Unworthy Even the Name Of Jingoes.

"Well-constituted Jingoes usually
delight to pose as exaggerated species
of patriots who believe that their ma
ton is the strongest in war and the
wisest in peace of all the peoples of
the world. The opponents of the
Anglo American arbitration treaty have
shown that, even measured by lingo
standards, their patriotism is pinch
beck. A favorite argument of these
sham Jingoes against the treaty is that
for generations past, and in instance
after instance, Great Britain has got
the better of us in diplomacy.
The utter falsity of this assertion
will appear from the list of arbtrations
between the United States and other
powers, which Senator Sherman laid
before the Senate several days ago.
The list, which by the way is not CON-
plete, includes thirty eight cases, ff-
teen of which, or nearly one-half, were
arbitrations between this country and
Great Britain. OF FIVE arbitrations
relating to territory between the years
1894 and 1927 the decision in one
case was waived by mutual consent,
and in the other four the awards were
favorable to the United States. Oh
the whole number of thirty eight cases
included in Senator Sherman's list,
only FIVE, and none of them important,
fell through. OF thirty cases in which
awards were carried into effect, only
six were decided adversely to the con.
tentlons of the United States. Foul
cases were submitted to arbitration
under the treaty of Washington, OF
which the most momentous-that re.
lating to the Alabama claims-resulted
in verdict against Great Britain
The decisions on the fisheries and on
the civil war claims were unfavorable
to our views; but the decision of the
German Emperor on the San Juan
boundary controversy was entirely ir
accord with our contention. On the
whole the record shows that so far as
the United States are concerned arbi-
trations have resulted favorably not
only in the large majority but in the
more important of the cases submitted
Instead of getting the better of us,
Great Britain has, with very few ex
ceptlons, come off second best in hel
controversies with this country.
The obstructionists who have stoop
ed to the denigration of their country
in order to find arguments against the
pending Anglo-Amerlcan arbitration
treaty are unworthy even the name O
Jingoes. ."-Ret0ra.

A Fixed Committee.

There will be no surprise at the
make up of the so-called treasury in
vestigating committee. The best
ability of the officers appointing the
committee was exerted to produce
something over which Senator QUAY
could not quibble. Indeed it is safe
to guess that any danger of quibbling
from the Beaver senator was shrewdly
avoided by such action as would pro-
vide against that prior to the naming
of the committee. There will be no
investigation.
OF course, what we have said does
not apply to the Democratic members.
Messrs. Lennon and Kerr may be
earnest and adroit enough but they
will be so completely overshadowed
by the majority that any efforts they
make to discover will be fruitless.
We question if the Wanamaker OF
combine people themselves had an,
earnest feeling in this matter. The,
seem to have studiously pursued plan:
to avoid Democratic assistance from
the first The bluster they made a
few weeks ago about continuing the
fight appears to have been only for a
little temporary effecs Unless they
give some proof pretty soon that they
mean fight we must conclude thai
their reform schemes are made of the
same stuff as Quay's and meant sole
ly for selfish ends.-Paftiof.

Building a Capitol.

The "Central bimetallic league" of
Reading submits proposition to the
general assembly relative to provision
for rebuilding the capitol. 1t proposes
that the "artisans" to work on the
building be employed by the public
buildings commissioners agents of
the state--snd these be paid by
'voucher issued by the commonwealth
solely for the erection of the capitol,
and being made receivable by the
state treasurer in taxes and all other
debts que and payable to the state,
would at once be exchangeable as a
commercial tender, at least for all
business within the state boundary
lines" 1t proposes that materials be
paid for in the same way.
Admitting that this could be done.
We do not see what would be accom-
plished thereby. AS the voucher
would be at once redeemable by the
state, the treasury would have to be
prepared with redemption fund pro-
vided by taxation. Of course it is not
intended that the "voucher" shall be
redeemed but shall continue ex,
changeable as a commercial tender
until worn to pieces, that is different
mater.
But the scheme could not be con,
sidered for moment. The constitu.
tion OF the United States prohibits a
state from "emitting bills of credit
or "making anything but gold and sill
yer coin tender in payment of debts.
Our esteemed Reading bimetal!ist:
must resolve again. Or get the con
stitution changed.-Es.

avail. He died protesting his inno-
cense. His wealth is estimated at
over 100000. He belonged to one
OF the Oldest and best known families

Each has HIS Torment.
A Preacher Talks on '.Hell'' and Draws a
Picture.

Hell" " was one of the topics Of
Rev. c. H. Eaton's morning sermon
at the Church of the Divine Paternity.
New York, on Sunday. He said that
the hell pictured by the early philoso-
pliers, painters and writers was but a
mild sketch of the real hell. The
various forms of immoralities produce
certain conditions in the soul and con-
signed the individual into hell self.
made worse thousand-fold than any
hell ever written or printed. Drunk
enness, lewdness and other vile habits
all resulted in personal hells for those
who transgressed the divine laws.
The Universalist church, DIR. Eaton
said, was not built upon any false
ideas of sentimentality. He'll was
condition. "The demons of hell walk
up and down our avenues and streets"
said the doctor. "They are in our
very drawing rooms, waiting for the
chance to entice us.
DR.. Eaton said that intemperance,
lewdness and the opium habit were
evils more common to-day than ever
before in the history of the world.
Each urchin had his hell. Each was
suffering the fortunes ofdamnation. the
pains of which were rendered doubly
cruel by the inner consciousness that
each had been self-dammed.
The object Of hell, DR.. Eaton said,
was reformation, so that the child OF
God might be reclaimed.
