It is a significant fact that some of the Prominent Lordon papers, lately +o full of jingo bluster, have experienced a change of mind. The Chronicle now deprecates the position assumed by Lord Salisbury in the Venezuelan controversy. It deplores the fact that the present premier in 1885 cancelled the agreement for an arbitra- tion entered Into between Lord Granville and Guzman Blanco, and It points out that there is debatable territory on both sides of the so-called Schomburgk line, which has been stated by the English government as the blank wall cast of which no question can be raised. The Chronicle adds signifi- cantly: “It will be a grave error should the pub- lic imagine that a rigid insistance upon the Schombutgk line and the declaration that we do not admit arbétration on cne side of that line consticute the essence of the English case.” It seems to be dawning on the English intelligence that the people of the United States are in earnest in this matter. Thé disposition of the English press to belitile the case by calling the President’s mes- sage an electioneering dodge has disap- peared, and these journals now seem to accept the fact that the principles laid down in that document are supported by the whole American people. They may be assured thut there will be no back-down from the position now as- sumed by this country, and no President of the United States will ever recant on the Monrve doctrine in its applicability to just such affairs as that now in question. Nor will ary Congress refuse to support such a declaration to the final conclusion. These facts have at no time been doubted here at home, and the rest of the world is now rapidly reaching the conviction that we are In dead earnest in the matter. There will Le no war and the United States will take no steps backward on the Monroe doctrine, and it Is precisely because the British government has learned that we are thoroughly united on this question that it will find some way of settling tt without provoking a conflict with this country. — The Enudeavorers and the White Lot. Several weeks ago there was introduced in the Senate a joint resolution to grant to the committee in charge of the arrange- ments for the fifteenth international Chris- tian Endeavor corvention to be held in this city aext July the use of the White Lot and Monument Grounds for the loce- tion of the great tents for some of the meetings of the convention. The resolution was referred to the com- mittee on milltary affatrs and has not as yet Dee reported back to the Senate. This will be done in due course of time, and it is expected that the resolution will pass both heuses ard be approved by the Pres- icent: In Boston last year the Common was given the Endeavorers for their tents, and there seems to be no good reason why the same privilege should not he extended to the convention here next July as to the White Lot. The people composing this or- ganization have for their object the better- nent of themselves and the communities in which they reside. Their gatherings are in the interest of morality and good citizen- ship, cud their annval conventions exercise @ beneficial influence on the cities in which they are held. Permission was given to the Grand Army oz the Republic and to the Knights of Pythias to use the White Lot on the occa- sion of thelr encampments here, and the request of the Christian Endeavorers, a bedy larger than either of those organiza- tions, can hardly with propriety be refused. It is expected that there will be a hundred thousand -Endeavorers ift Washington at the convention, and they will come from all over the world. There is no other place than the White Lot in the District where the three large tents in which to hold their meetings ean be crected, and it is assumed that this fact will be recognized by Con- gress and that the resolution will pass in due time. ——_~ ++ —___ Mr. Cariisie and the Bond Bill. The administration has evidently changed front on the matter of issuing bonds since the Secretary of the Treasury made his an- nual report in 1893.and again tn 1894, as in- dieated in an article which appears else- where in The Star today. In those reports the secretary made recommendations that are practically carried out in the bond bill which passed the House last week and it Is cerious to note that Mr. Carlisle has placed himself on record in the last few days as antagonistic te that measure. The surface indication is that the whole controversy between him and the House committee on ways and means hinges upon a refusal of the latter body to insert the word “gold” in the bill instead of “coin.” The Star's informant points out clearly that it would be unwise to use the word “gold” in the new bonds for it would tend to discredit the bonds now outstanding in which the word “coin” appears. It is a somewhat start- ling statement by the head of the Treasury Department that the word “gold” is neces- sary in these obligations in view of the pol- icy of the government, continued over many years, to make Its payments in the most valuable money known to the financial world. It is, probable that the real motive for the antagonism of the secreta.y and presumably of the admimistration to this Dill is that it is specifically stated that the Proceeds of the bonds issued under {ts pro- visions are to be used