We recognize the responsibility of Castro for the position in which his country is placed, and accept whatever our adherence to the Monroe doctrine im- plies. The situation, diplomatically, has been one of great delicacy and difficulty for us, but the President and Secretary Hay have met it frankly and positively. Their attitude has led it toward a sane and peaceable | | settlement, through which the nationals despoiled by Venezuela will get their just indemnity, and great in- | ternal benefit will follow to the people of that dis- tressed and distractad country. Through the calm and courageous action of our Government, the whole matter is in an adjustment to which Great Britain assented, and to which Germany was com- gree. But no matter what sentiment was back of her agreement, she agreed, and every consid- cheeriu pelled to | eration cf national honor dictates that she abide by | | that agreement. In this status, with Minister Bowen absent from his post and en route to Washington to act for Venezuela, | by assent of the concerted powers, for Germany to | ar by firing on a Venezuelan fort- | | commit aa act of w can be characterized as nothing less than an act wanton and willful aggression that could have no other purpose than the prevention of a peaceable and hororable settlement.

No other Con- the in nental nation is interested in enlarging the foothold the empire anywhere beyond the seas. So, the act of Germany is empirical. It is experimental.

The probability of this is seen in the aration made by the Government in the German Parliament at the inception of the Venezuela matter, that the Kaiser accepted and proposed to respect the So it may be anticipated that our Government’s note on the subject of this last incident will bring a reply to the effect that no challenge was Germany is then likely o receive the in- dec Monroe doctrine. intended. formation that the President of the United States con- | strues both words and acts, and that acts construable into defiance of the Monroe doctrine will hereaiter re- ceive our attention. e s e Lieutenant Governor Tillman, the cowardly as in of Gonzales, are loading his cell with' fragrant flowers.

EPORTS from London concerning the increas- R ing distress of the unemployed in all parts of the kingdom are a striking illustration of how narrow, for millions of people in that country, is the margin between prosperity and distress. It is only a short time ago that the British press was exulting in the favorable conditions of the working classes, and now already a few months of relaxed industrial activ- ity is followed by the revelation of widespread distress not only in the capital and the larger cities, but in the rural districts as well. Last year the chief register of Friendly Societics | submitted a report on the working of the societies for the year 1899. The figures were somewhat late in publication, but it appears they could not be collected | in their entirety at an earlier date. They were so grat- | ifying to the public, however, that they were every- | where received with that welcome which goes out to | anything whose coming is better late than never. In | fact, they made a showing of thrift of which the work- | ingmen of any country might be proud. The compilation of the chief register shows that during their good times the wage earners, whose sav- | ings came within the scope of the investigation, had | accumulated the sum of" £339,837,703. That sum, | which is half as large as the whole national debt. of | Great Britain, does not represent the total savings of | the British working classes, but only the sums in- vested in a certain manner. A table showing the funds in which the savings are invested and also the number of persons owning them is thus given by the | chief register: No. of Members. Funds. Building socioties . £60.776,508 Friendly societies . 39,487,619 Co-operative Socleties 35,009,370 Trades unions. 7 3,515,007 | Workmen's compensation schemes. 20,585 Friends of 1abor loan societies 250,909 Railway savings banks 4,654,112 Trustee saviios bunks 57,196,453 Postoffice Savirgs Bank .. 138,818,175 Totals .... ---25,363.200 £339,837,702 It will be noted that the number of persons owning the various savings is given at 25,363,209. That, how- ever, can hardly be an accurate computation of the number of individuals, for it is of course quite likely immmmmmu:mmda many secured the concert of Great Britain for ulterior | tration in securing the justice to | 3 ge us to sustain the !

