The British idea of arbitration is to colze and hold what that country wants end submit to arbitration that which is not in dispute. If a law could be found which would stop the chatter of Corb?tt. Fitzslmmons and their coterie, the public would be quite reconciled to let them maul each other. The revival in Louisville which the papers of that city describe has no relation to the cause of the Democratic candidate for Governor, who went back on his platform. His seems to be a lost cause. Mayor Taggart's cabinet may ignore some features of the charter, but it cannot repeal a section of it. Another administration will use it, as did the last,, to give the', city a business management cf its affairs. As. a public speaker Mr. Cleveland means well, but he 'doesn't know how. He cannot say common things gracefully nor great' things at all. He labors like a locomotive that . runs in the air and makes no headway. . The declaration of Cassius M. Clay, jr., against his party candidate for Governor in Kentucky and against the State Democratic rinsr has called out so many assaults upon him that it Is evident that it is regarded by the Hardin leaders as very damaging. The, two disreputable bullies who have been quarreling at long range for several weeks past regarding the details of a proposed prize fight deserve the thanks of the public for having brought the "profession" of pugilism to its proper ievel of disgrace. The Injured ton of the St. James Gazette in complaining that "It is the usual thing for arbitrators of international disputes to find against England" is very funny. Of course, Kngland is always right, but why should arbitrators always insist on beinp wrong? Premier Salisbury may refuse to listen to the statement of the position of this government relative to the Venezuela affair, but his refusal will not settle the case. Discourtesy and snubbing chould be reserved for the representatives of feeble Central American governments. Senator Hill, of .ew York, has accepted an invitation to deliver a lecture in the regular students course at Ann Arbor, and announces his subject as "Old Landmarks." Does he intend to. present himself as an object lesson and landmark of a period when It was considered Inspiring- to exclaim, "I am a Democrat?" The Louisville Courier-Journal predicts that diplomacy will settle the complications between the United States and Great Britain regarding the Venezuelan affair. This is doubtless true; but the American people, while they are desirous of an adjustment which will sustain the long-standing American policy, are very hostile to tfiat sort of diplomacy which is the other name for surrender. . The city charter will never be thoroughly respected and strictly obeyed till somebody is punished for violating it. It gives the Council power to investigate charges preferred against any officer of the city government, from the Mayor down, and to impeach or remove such officer. Somebody, should file charges against the Mayor and his .boards for violating the charter in maklnj removals'and appointments. The certainty of the re-election of Mayor Pingree In Detroit caused the more prominent Democrats to refuse the nomination. Ex-Postmaster-general Dickinson attempted to force a Democrat against whom he had a grudge to take the nomination, but he not only refused, but put up a strong canvass for Dickinson himself. To prevent being nominated in spite of himself. Dickinson was forced to call In the federal officials. As the result, he was defeated in the convention by an avowed Socialist. ' If Senator Sherman's book does not accomplish anything; ele it will furnish new proof of the general untrustworthlness of what is called history His narrative of events of which he claimed to have personal knowledge has been shown to be erroneous In some important particulars, while the narratives of others who also claim to speak from personal knowledge are divergent and contradictory. "History." said Lord Chesterfield, "is only a confused heap of facts." In this case it is only a confused heap of political gossip. Some of Mayor Tarrgart's heads of departments are proceeding1 in open and flagrant disregard of the charter in making appointments before any regulations have been adopted for ascertaining the eompa ratlve fitness of applicants. Every c; : ointment made thus far has been for j.-::t'.cal rcons. though the charter dlsttr.rtly rays they rhII be made only r:r r, civiNrrrvlcs excrr.lr.rUicn and

"without regard to political opinions or services." Those who are making these appointments are violating the charter, and in winking at it the Mayor is violating his oath ot office. The appointment of a chief clerk in the engineer's office, of rodmen, chalnmen and inspectors, the appointment of a bookkeeper In the controller's office and others are ail in violation cf the charter. TIIK MONROC DOCTItIXE AXU (lit CAT IIHITAl.V,

