Colfax Commoner What can the re-
publicans in congress do to mend affairs
What is their plan Of procedure? There
has been a great deal of talk about the
tariff, but very few people think there
will be any legislation on that subject.
The one who will be especially opposed
to tariff agitation is the man who will
tyranize over that branch of congress in
which tariff legislation must arise. What
can be done on the money question?
There Is no prospect Of practical action
on that subject. Even il the president
were an out-and-out republican it would
not be looked upon as polite to tinker
the finances just before presidential
campaign. Something must be left to
the subject of buncombe resolutions.
Besides. the policy Of the directors of the
republican party touching finances is al
most identical with that OF the present
administration. 1t is to borrow money
to maintain fictitious gold resumption for
the benefit of dealers in money.
We hear that the country has been,
and still is, in distressed condition on
account Of democratic rule. Republicans
have been elected to office as a remedy.
What can they do? Can they "hurry
up" the law Of nature? Can they restore
speculative values? Can they find q
market for overproduction Can they
bring back the good old times when half
dozen men could make fortune q
piece in day, on the same town lot, by
having the deed books printed in ad-
vance? Can they collect population and
agriculture around streaks OF rust ?"
Or is 1t their purpose to loaf along till
times get good "of their own accord"
and in the natural development, and
then claim all the glory.
Any body could do that.
The fact is, fellow citizens, the element
of luck enters into politics very largely.
II the democratic presidential ticket
had been defeated in 1892, instead Of
elected, the democrats would have swept
the country this year, and the presiden-
tIal contest would have been 80 lopsided
in favor of the democracy that the republic
cans might not have gone to the expense
OF holding convention.

Squire of Washington today introduced
an important bill to provide a general
system of Notifications for coast defense.
It appropriates $s7 ,000, 900, to be expena-
ed during the next II years at the i'm
portant ports of the country, such as New
York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New
Orleans and others, not only on the sea-
coast, but on the Great Lakes, the navi-
gable rivers and estuaries of the sea, such
as Puget sound. and Hampton roads. In
presenting the bill, Squire dwelt upon
the necessity of providing adequate pro-
lection to the country. He stated that
the provisions of the bill were in accord
ance with the recommendations OF the
board appointed by the president under
the act OF 1885, and said that the scheme
was one which had the Enforcement OF
many expert engineers and high officials,
including the secretary Of war and the
commanding general Of the army. The
bill has also the approval and was drawn
in accordance with the views aud after
consultation with the chief of ordnance

The Venezuela question.

II is possible that there never was
case when the United States needed to
watch her English cousins more closely,
and to announce her Monroe doctrine
more vigorously than in this international
dispute over the boundry line between
Venezuela and British Guiana. II Eng
land succeeds. it means a loss to Venezu-
ella of territory as large as the state OF
New York, and Of gold deposits which
are believed to be the richest in South
America, and what is more important, it
means the entire control by the English
OF the mouth and 400 miles OF the 0rinoco
river. The question is one of historical
records and maps, and nothing else.
Great Britain fell heir to the rights form
ery possessed by Holland. Venezuela
obtained by conquest the lands formerly
held by Spain. The problem to be solved
is to find what were the possessions of
Holland and Spain, and SO settle what is
to-day the territory of England and Vene-
zuela. Year after year Great Britain has
pushed her way westward, until she has
advanced her claims over territory of
10000 square miles. and has included
Barima point, at the entrance to the ORR
noco. She has refused to recede or to ar
bitrate, and she should be made either to
submit to the latter method OF settling
the dispute or be sent back to the Pome-
room river, where she was content to rest
her claims in l840. II the Monroe doc
trine does not apply in this case, it has
never meant anything in the past, and
will not mean much in the future.--Rich-
ard Harding Davis. in Harper's.

SOCIAL GOSSIP

.Jacksonvi1le, Ala, has club composed ofyoung ladies' which bears the name of tke Bachelor Girls club. It seems, how ever, that these young ladies have banded tHemselves together, not for the purpose, as the name would suggest of waging osfensive and defensive warfare against the sterner sex, but quite the contrary. The Jacksonville Republican, in speak ing of the club, says:
 @The club is continually seeking an op- pprtunity to do good. Among the noble tEings which it has done, 1t sent this week 10 all the churches in town suffi- cfsnt amount of coal to last them during the winter. This thoughtfulness on the p4rt of the club we are sure will be ap- pmciated by all the churches"
 
 New York society is waiting inpatient 1yafor the night of August 2S, when Mrs. Aiya Vanderbilt will give a gorgeous en. teftainment at her marble palace" at Newport says an exchange, for her daughter. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. All the world of society is waiting to see who will and who will not accept Mrs. Van derbilts invitations for the coming out ball. The talk that MT. William K. van defbi1t intends to give magnificent en- teRtainment on the same night on ms steam yacht Valiant, adds additional interest to the affair. It is an open se- cret that Mrs. Vanderbilt has lost much of her social status since her divorce, which separation has been resented by the family of her husband. The coming fete has very generally recalled the Iact that this will be the second Vanderbilt bah given as test of social prestige, and every one remembers the splendor of that first affair, a costume ball given at the Fifth avenue residence. Mrs. Ava Van heFbilt is a southern woman. She was Miss Smith of Mobile.
