Philadelphia purposes to give the world an object | lesson in the construction of an up-to-date boulevard. ! It is to be traversed throughout its length by! an clectric railway and the company operating the line is to co-operate with the city in making the road the best and grandest ever seen. In describing the pro- | jected work one of the managers of the road said the boulevard will be 300 feet wide and ten miles long. The electric line will occupy 100 feet in the center of the road. The tracks will be sunk below the level of the driveway. It was added that the line would be embanked with sloping lawns of grass and beds ofl { flowers, so as to resemble a tropical garden ten miles Jong. The tracks will be crossed by hundreds of low | bridges which, while affording ample means for per- | sons to cross without danger from the swift movingf cars, will also add to the picturesque appearance of the drive. In short, it seems that Philadelphia is go- | ing to set us an example and as she is a slow town | it ought not to be difficult for us to follow her and perhaps surpass her. H Senator Hoar recently declared himself the author of the so-called “Sherman anti-trust law,” and now comes Senator Morgan and says Edmunds was the | —utnor of it. The old fellows had better get together | and compare notes or they will get history so mixed up that future generations will never know what hap- pened or who did it. There was an unusual demand upon the Sub-Treas- ury in New York this year for new money to be used as Christmas gifts. Quite a number of requests were received for $10,000 gold certificates and the Govern- ment was happy to comply. It is needless to say the recipients had a merry Christmas. et - G .

" HE rapid succession of events in Venezucla dis- | T closes the condition to which a rich country may be brought by misgovernment. Castro’s rival, Matos, is a type of the very small class in that country who dare own property. He is re- puted to be worth $6,000000. Like the few whom he represents, he holds his wealth by a hand strong enough to resist robbery by the Government. He employs an army, equips, pays and leads it. It is said that his purpose is to establish integrity in the Gov- | ernment and make life and property safe. If this be | true he has views higher than those of his relative, | the Dictator Blanco, in whose evil example the An- | drades, Crespos and Castros have flourished. | | In Venezuela we see a modern instance of the con- | ditions out of which civilized government has slowly ! lifted the people of many nations. Wherever prop- erty is not protected it is not owned by the weak, but by the strong who can defend it. These were the feu- dal conditions. The weak became merely the retain- ers of the strong, ready for use by their masters against a predatory and dishonest government. So Venezuela has an army without patriotism and a people without property. Whatever upright purpose Matos | may have will no doubt be strengthened by the pass-| ing crisis in the fate of his country. It is surpassingly rich and in the development of its varied resources can yield wealth sufficient for all its people, to make them comfortable and sustaih-among them a high standard of life. But this can only be when life and property are the safe possession of the humblest. It/ will not suffice that the vast possessions of Matos | shall be respected by the Government, The last peso of the peon must be 2s safe as his millions. Let none take a pessimistic view of the future of | Her condition is not as low as that of Mexico when Diaz assumed control of the destiny of that republic, and now Mexico holds up her head crowned with honor and order and law in the ranks of the foremost nations. If Matos honestly set for himseli in his own country the task so well performed by Diaz in his he will have the approval, support and encouragement of the nations that have most repre- hended the excesses and crimes of his predécessors. It is said that revolution has been assisted by Great Britain in the way of supplies -and munitions. That is probable, but the act is innocuous as far as the United States is concerned. Neither Great Brit- | ain nor the Old World combined can impair the sov- ereignty or the territory of Venezuela. It is notori- ous that the revolution in Cuba against Spain would have died in its shell except for the military and other supp! sent to its leaders from this country and with the distinct purpose of ending the sovereignty of Spain over the island. If Great Britain haye winked, as we did, at assistance given by her people to overthrow the looter and debauchee Castro and h e esta Venezuela a better government that will respect life and property and not constantly imperil the peace of the hemisphere, from the standpoint of our Cuban