OPPOSED TO ARBITRATION.
Democrats Will Make a Fight on
Treaties with Foreign
Countries.

IL the democrats carry out their
threats to oppose the arbitration
treaties they will furnish a new reason
why the American people should re.
joice at democratic defeat in the recent
election, says the st. Louis GlobeDem-
ocrat The Roosevelt administration
has been very active in framing arbi-
tration treaties in the past IL months.
We have compacts of this sort with
England. France. Italy, the Neither
lands a2d other countries. Some OF
these are now before the senate. The
others will be submitted TO that body
for action soon. In this work the SEN
ate Will be kept busy for many days of
the present short session.
1t is understood that practically all
of the republican senators favor the
treaties. Just why any republican
should oppose any of them. except pos
sibly on some points of detail which
can be readily changed, Is hard to I'M
derstand. The chances are that they
Will get the solid republican vote. Sec
rotary Hay has received high praise for
his activity in framing these peace
compacts with the great nations. None
OF them hamper the United States in
any way. None of them propose to
submit to arbitration the Monroe prin-
ciple or touch on any issue affecting
the honor or vital interest of the coun.
try. They propose to refer to an i'm.
partial tribunal the ordinary questions
on which the United States and some
OF the otner countries might be at
variance.
But the democrats, IL Is reported. are
TO make fight on all of them. Appar-
emily they imagine, or pretend they
imagine. that the treaties will some
now involve us in some sort OF al
lance with the countries with which
the agreements are entered into. Then.
too, the disposition to oppose every
thing that the republican party fayors
has something to do with democratic
hostility. II would seem that the chas-
tlsement which the democrats have re-
Gently received for their Obstructive
ness and bourbonism ought Ia have
taught them the folly of opposing the
measures which the republicans bring
forward. II is evident that the repub-
leans have the confidence Of an over
whelming majority OF the American
people. This policy of entering into
peace pacts with the rest OF the great
nations is in harmony with United
states traditions and conforms TO the
spirit Of the age. The present indica-
tions are that every one OF the arbitra-
ton treaties will be ratified notwith-
standing the opposition of the demo
cratic leaders.

Birth of the Moon.

Year by year the moon is getting
few inches more distant, and reversing
the argument. year by year, In the great
past, the moon was Learer TO us. Prof
George Darwin has shown that long.
lohg ago the moon revolved close TO the
earth, and still earlier formed part OF
this globe. From that time to the pres
ent he calculates al least 81 900 900 years
must have elapsed. The birth OF the
moon took place. therefore. somewhere
about that date in the past Sir Robert
Ball observed that when the moon was
near 20 us its attraction must have pro-
duced enormous tides. many times
greater than those that wash our shores
to-day. and he suggested that these
tides. by their powerful eroslons and
wasting Of the land. accelerated the
geological forces and 50 reduced the
tremendous periods which the biologists
have demanded.-London Telegraph.

DIFFICULT TRANSLATION.
How a Missionary on the Congo River
Complies His Grammar and
Dictionary.

When the American Bible society de-
cides that new race shall have BIZ
bic OF its own, a grant of money is
made and The first steps toward trans
lation are begun.
Let us suppose the recipient of such
a grant is Rev. Mr.. Smith, OF some re-
mote cannibal village on the Kongo
river In Central Africa. says a writer
in Everybody's. There he is; he has
only just arrived. Not one word OF
the gibberish around him does he un-
Serstand; and the natives may say the
same of his tongue. The first thing to
do is to build his house: and even
while he is building IL he has his note
book and pencil In one hand and his
trowel or brick or plank of wood
In the other.
The first phrase he gets to know is
What is this?" or What is that?"
These questions he fires of at his
assistants at all hours of the day and
night; has them repeated again and
again, and carefully notes down their
phonetic equivalents. This Is the
nucleus OF kind of dictionary and
grammar combined. and this tedious
work goes on simultaneously with the
building operations and the general
work OF winning the confidence OF the
natives, perhaps for year or two.
by that time the vocabulary Is pretty
complete. and Mr. Smith begins on the
work for which he has all this time
been preparing himself

remarkable copy Of the Bible the So
ciety has yet produced should be in

GUS edition de luxe presented to the
dowager empress OF China on her six
t.eth birthday by the British and

The book was manufactured by the
PRESBYTERIAN press in conjunction with
the siiversmiths Of Canton and had sill
yer covers embossed with bamboo and
pird designs. 4. was printed on the
very nnest paper obtainable, with the

circled every page 1t was incased in

NO sooner was this superb volume
presented to the dowager empress than
she sent her eunuchs from the palace to
the book store OF the Bible society TO
ask for a common copy. so that she
and her ladies might compare the two
texts. Her majesty evidently thought
the Christians had one version for the
palace and another for the hovel.
