The determination to-day notwith
standing the hullabaloo in certain
quarters, to stand by the prohibitory
law. is firmer than ever before. We
believe this determination will be
very visibly made manifest. It will
appear in the demand that the officers
of the law, from the chief executive
downward, shall regard their oaths
and enforce this law in every part of
the State. and make an end of the dis
graceful spectacle Of wanton and de-
faint violation of a statute so frequent
ly and imperatively affirmed.
The law abiding people of Vermont
demand that the laws be enforced, i'm
partially, efficiently, without favor or
fear, against offenders of every rank
and quality, in every part of the
State; and we believe they will find
ways to impress this demand upon the
attention of officials whose lack of
courage, or sense of duty, or criminal
unfaithfu7ness have become a re-
proach and scandal to the State
Wdtchma1.

NOT TOO EASY.

That is an Interesting story which
comes to us from Washington regard
ing the Venezuelan situation. While
we may take with grain of salt the
statement that President Crespos is
prepared to mobilize well equipped
army of 100, 600 men, we must not lose
sight of the underlying facts which
warrant the belief that England would
find the Orinoco Republic an unpleas-
ant opponent to deal with in case of
hostilities. OF course, it must be adj
mitted that England would win in
such a contest, but she would win on
ly at great cost.
Great Britain cannot look back up
on year of perfect peace for many
generations, yet it is, nevertheless,
true that she is not prepared by ex-
perience for a serious contest. Her
enemies have as a rule been undis-
ciplined or uncivilized, and, even
then, have only been subdued with
difficulty Venezuelans are experience
ed fighters, constant revolutions hav-
ing trained the people to be human
gamecocks. They are a more sturdy
stock than the Cubans, and are very
much better organized. The Vene-
zuelan army is fairly we'll equipped,

be limited to the furthering of the
roads business interests and within
those limits there will be no bounds to
their enterprise.

THE CANAL REPORT.

If the latest reports about the re-
suit of the examination of the Nicara-
qua canal project, by the board ap-
pointed under toe recommendation
of congress, are correctly stated in
the news columns of the press, that
scheme may be considered dead, as a
| government enterprise, or, at least,
| postponed for a couple of years.
| The commission is said to report
that it is not possible to say, definite
| ly,whether the canal can be construct
| ed until further data can be collected,
and it recommends an appropriation
of $3.50, 900 for surveys and other in
and a half. One gathers from the
news aforesaid that the principal rea-
son for this report is that the board
| fears-though the result Of the pro-
posed investigation might do away
with the fear-that the proposed dam
on the San Juan river would break, in
time of heavy rains, and destroy the
work between there and Greytown, to-
gether with the town itself.
Assuming, however, that this would
not be the case, the board estimate
the cost of the canal at a hundred and
thirty three and a half millions, or
nearly double the estimate of the
company This reveals something
grossly wrong in the figures of one
or the other, a wrong that any expe-
rienced contractor, after looking over
the ground, should be able to point
out.
1t shonld not be forgotten that this
canal scheme has been before the eye
of the world for forty years, and it is
queer, indeed, that, if there actually
is the grave danger of destruction by
floods pointed out by this commission,
it has not been made manifest before.
The president is said to be now con-
sidering this adverse report in connec-
ton with his message. If it is what
it is represented to be, the result will
probably be either the construction
of the canal by an English company,
or it's postponement for a century, by
the completion, in some form, of the
Panama scheme, if, indeed, that is
practicable at all. Put this report, as
outlined, with recent statements of
the Englishmen, Mr.. Colquhoun, and
see if this be not the conclusion to
which they point Traveller.
For the first time in the history of
Oriental politics, the six great Powers
of Europe are thoroughly in accord
and acting in concert in bringing the
Ottoman Government to it's senses.
Their combined fleets have sailed for
Turkish waters, with the object of i'm
pressing upon the Porte that the
civilized world will no longer put up
with mere promises of reform, but
requires the immediate execution of
long unfulflled pledges. The pro-
iected naval demonstration of the
Powers at Constantinople may be re-
lied upon to bring matters to a crisis.
For it will prove to the Turks that
Europe is in earnest AS we'll as in ac
cord, while it may likewise serve to
strengthen the position of the we'll
intentioned, but unfortunate Sultan,
by proving to his heges that if he
yields to the Unbelievers it is not by
inclination, as they allege, but under
compulsion.
