A COURT OF NATIONS. A HIGH COURT OF LAST RESORT TO DETERMINE DISPUTES. How International Differences Might Be Adjusted If the Rulers Did Not Prefer Grim and Destructive War to Peace. ^ rblUatlon In Htg Affairs. There is a great deal of carelessness in certain popular demands for referring questions between nations to arbitration. We all know what arbitration is in busi ness. It is a very convenient way of ad justing certain questions which arise be tween two friends, each of whom wants to do what is right, but who take differ ent points of view of the same subject. Each of them “chooses a man," as the old New England phrase has it. These two “men” choose a third man. All parties meet together and talk over the matter, and the court thus made decides. But for practical purposes we do not compel every person who has a question arising with another person to create a court which is to try that question. If a policeman catches a pickpocket in the street, he does not appoint one person to try the pickpocket and ask the pickpocket to appoint another, while these two shall appoint a third. If Mr. Cheeryble in London is not satisfied with the account which Mr. Goodchild in Kansas City sends him, if Mr. Goodchild cannot make Mr. Cheeryble understand that account, they do not appoint a court which shall determine how much is due and how much is not due. There is a court ex isting to which that question can be re ferred and there are processes perfectly understood by which that court can de cide it. This is a fair enough illustration of the necessity which now exists that the great nations of the world shall have a perma nent tribunal, before which shall be brought the important questions which must arise in the affairs of nations with each other. It is to be a permanent tri bunal. There is not to be one tribunal about seals and another tribunal abov boundaries and another about extrad tiou. There is to b> a tribunal which shall gradually gain the confidence ol the whole world, and which shall decide these questions which have been left hitherto to a vague public opinion and to what is called the arbitration of war. Clearly we are approaching nearer and nearer the creation of such a tribunal. The greatest success was achieved when in 178# 13 different nations, here on the coast of the Atlantic, united to gather ande' ' iblished the supreme cour of the Unh-d States. The thing has worked so perfectly and simply ever since that v e have many readers to whom it has never occurred that there were might have been wars between Ma 1 chusetts and New York, or war between Missouri and Iowa, as bitter and severe as half the wars of the middle ages in Europe were. There might have been such wars if it had not been that the supreme court of the United State, has determined at least a hundred ques tions arising between different proud and independent states and has so deter mined them that each of the states has acquiesced in the decision. Nay, it ban so determined them that half the citizens of those states did not know that any such questions existed. Between my own state of Massachusetts and the state of Rhode Island there was a question about boundaries some 40 or 60 years ago which was more important than many of the questions which have thrown Euroi>ean states into war with each other. The su preme court of the United States deter mined the question, and I do not believe that half the people now living in Mas sachusetts who were living then ever knew that there was any such question at issue. The Six great powers of the world are the powers who should agree on such a high court of judicature, to exist as a permanent tribunal. It would be easv to arrange some system by which it judges should be appointed. Perhaps a good system would be such as is indi cated in the custom which hat been spoken of above. Each of the six nations might nanae one of these judges, and the six judges might nominate six other judges, to be approved by a majority of the high powers forming the court. At first the new court would have nothing to do. Everybody would be shy of it, but it would exist. It would con sist of men of the very highest rank who had distinguished themselves before the world by .their equity and wisdom. At first the court would meet simply for its own organization and to await the reference to it of questions arising between great nations. In tliis period of lei*ure these jurists might well be en gaged in digesting the international law of the world ae it exists now and pub lishing from time to time their digest. They might determine certain principles on which they would rely in the judg ments which should eventually be brought before them. Before long, how ever, some real question would be sub mitted to them. There would arise a question whether the San Carlos river was a dirty brook mnning from the northwest to the southeast, or another dirty brook running from the southwest to the northeast. As things stand now, two armies have to be called ont to fight about the proper definition of some old treaty, and a thousand good fellows have to be killed before we can determine which of two dirty brooks is the San Carlos.—Edward Everett Hale in New York Recorder. Liann. wmie among Ms papers is sam ro be a Greek tragedy, which may one day be sent out in book form. Mr. .T. W. Cronibie, member for Kincardineshire, is the author of "Some Poets of the Peo ple In Foreign Lands.” Two memliers of the house of lords have recently pub lished volumes of poems—namely, Lord Houghton, “Stray Verses,” and the bish- | op of Lincoln, “A Ladder of Heaven.”— ; London Tit-Bits. IDEAL NEWSPAPERS. SOMETHIIlTG ILTIEW BORNEO YACHT HAT, LIGHT WEIGHT FOR SUMMER WEA*R. THEY MET ON FIFTH AVENUE. Poets In the Iloase of Commons. Several members of the house of com mons have published volumes of poems— namely: William Abraham, member for Glamorganshire (Rhondda division), who is a Welsh bard, under the title of “Mahon;" William Allen, the member for Gateshead, who is an engineer and poet, and whose works include “A Book of Songs In English and Scottish;” Wil liam Johnston of Hallykilbeg, member of the southern division of Belfast, who is poet laureate of the institution of Orangemen in Ireland; Professor Jebbof Cambridge university,v who has pub lished translations into Greek and Latin verse, and T. D. Sullivan, member of the western division of Donegal, who has published a selection of songs. Sir George Otto Trevelyan published in 1869 a volume of poems entitled “The Ladies In Parliament,” and other pieces, and has also written many verses, dra matic and satirical, of which another of the best known is “The Dawk Bunga low.” Henry Smith Wright has published the first four books of the "Iliad” of Homer in English hexameter verse.

