THE OBSERVER. THUH8DAY JANUABY 1, 19(3 FAFETTEVILL1E N. C, 1. J BALK, litter aad Propriator. I. J HALI, Jr., General Bulnsss lu't Istaallshsl la 1IS by I. J. Bali, Ir. TBI YII.ZOILa I11VATIOV. The President bas very properly de clined the invitation of Great Britain ..end Germany to take tbe rerponeibility of arbitrating - lha . dipule-between tboie conntritt and Veoizaela. Be baa thni oOl only relieved tbe govern ment of tbe moral obligation, & as' lamed by msoy.x oomtnentatore, of seeing that the award, if sgainat Yen e inula, should be made food, but, wbat in an international sense ia'.njote im banal. It ia generally oocceded' tbat tbe shifting o( tbe burden of settlftlg. tbe first case which baa arisen within tbe acope of that tribunal's powers frcm it to tbe decision of another arbitrator, would practically have sounded it; death knell. Meanwhile, the fleet of the blockade established by tbe European powers interested against their helpless adver sary, is distressing in the extreme. A cablegram from Li Gaajra says ttat food riots are expected there. Among the laboring classes there is already great siffjricg, owing to the hyh prices of foodstoffs and the lack of work resulting from tbe blcckade. Folly 1,000 men in Li Gaayra, it ap pears, rely for tbeir livelihood upon tbe woik of shifting cargoes frcm steamers acd sailing vessels to tbe rail road. Most of these men are renderi d Hie and will probably remain so as long as the blockade continues. Tl e Ventzuelan authorities fear aots cf violence against the property of for eigners. When the freight now on band, it ia farther declared, bts been moved on the railroads to Caracas and Valencia both of these lines will close. Farther advances in tbe prices of food Steffi will than take place. President Castro is reported to have aooepted I ha arbitration of the Hague tribunal ia tbe following temperate words: "We would have preferred to have President Roosevelt as tbe arbitrator rather than a foreign tribunal, but we are convinced of tbe justice of our cause and of tbe sincerity of our good friends in Washington. We adopt witb great willingness tbe course which tbey wish os to pursue. Wn regret to say tbe violent conduct of Germany and to a less degree of England has tended to bring tbe older oivilizitions into disre pnle in South America. For this I am sorry." The view of tbe situation taken at Washington is described in a press dis patch from that city, as follow : Tbe Veonaelan Government is bow in possession of th complete notes of Great Britain and Germany cootaiurg tbe reservations made by tbose Gov ernments btfjre tbe decision wis reached that issnes between Yeni xaela and tbe European Governments having claims against ber should be referred to The Hague tribunal for atbitra'ion. Tbe Uoited States, having scted as intermediary in the steps leading up to the acceptance of arbitration, now turns over to Veonaela tbe formal work of oompleticg the basis for a full bearing at Tbe Hague Tbe notes were tiaosmitled through United States Minister Bowen, at Caracas. Officials sre hopeful that tbe govern meats interested will wo'k barmo nioasly and conseientiouslv to reach an early and final solutioo. Toe Adm n istration is acicua that there soon mav be an amelioration cf the blockade. I; is certain this Government will use every iff or t to bave tbe blockade called t ff pending consideration cf the ques tiooa at issue by The Hague tribunal lor tbe double reason that its continu ance is a menace to peaea and order and because of tbe barmfol effec's on United States shipping to Yennuelan ports.

Writing 00 tbe debasing effect cf sensational billboard posters and tbe increasing tendency of advertUe-s 10 adopt newspapers and otbc forms of publicity in tbeir stead, Lvmao B. Glover, Mr. Richard Mansfield's maoa ger. recently said : "Tbe day of vulgar posters has gone by. So strong a public sentiment bas been raised by tbe objectionable bill boards of tbe past that a tremendous movement for their eradication bas been witnessed all over tbe country, and the time will surely come when posters as tbe vehieie of vulgarity and worse will be tabooed as religiously as any other publ.c exhibition of obsoeoity or crime. "Tne very means thought to be pos eased of special drawirg power proved us owo assassin. Tbe exaggeration ot wickedness bad ascomplished what lbs proposed curtailment of it bad failed to do.

