 ing laudable anxiety to control the fac tors that make for strife at home or abroad. We cannot ignore the pacit1c tendency of the times when we reflect that Russia has been at war for the greater part of a twelvemonth, and no power in Europe has taken sides in the contest. Had Europe held Napoleon Bouaparte there would have been fight ing from the shores of the Atlantic to the present theater of operations; but while the two great powers have been locked together in a life-and-death struggle, Europe has been arming her self with treaties of arbitration, the modern form of insurance against war
 Perhaps Great Britain and France have had most to say about the main tenance of European peace, and in the ratification of the e'Anglo-French treaty by the French chamber of deputies, the sober citizen of either country must find matter for sincere gratitude to his government. It is an open secret that many forces were opposed to the An glo-French convention. Germany feared it; Russia was covertly hostile: the forcible-feeble policy of the vatican was directed against the arrangement through the medium of the discredited royallst party; and the Combes cabinet was in such stormy waters that some Jonah had to be thrown overheard to tighten the ship. As it happened, Gen. Andre suflced, but it may be said, without fear of contradiction, that the action of the chamber was by no means a foregone conclusion.
 We have seen an arbitration treaty signed by Portugal and Great Britain, and though much has been made of the long-standing friendship between the two countries, 1t Is well to remember now that relations between London and Lisbon were strained nearly to break ing point in the. early nineties, when many questions arising in Africa threatened to develop serious trouble, Thege WAS no de6nita breach. but tho

CHICAGO, Dec 19.-The sash and door factory of Philip Rim, & Co, here, was destroyed by fire that for time threatened to spread to two large gas supply tanks of the Peoples Light and Coke company. Both of the tanks were full of Illuminating gas, and 1t was only by the hardest kind of work that the firemen kept the flames from over heating the gas tanks and causing an explosion that would have brought death to hundreds of persons and de. stroyed every building in the vicinity.

From the Baltimore Sun, we learn of a new departure that has taken quite a hold upon
 Eastern cities. Some of the parks and unused lots are turned ovartmlhe schs algfer the estab- 'iishmenl of gardens, which are planted and worked by the pupils and are for the study of botany and nature. There's too much garden making at home for the average Western boy and wild flowers are too easy to secure for the study of botany to ever popu- larize this idea in the life of the far West or sunny South.

The world sustained a greater loss than the death of Admiral Makaroff in that of Verestchagin, his guest, who went down with him. The great Russian painter was to art what Balzac, Zola and Tolstoi were to letters. He was the greatest portrayer of realism in art. Makaroff is to be sue ceeded by Skrydloff, but where shall be found the successor of Verestchagin? And the press dispatches devote four lines to the great painter and columns to the great admiral. What a strange commentary on our boasted Christian civilization! The man skilled in the art of killing his fellowman in warfare is ever the hero. The destroyer is more honored than he who creates, save by the few. We profess the gospel of peace on earth, good will toward men, and are ever ready to fly at our neigh bors' threats. The wheels of cizvi..zation revolve even more slowly than the mills of the gods grind. Whea the tocsin of war sounds, the heritage of barbarism in our blood breaks out through the veneer of civilization. We praise the virtues of peace, and forgiveness and worship force. We deplore the shedding of blood and preserve in song and story and marble the shedders of it. :" The Locker On in Little Rock Gazette.

United States Senator Stone

United States Senator Stone, M'paoufi, who, before his cleo .1cn1Jnfl sI1fl to the senate, was a recog- nized power in the lobby of the legislature, recently admitted in court that he had represented a schoolbook corporation. He de- nied going before .the schoolbook committee as a board, but said he had appeared before the diff lferent members of the committee nuas individuals in the interest of his employers. In like manner he admitted appearing on behalf of street railway corporations be- fore members of the state board of equalization as individuals, but not as a board. Attention is called to this because of the strange code of ethics which fails to recognize the fact that appear ing before individual members of board or committee and seek ing to influence them as individ- uals before they meet as a whole, intensifies rather than palliates the lobby evil. Argument in open committee on pending legis- lation is permissible at all times, and if the work of the lobby was restricted to that ther@ would be. little cause for complaifh. Prac- tically all the corrupt work of the lobby is done by appearing before the individual gelnbers singly. The most as lnding

