We are told that few days ago
a very high official addressed GER
tain newspaper men, and told them
that their style OF writing was OBJ
jectionable and injurious to the
government. His attention was
called to the fact that the news
papers, represented by the writers,
were all upholding the government,
but probably referring to some slight
criticism, the official responded, that
the government was not satisfied
with the tone of the papers and that
quite different kind of support"
was expected.

We are further told that another
high official quietly notified another
newspaper man, that his paper had
very nearly reached the "bottom
line"-whatever that may be-and
while fair criticism was invited no
strong words would be tolerated in
describing the policy of the govern
ment of 1898.

II any reference is made to the in
famous policy of 1898 "the bottom
line" is nearly reached, When re-
ferences are made te the unpardon-
able bluuders which may cost the
country the Reciprocity Treaty and
lead us into imbroglios with Japan,
Great Britain aud other countries,
the press is being threatened with
loss of patronage in some instances,
and with imprisonment, suppression
and other dire vengeance in others.

led to the unjust incarceration OF

Ex-senator Edmunds, we presume, is
to be classed among the informed
dlers" on the arbitration treaty question
upon whom Senator Hoar pours out the
walls of his wrath. But that doesn't
matter. Mr.. Edmunds is recognized as
one of the leading authorities on inter-
national Law in the country, and his
written opinion strongly upholdng the
treaty will be received as a weighty con-
tribution in its support. Speaking AS
IAN intense supporter of the Monroe
doctrine" he effectively retutes the con-
tention that the proposed treaty would
nullfy or impair the integrity and force
of that policy. In answer to the claim
that the adoption of the treaty would
bind this government to submit to arbi-
tration all questions that may arise IN
connection with the Monroe doctrine,
ex. Senator Edmunds points out that III
preparing its terms special care was taken
to reserve from its application all cases
| involving the Monroe doctrine as an
American principle. And he entorces this
Interpretation by pointing out the fact
that separate treaty was provided to
cover the Venezuelan affair for the very
reason that the case, being one that di
rectlv involved the Monroe doctrine
could not come within the scope OF gen
eral treaty of arbitration. Secretary OF
nev could have no more powerful defender
of his position than the able and expert
enced statesman OF Vermont, whose 70
bust and uncompromising Americanisn
no one would venture to question.-Port

to afford him, irrespective OF party:
We have to give him an ample, gener-
Gus and an adequate support. Not, re-
peat, because lie is the president OF the
republican party, but because he is the
president of the United States. The first
question is whether we shall have coun-
try. Afterward we can settle these ques-
tions of policy, these differences OF opin-
ion. What this country wants is pros
perity-a return of prosperity, | mean to
say. That comes from the revival OF in
dustry, when the wheels turn and ham,

God, produces its bounty, Then we nave

test that we have been through Will not

Arbitration.

On almost all questions that come be-
fore the people the masses are capable OF
reasoning intelligently. But from ITS
very nature the subject Of international
arbitration is attended with such intri-
cate conditions that the people are liable
To be misled in respect tn them. We con-
fess want of confidence sufficient tn
enable us to give an opinion respecting
the merits OF the present arbitration
treaty. The natural impulse of the pub
lie is to be conciliatory, to avoid blood
shed. And so in the interests ot harmony
and peace people are inclined iavorably
to the treaty. Arbitrations should been
couraged. A friendly solution of all diff
culties should be encouraged. But great
care should be taken that they should be
guarded so that the parties instead OF a
happy issue out of their troubles should
not be plunged still deeper into complica'
tions and difficulties. Many evils come
from careless arbitration unrestricted by
wise provisions and the exercise OF just
principles. There are certain important
theories of our government which oul
people think are superior in consequence
to any ordinary difference with any ma
ton. And it is thought by some that tt
expose them to the dangers of arhitra
ton would be unwise. The people c
Vermont. especially, are inclined to thin
that the present proposition tor arbitra
ton will not have that effect. Their cor
6dence is strengthened in this respect b
the assertions of ex-senator Edmund
and other very strong men. Of cours
the first and paramount considerable
should be LET us have peace" BIT
peace comes from just and permanei
settlement of difficulties. Numerol
propositions and suggestions are abo'
to be made with reference to the effects
the provisions of the treaty and it seen
to us to be prudent for every citizen
withhold his Judgment until he shall car
fully read all the suggestions which a
about to be made in this respect regar
ing the treaty which is SO prominent
before the country.

article on the coffee topers of Paris, IN
which the testimony Of number of
physicians was given, 70 the effect that
coffee contained the same poisonous ele-
ments as strychn.ne, morphine, tobacco
and whiskey, but in smaller quantities.
This set him 20 thinking. with re-
suit shat coffee was left out Of his diet
and in less than week the head trouble
was gone. Each of the other three gen.
tlenen added their testimony 20 the ef-
feet that coffee had proved a sly and
insiduous enemy instead of friend, as
in each case some stomach, liver or
nervous trouble had been produced by
even moderate coffee drinking.
