.cision" To ask a special guarantee to that
effect would be superfuous. if nothing more.
The United States thus being exempted from
the responsibilities of either arbitrating or guar
anteeing it is further to be observed that 1t is
exempted from any challenge to the historic
principles which have controlled its policy tow
ard its Southern neighbors. The Treaty OF Inc
Hague. it will be remembered, was concluded
under a special proviso TO the effect that noth-
ing contained in it should be SO construed as
ITO require the REIMBURSEMENT by the United
States of its traditional attitude toward purely
american questions In other words, the
Monroe Doctrine is not imperilled. 1t is not
even involved 1t is rather supported and vim
dicated. for the submission of the dispute to The
Hague means that a settlement will not be
made by further exercise of force. and Of course
no rational man can dream that the arblfral
verdict will provide for any territorial cessions
or any exercise of political control such as would
violate that Doctrine,
The DAYS news means then. that the United
States is to remain free from embarrassing COM
plications that the Monroe Doctrine is to be re-
spected that the differences between Venezuela
and other powers are to be adjusted not by
force, but by reason and equitable Judgment,
and that the international tribunal at Inc
Hague which has been so widely regarded with
so much hope as making for peace among the
nations is to be used, trusted and honored by
its creators and not neglected and repudiated
These are things upon which hearty congratu-
lations are due to the administration at wash
ington for the large and consistent part whlcn
il has played In efecting them, and TO the actual
parties to the controversy for the reasonable
temper and amicable spirit in which they have
finally come TO accept them.

FOR THE HOSPITALS.

That part Of the work of the Hospital Satur-
day and Sunday Association which is prose-
cuted directly through synagogues and churches
begins to-day and ends tomorrow. We are in
formed thu there is scarcely hospital in the
city which is not running behind, and that in
most instances boards of trustees make both
ends Of their financial year meet only by draw
ing on reserve funds the private pockets
OF their members. 1t is certainly true as
rule, that the collections taken up in houses of
worship at this season are urgently needed and
well employed Those who are conscientiously
and wisely opposed to irregular, haphazard
charity, which is commonly no charity at all,
but rather tends to increase than mitigate hu-
man misery, should gladly embrace the oppor-
tunity of contributing to the support of institu-
tons which carry on works Of mercy with
knowledge and prudence.
The people Of this city have reason to be
proud OF its hospitals and grateful for the pri-
vate munihcence without which they would in
eEitably have been much less numerous and
efhcient- To their high standard long recog-
nized throughout the world our distinguished
visitor from Vienna, DR. Lorenz has recently

HACKS FOR LOCAL STATESMEN

In several OF the decades of the nineteenth

might have been, was laid at rest, his funeral

riages and Of black gloved politicians which
brought moisture to the eyes OF even the most
hardened of ward heeers. The bills which
were paid out Of the city treasury in those
times for the enrichment Of embalmers. under
takers and keepers Of livery stables, bedewed
the taxpayers with tears. They knew they
were bereft-in their pocketbooks at least
whenever a Tammany placehoder turned his
face to the wall, and they bewailed their dis

But 1t not only professions to cemeteries

big town. When visitors Of note or notoriety
came to Manhattan nothing was too good for

there was also board of assistants Each

high livers charged with the duty of giving
King Kalakaua good time. He got it. He
could not move anywhere without a procession

Those days Of revelry are long since gone
Many year has passed since the ruler of Homo
