THE HAGUE COURT'S BLUNDER.
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.

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
