Americanism in CleveIand's Absence.

Reports from Washington declare that
1t is certain Secretary Olney has advised
the President of Venezuela not to pay the
indemnity demanded by England, on the
ground that the boundary line dispute is
involved in the question. If so he has
rendered the decision in the absence of
the President on ducking outing. Ii
will be remembered that Gresham sent
ont his ringing Alliance dispatch in the
absence Of the President. We have always
felt that in the management of foreign
affairs both Gresham and Olney were bet
ter qualified than Cleveland Gresham
was an American. Olney comes of good
old American stock and some of its
virtues, we believe, have been transmitted
to him. But the record Cleveland has
made is undeniable evidence that when
he errs in his foreign policy it is not on
the American side.

TREADlNG ON DANGEROUS GROUND.
That Seems to Be the German Opinion oil
EngIand's Venezuelan Policy

(From the Berliner Boersen Courier)
1t is fully apparent that England has
reached the point where she is completely
isolated in Europe, and that her selfish
policy, which is to undertake no obliga-
ton for friends while trying to induce
them to protect her interests has forced
her to stand alone among the great
powers. Now, by her venturesome in
discretions, she has been plunged into
complications in all parts of the world.
Ultimatum here, ultimatum there, but
no strong armed force to redeem her big
words with brave deeds. Now an AFRO
CANT tone toward half civilized peoples;
now an inflated air of assumed patronage;
now Gathering of the sword and a
threatening with Armstrong cannon; at
the same time, not the physical strength
to crush on the spot even a meeting of
savagcs.
English policy in Venezuela is the same
as elsewhere. The Venezuelan govern
ment now has published documents which
prove just about conclusiyely the injustice
of Englands claims. From the informa-
ton received by us from the Venezuelan
consul general in Berlin it is perfectly
clear that the British, according to the
increase in value of territory before sup
posed to be valueless, have pushed their
boundary further and further in the
course of the fifty years negotiations, that
they have raised their demands higher
and higher, and that they have declined
persistently to settle the dispute by arbi-
tration. Now England is in a position
where she must face at least coalition
of central American republics, and per-
haps will not be able to relegate the
North American Union to the part of a
spectator.

She has been at Constantinople it seems.
She found the Turk possessed of very
agreeable manners, especially she
found the ladies charming. To do her
justice, however, Elisabeth concludes that
the gentle Turk when his religious
fanaticism is aroused. become slike a wild
beast.
We have a little mild curiosity as to
just how much f. Hopkinson Smith and
Elisabeth Washburn Brainard know of
the Turkish situation, anyway. We do not
doubt that they have visited CONSTANT
nople and hobuobbed with the Moslem
elite. People have visited New York in
times past, Should they consequently
assume to depict life upon an Apache
reservation? Yet the polish of the Turkish
court, Judging from all we can learn,
bears no closer relation, in appearance at
least, to the conditions existing among
the lowest, the down trodden people of
that benighted and tax ridden land.
When we have the testimony of mission
aries who have passed their lives among
the scenes they depict, whose integrity is
unquestionable; when we have the state
ments of Armenians, who have fled from
prosecutions at home to become respect
able citizens in our own communities,
what do we want of or care for the
garrulous bids for notoriety, made by
people who ought to know better but
evidently don't?

Need Of Relief for Armenian Sufferers.

1t is evident that relief can only be
afforded the destitute and starving
Armenians under the protection of an
armed guard. The Sultan's refusal to
permit even the Red Cross society to ex-
ercse its humane offices makes it very
evident that nothing of the kind can be
secured from the Turkish authorities,
and none of the powers appear ready to
afford it, The first consideration with the
powers is and has been from the first the
peace of Europe. The improvement of
affairs in Turkey is purely secondary
consideration with them. As one writer
we'll says:
so long as the powers merely threaten
the Sultan with fleets, unaccompapied
with means for climbing mountains, he
simply chucklcs and proceeds with his
cruelties and outrages, while declarin G
all the time that neither cruelty nor out
RACES exist save in the Imagination of
English Liberals and of the American
missionaries. More than 200, 900 wild
owed women; dishonored brides, father
less children, infirm and feeble people,
skilled artisans without Tools farmers
without field TO till, and merchants with
out goods to sell, are now crying to
heaven for pity. The blood of martyrs
is crying for vengeance in vain
The peace of Europe does not affect the
United States and it would certainly seem
as il our government should do every
thing in its power to alleviate the horrible
| sufferings of the Armenian people
