Obituary --The New York Freeman's Jour nal says •there are two miserable fac tions of Iriehmen disturbing the peace of New York—one of which factions, Ribboniem, is distinctly ezcommunica• ted by the Catholic Church; and the other is hated by her, as being, dis• tincily, of the devil.' "Maze Thread on me Ooat-Tall I" The lkely Hibernian who went abroad all day in search oft; quarrel may no longer be cited to banish the blues. If indeed the story ie a joke it types a fact and illustrates capitally, a feature of human nature. How lohg is it since the joint high commission Sat in Washington and agreed upOn a basis of agreement between England and the United States, by which all matteils at issue between the two na tions were, we presume are, to be ad justed amicably ? That was not long ago. The country endorsed the con tract. The senate ratified it. The queen ratified it. Canada accepted it. Three or four days ago, perhaps, Mr. Schenck addressed a-London audience, and lauded the treaty of Washington. His audience cheered him to the coho. On the fourth of July, Count Von lieust, the Austrian premier, congrat ulated our minister at Viennat upon theratification of the treaty i and hail ed it as an earnest of the time when nations should discard war as the ar biter of disputes. All this is pleasant. Any plan' to adjust matters of variance without re course to brute force deserves applause. No man with a good heart and a cool head wants a war with England, oil with any other nation. For that rea son we shall have no war with Eng• land, of course; since dlie theory of our governmental system is that vir rue and intelligence hold the destinies of the republic in Int But it shall go hard with a•politician if lie cannot cook up a cause of war somehow. So, just as all our difficulties were settled, up pops ail island in Puget sound, by name of San Juan, and demands to know to whom its six people or so owe allegiance. On one end o f this island, which is probably worth anywhere f. ow a dime to a dollar, floats the flag Britain ; at the other the stars and tripes. Who shall have it? Well, a e don't know. But the restless poli ticians may calm their apprehensions —there will lie no war about San Juan. But on one side of this island rune a narrow strait ; on the other a broad channel. The question is which is the fence between mother and child—the strait or the broad channel. If we meant lair by each other, would it make any difference, think you ? We conclude that fences and boundary lines are for people who can't be hon est without such gentle compubiton. liar° channel is wide enough for Moth er and daughter to pass without dam age to drapery. liosario strait is also wide enough for two big ships to pass each other without getting befouled in rig.ong. Who cares, then, which is the boundary line? Sonic man who wants to be a candidate for president, perhaps; or .John Smith, who really wants to be constable next tall. The ambition is laudable in both cases. But war is played out. Nobody nowa days thinks it would be the height of happinees to do a red-coat Britisher to death. Nobody cares which side of San Juan the fence is built, and many care less whether there be any fence at all. All nations build fences three miles seaward from their shores ; but slier all, the sea is not to be pre emptied by lwer, king or president. We must all loolc forward to the day when nations will live like good neigh hors. State Executive Committee The last State Convention adopted a resolution qiittking the regular State Committee to consist of the Chairman of the several County Committees, and requirring Mr. Wallace, Chairman of the State Committee, and the two State candidates, to appoint an Executive Committee of eight, on whom should devolve the active work of the cam paign.

Ward Beecher, a canting pulpit demagogue, is endeavoring to produce more bloodshed and violence by advising that "the Orange societies should parade' next year witout a ban ner, or an inscription rubbed out."