Pedestrians who were passing St. Pat rick's cathedral on Fifth avenue the other day at abont 8 o'clock in the after noon were treated to a curious sight. Coming up the avenue was a handsome woman of about 86. She was elegantly dressed and l)ore herself with a manner ami a carriage which were eminently aristocratic. She was walking slowly, as though ont for an afternoon airing, looking care'essly at the carriages which were passing along the avenue. Going down town on the same block and at the same time was a man of mid dle age. He, too, was dressed faultless ly. He wore a silk h.Yt and overcoat of the latest cut. His trousers were prop erly creased, and in his buttonhole was a small boutonniere of lilies of the val ley. In his hand he carried a neat cane, which he swung as he walked. He looked contented with the world and with him self and as though he had not a care but to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and the luxury of a leisurely stroll. As they ap proached each other, this lady and the gentleman, they arrived just opposite the main entrance to the cathedral. Suddenly they caught sight of each other, and an instantaneous changocame. The lady stopped short in her walk and exclaimed, “Theol" She dropped the small silk umbrella she had been cann ing, stretched forth her arms and sprang, rather than walked, straight into the arms of the man. He, while he did not exclaim, acted in a manner indicating more emotion than surprise. He dropped his caue and folded the woman to his breast with an ardor that showed more than gladness at the meeting The pair stopped for a moment in view of the peo ple, who wsreobserving them. He picked up his cane and her umbrella, and to gether they both disappeared around the corner into Fiftieth street. Who were they? Brgther and sister united after years of separation? Their joy at meeting seemed too warm for that. Lovers separated in their youth and met again after many years? Who can tell? It might have been. But they disappeared around the corner, and they carried their secret with them. Ami tlm still lingering pedestrians felt somehow that they had come into contact with something holy and walked again on their way with a glad feeling it was as diffi cult to define as it was to tell whence and why it came.—New York Press. Plano Organs From London. Piano organs are the latest form of musical torture that has been devised. The piano seems to have fallen into dis repute in Europe. In London it is un fashionable to play one of these instru ments, and in Berlin there is a law against playing one with the windows of the house in which it is located open. The piano makers of the old world have therefore been looking for a new field to exploit, and they hit upon the piano oi- gan London makes them and is sene iug hundreds of them all over the world They aru taking the placps of hand oi gans. In New York and eastern cities yon can now hear in the streets as many piano organs, as they are called, as you can hand organs. They are hot organs at all, but load toned upright pianos that, are mounted on wheels and can be trundled abont easily. They may be heard several blocks away. The hand piano is fast displacing the hand organ in popular favor, but hasn't the variety of music of the latter Hand organs are made in this country, and when any new tune comes ont it can soon be inse -ted in the org in’s reper tories, but tb > pianos hi .e to bo sent to London for any change oi repairing that is necessary. In this respict, ami in this only, the organs have the best of it.—St Louis Globe-Democrat. The Pluck of the Greyhound. The sire of Fullerton, when miming at Haydock park, struck a hurdle, under ncath which the hare had escaped, with such force as to fall back apparent); dead, yet ho afterward won the finr course. Princess Dagmar, another Wat erloo cup winner, in running her first course, saw the dog against which she was contending drop dead at her side. The hare also died just inside a covert into which it had escaped, yet tie grey hound managed to win two more courses —a fept which speaks more for the ecu' age of the animal than for the humani of her owner. The lightning speed at which the courses are rnn and the quick turns of the hare on rough ground make severe falls, and even broken limbs, not un common. Yet a dog so injured will of ten try to renew the chase, falling again yet making vain and painful efforts to avoid defeat.- The type of courage so exhibited, “individual” as distinguished from "corporate” courage, is perhaps shown in its most highly specialized form in the greyhound among dogs. The im pulse receives no aid from the associa tion of other animals of the same kind The dog which is slipped with the win ner is a rival, not a comrade.—Loudon Spectator. The God or tne Gypsies. The gypsies know nothing whatever of heaven or a future state of rest for the righteous dead, their vocabulary having no word that conforms with our words “paradise," “heaven,” “beautiful city,’’ etc. They know of a god which they call “devel" and of a devil called “bang." “Beng” has a home, or an abiding place, called “bengipe,” but their “devel," or god, "hath not where to lay his head," and is only recognized as a wandering spirit floating about in the upper regious of the air. They have a mortal terror of both “beng" and “devel," but this does not prevent them fromeursng both god and devil whenever anything goes wrong. They believe “beng" to be mnch su perior to the “devel," not only in point of physical proportions, but in his powers over the world and the human race, as well as in his greater intellectuality. “Devel" can be exorcised with pure cold water, but "beng" will take nothing short of brandy or wine. Edgar