THERE is no sign of indecent haste
about the Venezuelan matter. Our pro-
test was sent to London last August,
and Lord Salisbury's reply has just been
received. As the President is off duck
hunting, and will not be back for a
week at least, the greatest mystery is
maintained at the State Department as
to its contents, and not a syllable is al
lowed to leak out. Some of the attaches
of the Department have gone so far as to
actually tell falsehoods about the British
ambassadors visit to Secretary Clney
with it, and assert that the Secretary was
out of the building, when everybody
knew that he was closeted with Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote, listening to the reading
of the precious missive in the En-
bassador's rich, hating British drawl.
Really, the exact tone Of the answer is
not at all important. We all know pre-
cisely what Lord Salisbury says. He
plays the usual diplomatic game. He
denies that Great Britain has taken any
Venezuelan territory, and objects to our
interference. This is merely feeler,
to see how much in earnest we are, and
to draw out our State Department. If
we accept his bluff and back down he
will be jubilant- If we stiffen up and
talk squarely he will give several months
more to the consideration of our answer,
and then write us another note, intended
to get twist on us in another way. So
it will go on for months, until everybody
interested die Of old age, unless we take
decided steps to secure settlement.

LAWRENCE, Feb. 19.-An affair oc-
Cured at the university last Friday
which has hitherto been carefully con-
cealed. In a scuffle among some of the
students, John Hail shot Jack Lamar in
the breast with a pistol, the bullet lodg
ing just under the skin.
The seniors gave party in the BAN
Quet hall of the Spooner library on that
evening, to which a few friends were in
vited. The juniors thought to have some
sport out of the affair, SO they appeared
at the door of the library and captured
the innocent seniors as they arrived
| The ladies were allowed to enter IN
molested. but the boys were taken away
| and from each part of his shirt was
cut. 1t was in one of these scuff1es that
John Hall, senior, became excited and
pulled out his pistol, pointing it
at crowd of juniors. Just
as he pulled the trigger, Harry
Maxwell aimed blow at him which
Lamar on the right breast, going through
two coats and two shirts and lodging just
under the skin.
There was much excitement for q
time
Hall was never thought to be vicious,
as he is prominent in religious circles
here. He is not a fraternity man. AS
yet no action has been taken in the mat
ter by the faculty or the students.
Hall is very badly frightened at what
he did, but thinks he was justified in
shooting at the crowd.
There were many funny incidents con-
nected with the evenings happenings

WHO IS TO BLAME?

When things go wrong there is nearly
always an effort to place the blame on
somebody else besides ourselves. This
is especially true in politics. Hence it Is
that the Democrats place the RESPONSE
bIlity for the present demoralized condi-
ton of public affairs at the door OF the
Republicans, while the latter are equully
certain that it is all owing to the wicked
Democrats. The Populists say it is both.
There is an occasional exception to
this rule, and among them is the Pitts
burg Dispatch, q staunch Republican
paper. Discussing this question edl-
toria.Iy it says:
The people, in order to fully under
stand the source of the trouble, must
recognize that the process which has
drained the treasury and injured the ma
tional credit commenced with the lavish
appropriations and the reckless policy of
the Republican congress in 1890, and has
been aggravated by the same extrav-
aganees and greater stupidity OF the
Democratic regime.
The Republican congress which scat
tered the surplus; which reduced reve-
| nue. to the level of former expenditures.
and at the same time expanded expendl-
which endeavored to conceal the deficit
it had created by such juggling as that
of laying hands on the trust fund OF ma
tional bank deposits for the redemption
of their notes, has the responsibility for
beginning the process of depicting a
/ treasury which before had been full to
OVERLOOKING. The Democratic regime
has the responsibility of continuing to
spend more than the revenues, OF using
, \. -
penses, of muddling nearly every tinan-
cial question, and of failing in every at
| tempt at remedial legislation.
The plain truth of the matter is that
the present difficulties of the treasury
are due to the incapacity and lack of
principle displayed by politicians, with
out regard to party lines.
The key to the situation is found in
the last paragraph. It is lack of prin.
ciple on the part of politicians. In
cluded in that is the fact that the east
has shaped the policy and the actions of
both parties ever since the close of the
war. The west and the south, though
largely in the majority and possessing a
community of interests, have allowed the
east to shape the course of legislation
and to build platforms for the parties.
We must carry New York, you know,
and as goes New York SO goes Con-
neticut and New Jersey. So the party
platforms have been constructed to suit
New York and one candidate on each
ticket has been chosen from New York
and the legislation of the country has
been shaped to suit New York, and be-
hold the result
There can be no improvement unit
western and southern members of con
gress throw aside all partisanship wher
it comes to business matters such as tbs
currency and the tariff 1t has beer
clearly demonstrated that it is useless tc
put any party in entire control of tn,
government as long as it allows itself t.
be dominated by the east.

LII WAS DECEIVED.
The Recent Insurrection Was Not in Hel
Interest.

The Recent InsurrectiOn Was Not In Her
Interest.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Feb. 90
James Faulkner, a Hawaiian refugee,
came up from Honolulu as a stowaway
on the steamer Puritan and admits hav-
ing taken a part in the uprising. He
says it was the intention of the real lead
ers of the instruction to overthrow the
government and not reinstate the queen,
but to put in new leaders of the republic.
About the time the government was
prematurely informed of the plot the
queen and her supporters we're ap-
praised of the duplicity, and that was
the true reason she so promptly alb
Dictated.
Faulkner says the schooner Wahlburg
and another vessel landed 1900 rifles and
1,O00 pistols, of which, up to last advices,
less than one third had been found, and
he prephesied that the remainder will be
kept for future insurrectonary uses.
He further declares the bombs found
in the building near Washington Place
were intended to be thrown into the DO
lice station and military barracks and
not for the purpose of destroying the
church, as previously reported. Among
the royaIists, of which he is member,
it is generally known that Spreekles was
strongly in sympathy with the uprising

Gov. Lewel1ing Wasn't Through With His
Sentimental Fad of Letting Out COnvicts.
Ex-Governor Lewelling appeared be-
fore Governor Morrill, yesterday in behalf
of a Wichita man, George Tankersly,
who is now in the penitentiary.
The visit was a successful one and be-
fore he left the executive Office Governor
Morrill, signed the papers committing
Tankersly's sentence from ten to five
years. 1t seems Governor Lewelling had
intended to pardon this man but had
overlooked it in the closing up of his
official career. The ex-governor's bump
of maudlin sentimentality is about as big
as a house. He ran his whole admins
tratiOn on it.

THE result of yesterdays election in
Philadelphia, demonstrates two impor-
tant points: One is that anything with
the word Democracy attached to it, is
doomed to overwhelming defeat The
other is that municipal leagues should
not attempt to control elections until
they are in position to control them;
that is, until they have a known MAORI
ty of the citizens in their organizations
Their work should be wholly education
