AFFAIRS In Venezuela have
changed about so that Germany,
not England, is being closely
watched by the United States.
Great Britain, acting on the advice
of Sir Vincent Darlington, a repre-
sentative Briton of Venezuela, is
not inclined to press its territorial
claim on account of the effect
such a move may have on the
trade of the country, the Monroe
doctrine of commerce having
touched a spot that cannot be pro-
tected by all the warships and
fighting talk that the British can
muster. Germany on the other
hand has invested an immense
amount of capital in this South
American country and has hit up
on the scheme of annexing an ISL
and at the mouth of the Orinoco
river to be used as a naval station
and base of supplies on the Amer
can continent. While the Venez-
uelan Government has not offered
strenuous objections, the inhabi-
tants of the island in question are
highly patriotic and not inclined
to be handed over to a foreign
power without a struggle. The
exact attitude that Germany will
assume is not known, but it is uu-
derstood that Secretary Olney is
prepared to test the full power of
the Monroe doctrine.

frozen, but the indifference and
possible disgust, as Box terms it.,
is the same.
The majority will agree with Inc
Methodist writer, that the intellee-
tual average of the pulpit was
never so high as now, but the
preacher will reach the young men
more readily by teaching principles
that can be brought into daily life
than by telling him what may hap
pen TO him in the hereafter ii he
fails TO follow the exact routine of
religious life and church attend
ance laid down by a select creed
or dogma. Too many young men,
and old ones for that matter, are
kept away from churches for fear of
the judgment passed on them by a
class of people who pay too much
attention to what others are doing
and saying, and too little to their
own personal integrity.

An evening paper enters the
charge of practical thievery against
Mr.. Selano, the travelling represen-
tative of the Overland Monthly.
That gentleman certainly has a
right to be heard before such a
misdemeanor is placed at his door.
The community can never gain
anything by catching at floating
bits of scandal and passing stories
around before it has any idea
of what it is talking about. The
policy OF believing n man thief
until he is proved 10 he honest has
its adherents, but they are few and
far between.

YOUNG MEN AND THE CHURCH

Sometime ago attention was call
ed to an article by Edward Box in
the January Cosmopolitan on 1.-The
Young Man aud the Church"-in
which the average preacher of to-
day was handled in a decidedly
cold-blooded manner As might
be anticipated Mr.. Bok's views did
not fully coincide with the ideas of
many American clergymen. In the
current issue of The Methodist Re-
view, F. G. Iglehart takes up the
gauntlet thrown at the ministerial
fraternity. He is very much sur
prised that person of Mr.. Bok's
intelligence and experience should
take such a narrow-minded view of
what young men of today require
in the way of religious instruction.
He holds that the youth needs
spiritual warming up rather than a
cold, calculating twenty minutes
business talk on the Bible. Such
a discretion it is claimed will stir
no conscience, pierce no bad habit
and kindle no fire of immortal
love, but will intensity worldliness
that is freezing so many religious
hearts. "In these days, when in
stitutions demand so much notice,
individual responsibility is often
forgotten. If a man be poor, men
say at once that society made him
poor if a young man 60 wrong
they say it is the fault of his pa
rents or the Church. 1t does not
occur to them that the young man
has any responsibility"
Both Mr.. Box and Mr.. Iglehart
may DE regarded as extremists. Ii
they would combine their cooling
and warming forces, they might
obtain an average religious temper
allure which, though 1T might not
be what the young man wants, is
certainly what be needs. Firing
the soul Is often carried TO such an
excess that it has about the same
effect as freezing it. The seeker
after practical truths does not know
whether he has been burned or

first commercial treaty ever
drafted by the former country.
From then on, for several
years, the intercourse with
foreign powers brought to
Japan an increased volume OF
business, and still greater
benefits by demonstrating to
that country the distance be-

nations that the manner of

nately for them the report was
circulated that foreigners were
barred from doing any bust
ness in the Empire. Until 1868
Japan had very dark DAYS"
but in that year the existing
form of government was over
thrown and a new dynasty
stepped into power with lead
ers who saw that the future of
the country depended on reel

Aswe are all familiar with their
more modern history, it is need
less to describe their phenomi-
nal success and the rapidity
with which they adopted the
and customs of their
Eastern competitors.
1t is to be hoped that their
recent success in overthrowing
the Chinese will not SO assure
them of their being unable to
err, that they will stand in the
light of their own advancement.

