It was large- ly attended by representative citizens of the naticn’s capital, and the cpeeches that were delivered eloquently and ef- fectively pictured the good sense of arbi- tration as opposed to the folly of tseless There was a temperate tone in what was said and there was a praise- absence of a tendency that has ntly developed to scold the Senate for its failure to ratify the treaty out of hand without mature deliberation. Indeed the inspiration of the addresses seemed to he cognition of th at importance of international episode involving the of more than vsual care in the consummation of that broadly desirable the treaty of arbitration between two of the most powerful nations of the world. The resolutions adopted by the meeting Jemonstrate this fact. These dec- larations testify to the “approbation of the great principle of international arbitra- tion” on the part of the people of the Dis- trict of Columbia. They characterize the “a distinct advance toward the jon,” and “a helpful example for other nations.” Unlike the utterances of some similar meetings elsewhere, the adopted resolutions did not demand imme- diate, unqualified approval by the Senate, or intimate that deliberation on the part of that body should be regarded by the people as indicating an unwholesome de- gree of Anglophobia, or petty spite toward the American admi.istration. The meeting declared that those present would “hail with joy and patriotic pride” the treaty’s confirmation. Ex-Secretary Foster said the ag was in effect a martfestation of be gratification ef Washington's citizens that such an important step had been taken in the direction of permanent peace tween Great Britain and the United ‘The speakers seemed to agree that warfare wort ree! a this nm cessity result, treaty best viliz me the mere formulation of the treaty, even with defects from the American point of view. was a valuable achievement and a step toward that ideal of interna- relationship which will recognize rather than might.

It is the first step which counts: and that in the direction of gen- tration has already been taken. —_-— e = — Philadeiphia’s Object Lesson. Philadelphia has been striving for some time to get rid of the overhead wire nul- s . but without marked success. Yes- -rday’s fire, that wiped out about eleven dred thousand dollars’ worth of prop- y. taught an impressive lesson concern- the wisdom of this effort. The flames raged in the very heart of the city, where traffic heaviest, and at a time when there is the most urgent demand for trac- tua facilities. The city’s trolley street car service, however, was seriously crippled by he fire, as it was necessary to cut the erhead feed wires to prevent accidents to clear the streets of obstructions ing the work of fighting the flames. and tely. this precaution was taken no lives were lost and no pre- me was wasted. But the cars were for some hours, and the traffic that section of the city was par- This interfered also with the prompt delivery of the mails that are ordi- narily carried on street cars. All the tel- esraph and telephone wires in the vicinity were fire at as well, and thus the ' of Philadelphia was shut off from all mmunication with other sections so far the coramercial interests were con- ei. The police and fire alarm wires, however, were underground, beyond, the anger of interference, and these were the only electrical conductors that did not suf- ter. Had it not been for the burial of the y's system over one hundred and twenty ires in constant use by the police and fire departments of Philadelphia would have been destroyed. There is food for local re- fection in these facts soe It possible that all his philoso- will be insufficient to keep Mr. Hill om feeling jealous of Mr. Platt for his dom from obligations to come forward any crisis as the defender of an admin- is, possibly. an injustice to accuse Mr. of # disin Hnation to work.

A featur of the bill that deserves particu- lar commendation fs the provision declar- ing that these deadly poisons must be sold in three-cornered bottles, which will enable the user to become aware of the dangerous nature of their contents imme- diately upon grasping them. This wise regulation might be supplemented by an- other compelling druggists to keep their stock of poisons in bottles of a distinctive character, such as laws in certain states require. One of these statutes prescribes the use of a bottle with a stopper covered with some permanently sticky substance; another obliges the druggist to use stop- pers with sharp projecting points In poison bottles, while still another requires’ the use of triangular bottles such as are pro- vided in the present bill for the retail trade. These precautions against the careless or ignorant handling of drugs, both in and out of the store, involve prac- tically no difficulty cr expense worthy of consideration when compared with the probabie saving in human life that is thereby effected. —++e—_—_ President-elect McKinley has given so much time and thought to the formation of a cabinet it woull perhaps be tncon- siderate of the present administration to leave it no work by which to Cistinguish itself. ——_+ + > ——___—__ It is a relief to know that General Coxey of Ohio will not organize his personally con- acted tour, 2, with any definite de- signs on the various local appointments af- forded by the District of Columbia.

Journal, The sclection of Senator Sherman for Sec- retary ef State under Major McKinley will heap more honors upon Senator Frye, who, besides being the presiding officer of the Senate in tne absence of the Vice Presi- dent. is chairman of the committee on com- merce, one of the most important in the Senate, and a member of numerous other esirable cominittees. Senator Sherman is the chairman of the committee on foreign relations, probabiy the most desirable com- propriations. Senator Frye is te ranking member, as it ts called, of the committee on foreign relations and according to the precedent always followed in the Senate, he would be promoted to the chairmanship of the committee on foreign affairs when Senator Sherman retires the 4th of next March. He will then relinquish the chair- nship of the committe on commerce, but retain his membership. Besides these, Sen- ator L'rye is a member of these other com- mittees: Fisheries, Pacific rallroads, Poto- mac river front, and University of the United States. medicines.

Another bill introduced by Mr. McCormick proposes ‘o regulate the sale of poisons in the Disirtct by making ft of these bills fixes | Senator Hale will also be moved up after March 4, next. At present he has a de- sirable chairmanship of the committee on printing, but he is the ranking member of beth the committee on appropriations and ot the committee on naval affairs, of which Don Cameron of Pennsyivania is chatr- zaan. When Senator Cameron retires for Senator-clect Penrose, Mr, Hale will re- ceive that chairmanship. The other com- mittees of which he is a member are: Cen- sus, relations with Canada, and private land claims. No other state in the Union has two senators who hold such high posi- tions in the Senate as do the two senators from Maine. $5 for Pure Wool Men’s Suits.
