ECHOES FROM WEST END.

Since the late rains West End
lake has continued to overflow, and
much OF Lake avenue has been
washed away. The West End
Town company has put a stop to
that now, after several days work,
The lake is a part OF the old bed OF
the Alazan, so that the AlaZan is a
running creek now. The Martinez
creek, running through the eastern
part OF our suburb, has quoted
down again to its natural state.
Messrs. DR.. Love and DR.. Jarrold

side hotel into a sanitarium; the
idea was easily grasped; DIR. Pee
bles had a well attended sanitarium
here before; the loss Of it has been
greatly felt by invalids, who want
a cool and pleasant place to recup-
crate in.
All the parents and guardians of
scholastic youths Of West End are
signing an appeal to the present
City Council, to give them better
school facilities; less than Of the
scholars now pertaining to the
lower grades only taught here
now, can be Accommodated and it is
the wish and hope Of our people
that a larger school, and more
classes may in future be given to
Miss Nelson, our popular teacher.
1t is known to that the city is in a
straight financial condition, so
proposition will be offerd to rent
a larger and more suitable house.
Among the last Friday school
picnics none was perhaps better en-
joyed than that on the West End
pavilion, for the West End school.
Numerous scholars from other and
even private schools, joined in with
the West End school to thoroughly
enjoy themselves, in the house over
the water.
During the last bright moon
lights many San AntODians en-
joyed boatriding; last night some
of these found out that the smooth
sheet OF water over which they
glide does not prevent the strains
of songs from being heard, and
several good voices echoed on the
shores with the silly gush OF

A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
Something About the Man Named For Gov
ernor In Rhode Island.

ernOr i n Rhode Island.
In nominating Colonel Charles Warren
Lippitt for governor the Republicans of
Rhode Island have put forward a man
who is the peer of any in the state from
the social standpoint, for he is directly de-
scended from John Lippitt, who in 1888
was one of the original lot owners in the
town of Providence.
More than that, in Colonel Lippitt's
veins flows the blood Of Roger Williams,
the founder of Rhode Island; of John Cush-
ing, the celebrated jurist, and of Samuel
Gorton, the founder of Warwick, r. l.
But it is not because of his ancestry that
he has been nominated. Though his life
has been passed mainly in regular round
of business duties, he has been able to de-
vote much time and energy to the party
of his choice, has served repeatedly as
chairman of the Providence city Repub-
liCan committee and Of the congressional
district committee has been a familiar
figure for years at the state conventions
and has done good service during most
recent state and national campaigns
Colonel Lippitt was born in Providence
on Oct. s, 1916. His early education was
received in private school, after leaving
which he entered the university grammar
school, whence he was graduated in 1869.
Then he entered Brown university, from
which he was graduated in 1865. Imme-
diately after graduation he went on an
extended tour through the far west, de-
voting much time to the Rocky noun
tains, which were then to be reached only
via the famous pony express. The next
year he made a tour Of Europe returning
in the winter, after which he took up a
post graduate course in logic, rhetoric and
English literature under private tutors
from Brown and Harvard. After that he
made another European tour, returning
to America in 1865 and settling down to
business with his father In 1856 he
was president of the franklin lyceum
in Providence; served through 1S7S.9-S
as vice president of the Providence board
Of trade, being the first to hold that office,
and rising in lSSl-2 to the higher place
of president Of the board. Early in his
career as a business man he became iden
titled with the Commercial club serving
first as its vice president and then as pres
ident and declining reelection in 1884.
Colonel Lippitt is ready and eloquent
speaker. His business interests are large
and diverse.

American commander who recently refus-
ed to heave to when a Spanish mani of

native of Hudson, n. Y. He went to sea
at the early age of IL years and was so
apt a sailor that he received his masters
certificate when but II years Of age. From
that time until the outbreak of the civil
war he commanded vessel in the mer-
chant marine. When hostilities began,
he entered the United States navy as vol
unteer and served with distinction. He
rose to the rank of lieutenant, and at the
close of the war resigned and received an
honorable discharge.
He promptly re-entered the merchant
marine, and in course of time saved enough
money TO buy a ship. She was lost in a
storm, but he managed to save the crew
He then entered the service of the Old Do
minion Steamship company and later was
put in command of the Vigilancia, then
owned by the United States and Brazilian
Steamship company.
During the late war in Brazil he attract

The Monroe doctrine finds its recog-

theory thst-every nation shall have its

OF course this government is en-
tirely confident that under the sanction
of this doctrine we have clear rights
and undoubted claims. Nor is this ig-
nored in the British reply. The Prime
Minister, while not admitting that the
Monroe doctrine is applicable to pres
ent conditions, states: "In declaring
that the United States would resist
any such enterprise If 1t were contem-
plated, President Monroe adopted a
policy which received the entire sym

that date" He further declares;
"Though the language Of President
Monroe is directed to the attainment

