As between nations we are in favor of arbitration

always where there is no moral principle at stake which cannot be arbitrated, and for this reason we heartily wel come the action of the French Chamber of Deputies, which has voted unanimously in favor of a treaty with the United States which shall provide for the settlement by arbitration of all international disputes. This is not a matter for legislation, as we understand it, which requires the approval of the French Senate ; and we presume that President Cleveland will present to Congress next winter a communication from the French Government making the proposition, which we trust will occasion to a formal

treaty on the subject. Just as in the case of improved divorce legislation, which must be accomplished severally but by mutual agreement of our States, so between indi vidual nations war must come to an end by individual in dorsement of the principle of arbitration. The United States has a good record in this respect. We are known to be a nation able but not willing to make war, whose ambitions are peaceful, and which desires to take no terri

tory.that does not come to us by the free will of its inhab itants, and quite too unwilling to do it then. An arbi tration treaty with France would be a lesson to the world.

the religious herald.

That peaceful arbitration of international disputes will eventually become universal is as certain to thousands, aye millions, of the world's best citizens as that the dark ness of to-night will be succeeded by the light of to-mor row. This great army of war-abhorring Christians greet every jtep towards universal arbitration with prayerful joy, although they are not allowed to forget that the jour ney will require many steps before the goal is reached. One of these reminders comes from officials connected with the State Department and relates to the resolution recently adopted by the French Chamber of Deputies, in favor of the negotiation of an Arbitration Treaty between the United States and France. These officials say it will be difficult, if not impossible, to negotiate such a treaty because of the seeming impossibility of reconciling the claims of the United States under the Monroe Doctrine with the views which have been expressed by the French government. Surely?pardon the bull?if that is the only objection to entering into a treaty of arbitration with

France, it is no objection at all. There is no occasion to reconcile any different opinion or views of the two govern ments. They have only to bind themselves to submit all disputes which arise either from existing difference in opinion or views of those hereafter acquired to peaceful arbitration ; the arbitrators jointly chosen will do the rest. Inasmuch as President Cleveland is a strong advocate of international arbitration, as all of our Presidents have been for some years past, it is not probable that the op portunity to negotiate an arbitration treaty with France will be lost through any fault of our government.

W. P. Rend returned to Chicago yesterday from the

mining regions of Pennsylvania, no longer to be saluted as a private citizen, but to be greeted as he was by men who talk of millions as small boys talk of marbles and by men with crusted palms as Arbitrator Rend, of the board constituted under the recently passed arbitration bill.

Mr. Read left the field of peaceful private citizenship in other days and earned in no holiday fashion on another kind of a field the title of colonel. It means no small sacrifice for the soldier-citizen to accept the duties of arbitrator in view of the vast interests over which he ex ercises personal supervision, but he is one who feels that there are imperious inspirations of duty, in days of peace as well as in the days of national danger. Because of what is here suggested Mr. Rend had the happy experi ence yesterday of receiving assurances of gratitude and

co-operation from men on both sides of the big question on which the exercise of his talents as a business man and his tact as a peacemaker is expected to impress a beneficent influence.

Mr. Rend left Chicago the pronounced and acknowl

edged friend of the wage-earners ; he returns an avowed advocate of new measures and plans for their betterment and elevation ; measures and plans not new in themselves, but given a freshness by the promise of their immediate

application and enforcement. The three chief of these, as applying particularly to the mineworkers, are :

1. Arbitration. 2. Abolition of the truck store system. 3. Establishment of reading rooms and temperance societies.

Referring to these yesterday, Mr. Rend insisted that their observance was essential to the uplifting of the min

there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby de

stroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the

everybody wants one, especially when it can be got so cheap. You can wash and dry the dishes in two minutes. I believe that in two years from now every family will have one. You can get full particulars and hundreds of testimonials by addressing the Iron City Dish Washer Co., 145 S.

214 THE ADVOCATE OF PEACE. September,

A GREAT CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY. I want to tell you of my wonderful success. Being a poor girl

and needing money badly, I tried the Dish Washer business and have cleared over $200 every month. It is more money than I ever had before and I can't help telling you about it, for I believe any person can do as well as I have if they will only try. Dish

Washers sell on sight ; every lady wants one. The Mound City Dish Washer Co., St. Louis, Mo., will give you all necessary instructions, so you can begin work at once. The Dish Washer does splendid work ; you can wash and dry the dishes in two or three minutes without putting your hands in the water at all.

