An Astonishing Result.
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
The nj pig MAROON that the cause
of woman's ssueffrage is gaining
ground in thi couentry will be seri-
ously modified by the result of the
recent election in Massachusetts at
which that question was passed
upon. The overwhelming, defeat OF
the idea is more fully demonstrated
by the official returns of the election.
There were SIS 900 women lin the
State entitled to register and vote
upon the suffrage question, andsyet
the returns show that only 23,06S
women went to the polls, and. of
these many voted against, the
amendment
There were forty-seven towns in
which not woman cast vote and
in one hundred and thirty-eight
towns the woman vote averaged
only fifteen.
The suffrage amendment did not
receive majority in a single county
or district in the State.
Only 3 per cent. of the women in
Massachusetts cared to vote on the
question.

A TERRIBLE END.
Strong Drink Caused a Young Man to
Commit Suicide

Strong Drink Caused q Young Man to
Commit Suicide.
From the Leaksville Gazette
A young man committed suicide in
Washington City few days ago, and
the brief note he left contains one of
the most impressive temperance lect-
ures that we have ever read. Dated
December 9Th, it is as follows:
This Is the true story of an unfort-
unate boy who is now about to face
his Maker, and realizes the Importance
of the step. Not long ago 1 was in
good circumstances, circumstances
comparatively good, and was holding
a good position, and / had future to
look forward to. l contracted the
evil habit Of drink, and my good chan
ces were swept away. What money I
mad saved soon went too. Then nv
friends and afterwards my relatives.
discarded me. Everybody turned me
gown, and am uow physical and
financial wreck. Drink has made me
hopeless vagrant. But for the habit
or drink would not have been lost for
ever, as am DOW. Life has become
unbearable"
Has not the Gazette young reader
VINO will remember the warning these
bitter words contain when the temp.
tatlons of the holidays grow strong?
However sparkling the convivial bowl
may appear, sure ruin lies concealed
beneath it's deceptive surface.

Our Trade With England.

The trade relations between the
United States and England are
closer than those of any other two
countries in the world. In an aver
age year England buys about as
much of our exported commodities
as all the other countries of the
world combined. While we are thus
dependent on British consumption
for a market, without which the
agricultural producers of the West
and South and all Eastern business
supplied by them would be bank.
rupted, England is even more de-
pendent on US. Our raw cotton and
food products are it's life. If they
were cut Off English workmen would
be thrown out of employ nent by the
hundred thousand and every Eng
lish city would be filled with starving
and desperate men bent on discuss
ing foreign and domestic affairs with
Lord Salisbury. 1t is not with Eng
land merely question of market
for her exports, for with the Ameri-
can supply of food stopped she could
not feed her population. Even if her
mills could continue to run without
our cotton, the loss of American
food would mean famine.

CONTEMPT OF.COURT.

The Court of Appeals of New York
has decided 'that the power OF
punishment for contempt of court
extends only to. acts committed in
the presence of the court itself or to
disobedience of the injunctions or
orders of the court beyond it's pres
ence.'
We agree with the Charlotte OBJ
server in commencing "this decision
to some of the gentlemen who have
lately been elevated to the bench in
North Carolina"
The Observer remarks, further:
Gin one case in this State a iudg-
ment for contempt has been entered
against newspaper for a respectful
criticism of the court on account of
the removal of a case from one
county to another, and in another
case an editor has been threatened
with contempt proceedings for COM
hitting the very slightest inaccuracy
in his report of the disposition of a
case. In neither case was the legal
ty of the proceeding or the integrity
OF the Judge called into question. II
the proceeding in either case should
pass into a precedent the voice of
the press as to any action of a court
would be silenced and there would be
nothing between the people and
judicial tyranny"
Then it might be a dangerous
thing for newspaper to criticise a
Judge who would stuff cotton in his
ears to shut out the earnest plead
ings of a Kope Elias, Or who would
leave the Court without head to
step out and smoke his pipe.
The thing might run to seed, too,
and it might lie made a case of con-
tempt if the papers should say any
thing about a Solicitor if he should
get drunk while on duty. or if he
should be indicted for gambling, or
for breaking any other law of the
State.
Give us clear-headed, impartial and
conscientious Judges, and clean
handed, upright and law abiding
Solicitors, but don't muzzle the
press SO it cannot speak out if some
curious turn in political affairs
should happen to infiict us with the
other sort.

THE PLAN OF RELIEF.
The Programme Which the Repub-
lican Leaders May Provide.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The fol,
lowing is stated on the best authors
ty to be the plan of relief which will
be discussed by the ways and means
committee during the Christmas re-
cess, which it is confidently expected
will be entered upon on Monday:
The programme which the Res
publican leaders of the House have
now tentatively in mind is to tenn
porarily provide from $50, 900, 900 to
$40, 900, 900 more revenue by some
brief amendments of the tariff-not
involving general tariff revision
these amendments to expire at the
end of thirty months; to give the
Secretary of the Treasury authority
to issue per cent. as popular
loan to maintain the coin redemp-
ton fund, and for no other purpose,
with provision that the redeemed
greenbacks shall not be used to meet
current expenses, but be retained so
long as necessary as part of the re-
demption fund: to authorize nations
al banks to issue circulating notes
to the par of the bonds deposited as
security, and to reduce the tax on
national bank circulation; and to au-
thorize the issue of certificates of
Indebtedness to meet a temporary
deficiency of the revenue until the
revenue can be provided.

