Many a time as a boy have I looked at

THE PEACX DELEGATES.
Voted Diplomat Will Discuss Interna
tional Arbitration.
The sessions of the International Peace
conference were begun at The Hague on
Thursday. There gathered at tbe quaint
Holland city a party of diplomats repre
senting the leading nations of tbe world,
whoe mission will be to consider the
possibility of lightening the military bur
dens of the people, a.d to attempt to de
vise means by which arbitration ciu be
suiaUiluted for warfare. Tbe beautiful
summer palace known as "Tbe House In
the Wols" has lieen selected as the
meeting plai-e, and the date- chosen is a
delicate compliment to the Cxtr, who
suggested the peace eongras. May li
being tbe birthday tif tbe autocrat of all
the Russias.
The congresH may accomplish little,
but its significance lies in tbe fact that it
marks a new idea of bow international
disputes should be settled. That its
originator should be tbe greatest military
autocrat in the world makes the projett
doubly Important. The points to tie dis
cussed comprise: An agreement not to
increase naval or military forces and tbe
corresonding budgHs for a filed period;
an eudcavnr to find means of reducing
the forces ami laidgets in the future; in
terdiction of tbe use of any new weapous
or explosives of a power higher thsu now
made; restriction of tbe ue of the most
terrible of existing axplosives, and for
bidding the throwing of any exphwives
from ball. x. us or similarly; forbidding
the employment of submarine torpedoca
and similar contrivance; undertaking
not to oouatruct vessels with rains; appli
cation of the Geneva convention to naval
warfare; neutralization of vessels sating
those wrecked in naval battles; revision
of the declaration concerning the laws
and customs of wareUlmmted at Brussels
in 1K71; a:eptance of the principle of
mediali in and arbitration in such cases as
lend themselves thereto.
Alui'Mt every nation invited has sent de
legates. Those troin the United States
are Andrew D. White, United States im
basador to Germany; Stanford Newell,
United States ambassador to the Nether
lands; Captain William Crosier, in litary
attache; Captain A. T. Malum, urfal at-t.-cbe;
Seth Low, president of Cdombia
university, of New York. All these have
accepted tbe iswition tendered tbem I y
the President.
Count Tol-toi has taken occasion to pub
lish his views of the peace congress, in tbe
results of which he ba but little faitb.
In his words: "The aim of Cie conference
will be, not to establish peace, but to hide
from men the sole means of escape from
the miseries of war, which lies in the re
fusal by private individuals of all partici
pation in the muriUs of war. And,
therefore, the conference can on no ac
count accept for discussion the question
suggested."
Eights ef the Reporter.
Marinette (Wis.) Star.
Inasmuch as the newspapers furnish the
medium through which the people learn
what is going on, they occupy a public
position which invests them with theduty
of obtaining and printing the news. Tbe
newspaper reporter is, in fact, a repre
sentative of the people; and when he
socks legitimate information, he is exer
cising a riuht which no one can possibly
question or deny. He porsuns his call
ing, not w iib sny purpose or desire to in
terfere or med lie iu the affairs of others,
but to diiciiarge a plain obligation to the
public
Many otherwise Intelligent persons do
not seem to understand that it isqtiite im
possible for acy one man to defeat or hin
der the work of a public journal by re
fusing to recognize its reporters when
they are seeking to exercise their proper
prerogatives. Nothing can exceed the ab
surd assumption of the individual iu
charo of affairs which are of interest
and conirn to the public, who turns
dow-n the newspaper reporter, and inter
feres with the performance of his duty.
The person w ho takes upon himself such
unwarranted authority, does not harm
the reporter aud newspaper so much as
he harms the public
For example, a newspaper reporter has
as much riirht on a wrecking train as the
officials of the railway. He goes ou the
floors of the Legislature, because he is as
properly placed there as the representa
tives themselves. All Institutions that
are created and supported by the people
and which touch their common welfare,
must, according to the modern order of
things, lie subject to public scrutmy ; and
the newspsper reporter is entitle! to lie
present, and to see and ask qutions,
without hindrance or evasion.

age limit for entrance his not been ad
