the Government Of British Guiana. and
the alleged ultimRtum sent by Sails
bury to President Crespo. seem to be
evidence CT determination to test the
sincerity of the Administration in re-
spect to the Monroe doctrine
It is believed here that President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney have
taken a position from which they will
not recede, and that Great Britain must
ultimately yield. The American posi-
ton is that Great Britain's claim to
the disputed territory south of the
Orinoco, which has recently become
valuable by reason of the discovery of
gold, must be submitted to arbitration.
Provided Great Britain undertakes to
carry out the recent threats as declar-
ed in the British press. and to attempt
an arbitrary settlement Of the dispute
by force, an active assertion of the
Monroe doctrine by this Government is
almost certain. We are in a position
to send very formidable fleet to
South American waters, so formidable,
in fact, that it would be more than a
match for any British feet now on this
side Of the Atlantic OF course, there
Is little likelihood of such a warlike
demonstration becoming necessary.
Great Britain is certainly not seeking
quarrel with us. She evidently wish
IS to carry her point without giving
as an excuse to interfere, and this could
be done should the Venezuela Govern
ment give way to bulldozing tactics, or
agree to compromise that would sud-
denly take the question out of the field
OF diplomacy. Such an agreement
would seriously embarrass our position.
1t is not believed, however, that Presi-
dent Crespo can be either intimidated
or corrupted. He is a soldier of ex-
perience. and could, If necessary, place
formidable army in the field for de-
fence of his boundary. His country has
more to gain than to lose by coura-
Seous policy. The answer of the Vene-
zuelan Government to the British ulti-
matum is awaited with anxiety.
There is much qualification in naval
circles over the successful trial trip of
the new battleship Indiana This is the
first of our first class battleships to be
tested at sea, and the result shows that
she is the fleetest and most powerful
ship of her class aftoat in the world
In speed, stability, armor protection,
and gun power, the Indiana is unri-
vailed, and when she goes into commits
sion under Fighting Bob Evans" she
VIII be the monarch of all fighting
ships hitherto constructed IT does not
detract from her success that we have
still more formidable sea monsters in
process of construction.

connection with the Republican nomi-
nation of 1880. The book is full of Incl
dents and anecdotes relating to the ex-
citing political times through which the
author has passed as one Of the princi-
pal figures. On the whole, admirable
temper Is shown, but those who are
capable Of reading between the lines
can detect much of the strife and jeal-
ousy between the members Of one OF
the most famous coteries of political
leaders the country has known. There
is evident criticism of Grant, Garfield
Arthur. Johnson. Harrison and other
famous men living and dead. But the
purpose Of the criticism is evidently not
malicious or revengeful 1t is an ex-
position Of events and motives as the
author honestly sees them.
There Is less OF a personal narrative
in the book than might be expected
Mr.. Sherman speaks modestly of his
boyhood days, Of his family, and Of his
first appearance in public life. Many
Of his important public addresses dur
ing the slavery agitation and during
the political campa gns in which he took
part are embodied in the book. His &C.
count Of the civil war and Of his asso-
citation with Abraham Lincoln is full
Of interest as a narrative and as q his
torical record Of the stirring events o!
that period.
In writing about himself, MI Sher-
man is candid to the point Of self-criti-
cism. For instance, he says that at the
age Of nineteen years he got into bad
company, and was on several occasions
pnnScfnn4 ~ hAfnR fnfnvfcafA1
lating the incident which Influenced
his whole life in this respect. he says
"On one occasion, the fall of 1880,
went home very sick from drinking
My mother received me with 'uch sur
prise and sorrow, but ne: her com
planned nor scolded, and with the ut
most kindness put me to bed AND
watched over and cared for me. was
not enough stupef1ed to be unconscious
Of my degradation and her affection
and then and there resolved never to
be in such condition again."
These extracts from the address are
quoted az indicating Mr.. Sherman's
theory of money: "All intelligent men
agree that every great commercial ma
ton must have both a metallic currency
and paper currency; the one as the
standard Of value by which all things
are measured. which daily measures
your bonds and notes as 1t measures

paper or credit currency. which, from
its convenience Of handling or transfer

Hustler OF the Now Kind as Seen at

An excellent bit of comedy, in which
a prominent family Of Atlanta constI-
tutes the dramatic person, was enacted
a short time sfnee-on the opening day,
in fact, Of the Woman's Building.
1t was at the twilight hour of that
suspicious day. The members of that
family had just come in from the vari-
ous occupations Of the afternoon. The
man Of the house went up to his wife
with anxious inquiry:
THE Woman's Building is nnished?"
he asked.
Yes" was the reply.
All done. and thrown open to the
public?" he persisted.
Yes"

Special Washington Letter.
Undoubtedly John Sherman's new
book, 'Recollections of Forty Years in
the House. Senate and Cabinet" is the
political sensation OF the day. 1t Is a
book that will be largely read, and that
will arouse a storm OF criticism as we'll

dents Of American politics. It Is a
story not only CT broad national poll
tics. but OF intrigue and jealousy, and
there are secrets revealed that are de-
cidedly sensational.
The feature Of the book il it's extreme
frankness. Senator Sherman has chos-
en- to write in a plain and almost blunt
wsy, and there is little attempt at lit
erary grace. The book is evidently in
tended by the author as an exposition
Of the financial policy of the Republi-
can party, which, to a great extent, is
his own, and about the extensive and
elaborate history Of American finances
is woven anecdote and personal remin-
iscence replete with interest to every
student of politics.

treachery against James A. Garfield, in