A Sad Death.

Death entered the home of Mr.. Albert
r. Webber last Tuesday, Jan. 22d, and
removed his wife Mrs. Johanna Webber.
Mrs. Webber's illness had been of short
duration, only ten days, and was not
considered dangerous until few days
before her death. But lung fever, Sc
cured firm hold upon her, and she
passed out into the great beyond.
Mrs. Webber had resided with her
husband in this locality for a number
of years, and through her efforts and
that of an industrious husband had ac-
cumulated a goodly portion of this
worlds goods. Two daughters, and a
loving husband are left to realize the
loss of an affectionate wife and mother.
The funeral services will be held from
the German Lutheran church, in this
city, this afternoon at / 80 o'clock, Rev.
Grobe, of Bourbon, officiating.

loving friends is extended to the family

that was the social one. \ plan should
be formulated whereby this neglected
feature would be more carefully foster
ed in the future.
Mr.. Jas. \. Gilmore had become con-
vinced that one of the potent reasons
for inactivity among business men was
the Smailness of the membership fee
If the amount was increased, and the
association merged into a commercial
club, with appropriate rooms for as
sembling, having social entertainments,
banquets, and all other features added
thereto to make the gatherings inter
esting, a marked Improvement would
soon be the result. Mr.. Gilmore then
moved that a committee of five be ap-
pointed by the chair to meet and talk
over some plan of action fayOring the

The Alderman Trial.

All day Tuesday a trial Of seeming
great interest was in progress before
Justice COrbin. 1t would be unnecessary
for us to enter into review of this case
as the public generally are fully aware
of its principal points. There has been
SO many conflicting reports going the
round that it would take the wisdom of
Solomon to render due justice to the
affair.
The charge against this girl was, that
she associated with people Of i'll repute.
and thus was liable to the law for this
association. At the trial the evidence
was such, that the jury failed to agree,
standing on the first ballot, five for con
yiction and six for acquital one not yot-
ing After remaining out until the next
morning the attorneys of the case got to-
gether and compromised the matter.
The result was that the girl Minnie
Adleman, is to leave Plymouth for one
year, the case being dropped.
As our residence in Plymouth is short
we are not acquainted with the actual
facts in the case, or the parties inter
ested. But we do believe there are
places in Plymouth that are more pro
nOunced in their character than the
place entered last week. If our city is
to be purged let it be done thoroughly.
There should be no favorites, and h
move should be made at once, and an
unrelentlng war begun and continued
to finish.
In the arrests made last week the re-
ports are conflicting. On one side it is
stated that the officer of the law broke
down the door without demanding ad
mitance, and that the door was unlocked
On the other side it is claimed admit
ance was demanded, and refused.
Be that as it may, an officer has GER
tain duties to perform and in the per-
forming of those duties he is supported
by the law so far and no farther. If in
this case the report that he did not de-
mand admittance was true, then he over
stepped his authority and should be
dealt with accordingly; for every citizen
be he ever so humble, has rights which
the law must respect.
But if on the other hand the officer
demanded admitance and was refused,
having conclusive evidence and the
proper authority, he had right to en-
ter even by resorting to force.
Let the work go on, do not stop at one
poor unfortunate, but clean out the re-
naming blots permeating the moral at
mosphere of Plymouth. If reports are
true there is plenty of room to work
upon, and the officers that conscienti-
ously does his duty will be upheld 10y
the people.

Getting to be a Nuisance.

