The great difficulty in obtaining q
water supply at Penn's Grove has been
given considerable attention by the
Borough Council OF late, and has 70 say
the least, been very discouragng both
to the contractor and the town. The
franchise was given to K. U. Howell OF
New York who heads a company, and
water was to have been turned on in
six months, but nothing ia in sight ex-
cept the foundation for the standpipe.
1t is not the fault of the contractor,
however. Two or three wells have been
bored without SUCCESS. Tbs last one
yielded flow, hut after chemist pro
nounced it the worst he ever examined
it was abandoned, and the contractor
states that IL he can be shown where
there is a supply he will bore for it. As
the last resort a we'll will be sunk
inside the meadow bank on Asa g.
Turner's land, north of the town. II
sand and gravel is struok, through
which to filter water, the river will be
used.

International Arbitration.

After the lapse of about ten years T decision has been given in favor Of the owners of American vessels seized by Russia while engaged in sealing. The total award is close on to one hundred thousand dollars, and Russia is fully able to pay the bill. The matter was considered before a Dutch arbitrator sitting at The Hague, and it is the sec ond decision this country has received recently at that place through the ap- plication of arbitration. The one case decided against the United States by King Oscar was a surprise to many Americans, who had come to consider that this country could never be in the wronG. But two decisions out of three. brought about in an orderly and friendly way, is warrant enough to em- phasize the idea of arbitration.
 Neither of the questions at issue was in itself serious, yet there is no telling how far apart nations may draw as the result of the most ordinary contro- versy. The sealing decision handed down in the arbitration court at The Hague is to settle a dispute that has been hanging fire too long. The pace has now been set, however, and the great peace center of the world may soon be established at The Hague
 The operations of thatsinternational court have been tried in minor matters. and there Is no reason why they should not be tried in more serious affairs as they arise from time to time. For in stance it might be well for Great Brit ain and Germany to insist upon Ven ezuela going to The Hague for the ad- justment of the pending trouble with the little South American republic. At the same time we have no notion that Venezuela will be foolish enough to hold back to the extent of making a hostile demonstration necessary. The little republic has had internal troubles of it's own-not yet removed-and 1t cannot afford the more expensive lux ury of standing against two powerful nations like Great Britain and Ger many

The Guilty Exposed.

We knew it would come "The Mur- phys" have been exposed again. It has been demonstrated by few demo- cratic "gernalists" that while there is some mystery about it and the problem is not exactly susceptible of explana- tion, the failure of the United States senate to pass the statehood bill before the opening prayer on Monday last, was due to "the Murphys." The fail ure of the president to endorse the om- nibus bill in his message, was charge able to "the Murphys." Worst of all and here the proof is at hand-the ad- verse report of Senator Beveridge and phys; for were not these same Mur-

phys seen in the company of the sena- tors more than once? We repeat, the proof is furnished as to the last charge, for concretely stated here is the demo- cratic proposition.
 "A United States senator is ready to change his position on a great question in consideration of few free meals. railway and carriage rides. Mir Frank Murphy provided the senators with a special train. with lunches, and other courtesies; ergo, his failure to secure the senator's pledges to the statehood bill is proof tha. he gave them per mission to report against it."
 We must be prepared for slow mentll processes on the part of the "gernal- ist" who temporarily conducts the Phoenix Democrat, therefore it may be a day or two before he gives us the corol- lary of his proposition, namely: Any senators or was in their company for any length of time had a hand in mak- ing up the adverse report; ergo, 6 num- Der of democrats, such as Mark Smith, Clark, and others must share the odium with the Murphys.'' ''
 The profound democratic logic to which we have alluded is too deep for us. and we cannot help it if it appears to be inconsistent in spots. For in- stance, since "the Murphys" are al- ready responsible for so much, it hardly seems wise to shriek for them to post off to Washington to look after the omnibus bill.
 Again, it is somewhat bewildering tO senators should have been exchanges for the courtesies mentioned, and as- sured in the next breath that no courtesies whatever should have been extended. On this latter proposition, however, we begin to feel that firm ground is under us, and that we under stand the democratic position better. Indeed. here we have the true moss back democratic doctrine. Why was any attention shown the senators? Why didn't "the Murphys' and Gov ernor Brodie go to the polished and cul- tured "gernalists'' aforesaid for ad- vice? Had they done so, and followed the democratic idea, the senators would have been compelled to walk from Ash Fork to Phoenix. The hotel at Pres colt would have been closed in theIr faces, and at least one of them would have been dropped down the shaft Of the Congress mine. At Phoenix the fire department hose would have been turned upon them, and the governor would have locked them up in the basement of the capitol until they agreed to report the omnibus bill favor ably. At least this is the inference We must gather from the howls of the Phoenix Democrat and Phoenix En- terprise.
 We beg to congratulate the great body of respectable and intelligent democrats in Arizona who refuse to take their instructions from some of the able democratic "gernalists.''