The Monroe doctrine as set forth by President Monroe in one of his messages is a simple declaratlpn that " the United States should consider any attempt on the part of European powers to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere not already occupied by them as dangerous to our peace and prosperity." This theory did not originate with President Monroe, but was held by the leaders in both parties who helped to form the Republic. The declaration was practically a notice to the governments known as the Holy Alliance that they must not Interfere with the South American republics which had thrown off the yoke of those powers, and whose nationality the United States had recognized; that they must not undertake to subjugate them. It is a fact well known to the readers of the history of that period that the principle of the Monroe doctrine was declared with the full knowledge, the practical consent, and really upon the solicitation of the British Ministry at that period. Mr. Canning, representing the British Ministry at that time, urged President Monroe time and again to unite with Great Britain in making a joint declaration embodying the ideas of the Monroe doctrine for the puipose of putting an end to the schemes of the Holy Alliance to resubjugate the South American republics. President Madison consulted Jefferson and other leaders, and the result was that Groat Britain's co-operation was refused, but Mr. Canning was just as well pleased when the American government gave notice to the Holy Alliance that the Republic would stand by the weaker republics which had won Independence. Mr. Canning was so delighted over the attitude taken by President Monroe that he claimed it as his greatest triumph. ' Thus on record In favor of the Monroe doctrine, it is scarcely consistent for a British Ministry to disavow it after a silence of seventy years. In all of these years the American government has held to the Monroe doctrine and also to the other portion of it, namely, that the United States will not enter into any alliances with European nations 'affecting policies beyond the American continent, except when called by them to act as arbitrators. There have been occaskns during the past seventy years when it would have been to the advantage of the United States to have Joined alliances affecting interests in other quarters of the world, but to that part of the unwritten law of the Republic its government and its people have stood in good faith. Such being the case, if, as has been asserted. Lord Salisbury has been sounding the European powers with a view of an alliance on their part to declare against the American or Monroe doctrine, there 13 every reason to believe that he will fail. There is no reason why France should take sides with Great Britain In this matter against us; on the contrary, there is every reason why she should not. Germany, Great Britain's rival in foreign commerce, can have no interest in an alliance which will sustain that government In seizing South American territory and making it an exclusively British market. As for Russia, a rival in the land-grabbing policy, she is not and never has been making alliances solely in the interest of a government which has always been hostile. Spain Great Britain can get because of Cuba, and because Spain, a waning power, beholds her decadence in the progress of the United States. With all their jingoism and bluster, British ministries are very conservative when the situation may involve that nation In war. No nation could suffer more by a war with an equal or a greater power, because Its trade is in every quarter and Its ships are on every sea. Only a lunatic would set fire to the stubble of a field covered with his own stacks of wheat. THIS DIVORCE EVIL IX IS DIANA AMI ILLINOIS. The Chicago Tribune, in a philanthropic fit of Interstate reform, presents statistics which have evidently been obtained from the court records of various counties in this State to show, the extent of the divorce evil. The Tribune ought to have begun its reform crusade nearer home. The divorce law of Indiana is better than that of Illinois, and Chicago has almost a 'world-wide notoriety for the number of its divorce suita and the ease with which decrees are obtained. Having' presented statistics from several counties in this State to prove the growth of the divorce evil, the Tribune would render a public service if It would now present similar statistics from a corresponding number of counties in Illinois, and especially from Cook county. In which Chicago is located. Reform, like charity, should begin at home-. ' The Journal is not sorry to have attention called to the extent and increase of the divorce evil in this State. It has called attention to the subject itself more than once and urged the necessity for reform cither in the law or its administration, though a better reform would be one that should reach and elevate the standard of social purity, the obligation of marriage vows and the binding nature of the marriage relation. There was a time when -Indiana was open to the charge of having a very loose divorce law and practice, but the present law in this State is as good as that of most of the States, and better than many. Under the old law "Incompatibility of temper" was a statutory ground for divorce, and only a very brief residence was required. The Incompatibility of temper cause has been repealed, and the present law requires a previous 'residence on the part of the plaintiff of two years in the State and six months in the county. The law in this State also makes it a penal offense for any person to advertise or issue circulars relative to the procuring of divorces, , a practice which prevails to a scandalous extent In some States. The practice Is not prohibited in Illinois, and hta prevailed to some extent in Chicago. The Illinois law requires a previous resict cnly cr.2 ye?r, 3 cilnst two

in this State. The law in this State says that "whenever a petition for divorce remains undefended it shall be the duty of the prosecuting attorney to appear and resist such petition." Illinois has no such provision. In short, the present divorce law of this State is decidedly better than that of Illinois, and no doubt the court records will show that the divorce evil is greater' In Illinois than' it is in this State. It is much too great in both States, and calls either for more stringent legislation, a high?r standard of construction by the courts or a new education in public moral?. . THE FACTS. AIIOLT WOOL.

