It was thought by the members of the peace con- | drew the treaty that questions involving national | tly would not go to the court that was created. Rather ed that only indirect and secondary issues, only re- lving the honor of nations, would be considered. Among hese would be financial claims, disputed boundaries, the observance treaties of commerce, extradition and expatriation, and perhaps d nt and revision of the international code of war as formed | Geneva convention. | it is true that many of these issues might be among the ses of war, they are secondary and not primary causes. The con- of the Russian fleet is a primary cause. Great Britain would been justified in treating the firing on the trawlers as an act of to be followed by an order to Embassador Hardinge to demand s not ssports of the Czar, and immediate reprisal. We said recently, | in reviewing the condemnation of the American naval power by Mr. John W. Foster, that peace is to be secured only by action of the , powers that are entirely able to make war. It is for the hawk and | not the hen to make peace. This observation is speedily justified | by the honorable course of Great Britain. But does any one believe | that Russia would have taken that way out of the difficulty had not | Great Britain beent able to’carry resentment to the extent of de- | stroying Russian sea power? It is obvious that peace for weak na tions, and for the world, must come from abstention of the strong | and not in answer to the pleadings of the weak. | The adjustment by international arbitration of this primary cause of war between the two empires is so supremely important that | its value cannot be overestimated. It forms a new basis for the | public opinion of the world. Hereafter two nations between which there is primary cause for military strife will find it practically im- possible to draw the sword until the soothing effect of international arbitration has been tried. And when tried it is practically certain | that war will be averted. There may be another more immediate effect. The same public opinion that this settlement will generate may force an ending of the carnage in Asia to which Russia is a party, and bring about a settlement of the war with Japan. The Japanese Government has kept within reach of such a possibility by strict observance of all of the few humanities of war. Her summons to Port Arthur to surren- | der when defense became hopeless was approved by the world. When Stoessel refused, the Japanese offer of safe conduct from the be- sieged fortress of women, children and non-combatants kept Japan in line with the world’s conception of humanity and its aspiration for peace, and again Stoessel’s refusal heightened a contrast favorable to | the Mikado. Let us hope that Great Britain has accomplished a good to the world far beyond the peaceful settlement of an issue that justified RED HOT IN COLUSA. oL grece 1’ UDGED by what appears in our always able and sometimes ami- | immediate war. J able contemporary, the Colusa Sun, that fertile part of the| Sacramento Valley is the only place in the United States where | the campaign is above blood heat. Indeed, it would appear that a | fever thermometer would lose its quicksilver by running out at the ! top, if it were put under the political tongue of old Colusa. The ! Sun shines vertically up there, and every beam is a blazer. In af recent issue that paper says: “The white people of the South were trying to do all in their power to elevate the standard of negro in- | telligence. But Mr. Roosevelt comes in and tells them thew must ' tzke the negroes in as social equals ; orders them what they must do.” | Really that is so bad that we must call for a bill of particulars. | We want the text of that order and the exact language in which the | President told them to make the negroes social equals. President Jefferson, the father and founder of the Democratic party, had a! negro to dine with him, and the Democratic party ran a candidate once for’ the Vice Presidency who had a negro wife and a large fzmily of mulatto children. If he Itad become President a negro woman would have been the mistress of the White House and the | first lady of the land. Wouldn’t that have made Colusa torrid? | But what is the wisdom of being foolish? Why imagine vain | things? President Roosevelt has done none of the things imputed to him. He accepts, as all sensible men do, the declaration of Booker | Washington that the negfo is not thinking of sécial equality and does not desire it. What he needs is recognition of the fact that he is a human being and entitled to the natural rights that belong o men. Social distinctions are artificial, even among white people,.and they are equally artificial among negroes, and are just as much ai- fected by race and color. 5 | 1f our venerable friend of the Colusa Sun wait to receive a negro on terms of social equality by order of President Roosevelt, he will have longer life than his fondest friends have wished for him. We implore him to refrigerate a little. It is not good for the blood to get so hot.

