The statement from Paris from Senator
Lodge on the Venezuelan situation and
the attitude Of Great Britain is attracting
attention at the National Capitol. The
Washington Post (Dem.) of last Sunday
morning. in reprinting the despatch, says
editorialy:
"Mr. Lodge has made a special study
OF our foreign relations, and particularly
of that phase of them which is touched
by British encroachments upon American
soil. Thus he speaks with information
as well as with the spirit of true Ameri
canism he says what Cuckoos and An
glomaniacs gleve to hear, but what glad
dens every patriotic heart and gives fresh
impulse to mems pride of country. We
commend Mr.. Lodges utterance to gen
eral perusal and to thoughtful considera-
ton. Utterances of this kind seem to be
needed very imminently in certain quar-
ters we could name.''

The Bath Times recently devoted a
scorchng editorial to the daily papers Of
New York city the tenor Of which NAV be
inferred from the following paragraph:
The Tribune is about the only one Of
the lot, of any prominence, that man
can feel safe in regularly taking into his
house. OF the brood of Sewer Gazettes,
like the Morning Journal, which has late
ly been purchased by John R. Mclean.
who made the Enquirer notorious even in
Cincinnati, it is unnecessary to say any,
thing save that they stink in the nostrils
OF all decent people
The commentator Of the Tribune is
well deserved. Were it not we should
not offer it to our readers in connection
with subscription to The Journal-both

The Boston journal and Boston Herald
naturally take different views Of the Pres
idenlial situation. For example the Jour
nal says:
1t looks very Mckinleyish.
While the Herald begins with ssit looks
very, and then names another candidate.
This is the Herald's view:
1t looks very much as if there were a
growing feeling in the Republican party
in favor Of William B. Allison as its next
candidate for the presidency.
Per contra. in recent interview, pub
lished in the Portland Express, Senator
Frye said:
The outlook for Mr.. Reeds nomination
at present is exceptionally good. With
New England a unit for him, with the in
dications that Platt and Quay prefer him
to either of the more prominent candi-
dates in the field, he will go into the con-
vention with support large enough to be
attractive to the element always anxious
to get on the winning side.
In the W. c. T. U. National convention
at Baltimore, Oct. 23d, the following reso-
luton was adopted:
Resolved, That Catholic women and
Hebrew women should be invited to send
fraternal delegates from their annual con
ventions to ours and establish branches of
the White Ribbon Society within their
own borders
The Associated Press despatch says:
One of the delegates suggested it might
not be to consistent for the Woman S
Christian Temperance Union to ask He
brews to affiliate. She laid special empha-
sis on the word ''Christian." This arous-
ed Miss Willard. She called the vice

Charles Day Rose has cabled the New
ork Yacht Club that he withdraws his
challenge for the Americas cup. The
general impression is that there will be no
race tor the Americas cup next year.
Evidently Dunraven has been getting in
some of his work on the other side. and
as ''spoil-sport'' he is a complete sue
cess. He continues to fill the English pa
pers with his rawlings, and in one Of numer-
Gus interviews has intimated that he
would like to meet the Defender in the
Mediterranean, at the same time express
ing doubt as to her ability to cross the
ocean. 1t is to be hoped that no American
yachtsman will ever condescend to meet
Dunraven anywhere, under any circum-
stances, and that he will receive no future
recognition from any American yacht
club. OF all the English yachtsmen who
have contested for the Americas cup he
is the only one who proved to be neither
Sportsman nor gentleman.

as many spectators as wish 20 attend. The
federation holds IT'S meetings IN pubic,

More delegates than have ever before

been invited 10 attend.

preparations. The numerous leaders. wise
from experience in former combats, have
formed plans which will be discussed in
the coming convention.
The plan OF attack To be pursued next
spring may be somewhat different from
those which have been tried before. IL
has been proposed that some one strong
organization be selected 10 make the first
demand for an eight-hour day, and bear
the brunt Of the battle, being supported
meanwhile by the entire federation.
While this has not been decided definitely.
It IS most likely that such a course will
BE- adopted.
II this be the case the federated metal
trades Will probably be the branch TO be
selected. At the second annual confer
enCe Of the metal trades held in October
at Chicago there was a good deal of eight
hour agitation. This was followed by
poll of the entire organization on the
question OF making a general demand.
The metal workers all over the country
voted. and there was much enthusiasm ex-
pressed in favor OF the project.
The total membership Of the metal
trades is something like 1900 Promin-
ent among the organizations thus affii-
ated are the iron molders. with a mem
bership OF II. 900. the iron and steel work
ers. with 6o.o00: the machinists, with TO-
ooo: the iron shpbuilders. with 1850. and
the brass workers. with 2O00
This is TO hc the nature of the entering
wedge. II will be an iron wedge indeed.
