ONE HOUR OF BLAINE.

1t pleased the Examiner Yesterday to
give about a column and half of its ed
itorial space to an attempt at showing that
Blaine's management of our foreign affairs
was not more intelligent, vigorous or pa
trlotic than the acknowledgement of them
by the Cleveland regime. The article was
interesting as q novelty of the off year in
politics. The country has been so accus-
toned 10 hear Blaine denounced as bold,
bad lingo, seeking fight with every ma
ton on the globe, that there was all the
chance of unique originality in the Er-
orai',er's argument to prove that after all,
he was only the exemplar of the modern
cuckoo.
To maintain the new view of Blaine sew
eral quotations were given from the diplo-
matte correspondence concerning the con-
troversy between Great Britain and Ven
ezuela. From the quotations given it is
evident Mr.. Blaine was not at that time in
favor OF Immediately declaring war against
England without first proposing arbitra-
ton. From this the Examiner concludes
he was not vigorous supporter of the
Monroe doctrine, and feels itself justified
in maintaining that he did not make this
country more influential in South Amer
lean affairs than it has been under Gresham
and Olney.
The Examiner, however, overlooks the
change that has taken place in the condi-
tons of the Venezuela controversy. In
Blaine's time 1t had gone no further on
either side than diplomatic discussion.
AT the present time England has commit
ted actual aggression and is reported to be
preparing for the immediate establish
ment of her claim 10 the disputed terri
tory by force. When the discussion was
under way Blaine could do no more than
| recommend arbitration. Had England
then, as now, showed signs of scorning our
| interference and entering upon the annex
alton of Venezuelan territory does any in
telligent American doubt that Blaine 5
recommendation would have been soon
changed to the language OF an ultimatum =?
Blaine's policy in regard to The rela-
lions which exist between the United
States and all parts of both North and
| South America constitutes one of the most
conspicuous features of his statecraft. He

SCHOOL VACATIONS.

The institution OF school vacations dates
back considerably further than has been as
sumed. Vacations were first introduced in old
Hellas, and Anaxagoras, the philosopher, was
the founder OF the custom. He lived at Lamp
sacos, on the Asiatic side of the Hellespont,
honored and loved by old and young alike.
When once asked what the city could do for
him he replied: "Close the schools annually
for one month and give the children's time
over to play alone. I wish you would choose
the month die in for that purpose" His wish
was granted, and as late as the third century
OF our era the children of Lampsaeos enjoyed a
months vacation every year, beginning with
goraS' death.

THE JACKPOT" GROWS.
Fresno Republican.

II the people OF San Francisco display sound
business judgment they may secure the Ma
tional Republican Convention at small ex-
pense to themselves. All they need do is to
encourage the morning papers little. The
Examiner subscribed $1,000 to the fund. Then
THE CALL called attention to the fact that it
had already subscribed $4,000. The Chronicle
saw The CALLS $4,000 and went it $4,000 bet
ter. The Examiner came in and called the
Chronicle. Now if the people are wise they
will encourage THE CALL to raise its competi-
tors $500. Then the competitors will see
The CALL and go it few better, and nobody
can foresee how much there would be in the
Jackpot at the end of the game But the peo-
pie down at the bay want to see that interest
In the game does not lag.
LATER-Since the foregoing was written we
learn that The CALL has made the $500 raise.
The game grows interesting and the jackpot

very important mining deal was on. He went
to the hotel and demanded that Hulse let him
in on the ground floor. stating in substance
that he wanted the information for his paper
1t so happened that the information he re-
quired would have injured the captain very
much to give out, and he politely requested
him TO say nothing about it. The newspaper
man promised TO let the matter rest, but the
next morning-lo and behold the paper con-
tanned two columns of what purported to be an
interview with Hulse. Il was fiction from
start to finish, and HuIse was thoroughly dis
pleased with it. He was shreWd enough how
ever, TO say nothing, but left town that after
noon for trip to the northern part of Nevada.
In about week he returned and the news
paper man fell upon him again. HUlse re-
cefved him with open arms and showed him
the greatest Difference"
Here the colonel went into violent fit OF
laughter, from which he was some moments
| recovering, after which he resumed
excuse me, gentlemen, but it's so funny to
think Of Well, Hulse took him off to one side
and after buying him a few drinks told him
that he had the finest piece of mining property
ever heard of, and that there was any quantity
of unclaimed land all around his, waiting for
some one TO come along and take it up. He
! stuffed the newspaper man for about an hour
and the next day it all appeared under flaring
headlines. 1t drove the whole town into the
widest state OF excitement, and half OF the
men took their blankets and left for the new
camp. The result was that they found moth
ing, and after few weeks began to drift back
In the meantime Hulse had left for California
and the frenzied inhabitants fell upon the
editor and smashed his printing Office all up
They next fell upon himself and he was or
dered out of town on the run. The last seen of
him was when he headed down the road for
Beowawe, which town he is said to have
passed through without stopping. There
| stands Captain Hulse over there now Isn't
| he q peaceful looking felIow?'

AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Colonel Sutherland is still telling stories on
MS friends at the Palace Hotel. His latest is
on captain Hulse, the mining man.
IN tell you how it happened that Hulse
drove Nevada newspaper proprietor out of
the town OF Typo. Some years ago he was
looking over mining property in the eastern
part OF Nevada with Ex-Governor Kinkead as
travelling companion. When they arrived at
Typo they found fellow there who had Just
struck the town with a few cases of type and
an OLD Washington press. He had already got
out one or two editions of his paper, and the
appearance OF Hulse accompanied by an ex-
Governor put it into the fellows head that a.

