The only moral that can be drawn from

Those who know Senator Sherman arc
well aware that he has q long memory

forgive what he conceives to be treachery
to his interests, but he never forgets.
That Indian trait in his composition is
displayed in his book.-Cleveland Plain

Gov. Clarke has put himself in a ridicu-
lous attitude in view of the unconstitu-
tional positions he has taken. He is per-
fectly correct in what the Chancellor
would decide because he himself knows
that the law was unconstitutionally
passed. He had no right to any other
opinion. He was incorrect, however,
when he said he thought no other ipdge
in the State would render such an opin-
ion, for, in order to declare the law un-

A Washington dispatch says President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney are agreed
on the Venezuelan policy. The published
intimation that Secretary Olney intends
to resign because he has not been sup
ported by the President in his foreign pol
icy Is wholly discredited here, and per-
sons close to the Secretary insist that the
relations between him and the President
are of the most cordial and intimate ma
ture, and have been such since Mr.. Olney
assumed the administration of the State
Department. His visit to Boston is said
to have been required by pressing private
business, and he was enabled to plead an
excuse for his absence from the Atlanta
party on the ground that he would be
expected to accompany a number of diplo-
mats from Washington to Atlanta later
on to be present there on diplomatic day

San Francisco Call.
Great Britain does not care to discuss
the Monroe doctrine with reference to
Venezuela any more than to submit the
boundary dispute to arbitration, and for
precisely the same reason. She knows
she Is in the wrong and that her iniqui.
tous act Is best to be accomplished, IL

1t is to be hoped. that Venezuela. backed
by our Governsnffit, will demand the arbi-
tration Of England'sentirec claim, and will
not allow it to be limited to recent en-
croachments. If our Government does
not take this stand it will admit the right
of any European power to dismember or
take possession of any of our sister re-
publics in this hemisphere Con-
stitutiOn.
There is really but one course open to
tho Government and that il to insist Mt
the proper time-which seems to be very
near at hand-that Great Britain either
submit it's claim to Venezuelan territory
to arbitration or recognize the fact that
If forcibly asserted the force must be

Detroit Free Press.
The United States is so fully commit
ted to the Monroe doctrine that 1t cannot
afford to give it up permanently. In the
event that circumstances should compel
1t to forego it's assertion for the time be-
ing, it would be in duty bound to return
to the doctrine after it had placed itself
in position to maintain the theory in the
face of whatever opposition might be de-
veloped. To do otherwise would be to
lose it's prestige as great power.-Den-
yer Republican.
If our understanding of the matter be
correct the United States Government
has served notice on Great Britain that
the Monroe doctrine will for the future
be asserted-and maintained-with
promptitude and vigor; that European
encroachment on American soil will be
forbidden; that the Corinto incident will
not be repeated, and that the proposed
looting of Venezuela must be indefinitely
postponed. The only question that need
concern us, therefore, is that of England's
strict compliance with our program. We
are always glad to hear from England,
of course, but we can wait. She must
keep hands off in Venezuela, that is ALL

ST. PAUL CARS TIED UP.
Boy Thieves Disable Seventy-five Pas
senger Coaches.


There are three boys in Chicago who
can give Lessons in the fine art of tying up
a railroad system. The eldest of the
three is but IA years old. They claim no
excessive allowance of gray matter, yet
they managed Friday seriously TO incon-
venience the local service of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Road. Then
they managed to get into Jail, and this
without the tangling features of injunc-
tons, Federal courts or habeas corpus
actions. Seventy-6ve passenger coaches,
lying in thelSt. Paul yards, were dis
abled by these three youngsters, who
went out on raid for brass and other
metals which they hoped would bring
them monetary reward in neighboring
junk shops. The three precious conspira-
tors proceeded along Kinzie street shortly
before daylight and tore from each coach
that was side-tracked the brass Jennings
that are part of the steam-heating and
air-brake connections. A few hours after
ward, when the employees of the road APP
peared to make up the trains for the day.
they found the coaches dismantled and
practically put out of service.

BIG FIGHT OFF.

No Loop Hole in Law to Permit the
Meeting.
The Fitzsimmons-Corbett fight will not
come off after all, either ut Hot Springs
or anywhere else. What Gov. Clarke has
endeavored to accomplish was done Mon
day by the Florida Athletic Club when it
declared the fight off. Corbett and his
manager wanted to postpone until the
present excited opposition to the affair
had died out and a meeting could be ar
ranged on the quiet. Fitzsimmons OBJ
jected to this, and declared for what he
knew was impossible under the law.
Each Of the principals is already busy
calling the other coward and liar, and
preparing for the stage tour which after
all was the paramount and pre-arranged
object Of the projected fight.

stormed the Seneca County Jail at Tiffin,
Ohio, early Sunday morning in an effort

CONCORD, N. H, Aug. II.
"To the Inter state Commerce Commits
sion:
"GentIemen:-The New York Tribune of
yesterday announces the meeting in that
city of the sixteen presidents appointed
by the Trunk Line association to formu
late a means for maintaining eastbound
and westbound rates, and says that an
agreement has been reached to be finally
considered in September, it being in the
meantime an evident improperly to make
known the details of the arrangement.
These agreements to prevent low and
to secure high rates of railroad transpor-
tation have been under consideration for
several months The combination will be
the greatest association of capital which
America, perhaps the world, has ever
known. 1t embraces all the American
lines between Chicago and the west and
New York and the east and also the
Grand Trunk railway. of Canada; doubt
less covering sS,OO0,00O000 of organized
money.
1.-The Canadian Pacific road is not in
Guided, fortunately for New England. The
object is to abolish competition on freight
and passenger rates, to guard against any
complish as soon as the traffic will bear
it, a raising of the present charges.
I'm view of the immense interests in
volved affecting the public who are to
pay as well as the railroads which are
to receive the sums charged for trans
portation by the different companies
constituting this great combination,
desire to ask whether the interstate COM
merce commission as the appropriate and
faithful guardian OF the rights of the
people, as against railroad exactions, is
watching and investigating the steps
taken by the present combination for the
purpose of discovering whether its pro-
posed agreements would be in accord
ance with the common law and with the
statutes of the United States against
pooling and trusts, and with the view
if they are illegal to preventing, If pos
sible their contamination, instead of al
lowing them to enter, unresisted in fun
operation"
THE Tribune says the counsel for the
companies will see that the agreement
complies with the law of all the states:
as well as those of the United States.
While the attorneys for the railroads
are working to this end, it seems i'm
perative that the officers of the United
States should also labor to see that II the
agreement is unlawful it Shall be kept
from going into effect. 1t seems to me
that all laws against any kind of monop-
olies and trusts, whether enacted by
state or nation, will be insignificant and
worthless if this gigantic railroad trust
can not be defeated.-Very respectfully,