experience Americans have no complaint. It is said that Castro insists that he is entitled to credit, on the ms of foreigners he has robbed, to the value of the warships seized by the allies. This claim He created a situation which made the blockade neccessary to bring him to his senses. His country t charge the resulting loss to him, not to those whom he compelled to inflict it. He should readily recall the incidents of the Boxer revolution in China, which compelled the Western nations to send their fleets and armies and inflict large incidental loss on China, which was not con- ! sidered as an offset for the violation of the personal and property rights of foreigners. With perhans one exception the captured warships of Venezuela are in- | tact and will probably be returned to that Govern- ment. | Americans can see in every incident of these last days of Castro the intolerable state to which he has brought his country. Misgovernment has so para- | lyzed the energics of the people that everything upon | which human society cxists has been administered by foreigners. The foreign business men domiciled there, Americans, Englishmen and Germans, are in this crisis able to hold the national currency at a dis- count of cnly 20 per cent and to restrain a run on the national bank. This foreign administration of busi- ness and finance would not be necessary nor possi- ble 1f just and honest government had made it safe for Venezuelans to operate the business of their coun- | try and themselves develop its varied and valuable | resource Americans may well be proud of the fact that the Monroe doctrine protects the soil and sovereignty of Venezuela and encourages the people to emerge’ out of the wreck of misgovernment to a strong and | honorable national life. o The Monroe doctrine made in distracted and is- | ordered Mexico a field for the regenerating genius of | Diaz. It will make a similar field in Venezuela for Matos or whoever has the strength and the honesty to ! undertake the work of rebuilding a nation. untenable 1 The Archduke Leopold Ferdinand of Austria has ! become a civilian and has been stricken from the rolls of the army and of the Knights of the Golden Fleece.

The Archduke’s birth will never redeem the notoriety of his name, MONG the notable utterances of the late Dr. have been recalled since his death is one that | ———————— OUR BIG TOBACCO BILL. A Parker, London’s famous preacher, which i has disturbed the British public a little bit by reason | of its fierce denunciation of the smoking habit. Lon- don recalls with a sigh that Spurgeon used to smoke, | and wonders why Parker could not have been tolerant ‘ to a custom with which so many distinguished clergy- men conform. The sum and substance of the doctor’s most famous declaration against Asmoking runs thus: “I hate smoking. From one end to the other it is a nuisance. It ends in cancer, apoplexy, bad temper, bankruptcy land almost in hydrophobia. It is an invention of the | devil. It is the devil. It is the pastime of perdition. No dog smokes. No bird pines of tobacco. No horse is a member of a pipe club. No intelligent personf ever puts a cigar in his mouth. The whole idea and | practice of smoking must be condemned as atheistical, ' agnostical and infinitely detestable.” The very fierceness of that utterance tends to the belief that Dr. Parker was not quite in earnest when he said it. Be that as it may, the American public will not be disturbed by it. The British may fret, but in this country where the majority rules we can vote the doctor-into a hopeless and miserable minority. Recently published statistics show that the annual consumption of smoking and chewing tobacco in this car ran away and wrecked the car. Perhaps by the | country equals very rearly four pounds per capita of end of the century New York will have no more | the total population, and the snuff consumption equals | vance a place on the Committee on Military Affairs horsecars and such sad occurrences will be unknown | one-fifth of 2 pound per capita. As we are not all \ in the metropolis | Boing to petditiog and as a fair p:tmtage of us are | |and that a “bird” neyer pines for tobacco. intelligent, it is evident that Dr. Parker’s statement was an exaggeration. It has been the prevailing opinion that we smoke far more cigarettes than cigars, but that is a mistake. | The figures for the production of the two during the | fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, show that there were | made in the United States that year upward of 6,870, 000,000 cigars, while the total manufacture of cigar- ettes was only 2,650,000, Of course, all that were made here were not consumed here, but it is a safe calbulation that the relative consumption of the two was about the same as the relative