MONDAY evening about o'clock
the peace and quietude of the little
city were disturbed and the citizens
awakened from their lethargy for
short time by the sharp reports
of three pistol shots in rapid sue
cession. AS a result of this nerve
SCATTERING occurrence Charles Short
was arraigned Tuesday morning
before Squire Gillette on the charge
of assault to murder Jas. Quinn,
jr., and his bond fixed at $1,000.
The affair occurred on the corner
of Bowie street and Arkansas Pass
avenue, and Quinn and Short had
been guying' each other, when
Quinn was about thirty yards dis
tant Short called to him, and when
he looked around, fired. Quinn
began moving off at a rapid rate,
two more shots following him,
greatly accelerating his speed.
Putting the pistol in his hip pocket,
Short walked to the court house
yard and then to Thompson s stable
where he surrendered to Constable
Darby. Fortunately the street was
about deserted at the time and no
one Was hurt Marks of where the
bullets struck may be seen in sew
eral places along the sidewalk,
Aside from being out of breath and
badly scared, Quinn was not hurt.

Short spent some weeks in Browns

of a woman acquaintance: "Vain
as well as vulgar minded, she pro-

Shakespeare and was partial to
reading his plays aloud, and consid-
cred that she detained the speeches
exceedingly well. On one occasion
after charging upon her reverence

WHAT WE NAY EXPECT

WHAT WE My EXPECT
When the Socialists are in power
the civilized world over, we shall
all be regulated in a fashion that
no autocrat would dare attempt.
This tendency of the Socialists was
displayed in a recent debate in the
town council of the French city of
Brest which IS Socialist and Re
evolutionary to a man.
After deciding upon the dismiss
al Of practically the whole police
force for daring to interfere with
the lawless outbreak By the lockers
and laborers on strike, and passing
a resolution calling upon the COM
mander of the troops either to with
draw or disarm his men, the octroi
duties were ordered to be raised on
all luxuries such as oats, hay, and
straw needed for the horses of the
rich, also upon poultry and game.
A further special tax of 12fr. was
voted upon scented soap. My
wife has to put up with plain yell
low soap. said one member, and
if the fine ladies must have theirs
scented let them pay for it. Some
of them set up such a smell in the
street that they give honest folk
headache. The observation met
with cries of Hear, hear.
Finally the maximum duty was
decided upon for fuIl-length look
Eyeglasses and dressing-tables, the
deputy-mayor pointing out that
members wives had to be content
with nard mirrors, whereas grander
folk were not satisfied unless they
could see themselves from head to
foot. Cloud cries of "Shame!"
and Make the beggars pay!'
When the meeting was adjourn
ed, the Mayor intimated that sew
eral other propositions of a similar
character would probably be
brought forward at the next meet
ing of the council.
The late Herbert Spencer re-
marked once that when the triumph
of Socialism came its tyranny
would be found quite unbearable.
It is bad enough nowadays what
with the innumerable faddists all {
about us, some of whom manage :
to live by their movements. - The
passion for regulating other peo-
pies Iives,is deeply planted in {
many a breast. Tie anti-tobacco
crowd would deprive men of their
pipes and cigars, to say
nothing of cigarettes, and so take
from the daily sum of human tran
guilty. Not SO long ago, Boston
paper had a communication which
said the writer hoped soon to see
the end of the tobacco habit, when !
we will wage war on Pie" Think
Of that Perhaps under Socialism
will be perfected, but !
then, even more than now, every
man will be a replica of all the
rest. and as for women-well, the
Brest town councillors have shown ]
us what we may expect for the

Under the above caption the Hart ford Courant thus resents the nihilistic attempt to cloud the title of the czar- evitch:
 The Nihilists and revolutionaries of Russia have started a particularly cruel story about the new Russian baby They say that the czarina ,eally gave birth to a girl. as she has been in the habit of doing and that ihe lusty baby boy of a peasant woman was substituted for the czar's child. Their explanation is that the political Giscontent in Russia is so general that a boy baby was an imperative noces- sity.