That class of edito-s who do not give average people the credit of having good sense are now making considerable noise about the advance in the price of wools during the , past year. " Some of them imagine that the people "who read their papers are such imbeciles that they will not see the absurdity of the comparison they make of the prices of wool during the season of 1S94, Just before the repeal of the McKlnley law, and at the present time. They say: "WoolIs higher now than it was in June, 1894; when the McKlnley law was In force, therefore free wool is better for the farmer than protected wool." Now, those who mako this statement presume upon the ignorance of their readers by assuming that they do not know that the Democratic House had already passed a law putting wool upon the free list, and that there was, in Juno and July, 1S94, no doubt that the Senate would take the same action, the only question being as to tho time of the passage of tuch a measure. Manufacturers knew that it would be done before the wool clip on the market in June and July, 1834, would be put upon the market as goods, consequently they would not pay more than the foreign prices for wools during the season of 1834. The fair comparison of the prices of Amei lean wools t under protection with those they command now should be made at a time when there was every reason to believe that protection would be continued and when the goods made of protected wools could be scld before any change could be made In the tariff. Such a date was Oct. 1, 1891. The price of XX Ohio washed was 12 cents a pound higher at that date than it was Oct. 1, 1895; Ohio medium was 15 cents lower at the later date than at the former, and Ohio coarse 11 cents lower. Oct. 1, 1891, the price of Ohio fine unwashed was 8,& cents higher than four years later; of fine unwashed Indiana and Missouri, 8 cents higher, and of Indiana medium unwashed it was 12 cents lower. The difference is more marked when it comes to scoured wools, the price of XX Ohio being 2513 cents higher in 1SDI than now, and of Oregon and Colorado 27H cents higher. It was only four years ago that there much' higher, prices prevailed. They prevailed because of the duty imposed by the McKinley law. Some people may not be aware of the fall in wools since 1891 under protection and when free trade in wool was determined on, but the many thousands of men who have flocks of sheep have memories at least four years in length, during which period the value of their-wools has fallen off. one-third. A local Judge in Scott county, Kansas,' has issued a restraining order prohibit-j Ing the county treasurer from paying any more Interest on the county refunding bonds issued in 1892. This jneans that payment of the bonds themselves is to be repudiated. Scott is one of a number of counties in western Kansas which, a few years ago, attempted to boom themselves into wealth and prosperity by issuing bonds and turning, them into cash. It was a lively dance while it lasted, and now they refuse to pay the fiddler. As the Mayor says, a man does not need a college education to work on the streets; nevertheless,-a registration of applicants may be useful, as. If properly made, it would require all who are registered for service to be able-bodied men, the heads of families and residents of the city. The trouble with the street cleaning of Tammany in New York was that the force was made up very largely of men unable to do a full day's work. They were put on the pay rolls by bosses who received a percentage of their wages. The Trimble In IecntottI-ii. Pecatonica is stirred to its center, and its people are excited as they never were before. Pecatonica. is not in Venezuela, nor