Is 1t to Be Bluster or Business?

Arbitration can best he insisted on to
settle International disputes when we are
prepared To enforce 1t. and the point of
sword is more convincing argument OF
its necessity than bombastic ebullitions OF
the pen. Compare the military and naval
forces of this country with those OF any
of the six European powers with whom
we are likely to come in conflict and see
IL our present attitude on the Monroe doc
trine is either prudent or Justifiable.
Coincident with the adoption of tue Davis
resolution Congress should pass a measure
appropriating at least 500. 900, 900 to be-
gin active warlikc preparations. 1t would
be next to idiotic to offer such a threat to
Europe without III the same time demon
strating that we are In earnest. We not
only make ourselves ridiculous in the eyes
of the world, but also place ourselves in {
position to be hnmiiated. The country that
threatens war must be prepared to fight,
and if any of our jingo patriots con-
scentiously say we are prepared 10 sustain
the Monroe doctrine, they can also claim To
De possessed of ability TO write Il truthful
history of the moon.
The morning times., 1896-01-23

The difference in the way which this
country md England considers the veue-
zuelan controversy is best Illustrated by
contrasting gingerbread militiaman to
well equipped regular soldier. After
nearly two months of talk about the Mon
roe doctrine and IN absolute defiance Of
England by both Congress and the Presi-
dent, we have done nothing to prepare for
warlike demonstration, and are practi-
caily in n defenseiess condition. England
on the contrary, has poured an avalanche
OF war supplies into Canada and Nassau.
and has also mobiiized a fluet that would
bottle up New York and several other Of
our important sea coast cities. While we
have been entertaining the world with
an exhibition of jingo lunacy England has
quietly prepared for any emergency that
may arise from our buster about European
aggression.
This is no time TO daily with uncer-
tainties. If the Cnited States is to become
a protectora te for the WesterI Hemisphere.
in the name OF common sense let it be
done with a suitable army ard navy to
back our demands and ample defcnscs to
protect our important sea coast cities.

Put the Wires Under Ground.

One of the problems. the solution of which
must sooner or later engage the attention
of our municipal authorities, is the dis
position of the overhead telegraph, tele-
phone and electric light wires. They are a
continual source of annoyance and OF danger,
as has been too often demonstra ted to admit
of contradiction Public sentiment is almost
unanimous in favor of burying them. for thus
they would be put out OF harms way and an
unsightiy nuisance would be removed.
In ST. Louis the city council has recently
dealt very drastically with the subject. A
commission had considered the question
very carefully and when itsreport was made
recommending that the wires be placed
under ground the council promptly passedan
ordinance to that effect, and the different
companies will have to comply within n
given reasonable time. In Baltimore the
city fathers have also taken the matter in
hand and the disposition that Will be made
of 1t will probably be similar to that CT st.
Louis. Here in Washington the question
has been agitated in desultory fashion
and the only concern that has shown any
disposition whatever to meet the public
expectation and desire is the Chesapeake

SHOT A MAN on THE WING.

by Night.
Phtsbnrg Commercial l Ga zette.

Pntsburg Com mercial Ga zette.
Thelittlc mining hamlet OF Cranberry near r
HaZleton, Pa, has the distinction of having
a resident who has produced what is be-
lleyed to be the first successful airship.
The perfertor and inventor of this piece of
mechanism is d poor Lithunian. Jan Holod-
mock, who, under the pretensc of being i'll,
has held aloof from his fellow-countrymen
and devoted months oflabor and time to his
invention, which is jealousy guarded in the
attic OF his humble ,omc.
Lastn!ght Jan gathered hisa pparat tus, and, d,
bytraversing Hey in order not to ttra ct Il It.
tcntion succeeded in reaching IL huge culm
bank, which lowered like a miniature noun
tain high above the surrounding village.
From this elevation the inventor was to
jump INTO space. However. several OF the
villagers saw the queer looking form on top
of the cuim pile, resembling huge vam-
pirc. Like wildfire the report spread that
devil or some uncanny monster was ter
rorizing the village. The crowd rapidly in-
creased to an excited mob and several shots
were fired at Jan.
The inventor, realizing his danger leap
I'd from the bank. There was Tapping OF
wings and whirTing sound OF rapldiy re-
voiving prureIlers. and the air ship grace
fully floated over the heads Of the now
thoroughly frightened mob below One OF
them in the excitement aimed a rifle
at the air ship. Immediately at the dis
charge OF the gun 1t was seen that il had
taken effect. The machine was observed to
be falling rapidly and struck the earth with
considerable force.
The natives were at first afraid to ap-
proach the grewsome object, but the more
bold gradually drew near. They heard
moans issuing from the wreck OF the air
monster, and later what was their conster-
nation to recognize their fellow-country-
man encircled in a network of steel wires
and canvas. After being extricatcd none
the worse but for a few bruises, he ex-
planned matters TO the satisfaction of his
friends, and they assisted him TO carry his
machine home.
Jan claims that had it not been for the
rifle ball smashing one of the main levers
he would have demonstrated the power of
his machine to move in any direction, ascend
or descend and to fly against opposing cur
rents of air. The inventor says he Will re-
construct his machine. Tue secret Of its
manipulation he would not divulge. but in
timated that its movement was similar to
the natural flight of bird.

Those who have carefully followed the
history OF the downfall OF the Democratic
party know that it originated with the
creation of the cuckoo contingent ut the
beginning OF the administration. The
distress of the masses caused 10y the hard
times has also lost the Democracy many
votes, and ii may be safely asserted that
President Cleveland is responsible for

But one construction can be placed on
the opposition of the Commissioners TO
the granting of franchises to establish com
peting telephone and gas plants. The OBJ
lection they make that our streets should

when it is considered that as n cUmpersa-

of mOnopolistc prices. They also claim
the proper way to secure lower prices
for gas, telephone and electric light service
is to have them fixed by Congress in ac-

Thus FAR the Commissioners have made
no recommendations for reductions in the

OLD JAKEY'S GHOST.

Appears on His Farm and Tells How
to Get Rich.
What is believed to be the spirit OF the
late Jacob E. Stout. is wandering around
Springside, n suburb OF this city, says
a Burlington, Vt, special to the New York
World. on dark nights telling folks how
to make money, keep 1t, get wealthy.
In life Jacob was known to be q miscr,
and his family often felt his inexcuSable
pecuniary stringency. He is said 10 have
buried every cent of the large sum he
amassed. When he lied not a cent OF money
could be found in any bank or savings
Institution.
The present occupant of the farm is
Charles Allison. and he. by reason OF
spiritual visitation. is thinking about
moving next week. Allison said that
a few evenings ago, while sitting in
the house with his wife and family, an
apparition appeared before them. The
apparition was .Old Jakey." and after
surveying the surroundings he told them
so. He then told Mr.. Allison that
If he wanted to get rich he must plant
potatoes in the field beside the house.
With this the apparitiOn disappeared.
Mrs. Allison verifies her husband s
story, and both are indignant because
their neighbors are skeptical. William
Clayton. who lives in tenement on the Stout
farm, also claims to have seen 'Old Jakey."
Clayton alleges that he tried to tell him
how to raise hogs profitobly. Mrs. Harry
Fasick and others claim TO have heard
mysterious rappngs in the house.
