JAPAN AND HAWAII.

Tho announcement that Japan has at last
agreed to submit her dispute with iia"aii ~
arbitration is most gratifying. There mas Deem
from tho beginning no serious danger OF ""i
or onv extreme measures. But 1t was dcpiora-
h,a IN have relations at all strained pe'"eeh
countries which have so many interests IN cohl-
man and both of which are bound by so strong
and cIoso Ties TO the United States. There is
nov good reason TO expect that the controVers!
vii, mo snecdilv and satisfactorily settled, III eN-
ocuv tho WAY in which such matters should DC
settled.
II is also gratifying TO observe that japan
ocrccs tn submit the entire dispute to arpitra-
,ion without the reservations she Mt first de-
sired That il I'm accordance with the true
snirit NJ arbitration All the issues or case
unless they involve the National honor or the
integrity of territory, which by common con-
sent are regarded as uncomfortable should be
freely submitted To the tribunal. In no other
way can entire equity in the decision he as
eured II will he remembered that the cher
ohstoclo To arbitration between Great Britain
and VcnczucIa was the unwilngness OF the
former to let the whole of the disputed area be
considered As soon ms that unwlllngness was
overcome the case was put in way OF settle
arbitration the question Of the perpetul'y OF
her treaty right to immigration. which was
really the crux Of the whole matter. mat
declinaton is now undcrs TODD to he wlthdraWh'
and so n settlement should soon be reached.
Hawali's suggestion Of the way in when the
tribunal of arbitration should be formed Is also
worthy of attention. II Is that three eminent
iurlsts shall be selected, one by Japan one by
Hawaii. and one by them both, and that 10
them all questions Of fact and law shall be
submitted for final adjudication. The princi-
ple Is not novel. but II IL cOmmendable as In
dIcatlng a reaction against the too prevalent
tendency to call In some foreign ruler rs UNI
pire. II IL better for two nations to settle their
disputes between themselves than to call In n
third party TO do IT for them; and, with oil due
respect. presidents and kings nre not always
the best Judges OF law and fact Hawaii Is
understood 10 have offered this merely rs
suggestion. and not as n demand upon which
she will insist. There Is reason TO expect that
japan will regard II favorably. But whether
she does or not peaceful and equitable set
item, nj OF all points at Issue between the two
countries seems now assured.

ANYTHING but surprised admiration FOR the uh-
worldliness of the man who has any Ideas mat
he can satisfy them by honest and cihcleht ad-

There is Gruber, whose fame, until the present
campaign rested on his attacks on civil Ser

with Tamnany Is a matter Of official party
record There Is Mike Dady, well known for
his aversion TO reform and his admiration for
McKane There are all the boys whose faces
according TO Ouigg were so sternly set against
reform that Mayor Strong could not have been
renomnated even under the boss's orders
There is Lauterbach, who prefers Tammany
Mayor to a non-partlsan Mayer. There is Plat

The popular memory is proverDially short
Rut il does not require long memory to recall
wildly the Indignation of NEWCOMERS over
the Tammany- Plat alliance two years ago 10
rob the people Of this city Of the fruits or
the reform victory achieved in the election of
Mayor Strong Our Albany correspondent this
morning reviews some of the Albany legisa
ton of recent years in which Platt and Croker
have had n common interest.
One of the most interesting points in his dis
patch is the reminder Of the Indignation meet
ing of February 3, 1885, TO protest against TIE
"holdinc up" Of the Power Of Removal Dill. mt
which Cornelius ~ Bliss made a powerful
speech In denunciation Of bosses and in de-
fence of municipal nonpartisanshp. and an
nounced that when the Constitutional Conven-
"tion. the highest representative body known
"to our laws, adopted measures making 1t pos
"siblc for the people Of this city to unite with
"out prejudice to their party interests in state
! "and Nation to secure to the people OF N"w-
"York government Of. by and for all its citi
"zens, of whatever party n union sprung into
being that elected n Mayor pledged to non
partisan conduct of the government" He also
recalls the votes by which the Consolidation
Commission bill was passed, and shows that
stood ready at every stage to aid Platt when
ever he could not rally sufficient force in his
own party. In fact, the measure never could
have become law but for Tammany votes.
After having secured the Greater Ncw-iork
charter by common efforts Plat and Croker
are now preparing to divide the fruits thereof
Plat has put up Tracy to lead forlorn hope
and through Tracy Croker hopes to win victory
over Low. who is, as Croker told Mayor Harri-
son. Van Wyck's chief antagonist. 1t is sicni-
cant to note that Of Platts chief lleutenants
in this deal is Frederick S. Gibbs who was, on
May q, $780, unanimously expelled from the
party by the State Committee on the recon-
mendaton Of Timothy L. Woodruff. Louis F.
Payn and George W. Aldrdge-all regular
Republicans Of high standing and ofiicehold-
ers-for the crime Of having been an ally OF
Tammany Hall. Can Plat and Gibbs still use
Republican voters 10 make deals with Tam
many?

WHERE IS ANDREE!

Beyond question the most confident believers
I'm Herr Andree have cadse for anxiety concern
Ing that original and venturesome voyager. 1t
is too early to give him up as lost But the
question of his Whereabouts has become pain
fully serious one, and every day adds to its
seriousness and lessons the ground for expect
ing gratifying answer. Just one thing seems
at this time practically certain, that Andr6e has
failed in his plan OF sailing clear across the
polar basin in his balloon and reaching civilized
land on the other side without abandoning his
aerial craft. He has now been absent nearly
sixteen weeks-a much longer time than there
Is reason to suppose his balloon to be able to

that he has left the balloon. and, II he still
survives. is making the rest OF his way in boat
or on n sedge or afoOt. He took with him a
boat and a sledge, and a plentiful supply Of
provisions. so that so far as those things are
concerned he may be faring well.
1t Is not surprising that no tidings have been
received from him. There was no reason to
expect any until he himself brought them. 1t
is scarcely conceivable that his carrier pigeons
could make their way back TO Europe. If he
sent any they probably persisted before they
got halfway back. Nor would the cork buoys

Where hide your mares to breedf

Or wove Sargossa weed;
BY lghtless reef and channel.

But most the deep-sea meadows
All purple TO the stars.
Who holds the rein upon your
The latest gale let free
What meat is in your mangers?

Some stallion. rearing swift,
Neighs hungry for new fodder.
And calls us to the drift.
Then down the cloven ridges
Ten million hooves unshod-
Break forth the wild white horses
To seek their meat from God!
Girth-deep In kissing water

Through mist Of mighty tramplings
Roll up the blown names
A hundred leagues TO leeward.
Ere yet the deep hath stirred.
The grooming rollers carry
The coming OF the herd!
Whose hand may grip your nostrtls-
Your forelock who may hold?
Fen they that use the breads with us,
The riders bred and bold.
That spy upon our matings.
That rope us where we run
They know the wild white horses
From father unto son.
We breathe about their cradles,
We race their babes ashore.
We SNUFF against their Threshold,
We nuzzle at their door
BY day with stamping coursers.
BY night in whinnying droves.
Creep UP the wild white horses,
To call them from their loves.
And come they for your callingf
No wit Of man may save.
They hear the wild white horses
Above their fathers grave;
And. kin OF those We crippled
And sons Of those we slew,
Spur down the wild white riders
To lash the herds anew.
What service have We paid them.
O Jealous steeds and strong?
Save We that throw their weakliJgA
