ROM the National German-American Alliance an} appeal has been sent to the people of Germany asking their aid in an effort to induce the Impe- rial Government to adopt the peace and arbitration proposals now under consideration at Washington. It is the wish of the petitioners that popular sen-| timent in Germany will eo atrongly declare itself on the side of peace that the Government, if it accepts the treaty offered by President Taft, will feel that it has the support of the great he BKBvening mass of the German people. | This indorsement of the arbitration proposals is the more grati- | fying because certain German and Irish clubs have declared a de-| termined antagonism to tho policy, and because the German Gov-| ernment has not shown any eagerneés to join with other governments | in promoting it. | The proposed treaties are easentially American in every re | spect. They are the outcome of American initiative, American aa- piration, American diplomacy and American influence. They will tend to augment the prestige of the American Republic by advancing | the welfare of the world. They, therefore, merit the support of | all ‘Americans, whether native or adopted. And Germany should | stand in. poet THE CARNIVAL OF MUSIC. ITH the week’s carnival of music that is to begin # next Sunday, Madison Square Garden will be put Poh to a use that will renew regret over its coming | destruction. The festival will be one of excep-| “et, tional value and interest. It will provide the pub-| at lic with the best possible music at the lowest} possible prices. To thousands who know little of | the higher attainments of music it will be an: education. To others | it will be a joy recreative alike both of soul and sense. ‘o better use could be made of the big Garden while we still | have it. Of all arts, music is the most elevating in its influences and | the most comprehensive in ite appeal. It provides merriment for! childhood, joy for youth, inspiration for maturity and consolation | for old age. And to every degree of native intelligence or acquired | culture it has a special charm and a particular delight. | That the festival will be well-attended appears to be already | assured by the eager inquiries made for seats and for information as | to the programmes for the different nights. ‘The arrangements prom- | ise also a genuine gratification to all who attend, no matter on what night. Tt will set, perhaps, a standard that will prompt to emula- tion to like festivals in other cities and in other summers. Coan OUR OLD FRIEND OSLER. ING GEORGE’S lavish bestowal of titles to mark his coronation is a matter of no concern to New York. It is true it will be troublesome to recall the former Lord Rosebery under the tilte of Mid- lothian, but we will not have to recall him often, unless he changes his habits. Our interest in the subject, therefore, will be mainly due to the elevation of Dr. Osler to the rank of baronet. It is another proof that a prophet never knows what is going to happen to him. When the doctor in gentle jest proclaimed that a man is useless at sixty and should be put into the discard, he certainly did not fore- see that he would have a baronet’s wreath bestowed upon him after passing the age he had fixed as the limit of human usefulness. But he who in his prime and exuberance of life was only Professor Bill has now in the decrepitudes of the sixties become Sir William, and the title descends from generation to generation as evidence that there was once an Osler that was favored by a King. The next time the learned gentleman and genial scientist makes | an after-dinner speech, it will be up to him to maintain the | thesis that no man can be either truly happy or really useful until after sixty. In the meantime a host of former critics will hasten to congratulate him, OME say State Highwayman Macdonald visited the scene of bis devastations on the Post road the other day, which appears to be true, as the thoroughfare is worse than ever and there seems to be even less doing than formerly A New York paper prints a story!

The Hishops also rank as peers, The rest of the peerage is made up of Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons (who rank in the order named), In olden times the peerage was formed of men who had done the King or lis ancestors some great service, and who were rewarded by a gift of wide estates and a title. Some were gallant warriors, some were wily states men; others had managed to win royal favor in less creditable ways.
