrigation and which is open TO
settlement Is so small as to be insig-
niicant. A few years ago such rose
coloTed reports were made regarding the
possibilities Of irrigating the great tracts
of arid lands that IL was assumed that
a large part of them could be made
available for tillage. Subsequent sur
veys and practical investigation AVE
made 1t clear that only a very small
portion of such lands can be made avail
able by irrigation. In view Of such
facts. it is predicted hat farm lands
are sure to appreciate in value in the
purse of a very few years. which
causes the Secretary Of Agriculture to
advise those who have farms to stick to
them.

COL. CHrNN TO ENTER POLITICS.

A Frankfort, KY, dispatch says the
friends there Of Col. Jack Chinn are
authorized to that he will be
a candidate for State Senator from that
district at the next election. The taste
Of political excitement which he has
recently had has doubtless given him a
desire for further experience in that
line and perhaps convinced him that he
has an undeveloped talent for states
manship. Intimate association with
Senator Blackburn during his campaign
for reelection may ave suggested to
the Colonel that Ii does not take much
of a man to be United States Senator,
and that the State Senate is a very good
starting point. A young man who went
West at an early day wrote back to his
father: Hurry up. pap, and come out
here soon as ever you can; mighty mean
men get into Office here" Recent
events may have led Colonel hin to
conclude that very ordinary men some
times get to the United States Senate,
from Kentucky.
The Colonel possesses one prime quail
ncation fors political success in that he
is an orator. This is almost indis-
pensable to success in politics anywhere,
but particularly In Kentucky. where the
combination Of climate and soil, of blue
grass. lime water. ETC.. seems to be as
prolific OF oratory as OF fast horses.

cHAMBERLAIN's TARIFF UNION.

The speech of Minister Chamberlain
advocating imperial unity for Great
Britain n her dependencies is not the
dream of an enthusiast, but the idea of
a statesman. Nor is he the first En-
glishman to think of it, since it has been
talked of for years. or. rather. alluded
to as something which might be de-
sirable. The wonder is that the states
manship of Great Britain has not un-
dertaken something OF the kind. The
colonial system of Great Britain does
not seem to serve all the purposes for
which that government seeks to gain
territory. So long as Great Britain was
practically without a competitor in the
general Of the world, her
products controlling the markets of
other nations, her ships carrying nearly
all the merchandise and bringing to her
people the food and raw materials, the
present colonial system served it's pur-
pose. But this is another era OF the
not pay tribute to Great Britain. Other
nations have become competitors. and
by laws and treaties many markets
have been closed to her merchants.
Clinging to her free-traGe maxims,
Great Britain has not secured, through
the tariff legislation of her colonies or
those OF Parliament, much advantage
over other competitors. All the more
important OF her colonies not only have
protective tariffs, but they do not afford
the mother country any advantage
whatever. Canada's protective duties
are the same upon the merchandise of
England as upon that of the United
States. Consequently. in trade the
colonial relation of Canada to Great
Britain is of no advantage whatever.
Evidently the statesmen OF the pres
emit Ministry rave reached the conclu-
sion that the time has come to insure
TO Great Britain the advantage which
the home governments relation to its
colonies can give IL the policy of free
trade Is tacitly abandoned and a Gus

The C1ays. the Marshalls. the Breckin-
ridges, the Wickliffes, the Crittendens
and other Kentucky families have made
the State famous for oratory. and some
Of their members have been distin-
guished in higher fields of statesman
ship. Senator Blackburn is not exactly
a great orator. but he is a very fluent
and loud talker, and with many people
that passes for oratory. If Senator
Blackburn possessed valuable informa-
ton on any subject or had anything of
Importance to SAL he could probably
say 1t as loud as any other man in the
Senate. 1t is not known whether Col.
Chinn Is as loud a speaker as Senator
Blackburn, but his oratory is said to be
very effective. The only speech of his
reported in full is one he made in Frank
fort after the recent adjournment Of
the Legislature. The meeting was called
to censure the Governor for using the
militia to preserve the peace during the
closing hours of the Legislature. On
this occasion Colonel Chinn, being
called on for a speech. said:
We did not do anything but just stand
around and obey orders. They told me that
not go into the House, and IL. had gotten

and that's a fact. Well, these feilers thought
It was cheaper to bring them soldiers here
on, and when 1t was all over TO stand around
and gently lift the sheets off the still forms
and say. Don't they look naturai?"
Although several other speeches were
made during the evening, this brief ad-
dress Of Colonel Chinn is said to nave
caused more enthusiasm than all the
rest combined. 1t wasd evidently un-
studied, but in politics extemporaneous
speaking is always the most effective.
The great Kentuckians who nav made
the State famous for oratory always
spoke extemooraneously, OF at least
without manuscript or notes. Colonel
Chinn's style is not that of Henry Clay
or any of the orators of that school,
yet there is a simplicity and directness
about 1t peculiarly its own. 1.-The bust

easily feel that to please people is a
great step towards persuading them"
Colonel Chinn's oratory seems to be
based on this idea, and If he continues
to develop On that line there is no tell
ing what heights of popularity he may
reach. OF course. the mere announce
ment that he will be a candidate for
State Senator will insure his nomina-
ton and election, and in due time he
will graduate into national politics.
Henry Clay began his political career
in the State Legislature. and. IL one
may use the juxtaposition, so did Sen
ator Blackburn. 9Ssolosfh Z
