TUE MONROE

The seizure Of a portion of the territory
Of the Venezuelan republic by the British
government has somewhat the aspect OF {
violation OF the Monroe doctrine to which
the United States has uniformly held
almost since the formation Of the union.
This controversy is not a new one.
Nearly fifty years ago Great Britain
soi2ed a portion of Venezuela and from
time to time that power invaded Ncnc-
zuelan territory. The region in dispute
lies beyond British Guinea and is rich in
gold mines. The government Of Nenc
zuela last year granted the right to "A com.
pany TO build IA railroad to the goidmine,
The route was through British Guinea
The English government refused permits.
sion to the company 10 cross British ter
ritory. That government has now under.
aiken to construct a railway TO the
Venezuelan mines and in furthcrancc Of
this project has seized that portion Of
V~ene2uela's possessions. OF course the
object is to get control of the gold
egion.
A few months ago Venezuela proposed
that the whole subject should be submit
ted to the United States for arbitration,
but England took no notice of the propo-
sition. 1t is probable that Venezuela will
ask the United States TO intcrposc on the
ground that England's course is in viola.
ton of the Monroe doctrine. Whcthcr
this country would so consider it and
take any steps to protect Venezuela is
doubtful, The subject does not concern
this country very greatly. A resolution,
protesting against British aggression,
passed by congress would very likely be
the extent of any action by this govern.
uent in he matter.
1t would be expedicnt for the south
American Republics to form a protective
league. This country will not surrender
she Monroe doctrine. 1t would be dan
geroUs to our institutions To permit any
European government 10 get a footEold
in n~eighboring~ Republics.

THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

The congressional committee lnvestl'
eating the Reading strike examined the
manager of the Reading Coal and Iron
company. In reply TO a question as 70
the management of the company CON
Germs and its effect upon the public inter
ests. the answer was; The public inter
ests are not considered" To prevent
~sverproduction, it was explained that
each month the amount OF consumption
is carefully ascertained, or approxima'ed.
and the output limited TO the amount
onsumcd. Each coal mining corporation
is allotted the privilege Of furnishing {
certain per cent, OF the whole. The iteao
ing Coal company supplies, on an aver
age, 90 per cent. or onc-hith oil the Goa
consumed. The eXtOrtionate price }
easily maintained, because there IS al
ways nm enforced undcrproductlon. An
thracite coal in the United States is founo
in only six counties in Pennsylvania, and
the government practically excludes an
thracite coal by a tariff of IS cents pei
ton on the Nova Scotia product.
Overproduction, as defined by the Goa
'barons, is an indefinite term. If a supply
Of coal sufficient for three months con
SUMPTION were mined in one month, they
would insist that that was overproductlon
If the price is high the consumption vii
not go beyond a certain amount for tn
greatest economy will be practised by tn
consumer. If the price is low the con
sumption will be large. 1t is to the al
vantage of the country that all product
Of necessity and comfort be abundant an
cheap.

Surely not from the slums2 No, the
case is not quite that bad. sometimes
think that New York considers life in the
metropolis as a perfected sort of existence,
and that the rest Of this country is a
nursery in which men and women are
prepared for graduation to the higher
sphere of Manhattan island. This might
explain the treatment given New York
children. For instance, Daniel Dough
erty was just as eloquent in Philadelphia
as be was in New York
But he comes to New York and the ink
upon his papers Of adoption is rot yet dry
when he is introduced TO the national as
semhlage of his party as son of the empire
state, and as such is honored beyond any
man in the delegation of which he is q
member So with insersol and the pic
turesque Ochiltree. They are now New

of life. Look in the art of journalism
Pulitzer, Cockerill. John Russell Young,

prominent New York newspaper writer
who is to the manner born and he comes

York takes the children of other localities
to her bosom and makes them her own
and shines IN the luster OF their acts
And that is where New York is smart

The Mines e. lzexico.

The mining country of the future is
Old Mexico. Net because OF the richness
of the ores there, but because Of the
eheapness of taking it out An SO ore
can be handled il that country as profit
ably as $50 orc in this country The
Mexicans are the most expert miners in
the world. and they live cheap and work
for correspondingly low wages have
little confidence in the OLD mining proper
ties of that country because the Mexicans
know how to mine, There was an effort
made a few months ago to spread the i'm
preston that there were numerous very
rich old mines in Mexico that were aban-
doned decades ago. There are a few in
stances where mine was abandoned in
that country because the water came
into it too fast for the bucket brigade Of
those times. but such cases are rare The
great majority of the abandoned mines
were worked out before they were aban-
doned- But there is an Immense amount
Of low grade ore in Mexico that has not
been touched. and great deal Of it can
be worked profitsbiy which in this csun-
try could not be taken out at all There is
enough OF it, at least, to supply the
world with metal for few years. and
most Of the worlds supply will come
FROM there.-A. ". Clifford in Globe: Dem

Sinking Piles in Sand.

The use of the water jet for sinking
piles. particularly in sand, is interesting.
A tube, generally Of ordinary gas pipe,
open at the lower end. is fastened to the
pile; the upper end is connected by hose
to powerful pump. and. the pile being
placed in position on the surface of the
sand. water is forced through the tube
and excavates a passage for the pile,
which. by the application Of very light
pressure. descends rapidly to the desired
depth The stream of water must be
continuous, as it rises along the side of
the pile and keeps the sand in mobile
state. Immediately upon the cessation
of pumping the sand settles about the
pile. and it Is sometimes quite impossible
to afterward move it. The water jet is
used in sinking iron piles by conducting
the water through the interior Of the hol-
