The public mind should be gently set at rest
by the Hon. Henry Clay" Suffers Grafton on
sun spots. Now. spots do not seem germane
to any subject before Congress, so iii justice to
the pride of the East Side we feel that we ought
to explain just how this enlightenng discourse
came to be made. Congress was on the Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill and the Hon. Mr. Sui
zer WAS afflicted with irrepressbe curiosity
He demanded To know about the item of $4,000
for an astro-physicaI observatory. Nobody could
tell him, of course. Such ignorance in the House
is pardonable for we fail to find aStro-physics
in the latest cycIopTda. Has 1t got anything
To do with sun spots" demanded Mr. Sulzer
1t seemed a pretty shrewd guess of the East
Side scientists. he went on to talk about
sun spots as one of his specialtles
The only thing anybody knows about sun
spots" he declared lis that everybody that
studies them differs with everybody that
studies them" Quite so That is the way with
learning. What is the Of it. any way, If
1t leads II tame agreement! Any fool can agree
with the rest Of mankind it takes the wise and
learned to buffet each other with ideas. Mr..
Suzer is like everybody else who studies
spots. Il take nObodys opinion about them but
my own" That Is the advanced ground Of
skeptclsm the higher criticism" of science.
If a man had never looked at sun spot through
a smoked glass he might he layman enough To
take the opinion OF some student of sun spots
Mr. SulZer. for inStancc-abOut them. hut hav-
ing qualified himself in that elementary way
he is man with an opinion of his own in the
democracy of scientific ideas.
Taking no opinion but our about
spots. we still find Mr.. Suffers opinion Of great
interest. Il believe they are there" he said,
land that they are going TO stay there until
they 90 away. And they are not doing any
harm to anybody this earth"
In other words q sun spot is n sun SPOT and
you can't drive II off the face Of the sun by
saying such harsh words as astro-physics AT ii.
The House proved itself just as skeptcal as Mr..
Sulzer and took no opinions hut Us own and
voted for the sun spots.
For ourselves, feel that the last sun spot
did not get full justice. Pittsburg tried TO ap-
propriate the sun spot 10 itself-aS If Pittsburg
did not have glory enough just now By alleging
that a little shower in Pttsburg was portended

We do not see the wisdom of this happy

MR. C4RNEGIE'S TIEWS.
1rgues for an international Court
to Settle Disputes.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: You present two reasons why aGgreGa-
tions OF individuals called nations cannot be
prohibited from going TO war for settlement or
disputes with other nations. as English speaking
men are prohibited from resorting TO force for
the settlement of disputes with other men
The first is because When man is abso-
lutoIy convinced OF the righteousness of his con-
tention in a matter involving his integrity
honor he does not submit to arbitration and
agree to be cortent with any dccree-he appeals
to a court I fail 10 see any difference here
between nations and Observation-Disclosures the same
rule applied to nations there would necessarily
be an International court for the settlement IF
international disputes, but nations would be left
free to choose other tribunals or to allow the
dispute To fade away. many do into forget
fuluess just as men free 10 do either to-day.
The only action nations could not take then
would be to break tre presentations, like in
dviduals would be bound to preserve it.
The highly improbable case you cite. OF a
debtor owing 81 600 of borrowed money insisting
upon arbitration, would be Lest met by pointing
out that upon point so clear the shortest and
best way is to let the existing tribunal. the
court settle it, This does not involve recourse
to violence There Is no need of going to the
trouble and expense OF creating a new tribunal
to decide a question which. / am sure. never
has arisen in the annals Of business. When
disputes arise between men and arbitration Is
thot OF there are complicated questions in
volved different points of view. and something
he said upon both sides. which men OF ex-
periencc weigh properly. Arbitration is then
sometimes fairer than appeal to legal tribunals
and much quicker When two differ and
agree to submit the question friends familiar
with the issues involved II is equally creditabe
both.
There Is element Of truth in Your conten-
tion that aTbitrators are disposed 10 compromise.
bat the chief reason why litigants suspect COM
promise is that disnterested arbitrator find
there two sides ana both sides os the
question Each liugant only one.
In International disputes the interests involved,
generally speaking, pitiably small. tho
quite sufficient 20 lead To disastrous wars-much
better that the pound Of flesh should often b.
awarded. II is greatly IN favor Of arbitration
that as u rule neither disputant is quite con-
tented with the result, but neither Justly de-
serves all he expected.
The intimation of Presidents Roosevelt, Diaz
and three other Presidents TO Honduras and
Nicaragua that these powers would not he per

putes by arbitration. had sufficient power be-
hind il, hence it was unneeded LsiclI Your fine
editorial upon this action gave me much pleasure.

THE NAN AND THE STATE.

The completeness Of the analogy which he
supposes to exist between the submission OF in
dvidual disputes to courts and national or inter
national disputes TO arbitration is insisted upon
sy Mr.. Carnegie. in a letter printed in another
column Of The Tribune to-day. on the ground
that "were the same rule THAT is applied to
'indvdualsl applied TO nations there would
necessarily be international court for the set
Element Of international disputes but nations
would be left free 10 choose other tribunals"
But in that last clause Mr.. Carnegie denies his
own contention. For individuals are not cleft
free to choose other tribunals" If one man has
smother summoned TO court the other cannot
demur and say he prefers 10 go TO some other
tribunal He must obey the summons or be
forced 70 do so by material compulson. How.
then. Mr. Carnegie say. 81 fall to see any
difference here between nations and individ-
''usis." when. according to his own proposition.
nations are TO he free TO go into court or not as
they choose. while individuals have no such
privilege:
But there is a more serious point suggested IN
the words have quoted from Mr.. Carnegie's
letter. There would be an international court
for the settlement OF international disputes. -
Wonld that court have the same authority and
power over nations that existing courts have
over individuals-to summon under penalty Ia
arrest. and 10 execute sentence by physical
force: IL 80. II the tribunal at The Hague Is 10

sufficient to compel Great Britain or Germany
or the United States TO do something which n
does not wish to do, then all we have to say is
that, despite his desire for disarmament and
universal peace and his dislike Of Imperial
ISM" Mr.. Carnegie is proposing the creation OF
an armed Imperialism ito which," in Webster's
phrase. Rome in the height Of her glory is moi

must add that the implied suggestion that
motions are TO abnegste their own national SOW
