The Truce at Washington.

A dispatch from Washington says
that the presidents reply to the res
olutions of the House on his secret
service message will be delayed I'M
til after the holidays and will be no.
tably mild in tone.
1t adds that the change of the
Presidential mood is due to the mod
Grafton of the Houses resolutions
Had there been censure of the pres
ident's course or a refusal to receive
that portion of his message, his an
swer would have been quite vigor-
Gus.
No doubt the dignity displayed by
the House partially accounts for the
ethereal mildness" that has de-
scended on the White House. But
may we not assume that other in
tluences have also been at work, and
that among them none has been
stronger than the presidents realiz-
alton of the fact that his attitude in
the present quarrel is hardly likely
to meet with public approval?
If the people respect the chief ex-
ecutive of the United States they
also have genuine respect for and
confidence in their congressman.
They know them much better than
they do the president, and they have
expressed their opinion of them by
sending them to the highest legisla-
tive body Of the nation.
They are, therefore, prone to re-
gard indiscriminate attacks on the
integrity of their representatives as
always unfortunate and generally
unfounded. The occasional derelic-
ton of one man of hundreds has hap
PLY not affected their trust in the
men of their selection.
1t is quite natural for a man at
Washington to fail to perceive this
by no means unimportant fact; to
imagine the house may be attacked
Unfortunately without causing a
feeling of public disapproval At
Washington the president is sort
Of sun, his cabinet members the plan
cts, and the senators fixed stars of
magnitude. A congressman, as a
congressman. is a comparatively un-
important character.
(. But Washington distinctions are
often misleading. The congressman
are closer to the people than the
president, senator's, or any other
class of national officials. They are
personally acquainted with many OF
their constituents. Their constitu-
ents know their reputation for truth
and veracity and for honest dealing
They are not likely to believe them
all, or any part of them dishonest
men on any mans ipse dixit.
We think that sufficient time has
elapsed since the secret service mes.
sage was for these facts to insinuate
themselves into the presidential con-
seriousness and influence his course
And we also count it exceedingly
fortunate that they have.-Intel

officers and members is kept pro-

that all Of the lemons" are sweet

order will spread over the entire
country and that ''crates" will be
organised in every city and town.

throughout the United Kingdom to-

deserted and business was entirely

A decree of nearly $4,000, 900
in the internal revenue receipts of
this government for the last fiscal
year is attributed by Commissioner
Capers to the prohibition movement,
to the high price Of grain, and to an
agreement among the distributors
to limit the output. The production
OF distilled spirits was 126,574,000
gallons, as compared with 16S,574,-
900 the year before. There was a
decrease in the production of de-
natured alcohol.

The naval force of Holland is
probably sufficient to make it I'M
possible for the government of Ven
ezuela to enforce its extremely dras-
tic customs regulations and trade
monopolies. If the Netherlands
lands government persists in it's
present course, it is probable that
practically all of the foreign trade
Of Venezuela will become of a snug"
Cling character, yielding no revenue.
According to dispatches from Car
acas, the abolition of trading mon
opolies is already demanded there.
Holland seems to have hit upon an
extremely ingenious method of re-
prisals for the offenses of Mr.. Cas-
tro. Without revenue, no govern
ment can go on, and the days Of en-
forced commercial isolation Of any
people by their government are gone
by. The probable outcome is the
creation in Venezuela of a govern
ment which will recognize that in
ternational relations are matters of
give and take, and not, as appears
to have been the notion of Mr.. Cas-
tro, of just do as it may please
ruler personally.

upheld the legislative act which "in-
IDENTITIES the owners of property for
damages occasioned by mobs and
riots" and this decision may prove
costly to the city of Springfield, the
scene Of the race riots of several
months ago. Following the riots,
damage suits aggregating 100000
were filed against the city by prop
erty owners who sustained loss
through the work of the mobs. The
supreme court decision will doubt
less be made much of by plaintiffs
in these cases as going to prove the
city's liability. Springfield's de-
bauch is likely to have a gloomy
morning after. Probably there
were few property owners in the
riots that resulted in lynchings, ar
son and bloodshed, but if damages
are proved against the city by the
residents whose properties were
wrecked, all the property owners
will be taxed their share of the
sum necessary to make good the
property losses.

The services of State Fire Marshal
Craft are frequently brought into
use to ferret out incendiary fires,
and the experience of the marshal at
Faulkton serves to show the good
purposes of his position. Ten days
ago an incendiary fire occurred at
that place. and there was no trace
of the guilty parties until Mr.. Craft
took up his investigation, which re-
suited in having John Small and Ben
Berrickman bound over to the cir
cult court on the charge of setting
fire to saloon building, which en-
dangered the lives Of six persons
who were sleeping on the second
floor. Barrickman tends bar In
the opposition saloon and with John
Small bored a hole in the side of
the building under the outside stair
way, into which they poured some
kerosene and then applied a.match.
The occupants on the second floor
were awakened Just in time to make
their escape from the structure be-
fore the outside stairway was in
flames. Mr.. Craft has been able to
run down quite a number Of these
incendiary fires.
