The Growth Of Arbitration.

one moro has been added to the
list of presidents making for the ex-
tension of the sphere of arbitration.
1t is the decision in the Orinoco case.
Although not of first Importance it
shows increasing confidence and de-
pendence in the arbitration court
The Orinoco claims case, in which
the court made an award last week,
was one in which it appeared that the
Orinoco Steamship Company, a New
Jersey corporation. had a grant from
the government of Venezuela of GER
tain exclusive privileges under an
agreement which was subsequently
repudiated by President Castro. The
company brought an action for dam
ages for a large amount, and the mat
ter was referred to DR.. Charles Barge,
who in 1904 awarded the company an
amount which it regarded as made
quate. The case was brought to the
attention of the United States govern
ment, which early last year secured
the consent OF the Venezuelan govern
ment to have the matter arbtrated at
The Hague The award gives the
Orinoco Company s46,S6-, with ; per
cent. interest since June 16. 1863. and
$1,000 costs.

The Land of Yesterday.

Would YOU seek the country town
Amid green meadows nestled down
If you could only find the way
Into the Land of Yesterday?
How YOU would thrust the miles aside,
Rush up the dear old lane, and then.
just where her roses laughed in pride,
Find her among the flowers again.
You'd slip in quietly and wait
Until She saw YOU by the gate,
And then read through II blur %
tears
Quick pardon for the selfish wears.
This time, this time. YOU would not wal
For that brief wire that said, Too
If YOU could only lind the way
Into the Land of Yesterday
You wonder if her roses yet
Lift up their heads and laugh with pride
And if her phlox and mignonette
Have heart to blossom by their Side.
You wonder if the dear old lane
Still Chrps with robins after rain,
And if the birds and banded bees
Still rob her early cherry trees
j
You wonder If YOU went back now
How everything would SEEM and how
But no, not now: there is no way
Back to the Land of Yesterday.

SAMPLE of Democratic Methods.

Democratic leaders have abandoned
the agricultural and rural vote and
are making a last play to the citizens
of the towns in the form of a pretend
ed comparison OF prices in 1896 ana
1910 The table which they give III
their leatiet is radically untrue and
unfair. The low price of necessarles
back in 1896 is set much below any vi
the figures the ordinary householder
recollects as having been given the
advantage in those days. while pres"
ent prices are grossly exaggerated
No one denies the fact that prices
have been greatly increased since 1896
when they were the lowest in the
past forty years and no one who knows
anything at all about it. and will be
fair and honest, will deny that after
two years of free trade the people Were
50 idle, 50 wageless. SO impoverished
and ruined that there was no SUBJ
stantial market for anything at any
price The Western farmer burned
in the field. for the price did not pay
him for harvesting and getting them
to market.
With the return OF Republican pro-
lection in 1883. and since that date
there has come d prosperity unparal-
leled in the history of nations. and all
farm products have risen in price.
The farmer has reaped the reward Tor
his labor and to it he is entitled. He
is enabled to buy the product Of the
manufacturing places because he has
the money with which to buy. THIS
brings good wages to thousands OF
laborers and they are in turn enabled
to buy the products of the farm. Be
tween the two everybody finds work
to do, the laborer is able to secure his
pay when his work is done. Many or
our factories are now running night
and day.
The argument is made by Demo-
cratic politicians that wages have not
kept pace with the increase of the
cost of living. This we doubt but.
granting that it is so, the volume Of
employment has so increased that t'-
wage total is much in the excess of
the living total. The amount of mon
ey paid out in wages today is four
times what it was in 1896.
Another comparison which all Re
publicans should consider before they
vote. if they are in any manner doubts
fui as to their course because Of the
high cost of living is the savings IN
1886 and in 1910. In the aforementioned
year the savings bank deposits
amounted to 81 49,, 1866. 1868. In 1910 they
amounted TO OO,O0o,000. The total
deposits in all the banks in 1896
amounted to $4,?4J, l24, i24. In 1910 the
total deposits in all the banks cx-