in the disputed territory, nor yet in Carea, Japun or Central Africa, and the excitement of Its people has no connection with any International dispute. Tecatonlca Is a post town in Wlnnebaso county, Illinois, and its people are in a high state of indignation over an attempt to enforce an odious sumptuary law. . Such laws are particularly odious to liberty-loving people, and in the present case the Pccatonlcans are lighting the cause of U the people. The trouble has its origin in onions. WeH-laformed readers of the Journal know that while this vegetable ' possesses valuable food and hygienic qualities its odor is exceedingly repulsive to some persons. A well-known citizen of Indianapolis who once sat in Congress and made an unsuccessful race for Governor, once remarked that "a man who does not like the smell of a hog is a lectio too nice to live." Yet some people are built that way, and others are so constituted that they cannot abide, the smell of an onion. One of these is theteacher of the public school at Pecatonica, Her dislike for the fmell of onions is as etrong as the odor itaelf, and although' hostility to the plant is not a regular part, of the course of instruction in the Pecatonica school, she had taken pains to make the pupils understand that she held it in particular detestation. Therefore, when, a few days ago, one of the pupils, a son of the editor of 'the recatonlca News, came to school with a strong smell of onions on his breath, the teacher took it as a personal affront. The practice of personal chastisement 'still survives in Pecatonica, and as, at common law, a teacher stands in loco parentis, the teacher proceeded to whip the offending and offensive boy. Being Impelled by a ense of personal injury, she whipped him hard. No doubt this was InjuJicious ami short-sighted on her part. If Khe had, approached within a reasonAble distance of the lad, perhaps protecting her face with her handkerchief, and in a kind way asked him if he would not llks to take a holiday, he would doubtless have accepted the proposition with alacrity. But persons acting under the impulse of personal resentment do not always act wisely. In this case the entire school sided with the boy. Perhaps they would have done so Just, the same If the whipping had been for any other cause, but as It was for eating onions they regarded It as an assault on their personal rights; for in Pecatonica a lircs majority of the people. Including the

children, eat onions occasionally, and the right to eat them when ore desires is regarded as a very sacred one. So the children espoused the boy's cause, and the next day and for several following days they all ate onion before coming to school. This made life very burdensome to the teacher, but as she could not spend her entire time whipping the pupils, even if there had been reason to believe it would have done any good, she had no recourse but to endure. Outside of the school her lot was no mors happy, for the parents of Pecatonica took up the sacred cause of liberty, and, with one accord, began to eat onions, fo that whichever way the teacher turned she encountered the. to her,, hateful odor. In addition to this she was forced to hear many violent remarks from the adult Pecatonicans relative to the outrage of trying to dictate to people what they should eat. The more they thought about it the more angry they became and the more onions they ate. It is characteristic of the Pecatonicans. when a principle is involved, never to give up, and in this case they will doubtless triumph. The teacher will have to learn to endure the smell of onions or seek employment elsewhere.. In sumptuary matters Pecatonicans will, not be dictated to.