production. Contrary to common expression, all tobacco does not end in smoke. During the year the amount paid on the article in internal revenue taxes was $51,000,- 000 and the total value of manufactured tobacco, ex- | clusive of taxes, is estimated at $300,000,000. It is said by some that if we did not use tobacco we would have saved that amount of money, but on the other hand it might be said that if we did not use the weed we would not cultivate it and then we would have lost a product of that value. The question may or may not be worth consideration, but it is safe to say that those who smoke will never be induced to quit the practice by being reminded that dogs do not smoke | T { A Chicago authority says that upward of 400 of the divorces procured in that city during the last year were caused by bad cooking or untidiness, and now we may safely bet that Chicago has a number of up-to-date cooking schools and lots of fashionable dressmakers, | AMERICAN INFLUENCE. | HEN Secretary Hay issued his note of pro- test against the ill treatment of Jews by the U U Government of Roumania it was met by a burst of mockery from the press of Continental Europe. Even in this country the belief prevailed that the note was hardly of more value thasf the blast of a trumpet blown against the wind. Skeptical peo- ple asked in derision what power the United States had to enforce the protest and what our Government would do in case Roumania either ignored or. de- fied it. i The questions of the skeptics were hard to answer. | It seemed impossible to get the concert of Europe to back our leadership in the matter and it looked as if Roumania could go on her way with impunity. Of all the powers of Europe Great Britain only gave an openly favorable consideration to the note and that was because the British islands, like the United States, were being made a place of reiuge for the poverty stricken exiles from their Roumanian homes. It now appears, however, that our influence with Europe is much greater than showed on the surface, fdr, after all, sufficient pressure has been put upon the Roumanian Government to extort a promise at least of reform and a pledge to do something in the way of justice to the Jewish element of the Roumanian population. Late reports from Europe announce that the Rou- manian Senate has agreed to a law conferring citizen- ship upon Jews residing in the country. That det goes far to redress most of the wrongs complained of, for the unjust laws under which the Jews have been suffering in ‘the past are not directed against the Jews as such, but against “aliens.” So long as the Jews were denied citizenship they were treated as aliens and all the harsh laws were eniorced against them. Now that they are to be admitted to JANUARY 6, 1903 ARMY MEASURE MEETS DEFEAT IN THE HOUSE WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—The House re- sumed work to-day after a recess of two weeks, but within two hours the ma- chinery broke down for lack of a guorum. The bill to create a general staff in the army was the issue. An attempt was raade to pass it under a suspension of the rules, which requires a two-thirds major- ity. Although all the members of the minority of the Military Committee in- dorsed it, opposition developed because of the hurried® manner in which it was pro- posed to pass the bill and the division, 103 to 19, developed that it did not com- mund the support of two-thirds of those present. Hull said the measure had the unani- mous indorsement of the Military Com- mittee. In reply to a reply by Bartlett he said that the army at present was a myth. | Hay of Virginia, a member of the Mil- itary Committee, in support of the bill, detailed the chaotic condition which ex- isted during the Spanish war, owing to the conflict of authority. This condition, ke sald, could not exist under the pend- | ing bill. “1 would like to ask,” sald Steel of In- diapa, “if this bill does not practically eliminate the lieutenant general from the army? In other words, would it be pos- sible, under this bili, for the commanding general in time of war to reside out of Waskington? The lleutenant general is not chief of staff under this bill.” | Hay—He could be detailed as command- | er of the army in time of war if the Pres- | ident chose to detail him. H Steel—The President can assign any of- ficer to the command of the army now, gubject to this coterie, this petticoat army Lere in Washingtom. Hay—Do you mean the President is sub- Ject to that? Steel—That is what-I mean. Richardson of Tennessee appealed to the members to vote the measure down, so that it could come up and be considered in the regular way. Huli declared that if the bill was defeat- ed now he did not believe it could be pussed in any other way. The vote re- sulted 168 to 59, not a quorum.

