General James A. Williamson (re-
tiredD has been giving his views on the
question of arbitration to a New York
paper. He is a strong believer in the
principle. He says that questions aris-
ing between civilized nations can be
safely entrusted to settlement by arbi-
tration. He might almost be described
as fanatic on the question. For in
stance, he says that 1.-The principle of
arbitration should include not only the
arbitration of questions arising be-
tween nations, but should also embrace
the policy, right and power of the ma
tons not parties to the controversy
but whose interests and well-being are
to be endangered by it, to arbitrate
and enforce a proper and right settle
ment of the matters in issue. That
the states of Europe should by arbi-
tration determine and enforce the
rights of Armenia and Greece; and the
governments of North America should
determine and enforce the rights of
Cuba. And so should all cases similar
10 those named be settled by arbitra-
ton, as they may arise
From this it must be understood that
General Williamson is in favor of fight
ing for the principle of arbitrationa in
other words, in favor of doing evil that
good may come. When one or two or
three nations undertake to dictate to
other nations what they shall do, there
is sure to be trouble in enforcing their
mandates Some people in Europe
think that the lynchings in the United
States are an outrage upon civiliza-
ton and humanity, as they are, and
would no doubt be glad to have Eu-
rope unite to demand that they be
stopped. But Uncle Sam would be
very apt to pull his coat off and tell
Europe to try to stop them, if Europe
undertook to stop them. And at the
same time Uncle Sam would condemn
lynchings as strongly as anybody. The
interference with his rights OF sover-
eighty would be the thing that would
stir him up. And Interference with
the rights of sovereignty of other ma
lions stirs them up, too Yet this is
what General Williamson proposes. Let
each nation attend to it's own affairs

THE SALT Lake HERALD: THURSDAY. MARCH 20, 1897.

MISSIONS findings of fact were in ac-
cord with those of the American. com
mission. DR.. Jordan says the only pos
slbie settlement Of the fur-sea1 ques-
ton lies in the total prohibition of
pelagic sealing, and that Great Britain
VIII therefore doubtless be asked to
unite with the United States in an ar
rangement whereby the killing of fe-
males at sea can be done away with
To such an arrangement he, thinks
Great Britain will consent. He also
says that it is the intention of the
present administration to bring to a
speedy end the present diminishing
condition of the herd The doctor con-
dennis 1.-The silly proposition of the
senate foreign relations committee
made year ago, to destroy the fur
seal herd before making any serious at
tempt to save it,
If the fur seals can be saved from ex-
termination they should be- Their
destruction has been wanton. DR.. Jor-
dan says that pelagic sealing should be
prohibited. But this cannot be done
except by an international agreement.
That Great Britain would be willing to
enter into such an agreement is very
likely. Her relations with this country
were never more amicable than now,
and she evinces every desire to keep
them amicable. Into any international
arrangement intended to be effectual in
preventing pelagic sealing it would be
necessary that Russia and Japan enter.
This would not be difficult of ac-
complishment, as both countries are in
terested in the preservation of the fur
seals rather than in their extermina-
ton. If such an agreement were en-
tered into by the four nations above
mentioned, of course it would not be
binding upon any nation not a party
to it.
The prohibition of pelagic scaling, if
accomplished, should be followed by
the total prohibition of sealing of any
kind for number of years if possible.
At present things seem suspicious for
doing something to preserve the fur
seal from determination. 4

The decision of the United States SUI
preme court against passenger and
traffic associations is one of the most
important handed down for long time.
In it's effects it will be very far reach
one can say at this juncture. The rail-
roads long since learned the folly Of
cutting each others Threats, and they
will hardly resort to that kind of
policy again. The decision raises this
very important question: If passenger
and traffic associations are Illegal why
are not trusts? And why cannot the
law against them be enforced?

With the debates over the tariff bill
row on in congress it seems almost as if
the country was in the midst of presi-
Dental campaign. There is no other
congressional news but what relates to
the tariff. and there will not be Until
it is disposed of. 1t should be disposed
of as quickly as possible that the
country may begin the process of read
justment of its business interests to
what will be changed conditions. At
present it is the one absorbing topic for
discussion by the press and the people,
and the sooner it is out of the way the
better. for it is evident that the ma
jority in congress intends to use its
strength like a giant. If the country
were not discussing tariff it would be
discussing something else, so it doesn't
make much difference.

The good health of a community
is its best advertisement, to build
up any place. We are much inter
ested IN the future of Whitwell, and
shall gladly encourage anything for
Its benefit. That the prevalence of
fever there is caused by local causes
we are more than satisfied. Now,
how is this to be remedied. A mat
ter of such vital Importance should
be seen to at once, and we are aston
lshed to hear, which we did not even
suspect, that the Sequachee river
may be and probably is an important
contributor to the prevailing malarial
condition. We are told that trees
are cut on I. banks and the debris
thrown into the river where it rots
and becomes the nursery Of bacllli
and other miasmatic influences. A
clean river is a public benefit, dirty
one a nuisance OF the worst kind.

Mhitwen Coal Mining.


Last week the News referred in
its Whitwell department to an art-
icle on Whitwell coal which was to
have been printed in that edition.
Unfortunately for the article, it was
crowded out by rush of advertising
matter, but is now printed for what
it Is worth. Next week the NEWS
will come out as a siH-column folio,
all-home print sheet, and we will not
be so crowded with advertising as
we have been. The article reads
thus.
Last Monday a News reporter
paid visit to Capt. G. II. Crozier,
Superintendent of the Thomas mines
belonging to the 7. O., l. 81 r. r.
Co., at Whitwell, Tenn, and found
the Capt. looking as if he was en-
joying life. The reporter was cord
tally received, and the Capt. being
engaged in making sign to hang in
front of the signal Office at the foot
OF the incline, the reporter learned
that there had been a slight accident
there recently which resulted in
three cars leaving the track, on &C
count of a misplaced SWITCH and
that 1t had been al done by inatten-
ton to duty. No lives were lost,
and the damage had been slight.
The Capt. also said said that thera
had been very few accidents of any
kind for two years and in fact, re-
markable record had been establish
ed.
Some $50 to 400 men are being
employed now, and forty of them
are employed in making coke and
loading the cars at the foot Of the
incline. The mines are now running
full time, and the output is between
$50 to 1000 tons day.
The new coal shute and tipple at
at the mouth of the mines is doing
phenomenal work and the Capt. is
well satisfied with it. 1t saves the
labor of several men who are now
employed in other work, and the re-
suit is a greater facility in handling
the coal as it comes from the noun
tain.
The conversation then turned on
the proposed blowing in Of Furnace
No. 2 at So. Pittsburg, and in an
swer to the direct question from the
reporter whether this would benefit
the coke trade at either Whitwell or
Victoria, the Capt. said eonclusiyely
that it would not, that there was al
ready an over-production of coke at
Tracy City, and the I. G. l. Co.
would get its supply from there; that
it costs too much to handle coal twice
to burn coke at Victoria, and that it
consequently does not pay the Com
pany to do so.
1t is too bad that the ovens at
Victoria cannot be put to some use.
If a market could be secured for the
output, they might be used in the
manufacture Of charcoal.
The. outlook for the coal business
this winter is good, and Thomas
mines will keep a large force Of
miners at work.