To the intense relief ot peison fa miliar wiih lbs interior workings ot the White House and tbe State Dopart ment the President baa yielded to tbe strong pressure brought to bear on bim by the Secretaries of State and War and ha foregone the pleasure of atbi trating tbe differences between Vrne mela and the foreign power. Tbe invitation of Usimany an,d (J.-eat Britain to arbritrate their claims to Battered the President Ita't for some lime bis better judgment'.; cbtenred aod it seemed tbat, yr spite ot i&fi pro teats of Messrg,,4fay and Root aiij many of tefltepoblican senators, he would agept the position. So em pbatife fjowever, were the arguments asJsiiTjat such a course, almost every Republican newspaper protesting, tbat he was obliged to--yield and it now appears tbat the trouble of Veocxuela will be arjadieated by tbe Hagoe Tri bunal. Through tbe enterprise of a metro politan daily paper the terms of tbe Cuban ireaty have been made poblio and bave excited both admiration and criticism. To those members ot Con gress who represent the manufacturing interests ot tbe East the convention affords tbe utmost satisfaction, bat to those who represent agricultural eon stituerjeie8 it is the oocaston of worry and anxiety. Following the usual custom of his party, Secretary Bay has secured the most signal advantages forthe manufacturing and other vested inter ests, to the disadvantage of tbe agricol tnrists. While .manufactured silk, watches, btfibtellas and a long line of similar products secure a concession of 40 per cent, from the Cuban duties, such important agricultural productions as fl 'Ur, wheat products, corn and its products, beef and other meats, etc., receive but the regulation 20 per ceo'. It is Irue that oottoa and wool iu tbe raw slate receive a special disoount of 30 per cent., but, as has been pointed out by a western Republican, Cuba is not a manufacturing country and there will be little sale for the raw materials. Oa tbe manufactured cotton and woolen goods a disoount of 40 per cent, is allowed, so tbat again tbe manofact urers are the beneficiaries.. The inter est of the beet sugar producers are, ot course, saonficed as 20 per cent, reduction is sllowed 00 Cuban eugar entering toe United States. Tbe prospects for the ratification of the treaty are not as rosy as the admin istration organs represent. Senator 1 Burrows, after examioiag tbe treaty, has said tbat he will form no opinion as to its worth ontil after the national beet sugar convention, to take place in Washington next week. Tbe Califor oia delegation is strongly opposed to tbe treaty and is attempting to form an alliance witb the New Eogland delega tion wbieh is earnestly opposed to tbe Hay-Bind convention, wbicb will pel mi t New Fonndiaod fisb and bs.it to compete with the New Eoglacd indus tries, and to tbe Easson treaty with France which will permit French silks acd notions to compete witb nnme'ous New Eaglaod manufacturers. Ia this situation Senator Lodge finds himself iu a serious dilemma. His friendship for tbe President prompts bm to vote for the Cuban treaty, bat bis seal in the Senate would be imperriiled by tbe neg'eo! of any opportunity to defeat tbe Frooch and New Fouodlaod treat ies. Under these circumstances the Senator is doiog a great deal of thinking, bat is not talking for pub lication. . A ramor which is tbe occasion of senoos misgiviogs to the friends of tbe President bas leaked oat from the White Hoase. It is to tbe Sect tbat Mr. Roosevelt is seriously contempla ting tbe appointment of tbe notorious Billy Larimer, Congressman elect, to tbe position ct Secretary ot tbe De partment ot Commerce and Labor which it is assumed will be created tliis session. It has long been the President's intention to appoiot Seore tary Cortelyoa to this important post but strong pressure is being brongbt to bear by tbe Illinois machine which claims tbat it has received 00 conside ration in retnro for its support of tbe President. The claim is nndoubtedly true, acd, to tbe credit ot Mr. hoose velt, it may be said tbat tbe unsavory reputation of tbe Illinois machine bas made h'm exceedingly cbarv abont favoring it wiib patronage, but as tbe time for tbe national conventioa ap proacbes r. Roosevelt becomes less independent acd tbe Illinois delegation is a powerful one. Tbeir suiport would prove much more 1 ff ctnal than am Mr. Cortelyou could deliver as hi- whole itflience.it he bas soy. is ia Ne Ycnk, tbe support of which S'.ate Mr. Hoose T- It believes he is sore of. It ba3 remained for Germany and Great Britain to force the Repub bans to declare their position in regard to tbe r hilippines. When tbe treaty ot Pari was negotiated it had not entered 'be mind ot any Republican tbat the United Slates was acquiring territory witn a view to its submission and per manent control. At tbe most, it was assumed that a protectorate wsa to be formed over tbe Philippines, wbicb were in other respects to eoioy the Dri viieges of Belt government. Tbis being the case tbe ''open door policy" was guaranteed in Poilippine customs legis lation. Tbe Uaited States was to seek no advantage in the Philippine market oat guaranteed toother nation. Later, bowe ver, the Philippine Commission imposed an export duty of $760 per ton on Manila bemp and fiber. Tbis doty was rebated wben the goods were sent to tbe Uoited Stales and accordingly the Powers bave entered a protest. Tbe Administration refases to seethe JJ ties of the protest and state it posi tion a follow: it say that it i impos sible to maintain tbe door to tbeEailio pine "a wide open" as the door to Chins f r instance, a tbe Philippines are a possession of this eoaotry and must ue regsrnea as in toe same relaaj t on with tbe United State a a?e thrl British eolontes to tbe parent nation. Senator Mirgao bas made public a statement in wbieh he predict tbat the isso in the next campaign will be the tar ff . He also advances his theory of trnst eontrol wbieb ha for it basic principle tbe taxation ot tbe eanital stock of corporation in a prrgrestive ratio, tbe las to rail veiy heavily on large agregations cf capital. The Sen ator administers a grave rtboke to tbe leader of both the great political par lies whom be charge with having co quetted witb the trnsts at tbe expense of tbe people and be predicts that un less a decided ebabge shall occur, both parties will be overtbrowo.
