war is settlement between
ENGLAND and Nanaauala for tha PraSi-

war is q settlement between
England and Venezuela, for the Presi-
dent expressly says in his message that
any adjustment of the boundary which
Venezuela may deem for her advantage
and may enter into of her own free will,
cannot Of course be objected to by the
! United States" But solution of the
question in that way is not at all proba-
! BILE. Venezuela has all along been ready
to fight, She will certainly be no less
ready now that she sees that she is likely
| to get the assistance of the United States.
| Our government might bring pressure to
bear upon her to settle with England
amicably, which could only be done by
| renouncing her claim to territory east OF
the Schomb urk line, but after our public
proclamation that proceeding would con-
Wet US of duplicity and cowardice.
The third thing which may avert war
is retreat on the part of the Salisbury
government. The masses of the English
people are not very much intere sted in
this boundary district There is to them
no vital principal at stake. Up to a very
recent period they have taken no interest
in it whatever, regarding it merely dis
pute over few square miles of territory
The question now presented to them is
whether they care enough about this ter
ritury, whether it is valuable enough, to
go to war with nation of go, 000,000 of
people to get it, when it might be had if
their right to it be we'll founded by the
simple and inexpensive process of arbi-
tration. Of course there is an abundance
of national pride in England as in this
country, but the people are not hot head
ed and are not prone to rush into war
with an equal except for the most
weighty reason. They generally count
| the cost and weigh the probable results
pretty carefully, and though when they
| have once definitely made up their minds
they are tenacious and persistent, they
| like to feel that they ara conteDding for
something of value. Their business in
telligence which is very highly oultiyat-
ed is against sacrificing millions upon
millions unless there is some great princi-
pie at stake or they see more millions
comingSback in the future. In this case
there is no great principle involved. and
certainly there is no prospect of much Of
a return upon the investment.
The situation is grave, but war is by
no means inevitable. Neither country
has yet burned all the brlnges behind
| its

Preparation for war will not tend to
bring on war, but rather to avert it.
Therefore it will do no harm, but per-
haps much good, to promptly pass Mr..
Chandler's bill authorizing the Presi-
dent to purchase arms and ammunition.
AS England apparently thinks the Presi-
dents message is pure bluff, it may have
trary, and that can best be done by max
ing active preparations for any contin-
gency that may arise.

State Master Wiggin of the Grange is
still harping on the listing bill. He is as
firm as ever in the belief that the princi-
pie Of the bill is correct. He may be
right in that, but experience has demon
strated over and over again that it will
not work. Wherever it has been applied
the result has been more inequality of
taxation than before. The people who
have been muleted by it are the widows
and orphans, while the people against
whom it was especially aimed have al
most invariably escaped.

3 1t is very significant fact that while
the Republican members of Congress as q
rule are disposed to treat the Presidents
message as a sincere utterance on the
question at issue without any ulterio
motive good many Of the Democrats are
inclined to regard it as bid for renomi-
nation. One Democratic Senator likens it
TO his message of retaliation against
Canada in 1888. The applause on the
Democratic side of the Senate when the
message was read was much less than on
the Republican side, and the comments
of the Democratic Senators were much
more guarded. Senator Gray, one of the
Presidents strongest friends and support
ers in the past, absolutely refused to ex-
press any opinion, and Senator Brice sug-
gested there might be politics in it by
saying that it looked as if no Republican
convention would be needed next year,
as war meant Cleveland for four years

The criticism which Representative
Boutelle makes on the paragraph in the
Presidents message in which he says
that any settlement which Venezuela
may make would be accepted by US, has
a good deal oflforoeIin it. To permit the
South American republics to turn their
territory over to European powers would
be quite as dangerous to us as to allow
them to acquire it by FORCE In this par
ticular case the President could safely
take the ground he did because Vene-
zuela is not disposed to surrender any
of her territory, but broadened out into
a general proposition it would not be a
safe position to assume, unless we are
ready to abandon the Monroe doctrine.

Sleeves retain their boufrant effect

withstanding the fabrics Of which
they are made are as light as the sum-

most in favor for interlining both

The only lining material which has

he refused tempting offer of the Chinese
Government to so TO China TO supeflhtehu

ed instead the superintendenoy OF the
Winchester-Arms Co.. at New Haven, at
salary of $500 year.
1t was after this long term Of active

himself incapacitated for further service

Belchertown, Mass, where ne now iiyes
and own the Phelps farm, retired spot
where he has 500 acres of land.
Being man of means he did not spare
the cost and was treated by leading phy-
sicians and by baths at celebrated springs
without receiving any benefit worth no.
tice During the summer of 1898 and the
winter of 1894 Mr.. Clougi was confined
to his house in Belchertown, being unable
TO rise from his bed without assistance,
and suffering continually with acute pains
and with no taste or desire for food, nor
was he able tc obtain sufficient sleep.
Early in the year 1894 Mr. Clough
heard of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People He began taking these pills
about the first of March. 1894, and con-
tinued to do so until the first part of Sep
temler following The first effect no
ticed was better appetite, and he began
to note more ability to help himself of
the bed and to be better generally. Last
August i1S94l he was able TO 90 alone to
his summer residence and farm of l63
acres on Grenadier Island, among the
Thousand Islands, in the River st. Law
renee. where from the highest land OF his
farm he commands n view for thirteen
miles down the river, and sixty Of the
Thousand Islands can be seen.
Instead Of being confined to his bed MIR.
Clough is now aud has been for some time
able TO be about the farm to direct the
men employed there. and he is thankful
for what DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
done for him.
