THE DIPLOMATIC WAR.
STEWARDS FORESIGHT SILVER
SENATOR PREDICTED THE PRESENT

STEWARDS FOREs1GHT.-THE SILVER
SENATOR PREDICTED THE PRESENT
CONTROVERSY.
Special to the Dispa tch.
Washington, Dec Ex-senator Stew
art. of Nevada, and Senator Davis, OF
Minnesota, rode up to the capitol in
the same street car today. "Davis,"
said the Nevada senator, there is one
thing England cannot do, even if we
go to war. She cannot kill as many
men with guns as she starves men.
women and children on the single gold
standard. / predicted this diplomatic
war on Nov. 7, last. 1t is Intended
only to divert attention from the
financial issue"
Senator Stewart then produced a
copy OF the Silver Knight" Of Nov. I,
in which cartoon appears applicable
to the present situation.
Senator Kyle, who was present said,
stewart, you are not the son of
prophet, but you are prophet him
self"
And here Is another item:
"The fact is,' said Allen W. Clark,
chairman of the Indiana Silver League
there's not much danger OF Lom bard
street permitting any war with the
United States, while our gold and
bonds are going across the water at
their present rate"
And here is another:
New Haven, Conn.,, Dec. 1S.-Prof.
Theodore S. Woolsey. who holds the
chair Of international law in the Yale
law school, speaking today of the
Presidents message on the Venezuela
dispute, said:
1.-The President has been i'll advised.
When he says that the dispute be-
tween Great Britain and Venezuela is
dangerous to our national safety he
says that which everybody knows to
be ridiculous. The President en-
phasizes unduly single phrase of the
Monroe doctrine without taking into
account the special circumstances
which the Monroe doctrine was in
tended to meet. In the whole matter
the Monroe doctrine should be kept
out Of sight as inapplica BILE, and the
question should be argued on grounds
Of national policy. The President
finds his offer OF arbitration declined.
He now announces himself as a medi-
ator. But the mediator known to IT.
ternational Law must be accepted by
both parties. who are also both free to
reject his decision. In this casa neith-
or party made the President media
tor. and he announces his intention to
enforce decision. He is, there fore,
not mediator, but dictator. Com
pulsory meditation in this case is as
much out Of place as would have been
a similar proposition in our North
west and Northeast boundary dis
putes.''
And here is another from the Post
Of Berlin:
We must not forget that presiden-
tial election campaign is near, and in
America the means reSCrtcd to on
such occasions cannot be too drastic.

Into Rat-Hoie, With His Presidential
Boom Under Hio Arm,

The resolution OF M. Ps.fe-, directing
the interstate commerce commission 10
inquire into the recent tTafIie agrae1re.lt
between various railway lsnas, was agreed
to.
The resolution Of Mr Allen {Fo2., Neb.)
for coinage Of silver to meet the exigen-
cies OF war came over from yesterday
and Mr.. Allen addressed himself to it in
facetious Vein. TIe read. With running
comments, Mr. Chambers bill 10 increase
the armament Of the United States" He
referred also to the belligerancy OF the
bills presented by Mr.. Hale (Rep.. Mc.) 10
increase the navy, and Mr.. Davis (Rep..
Minn.) inquiring as 10 British aggression
in Alaska. The Monroe doctrine was put
forward by the president as though it had
never been heard OF before. In the judS-
ment of Mr.. Allen. the president recog-
nized that having lost the confidence OF
the American people, It was desirable to
adopt this means to restore to some ex-
tent the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie. Ee urged as a measure Of financial
safety the free coinage of gold and silver
on equal terms be considered by the
finance committee.
Mr.. Platt (Rep., Comm moved the refer
ence of the resolution to the finance COM
nittee. The motion was defeated, the de-
tailed vote being as follows:
Yeas-Allison, Brice Burrows, Caffery,
Cameron, Chandler. Gallinger, German,
Hale, Hawley, Lodge. Mcmillan, Martin,

The resolution was then agreed to with
out division. Mr.. Platt sought to have the
warlike preamble stricken out. Mr.. Allen
consented to this The resolution, as final
ly agreed to, is as follows
That the committee on finance be, and
they are hereby directed and instructed to
inquire and report by bill or otherwise.
whether it would not be expe&isnt and
proper for the government of the United
States of America, at this time to open its
mints to the free and unlimited coinage of
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to /, and
in addition thereto issue an adequate vol
ume of full legal tender treasury notes in
the same manner as such notes have
heretofore been issued and in the interest
of national safety withdraw the issue
power of national banks and retire ali
bank currency.
This is very important. 1t shows
that when war threatens both the old
parties have to get upon the POpulst
platform.
1t would be worth war to get
clear of English Nominations in oul
finances.
Events may force the country tc
universal prosperity in spite of the

WHEN will work begin on the Mis-

asked by those interested in a water
outlet for this town aud community.
We cannot answer the question.
Those in charge of the work take
their own time and do things in
their own way. They act as if they
owned the people instead of being
the servants of the people. MANY
thousands of dollars have already
been expended at the rivers mouth
and there is not any apparent dan
ger Of a good mouth being obtained
there is not even a threat to make
a good mouth. 1t indeed seems
very strange that so much money is
expended and nothing good accomp-
lished. Some people think there is
not any desire on the part of those
directing the thing, to make good
mouth 1hey think there is some
unseen influence bearing against
the successful making Of a mouth
adequate to the needs OF this part Of
the State. We wonder if their sur a
missing or suspecting has any foun- e
dation. 1t indeed does seem +
strange that something of lasting y
nature is not done at this particular =
point. Men who have spent their IN
