ACCEPTS

The controversy between Japan and
Hawaii, relating principally to the ques-
ton of admitting Japanese immigrants
into the latter country, is to be settled
by arbitration. This result of the ne
gotiations between the two governments
was reported some days ago to be prob
able and our government has now been
officially informed of it, 1t is a conces-
sion on the part of Japan and it carries
with it the assurance of that powers
acceptance of the principle of arbitra-
ton. There is m Importance and sig
niticance In this which should not es-
cape attention. 1t means that there is
no ground for the assumption in some
quarters of a warlike disposition on the
part or Japan. The idea has prevailed
to a considerable extent in England and
perhaps elsewhere that the easy victory
of Japan over China had imbued the
Japanese with an ambition to further
demonstrate their prowess. That coun-
try has done nothing to justify this view,

God of our fathers. known of old
Lord of our far-tlung battle line
Beneath Whose awful Hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains ana the kings depart;
Sun stands Thine ancient Sacrifice.
An humble and a %contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
Far-cal'ed our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the fire
LO. all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet.
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
If, drunk with sight Of power, we loose
WILD tongues that have not Thee in aWe-
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Dr. lesser breeds without the Law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget-lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron slard-
All valiant dust and builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!
Amen.

Nothing could be more cruel. especially In
the hot weather. than the overhead check
rein with which so many horses on our
streets are tortured. 1t Is torture, unneces-
sary and wicked, because 1t is inflicted on
suffering animals for no reason but a per-
yerted taste on the part Of the owners. The
fault Is more prevalent among the drivers
of fine vehicles and expensive, well-bred
horse e than 1t is among poorer classes, but 1t
Is pretty general all over the city. The
check-reln may be a necessity, but there is
never a need OF it's being drawn so tight
that the animals head Is pulled back into
a strained and difficult position. his nose
sticking out like a deer's. his eyes turned
upward for the sun to burn and blind. Let
the owner of a horse that is checked in this
way try 1t himself; let him tie his head back
till his face is turned to the heavens and
walk around in the sun. A merclful man

A Very Costly Honor.

81. TgUUTN
England's enlargement of her navy, when
is startling some people in that country and
many people out of it, is really only a nat
ural business proceeding. England's world
empire compels her to have a navy as strong
as any other two or three nations combined,
and this necessity forces her to build many
new war vessels every year. 1t is a great
honor to be a country which, in Webster's
words, has dotted over the surface of the
whole globe with her possessions and mill
tary posts, whose morning drum beat, fol-
lowing the sun and keeping company with
the hours, circles the earth with one con-
tinuous and unbroken strain" Of her mar
tial airs" but that honor costs a good deal
of money.

Soon will be upon us the days of the
genuine old-fashioned populist picnic.
Other communities may enjoy the pleas
ures of the clambake, the fishfry and the
barbecue, but 1T is not vouchsafed to
everybody to drink at the fountain of
knowledge and taste of the oratorical
food which the annually recurring popu-
list picnic regularly brings into evidence.
At these picnics the remedies are sug-
gested for all the ills that human society
and earthly governments are heir to, and
it is only the fault of the people who
will not recognize their salvation that
they have not long since brought the
millennium. While h e noble institution
of the populist picnic survives, refreshing
10Th the inner man and the thirst for
learning at the same time. the future
of the republic may be said to be safe.

OUR WANT.

With. the tariff law giving adequate
protection to American industries and
our financial system on n sound basis;
with II currency supply equal to every
legitimate demand and n steadily grow
ing domestic and foreign commerce, the
United States must go steadily onward
in the development Of its material re-
sources. But our progress would be
more rapid if one great want We're sup
plied-a merchant marine equal to the
demands of our ommerce. This is now
our greatest requirement, 1t Is the point
in which we are weakest in competition
with the commercial nations of the
world. And until this want is supplied
his country will not be able to achieve
that commercial supremacy which it

A special London correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, writing in regard
to methods for promoting the export
trade of the United States, lays particu-
lar stress upon this matter of a mer-

absurd that last year only IL per cent of

pressed by the Department that the
persons behind the scheme have no
idea of being permitted to occupy the
land but that they will, after inter-
esting a large number of persons in 1t,
cease their operations. No particular
rendezvous for the proposed "sConers"