ADVERSE VIEWS.
Some Think the President Has Made
a Great Mistake

Some Think the President Has Made
a Great Mistake.
Abraham g. Hewitt.
There is nothing whatever in the
Monroe doctrine, as originally pro-
mulgateG, which requires the United
States to interfere in any way in the
dispute between Venezuela and Great
Britain at this time. The idea that
we have any interest to protect
which would warrant interference, is
foreciosed by the Presidents admis-
| sion that if Venezuela should choose
to concede the disputed territory to
Great Britain we should have no
grievance.
New York Journal of Commerce.
Mr.. Cleveland has made most
serious mistake. His policy in this
matter is not only precipitate and
uhtimely, it is madness itself. He
I has out jingoed the jingoes, and from
being the embodiment of sober
Judgment he has become the hasty
abettor of a political tanaticism. In
thus Inviting war he has not shown
the discretion of providing a way of
| escape from that alternative. He
would send bis own commission to
| investigate the merits of the bound
airy claims; such meagre Information
as could be obtained would come
from the Venezuelans, while the
British side would be unrepresented;
| and the commissions verdict would
| consequently be such as to lead to
threatened election of England from
the country claimed by Venezuela.
The people will wait with profound
anxiety to know whether Congress
will sanction the Presidents recon.
mendations. 1t is hardly necessary
to consider what England may do
under the circumstances. 1t is very
unlikely that she would yield, and
she can therefore only await the
development of our action.
New York Post.
Their Republican jipgoes] sur
prise is great, now that they find him
the President the jiugo in chief of
The whole pack. We confess that
our surprise is equal to theirs, and
our sorrow is probably greater. We
are grieved and shocked that any
body holding the high office of Presi-
dent of the United States could play
with the mighty issues of peace and
war as political game We can see
nothing else in it. The boundary
line of Little Venice" is too trivial
The argument based upon the Mon
roe doctrine ia too far-fetched. The
consequences OF war, on the other
hand, are too monstrous Its effect
upon the national character is too
appalling, and upon business inter-
ests too disastrous and far-reaching.
deserving men will be made bank
rupt by what has already happened.
The national finances, already in a
perilous state, will be shaken as they
have not been since the civil war.
Mr. Cleveland has frustrated his own
wise attempts to adjust them on a
sound basis. He can get no gold
from Europe to fight England with.
If he can get any at home, it will be
only in response to patriotic feeling
and from men who will curse the
necessity of supplying it.

THE RUMPUs.
About Territory Stolen by the British
from Venezuela


from Venezuela
Atlanta Constitution.
The British are entitled to Just SO
much territory in Guiana as Holland
bad clear title to when she coded
that country to Great Britain in
1914.
Holland claimed that her bound
airy liue between Guiana and Vene-
zuela was the Essequibo river, but
when the british succeeded to her
title they claimed that the Essequibo
river meant the entire watershed
draining into it. They then pushed
their possessions westward. In the
course of time they passed beyond
the watershed, which did not extend
beyond the Maroco river.
In 1871 the Schomburgk line was
run, extending to the mouth of the
Orinoco. Venezuela vigorously op-
posed this boundary, and in 1914
Lord Aberdeen. the British premier.
gave up the Schomburgk line and
proposed a compromise. But the
controversy remained unsettled and
in 1881 Lord Granville proposed a
new line.
With the discovery of gold fields
west of the Schomburgk line the
British pushed forward and claimed
still more territory. All the time
this robbery was going on, from
1914 down to the present q ",
Venezuela has protested She has
urged Great Britain to ar;,itrate.
but the ipvariable reply O. fh4
British has been: "Ther,e is notliios
to arbitrate."
Recently the United States has
endeavored to persuade Great
Britain to agree tn arts rate, but
without avail. and it il now proha
BILE that congress will 'ak4 the IN IT. r
in hand and put England upon
notice that she must either save her
claims tested before some Impartial
tribunal or give up all of the Vene
zuelan territory which she has seized
since 1S41.
The frequent changes which the
British have made in their boundary
line show that it is their purpose to
seize and hold as much OF Venezuela's
productive territory as they can

In olden times the plum porridge

the dinner, occupying the soup

were ever popular. In shape they
are often slightly oval as well as
round, and our grandmothers tell us
this oval shape was to resemble and
remind us OF Christ's cradle. In
England it is still very popular
and enjoyable custom to offer a
mince pie to every caller, for every

all ground for doubling has been
removed by bis special message to

DIR. Greasy at the Y. Nj. @. A.

The association hall was crowded to
overfiOwing Sunday afternoon to
hear Rev. DR.. w. S. Greasy, who took
for his subject Mat. 1925: "For
What is Man Profited, if he Shall
Gain the Whole Wolrd and Lose His
Own Soul? Or What Shall Man
Gain in Exchange for his Soul?"
The address was an excellent one,
and showed clearly that our souls are
worth more than the whole world
would be, to us, if we could gain it.
We would be the loser il we were to
exchange our soul for the world. Near
~ every one present seemed to be
touched by the earnest words of the
speaker
