In Case of War.

In comparing the naval strength of the
United States with that of Great Britain it
appears to be generally overlooked that in
case of war the entire naval force of the
United States could be utilized for the pur-
pose of defense or offeEse, as the case
might be, and while the coast line of the
United States is of extraordinary length,
thus requiring an unusual amount of mari
time preparation, the navy of Great Britain
is subject to extensive demands for the pro-
lection of her valuable commercial interests
in all parts of the world. In short, it would
be impossible for her to concentrate all OF
her great naval strength in operations
against the United States, for this would
leave exposed some dozen important points
in different quarters Of the globe where Eng
fish interests are paramount. To relinqush
the watchful vigilance over these outposts
made necessary by her colonizing policy
would be to expose her to attacks from pow
ers that are inimcal to her interests and
jealous of her wide possessions. Yet these
facts do not warrant the complete reliance
forces in case of trouble. If war is seriously
contemplated. or becomes an actual proba-
bility, the first duty of this government will
be to equip itself in a modern fashion and
to call in all the natural resources in which
the country is SO rich today.

Endorse the Monroe Doctrine Now.

This is al excellent season for Congress to
give to the Monroe doctrine that formal and
official sanction that up to this time 1t has
lacked. There have been many occasions
when the doctrine fas received the practical
Endorsement cf the natiora al legislature, but
the fact remains that 1t has never been
approved in the form of enactments and SO
has never gone upon the statute books of
the country. 1t Is now proposed in the Sen
ate to amend the resolution which yesterday
passed the House appropriating 100000 for
the purpose of the boundary commission
suggested by President Cleveland, by insert
ing 4 formal announcement of the Monroe
doctrine and an Endorsement of it's principles
which will thus supply the defect of many
years. Any other amendments, however
might be unwlse. 1t will be impolitic to
stipulate as to the manner of appointing
the commission to place a limit of time
within which the report should be submit
ted. In supporting the President in his firm
declaration of policy, Congress should place
no restrictions upon him nor should it imply
Gny suspicion of his patriotism or complete
sincerity by indicating desire to scrutniZe
his appointments or dictate the length of
time which the commission would have at
its service. The duty proposed to be intrust-
ed to this body is of the gravtst consequence
and on its findings may hinge the fate of
nations. 1t would therefore be the height of
ind!scretion to insist that it should be linn
tied in time or to seek to make party capital
out of the method of the appointment of its
members. In this matter, in all others
affecting international relations, the admin
istration must be taken to represent the
people of the United States, and the two
houses of Congress, acting in a similar
capacity. should give their hearty support
to the executive when he has assumed an
American position that is sustained by his
tory and by fact

colonists have been encouraged by the
home government to occupy a tract Of
country that has been in dispute for many
years, and as a result some of them have
suffered indignities at the hands of the
Venezuelan government, which honestly
believes that the Englishmen are tres
passers. and has treated them accordingly.
For this alleged ofrense Great Britain
serves a bill for $4,000 damages. and still
holds the land. II the Venezuelans pay
the indemnity they practically admit that
the British had the right to occupy the dis
puted country. If they refuse, the British
still have the territory.
1t is this fact of territorial occupation
that makes the present case aggravating
to America. President Cleveland has
plainly indicated that the United States
views with suspicion England's continued
encroachments in Venezuela and her re-
fUsal to submit the whole question without
restriction to arbitration. If the dispute
between England and Venezuela We're
the result of unwarranted aggressions by
Venezuela, impudent assertions of right
without foundations of fact, or deliberate
disregard of International equity by the
small republic, the case would be wholly

