compliments of our worthy uncle

WINSTON, N. G.

Mr.. Olney is the champion of Vene-
zuela, and the South American repub-
lies generally, because, as he says,
"rhey are our friends and allies COM
mercially and politically" and because
'the people of the United States have
vital interest in the cause of popular
self-government." These States may be
our friends-though the last serious dis
pute with any foreign power now recall
ed was with one of them-but they are
far from being pre-eminently our COM
mercial or political allies. Our trade with
Great Britain is much more than that
with all of them put together, and al
though republics in name, they are in
the words of another, for the most part
military relationships, tempered by
periodical revolutions" This is literally
the case with Venezuela, which is prob
ably the worst governed State in Christ
endom, and really far less truly a
republic than monarchical England.
Yet it is in behalf of the alleged rights
of the former, as against the latter, that
the Jingoes want us to fight. They tell
us that Britain must be wrong because
she refuses to submit her claim to arbi-
tration, yet it is only in regard to part
of it that she declines. While her re-
fusal should not surprise any unpreju-
diced person, it is to be remembered
that she has not declared that her
proofs are closed to friendly inspection
on polite request from this, or any
other power, and they would not be.
1t is for not making such.a request, and
for substituting an imperative demand
for arbitration, and, in default of that,
a threat of war, that the President and
his Secretary of State are now on
trial at the bar of public opinion in this
and other lands. L. M. B.
