init to the decision of the internation- al tribunal. These are the entrusted position of the North and South American republics; and the physical protection which the general govern ment throws around our repudiating debtor states enhances the moral duty of the United States to provide some remedy. Moreover, the political cir cumstances under which these state debts were contracted emphasizes the ethical plight of the United States, on this question. The Washington au- thorities were competent to create and foster the state governments that issued the bonds. Everything done by
 those reconstructed governments has
 been stamped with national approval.

ALICE IN POLITICS.

Among the oddities of the election is the story that young Fred Landis, the Republican phrasemaker, owes his defeat to the presidents daughter. She did not intend to defeat hinl-in fact, went with her husband into the Hoosier district with very decided purpose to help the young man. She meant we'll, but her appearance, so it is said, brought about dscord work ed disappointment, aroused jealousies and all these things contributed to the downfall of Landis. When it was announced that she would appear in Indiana and be present with her hus- band at Marion, Logansport and oth CT towns in Landis district, the wo- men thought to make social as well as a political visit. Receptions were planned on great scale, committees appointed, and Alice was made the chief figure at several functions. All the women of the district could not be placed on the committees, and in issuing the invitations hundreds were either forgotten or Intentionally left off the list. This was a grave mis- take. A woman neglected is almost a woman scorned, and all the world knows what a woman scorned is apt to do. The women who were left off the committees or forgotten when in vitations to the receptions were issued all have husbands, brothers or sweet hearts. the neglected women grew in dignant their husbands. brothers and sweethearts joined them in this and knifed Landis at the polls to get even. The moral of this is, if there is any moral to it, that women should keep out of politics, whether with their husbands or not.

\ PECULIAR POSITION.

From a sinSularly novel point of view MT. Edward l., Andrews points out in the November number of the North American Review that the United States, which in all conscience should array it's government on the side of international arbitration as against war, has thus far shown d markedly reserved attitude. When general arbitration treaties were be- fore the senate recently. the un- willingness of the defaultinG states of the Union to submit to arbitration of their debts to foreigners contributed largely to the rejection of the interna- tional arrangements" Mir. Andrews recommends a remedy of this evil to the national treasury. Otherwise he believes the position of the United States to be as follows:
 Our state governments, having an- nulled the forensic remedies against them, now refuse to arbitrate. On the other hand, our sister republics. which are liable to forcible compul- sion, open their tribunals to foreign claimants, and. if these courts be in- adequate to determine this class of controversies. they are willing to sub

TUE, ARMY As \ CAREER.

As recruiting party for the niled States nav has opened up an office in this city, an article en- titled "The Army as a Career by Bri.adier General William II. Car ter may be interesting to Graphic readers. What Gen. Carter says about the army will apply with equal force to the navy of the Unit ed States. Tine General discusses very frankly and plainly the ad- vantages and the disadvantages of the military profession in this coun- trN. While admitting that for th g officer dependent on his pay for his Livelihood the life is not without it's peeuniary hafdships. General Car
 ter deplores the fact that young men of wealth do not avail them selves in greater numbers of the army as a field for patriotic service and laudable distinction. To quote:

Many of the young men of wealth who have thus quilted an honorable service which abounds in fine traditions, have taken up an active business or professional career. Others have sacrificed their trained talents to the idle life of leisure set. which, in America. has few resources