A letter from w. T.. White, formerly
of this county, containing clipping In
regard to the sending of stamps to Miss
German, of that place. Last week we
published letter received by Mr.. Jas
A. Gilmore in regard to sending stamps
to Miss Edna Brown, of that place.
Mr.. White informs us that the two
ladies are in the same line. We repub-
lish the article as it is stated the matter
has become a nuisance and they have
received enough stamps to meet the de-
sired end.
"Miss Clara Coddington, writing from
Kanevllle to the Hinckley Review, says
it is wished to discourage the further
sending of cancelled stamps to Miss
German, of Kaneville. She already has
more than she knows what to do with.
1t is stated she has received over eight
million and there is no let up. Prom
inent citizens of Kaneville, as well as
the newspapers of Aurora and the
county are annoyed by daily receiving
letters asking for information as to the
scheme and its legitimacy, very few of
them enclosing stamp, thus making it
expensive as well as troublesome to at
tempt to.reply.'
From $4,000 to 10000 letters day
containing stamps, besides numerous
packages, both by mail and express, are
received. The family have stopped TAX
ing the express packages and paying the
charges. The postmaster and mail car
rier are both waxing indignant, seven
teen large sacks of mail matter daily
preventing the carrying of passengers
or freight. If all those receiving chain
letters will at once consign them to the

cerned. 1t is hoped that this may be
widely copied by exchanges SO as to fall
under the notice of all who may contem-
plate sending stamps. W. III. Shoop re-
ceived letter from the assistant post

A Commercial Club.

While the tenor of the remarks made
at the meeting of the Business Mems
Association Tuesday evening, were in
accord on the forming of commercial
club, there were those present who did
not seem to like the idea of the form
ing of such a club. AS no expression
was made regarding the matter, it would
not be proper for us to advance our
theory for the reasons, if any, of this
luke -warmness.
Itis surely move worthy of consid.
Grafton. One thing OF great importance
lacking in the city of Plymouth, which
is drawback to financial advancement
is the lack of social intercourse among
the representative business men. II
appears they are so thoroughly wrapped

to generation. 1t is a medical work,
and though not very large, is full Of
good, sound, sensible advice.
1t is printed on old fashioned parch-
ment being bound together with leather
throngs. 1t can be said that the me-
chanical and typographical construction
is not up to recent date, and it would
puzzle a scholar of to-day to read it

DESTROYING THE SCHOOLS.

The public will be surprised and dis
mayed at the action Of the con-
ference committee yesterday in
agreeing to a reduction of the
appropriation for public schools which,
If carried into effect, would GER
tainly destroy their ability to maintain
their high standard, or to give to the
children of the people the education
which they have received in the past
and to which they are justly entitled.
borne the brunt of the economies
that have been carried into effect in
the past. Whenever retrenchment was
desired, it was the schools that first
felt the pang of the knife. To impose
upon them, in addition to the reduc-
tions of the past, the enormous cut
now proposed would be, without ques-
ton, to degrade the system of public,
education in St. Paul from the high
position that it has occupied, and to
make our schools q by-word and re-
proach throughout the whole country.
1t is simply impossible to preserve
the efficiency and maintain the stand
ard Of education in st. Paul on any
such basis as this.
We are amazed that such prop
osition should. for moment, find ia
vor. It is not, be 1t observed, any as
semblage of politicians who concurred,
in this action, but body of gentlemen
who are supposed to have the inter
ests Of the community at heart We
can excuse their action only on the
supposition that they did not know
how vital were the interests that were
affected by it. We have shown here
tofore that the reductions proposed in
the report Of the investigating COM
ing the schools of st. Paul to posi-
ton Of inferiority and incompetency
which we should blush to see them
occupy. To have this process car
ried to the length proposed by the con-
ference committee would be to strike
a blow at the cause of public educa-
ton Of st. Paul. 1t Is the interests
of our children, the cause Of the COM
ing generation that is at stake. We
have all confidence in the common
council of this city, to believe that 1t
will not permit this gross wrong to
be perpetrated. Are or are not our
public schools to be destroyed? Shall
we save something at the sole cost of
the children of the people? We do not
believe that the council will permit this
extraordinary recommendation Of the
committee to be carried into effect, and
strike down the schools of the city by
a blow from which they cannot re-
cover for years to come, if ever.
