THEPLEDGEOF PEACE
oLNEY AND PAUNcEFoTE SIGN THE
ARBITRATION TREATY.

The President Expresses the Hope That
II WIN Mark the Beginning Of World
wide and Enduring Amity-KinR Oscar
TO Re the Final Arbitrator.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Anglo
American arbitration treaty, to which had
been affixed the signatures Of Secretary OF
State Olney and the British ambassador,
Sir Julian Pauncefote, has been transmit
ted by President Cleveland TO the senate
for its ratification and duplicate copy
forwarded by special messenger to London
for the approval of Lord Salisbury, the
English prime minister
The following is the text Of the presi-
dents message:
/ transmit herewith a treaty for the ar
bitration of all matters in difference be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain. The provisions of the treaty are the
result of long and patient deliberation and
represent concessions made by each party
for the sake of agreement upon the gener
al scheme.
Though the result reached may not
meet the views of the advocates of imme-
diate, unlimited and irrevocable arbitra-
ton Of all international controversies, 1t
IL nevertheless confidently believed that
the treaty cannot fail to be everywhere rec
ognized as making long step in the right
direction and as embodying a practical
working plan by which disputes between
the two countries will reach peaceful
adjustment as matter of course and in or
dinary routine.
In the initiation of such an important
movement it must be expected that some
of its features will assume a tentative char
acter looking to further advance, and yet
It is apparent that the treaty which has
been formulated not only makes war be-
tween the parties to it a remote possibility,
but precludes those fears and rumors of
war which Of themselves too often assume
the proportions of a national disaster.
1t is eminently fitting as well as fortu-
nate that the attempt to accomplish results
so beneficent should be initiated by kin
dred peoples speaking the same tongue
and Joined together by all the ties of COM
mon traditions, common institutions and
common aspirations. The experiment Of
substituting civilized methods for brute
force as the means of settling information
al questions of right will thus be tried un-
der the happiest auspices. Its success
ought not to be doubtful. and the fact
that its ultimate ensuing benefits are not
likely to be limited to the two countries
Immediately concerned should cause it to
be promoted all the more eagerly. The ex-
ample set and the lesson furnished by the

His opponents bore his Christian
name.
33. He freed the land that holds
back the sea,
By little spaniel saved was he.
"a. A blind old man of mighty
song,
Who did his three daughters a pitt
full wrong,
36. He hid in the cellar a powerful
thing,
That would ruin his rulers and ruin
his king.
36. A brave, gallant soldier, a trail
tor soon known,
Meets death among strangers, an
exile alone.
81. In the kettles hoary breath, he
found a gallant, mighty steed,
Which, when harnessed, plowed the
deep and crossed the plains
with lightning speed.
3S. He canned up words, he gave
speech wings,
A glorious light from his arches
springs.
80. The greatest mocker that ever
was borne,
Religion his railing and virtue his
scorn.

LONDON, Jan. 13. The Chronicles Wash
ington correspondent says:
Secretary Olney, replying to a question
of the Russian minister, Mr., E. de Kotze-
bue, as to whether the arbitration treaty
with England was offensive and defensive
or anything in the nature of an alliance,
said that the question might be answered
yes and no; that in the ordinary diplo-
matte acceptance it was not an alliance,
but that it is an alliance in support of the
Monroe doctrine, which England recog-
nized by the terms of the Venezuelan
treaty. If the arbitration treaty is rati-
fed, Mr.. Olney said, 1t practically makes
Great Britain our ally for the maintenance
and enforcement of the Monroe doctrine -
The correspondent Of The Chronicle,
commenting upon the above, says;
"Mr. Olney recognizes that England is
the more natural ally of America than
Russia, whose hitherto professed friend
ship for the United States is merely hatred
of England 1t is probable that Russia
will do her best to persuade the senate not
to ratify the treaty"
The Chronicle in an editorial regards
the foregoing matter as of the deepest i'm
portance and says that it desires nothing
better than that Russia should take the
course indicated. 1.-THE scales will then
fall from Americans eyes, +" it concludes.

SOME ETHICS.

Every individual on entering the
work of the teacher incurs an OBJ
legation to maintain the dignity of
the vocation and to make it honora-
BILE in the eyes of men.
There is no vocation in which a
greater purity of character anu a
higher standard of moral excellence
is required than that of the teacher.
And any course of action which
tends to diminish public confidence
in the teacher or his vocation must
be termed violation of the princi-
pie, if not the letter, of a code of
ethics.
Every teacher should entertain a
due respect for the wisdom and
Judgment of his seniors. In turn,
teachers of experience, and standing
should extend every courtesy and
render every assistance possible to
young teachers just entering the
work. In general, every teacher is
under obligation to aid and encour-
age his fellow teachers by a friendly
recognition and appreciation of
their work.

Republican Governor.

TRENTON, Jan. 1s.-The opening of the
one hundred and twenty first New Jersey
Legislature thrilled the hearts of Republic
ans. It was the first legislature in 80 years
TO receive an annual message from Re
publican governor,
The desks Of the senators and assembly
men were weighted down with flowers
sent by their admirers
The organization Of both houses was ef-
fected without ripple, the officers agreed
upon by the Republicans being elected
with the mere formal opposition of Dem
ocratic candidates
The message Of Governor Griggs and the
report Of the commission appointed a year
ago TO investigate the question of taxation,
particularly railroad taxation, were pre-
sented.
just what action viii be taken on the
taxation report cannot be foretold yet. The
Hudson members would like to have some
thing which would treat their county more
hberally, but may make up their minds ia
be satisfied.
President Williams made an innovation
IN the senate by naming his committees al
the opening session. The result of this
was the immediate introduction Of lot Of
bills which heretofore had been held back.
Senator Voorhees, introduced the constitu.
tional amendments passed by the last legis-
lature and believes that they all viii pass.

an agricultural and fruit-growing
country. No other country in

manufacturer, or SPECTATOR. 1t is
land of sunshine and plenty,
where you can work out of doors IL
months in the year instead of 6
months. No hot winds in summer,
no blizzards in winter. Lands are
cheap along this new line of road
because this country has heretofore
been remote from railroad. Climate
mild, pleasant and healthy.

Human Acceptance.

What is human acceptance
Why is it we love so well to hear
those words spoken: Well done
my brother, or sister, as the case
may be, after having done our best
spoken by those we love and re-
spect? Why is it all mankind so
lougs for human acceptance, and
why so disappointed when refused
the credit thus due, then, of well
done ? 1t is not because of human
selfshness, or selfgratifcation, that
prompts us as individuals to refuse
the palms that so truly belong to
another? Dear, longing, patient,
waiting hearts, | remember this,
whoever it may be that refuses to
give you the credit due you has
thus stolen from you the reward
which so truly belongs to you,
only to, some day, find it SO much
burden to their own conscience
that, sometime, somewhere, they
will long for place to lay it down.
But, again ask you, what is hui
man acceptance, after all
Is there not higher acceptance?
Is there not friend who sticketh
closer than brother, who SO often
whispers in your ear so sweetly, SO
encouragingly, "well done, my be-
loved | am with you always. ]
will never leave or forsake ~
Where did the whisperings come
from ? Where is that still small
voice Dear, waiting hearts, it is
everywhere. 1t is the Am of the
universe the without-the within
the | Am that | Am-the JOY of
being-the joy of living that
which no man giveth or taketh
away.
To be accepted of our Am, God,
is the only acceptance worth while.
1t is far better to give than to re-
Iceive, and tits only when we have
