The Words Of veteran statesman.

EX- Senator Edmunds gave IN ad-
dress before the Union League club @
Philadelphia Saturday night on in
tcrnational Relations in Central and
South America" with a history of the
Monroe doctrine and the duties and
obligations il lays on this country. lie
urged American control OF the Mica
ragua canal and with reference to the
Veney uelan question he called atten
tion to the way British claims in Hon
duras had grown from almost nothing
to 100000 square miles. In British
Guiana, in 1851, the British claims in
cluded only a few towns, with M
boundary at all given on the border
toward Venezuela, In 1870 this small
claim had grown to 10000 square
miles, and in 1892 to 100000 square
miles And he added;
That is British expansion but hope
and believe that the president and bis
secretary of state will not let Venezu
ella be squeezed out of the mouth o.
the Orinoco. hope the president vii
see that all our southern neighbors arc
protected in their just rights.
In this connection and also in rela
ton to the Cuban question, he paid
compliment to President Cleveland,
saving that no president had ever been
found lacking in patriotism in looking
after our relations with foreign coun'
tries, and, Republican though nc was,
he could heartily say that of both OF
Mr.. Cleveland's administrations, as
would no doubt be demonstrated to all,
when all the facts came out.
This is in close line with the utter
ance of the other greatest living states
man of the Republican party, John
Sherman who in the last paragraph Of
his recent book of "Recollections"
says:
1 hope that our people will be con,
tent with internal growth, and avoid
the complications of foreign acquisi
tions. Our family of states is already
large enough to create embarrassment
in the senate, and republic should
not hold dependent provinces or pos,
sessions. Every new acquisition Will
create embarrassments. Canada and
Mexico as independent republics will
be more valuable to the United States
than if carved into additional states.
The Union already embraces discord-
ant elements enough without adding
Others. If my life is prolonged ! vii,
do all ] can to add to the strength and
prosperity of the United States, but
nothing to extend its limits or to add
new dangers by acquisition of foreign
territory.
This is all in agreeable contrast with
the cheap iingoism of Lodge, Chandler
& Co., and as emphatic condemns
ton as could be penned OF the
Hawaiian annexation scheme.
These men, both beyond the heat
and temptation of party strife and am
bition, voice what ought to be the
sentiment of all thoughtful Amcri
cans. And it is a pity that their
voice is not the voice of the present
Republican party.

The latest phase of the ever kaleid-
escopic situation in the far east is that
Russia and Japan have reached an I'M
derstanding and the latter is to be al
-lowedIto extend her empire through the
acquisition of,Ethe southerly insular
groups like the PHILIPPINES, Borneo,
Celebcs and Sumatra, in return for
Welding to Russian grabs of what
Chinese territory she wants. If such
an agreement has been reached it is
shrewd checkmate for England which
has always regadred these islands as
nredestined to fall into her hands, and
the occupation by weak powers IKE
Spain and Holland only to be tolerat-
ed for the time being.

Boston has liquor saloon to each

Senator Edmunds, says last week s
election is a." verdict against bossism'
a triumph of real democracy. re
adds
l do not think that the foreign
policy of the government will be the
principal issue in the presidential
campaign. for it seems to me that the
administration foreign policy will be
for the preservation of national honor,
national integrity and national duty
in such form that no party. question
can be made of it. -

Chicago is the first place IN this
country to give a trial to the Torrens
land transfer system, for the register
ing and guaranteeing of titles to real
estate. The city and county voted last
week. 1919 to 1854, to accept this
Australian plan which there is every
reason to believe will work as well
practically as the Australian ballot
does. The experience for many years
in Australia with the Torrens system
has shown that it is possible to give
at a sale title of land just as clear
and unqualified as it is to give good
title at the transfer of railroad share
or a government bond, and. what is
more, these real estate titles can be
thus established and transfers of own
ership made with no more trouble and
expense than if the transfer related
to personal property. The small regis
tration fee required for the purpose OF
insurance against losses on account of
the guarantee has proved far more
than sufficient and is to be reduced.

when asked this question, said: Every

or more; therefore all those whose

to each concert would be entitled to one

DEATH OF JOSEPH MERRIMAN.

A Highly Respected Citizen OF East Hart
ford-Had Held Many Prominent Po-
sitions.
Hartford, Sept, 9.-Joseph Merriman,
who died in East Hartford last Satur-
day evening, was one of the oldest and
most widely known citizens Of the town
as well as one of the most highly es-
teemed and weaIthiest. He was nearly
eighIty-two years of age at the time of
his death. His father was engaged in
the West Indian trade, and was lost at
sea on the way home from British Gui-
ana. When Joseph Merriman began to
work he received $25 yearly and found"
as clerk In store. He finally purchas-
ed his employers stock and notes, and
remained in business for over thirty
nine years. He was a member of the
first board of directors of the Phoenix
Insurance company and in 1859 was cho-
sen president of the bridge company.
He was also a director OF the Aetna Ma
tional bank.
MrMerriman was republican in pol
itics, beginning his political career for
ty years ago. He took an active part
in the Fremont campaign in 1856, and In
1857 was elected a member of the house
of representatives from East Hartford