Rousseau is to be: detached from the Navy Department at! citizenship it is_believed that the worst of their evil Washington and goes to Mare Island yard situation has been passed. It is to be noted, moreover, that even the aliens in the country will be better treated hereafter. In sub- mitting the reform measures to the Senate the spokes- | man for the Ministry is reported to have said: “It is inexpedient to discriminate against foreigners. The laws must be applied impartially to everybody. It must be demonstrated that Roumania is tolerant.” | While no direct information on the subject is forth- coming, it is evident that the powers that guaranteed the independence of Roumania must have been moved by the note of Secretary Hay to remonstrate with the Roumanian Government. We have thus a proof at all likely that we shall ever again hear of derision irum any responsible quarter when our Government speaks in the mame of humanity to protest against injustice in any part of the globe. Another significant illustration of our prestige as a world power is to be found in the letter of Baron d’Estourneiles, a member of The Hague court, con- gratulating President Roosevelt upon giving recogni- A . he; | tion to the court and compelling turopean POWers handed until they are sent back. to accept it as a tribunal of arbitration with Vene- | zuela. In the report of his letter which has been made public the Baron is quoted as saying: “By a silent. senile understanding the Governments thought to abandon The Hague tribunal. On the morrow of its | official creation it was about to perish through illwill, ' p1sHOP ©'CONNELL MAY when you came to protest against the attempt, which was threatening the liberties of the world. * * The initiative of the United States compared with the paralysis of Europe is a sign of the times which ! a European must have the courage to recognize, ' Honor to your Government, which has understood forward in the way of justice and progress.” i It thus appears that our Government has scored two notable triumphs in the interest of international | justice and international peace. We stand as the pro- |* tectors of the oppressed Jews of Roumania and of the | integrity of Venezuela, while at the same time assur- | ing to European claimants against Castro’s Govern- ment a full measure of remedy for all wrongs they | may have suffered at his hands. Our position as a | world power is now fully established in every quarter | of the globe and every patriot may note with satis- | faction that the power has been exercised solely for the right and for justice. A Virginia Justice of the Peace has laid down the | -rule that a man who has been called a liar has a right | to answer with a blow provided he be not a liar, and if the other man strike back he is liable to a fine. On the other hand, if the man charged with being a liar is a liar, then it is not lawful for him to strike the man who made the charge, and should he do so the party of the first part has a right to get in and lick him. Such being the law it behooves every man | to be careful to have good proof of his veracity be- fore striking. out at a fellow who gives him the lie. And now the French are complaining that' Ameri- cans have cornered the leather markets of ‘the world and raised the price of shoes in Paris; and yet it would seem that almost any Frenchman ought to be willing to pay a good price to be in our shoes.

The opinion to-day affirmed these ru.lnxa: Justice Brown said the case involved onky one question as to “whether under the laws and regulations of Russia a bouniy is allowed upon the export of sugar. which subjects such sugar upon fts im- portation into the United States to an ad- ditional duty equal to the entire amount of such bounty under the act of July 24, %" He sald that under Russia’s meth~ ©0G of protecting and fostering her sugas industry free sugar, which may be sold in Russia at the normal excise of 17 copecks per pound, may be exported under & permit from the excise office upon the return of a free sugar certificate with the k. the excise then crediting the exported quantity of sugar to the free surplus of the mill. which is subject to the double tax of L7 Discussing = the effect of this certificate, Justice Brown sa “In practice the market value of these certificates must vary accor to the heory un- deriying the transaction s always this that the exporter shall suffer no loss cause he has exported his free s stead of selling in the home mar is practically admitted in this case that a bounty equal to the value Russiz ment, and the main argument of the pe- titioner is addressed tot}(he propesition that this bounty is pald not upc portation, but upon production. swer to this is that every bounty upon production must act fo a certain extent as a bounty on exportation since it op: to the manufacturer a foreign market fc his merchandise produced in excess of the demand at home. Where regulations ex- empt sugar exported from excise taxatior altogether, we think they clearly fall within the definition of an indirect bounty upon exportation.’ INCREASED PRODUCTION OF GOLD AND SILVER Director of the Min: Issues a Prelimi- nary Estimate of the Qut- put During 1902.
