promise that could be negotiated, namely. let the states that grow cot ton spin all their crops. the other states and other countries taking raw material in the form of yarns. Such a compromise would enable the mills of Lancashire and other mill localities in Europe to go along a long while, and this country could well afford to ac- cept tho compromise, for the task of spinning from 10000 900 to 15,O00,O ,O0O bales a year is a very considerable one, and every spindle, present and prospective. will bez needed if such a task is to fall to this country. Such a division of labor covering twenty-five years would enable every European mill to go on to it's limit weaving goods suited to it's customers. Other wise all the mills must soon or late be moved to the cotton fields.

Money for Higher Education.

'Millions~are now being contributed by individuals for university education in this country where thousands were do- mated in the early days" said a promi- nent educator.
 When the Methodist church asked three years ago for twenty millions of dollars for the cause of education it was thought that the scheme was chimerical It Is now announced that the entire amount has been pledged, and great pre- psrations are being made for its expendi- ture. This large sum, however, is only one of the big amounts secured in recent years, or even months. Tn ten years the University of Chicago has accumulated over twelve millions and wants as much more. MT. Carnegie gave ten millions to Scotch universities, and a similar amount to stimulate education in this country, not counting the more than five millions given to Pittsburg for technical education. Mir Rockefeller is said to be contemplating ten or twenty millions as a gift to the new general board of education. In the meantime Yale and Harvard have secured millions in small collections. Princeton has done exceedingly well, and now asks for the modest sum of tweive millions more to strengthen the university. Nor must the millions invested for the benefit of American students at Oxford by Cecil Rhodes be forgotten.

"REMINISCENCES OF THE
 OLD TIME LAND LORD

poets not only to be housed and provided with the best the market affords in the way of food, but to be given many of the luxuries formerly optalnable only in private houses. A frst-class hostelry must provide valets for the men and maids for the women; be prepared to serve elaborate dinners in the apart ments at an hours notice; furnish tele- phone service, both city and long dis tance, in every room; act as a deposit tory for money and jewelry; secure good seats for the opera and theater, and per form a thousand and one duties of a personal nature.
 The modern landlord could not begin to look after the comfort of his guests, even if he so desired. All he can do is to watch the heads of departments and sec that they perform their duties in a proper manner He would personally like to know those who honor his house with their patronage but that would be phys ically impossible. His chief ambition is to build mp large and profitable con stituency among the travelling public by making his establishment the most at- tractive in the city.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1902-12-27
The caIvn noclrina-

Sig. Calvo, the historian. was a na- tive of Argentina. It was he who laid down the doctrine that foreign na- tion had no right to enforce the col lection of debt against citizen or the state itself except in the courts of that country. All the South and Cen tral American countries readily and naturally adopted the doctrine, for it released them from all responsibility for debts contracted abroad by citi- zens in their individual capacities.
 This country has never recognized the Calvo doctrine as applied to Latin America. It holds good here. for no one thinks of holding Uncle Sam re- sponsible for debts contracted by pro motors or reconstructionists in Eu- rope. Our states and concerns must tote their own sl1illets, and if they do not, the foreign holders of their se7 curities have no recourse to Uncle Sam, although they are free to work the courts of the country for all their worth.
 President Castro does not see why the Calvo doctrine is not as good in Venezuela as in the United States. Theoretically he is correct, bat practi- cally speaking he is out of range, all though the Americans have recognized the rule in the asphalt case in Vene- zuela. The Germans and British hold, however, that their subjects cannot get justice in the Venezuelan courts. and they therefore refuse to recognize the Calvo doctrine.
 It is, however, good international law that a subject must first attempt to obtain justice in the courts of the country before he can rightfully ask his own country to intervene in his behalf Hall and Phillimore and Bluntschli, all present the doctrine as part of international law.
 The arbitrators in the Salvador case and President Diaz have, however, ig- nored the Calvo doctrine, and the probability is that the Latin-Americans will have to yield tho principle of non- intervention especially when the claim crises between foreign subject and the state itself in America. This is the case to some extent at least with the British and German claims against Venezuela, and President Castro's con tention that they are barred by the Calyo doctrine will not be apt to give him immunity from the payment of a just debt.

From the Washington Times.

From the Washington Times.
 The old-time landlord, picturesque fig ure in fiction and an important factor in social and business life until within a few years. is fast passing away. He be gan to disappear from New York nearly twenty-five years ago; and now 1t is as difficult to find a genuine specimen as it is to discover an egg of the great auk, al though in some of the smaller cities and country towns he still welcomes the com ing or speeds the parting guest.
 When I was a boy the landlord of the chief hotel of the town was regarded as most important parsonage. He knew everybody not only in the immediate vi- cinity, but for hundreds of miles in every direction. He was a storehouse of in formation, and knew more family secrets than the family doctor He made the guests who stopped at his hotel feel that he was personally interested in every one of them. He called them familiarly by name, inquired after their wives, children or swcethearts, sympathized with them in misfortune and rejoiced with them in DfOSDelllN. HIS HtdliJ lldiluSlohO CAA NA irving made the stranger feel at home, and on departing made his journey seem all the pleasanter.
 The evolution of the modern hotel is re- sponsible for the shelving of the old-time landlord. There is no place for him in the great caravansarics of today. He be- longs to the days of the stage coach and the packet lines. The travelling public has no time to make his acquaintance or to exchange with him views on the news of the day.
 Then, too, he is an exceedingly busy man himself He often has several hun dred men and women in his employ and his hotel shelters from one to two thou sand people every night. He must be a man of great executive ability in order to so manage his establishment that his guests shall be satisfied with the service they receive and that the stockholders shall get suitable return for the money invested in the hotel.
 He rarely ever sees the people whose names are upon the register, unless he meets them accidentally in the corridor | or in the office In time he gets to know a few of the more prominent of his | guests, but that is all
 Those who patronize the hotels come Tn direct contact with the clerks and the manager. All complaints are referred to the latter for investigation, as he Is the executive head of the establishment He sees the guests whenever they desire to consult with him on any subject. He rep resents the landlord on all occasions. The landlord himself only appears when the manager has been unable to satisfy the demands Of the complainant. He is, as it were. a court of last resort, from | whose decision there is no appeal

