' WORKING FOR A WORLD'S PEACE. Assurances of continued peace with its neighbors in . the society of nations is an asset which should be covet ed by every country.' Certain learned historians have pointed out that every war in the world's history could have been averted Had a few level-headed men, repre senting the contending nations, met about a table and reached a compromise. Society has recognized the force of this argument as applied to individual cases only; it has abollished the code duello, but civ ilkation has not yet reached that point where armed strife between nations, like armed strife between in dividuals, is under the ban. But that stage of civilization may be not far dis tant. The establishment of the tribunal of The Hague was a long step in the direction of attaining the covet ed goal. Recently a conference was held at Washin?- 1 ton, presided over by Hon. John W. Foster, former secretary of state, that marks another step forward. Its purpose was to consider matters looking to the con clusion of an arbitration treaty with Great Britain similar in its general features to the treaty defeated, in the United States senate in 1897. Such men as Edward Everett Hale, Andrew Carnegie, President Wbodrow Wilson of Princeton, Hon. Frederick W. Seward, Governor Durbin of Indiana, President Jor dan of Stanford, and Edward Rosewater, the destin guished editor of the Omaha Bee, addressed the gath ering. The result of the conference was the adoption of a resolution advocating the treaty mentioned. The language of the document sets forth that it is 3-3 X 11 - i It'. 1 ' . reconuueuuea 10 me government to enaeavor to en ter into a treaty with Great Britain to submit to arbi tration by the permanent court at The Hague; or, in default of such submission by some tribunal specially constituted for the case, all differences which they .may fail to adjust by diplomatic negotiations;" also it is recommended that the two nations agree not to resort in any case to hostile measures until after this means of settlement by arbitration has been exhausted and further the resolution recommends that our gov ernment should enter into treaties to the same effect as soon as practicable with other powers. It is well and fitting that a proposition of this sort should come from the United States. If the treaties can be effected according to the suggestion, or even if only the one with Great Britain be effected, moreiwill have been accomplished toward bringing aboutJthe world's peace than could be secured in a whole volume of pronuneiamentos by a czar whose actions belie his soft words. the experience of two others to aid him in matters of the kind." , 1 ,,Thia anecdote strikes us as an excellent illustration Ojf the way in which some lawyers, who are officer of Ike court, and too often a court itself, strive to confirm the celebrated opinion which we cited at the boeinnunr of this article. It is not given to laymen to isenctrah' the deeper mysteries which are an open book to the prolession, bui neither technical learning nor stunen- duous general intelligence w necessary to a nercen tion of the fact that to this day the processes of Justice are clogged and its light is obscured beyond all reason by such means as proved effective with the old-time Jamaica magistrate who has gone to his reward. It is therefore a cause for rejoicing when a jtuW swoods .-.... .... .f sucn rubbisa out of his court room. : . THE DESTROYERS' GOOD WORK. The flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers, under con voy of the cruiser Buffalo, departed from the Canary islands for Gibraltar a few days since, and are wel upon the third stage of their journey toward the Phil ippmes. Up to this time the torpedo flotilla has nwmn exactly on schedule time and had a voyage absolutely without incident beyond the ordinary. ' When it was proposed to send these torpedo boat destroyers to the Philippine there was a number o alarmists who rushed into print with a claim that it was taking a mast desperate chance to send vessels with such relatively small tonnage upon such a very long voyage; and the navy department was censured for exposing the lives of officers and men to such unneces sary peril. All of this was rather ridiculous in view of the fact that torpedo boat destroyers, and, in fact very much smaller torpedo boats had been sent from Europe to Asiatic waters in large numbers, says the Post-Intelhgencer. No one who had any knowledge of the seaworthiness of these destroyers, which are vessels of some 420 tons displacement, had the slightest doubt of their fitness to make an ocean voyage; but in concession to unin formed public opinion the department detailed the cruiser Buffalo to convoy the flotilla, much to the dis gust of the officers, non of whom could we the neces sity of any such nursing. The vessels, which are designed to reinforce the As iatic fleet, and probably for permanent use in Asiatic waters, are the Decatur, Bainbridge, Barry, Chauncey and Dale. They are all new, having been launched within the past two years. All are of identical size and very similar power and speed. With the arma ments which they carry, which includes 3-inch guns they are fitted to do the work of ordinary gunboats, in case of necessity; while their extraordinSy speed renders them of value as dispatch boats for distances which they can cover with their normal sunnlv of coal They will be valuable additions to the Asiatic fleet; and it was sound policy to send them out there at this tune.

T"ll HIT! wnn n nnat 1 , P,,. 1. ! , .1 V ' 11 iuvjc rr.T a taw uciuic una auu jus colleagues relating to an illegal sale of lager beer, in which the plaintiff's counsel contended that the people must prove that the beverage sold to them had been "a fer mented and malt liquor." Thereupon the learned judge responded that to require testimony from per sonal knowledge or the production of an expert analy sis to establish that presumption would practically amount to a nullification of the law. He said it was a mattr of common knowledge that lager beer was a "ermented and malt liquor, and therefore judicial knowledge would be taken of the fact. Doubtless he had no thought of implying that all beer was just what it purported to be, but, so far as he was concerned, he was resolved that the law shauld not be made to appear ridiculous, and by way of making clear his point of view he told a little story. About half a century ago there was a justice of the ponce in Jamaica before whom an action was brought to recover a penalty for the sale of a quantity of whiskey under five gallons under the law then made and provided . It was proved that the defendant with out a license, had sold a glass of whiskey, but his coun sel moved for a dismissal of the case on the erromid that there was nothing in the evidence to show that the glass did not contain five gallons or more. "In that ease," said Judge Flemming, with a pleasant hu mor, "the motion was granted, but the venerable jus tice of the peace was acting alone and did not have PLUGGED $20 GOLD PIECES. Every time you get hold of a $20 gold piece thest days you should examine the edges very carefully and see if 16 small holes have been bored in it" "and filled up with brass or some other snch base metal, suggests the Tacoma Ledger. It won't take most people very long to do this with all the twenties they get, but bank clerks and some others who handle a good many of them every day are likely to be losers if not careful. The mutilated coins are worth $3.75 less than $20. It is curious that people will take the trouble to get $3.75 worth of gold dust in this way and run the risk that gocs with it. The labor of boring these sixteen and 'filling them as nicely as they are filled, and have to be filled, would doubtless earn $3.75 in almost any honest employment. No risk would be taken and no body would be wronged, but on ihe contrary every But the counterfeiter and coin mutilator seem to fancy that they are stealing only from the government, whic body, would be benefited, as he is by all honest effort is rich and can stand it, and to take a kind of satis faction in their work for that reason . But they do not take a cent from the governmnt. Uncle Sam redeems no counterfeit coins nor plugged coins. He spends as much money as may be necessary every year to catch counterfeiters and com mutilators of every sort. He seizes plugged coins and counterfeits of all sorts where ever found, and the people in whose hands they are found are the losers . The counterfeiter robs his neigh bor just as any other thief does. He takes about twice the risk that other thieves take, for the government on the watch" at all times and no counterfeiter, great or small, can long remain at liberty.

The neadquarters of these7 divisions are located respect ively at Tokio, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima, Kumamoto, and Sapporo. There is also the Imperial buard, with headquarters, of course, at Tokio: thev are to be distinguished from other soldiers by having a red instead of a yellow band around the cap and are a picked corps, who present a very fine appearance. l tie war looting of the Japanese army exceeds 500.000 men, and its peace footing is almost 200.000: these figures take account only of compatants.
