IR RICHARD H N COLLINS, who was S one of the arbitrators in the international tribunal before which the Venezuelan boundary | dispute was heard, has recently called attention to the change which the development of events has brought about in public sentiment among the people of the United States and of Great Britain. In order to establish the claims of Venezuela ex- President Harrison and his associates warmly com- mended the manner in which the Spanish had founded and built up their colonies. It was argued that the beneficent character of Spanish colonization was such that it was to be assumed the claims of the Vene- zuelans were just. The Spaniards, it was said, are 3 considerate people and would never have committed an aggression or an unfair encroachment upon the territory of their neighbors, the Dutch colony of Guiana. On the other hand the British, who, as suc- | cessors to the Dutch, were urging their claims against | Venezuela, maintained that the Dutch were the best | and noblest of colonizers, and that it was not pos- sible they could have claimed for themselves territory which justly belonged to their Spanish neighbors. That was the way the argument was conducted over the Venezuelan boundary, but now see what has hap- pened. The Americans, after asserting the bene- | ficence of Spanish colonization, have swept it off the map of the East and West Indies, and the British, after vehemently asserting the excellence of Dutch colonies, are now trying to eliminate them from South Africa. ~ i : This change in sentiment may be attributed to the irony of fate or the whirligig of time, according as one views it seriously or humorously. With nations as with individuals, circumstances alter cases. We had a great respect for Spanish colonization so long as it was Great Britain that was attacking it, but when it came our turn to take up the white man’s burden the case at once assumed a different aspect. So the Brit- ish were quite sure that all the Dutch colonists did was quite right so long as the Dutch claims were di- | rected against the Spanish, but when they stood in ! the way of British expansion, then everything became different : The only strange feature of the affair is that the | change should have occurred so promptly and should have happened to both the Americans and the British | at about the same time. There may be something of | fun in such a shifting of ground on the part of two | grave and dignified nations, but it is safe to say that | neither the Spanish nor the Dutch perceive the humor of it £ Germany seems to be jealous of England as a “civilizer” in thé Orient. The Kaiser, inspired by his position as a Christian monarch, has landed an army and some powerful guns in a Chinese province and intends to clear the way for the messengers of the | good book Another domain sacred to the manipulations .of | State “grafters” has been invaded. President Wheeler of the University of California says our State series of schoolbooks is a gigantic frand. | | The Chicago capitalist who has reached the con- | clusion that workingmen have no right to marry is | either ashamed of himself or doesn’t speculate except lin human It THE GERMAN MEAT BILL. NCE more the famous “meat bill” supported by the Agrarians of Germany has been “shelved,” and this time the shelving occurs under circumstances that cause no little surprise. That the measure would meet with strong opposition in the Reichstag was foreknown, but when it passed that body the almost universal belief was it had vir- tually become a law, since the Bundesrath is so much under the control of the landed aristocracy that any | bill designed in their interests hardly meets with even a show of opposition there. p Reports from Berlin are to the effect that the shelv- ing of the bill is due to the personal influence of the Kaiser, who wishes to hold it back until the Reichstag has voted on the naval programme. If the Agrarians vote against the naval bill the Kaiser, it is said, will see to it that the meat bill is defeated. Thus we are presented with a view of the august William posing in the attitude of a political boss using one important bill as a club with which to force members of a legis- lative body to vote for another. With the fate of the meat bill we are almost as much concerned as Germany. The object of it is to shut foreign meat out of the German market and that will mean a heavy loss of trade fo our meat-pro- decing States. In view of the impending action in Germany there is already a discussion in the Eastern Statcg as to what course we should pursue with re- spect to it. The trend of the discussion is in favor of retaliation of one kind or another. It is said the German bill will deprive our pork and beef packers of a trade which amounts to $20,000,000 annually, and we should by tariff measures shut an equal amount of SDAY, PR S S A S S S S S P S S S S S S S S S S S MARCH 21, 1900.

If the party who was left in charge had unlimited power of at- torney he could dispose of the interest he represents. The fact that the individual has a chattel mortgage on the absentee’s interest in the store will not authorize him to sell that interest unless the time has come to foreclose. —_———————— Cal. glace frait 50c per Ib at Townsend’s.* —_——e— — Spectal information supplied dafly to business houses and public men by tha Press Clipping Bureau (Allen’s), 510 Mont- gomery street.