ENGLAND AND VENEZUELA.
PbIladelphia Record -.

There is no doubt that Great Britain and
Venezuela will come to terms by peaceful arpi-
tration, to the grievous disappointment OF the
Jingoes. 1t is quite likely that negotiations
for fixing the basis of arbitration now in
progress. Great Britain has too many unset
tied questions on hand to go to war in Ven
eZuela over this territory, and Venezuela
cannot afford to fight; but impartial arbitrB-
ton would give to each party al that il could
justly claim. AS to the real merits of this con-
troversy, including the rather shadowy Schom-
burg line, nobody in this country knows any
thing about them-always excepting, ofcourse,
the lingo Senator Lodge OF Massachusetts,.

THE POET.

Each secret wish the major poet knows,
And reads each heart and hears each weary
sigh,
And notes all thoughts however deep they lie
Within mems souls. Beneath their mock repose
He sees each grief, all sorrows and all woes
Which make men faint and long to sleep or die
And so find rest beyond yon peaceful sky
In morning lands where days nor flowers close.
With watchful eyes he sees the human race
By steady toll attain higher place
Than that which 1t but yesterday was given;
And when his heart can bear its load 10 more
1t bursts IN song, and thus, with rhythmic roar,
Uplifts it hence to Gods own feet in heaven.

The probabilities are that Great Britain will
eventually accede to the substance of this Ma
TONS demand. At least, she is more likely to
find some diplomatic channels for getting
around the trouble than to take steps looking
toward an actual sundering of relations. The
strip of territory involved in the impending
dispute is not worth any such violen infrac-
ton of international peace. Strained though
the situation may be at present, there is no
feature of it which may not be expected to
yield to diplomatic negotiations if discretion
and judgment are exercised.

The purpose of Great Britain in pushing its
claims upon Venezuela is VIGOROUSLY the gain
of a strip of territory next to British Guiana by
advancing the boundary line. This territory
is valuable because of it's mineral treasures
American citizens already hold concessions
there.
No clearer case for the application of the
Monroe doctrine has ever been presented. The
British claim is nothing but grab. 1t is the
old, old story which has been repeated
wherever Great Britain has obtained a foot
hold. But in this instance there is authority

spirit

way the cause of the Venezuela boundary dis
pute, though incidentally. 1t saws: ait is
generally believed here that the British colony
of Guiana is in bad way, and that her saliva
ton lies in exploiting the goldfelds which are
in the disputed area" Precisely so. England
has found that certain neglected territory has
some riches in it, and purposes to seize it, and
depends upon being able to browbeat Vene-
zuela out of any pretensions to sovereignty
over it, refusing to have the claim she makes
submitted to arbitration.

INDIANAPOLIS News.

The Venezuelan question appears to be moth
ing more nor less than the old British game of
land-grabbing. All that the United States
wants is an arbitration of the matter; wants
the question settled by reason and exam ina
ton, and not by powerful country like Eng
land bouncing upon weaker one like Ven
ezuela, constituting herself Judge, jury and
officer, taking her own testimony, making her
own verdict and executing it herself If Eng
lands claim is true, as she makes it now, she
has nothing to fear from arbitration.

This is one phase of the Venezuelan question
that may force England to agree to an arbitra-
ton. The territory she seeks to acquire in
Venezuela is gold-bearing. This is the secret
of her movements in that quarter. There is no
principle and no sentiment involved 1t is
purely matter of greed. If England discovers
that she is likely to lose more in other quarters
than she will gain in Venezuela her inclination
to forcible seizure of the territory will very
likely yield to the demand for arbitration

If Great Britain, relying on the general
supineness of the Cleveland foreign policy, sees
fit to challenge this principle, to deny the
right of this country to protect Venezuela from
dismemberment and to insult the American
Government she is running very grave risks.
A Republican Congress, representing the man
hood and patriotism of the American Nation,
will not tamely submit to this indignity, nor
suffer the Salisbury Ministry to make British
power dominant in South America by raising
the British flag over the mouth of the Orinoco

The actual intentions of Great Britain toward
Venezuela have not yet been announced. The
signs and portents which usually appear when
she is about to engage in dirty and ignoble
piece of business are already visible, however.
One OF these signs is the staggering and
truculent tone suddenly assumed by some of
the minor London newspapers.

The refusal of arbitration is an acknowledge
ment of the lack OF rightful title and it is,
moreover, in the face of the resolutions of Con-
gress and of the representations of This Govern
ment, an open offense to the United States, to
which the administration is justified in offer
ing a strenuous opposition.

To the Editor of the San Francisco CaII-SIR
In your yesterdays issue Mr.. II. Kramer, in
order to conciliate certain conflicting chroni-
Giles regarding the birth of Christ, advances The
theory that the so-called "Christian era" sig
mites the date of crucifxion. But how is this
hypothesis to coincide with the fact that the
Christian persuation from its incipiency has
been celebrating the reeurrent anniversary of
that epoch in commemoration OF the rite of
circumcision performed upon the founder of
their creed? Also, l respectfully beg to call
the attention OF the previous contributor on
the same subject that, in my opinion, the
proper English translation for the Hebrew
word "Tzemach'' would be "Bud," in con
formity with the preterite verb "Tzomach, -
signifying "Sprouted," and not Branch
