Russia has agreed to arbitrate with
this country the claims for damages
for seizure OF American sealers eight
years ago. England and Canada have
also agreed on the temporary Alaskan
boundary and Germany and England
seem inclined to settle the Samoan az
fair in accordance with their respective
interests and the rights of the United
States This somewhat extraordinary
disposition to settle all outstanding
disputes with this country is fa;ter-
ing, of course, to America, but it sug-
gests that one or more of the com
plaisant powers mentioned Is likely
soon to spring surprise in some part
OF the world and that it is thought best
to be on friendly terms with Uncle
Sam before attempting a coup. How
ever that may be. the United States is
ready to come TO fair understanding
with one or all as to any grievances or
disputes between the countries, and as
to future events is quite able to look
after its own interests. But we will
not become too intimate with any OF
them.

An English railway engineer has in
vented a car for lessening the loss OF
life in railway accidents. The plan
adopted, which is fayorably regarded
by English experts, IL extremely sim
pie. On the ground that the danger
from railway accidents is in the tend

and in the inability of the preseat style
Of buffers to take up very severe
shocks, the inventor has designed car
that will take up and break a very
heavy shock without injury to itself,
except in extreme cases. His buffer
car is filled with powerful springs, cal

The cars are to be used in pairs, one
to follow every train and another tc

of a collision would thus be broken
whether it should come from the front

II is not 50 difficul; now as Il was
before the election to have definite
idea of what the chief plank In the
Democratic platform next year wiz be.
To be sure. Mr.. Bryan has stated In
Colorado that the silver question Is
sim paramount" and in Nebraska
that the "impcrIaiistic'' policy OF the
administration Is the 'oycrShadowing-
issue; and in some speeches he has
denounced the trusts as being creatures
OF the Republican party: hu, In Ne
brasEa the main portion OF his speech
rs was about Imperialism" and since
the election, Nebraska having elected
the fusion ticket. Mr.. Bryan has de.
ciared that the campaign there was on
national issues, and the result was n
rebuke 10 the administration in Its
Philippine policy, and that II the Dem.
ocratic campaign in other states had
been waged more nearly on the same
lines, II would have been more success.
ful. Ii is easy to see. therefore. that
Mr.. Bryan regards imperialism as
the main issue, whatever may be said
as TO the 'paramountcy" of the silver
question. In fact, it looks AS IL the
campaign of 1900 We're 10 be more lIk a

Americans can have good country
roads, If they want them. II is only a
matter OF taking proper care OF them
when they are once made. and this
must be done with regularity and sys-
tenn. In England the road-mender is
always at work. He lives in cottage
on the road and takes care OF a section
which has been assigned to him. With
his harrow he fills the worn places
with flint and removes the litter from
the roadway. keeping it neat and tidy.
There is an inspector for every county
division. and all the roads are under
the charge Of a committee of the coun-
ty council. From beginning to end of
the year nearly every mile Of English
country road is under the charge of a
road-mender, paid to do his work.
