The Key Fitted UnexpectedIy.

The narration CT several experiences Of
travel, says the New York Tribune, led
one Of the Americans in the smoking room
OF the steamer 70 tell this story.
There is IN Hanover, as some of you
know, he began, "a beautiful garden,
herrenhausen, on which the kings OF
Hanover, when there were kings of Han

years go l visited Herrenhausen with my
wife and children and some persons whose
acquaintance we had made on the steam

we al leit IN the highest spirits. II hap

The impression IS getting abroad that
the Venezuelan boundary commission is
going TO have a much more difficult task
than il was at first thought it would. There
Is no need fo- the commission 10 so 10 Ven
ezuela- and the probability is that il viii
not so there. II can discharge the duty
required Of il just as well in Washington
as in Venezuela. The idea that the COM
mission is expected 10 make q survey Of
the disputed territory. OF to trace out
boundary lines by tramp.ng over the
country, is simply preDosterous. What it
win attempt TO do viii be to determine
the boundary from documents and histo-
ricaI data.
And it viii not be so easy TO settle the
boundary even 20 our own satisfaction. As
matter Of fact the boundary has never
been clearly defined. Venezuela claims all
the territory that Spain possessed when
she rebelled against Spanish authority in
Isle. Years Of war followed. and it was
not until 1871 that she triumphed over
Spain and il was not until 1915 that Spain
recognized her independence.
England gets her claim to Britain Gui-
ana from Holland. Just what territory
Holland possessed is not definitely known
probably, and to get an approximate idea
Of the extent of her claim, when she ceded
it TO England in 1914. a thorough search
Of musty old records supposed to be suH
in the possession of Holland will have to
be made.
It is probable that the basis of Great
Britains claim to the territory in dispute
is that she is entitled to all territory which
she has settled, the ownership of which
was not decided before it was settled. and
which has not been decided adverse to
her since. It is assorted there are excellent
presidents for a claim of this sort.
It viii be some time before the commits
sion win get in working shape after it is
appointed, and it will be months before it
will be ready to make report, particu-
larry if it has to go to Madrid and the
Hague to make search Of records.
That Venezuela has satisfactory docu-
mentary evidence to support her claim is
denied. Her claim is what Spain possess
ed and just what Spain possessed she
doesn't know with certainty.
The fact that England has never until
recently insisted upon the Schomburgk
line indicates pretty clearly that she is
not prepared to go before tribunal Of
arbitration to sustain either that bound
airy or any other in the disputed territory.
Therefore we say that our commission
win have a difficult task to determine the
true boundary line.

Mr. Chauncy NJ. Depew. the versatile
president Of the New York Central rail-
road and one Of the leaders of the repub-
lican party. wouldn't be happy If he were
shut out of the newspapers. And
the newspapers don't want to shut him
out. They want to hear from him as
often as possible, he is so entertaining.
Whatever he says on any subject is GER
tain to be read, though he talks so much
that his influence is not what it would be
if he appeared in the public prints less
frequently.
He has talked much about the Venezuela
message and the Presidents purpose in
writing it. He doesn't say that he be-
lieves the Presidents purpose was to
make himself the presidential candidate
Of his party. but what he does say leads
to the conclusion that he believes the mes
sage was written from political motive
rather than a patriotic one.
The day the message was published Mr..
Depew was quoted as saying that it voiced
the sentiment of the American people,
that Mr.. Cleveland was a man of destiny
and it seemed as if providence was lend
ing him helping hand by making oppor-
tunities for him to keep himself strong in
the affections of the people. Since then
Mr.. Depew's tone has changed somewhat
in speaking of Mr. Cleveland. In the
New York Sun of Monday he spoke of
Mr.. Cleveland as a great politician. who
had made it necessary for his party TO
take him for it's presidential candidate.
In discussing Mr.. Cleveland and his mes
sage, he said: mo politics in that mes
sagei Why it was a masterstroke of
politics, and Mr.. Cleveland must now be
considered the great politician of the
century. He not only made his renomina-
ton a certainty, but he changed the result
of the next national election from GER
tainty to a doubt. The republicans. before
| Cleveland jumped over a line fence down
in South America, were sure of electing
their President and Vice President. All
they had to do was to go before the coun-
try on the industrial issue and certain
victory would hgve followed. Now there
! is some doubt about it,"
Does not Mr. Depew do Mr. Cleveland
great injustice? What evidence is there
| that Mr.. Cleveland wants a third term,
or that he would accept a denomination if
it were offered to him? There is none. 1t
4 is true that the Venezuela message has
greatly increased Mr.. Cleveland's popular
/ ity.l but we believe it is unjust to him to
| insinuate that ne wrote it with the view
/ of making himself a third term candidate
4 or of increasing the chances of his party
4 for winning the national election next
/ year. He thought II was time that the
I Venezuela boundary question was settled,
and he took the opportunity that was
/ afforded to make such a presentation OF
/ It as would hasten its settlement. other

In 1861 Great Britain imported 6519 per
cent. Of her raw cotton from the United
States. In 1870 her cotton imports from
this country were 50. IS per cent. in 1880
they we're 1918 per cent; in 1890 they
were 73.1 per cent. and in 1894 they were
77.91 per cent. The other cotton growing
sections of the world are not in a posi-
ton to. supply the deficiency that would
be created if the cotton supply of this
country were to be cut off by war. A
horizontal reduction of the cotton sup
ply would mean starvation to thousands
of employees in the English mills.

The prompt passage by the Senate Of
Senator Hills bill TO repeal the statute
which prohibits ex-confederate officers
who had previously been commissioned
officers in the United States army or
navy from holding positions in the army
or navy will be received with satisfaction
in the south. Those to whom the bill ap-
plies would hardly take part in any war
in which the United States might engage,
because they are now too old for active
service-at least. the great majority of
them are. Still, the action of the Senate.
providing for the removal of their dis
ability is none the less appreciated.
