An Equal Standard of Morals.

Il believe absolutely in an equal
standard of morals for mon and
women, writes Edward w. Box in
The Ladies' Homo Journal, replying
to an Inquirer Nor is this an ideal
condition because it does not now
exist. 1t Is not at all unlikely that
such equality will he the standard
OF the future. At all events. for
yourself live u pure life, SO that YOU
may be able to look every woman
IN the world III tho face and have
the greatest satisfaction that can
como to man; that when YOU mar
ry you can Civ" to the girl of your
heart what you expect that she will
bring to you moral purity. 1t is
the most solid of all foundation
stones on which a man and woman
can begin Il life of perfect under
standing and happiness. "

Washington, Jan. 11.-Fate overlook
the Pacific railroad refunding bill in
the house today 1t was defeated by
the majority of &c votes. and its sup
porters were even prevented from
sending it back to the committee for
reconsideration.
The motion on which the decisive
blow was dealt called for the engross-
ment and the third reading of the bill.
When roll had been called and the
result was announced, the opponents
of the measure INDUCED in some hand
clapping, but made no attempt at a
more noisy demonstration. The final
vote was l6S nays, 102 ayes.
The house devoted the remainder of
the day to the military academy ap-
preparation bill, and to measures
brought forward under a call of COM
mittees. The academy bill was dis
posed of in short order with amend
ment. Among the other bills passed
was one fixing the minimum limit OF
capital for national banks in cities and
towns of between $4,000 and 5000 in
habitants, and another extending until
January l, 1902, the time for the COM
pletion of the Blackwells Island bridge

london. Jan 11.-Commenting on the
signing of the arbitration treatE~ be
tween Great Britain and the United
states. the Daily News will tomorrow
say: 1.-The 18th of January, 1897, VIII
henceforth be a famous day IN the
history of Great Britain and the Unit
ed States. 1t would be rash to regard
the ratification of the treaty as a fore
gone conclusion, but we are inclined 10
believe that the senate will accept 1t.
ANYHOW, no delay in its ratification can
undo the moral effect of the sign
ing"
The paper Iauds Mr.. Gladstone as
the nioneer of the Anslo-Amer9can
arbitration, and pays tribute TO
Prime Minister Salisbury for using well
the opportunity TO put it on firm
basis. In conclusion. it says that prob
ably the greater honor is due TO the
obscure unofficial workers who famil-
iarize the respective peoples with the
idea of international good will and ar
bitratio1-
The Standard will say that whether
or not the senate approves the treaty
1.-THE mere exchange of signatures con-
StituteS new departure III lhIerHd-
tional regulations
In referring TO the Bering sea queS-
ton from the provisions of the treaty,
the Standard says that the value of an
arbitration treat which has to be
kept outside any question oEactual
practical Importance would seem TO be
| a rather negative quality. and so far
the reservations expressed in the presi-
! dents message to the senate are ap-
parently justified. The paper declares
| that the treaty is the legitimate out
come of the state of feeling that that
| document evoked and that temporary
! eStrangement has been followed by q
serious attempt to remove the posi-
| bility of misunderstanding in the fu-
ture. The treaty, it concludes, is a
