It can not be argued that the cause of internation al arbitration has made any material advance in popularity among the powers through the last decis ion of The Hague tribunal, says the Commercial. Its rerdict appears now to have been based on almost inexplicable misconception of Venezuela's position in the matter. The decision gave precedence to the three blockading nations-thereby practically endors ing the" collection of national debts by physical force or war-on the assumption that Venezuela had her self formally recognized the priority of these claims. United States Minister Bowen, acting as the accred ited representative- of Venezuela, made his formal statement of Venezuela's position at the very outset of th enegotiations nearly a year ago. Mr. Bowen proposes that all claims against Vene zuela be paid out of the customs receipts of the two ports of La Guayra and Puerto L'abelio, tne percent-1 age to be 30 per cent each month of the receipts. In ease of failure on the part of Venezuela to pay the said 30 per cent, the crediting nations will be author ized to put, with the consent and without any oppo- . sition on the part of Venezuela, Belgian customs offi cials in charge of the said two custom houses and to administer them until the entire foreign debt is paid. " . u i Exactly how The Hague court could interpret "all daims" as aDDlyine only to the claims of the three blockading "powers" is inconceivable. Equally so is that tribunal's notion that Venezuela, having pro tested against the hold-up of the three collector powers, should a little later on take the position that the blockaders thus secured priority lor tneir claims Mr. Bowen 's protest is not surprising in the cir cumstances. The business of arbitrating international disoutes is not likely to be particularly brisk with The Hague tribunal, if this Venezuela award is to be taken as a fair sample of its work. "THE PRESIDENT'S YACHT." Secretary Moody has done a public service in his exposure of the myth as to the "president's yacht otherwise the cruiser Mayflower. The yellow jour nals have been ringing the changes on the charge that the president has been keeping an expensive yacht at the public expense, owing to the fact that on public duty, the president has had occasion to use ' a state room on the Mayflower. All of the money which has been paid for repairs to the Mayflower has ben charged up to the president s account by the sensational journals, says the iost-lntelligencer. Now, Secretary Moody has given out the exact facts. The president has spent on the cruiser May flower exactly forty hours' time; and has traveled on board this vessel a total distance of ninety-seven miles. The president's family and invited guests have had quarters on board the Mayflower for the total time of one week, have traveled a distance of forty miles and have paid all of their own expenses during that period. During all of the time the May flower has been performing the regular duties of a eroiser in the United States navy, has not been di Terted one hour from any naval need, nor has a sin gle dollar of the public money been expended for the pleasure or convenience of the president, or any mem ber of his family or any of his guests in connection with the Mayflower, the so-called president's yacht The statement is full, complete and convincing. It is humiliating that it should be necessary. It would Bot have been necessary to have made any explana tion at all had it not been for the reckless slanders of irresponsible newspapers, which persist in manu facturing facts to suit their purposes. They knew better, but they did not believe that their readers did. Banking on the ignorance, credulity and pre judice of their readers, is the stronghold of yellow newspapers, without distinction as to locality. : A CASE FOR RESIGNATION. The sentence of Senator Burton, of Kansas, to a six months' term in jail and the payment of a fine of $2,500 is humiliating to the sense of national pride and honor every American mast feel, and his resignation' ought to be forwarded to the proper authority, whether the governor of Kansas or the rflsidinff officer of the senate. When a high-class mrv is compelled by the evidence to return a ver diet of guilty, and when the court, in passing on the motion for a new trial, congratulates the jury on its. independence and plainly and positively states its concurrence in the verdict, the end came, and the use fulness of Senator Burton was gone. There will be pity and sympathy for Senator Burton, and more for those who boar his name, but not even the reversal of the trial court ou errors of law, could rehabilitate him in the eyes of the public nor in the public esteem, nor couul it restore his usefulness. He still is a senator from the state of Kansas, entitled to all the prerogatives, emoluments and privileges of his high position. But should he ever attempt to resume the functions of a wnator it would not only be a public exhibition of his ta.ru sihment. but it would be a tarnishment of the dig nity of the senate of the United States. Pending the determination of his appeal he is at liberty, but neither his liberty nor a reversal can ever overcome the undisputed testimony on which he was convicted, nor the concurrence of the trial judge with the verdict. There" is not one American Nvhoj would not have rejoiced if the case on the part of the United States had broken down and the innocence of Senator Burton been made plain. But it was the case on the part of the defense that broke down, and his resignation ought to be promptly tendered. AN ANACONDA MARTYR. j The Inter Mountain has been favored with a cir cular letter under an Anaconda date, signed "Socia listic Candidate for Alderman." From it we quote: "Election day is drawing nigh. It is of more than ordinary importance. As a candidate for alderman I solicit your support, not so much for myself as the cause I have the honor to represent. Socialism for which I stand is consecrated to a holy cause. Human sacrifice lies behind it. It has been prosecuted and maligned. The Blue Card on the Hill, and beer at the old party caucauses are relied upon by those who would shape the political program of our city for their benefit, to acomplish its defeat. Amid all this persecution, conscious of the rectitude of its in tentions, it appeals to you for your assistance. Its object is the emancipation of the world's workers. Its cause is your cause. Its victory is your victory. Its defeat is your defeat. The old parties are mak ing a desperate effort to regain the graft, of which they were disposessed when the people placed Frinke in the mayor's chair. They offer no argument ex cept the brutal blue card, no inducement except free beer." The theme, the logic and the argument of this ap peal seem to warrant the belief that it is a produc tion of the gentlemanly bartender who is the social istic candidate for alderman in one of the wards of Anaconda rather than an output of the socialist lit erary bureau maintained in connection with the pub lie schools of that city, continues the Inter Mountain Who could so well appreciate the dire human sacri fice involved in a compulsory limited choice between a blue card and free beer? With a blue card it is utterly impossible to fight the industrial interests of the town at the expense' of the owners by getting on their payrolls. With free l)eer at the caucauses it is mighty plain there must be at least a tempar ary crimp in the business of soiling it to the oppressed voters at a bit a schnit. And besides this is the con fident socialist belief that the old parties want to re gain from the socialist party the official graft which the last named organization has acquired in part. Surely it is not extravagant for a polite and accom odating bartender to feel that he represents conse cration to a holy cause under such conditions. And if he should be defeated he would be a genuine martyr. ir C3XS The skin ought to be clear ; there is nothing strange in a beautiful face.

The payment for the transportation of mails is at practically the same rate as it was a score of years ago, while the cost of transporting other classes of matter has been reduced one third to one half. It is asserted by one of the scientists that the sun is gradually losing its heat. The temperature in Astoria the past two days does not seem to bear out this statement. Queer people, the Mormon apostles, who think a resolution in condemnation of contracting plural marriages will "forever silence" the critics of plural cohabitation. Illinois is among the states which admits women as lawyers. There are now 90 women lawyers in the state, most of them being located in Chicago. The second city in Missouri has gone republican and the ex-Confederate in the cob-pipe districts may yet admit the war is over. , 0 Chicago's vote to buy its cranky old streetcar service is explained by the fact that the city has no money to pay for it. o Colombia has little more than three hundred miles of railway and not a mile has been built in ten years.