Wake- man and other experts in gypsy lore be lieve mat they were the original fire wor •hipers, and cite many facts to prove the correctness of their conclusions. —St Louis Republic. _ ^ ^a-. irr Wherein Lie* the Fault of Mo*t Intelli gent Criticism of the Modern Newspa per* ami Their Methods of Gathering and Presenting the News. * The Massachusetts Society For the Promotion of Good Citizenship has late ly been addressed by several distinguish ed gentlemen in a series of lectures upon the subject of journalism, ai d the re sult should be a clear nuderstanding of what is necessary to constitute the ideal newspaper. Unfortunately, however, these philosophers are at hopeless con traries. No two of them agree upot> any essential point. They have conflict ing views not only as to the casual fea tures of the case, bnt also us to the fundamental facts. What one consul era a drawback another declares to b< an advantage. Their methods of anal ysis and judgment differ as widely as if they were designed simply to bewilder the average mind. They are in harmony only upon the proposition that there is great room for improvement in the daily press. When it comes to telling how the Im provement should be made, they have their individual notions and are unable to make the same recommendation in n single respect. They would each have a newspaper suited to his special prefer ences and prejudices without regard to the tastes and wants of the rest of the world. It does not seem to occur to them that journalism appeals to a mis cellaneous audience, and that it must adapt itself to the demands of the many instead of the wishes of the few, or it will lose its occn;iation. They would have it cater to a select constituency, forget ting that if it had to depend upon a se lect constituency for support it would soon cease to exist. It is true of most criticism of the news papers that it is thus narrow and un reasonable. Any intelligent man can easily map ont a model journal from his point of view, but his point of view dues not include the whole field. At the most it only relates to the opinions and tend encles of a class, whereas a community is composed of many classes, all having different desires and interests. The ed itor who knows his business seeks to please the majority and not the minori ty. He knows that his paper must have more patrons than any one class can furnish if it is to thrive and keep pace with the progress of the age. It is not to be supposed that he regards his position as that of a man with a solemn mission for the dispensation of wisdom and virtue, whatever the pecuniary results may be. He cannot afford to take himself so seriously. His functions, as he understands them, are of a more practical nature, and experi ence teaches him that success lies in the direction of recognizing and gratifying a variety of tastes. In that way only can he secure the number of readers necessary to pay the large and constantly increasing expense of gathering the news from all parts of the globe and presenting all current in formation about the affairs of mankind It is quite likely that he often prints matter of a superficial and transient or der, but it has its value to those who want it, and that is its justification «o long as reasonable discriminati< n is used in selecting and apportioning it. Those who do not care for it are at liberty to skip it and read only what they like?’ which may be equally distasteful to others. There would be a great deal less of this talk about the ideal newspaper if the critics would stop to think that we are not yet living in an ideal world. Tin 1 press, like every other public institution is subject to existing conditions and in fluences and cannot dictate the terny of its own service and prosperity. It has come to its present state of usefulness and Importance through a process of gradual evolution. There has been a systematic improvement in its character and its proceedings. It grows more cred itable every year as its opportunities ex tend and its popularity increases. To say that it is not perfect is only to say that it shares the prevailing short comings of human nature and is gov- erned by the law of environment. It be gan by being a luxury, and it has be come a necessity. This could not have happened if it had not vindicated its right to such consideration. Things do not become indispensable nnliss they have definite and practical value. It is not possible to conceive how we could get along without newspapers. They oc cupy a larger place in the system of mod ern civilization than any other one agen cy of general convenience ami advan tage. The people appreciate them, notwith standing the efforts of certain carpers to disparage and discredit them. It is not true that their faults exceed their vir tues. They perform their appointed work with diligence, disci .-Hon and a due sense of responsibility. The worst that can be said of them is that they are not better than the world in which they are published. But they are unquestion ably twice as good as the world which makes them what they are, and when it reaches the ideal standard they will get there also.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Iron Industry of Maryland. The bog iron industry has lived and languished in the flat, sandy, far south ern counties o. the eastern shore of Mary land for perhaps a century, though there never was a time when it was especially profitable. Now and again, however, some native with money to spare is tempted by the tradition of iron in the swampy lowlands, and he undertakes the task of extracting It Where you find the name of “Furnace” on the map of the region you may expect to discover traces of this abortive industry.—New York Sun.
