Delamater, of Mead- ville, the general vent bankers will not receive more than eight or ten cents on the dollar. We are sorry for the many creditors but eight cents on the dollar is better than nothing. assign- - Tue enormous increase in the volume unprecedented agricultural production and the unusual demand from abroad.

It is always honorable; it is always safe for a power like the United States; and while Congress ean. not safely take Issue with the President by an anti-war poliey, it should, in the exercise of the war-making authority of the nation, supplement any expression on the issue by the manly suggestion »f arbitration.” There is no occasion for war, but we Chilean ould be the AM trained message sl between two countries believe the President invites such an | engagement.