We have not communicated with the Hon. Robert E.. Morrison, and do not know whether it would be possible for him to leave the territory at this time, but if it is possible for him to get away the people of Prescott should invite him to go to Washington in behalf of the omnibus bill, and should formally au- thorize him to speak in the name of Prescott and the territory of Arizona.

Success in Sight.

That is an encouraging message Stanley Quay sends to the people Of Arizona through The Republican this morning. It was two days ago that the great Pennsylvania senator was re- ouested to kindly telegraph his opinion of the outlook for the omnibus state hood bill. Before expressing himself for publication he carefully reviewed the situation, and the dispatch states his deliberate judgment.
 You are advised. he telegraphs, that in my judgment the omnibus bill will pass the senate unless the opposi- tion resorts to obstructive tactics. and such obstruction iscontinued."
 There need be no fear that the bill will be defeated by the obstructive tao tics of the opposition. Filibustering IS something at which two sides can play, and it happens that the advocates or statehood are in position to place that issue against everything else. And we must have proof before we believe that Senators -Beveridge, Burnham and Dilz lingham will attempt to follow up their adverse report by a filibuster against the admission of all three territories.
 Another encouraging feature is the Bard incident. By his slanderous at tack upon Arizona the California sena tor has rallied to the defense of this ter ritory and to the active support of the omnibus bill some very powerful friends in the east-friends who heretofore have its of the statehood question. It ap pears that the net result of the Bard attack will be two or three additional votes for the bill.
 There is every reason for citizens of Arizona to have unoounded hope and courage. As matters stand today, c majority of the senate is with us. It should be the endeavor of every friend of the territory to see that by tact and good temper this majority is held in tact It should be remembered that majority of the senators opposed to us have taken that position in good faith, and in no spirit of hostility toward the people of these territories. It Is foolish in the extreme. therefore, to harshly criticise such senators, or subject them to abuse of any kind. It is only in such cases as that of Bard's that the food gates of popular indignation should be opened.
 It is manifest that the republicans O. the territory have great work 60 per form. Republicans must refuse to con- slider seriously the howis of democratic politicians and newspapers. With the selfshness always characteristic of pro- fessional politicians. this class of demo- crats is engaged in a desperate effort to evade some of the responsibility for defeat in case the statehood bill fails. The republicans of the territory can rest assured that the mysterious in- situations set afloat against the good faith of Governor Brodie, former Gov ernor Murphy and MT. Frank Murphy are absolutely without foundation. These gentlemen have done and are doing telling work for statehood, as the record at Washington in time will show. Every republican in the terri tory who knows a republican senator should telegraph and write such sena- tor in behalf of the omnibus bill

BRIDGE KEEPER FOULLY MURDERED.
w. F. Hudson Found Dead In His Room
Near Camden With Gaping Wound
In his Back.
THE State.l

Friday night one of the most shock
ing murders ever recorded in the Grim
inal annals of South Carolina was COM
mitted on the outskirts of Camden. W.
F. Hudson, a young man about 26years
of age, and the keeper of the toll bridge
across the Wateree river on the road to
Columbia was found lying dead across
his bed with gaping wound in his
back. The murder had evidently been
executed by means of a double bar
relied shot gun and the wound indi-
Gated that both barrels had been dis
charged.
No cause can be assigned for the
crime. Mr.. Hudson was highly re-
spected young man and was thought to
have no enemies. It was rumored that
he had become engaged in a difficulty
with some gypsies who had been en-
camped near the town but this is i'm
probable.
The crime was brutal in the extreme
and speedy vengeance will be dealt the
murderer if caught. At present every
effort is being made to disclose his
identity.
