The Arbitration r,,. aty,

NV = IVY
1t is manifestly the duty of the re-
publican party press to see and make
plain the fact that if the treaty of ar
bitration be defeated by a republican
senate or by republican votes, with the
object of depriving a democratic adj
ministration of the honor of complet-
ing it. no other effect will be realized
than the added honor of this admins
tration and the added dishonor of the
United States senate and the republi-
can party.
The best and brightest journals APP
preciate this and are trying hard to
save the treaty and the credit of the
purity.
If they succeed, despite the appar-
ent purpose of that political mango
still known and recognized, but not
honored, as the United States senate
they will not onlysave the party honor
but will greatly honor the press, while
they, with the help of the senate, still
further illustrate the full ripeness OF
that intended reform by which the
election of United States senators is
to be left to the people instead of the
more easily corruptible and often cor.
rupted state legislatures.

Bell-like Tones Not Always a Gift Of Na-
ture. but May He Acquired.
The power of the highest interpreta-
ton of music in song is vouchsafed to
but few favored mortals and is not to be
acquired by any amount of endeavor, if
the true golden throat" with finely
adjusted chorde v~ocales, be lacking. A
voice Of sweet and mellow quality in
speaking, however, is not always q graz
cious gift Of nature, but is a possible at
tainment to persons of the most ordinary
musical capacity. Aprima donna spends
scarcely more time practicing her scales
than an ambitious actress devotes to the
cultivation of a ringing, bell-like into
nation to her sentences, for public speak
ers and people of the theatrical profess
sion understand the value of vibrant
tones, Of the Thrilling, solemn, proud,
pathetic voice." whose echoes linger
long i'll the memory Of the inthralled
listener.
Among we'll bred people low voices
are the rule-low. but not always music
al, a tendency to falsetto marking any
effort beyond ordinary conversation.
which is simply an evidence of the lack
Of proper training, or of a failure to
practice those primary principles of elo.
cution that are a part Of the briefest
common school education.
Lessons under u teacher are not an
absolute necessity to the woman who
would secure the grace Of clear. sweet
accents. Deep breathing and chest ex-
pansion are tho first steps toward the
desired end, and a systematic course Of
throat strengthening, combined with
enough discernment to decide between
a nasal twang and pure tone. is about all
that is needed to achieve q fair degree
Of success.
An excellent method of strengthening
the throat is gargling with cold salt
water in the morning, bathing it at the
same time. first with very hot and then
with very cold water. 1t thus gets a
slight shock and is braced up and per-
manently benefited. New York Jour-