States would be presumptuous and fool

Unnecessary Annoyances.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the present
muddie over the location of a garbage Gre
matory in the northwestern section of the
city will result in overhaulins of the
entire matter by Congress and the adoption
of a system of disposal that win cause the
establishment of a first-claSs reduction
plant outside of the city limits. The local
authorities should now be able TO see very
clearly that as long as the plan of urban
establishments is followed there will be
continual protesting on the part of the citi-
zens. and possibly Determinations against
certain sections that will surely lead to
bitter antagonism. The people of the north
east and of Capitol Hill are now apprehen-
sive, it is said. lest they should next be
thrown into a ferment CT agitation from
this same cause. and, indeed, the reasons
for locating crematory in either or both
or these sections are as strong as these
which have resulted In the establishment

city establishments, and If the garbage

sbly be urged that these separate estab-
lishments are necessary, in the light of the

to scatter foul odor5 throughout the CITY

A Flexible BounJ,rx Line

Let us imagine that some British miners
have coloniZed in our Alaskan gold fields:
that upon this fact England bases a claim
to ownership of the property under an ex-
tended Canadian boundary; that our mill
tary strength Is as feeble as that of Vene-
zuela; that England marks as her boundary
a line which includes our gold fields, and
says to us. Helpless to fight, II will arbi-
trate as to the ownership of all
the rest Of your property, but up to
that lire is mine beyond question.
l cannot submit to arbitration the extrava-
giant claims of Russia in the last and the
present century, which if sustained would
remove my colonist-ruiners from under my
own admirable rule to the unsettled and
disoI ganized Jurisdiction of Alaska and to
the government of a turbulent and unruly
people," Under those conditions we would
feel as Venezuela does. 1t Is unsafe to per-

The True Scope of American Inter-
ventfOn.


Foreign newspapers commenting on the
Venezuelan matter, appear to ignore or to
misinterpret the true scope and meaning
OF the Presidents position as outlined in
bis message of Tuesday. They give the
impression that the President has under
taken to place the United States in posi-
ton Of standing sponsor for all that the
South American nations may do or at
tempt, whereas, In fact Mr.. Cleveland's po-
sition, and doubtless that of the entire
country, is that the United States will in
tervene only when territorial acquisitions
are threatened or involved No nation can
afford to become guardian for smaller
powers to the full extent of such a respon-
sibility. The United States has never
sought to uphold the nations of the south
ern continent in their disputes with the
powers of Europe over affairs that have
no bearing upon boundaries or territory
In the Nicaraguan matter the United States
withdrew Its threat of Intervention when
the dispute with England was brought
down to a merely personal detail Of repa-
ration for injuries. In the present case the
claim for indemnity urged by England
against Venezuela distinctly involves the
entire territorial question. The English DO

MAJ. CAMPBELL WALLACE,
A Prominent Georgian and @ Central Figure
 of the War, Is Dead.

Atlanta, Ga., May 3.-Maj. Campbell Wallace, one of Georga's oldest and for thirty years one of her most promi- nent citizens, died at II 80 o'clock to- night. Descended from the Scotch Wal laces, he was born in North Carolina in 1895. In early life he was a merchant, and while resident of Knoxville in 1853 Major Wallace became the presi- dent of the East Tennessee and Georgia railroad, building it up into a splendid property and extending it's lines from Cleveland to Chattanooga and Knoxville. During the war he rem dered valuable aid to the Confederate government by removing troops from one point to another. On the retreat of General Bragg from Kentucky Major Wallace transferred as many as 60,000 men from Knoxville, Tenn, to Bridge port, Ala. The transfer of these sol diers was made under trying circum- stances, but realizing the importance of moving General Bragg's army he never fiinched. He refused a brigader's com mission because he considered his rail- road experience more valuable to the Confederacy. After the war he was promptly pardoned by President An drew Johnson, who was a warm per- sonal friend and neighbor for many years.
 After the war Major Wallace came to Atlanta. He was on his way to Barrow county to purchase farm on which he expected to live, when he was placed by Governor Jenkins in charge of the Vest ern and Atlantic railroad, as superintend- ent. This was in 1866. He devoted him. self with all his skill and talents as an organizer to the work of rebuilding the road, and succeeded in making it the best road in the state.
 Afterward he was a banker in Atlanta, and was chairman of the Georgia rail- road commission. He accumulated a large fortune. His life was pure and he was the friend of all young men, num- bers of whom he helped start in busi- ness. He leaves several children.