The agri- cultural college over at Berkeley, which has come to take the position of mentor in ‘questions of scientific farm practice and initiator of new ideas for producers the State over, has so far outgrown the limits of its earlier province as to be seriously handicapped in the work’ of properly training its students and carrying on original in- vestigation along experimental lines. At present time isolated sheds and even an unused barn have been pressed into service to accommo- date the‘great bulk of work that has come upon this department of the university. A new building, adequate to present needs and de- signed to permit of the introduction of instruction in new and im- portant courses, is a crying need. The work that has been done by the farmers’ institutes in the past is sufficient argument for the need of increasing this sphere of the university’s activity. At present time regular instructors in the agricultural department are forced to divide their time so largely be- tween classes at Berkeley and institute work in the field that the aims of their joint endeavor are accomplished with difficulty only. Through its work as an agricultural experiment station and its ex- tension of instruction through the institutes the department at Berkeley has made itself invaluable to agriculturists in every district in the State. In large measure has that class of producers come to depend upon the assistance and encouragement of the scientists in the State institution. Their call for aid represents an endeavor in the best interests of the whole State and should be accorded favorable consideration. O people of this city will consider the responsibility that is upon them to set the pace for the future in the election of a judiciary. This is the first time in the history of San Francisco that we have a fair chance ‘to take the judgeships out of party politics and free the bench of all obligations to either party or to any organization of men. % The Bar Association appreciates the value of the opportunity by formally favoring the election of Judges Murasky, Troutt, Seaweil and Kerrigan. Every lawyer knows the advantage of taking his cause to an unbiased Judge. But when the election of Judges is a purely party matter what lawyer goes without misgivings before a Judge in a case in which the Judge’s party manager is interested on. the other side? taking human nature as it is, there is always a feeling that it may insensibly deflect the judicial mind, and that justice will not get impartial consideration. Now if these feelings affect the lawyers sufficiently to enlist the bar in the election of an impartial bench, how much more important is such a bench to the people! There are many more clients than lawyers. Indeed, every citi- zen is a potential suitor at law, to vindicate his rights of person and property. If every Judge must go to the bench after an intense partisan struggle carrying with him the obligations implied by such a contest, it will soon be that self-respecting lawyers of the attain- THE LAST WEEK.

Shorter than the redingote or pelisse, it is no longer than the ancient basquine, but resembles both. It is cut to fit and may be worn either open or closed. The sleeves—of medium width— are loose or shirred into bands. The skirt of the coat or casaque, while close at about the waistline, falls at the bot- tom In a sort of organ plait effect. It is a wrap especially adapted to the autumn. One.such is in pearl gray zibeline, lined with white satin. It is plain, but has Directoire revers that form folds across the bust in the cen- ter, and the same fold effect isrepeated on the sleeves. It is severely plain, but the quality of the zibeline and satin is such that a very handsome and expen- sive garment results from the combina- tion. There are, however, several hand- some silver and cut steel cabochons down the front. Among new gown materials for the coming summer will be cotton linens, if such a term may be properly applied to clever imitations of linen, and the imi- tation will include even to the irreg- ular weave. So close are these imita- tions that an unskilled person cannot detect the difference when they are made up. “ Printed organdies, in exquisite de- signs, will be sold as low as 25 cents a yard, and these will be made in the Pompadour and Louls XV designs. Cotton pongees, while not a novelty, | are being perfected as Imitations of | the silk pongees. Probably the most fashionable fabric for the great majority for the coming spring ‘and summer will be mohairs, the plain qualities leading and the “fancies,” as they are termed, being second, while, aside from mobhairs, Voiles will be worn by the ultra fash- ionable. It must be remembered that the manufacturers are making or have already manufactured the goods for the coming spring and summer of 1905, and that buyers for the smart shops are now placing and have been so for weeks, orders for these goods; there- fore, if it is known what fabrics are selling best it is easy to determine what will be worn. In silks, the chiffon taffetas, crepes and tuseahs will be favorites. Soft failles and shantung and, of course, the standard indias and foulards will be more or less in demand.

