which more than two score of the chief
powers Of the world are to be represented,
was made oossible by the crusade waged
during the past decade in behalf of inter-
national arbtration and the fact that a
conference Of this character, size and rep
Presentation could be held in these times
of wars and rumors Of wars is in and of
itself a gratifying and re-assuring proof
of progress toward universal peace.
A cheering announcement in connection
with the preliminary steps to the opening
of the conference is that the British and
American representatives are meeting
with some success in their efforts to have
the question of International arbitration,
which is now the eighth Grtlcle fos con
sideration, advanced to first place. The
first step in the direction of disarmament
must be the substitution of some method
of settling International troubles for the
arhitrament of the sword. Unless GER
I tain degree of progress can be made in
that direction, it will be little better than
useless to engage in the discussion of
other topics. With the adoption OF aIbi-
tratlon the way will be prepared for 9TH
er steps in advance, in which event the
conference may have immediate as well
as substantial results, although this is al
most too much to expect.
| 1t is easy to understand how the peace
conference will face many pitfalls. Before
Russia consents to arbitrate her differ
cnces with Great Britain, for example,
she will un1ucstionably desire to have a
. 70
tory she believes her interests to require
in the Chinese Empire. Unless France
has changed to Il marked degree she will
not be willing to arbitrate her differences
with Germany until she has reguned her
! lest provinces Of Alsace and Lorraine.
Turkey will naturally object to any ac-
btration juggling which may result in tho
loss of her Balkan provinces. now in a
state of chronic revolution. In short there
are probably few nations yet wholly in a
position where they will hail the dawn of
an era of universal disarmament We're
such a thing possible.
But that the peace conference will have
enduring and wholesome results can not
be doubted. Though no actual agreement
may he reached in favor of universal dis
armament. it is entirely safe to say that
tho discussion OF methods of avoidng war
will not be without generous fruit
Though we may not hope for general dis
armament in this or many an other age
to come. as A result of the convention al
the Hague, we may expect it to impart a
marked impetus to the growing DISPOSE
ton to discard war foe international arbi-
tration, which is in fact the chief object
sought. The moral effect of the confer
ence will he on the side Of peace, and in
; the end moral ideas rule the world.

An Object Lesson For Vermont.

In view of the plethora of capital which
s. seeking investment in Vermont as well
as in other States it is little short of re-
markable that some of our capitalists do
not take advantage of the excellent OPEN
lngs for canning industries in different
parts of this State. The one great diff
hculty, of course. is that unless farmers
will agree to raise crops to be used by
canning factories it will not be profitable
for men of means to invest a considerable
sum of money in the establishing of
large plant which will have to stand idle
during a considerable portion of the year.
In order to assure this cooperation 1t is
necessary for considerable number of
formers to get together, and agree upon a
plan of operation, and it is difficult to in
uuce any one to start in the matter
We have hitherto spoken of the extent
to which canning industries in some of the
Western States contribute to the prosper
ity aud progress of the farming districts
as well as to the building up OF important
Industries in manufacturing centres. An
other side of the question is brought to
view by the Baltimore American in the
city's industries. 1t says that one of Bal
tmore's big industries, if not the biggest
of them all, Is the canning of fruits and
vegetables, and in support of its statement
II points to the fact that in this work not
less than $4,000 people find employment and
romunerative wages.
That Baltimcre's canning Industries are
CupcaeSCD1 is in6ipata6 ~ ha
new factories are established every year,
and the outlook continues SO inviting that
immense sums are invested in the build
ing of large plants for the prosecution of
this work. The success OF Baltimore in
this direction has led other Maryland
towns to erect canning plants OF their
own, and that State is coming to have a
high reputation the world over in connec-
ton with the production of canned goods.
If every county in Vermont had several
1lourishng canning industries, the boon to
farmers would be so great that there
would be a call for the multiplication of
such factories; but until our people can
have such an object lesson, we are likely
to continue to ship our fruits and vege-
tables to Maine and other States 10 be
canned, and then buy the goods back
again to be used on our Ia bles. paying the
onterprsng capitalists of other States the
Profit upon work which we might do at
any point in our own State. Some time
we will wake up and wonder why we wait
ed SO many years for others to show MS
how to make the most of our abundant
production of fruits and vegetables.

Our philipDine Policy

Advices from the Philippines tend to
show that a cessation of hostilities can
not be long postponed. and the question
regarding the form Of government to be
adopted for that territory at once becomes
a serious problem. The administration
has announced that the question of the
permanent disposition of the archipelago
will remain for Congress to determine, but
it will be necessary for the administration
to institute some form of government 10
continue until Congress in its aggregated
wisdom and patriotism decides what shall
be done with the Fflipnos.
Unless our government modifes the poll
cy which has plainly dominated the situa-
ton in the Philippines thus far the terms
of peace to be arranged with Aguindldo
will have little influence in shaping the
new government OF the archipelago. In
conditional surrender has been the condi-
ton named to the representatives of The
insurgent army whenever proposals of
peace have been suggested, and the insis-
tence of Gen. Otis upon these terms will
leave our government without restrictions
as to the policy to he inaugurated there
except those we may deem best to regard.
According to Washington reports the adj
ministration has been inclined to give to
the people of the Philippines the largest
degree of self-government consistent with
our interests and the preservation of good
order in the archipelago. 1t has been the
intention of our national authorities 10 put
natives in office wherever possible, but to
at the elbows of the Philippine officials to
see that law and order are maintained and
that life and property are respected under
the new government, If this form Of SOW
eminent is instituted in the Philippines,
that territory will be under a system Of
rule not unlike that prevailing in Egypt
where everything is done in tine name of
the Khedive. although it is well-known
fact that if anything is done detrimental
to civil order and British interests, British
guns will be heard in Alexandria Bay.
After seeking to secure concessions from
Gen. Otis without avail Aguinaldo has o.
tentatiously announced that the Filipino
government will reject all negotiations for
peace or the part of Americans based on
any scheme of autonomy" but the chances
are that when the rebel leader is finally
forced to come to terms he will be willing
to accept the liberal degree of home rule,
which our commissioners in the Philip
pines have evidently held out to him as
an inducement TO make peace. If Eng
land has found her scheme of government
/ for Egypt to work well for a prolonged
period, it will undoubtedly prove satsfac-
tory for the period during which it will be
needed in the Philippines pending Con
gressional action, and If our possession OF
that territory is to continue indefinitely,
it will be comparatively easy matter to
make any desired notifications in the
!, system,