exclusively for re- demption purposes. and it may be that Mr. |” Carlisle's objections are based somewhat, as well, upon the requirement that the bonds must be first offered to the American people @s a popula: loan. ——_+«s—___ if the District Commissioners have turned over any new leaves, it is to be hoped that they will cheer the public by letting the mewspaper representatives take a look at the contents of the fresh pages. + +> Botanist Schomburgk, in fidelity to his employcrs, evidently thought it would do mo harm to claim anything in sight that was worth having. ——— ++ __. Five Good Men and True. President Cleveland has chosen a remark- ably strong commission “to determine with sufficient certainty for our justification what is the true divislonal line between the Republic of Venezuela and British Guiana.” He has named five men of high repute, un- questioned. loyalty to American principles, and exceptional ability to conduct impar- tally such an Important inquiry as now de- volves upon them. “Fhe lines of political preferences have been ignored, and the com- mission now named by a democratic Prest- dent is composed of but two men of his own party as against three with supposed re- publican tenlencies. It is an American commission. containing two noted jurists, one diplomat of experience, a cultured law- yer with fine linguistic attainments, and an educat -r and investigator ef the highest rank. Justice Brewer will make an ideal chairman of the commission. Judge Alvey ls known locally as the extremely able oc- cupant of an important judicial position, and, while it 1s recognized that his ten- dencies are strongly pacific, he is a vigorous patriot, ard he will be a valuable member of the commission. Mr. White has had a varied experience abroad in diplomatic mat- ters, and as Minister to Germany and Rus- sia he secured a wide acquaintance with the affairs of Europe that may stand him in good stead in the present inquiry. Mr. Coudert’s standing as a member of the bar is so high that he may be justly termed one of America’s very foremost lawyers. Of French extraction, he is familiar with that language and with other Latin tongues, and thus he may become one. of the hardest workers on the commission, for a knowl- edge of Spanish and perhaps of other lan- guages may prove invaluable to the bound- ary investigators. Mr. Coudert’s appoint- ment Is not apt to please the English people, for he is an earnest, enthustastic believer in the present appropriateness of the Monroe Doctrine, and Fis work as one of the counsel for the United States during the recent Bering sea arbitration commission stamped him as an uncompromising American. President Gilman of Johns Hopkins Uni- versity has taken little part in public af- fairs, having been closely engaged in educa- tional matters throughout his career. He has attained wide repute as an historian, and is the author of a valuable biography of President Monroe. Personally, politically and practically, the commission is a strong one. The five men chosen by the President are all good Ameri- cans, and their verdict in the case will be accepted by the nation as an honest, im- Partial conclusion. As outlined by Mr. Cleveland’s message of December 17, they will weigh all the evidence that may be at- tainable bearing upon the bqundary dispute, and it is pleasant to note that the British government seems now disposed to accord @ practical recognition of the commission by submitting testimony through the State Department. Upon the finding of the com- mission the future course of events will de- pend, and, tn view of the President's words, their task is most delicate and weighty, for he said: “When such report is made and accepted it will, in my opinion, be the duty of the United States to resist by every means in its power as a wilful aggression upon its rights and interests the appropriation by Great Britain of any lands or the exercise of governmental jurisdiction over any terri- tory which, afier investigation, we have determined of right belongs to Venezuela.” To resert in vigorous terms the American doctrine to which the nation will adhere is net to cause war. To strengthen navy and coast fortifications ts not to bring war nearer. Both firm declaration and timely Preparation make for peace. There will be ro war between the United States and England, because the republic is right in the position which it has taken, is united in sustaining it, and will be prepared ts enforce it; and zlso because the English premier is wrong in contemptuously reject- ing the suggesticn of arbitcation, and will not be backed to the point of war on this issue by the deliberate judgment of the English people. Under the circumstances American firmness and positiveness, if un- accompanied by bluster, foster peace and indefinitely postpene war. With adults as well as children, with nations as well as individuals, it often happens that there is nothing so_corciliating as a little sever- ity. — Nobody wants war. Everybody wants Peace. Salisbury should make a note of the fact and fail into fine with the common sertiment.’ WH the English people sustain him in comrelling war, by, persistent re- fusal to erbitrate concerning the validity of a boundary line which was arbitrarily laid down by a.botanist as England's max- imum ter.tative claim? ———_~++-____.
