LINERS SAFER WITHOUT GUNS.

There will be guns carried the decks
of British transatlantic liners and this decision by
the British is said to be due to friendly
desire not to raise troublesome questions of neutrality
for the United States, such up when the
German ambassador protested against the armament
of the Adriatc. 1t is also possible that England
wants to show her confidence that her warships are
a sufficient guard for her merchant vessels.
1t is doubtful if guns mounted passenger steam
ships are any real protection against foreign foe.
The smallest steel-cad vessel would make short
work of the biggest unarmored passenger liner and
her deck armament. The passengers ought to feel
great deal safer vessel that had temptation to

Good Work I'm San Domingo.
-. .lo Noxr V0rlx Evontn0 Post

From the New York Evening Post
IT is little more than a month ago
that the troubles in Santo Domingo
became so serious that a considerable
body of marines was dispatched to
Guantanamo. Now it is reassuring
to learn that, thanks in part to peace
commissioners sent by President Will
son. active interference is unneces-
sary. Dispatches state that pour
parlers are in progress between Presi-
dent Bordas and his Southern sup
porters and the northern adherents
of General Velasquez, and that both
factions realize the great havoc en-
tailed by the war. One reason for -
subsidencve is the pressure of econo-
mic need, the crops having been laid
waste Another is the European ccf-
fiict, the. reiterated protests of Ger
many, France and England having
heretofore maintained hopes on each
side for American intervention. AS in
Mexico, a provisional presidency is
expected to pave the way to general
election, and the fact that there are
representative Dominicans in each
party assures a responsible abiding of
the issue. IL the Presidents work
succeeds it will afford an interesting
comparison with the Rooseveltian
stroke which a decade ago made us
collector OF Dominican customs. 1t
isc to be hoped that Santo Domingo
may become a standing illustration of
the wisdom of the policy of letting
each Republic settle it's own affairs,
or at least merely helping it to help
itself.

A NOVELTY FOR THE GOLDEN STATE.

AS indirect and curious consequence of the
war in Europe California is getting on familiar terms
with the greenback relic of the 40 days has sur
yived among the Pacific coast jewellers in the habit
of using gold coin. Paper currency is much in
disfavor that in of the small communities a
stranger with other kind of money in his pocket
would find himself as badly off as a tourist in
Europe with only travellers checks.
With most Americans gold is temptation to
hoard. $40 gold piece somehow looks to be worth
a lot than a $40 banknote, and the owner
hates to let it go. But the tendency of many
to stow away gold especially in times, has spread
to California, and the banks trying to check it
by giving out paper. Old Californians wonder if this

Robinson, when he was a member of
Congress, representing the Springfield
(Mass.) district. Subsequently Mr..
Robinson was elected governor of
Massachusetts, beating General But
Ter in the campaign in which the lat
ter was a candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Robinson was speaking to me of
what he called the monumental work
of Henry Wilson, who was for twelve
years United States senator from
Massachusetts and who was elected
Vice President of the United States
on the ticket headed by General
Grant.
1.-THE work to which Mr.. Robinson
referred was Wilson's History of the
Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in
the United States That work, Mr..
Robinson said, would be recognized
as the standard historical authority.

The sign is favorable for dealings

That dogs are used by the Red Cross in the war

and succor them is fact that only goes to confirm
the good opinion of the species. The ferocity of
man does the wounding and the humanity of the dog
