CONCEALED WEAPONS.

The practice Of carrying concealed
weapons Ia INDUCED in to ON alarming
extent in this State, especially by the
ignorant and disreputable. The legis :
1ature should take the matter under
consideration Snd devise some means
for preventing. at least to some extent,
the reprehensible practice. Most OF the
murders that disgrace tho State are the
results OF whiskey and the ready re-
volve.. Many q killing occurs from dis
putes that might not even result in e
personal encounter but for tho fac. that
one or both of the parties involved are
"braced up" with the knowledge OF the
possession Of o weapon to hvenge their
imagined Insults or wrongs.
Keep deadly weapons out Of TIE
hands Of the depraved and irresponsible
and the criminal costs TO the State will
not only be very materially lessened,
but the sayihg Of many lives will re-
suit. AS to what are the boss means
for abating this nuisance there Is hardly
any doubt but tina. II our Legislators
will ses themselves to work In earnest
to mitigate the evil. great good will be
effected by legislation along this llns.

to believe from the character and abll-
ity Of the mon appointed, that they will
do their work WE'LL Al first 1t was not
thought that Great Britain would have
anything to do with tho commissions;
but the impression is growing in Wash
ington that her indirecs participation in

JANUARY.
NOE YET PLEASED,

The fact that no subscriptions to the
new issue OF United States bonds will be
taken in London Is strong indication
that the people of Great Britain are
still in spiteful mood towards this
country. and that but . very slight
breeze is needed to fan the slumbering
embers OF Indignation into the raging
flames OF unrelenting war. The Eng
lish, however, should remember that
the proposal of the United States to ar
bitrate the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute WAS made in the interests OF justice
and humanity. and that the course of
their government in the Corinto affair,
coupled with the almost disdainful re-
jeotion of arbitration was cslculsted
to call forth spiris Of Independence
and resentment on the part OF the
American people.
At the time OF the Corinto incident it
was reported that British officers in
that expedition alluded sneeringly to
the Monroe doctrine as myth, and in
ttmetcd that the movement against
Nicaragua was ss much to demonatrste
this RIB it was to collect the British
claim for indemnity, So far as money
is concerned, the United States can bor-
row all it necdo from Germany or Rus
STA; but il is hoped. In the interest Of
peace and good will, that our relatives
ucrcss the wator Will modify their re-
sentiment at President Clsveland's
sturdy advocacy of the Monroe doctrine,
and agree on settlement OF pending
differences honorable alike to both
countries.

"rne doctrine formulated by President

in American national policy that there
Is no room for doubt as to the opinion
of our people concerning IL.
New York now has a population nearly
equal to that of tho entire Union when
Mr.. Monroe became President and our
peculiar geographical position, the To-
cation within our borders OF the Ameri-
can metropolis and the vast and COM
plicated commercial interests OF our
State. justify us in feeling an especial
cor Germ in tho present unhappy sgita-
tlon. Any disturbance OF the existing
friendly relations between the United
States and Great Britain cannot fail to
have serious effect. Because of the
possible baneful consequences OF such
disturbance l deem myself justified In
making this reference to the larger af-
fairs Of the nation, in which we feel
such peculiar and vital interest.
~ cannot believe that the relations
between our country and Great Britain
will be ruptured or seriously impaired
by the Misunderstanding now existing
between this country and Venezuela
concerning the proper location of the
boundary line Of their possessions in
South America. Arbitration affords q
simple, humane and honorable method
Of determining nstional disputes; and 1t

the worlds history that any CREST nation
is willing to take the responsibility OF

ninety eight votes to forty-aix cast for

In the house, Mr.. O'Grady (aep)
offered a resolution that arbitration

In the senate q resolution of the

by agreement, on him last night.
Governor Btadley's name will not be
considered as Vice. Presidential can
didate under any circumstsnces. Rather
than accept this he would prefer re-
naming governor of the State OF Ken

occur among the other Presidenisl
candidates he Will be turned In spite OF
the fact that he is south OF the Ohio.
