If ;ho President is going to
continue his present favorable at
titude, he must prove change of
policy. Ifhe continues a patriot,
he must cease to be an obstruction
ist. If England must have some
American lead, he must work with
Congress in Withholding from the
enemy American gold.
Some papers claim that
Bayard made fool of himself in
England. AS comparison of
manufactured products of the
United States and Great Britain
will soon be in order again, it is
proper to insist that the raw ma
terial had already been reduced
before Mir. Bayard went to Eng
land.
There is good reason to be-
lieve the war cloud will pass
away, without more serious result
than some financial agitation. The
country can afford some temporary
inconvenience as the price of the
perpetuity of the Monroe Doctrine.
With 50, 900, 600, 900 capital invest
ed in this country, England will
hardly go to war over the Vene-
zuelan question, and invite the con-
| fiscation of interests immensely
vaster than those at stake there.
1t may be a little humillating to
the British to reflect that their
minister of Foreign Affairs in 1923
suggested the essential idea of
the Monroe Doctrine, as a blow at
the ''holy alliance" but they will
not attempt correction with the
sword now. Behind the thin and
shifting war cloud a clearer and
broader Americanism seems to
wait.

The Gospel Temperance meeting
at the Christian Church on the af-
ternoon of Dec. %, differed from
the ordinary temperance service
in that a very interesting and in
structive history of W. G. I. U.
work was given by Mrs. Bosworth.
The speaker told in very enter.

Crusade" that began in Hillsboro,
Ohio, just 22years ago, that rapid
ly spread to other Ohio towns and
cities, that closed great many
saloons in that state, and out of
which grew the National and In
National W. G. T. U. that,
through the years of it's existence,
has done so much for the cause of
temperance in the world. The
various lines OF work pursued by
this organization were touched
upon in the address; and to those
who had not kept themselves fully
informed, it was astonishing 10
discover how much work these
noble women have done, and what
encouraging results have followed.
The meeting was not as largely
attended as it ought to have been.
The writer is more and more de-
clded in his conviction that our
local w. C. T. u. deserves all the
encouragement which large at
tendance upon the semi-monthly
gospel meetings would give it.

in the city of New Orleans, Louis

Chancellor and at the convention
following, held in Toronto, Onta-
rio, in 1886, he was elected Su-

have accepted the situation philo-
sophically. Representative Payne,
of N. Y, merely keeps his old place
on the Ways and Means Committee,
the craftsmanship going to Repre-
sentative Dingley, of Maine, but
Mr.. Payne is given in addition the
craftsmanship of the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
which is an unusual honor, as
members of the Ways and Means
Committee are seldom given chair
manships. Cannon, of Ills., got
the craftsmanship of the Commit
tee on Appropriations, but Hender-
son, OF Iowa, his rival for that
honor, got much coveted place
on the Committee on Rules, as did
Dalzell, of Pa, who was at one
time thought to be in line for the
head of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. Walker, of Mass, got the
Banking and Currency chairman

Foreign Affairs, as it had been
understood all along they would,
but there were lots of surprises

Admiral Meade, q. S. N, in a
lecture on "The Caribbean Sea-
took occasion to say that he con-
sidered the superiority of the In
dlvldual vessels of our Navy an
offset for the excess of vessels in
the British Navy which was suffi-
cient to prevent any fear on our
part of a contest. He also said:

United States and Great Britain
come, the first shot fired in anger

Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, in
introducing a bill for the restora-
ton of the duty on wool, took oc
casion to notify the Senate that
ewould offer the bill asan amend
ment to any tariff bill that might
eported from the Finance Com
fmttee. But the general belief is
that Senator Mitchell will not be
put to that trouble, because any
bill amending the tariff that is re-
ported is likely to provide for
duty on wool.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Mr.. Cleveland made the hit of his
life when he sent that message in
favor of the Monroe doctrine to
Congress. But he mistook the
applause for himself and in his
egotism thought that because Con-
gress promptly adopted his recon-
mendatIon for the appointment of
a commission to ascertain the real
boundry between British Guiana
and Venezuela that it was ready
to do anything else he wanted
done. So he joined the British who
were trying to punish the United
States for during to stand up for
the Monroe doctrine by forcing US
into financial panic, and sent a
special message to Congress urg-
ing immediate financial legislation
and asking that no Christmas re-
cess be taken until some such
legislation as retiring the green
backs or authorizing an issue of
gold bonds should have been put
through.
In saying that it was Mr.. Cleve-
lands egotism that caused him to
write that fna9sial message it is
putting a very charitable construc-
ton upon his act. Others do not
hesitate to say that he did it be-
cause he was ratified by the Brit
ish attacks upon our finances and
by call which was issued by the
New York Chamber of Commerce
for meeting to condemn the Mon
roe doctrine message. He is said
to have sent a member of the cabi-
net to New York to prevent that
meeting and his messenger is re-
ported to have made deal where
by the meeting was declared off
and Mr.. Cleveland's hysterical
message was sent to Congress.
So far as Congress and the
American people are concerned,
the message will do neither good
nor harm Congress will provide
for the deficit with tariff legisla-
tion but it will unquestionably
do much harm to our interest in
1t will cause the British |
to think that Mr.. Cleveland has
become frightened and already re-
grets his belligerent message; and |
it will also encourage them to
keep up their scheming to throw
us into a financial panic. No
possible good can be accomplished |
by Congress remaining in session
during Christmas week, because
even if the House had already |
passed the measure which will be
from the Ways and Means
Committee, the Senate would not
be prepared to act on it until its
reorganization has been accom-
plished. The silver men in the
who have an unquestioned
say nothing can pass
that doesn't provide in some way
for more extended use of silver.

KILLED BY THREE THUGS
MASKED MEN COMMIT MURDER IN
a SALOON IN NEW YORK.

They Held Up the Proprietor and Bar
tender, Robbed the Money Drawer,
Killed a Man and Then Made Their
Escape-The Police Are Searching for
Them.
New York, Nov. 7.-Three masked
thieves entered the saloon of William
Walters, at Brown Place and Southern
Boulevard, tonight and shot and killed
Richard Pope, held up the proprietor
and bartender, robbed the money draw
er and escaped.
1t is said by the police that the Grim
inals were formerly employed by Buff
falo Bills Wild West show, which re-
Gently closed it's season at Atlanta, Ga.
The employees of the show arrived here
to-day ON their way to Bridgeport
Conn. A number of them were dis
charged at the railroad yard because
it was said, that the season had been
extraordinarily dull.
Before they entered the saloon the
thieves opened the front door and look
eQ IN, out seeing rev IueIl tHele tiAey
went around to the side door. Tying
handkerchiefs over their faces they stole
into the barroom and the leader of the
gang sprang suddenly in front of Pope
and yelled "hold UP your hands" Pope
refused to do this, and Selling chair
attempted to fight, but the robber pull
ed a pistol and fired The shot pene-
ly. The murdere's accomplices bran
dished pistols in front of the other men
in the saloon, who made no resistance,
Before Pope was shot the robbers fired
their pistols in the ceiling, where the
bullets lodged in the beams.
After the robbers had left, the men
in the saloon rushed out and gave the
alarm, and the police began to search
for the bandits.