He is as hard to suit as a Scotch sermon taster. 3 He has put himself on record, and the fact makes him over-critical. He feels bound to a selfish consisteney of conduct; he must live up to the repu- tation for fastidiousness which he has established for himself with his ac- quaintances, says Dorothy Fenimore in the Chicago Journal.

After remaining hidden from view for seven days, Daisy Ness of Dallastown, Pa., was found in the sitting-room of her parents’ home crouched behind an organ. The girl was in an emaciated | condition from the want of food. She is about 17 years old. Having become dissatisfied with her home life she took this means of ascertaining the feeling of her family concerning her. ‘When found the girl was so weak that she was unable to give any in- formation as to her whereabouts or whether she had remained in the one position all the time. She admitted drinking a can of milk that had been put down for the cat. Turkey Hatches Chickens. Bert Crum, who resides northeast of Sulphur Springs, O., has a turley gob- bler which has succeeded in hatching a dozen chickens. Not being satisfled with the work already accomplished the gobbler has undertaken to raise the chicks and is doing as well as a mother hen could. This is the second attempt of the gobbler to hatch a lot of eggs, the first attempt being a failure. Sev- enty-nine years ago Crum’s great grandfather possessed a gobbler of equal distinction, the ancient gobbler having hatched a lot of eggs. A Quaint Process. 2 The letting of an acre of land has just been sold near Bridgewater, Eng- land, by the burning of half an inch of candle, the last bidder before the flame died out being the purchaser. The land was left four centuries ago for church purposes, the testator di- recting that the letting should be sold every twentw-one years by the “burn- ing of the candle,” and the quaint pro- cess has been observed periodically ever since. ‘Walking Honeymoon. The Prince of Waldenburg, a wealthy Viennese nobleman, and his newly wed- ded bride are spending their honey- moon in an original manner. Accompanied by a white mule, which carries a small traveling outfit, they are making a walking tour through Italy. A large staff of servants with heavy luggage travels ahead of the bridal pair to arrange for their recep- tion at the best hotels of the towns visited. . 7 Centipede, Banana, Death. Elsie Swan, 21 years old, died in con- vulsions agMinonk, IlL., a few days ago, after eating a part of a ‘banana. Local physicians assert the banana was poi- soned by a centipede. The fruit came from Chicago. A telegram to the whole- sale dealer brought the reply that cen- tipedes often come as passengers in bunches of bananas. Bohemia is the country of long courtships. In mo other part of the world are they so abnormally drawn out. It is not rare to hear of en- gagements which have extended from fifteen to twenty years. An old man died recently in Prague at the age of 99, who had been courting a sweet- heart for sixty-two years. B He Was Too Late.

If a man, native of a forelgn country, to which he owes military service, leaves that country before the per- formance of such servicey comes to the United States and becomes a citizen thereof, if he returns to the land of his birth he is liable to be taken by the authorities and made to perform that military service. In the matter of an obligation due to a forelgn country prior to the acceptance of an allen to American citizenship tHe United States will not interfere. Germany, in Yme of Ppeace, permits any of its subjects who Rave become citizens of the United States but have not performed military duty to visit that country for a perfod not exceeding four months without be- ing forced into military service. HEKTOGRAPH—An Old Subscriber, Alameda, Cal. The following is given as the method for making a hekto- graph that, if allowed to remain for two days after using, will not need washing, but will absorb all the ink and not interfere with the making of a new transfer: Soak an ounce of good gelatine over night In enough cold water to cover it well, taking care that all the gelatine is swelled.. Prepare a salt-water bath by dissolving *two ounces of common salt in a pint of water. Heat seven or eight ounces of glycerin over the salt-water bath to a temperature of 200 Fahrenheit, then pour off from the gelatine all the water remaining” unabsorbed, add the gelatine to the hot glyeerin, continuing the heating for an hour, carefully stir- ring the mixture occasionally, avoiding as much as possible the formation of bubbles. Finally add twenty drops of the oil of cloves to prevent decompo- sition. The composition is then ready to pour into shallow tins in which it is to be used. After the tin is filled it must remain in a level position, for at i
