ONLY two leading American
journals are opposing the Presi-

question, one is the New York
World and the other is the New

Angeles Times has this to say of
them:
"Under its present management
the New York World has always
been intensely un-American. As a
matter of course the World supports
the British side of the Venezuelan
question instead of the American
side, Can the leopard change its
spots or the Ethiop his skin? Not
in ten thousand years."
"Of course the Mugwump Even

THE PRESIDENT CALLED
HALT.

President Cleveland's message
on the Venezuelan question leaves
no room for criticism. 1t is one
Of the strongest state papers ever
sent TO an American Congress by
q President of the United States.
1t is an exhibition of American
backbone which every loyal Amer
lean will applaud, and the Presl-
dent may be assured that the
American people will approve
most heartily the stand he has
taken. He can depend on them to
follow him to the fighting point,
and then through the fight and on
to victory on this important issue.
In vain has this Government
sought to secure the consent OF
Great Britain to submit to arbitra.

The Venezuelan government has
complained to the United States
that Great Britain seeks, by force
to change the boundary line be,

ana, and thereby seize large por-
ton of her territory, and extend
the British system of Government
over the inhabitants thereof, with
their consent. To the demand OF
our Government that the question
be submitted to arbitration, Lord
Salisbury, the British Prime Minis
ter sends back not only a fiat re-
fusal, but denies our right to en-.
force the Monroe doctrine on this
continent. In fact, the reply
claims the right for the British
Government to seize territory in
America wherever and whenever
she has the inclination and the
power to do so, and declares there
is no principle of international law
which restrains her in the present
instance, or that can check her in
any future aggressions.
The Monroe doctrine, based up
on the law of self preservation
which Is distinctly an element il
international law, is secuted by
Great Britain as a mere local idea
The President meets this opposi
ton with firmness and dignity
which will be supported by men O
all parties. He declares to Con
gress that "nothing remains but tt
accept the situation, to recognize
it's plain requirements and dea
with it accordingly"
He asks Congress to empowe,
the Executive to appoint com

mine the Venezuela British Guian;
boundary. A bill was immediate
ly prepared and passed both house
giving him this power.
Great Britain has always been il
the habit of bulldozing weake
powers and seizlng territory when
ever she had an opportunity, ant
she has always been so successful
that she seems to have got it int,
her head that on account of th1
'blood- relation" existing between
| Great Rriteir and the United
United States that she could do as
she pleased on this hemisphere and
that Uncle Samuel would not kick,
but she has found that President
Cleveland had the nerve to call a
halt, and she will also find that
our chief magistrate will take no
backward steps as regards true
Americanism and its assertion. No
forcible encroachment on republi-
can soil on this continent will be
tolerated! If Great Britain really
believes the territory in dispute
belongs to her she cannot, in hon
or, refuse to submit the issue to
arbitration.

Some Anecdotes of Humphrey Marshall,
Soldier and Congresslnan.

Some Anecdotes of Humphrey Marshall,
Soldier and Congressman.
Edward J. McDermott, in an article
entitled Fun on the Stump in The
Century, relates the following
Just before the war Humphrey Mar
shall was a great debater in congress-
During the war he was a Confederate
general. He was very large and stout
a veritable Falstaff. AT the breaking
out of the war he wrote to an officer Of
the north and warned him not to invade
the sacred soil of Kentucky, for if he
did he would have to pass over the dead
body Of Humphrey Marshall. Thenorth
EN- officer replied: Dear general, we
won't pass over your dead body. We
preAer to tunnel through. = f:
After the war the general had a good
practice, but he was extravagant and
often in need Of money. Once he was
dogged by a collector who had been put
off dozens of times. At last the collector
said: General, You have said to me
time after time: 7 cannot pay youst this
week. Come next. Now, I can t afford
to be coming here all the time You
must fix the day. When will you cable
to pay me??'' Din it, sir, y said the
general, do you think / am a prophet?i'
When the general was running for
congress against Mr.. Blank, after the
war, he tried to draw out Mr.. Blanks
exact opinions by q close debate on the
stump. In such an intellectual conflict
few men could compete with Humphrey
Marshall. Mr.. Blank paIried and fenced
as well as he could Finally Marshall
said one evening in his ponderous tones
and impressive manner:
"Fellow citizens, have tried to pin
M. Blank down and make him give me
a fair statement of his opinions and
principles, but he fits about SO nimbly
that it is impossible to follow him in an
argument. In lodging a debate be re-
minds me Of a bobolink fitting along a
zigzag Worm fence, hopping or flying,

on the other, until the mind is Devil
