Is This Jingoism?

It seems somewhat severe to give
President Cleveland fit of ague in the
midst of his busy haying season at Buzz
card 9 Bay and to send the thrilling chill
of fear up and down the alleged spinal
cord of Mr.. Olney before he has ao-
customed himself to the chair of secretary
of state. It is, however, gratifying to learn
of the real condition of affairs In
Venezuela before the secretive administra-
ton had time to bottle the facts and
leave a naturally curious public to infer
that 1t was none of their business what
happened in Venezuela, any more than 1t
was what happened In Hawaii We are
also glad to believe that the Southern
men are turning their attention to the
matter Their natural Re eating pro-
pensities may havea legitimate field for
display which Of Itself might relieve them
and other people Of the feeling that they
were liking up no wrong tree. Right
Ing the wrongs of venezuelans may also
serve as an antidote for negrophobia,
Though that Sc present being largely a
political matter on the part of those affec-
ting 1t, We do not look for Immediate relief
In that direction.
Moreover 1t Is quite refreshing to hear
the truth spoken with the ring of Ameri-
can earnestness about it. And for all this
we thank Congressman Livingston of
Georgia, though we suspect he will be
tabooed by administration circles for
his temerity In stirring up the American
ca, ,le. Mr.. Livingston was the author of
the resolution which passed the last Con-
gress directing the President to urge upon
Great Britain the need of arbitrating the
questions which have arisen respecting
Venezuela's boundary. Mr.. Livingston
has taken occasion to visit that country
and investigate the condition OF affairs
there. He found the people warm N their
admiration of the people of the United
States and he evidently endeavored TO In
crease this good impression. His ter
ference with British designs upon the
rich resources of that country may seem
inexcusable in the eyes of Mr.. Clevela nd,
for he confesses thht he was instrumental
in obtaining a cQhcession for an Amed-
can company. q
Respecting tha boundary line Mr.. "
