international Arbitration Favored.


In the paragraph which the President
in his message devoted TO international
arbitration he said: THE best sentiment
of the civilized world is moving toward
the settlement of differences between ma
tons without resorting to the horrors Of
war"
If all civilized nations would agree TO
settle the differences which might arise
between them by arbitration a vast bur
den in the shape of taxes for the sup
port of armies and navies would be lifted
from the masses While it is doubtless
true that the sentiment in favor of inter-
national arbitration is gaining ground 1t
is worthy of notice that more money -
being spent on navies and, perhaps, on
armies, than ever before in the history Of
the world. So destructive are the engines
of war with which the principal nations
are now supplied that they hesitate to
declare war against one another. 1t may
be the fear of the terrible results which
would follow actual battle that is helping
to strengthen the sentiment in favor of
international arbitration.
Still, Notwithstanding the desire to avoid
war, the danger Of it is always present.
The war between Greece and Turkey is
not yet fully settled, and it has not been
long since the snubbing of a French diplo-
mat at a European watering place was
the spark which started the flame of war
between France and Prussia-a war which
cost tens of thousands Of human lives and
hundreds of millions of money. Our own
civil war the greatest war of modern
times, is still fresh in the minds of our
people, and yet notwithstanding these two
great wars our Senate refused to ratify
the arbitration treaty between this coun-
try and Great Britain. Why that treaty
was rejected has never been fully and
satisfactorily explained. There is no doubt
that ii had the approval of the masses Of
the people of both this country and Eng
land. The reason it was defeated was
said TO be the feeling of hostility to Great
Britain entertained by some of the sena
tors, and the desire on the part of others
to prevent Mr.. Clevelands administration
from getting the credit for negotiating
treaty of that kind.
While, therefore. the direction of public
sentiment is in the direction of settling
differences between nations by arbtra.
tion it cannot be said that it is strong
enough to justify nations in reducing the
expenses of their naval and military estab-
lishments AS long as the snubbing of
diplomat is sufficient cause for war be-
tween great nations and senator's refuse
TO ratify arbitration treaties for such un,
substantial reasons as those which de.
feated the arbitration treaty between this
country and Great Britain the nations will
have to support great armies and navies.
Stbll, it is to be hoped that President Nc
Kinley will perseyere in his good inten-
lions respecting arbitration treaties. If he
could get the Senate to ratify an arbitra-
ton treaty between this country and
Great Britain similar to the one which
was defeated, it would give his admins
tration higher place in the estimation.

The President and Hawaii.
From the Baltimore Sun (Dem.).

The President, however does not say
people" He says the Hawaiian state"
The French monarch said '"The state, it is
l." In the eyes of Mr.. Mckinley the firm
of Dole & Co. is the Hawaiian state"
This portion of the message is as weak
as that portion of it relating to Cuba is
strong. or the forcibe annexation" of
Cuba, says the President, Il cannot speak
for that cannot be thought of. That bv
our code of morality would be criminal
aggression" How much less ''forcible"
and, therefore, criminal" so far as the
mass of the Hawaiian people are concern
ed-that is, nineteen twentieths of the
population-will be the annexation" Of
those islands by virtue OF bargain be-
tween the President and Senate of the
United. states and President Dole and the
Hawaiian "state?"

One Way of Settling n Bill.

Il don't suppose that I shall ever get

local bootmaker. looking ruefulIy at a
small piece of blue paper, says Parsons

"Why not%' asked the partner of bis
joys and sorrows though not of his busi-
ness details. Whose Is it?"
1t is the account of Mr.. Goodman. the
deacon. I've asked him for il ever so
many times, but can't get it. l don't
know how to bring him to the point.

an air of determination. IN get il set

That was Saturday evening. On the
Monday morning the bill and the cash
was sent to Mr.. Sandy.
How did you manage it, my love?" ask
ed the bootmaker in amazement.
"Oh, it wasn't much trouble" said Mrs
Sandy quietly. you were not at church

A Fall River dispatch in a Philadelphia
paper says the cotton mill men of the for
mer city are puzzling their brains to hit
upon plan for shutting out the south.
or to prevent the south from taking their
business away from them. The dispatch
says: 1t has been suggested here that the
northern and southern mills link their
interests, or, in other words, form
trust; but one great obstacle in the way
of thus relieving the situation is the diff
ference between the cost of manufacturing
in the south and New England" In still
other words, 1t is desired that the south
ern mills shall take the improbable New
England mills upon their backs and hold
them up. 1t is not likely that the owners
of the southern mills could be induced to
saddle themselves with any such dead
weight. The proper thing for the New
Englanders to do is to succumb gracefully
TO the inevitable. and bring their mills
south.

It is probable that by the time the smoke
of battle over christening the warship
Kentucky has cleared away, there viii be
another fight on, over the christening of
her sister ship, the Kearsarge. This latter
vessel is not named after any state, hence
no governor will be invited to name the
lady TO break the bottle of wine, and the
duty of selection VIII devolve upon the
Secretary Of the Navy. A son of Admiral
Winslow, who commanded the Kearsarge
In her famous battle, wishes his wife to
be chosen, while the secretary desires, in
accordance with custom, that an unmar-
ried lady shall perform the service. New
Hampshire claims the honor of the soon-
scr for the ship. since the Kearsarge
mountain, from which the name is taken,
is in that state. The President, 1t is said
favors the daughter of the secretary as
the ships sponsor. There are various COM
plications of the matter which make it
difficult of solution without embarrassing
or apparently affronting certain persons
interested. 1t is said the matter will prob
ably be submitted to the Presidents cabi-
net. 4.t

sea captain lately at Bombay says
there is a great shortage of the Indian cot
ton crop, which, he thinks is bound to
have the effect of forcing better prices for
American cotton" 1t is to be hoped that
the captains conclusion is correct. Mean
time it seems pertinent to ask, why did
not the administration at Washington ar
range for this shortage of cotton in India
at the same time it cut off the foreign
wheat crops for the benefit of the western
farmers? When the administration sets
in to give the country prosperity, it should
not make differences between sections.
