Pan-American Congress.

The project launched by the late
tablishing more cordial and intimate
relations among the countries Of this
hemisphere 70 receive another inn
petus, this year besides that given by
the great exposition at Buffalo which
has opened. this week. The revival of
interest in this important matter is
shown by the arrangements to hold q
congress of the American republics in
the city of Mexico. next october. There
have been two elements in the way o.
a speedy fufillment of Mr.. Elaine's
statesmanlike idea. First. the large
number of Europeans. particularly
Germans, who have been settling In
South America and opening up trade
relations with the home country: and.
second. a certain distrust of the
United States caused by the war with
Spain, the ties Of Spanish blood being
strong in most of the republics of Cen
tral and South America. though all
have continued on friendly terms with
this government. 1t is much to be
hoped that the forthcoming congress
Will wipe away this distrust which is
unworthy our sister republics and most
unfair to us. and that the influence of
tic European immigrants. both in
commercial and political matters. may
lie minimzed.
One of the chief subjects to be dis
cussed at the congress vii be that of
inter-republican arbitration. 1t is n
part of the regular program of the re-
publics south of Mexico to be in hot
water with their ne!ghbors or to be in
civil strife through the ambition OF
some would-be dictator. 1t may be
that their temperament makes any
form Of arbitration impossible, but If
this government could lay down some
practical plan for the peaceful settle
ment of these controversies, it would
be long step toward winning their
confidence and gaining the commercial
advantages of a reciprocal system.

Tho Elections Of 1901.

This will be very much OF an of
elco ton. no congressional elections and,
owing to changes in state constitutions.
there will be fewer state elections than
during any year since the close of the
Civil War. In the states where elec-
tions will be held. there will not be
great interest in the contests outside
the state borders, and there Is little
doubt in advance of the results. ii IS
not to be regretted that the country VIII
have light political diet. this year.
1t had an abundant feast in 1900 and
now has lot of business to attend to.
No pivotal or doubtful state has an
election this year. In the South num-
crous states will elect officers ana
legislatures, but their recent changes
in election laws will probably result as
they We're intended. namely 10

nant party. In Massachusetts,, New

claim that the Republicans will name
the winning ticket. There is talk that
Minister Conger, now arriving home
from Pekin. may be made the next
governor of Iowa. Governor Nash Will
he renomina ted in Ohio. No doubt Tom
Johnson firmly believes that the people
are clamoring to make him their gov
ernor but he modestly allows that it
will take him two or three years to get
Cleveland into Il running order which
will suit him. BY that time he may ex-
pect to step from the mayors chair to
the White House. But that is another
story, 50 Bryan insists.
Perhaps the most interesting battle
at the polls will be bought. next fail.

The official statement that $1,000
cats We're killed by the authorities OF
New York city, last year, is startling
to others than the cats. And there is no
knowing how many feline lives were
ended by small boys. dogs and aroused
sleepers. There is an organization
known as the Bergh Society which
has charge of the official cat killing in
dustry in New York. The old saying
tells us that care kills the cat but the
Bergh Society uses gas as being
quicker The need of such as society
is sorely felt in smaller cities where
superfluous and neglected cats are oft
