As TO MARKING THE STREETS.

There was one aspect in which the recent
amazing change in the system Of marking our
streets at the corners was encouraging. 1t
showed that the authorities had perceived a
public need and were honestly making an effort
to supply it.
The trouble was that they saw the public need
more clearly than they satisfactory rem
edy. 1t would be a great convenience to people
riding in our swiftly moving streetcars or in
cabs to be able to see by glance at a street
lamp when they have reached the corner they
want But this convenience is bought too dear
when secured at the cost of labelling every
street with a name that doesn't belong to it,
and leaving the stranger in New-York or even
the oldest citizen in localities which he does
not frequent every day. almost helpless for any
rational means of finding out what street he
is on.
At last the authorities have discovered the
miserable confusion thus created and are chang
Ing back to the old system. This. too is en-
couraging, for it shows an honest desire to
learn
Now, what would be more encouraging still
would be 70 have them learn a little more
Nothing is easier than to have sign on a
street lamp serving both purposes-to show the
street you on and the street you are cross
ing. 1t merely requires two lines Of lettering
instead of one. The upper line should, of
course indicate the name of the street; the
lower one, preceded by a cross, should give the
name of the cross street.
The system would then be perfect as to con-
venience, would be Ineligible to a child and if
once instituted would never be abandoned.
Before our authorities, who have given such
encouraging proof of wanting to serve public
necessity and of being able to learn when they
haven't served it, get too far in the work of
changing back their street signs to the old svs-
tenn, won't they think of this?

Transvaal. being unwilling to take such rank,
was consequently excluded.
So it comes to this: That neither the United
States nor any other Power is under any obga-
ton to offer mediation in any case. Generally
speaking the Powers are under an obligation to
remind disputing Powers of the existence Of
the Court of Arbitration, but only when both
the disputants are sigDatory Powers under the
convention. But from even such obligation the
United States is specifically exempted by reso-
luton unanimously adopted by the Congress at
the instance of the United States delegates. to
wit, that nothing in this convention shall be SO
construed as to require the United States of
America TO depart from its traditional policy Of
mot intruding upon, interfering with or en-
"tangng itself in the political questions or in
'ternal administration of any foreign State"
We conclude, then, that all the United States
has TO do is to appoint its representatives in the
Permanent Court of Arbitration. 1t seems to
be under no other direct or implied obligation,
and are not at all sure that it enjoys any
important privilege which 1t did not enjoy be-
fore. The Peace Convention is an admirable
thing. But it has not brought and probably
will not in our time bring, the millennium to
earth. 1t will be of greater value to other ma
tons which have not had so long and so init
mate an acquaintance with arbitration as has
the United States. So far as this Nation is con-
cerned. 1T will be valuable chiefly as a con-
firmatiOn of the United States in a course long
ago voluntarily adopted and pretty consistently
maintained.

gift of money to Vassar College for inhrm-

direction of the resident physicians OF the college