Raise tho Blockade.

It is widely felt and expected that arbitration of some sort will be adopted as the best and most feasible method of settling the Venezuelan trouble. There seems in fact to be no other way out of it--no other way in which Venezuela can be made to pay what she justly owes, for block ade brings no money to the allies.
 It may be that President Roosevelt will be the arbitrator; it may be that The Hague court will take the case, and it is possible that Minister Bowen will be asked to hear and decide it.. No matter who may become the arbi- trator, there is one thing this country should insist upon, namely, pending a decision by the arbitrator the block ade should be raised and trade be per mitted to resume its wonted freedom in Venezuelan ports.
 The allies have no moral right to inflict upon other nations heavy losses in trade while the tedious course of arbitration is in progress. They may have the right of force and interna- tional law on their side, but all other law, including common justice and equity, would be against them, simply because a blockade pending arbitra- tion would be ineffective and useless. It would be an arbitrary proceeding by strong governments against weak government.
 Whatever the administration does in the Venezuelan case, it should as a corallary insist that the blockade be raised and all war efforts stopped while arbitration is proceeding to a decision. This should be Uncle Sam s ultimatum in the case.

Only Fifty Days Mnre.

When congress reconvenes on Jan uary 5 but fifty working days will re- main of the F'ifty-seyenth congress. In that brief period the trusts are to be regulated, the ship combine fed with subsidies, the militia reovganized, three states admitted, the banking sys- tenn reconstructed a la Fowler, not to mention score or more of lesser projects like the Appalachian park bill.
 The only bills that must be passed are the appropriation bills, and their proper consideration will absorb a good share of the fifty working days, and the chances are that the other subjects will go over to the Fifty-eighth con gross. The trusts and benefciaries-- all of one piece-do not intend to per init any adverse legislation, and both subjects will go over to 1904 to be settled at the polls. The tariff ere ates, maintains and fosters the trusts, and the trusts in turn stife competi- tion and take away opportunities of young men to rise to proprietorship in this country. These baleful and baneful creatures of the republican party will be up against the people in November, 1904, when a full and final decision will be rendered.
 There is little probability of action in this congress on the statehood bill, and the only bill that may be pressed through is the ship subsidy grab, which has passed the senate, and is in the house, where the gag rules ad- init of its passage in a single day. If the republicans can screw their courage to the sticking place it may be passed, although it is one of the most iniquitous bills before the pres ent congress.

TransportatIon of corpses.

The recent action of the Central Traf- hc association in voting to charge $100 in addition to full tariff rate, for the transportation of a corpse, irrespective of the distance to be travelled has aroused the opposition of the undertakers of cen tral Illinois, and they propose to fight the new rate if 1t Is placed In effect" said an undertaken yesterda.-.
 "rhe Illinois men declare that the ac- tion Is Illegal and uniustinable, and that the only possible excuse for such actior is the desire of the railroads to get rid of this business and turn it over to the express companies. In the case where a corpse is accompanied by a friend or relative, 1t Is cheaper to forward by bag gage, as two fares will carry both. When the express company is called upon the rate Is twice the single passenger tariff to the destination consigned. regardless of whether the corpse is accompanied by some friend or not.
 "The Illinois board of health has regu- latons governing the transportation Of a dead body, and other states have similar rules. It is claimed by the un- dertekers that these rules are superior to any that the railroads can frame. and that if corpse is presented for transportation at the old rate that the companies can not legally collect the s1oo additional fec It is said that at the coming conventions of the state and na- tional undertakers' associations the new rate will be discussed and steps taken to fight it. It is thought that the various roads will not place such rate in ef- feet without consulting leg-l authori fies ''

The Splitting Habit.

'The ordinances in various cities against splitting on sidewalks in churches and in cars are being strictly enforced as a rule" said a western man iA the lobby.
 Splitting is a needless act, or, if un- avodable. should be performed in private and without offense As a matter of health. the weight of testimony accu- mulating shows splitting to be one of the commonest methods by which disease is spread. A puddled floor or sidewalk is disgusting and a contamination and in- jury to clothing. A splitter with infected lungs can distribute consumption in the breeze. The way to stop splitting is to stop. There is no difficulty about it when the resolution has once been formed. It is repulsive act at best"