dsnt CleyeIand'g message on Che con-
troveray between this nation and Great
Britain regarding the arbitration Of
the boundary line dispute between Ven.
ssuela and British Guiana reached Con-
grsss at noon. IL was as follows:
y 9n5ySsSi In my annual message
dse w Congress on the 3D. inst, I
called ttentlon 10 the pending bound
afy controversy between Great Britain
and the Republic Of Venezuela and re-
cited the substance Of representation
made by this government to her Brit
tsniC msjesty's government suggesting
reasons why such dlspate should be
submitted to arbitration for settlement
and inquiring whether it would be
submitted. The answer from the
Britlsh government, which was then
awaited, has since been received, and
together with the dispatch TO which IL
isa reply Is hereto appended. It viii
beseen that one Of these communics-
lions Is devoted exclusively to obser-
yatlons upon the Monroe doctrine
and claims that in the present In.
stance a new and strange extension
and development Of this doctrine is In.
sisted on by the United States, that
reasons justifying an appeal to the doc
trine ere insisted on by the United
States, that reasons justifylng an ap.
peal to the doctrine enuncisted by
President Monroe are generally inap-
pllcable "to the state Of things in which
we live at the present day." and es-
pecially inapplicable to Q controversy
involving the boundary line between
Great Britain and Venezuela.
MONROE DOCTRINE SOUND.
Without attempting extended aEgu-
ments in reply ID these positions, 1t may
not be amiss to suggest that the doc
trine upon which we stand is strong
and sound, because It's enforcement Is
important to our peace and safety as
nation and Is essential to the integ-
rlty Of our free institutions ind to the
tranquil maintenance Of our distinct
I've form Of government. It was in
tended to apply TO every stage Of our
national life and cannot become obso-

Jealous anxiety among the governments

absolute non-interfeTence, none the less

Assuming, therefore, that we may
properly Insist upon this doctrine with
out regard to ''the state Of things In

lions here or elsewhere, it is not ap
parent why its application may not be
invoked In the present controversy.

stances seem 60 me TO be far from sat
isfactory. 1t Is deeply disappointing
that such an appeal, actuated by the
most friendly feelings toward both na-
tions directly concerned, addressed to
the sense Of justice and to the magma
nimity of one of the great powers Of
the world and touching its relations to
one comparatively weak and small,
should have produced no better re-
suits.
OUR COURSE CLEAR.
The course to be pursued by this
government In view of the present
condition does not appear to admit Of
serious doubt.
Having labored faithfully for many
years to induce Great Britain to sub
NIT this dispute to impartial arbitrs-
tion, and having been now finally ap-
prised Of her refusal to do so, nothing
remains but to accept the situation, to
recognize It's plain requirements and
deal with it accordingly. Great Brit
aims present proposition has never
thus far been regarded as admissible
by Venezuela, though any adjustment
of the boundary which that country
may deem for her advantage and may
enter into of her own free will cannot,
of course, be objected to by the United
States. Assuming, however, that the
attitude of Venezuela will remain un-
changed, the dispute has reached such
a stage as to make it now incumbent
upon the United States to take meas
ures to determine with sufficient GER
tsinty for its justification what is the
true divisional line between the Repub-
lie of Venezuela and British Guiana.
The inquiry to that end should, Of
course, be conducted carefully and ju-
ducially, and due weight should be
given to all available evidence, records
and facts in support Of the claims of
both parties.
URGES A COMMISSION TO INVEsTI-
GATE.
In order that such an examination
should be prosecuted in thorough
and satisfactory manner, l suggest
that the Congress make an adequate
appropriation for the expenses of q
commission to be appointed by the ex-
ecutive, who shall make the necessary
investigation and report upon the mat
ter with the least possible delay,
When such report is made and ac'
cepted it will, in my opinion, be the
duty of the United States to resist by
every means In its power as a willful
aggression upon its rights and interests
the appropriation by Great Britain OF
any lands OF the exercise of govern
mental jurisdiction over the territory
which, after investigation, we have
determined of right belongs to Ven
ezuela.
In making these Communications,
am fully alive to the responsibility
incurred and keenly realize all the con
sequences that may follow. l am
nevertheless, firm In my conviction that
while it is a grievous thing to contem'
plate the two great English speaking
peoples Of the world as being other

IT'S A PAYING INVESTMENT.

Municipal UWneFBnIp OF WWVokWUkAS IA
Clay Center, Kansas.
AS the day for squaring up the taxes
draws near interest In public business
affairs grows quite nOticeably, and sS
there has been some question lately as
to the proftsblenesS Of the city's water
works investment we herewith give
the receipts and expenditures Of the
institution since the municipality took
control, the same being taken from the
books Of Water Commissioners Puckey.
For 1898 the account stood:
The advocate., 1895-12-25

This is the actual cash profits Of the
wsterworks to the city since its pur-
chase. The indirect saving to the
people makes the profits still greater.
The city paid the water company
$4,000 per year hydrant rental, which
now costs nothing, though the interest
on the $4,000 bonds issued to pay for
the works, which amounts to 81, loop
year, may be set over against this, leav.
ing clear saving Of $1,000 per year.
For two and a half years this would
amount to S4,750. Add this to the
profit of 81 ,035. 81 and we are ahead on
the deal S., 1857. Nor is this ali, for
the reductions in rentals to patrons
will average nearly 20 per cent, the
exact amount Of this Of course being
impossible to estimate.
The interest on the $S2, 0OOjudgments
against the city and the costs attending
the fighting of the case in the courts,
makes quite q sum, but that would
have to be paid anyway and doesn't
cut any figure in these calculations.
BY way of explanation we would say
that the first SSO1.2s on this statement
was borrowed from the general fund
and returned thereto the Eext year.
The first cost of the works to the
city was SS9, 800 and it is in better shape
now than when it was bought. There
have been great improvements about
the building, new walls put in, etc.
Mr.. Puckey will cheerfully furnish
information on this subject to anyone
who may wish to make any inquiries.
