TREATY WITH JAPAN.

1t is necessary to blaze trail
through the forest before cutting out
the road. The arbitration treaty
negotiated between this country and
Japan only marks the way toward
real treaty for the preservation OF
peace between the two nations. Ii
is. nevertheless, forward step, as 1t
indicates the existence Of sentiments
between the two countries that are
compatible with peace. The treaty
really does not, however, set up
peace markets, it only indicates al
long stretches some of the lines IN
accordance with which the pursuit
of ueace bad been made. 1t provides
for the arbitration of questions OF
LEGAL nature, and those that seek IN
terpretation of existing treaties
But as this country has negotiated a
similar convention with great many
other countries, and these in turn
have effected such treaties with each
other, the nations have been grad
ually but surely brought up to the
line of the article of the late Hague
Conference that recommended them
to enact treaties of this nature.
The world is being knit so closely
together that it is becoming more
and more to be fact that the war
ring of two great powers brings Sc
we're hardships upon all others. 1t
would be easy to demonstrate that
in line with present progress the as
sumption of belligerency in the fu-
ture by any power will be equivalent
to challenge to the world. 1t will
be to the interest of the other pow
ers to quell the turbulent spirit.
But there will be more than one war
fought before that time. 1t will be
fortunate if the Pacific, with all the
latent provocations for strife, shall
not witness hostilities. But at the
end of the period of five years, for
which the treaty will run, it may be
Japan and the United States will
agree to stiffen the arbitration pact.
But the treaty enacted does not af-
feet the class of questions likely to
arise between the two Countries

Public protest against the high
prices prevailing for fresh meat, par
ticularly beef and mutton, is taking
a form in Chicago little to the liking
of the wholesale and retail dealers.
Not in many years has the public
generally objected 80 vigorously to
the extravagant values they are call
ed on to pay for meats. The result
has been a curtailmenJ Of the con-
sumption on scale not deemed pos
sible few months ago. Meat sales
men an over Chicago, as well as in
other large cities, assert that their
trade has fallen off so per cent. in
the last month. The same complaint
of poor demand is heard from ship
ers of live cattle and dressed beef in
New York and other eastern points.
The consuming public has taken the
only. course that will bring about
lower prices, the substitution of other
foods for the higher-priced meats.
A very effectual way of bringing the
beef trust to terms may be put in
operation by housekeepers if they
will continue for few weeks to come
to systematically curtail their meat
purchasers. This plan involves
slight sacrifice on the part of the
beef eaters, but it hits the trust in
vital place. The managers Of the
trust understand an argument ad-
dressed to their pockets,-Alexan-
dria Gazette.

The Year and the Calendar.

After Julius Caesar corrected the cal

IA seconds too long. amounting to
one day in IDS years. AS the centuries
passed the interval between the COM
mencement Of the year and the spring
equinox grew less. 1t was not. how
ever. until 1882 that anything was done
about it. Then Pope Gregory XIII. set
out to remedy the difficulty. This he
did by directing the suppression of ten
days outright. In order to provide for
the future he ordered that all century
years Q70O. 1900. etc.) which would
ordinarily be leap years should be COM
mon years unless they were multiples
Of 400. This arrangement which still
holds good, leaves only one day too
much In 3.400 years A FRENCH scien-
fist has proposed dropping an addi-
tional day in the year $500 and repeat
ing the process every 1920 years. This
would leave us short one day every
&c, 900 years, which may be considered
correct enough for all practical pur-
poses. At any rate. the matter is not
pressing. -New York Post.
