I Press Comments Arbitration Advo cated The London Times oil tbe Snbjeft. (Prom tbe Atlanta Constitution.) The London Timss takes the position that the United States should wait an indefiniteperiod for Chili's apology and reparation.

This organ British opinion says that Chili can hardly be asked with decency to go behind the findings of her own tribunals upon evidence taken by the courts of another country. To this the New York Press sharply replies: The Times ought to tell us how much decency England has usually shown in dealing with the Spanish-American republics, bs when, for instance, the' British war vessel Niobe bombarded Omoa in Honduras in 1873 foralleged injury to British subjects, the authorities of Honduras not even having had a chance to settle the matter by negotiation." Undoubtedly, England not have shown patience and forbear-apce fn dealing with Chi'i. Her war vessels would hae turned loose their boardsides long before tbls. But the point made by the London Times has nothing in It. Some of the 'witnesses in the Baltimore case were afraid to go before the Chilian tribunal, as they had good reason to believe that they would have been assassinated.

Even without their testimony, the evidence in the Chilian court showed very plainly that the crew of the Baltimore had been madfc.the victims Of an unprovoked, ana murderous outrage. i' It is too la'e In the day for England to persuade us that the settlement of this matter rests entirely with Chiii.

(From the Norfolk Virginian It is said la Washington that Li fac-i of the whole Cabinet, Seoretary Blaiua Insists not on war with Chili, but on arbitration. He holds that we can well afford to leave the whole niiiter to arbitration, and has even gone so iar a3 to suggest it. Of course we are not in position to say whether or POt the secretary is properly repovted, hut certainly it is ht the American people' prefer peaoe, peace with honor, and many people believe that the most direct route to a settlement the difficulty lies in arbitration. The virtues of arbitration have been preached to the nations of the earth for years by the Uaited States, and this being a matter believed by many to be within its bounds, it is said that now haye an opportunity pf praci ticmg wpat Rroach "tit there is an old adage which says that 'it takes two to 'make a bar-' and in the Question at issue it seems that while we may be wil ling to arbitrate, the other fellows are not so willlDg. It is reported that while the more eolightred class of the Chilian people prefer a peaceful solution of the difjferenoes between thhj country and their own, a very large majority of the other sort are clamoring for a tilt at arms, and it maybe, that despite its better judgment, the Chillap Cabinet, to save itself, will yield, and what tbenV Why war, oi oourse.

We believe in upholding and maintaining the dignity and honor of the country, but war should not be resort ed to, except as the last resort, and then there should be a move all alosg the line. iH9 Beckers' Self Raiding Buckwheat is sol In Packages.
