The Venezuelan boundary contro-
yersy has been made the subject of a
special message to congress by Presi-
dent Cleveland. For fifty years the
question of the boundary between
Venezuela and British Guiana has
been in dispute, and it is claimed by
Venezuela that Great Britain has
with every renewal of the quarrel ma
terially advanced her claim to terri
tory. This is the view taken by the
state department and is receiving the
endorsement Of the president. He
gives the Monroe Doctrine his unqual-
flied endorsement and lays it down as
the diplomatic law of the United
States that any aggression of Ameri-
can territory by any European power
is menace to our peace which will be
prevented by any means at our dis
posal, when repeated protests and Of
fers of arbitration have failed. This
is the most warlike utterance that
has ever fallen from President Cleve-
land, and he is endorsed quite gener-
ally for the vigor he has put into his
challenge to England. 1t is difficult
TO see how either country can back
down without humiliation, and a war
with England has become more than
a mere possibility.

Mrs. w. b. Ruffin, who was taken

very sick, and with her age, eighty
years, her recovery is doubtful. Her
sister, Mrs. r. S. Carter, of Bolivar
is at her bedside.

Mrs. J. w. Walker, wife of our

confined to his room for fifty DAYS,

doubt, but one cause of its
increase in value is that since
the restoration ofconfidence,
there will be expansion in
the volume of the circulating
medium, and not because
there has been a contraction
in the silver bullion supply,
while another cause is that the
Chinese war debt to Japan
will probably be paid in sill
yer. But when it is known
that confidence was not re-
gained, the rate of interest
lessened, nor was there a re-
action in business, and adj
vance in commodities until
after the repea. of the Sher-
man law, it is hardly posi-
bic that there will much cree
dence in the assertion that the
rise in silver is the cause ofthe
recent encouraging change
for the better.
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1895-04-05

IT is indeed strange that an
advance In values is attribu-
ted to an increase in the
price of silver. On the 9TH
of August 1898, when con-
gress was convened in extra
session to deal with the cri-
sis, the country had reached
the point where it was either
compelled to 60 to a silver
basis or cease the purchasing
of silver bullion. The fear
full and trying ordeals
through which we passed are
of too recent date to be for
gotten. On almost every
ship that left American ports
there were millions of dollars
in gold being exported to for
eign lands. American Sc
curities were sent back to
this country to be cashed,
the closing of banks were al
most daily occurrences, and
confidence between man and
man was a thing of the past.
This is only a partial review
of what transpired during the
prevalency of the panics
which hung over our land
like a pail. sapping life's
blood from the country. As
long as the outflow of gold
continued so long was there
a lack OF confidence, nor was
there a revival in business, or
a very perceptible advance in
the price of commodities un-
til after the exporting of
gold in great quantities ceas-
ed. That silver bullion has
advanced in price there is no
