GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED
STATES.

The London, England, Globe Of the
goth inst, assailed the United States
speaking of the futility of arbitration
with power (Which disregards alike
the legal prescriptions and ordinary
courteses of civilized nations"
The Globe is an arrogant British sheet
that cannot forgive nor forget the Ameri-
can revolution that took from the crown
of England her most valuable jewel. 1t
is unfortunately too true, however, that
in this country we change our officials
frequently, and get sometimes into posi-
tions Of prominence. men utterly incom-
petent. In that respect we are not as
careful perhaps as we should be; but
naytheess, the American senate, as a
rule will compare favorably with the
British House of Lords at any time.
This house of eldest sons has good
share of poor, not to say wretched sticks
of great aristocratic pretentions,
The greatest ruler old England ever
had was Oliver Cromwell, who was not
one of the aristocracy, and her greatest
naval heroes were from the common
people, Blake under Cromwell, and Mel
son. Her great inventors, whose geniu:
has made England, were not of the
nobility, but we're men of practical
utility. 1t was British arbitrary rule
under her unwise king and narrow
statesmen with the fool colonial Cover
nors they sent over here that drove the
Americans to revolution.
The Globes wrath is owing to th'
trouble in the seal question in Berinl
sea- But we doubt not the matter will
be amicably arranged. The fact SEEM
to be that the seals are pretty well killec
of, and that will help the settlement, o
should. The following from the Glob
shows its lofty conceit as to British
power and eminence.
That is right; don't "be shouted out
of your rights, and assuredly Americj
don't propose to be bulled out of hers
On this side we recognize Lord Salisbur.
as prudent statesman, not likely to rusl
into danger, as war with this countr.
would be. The Globe should remembe
that the people of the United States ar
of British blood and are English speak
ing, and we have more EnglishIspeakin
people than in all the world outsid
of us.
We lay no claim to being first rat
power even with our seventy-fve million
of people, but in l775, with population
of only some three millions, American
did not hesitate to strike for liberty ant
independence and encounter first rat
power. Americans now have no wish t
assume vast proportions, and play BIZ
role in the affairs of the world. The ex
tent of the British possessions are to-
great for safety, and the time is likely t.
come when the British people will realiz
it as old Rome did. sagacious Britisl
statesmen want no trouble with tn
United States, nor do our wise men wan
difficulty with our kinspeople. 1t
wisdom in both to cultivate amity, an

this in the Globe are not calculated t
conciliate, but rather to lritate and eDger

jury because it gives to the people a recogni-

junction is intended to ignore The old, but
always repulsive federal doctrine of the right
of government to be lodged with the rich and
well born has been revived in the present
usages of the federal courts in dealing with the

The Hamiltonian theory of Capitalization of
government would have had fitting adjunct

our present day federal judges.

DECEMBER POSTAL GUIDE
Calls Attention to the Illegality o1
Lottery Schemes

The December Postal Guide an
nounces definitely that advertisements
in newspapers, periodicals and other
printed journals offering cash prizes
for any kind of a puzzle or lottery is
Illegal and quotes section 1894 of the
revised statutes, which provides that
mo newspaper, pamphlet or publica-
ton of any kind containing any adver-
tisement Of any lottery or gift enter
prise of any kind, offering prizes de-
pendent upon lot or chance
shall be carried in the mail or delivered
by any postmaster or letter carrier"
ITO constitute lottery says the
Guide, three things are necessary.
First, a consideration. which in each of
the schemes set forth above is included
in the subscription price to the paper;
second, prize, which also appears
prominently in each, and, third, the OBJ
tanning Of that prize by lot or chance"
The same guide also notifies post
masters that the practice Of sending
card from Washington notifying them
that there is no balance due either to
them or to the United States on postal
account, has been discontinued. If
postmaster receives no statement or
card before the close of the subsequent
quarter he may assume that his postal
account as audited shows no balance.

PROTECTION TO PORK
DECIDED ON BY THE FRENCH
DEPUTIES
France Stands With America on BIZ
metallisln, But She Doesn't Want
Cheap Hog Products

PARIS, Dec 20.--The debate on the
bill increasing the customs duties on
pigs. pig products and lard was opened
in the Chamber Of Deputies today.
M. Charles Crust opposed the measure.
He said he did not think 1t would fulfill
the expectations of the agrlculturists
snd would cost the consumers 10000, 600
francs annually.
NJ. Georges Grawx. Republican, sup
ported the bill. He said that in three
years France had imported hogs and
hog products valued at 120,000,000 francs,
while her exports did not exceed $4,000, ,00O
francs.
' M. Joan Juares, one Of the leaders of
the Workman's party, expressed the
opinion that the bill would help only
the manufacturers Of pork products, and
that It would be imprudept to jeopardize
the negotiations with the United States
on the subject of woods and silks by
making illusionary changes in the cus-
toms duties
The Premier. M. Meline. said that 1t
was intended to remedy the decline in
the price Of pork, which, he pointed out,
was doing considerable harm to French
agriculture. NJ. Meline remarked that
the government was preparing another
bill. dealing with the adulteration of
rpork products. This statement was re-
ceived with applause.
M. Meline declared the government
was at one with the United States on the
subject Of bimetallism.
The bill was eventually adopted by a
vote OF 41S to 81.
It fixes the duty on hogs at IL francs,
on sucking pigs at 8 francs. on hog prod
ucts at so francs. and on lard at 35 francs
per hundred kilos.

value unless 1t Is in a grave. The theft
Of bodies outside of graves Is not larceny,

vANDEvETER's ASSOCIATION
He Calls Meeting, Which Is Inde1-
nitely Postponed

Vandeveter is disgruntled. His un-
pleasant state of mind results from many
causes. A few weeks ago two police Of
ficers were engaged in taking the names
OF inmates of his lodging house, at 3161h
South Main street, when he objected to
their proceedings, and attempted to put
them out. He succeeded in getting him
self arrested. Through the able assist
ance of Deputy District Attorney Will
liams he obtained a dismissal of the COM
plaint. Then the officers in vindication
of their action, sought to prove the char
acter OF Vandeveter's castle" by again
arresting and prosecuting him for keep
ing house of prostitution. Vandeveter
was tried by a jury and convicted. He
gave notice that he would appeal the
case.
Yesterday he got out among the lodg-
ing house keepers and solicited them to
espouse his cause. He stated that q
meeting would be held in the evening at
211 East First street. The matter Of
raising money to carry Vandeveters
case through the higher courts was one
of the subjects to come up for considera-
ton. Vandeveter proposed to have the
business done properly, and called upon
the landlords to organize. The name of
the society to be was written out on the
top of piece of legal cap which he was
circulating for signatures. This title
could only be learned from hearsay, but
according to the best information OBJ
tainable the organization was to be
called A Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Street Walkers and the Pro-
prietors of Houses of Ill-Fame."
The meeting, however, did not ma
terialize, for the simple reason that Van
deveter was not able to get enough char
acters of his ilk interested in his PROPOSE
ton to form a quorum, however few
might constitute an executive body in his
protective association. The meeting was
accordingly postponed indefinitely.
