THE VENEZUELAN ARBITRATION

Very far away indeed now seem those vocf-
erous II not halcyon days which followed Mr..
Clevelands Venezuelan Message The intense
passions, the destinations. the talk Of war that
was INDUCED In by even those Of customarily
zane procedure, all appear part Of ancient his
tory. At the pace at which the world now lives
the lapse OF three and q half years is enough 10
make matter have IAN ancient and f1shke
smell" Still more effective TO the same end
however, is the change Of sentiment with which
the matter is regarded We shall be within
bounds II we say that the attitude OF both ma
lions three and a half years ago was unreasona-
ply imprisoned and excited and that to-day it
5 model Of calmness and moderation. We do
cot know that the present calm would so surely
have been reached had not there been that for
uer storm. 1t might have been and il might
DOT. But 1t was human nature to have the
storm. Happily II is not less human nature 10
be done with II and 10 settle down into placid
consideration Of the merits of the case
1t is felictous conjunction OF incidents that
II the very moment when American delegates
II The Hague are urging a scheme OF interna-
uonal arbitration before the Peace Congress a
practical demonstration Of the American policy
,hould be given at Paris In case Of actual arbi-
cation brought about by the efforts OF the Amer
can Government and argued by American coun.
Vel. Assuredly that will not weaken the Ameri-
ian position at The Hague Nor will the fact
hat the umpire Of the arbitral court Is also a
nember, and one Of the most distinguished
members Of the Peace Congress have any eifec,
other than for good We have hitherto ex
pressed the opinion that the American arbitra
ION scheme is the most hopeful Of all before the
Peace Congress, and that the adoption Of II
tlone would make the meeting OF that body
nemorably benefcent. We could wish nothing
better in that regard for all the nations Of the
world than that they should agree 10 dispose OF
Ill their disputes, or all that are properly thus
70 be disposed Of. precisely as Great Britain and
venezuela are now disposing Of theirs.
1t will not escape attention, either. that the
place OF the meeting OF the Court Of Arbitration
Is an suspicious one. Ii is the room In which ar
bftration was effected. years ago. between thi.
country and Great Britain. In that case the de
cision was not altogether 10 the liking OF III,
United States. Yet this Nation and Government
accepted II without moments question or hest
tation or demur, and has ever since been mos
Scrupulously loyal 10 It, What will be the re
suit OF the present arbitration no man can prop
erly assume TO say. In all probability one sid,
or the other will be more or less disappointed

eence, that the verdict will be accepted withou

HOW 1T LOOKS.

"N'stchmar. what OF the night?" But there
is no night; that stopped when the sun Of Re-
publicanism rose in 1896 II has been only
question Of more or less dawning ever since.
One has 10 pity the poor unfortunates who are
obliged TO print every day dispatches announc-
ing some advance in wages by this corporation
employing 1900 hands or that concern employ
ing 5000 or some associated concerns employ
ing more. But that Is the fate Of war. The
man who fights the American Eagle has every
chance against him. 1t Is a good bird, that
Eagle. looking after the welfare Of the plain
people Of this country with considerable vigil
lance. and not caring a button for the foreign
ers who come here 10 get American salaries by
slanderfng American institutions.
There is no night, and even the wild rise IN
quotations for some commodities does not mean
such mischief as might at other times follow
a sudden and remarkable advance The fact is
that the American works were long ago covered
by contracts for great part OF the year at the
prices current before spasmodic advances be-
gan. Those advances came only because the
great producers were covered with contracts
far ahead and did not care AT what prices the
smaller and infrequent competitors took what
little they could get. 1t was a kind Of cruel
benevoleDce TO toss them contracts at s. a ton
which the big concerns could not afford to take
because crowded with big contracts at a profit
Of 81 ton. The quotations said to represent
the iron market, for instance, do In fact repre-
sent the prices at which nearly the whole bust
ness is not done, and quite often only the prices
which big combinations have fixed after their
works have been fully covered by contracts, in
order TO get rid Of annoying applications.
II a body thinks a moment, he sees that the
necessary reaction from such prices, almost
wholly fictitious Will not mean what n great
reaction ordinarily means The works have
been all the time employed at from $50 to s3j
ton. with nominal prices 80 per cent higher
but when the market gets back TO actual bust.

You arc perhaps aware that pneu-

from an attack OF la grlpp. During the
epidemic Of 10 grippe a few years ago
when so many cases resulted in
pneumonia, 1t was observed that the
attack was never followed by that dis
ease when Chamberlaln's cough rem.
