PERSONNEL OF THE COMMISSION.

The London Chronicle diberaD con-
siders that If the proposed Venezuelan
commission shall be composed of men
like Edward j. Phelps. Andrew d.
| White and George F. Edmunds, it must
command respect and that some
further proposal from Lord Salisbury
would become expedient and necessary.
Certainly the personnel of the proposed
commission should be such as to COM
mand the respect of the world. for
their mission will be a very delicate
one. In this matter the very highest
standard must be applied in selecting
the men who shall compose it. and
what will satisfy the people of this
country should not be the test. on the
contrary it should not be. If popular
opinion were to rule in the matter it is
quite likely that men would be chosen
who should not be: that is, aggressive
men of pronounced opinion already eX-
pressed. Rather those who at this par
ticular juncture are looked upon as
hold-backs than those who are known
as go-aheads should be chosen. for in
the honor of the nation and upon their
decision may depend the question of
peace or war. How important. then,
it is that the wisest discretion be used
in naming them. They should be
judges, not advocates. and the danger
Is that the people will demand adyo-
Gates.
The men mentioned by the Chronicle
are of the class that the members of
this commission should be taken from.
They have wide experience and ma
tional reputation. Mr.. Phelps was
minister to the court of ST James
under Mr.. Cleveland's first administra-
a lawyer of eminence. Mr.. Andrew d.
White has served his country as min
lister to Berlin and is familiar with
diplomatic questions and usages. Elk
Senator Edmunds is one of the fore
most lawyers of the country, man of
national reputation and very conser-
vative OF the three above named, per-
haps Mr.. Phelps is the most anti-Eng-
fish, he having delivered an almost
rabid lecture on the Boring sea con-
troversy at Yale some years ago in
which he assumed a rather belligerent
tone. This would not necessarily Unfit
him to be one Of the commissioners,
but 1t might create some prejudice in
quarters where it is desirable to al
lay it.
These men have been mentioned,
but there are plenty of others equally
as well qualified. But whoever may be
named commissioners they should be.
and no doubt will be, such as to com
mand the confidence and respect of the
world as well as of Americans. The
United States can afford no less

Tone of the Rritish pres..

The tone of the British press. which is
presumed to speak with more or less
authority, does not warrant the opinion
which appears to be entertained by
some that Great Britain will abandon
her position in the Venezuelan contro-
versy rather than go to war with the
United States. 1t Is true that she has
complications elsewhere, that her mill
tarv and naval resources are in pretty
full demand to protect her possessions
and interests in all quarters of the
world, and that she has enemies every
where. Yet it is not wise to conclude
that she could not be driven into war
with this country, or that she could not
inflct very great damage upon US. Per-

A Genuine War Spirit Exists.

A genuine war spirit seems to exist
among the people of the United States.
This spirit is not sentiment that would
demand of Congress that it declare war
against England or against any other

spirit that will emphaticaily indorse and
sustain Congress and the adminlStra-
lion in the enforcement of any principle
of international law or equity that seems
to be just and right.-Denver Times.