CROWD AT ATLANTA

L.UIGE ATTEXDAXCB AT THE COTTOX STATES EXPOSITION. President nnl Sleraners of His Cabinet Visited the Show, He viewed the Military nnd Inspected Exhibits. SPEECH BY MB.! CLEVELAND UEOKUIA.XS WARNED TO IlEVVAItE SELFISH POLITICAL DOCTRINES. Lrited to Cultivate n Spirit of llrond American nrotherhood The l aual Wearisome Handshaking;. ATLAN'A, Oct 23. his was the banner day of the Cotton States and International Exposition. . It was Presidential day, and tho chief executive and six members of his Cabinet were here. 1S0 were fifty or sixty thousand other visitors. No brighter or balmier sun ever shone over this particular portion of the Southland than that which dawned on it this morning. Thousands of visitors early swelled the throngs on the streets to Immense proportions and locomotion soon became a difficult matter. In accordance with the carefully laid plans of the exposition management, the exercises of the day were all concentrated within the exposition grounds. Into which the crowds of visitors and a large proportion of tho population of the city emptied themselves during tho morning. The presidential party spent the morning quietly at the Aragon, where they remained until 11 o'clock, when they were driven rapidly to the exposition grounds, without any parade whatever. Inside the gates tho; military was already gathered. Captain J. F. Burke, of the Gate City Guards, acted as marshal. He had In line the Fifth Regiment of tho United States Regular?, commanded by Colonel W. L. Kellogg; the Fourth Virginia Regiment, commanded by Colonel C. A. Nash; the Virginia Military Institute cadets, commanded by Colonel D. Price; the fifth company of the Governor's Foot Guard, of Connecticut,, commanded by Major E. Henry Hyde; the second company of the Governor's Foot Guard, of Connecticut, commanded by Major B. E. Brown; Grimes's Battery, of Richmond, and the Ashcvllle , Light Infantry. The troops paraded around the board walk within the fair inclosurc and were reviewed by ' the President . from a stand In front, of the Government- Building. MR. COLLLIEIt'9 ADDRESS. After tho review the President delivered an address. He was. Introduced by President Collier, of the, exposition, who referred to him as the -man who had been intrusted with the duty of wiping out sectional lines and issues. -Mr. Collier said: "To an assembly composed of American citizens an introduction of the most illustrious of living Americans Is impossible, save as a mark of courtesy and an expression of the regard in which he Is held by his fellowKountrymen. Still, it may be possible on this occasion "to-signify in some degree our profound gratification at the presence of the chief executive of the Nation. The demonstrations he has already witnessed prove better than could any mere words the sincerity and the warmth of his welcome. He, of all men in this country, should be best able to recognize the voice of the people, for unto him it has been shown in more emphatic terms than to any man of our gen-, eration. But we must convey to him an assurance of the admiration and esteem of tho people of the (Southern States and especially of Atlanta. The South has received from him a recognition as a constituent element of this Union, to which it had for many years been a stranger, when he was chosen and commissioned to erase the dark line of sectionalism from the map of the Union. The administration of which he is the head not, only gave Its aid and indorsement to the dearest enterprise this city has projected, but has established here, for the inspection of the world, the most comprehensive and instructive display of our federal resources that ever ennobled any exposition. No intelligent citizen can visit this display without experiencing a quickening of his "patriotism, as well as an extension of his general knowledge. We rejoice alia to-day In the reflection that no other nation. In the years that have passed since the foundation of this government, has had In its highest place such an unbroken array of men who. for devotion to their country, for faithful performance of duty, and for those virtues which adorn the citizen as well as the executive have been worthy of comparison, from Washington to Cleveland." PRESIDENT 1 CLEVELAND'S! SPEECH. President Cleveland's appearance at the front of the stand was the signal for an outburst of applause from the multitude. The President saidi' "Mr. President On mv own behalf and for my colaborers In the executive branch of our government who have accompanied me, I thank you for your kind words of greeting. We are here to congratulate you and your associates on the splendid success .of the exposition you have set on foot and cn the evidences you have gathered, chiefly illustrative of Southern enterprise. Southern Industry and Southern recuperation. But we are also here to claim a share In the pride of your achievement. No portion of our countrymen, wherever found, can exclusively appropriate the glory arising from these surroundings. They are proofs of American genius and industry, which are the Joint possession of all our people, and they represent triumphs of American skill and Ingenuity in which all our citizens, from the highest to the humblest, have a proprietary right. "While my fellow-citizens of Georgia and !?r neighboring States may felicitate themselves to the fullest extent on such evidences as are here found of the growth and prosperity of interests and enterprises in which they are especially concerned, I cannot be deprived of the enjoyment afforded by the reflection that the work they have done emphasizes in sight of the world the immense