Another Message.

The Presidents message on the
Venezuela question was the allah
sorbing topic throughout the coun-
try and the people were discussing
the probabilities Of war with Eng
land when, on Friday last, Mr..
Cleveland sent another message to
Congress which to the ears of the
Republican majority sounded like
the alarm of the fire-bell at night
Congress was preparing for the usual
holiday adjournment when the mes
sage came very abruptly calling a
halt, declaring that a crisis was at
hand and insisting that there should
be no adjournment until something
had been done to check the run on
the gold reserve now reduced to less
than S65,000,000. Mr.. Cleveland re-
minds the Congress that we are in
the midst of another season of per-
pleXity, caused by our dangerous
and fatuous financial operations, and
insists upon the speedy adoption of
an adequate remedy.
The message produced consterna-
ton among the members and there
were many hurried conferences and
fruitleSs suggestions as to what
should or could DO done. Some de-
clared that the President was panic
stricken and all were out of humor.
Still they dare not adjourn and all
thought of doing so has been aban-
doned. The question now is, what
will they, or rather, what can they
do? Neither party is willing to re-
tire the greonbacks and treasury
notes, as recommended by the Presi-
dent, the Democrats and Populists
are unwilling to enlarge the powers
OF the National banks, and there can
be no agreement in regard to silver,
so that just now it is utterly impos-
sible for any one to predict what
will or can be done to relieve the un-
fortunate situation so clearly pre-
sented by the President in his re-
cent annual message and again en-
phasized in his message Of last Fri
day. The President seems to have
the whip hand Of the Republican
majority, and, presenting the situa-
ton brought about by their own leg
islation, he demands remedy which
they seem powerless to afford. We
shall hope for some satisfactory So
tuition of the difficulty now confront
ing Congress.

Talk of War.

The splendid message sent to Con-
gress by Mr.. Cleveland last week on
the Venezuelan question and re-af-
hrmlng the Monroe doctrine in such
vigorous terms, met the hearty en-
dorsement of the entire country
Members of the Senate and House.
regardless of party, were enthusiastic
In their approval of the firm stand
taken by the President and were
unanimous i'm declaring their inten-
ton to stand by him in his deter
mination to enforce the principle of
the Monroe doctrine.
MIR. Cleveland desired Lord Sails
bury to understand that this govern
ment would not permit England or
any other European power to extend
its domain on this side Of the At
lantic, and, as Salisbury had declined
to submit the disputed boundary line
question to arbitration, as suggested
by this government, the President
recommended to Congress the ap-
pointment of commission to ascer-
tain the facts in regard to the line in
dispute, and if ii shall appear that
England, under guise of settling a
disputed boundary line, is really try
ing wrongfully to extend her domain
in South America, then the Presi.
dent urges firm resistance by the
United States, even if ii should ne.
cessitate resort to arms. The re-
fusal Of the British government to
arbitrate the question and the stand
taken by the administration led to a
good deal of talk about a war be-
tween the two countries, and various
resolutions were at once introduced
In Congress with view to strength
ening the military and naval forces
OF the country 80 as to put them on
q better war footing.
Both houses of Congress promptly
passed bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint the commission and
appropriating 500, 900 to defray the
expense thereof. How long it will
take this commission to ascertain the
facts and make it's report to the
President we do not know-probably
SIX months. In the meantime the
excitement produced by the message
and the publication Of the cores
pondence between the two govern
ments will probably die out, though
the bare possibility of war with
England may lead to large appropria-
tions by this Congress to strengthen
our seacoast defenses.

MR.. BAYARD.-The first political
debate of the session was sprung in
the House on a resolution offered by
Representative Barrett (Itepublican)
of Massachusetts to impeach the
Hon. Thos. +. Bayard, Ambassador
to England, on account Of speech
made by him at Glasgow, Scotland,
in November, assailing the pr0tec-
tive system, which he described as
form of State socialism which, he be.
lieved, had done more to foster class
Legislation and create inequality of
fortune, to corrupt public life, to
Danish men of Independent mind
and character from the public C0un-
ellis, to lower the tone Of national
representation, blunt the public con-
science, create false standards i'm the
popular mind, familiarize it with re-
lance upon State aid and guardian
ship in private affairs, divorce ethics
from politics, and place politics upon
the low level of a mercenary scram-
BILE, than any other cause. Ambas-
sador Bayard, like all other citizens
of free country, is entitled to free
dom of speech; yet, when his posi-
ton as the representative Of this
government in foreign country is
considered, we think his assault upon
the laws of his own country was, to
say the least, indiscreet, although all
he said was true. An impeachment,
however, would be out of all proper
ton to the character of the 0ffense,
if Otfense it was, so the House very
properly struck out that clause in
Mr.. Barrett's resolution which di-
rected the committee, to which it
was referred, to report by lmpcach-
ment. There was more politics than
patriotism in the Barrett resolution
more huncombe than good sense.
Mr.. Bayard's blow was hard one,
and struck the G. O. =. squarcly in
the face.

THERE WILL BE NO WAR; Eng

do so, and we predict that Salisbury
will yield rather than risk the
consequences of general war i'm
which war with the United States
may embroil his country. War with
us may ruin the splendid colonial
empire of Great Britain. France
will seize the opportunity to settle
questions in regard to England's

STA has long been eager to advance
her frontier in the direction of India.
The opportunity war with us would
present would hardly be neglected

States, France and Russia to deal
with, England would find that she
had on hand more than she had bar.
gained for. Then, too, there is
Canada which Uncle Sam would hold

and self-willed but he will yield in
the end.