Still, the total number of thrifty ones must be quite large, for it was recently stated in Parliament that over seven-eighths of the deposits in the Postoffice { Savings Bank belong to depositors who have less than | £50 to their individual credit. | That is the showing of thriit made only a short time l ago, and now we learn that the unemployed are parad- |ing in London, that they are crowding into the cities | from the cpuntry, that the demands for relief are| greater than the governmental authorities can meet with the funds at their command, and that private | charity is strained to meet the emergency. Of course, it is not the thrifty ones who are in dis- | tress, and the contrast is therefore interesting as a tevelation of how close a large number of British | wage workers are to destitution at all times. They | earn enough in seasons of prosperity to live on, but | not enough to save; and when the factory closes, or they are dismissed for any other cause, they pass at | once to the streets or the poorhouse. 2 Little Dog, Curly Bear, Mountain Sheep, Young IBear, Two Horns and White Grass, Indians of the Blackfoot reservation, have petitioned the Federal | thing, Uncle Sam can settle this problem quickly by | turning them loose upcn one another.

They call for a dis- | continuance of the coinage of silver dollars, the coin- | age of silver bullion and the recoinage of silver dollars into subsidiary silver, the maintenance at all times of | the outstanding silver dollars at a parity with gold; | the deposit in national banks of all Government re- ceipts in excess of the reserves needed as a working | balance in the National Treasury, and amendment !o“ the national bank act so that banks may issue notes as | adequately secured as the national bank notes are un- | der the present laws, and whose volume shall auto-| matically expand with an increased demand for cur- | rency and contract when that demand has ceased. The cail for an elastic currency whose volume shall automatically expand upon the demands of trade is; | one that may be indorsed by the whole country. The !hsue affects the West and the South even more than the great money centers of the country, and concerns | ! the farmer as vitally as the banker. Mr. Roberts, Director of the Mint, has pointed out how the present law recently interfered with the farm- ers of the cattle-raising States, and said: “In the cen- ters of population meats were scarce and high; the| farmers had the beef material going to waste; they | were anxious to buy cattle for the Western ranges, | | and they had ample security to offer for money, but | the banks of that region were not able properly to | supply the demand. They loaned what they could of | local deposits, and they borrowed some in the ‘East, but New York has not been in condition to render | aid. Tt nas had troubles of its own, and no rcsources! to spare on the scattered prairie farmers whose food- | making material has been wasting. If the banks of | that region had been able to take the notes of good farmers, whose responsibility was known, and to give | their own notes in exchange, the community would | have been tided over the stress, its wasting wealth | | saved, and when the cattle were ready for market the | | normal trade equilibrium between that region and the | rest of the country would have been restored and the bank notes would have retired naturally. The com- { munity naturally would have floated over the rapids. | trade would have been less interiered with, and the resources of the country would have been fully util- ized” That is a plain statement of a specific instance of harm done by the lack of a proper currency system. Similar evils might be noted of every community in 1‘lhc country, for it is not cattle-raisers only whose | ! energies are hampered from time to time by lack of | bank accommodations. The issue rests with Con- gress, but Congress is slow to move, and it is there- | fore gratifying that the National Board of Trade has so strongly urged action at once. | | The way in which time is killed in the Senate is il- lustrated by a speech of Senator Nelson of Minnesota which extended over three weeks, Of course, he was He managed, however, to get the floor five times during the three weeks, and on each occasion he added a new installment to the original oration, so that it ran along like a continued story; and there may be a sequel to it before the ses- sion ends. z Governor Garvin of Rhode Island is having a vocif- erous but not a halcyon time. He is a Democrat, but the Senate is of the rockribbed Republican order, and about as fast as the Governdr can send in appoint- ments tg office the Senate drops them in the waste- basket. "It is believed that both sides are making cap- ital for the next election, and in the meantime little Rhodie is swelling up like a teapot with a tempest in- side. New York assessors are marking up real estate this year in a way that promises to make the figures over- top the skyscrapers.

The people of the Hawallan Islands object to this pro- vislon for several reasons, principal among which is the fact that the disease seems to be dying out in the islands, and the introduction of additional cases will orly serve to keep alive this terrible mal- ady. Another recommendation of the commit- tee which Smith is delegated to oppose Is that Congress pass a law making the land laws of the continent applicable in these islands. The Hawaiians, and a vast majority of the residents of the islands, are oppused to the proposed law for the reason that conditions here are not such as to warrant the application of American land laws, the amount of arable land be- ing extremely limited. | tees of the corps have the reception In will be choice music by an orchestra and dancing.