resources and Indomitable thrift of the people of the United States. "It seems to me the thought may be suggested, as not inappropriate to this occasion, that what we see about us is an outgrowth of another exposition inaugurated on American soil more than a century ago, when a new Nation was exhibited to the civilized world, guaranteed and protected by a Constitution which was ordained and established by the people of the United States, with the declared purpose of promoting their general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity. The success which has attended this exposition of-producers and manufacturers is not altogether due to the quality of the soil or character of the people in any of the contributing- States, but it rests largely on the fact that these States are members of a beneficentlv governed Nation, whose natural resources and advantages have been developed and Improved by the Influence of frea institutions and whose people have been stimulated and encouraged by the blessings of personal liberty. "A contemplation of the benefits vouchsafed to us by our government easily reminds us of tho Importance of a hearty and united co-operation in their support and protection. We should lovingly watch and guard It. not only because we are recipients of Its precious gifts, but for its own sake and because it has been put in our hands In sacred keeping, to prove to the world that man can be trusted with Self-government. "We shall walk In the path of a patriotic duty if, remembering that our free institutions were established to promote the general welfare, we strive for those things which benefit all our people, and each us Is content to receive from a common fund his share of the prosperity thus contributed. We shall miss our duty and forfeit our heritage if. in narrow felfishness. we are heedless of the general welfare and struggle to wrest from the government private advantages which can only be gained at the expense of our fellow-countrymen. "I hope I may, therefore, be permitted. In conclusion, to suggest, as a most important lesson taught by this occasion, tho absolute necessity to our national health and welfare, and consequently to our Individual happiness as citizens, of a careful discrimination, in our support of policies and in our advocacy of political doctrines between those which prompt the promotion of the public welfare and those which simply seem to serve selfish cr ectlonal In-, terests. If ws ere to enj;y tis blerdnr

our government was framed to fairly and justly bestow, we shall secure them in due time by cultivating a spirit of broad American broiherhooi and Insisting on such conduct as will, within the spirit of the golden rule, promote the general welfare." SHOOK HANDS FOR HALF AN HOUR. At the oqncluslon of his speech the President was greeted by an ovation which lasted for several minutes. Hats were thrown into the air and boundless enthusiasm was manifested. His speech, though short, consumed considerable time in delivery because of the frequent interruptions by applause. At its conclusion, Mr. Cleveland, held an informal reception. A line was formed along the front of the stand and a squad ot policemen kept it open. President Cleveland took a position on one of the meps and began shaking hands with ull the people who pressed up to him.

That Catholic women and Hebrew women should be Invited to send fraternal delegates from their annual conventions to ours and to establish branches of the white ribbon society within their own borders." ,One of the delegates suggested that It might not be quite consistent for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to ask Hebrews to- affiliate. This aroused Miss Wlllard. 6he said: "I want to recognize these , two. denominations, because in places where I - have been, especially In the South, they exhibited sympathy in our work and have extended every courtesy. It has especially touched my heart that In meetings where I have presented the work of this organization, among those who have welcomed me to the platform have been the Catholic priest and the Hebrew rabbi. They knew what I came for, they knew what I represented, and If they were broad enough to go half way and ' extend the hand of greeting- should my hand be so small and withered as not to accept the clasp? I want to welcome them if they want to come." The resolution, was adopted. The principal business of the morning was the consideration of additional resolutions.

The present report contains comparative statements, showing the quarterly production of tin and tin plates dariv.g each of tho four fiscal years Ine the tabllshment of the Industry, and the Icr centages of such plates produced each quarter from sheets rolled in the United States and from foreign ma ie sheets. The facts presented show a marked lacrease in the number of mills for rolling steel sheets, or "blavk plates," which form the body of commercial (In and terne plates, terno plates being plates which are toaleJ with a mlxtuje of tin and lead, and are used generally for roofing purposes. The largely increased consumption of steel sheets from American rolling mills Indicates not only the accelerated growth of this branch of tho Industry, but an actual preference fur American rolled sheets, both for coating and for the uses to which the ilnlshed plate are applied. The report states that: "Daring tho fiscal year ended June SO, 195, the production In the United States of commercial tin and terne plates' was ll?,S01.07i pounds, against 189,3.'S7 pounds produced during the previous fiscal year, showing thereby an increased production of C9 icr cent.
