ADVANCE OF ARBITRATION.

THE sessions of the National Arbitration and
4 Peace Congress, to be held in New York
next Sunday will be largely attended, as there is
great demand for accommodation OF the dele
gates. who are expected from different parts Of
the country There will be ten regular sessions
OF the conference overflow meetings are to be
held and two additional sessions provided Many
of the leaders of thought including President
Butler Of Columbia University, will participate.
In recent years the growth of the sentiment for
peace and arbitration has been remarkable, both
concerning wars between nations and industrial
conflicts That such a sentiment develops and
inreases is a tribute to the onward march of
civilization The expense and the industrial loss
occasioned by great wars and the maintenance
of huge armies are realized to-day more than
ever, even from a material point Of view and re-
gardless of humanitarian considerations. Indus
trially. the movement for peaceful solution OF
differences between capital and labor has greatly
grown. There is hardly a large dispute that
arises between employers represented in the
large corporations and their workmen which
has not been satisfactorily solved by arbitration
o.. even conferences between the two parties in
volved.
arms, destroy wealth This fact, becoming more
and more recognized, makes men stop and think
before they engage in a war Of any sort.
The increasing recognition OF the principle Of
arbitration has been a gain to the weath-creatng
classes, whose prosperity and happiness are bound
up in the methods of the distribution Of wealth
as well as its production.
CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS

interest between the State and the public service

how the State should deal justly with them and
how on their part they should deal fairly with
the State, is being thoroughly considered in most
cities throughout the country.

and authority on municipal plants, suggests that

might be, be Represented by half the membership

HUGHES APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.

THE appeal of Governor Hughes to the peo-
n pie of New York has had its effect, The
machine leaders there who have been disposed to
hold up the reform bills suggested by the Gov
erhor, are showing signs Of yielding.
Former Lieutenant Governor Woodruff, who
has never been accused of pronounced views to-
wards reform, has yielded and declares that the
measures suggested by the Governor will be
adopted before the Legislature of the Empire
State adjourns. If Mr. Woodruff's predictions
prove true, it will be victory for public senti-
ment, which is all powerful when rightly directed
along the proper lines.
The voters can secure almost anything they
desire provided they make themselves heard
This has been demonstrated here in Delaware
The coming city election will show Still further
the power or the indifference Of public sentiment
in Wilmington. Several measures suggested by
the Peoples League will be decided on at this
election, and the voters will have an opportunity
to declare whether there is real live public SEN
timcnt in Wilmington.

The appointment of Mr. Charles r. Jones to
be police commissioner by Judge Spruance is
deserving recognition of services we'll rendered.
On the whole there has been little complaint of
the manner in which the department has been
conducted, and it is a qualification to know that
the same course will be continued in the future.

upon the principle Of the referendum and is
willing that Wilmington alone should test that
plan. In other words, it fears that lemon has
