rfff ARBITRATION QUESTION.

If »ra may truat lb* nepreaenutkma that ars bstnc made to the President oy Jg/P', puMlo men, newspaper* aad prlrata dtiaana on the suggestion that ha act as arbitrator of the dispute between the powers and Venesuela, tt ia clear that the Instinct of the country ia agratnat the proooaitlen. As long as there la a chance that the parties to the controversy will asoapt The Hague tribunal aa arbitrator, Hr. Roosevelt ought not to consent to un- ‘ dertake the task himself. We think that | the Paris paper, the Tempe, has the cor-

| red view. It says:

These powers In preferring the President's arbitration to that of The Hague

wars gukled leae by the judicial

| qualities of the arbitrator than by the

fact that they want to see at the bottom of the verdict the signature of a man who representa a considerable number of Ironclads, torpedo boats and cannon. The Faria paper also points out that the powers era trying to get by Indirection the guaranty which this country refused to give them directly. It is right, too.

His il aoceptanca would be considered a sufficient guaranty that Venesuela would pay if she lost If President Castro evadoa payment under President Roosevelt's award the people of the United States, tt ta claimed here, would with positive pleasure see the allies compel him to pay up. So a guaranty Is wanted, and the question ta whether the President will give It. The assumption Is that our people would be more willing to see the allies force compliance with their President's finding than they would be to see them go to war to compel the carrying out of a verdict at the hands of the Hague court. The assumption Is, we believe, unfounded, but It nevertheless serves to show what ta In ths minds of the two European governments. On the whole, It la not surprising that there la a reluctance on the part of many people to see the President act aa arbitrator in this quarrel. One can not tell what the complications may be. There are millions of dollars owing to the citlxenn of European countries by the South American governments. Is there not danger that we may set a precedent

Great Britain. Germany and Italy were all parties to the conference that created the tribunal- The court is their court, created by them and the other signatory powers, and, therefore, their refusal or unwillingness, or reluctance to use It In this emergency. Is a somewhat serious reflection on It There Is a special provision that tha jurisdiction of the court may be extended to controversies between nonsignatory powers, or between signatory powers and non-signatory powers, if the parties agree to submit to Its Jurisdiction. This includes Venesuela, which Is a nonsignatory power. Here, then, we have a tribunal ready to hand, and one whose Justice and fairness there la no reason to doubt. And if there is to be arbitration at alL it certainly does seem as though the services of ths court created for the work of arbitration ought to be utilized. If tt can not be trusted in such a little matter as this ta. it ta hardly likely that it would be trusted to decide a serious quarrel between two of the great powers. Of course, we do not mean to suggest or imply that the President ta charged with the duty of saving The Hague tribunal from discredit. Our only purpose Is to insist on the obvious truth that what the powers want ta not merely arbitration, but some sort of guaranty from this Qovsrnment that ths decision will be carried into effect. Indeed, the English papers admit as much. And the Germans are

TRUST LEGISLATION.

And they have taken the second alternative Every movement to check or aUfle competition, every favor that is granted by the Government to trusts and monopolies, every refusal to pst on the same plane with the humblest citizen, ta simply another weapon In the hands of the socialists The Bun, voicing the Wall-street point of view* is quite sure that everything is me it should be. it only fool politicians would keep their Angers cut of the pie.

STATE INSTRUCTION FOR DEAF MUTES. The Evansville News says that opposition to the State deaf mute school did not originate In Evansville. Be It so, our contemporary preaches sound doctrine In holding that the place for deaf mutes Is at a State school; that no private instruction can supply all of the things needed to develop properly those that suffer this handicap In life. It well says that In our State school children are cared for every moment. Their academic work Is divided with manual training, no less thorough for the girls than the boys. In all lines the Instructors are specialists and every pupil has the Instruction that his talents show Is best for him. There Js care for the health of the children, as well as proper treatment for their peculiar afflictions, and so In all ways the best results are attainable In our State school. In which The News says the curriculum Is as complete as In any school in the country. It adds. If there be a deaf school In Evansville It should be a State Institution that will give our children the best that Is offered any other deaf child. Otherwise we are doing injustice to our unfortu-

nates.

As to the need of such a school any unprejudiced consideration will decide In the negative. It would be at the cost of two plants, neither of which could be as complete as a single one for the whole State. There are not so many of this class of persons In the State — a fact for which

the Indianapolis school needs an extension of our facilities; if so it can easily be made to accommodate all that may need its ministrations.

Senator Morgan’s plan for the colonization of negroes In the Philippines Is meeting with the favor It deserves — that 1* non* at all. The press opposes It, and even Senator Tillman characterizes it as chimerical. It Is more than that. Assuming that it were not chimerical; that It could be carried out, and that the 9,000,000 negroes In the South were deported to the Astatic Islands, what would become of the South? Who would hew Its wood and draw Its water? The negroes are the bone sdid sinew of the South. Their deportation thence would mean Industrial ruin to the South. Politically, the South ta not Indulgent to the negro.

“Margrama.” To the Editor of The News; Sir—Let me suggest that you aid In securing tho adoption of the word ‘‘Margram,” as expressing the Idea of a communication sent by means of wireless telegraphy. The three first letters are taken from the name of nun who has successfully developed this means of communication. The remaining four letters being from the Greek word "gramma,’’ | meaning that which 1* written. This new word, read either way. Is the same. This is suggestive of the Idea that a message sent by wireless telegraphy goes In opposite directions from the place whence the message is sent. It will be a fitting recognition by the people of the genius of Signor Marconi. JOHN L. BHRUM. Crawfordsvllle, Ind., December 22. Doesn’t Like Poor Seat*.