Try this business and let us hear how you succeed. ELIZABETH C.

ing element and as supremely calculated to advance the interests of labor men and of the general community. Mr. Eend will deal elaborately with the entire subject

on Labor Day in this city, when he is to speak at the la bor demonstration, for which plans are being perfected.

Without going into detail, Mr. Rend said yesterday that, as far as the plan of arbitration is concerned, he regards recourse to it in extreme cases, and before a crisis be comes too keen, as not only based on human and civilized ideas, but on common sense for both sides.

" There should be a cool, calm, business-like scrutiny of the facts and conditions of the crisis by men so constitu ted as to act calmly, coolly and sensibly," said Mr. Rend, " before having recourse to measures which serve good to no one and leave as a legacy sores hard to heal. My best testimony to the value and virtue of arbitration can be found in my acceptance of the position which I was very slow to accept. Having accepted it, I am determined to fill it to the best of my ability and the extent of my op portunities."

THE ADVANCE.

Of great significance is the recent action of the French Chamber of Deputies asking that the Government as soon as possible negotiate a treaty of arbitration between France and the United States. This is but one of the many indications that the thought of the world is steadily approaching the assured conviction that disputes between nations must be settled by the peaceful deliberations and decisions of an International Judiciary rather than by the

savage arbitrament of war. In the line of this thought also was the action of the Pan-American Congress, con

cerning which Mr. Blaine said, " We hold up this new

Magna Charta, which abolishes war and substitutes arbi tration between the American republics, as the first and great fruit of the International American Conference."

The aroused sense of the masses of European people may be counted on to further this peaceful movement, for they are beginning to comprehend the enormous burdens they are carrying in order to keep the continental nations on a war footing. One of the most humiliating announcements ever sent across the waters was that which came lately from Germany, to the effect that the common people could no longer eat beef, their poor condition compelling them to subsist on vegetables, cereals, and horse flesh. A nation of horse flesh eaters will not long have pride in the support of a mighty standing army, the cost of which reduces them to their mean condition. A blood-and-iron

man and a fantastic war Emperor ought not to be fit for the rational and enlightened spirit and life which we look for in the coming century. We hail the suggestion of a

treaty of arbitration between the world's two greatest re

publics.

EVENTS OF THE MONTH.

Justice Howell E. Jackson of the United States Supreme Court died at West Meade, Tenn., on the 8th of August at the age of 63.

A terrible storm visited Japan on the 24th and 25th of July, which caused great loss of life and property. More than a thousand people were killed or drowned. The island has also been suffering from a severe cholera plague which has carried off thousands of the inhabitants.

Mr. Ransom has been declared by the solicitor-general of the United States to be unlawfully holding the office of Minister to Mexico, because he was a senator at the time of his confirmation. It is expected that President Cleve land will reappoint him.

Baron Christian Bernhard von Tauchnitz, the celebrated publisher of Greek and Latin classics, died at Leipsig, Aug. 14, aged 79 years.

The rebellion which has given so much trouble in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, is now thought to be practically ended.

The American Board has sent out a committee of four to visit Japan. Some of the Japanese Christians think that the Church in that country is now quite able to take care of itself without the supervision of the missionaries. This and certain doctrinal differences between some of the nations and the missionaries have led to the sending out of the committee.

The drain on the gold reserve in the treasury has again recently become so heavy that the bond-syndicate have been compelled to come to the rescue and replace several millions by furnishing gold for treasury notes.

The new British Parliament assembled on the 12th of August. It contained 668 members, of whom 478 were members of the previous Parliament. One hundred and nineteen of the members are military men of different ranks. They are outnumbered only by the lawyers, of whom there are one hundred and thirty-one.

There has been severe fighting in Ecuador, between the forces of Alf aro and Sarasti. General Alfaro is gaining in favor and there is uneasiness in government circles.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY.

I understand now why I could not make money with the plater that I had. There are so many things about the plating business that I did not understand. It was not until I saw the advertisement of Gray & Co. Plating

Works, Columbus, Ohio, that I commenced to make money. The Royal Plater is sent by this house and all the trade secrets connected with the plating business, such as are necessary in the great gold and silver plating factories are given free. As soon as I got the Royal Plater I made money right along. Last week I cleared $72.50 and everybody is delighted with my work. Any one who has had trouble with their plating machines, as I have, should send to the above firm and obtain their cir culars, and they will be able to make lots of money as I have done. The Royal Plater is fitted out complete, everything ready for business ; you do not have to spend a cent for materials. During these hard times this infor mation is valuable.
