get that besides standing army Of
rs, 900 men, q force OF nearly 400, 900
State troops could very soon be made
available. As to navy, the lesson OF
ihe late civil war ought to teach them
now doom we could build one large
enough to meet all demands for the
protection of our lake and seaboard
cities, with many vessels to spare for
preying upon British commerce. It is
hoped the trouble will be amicsbly ad-
justed without resort TO arms, but our
English cousins ought to know that If
the colonies seriously contemplated the
capture Of Canada in the revolu tionary
war, the United States would not hesi-
tate now to invade the Dominion, with
the ultimate object OF It's annexation
and absorption if hostilities with the
mother country should once begin.

WAR CAN HARDLY BE AvERrED.

The Presidents message on the Ven
ezuelan question has created great ex-
element in the money market, and
called for another document from him
in regard to finances yesterday. The
English seem to be getting in their
work of bearing down American secur-
ities, and just now they are pinching US
rather hard. There is plenty of silver
in this country, however, and the great
majority Of the people are very we'll sat-
isfied to use 1t as money.
The London stock market Is only en-
indication of British sentiment, which
is, Of course, very much embittered
against Americans at this time, while
the action of the United States Senate
and House of Representatives in
promptly supporting Democratic Presi.
dent in his determination to resist ag-
gression, is a complete answer to the
sneers of the English and their predic-
tions of the financial collapse Of this
country.
War is terrible scourge, but ma
tion's honor is too sacred thing to be
tsifled with, as Premier Salisbury and
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, will find out.
The truth is both sides desire to fight,
and this being the case 1t Ia hard to see
how war can be averted. 1t may be
postponed, but when the Britain thrsw
down the gauntlet at Corinto, Americans
felt that an affront had been offered
their country, and thst II in the case
Of Venezuela this should be repeated, 1t
should be promptly resented. President
Cleveland's message voiced this senti-
ment and no will be sustained by all of
the American people.
