IT CAN NOT ceUe ITS TERRITORY
Forbidden by a Clause in the Constitu-
tiOn Of Venezuela.

ny Oidu-G III TIC 1OnStiIu-
tion ct Venezuela.
Chicago Record: There is a clause i'm
the constitution of Venezuela which for
bids the cession of any territory, so that
the government could not yield it's title
to any portion of the disputed area until
it had been formally decided by some
competent authority that it belonged to
Great Britain. This fact is important in
view of the position Senator Gray has
taken in the discussion of the Monroe
doctrine resolution in the senate. He holds
that the Monroe doctrine does not apply
to amicable settlements concerning boun-
dairy lines or any amicable agreements
concerning the cessiOn or occupation of
territory between Venezuela and Great
Britain or any other of the American re-
publics and the European powers In
other words, if Venezuela or any other
of our neighbors in South America should
consent willingly to cede all or any por-
ton of it's territory to Great Britain or
Germany, Senator Gray argues that the
United States has no right to intervene.
This would apply to Cuba also, in case
Spain sold the island to Germany or Great
Britain.
1t is well known that Bismarck encour-
aged the German bankers to make the
last Cuban loan some years ago with the
expectation that sooner or later the Span
ish government would be unable to pay
the principal and interest. Then Germany
would have an opportunity to foreclose up-
on the property and take possession of the
richest island in the West Indies

AT A GREEN TURTLE BARBECUE
Arkansas Pass Supplies the World With
the Delicious Edible.

Arkansas Pass Supplies the World With
the Delicious Edible.
Mr.. Roth reports that the chief topic
of conversation in the corner groceries
of Arkansas, Texas, at present is a
green turtle barbecue to be given
there about the middle of February.
Arkansas Pass supplies the world with
this delicious edible" said the gentle
man to a st. Louis Globe-Democrat re-
porter. 1--WE have the only green tur-
tie cannery in existence, and our ship
ments are to all parts of the globe
The business is growing rapidly. The
turtles are of all sizes. up to big fellows
weighing 600 pounds. After being
caught they are kept in pens about 100
feet square. There must be 20 or 80
pens. The turtles are fed regularly
and as much care is taken of them as
if they were so many heads of hogs
being fattened for the market. How are
they caught? Why, with pieces of red
flannel cloth. That seems strange, but
it is no fish story. No hooks, seines. or
harpOOns are used. They are not mud
turtles such are caught near the shore,
but deep-sea turtles. The bait, a piece
of red flannel, is fastened on one end of
a line and lowered into the water. Mr..
Turtle catches hold of the rag and re-
fuses to let go until drawn out of the
water. The fisherman does not try to
haul him into the boat, but pulls him to
shore, and there captures him without
any difficulty"

There is almost as much science in
the game as there is in football, but the
rules are easily understood. A basket
is hung at either end of the room, and
1t is the duty of each team to defend it's
own basket and at the same time en-

The next day we held two meet
ings and find our congregations are
increasing, Notwithstanding the
opposition of the priests, and on the
following Sunday we held two meet
ings and baptized six persons, and
while attending to the ordinance, a
constable threatend to arrest us and
have us fined for breaking the sab
bath, if we did not cease. There
happened to be a Lunakanawai
Justice of the peace present who
told the constable that we had the
right to baptize on any day, Sunday
not excepted, and therefore we could
not be fined for baptizing on Sunday.

Both our mental and moral
acquisitions increase by their com
munication to others; which gives
an illustration of two truths-hrst,
that we are framed to carry out the
law of love; and second, that the
possessions which multiply in the
lmparting are naturally the most
valuable.

barous manner in which the nations
and kingdoms were then ruled
over These rulers, their subor-
dlnates and aristocreacy, formed a
most formidable force against their
subjects, their thirst for gold and
power led them to resort to every
conceivable cruelty and barbarity
to wrest from the people their. gold
and other valuables, and bring
them more and more under their
sublection that they the more
readily could use them AS vassals
and mental slaves. Secret orders
were formed, secret chambers held,
heavy taxes imposed upon the peo-
pie and also other burdens that
were too heavy to bear, and con-
seqently some died under the
weight thereof. These powers and
rulers become so corrupt and
weakened that their dominions
were overthrown, their power
wrested from them and the
ruling power was placed in more
humane and God-like persons.
More modern history will cite
us to similar scenes of barbarism
down even to the present century.
Never since the days of Nero,
the most cruel and wicked tyrant
that ever lived on the earth, has
there been concocted deeper, and
more destructive scheme for the
overthrow and downfall of Nation
and its final extinction than the
scheme now on foot and being
worked up by the goldbugs-our
Nations vampires and insiduous
foes that would eat out the vitals
OF our once glorious Republic of
America. The scheme is inter-
national and deep-rooted. The
only way to avert this great ca
lamity is for every loyal and pat
riotic citizen Of the United States
to rally to the standard of Bimet-
allsm-the free coinage of the
American Silver product, and
place it on parity with gold at
ratio of Is to l. If we will do
this, we will be sure to win, and
save our Nation from the terrible
thraldom into which it is so fast
verging. Well let the Nations
sap-suckers,-the gold bugs-go to
that sectarian hell there to eniov
the sulphury fumes of at terrible
lake of fire and birthstone.
Knickerbocker.
We think that Knickerbocker in
the main, is on the right track, and
will never get to that terrible lake
he speaks of, because that is the
Presbyterian and other sectarian's
hell and the Presbyterians have
disfellowshipped the Mormons and
erased the name from the sched-
ule of religion; therefore no Nor
mons can 60 there; and as for their
heaven, we think he is not parti-
cular to go there either, as we think
the two provinces are not very
far apart.

Two days afterward We were Wis
tied by the Catholic Priest. He
wanted private conversation with
us, as he believed we were honest
and wanted to do right, but was in
an error and that he believed he
could convert us and we be made
Catholic Priests.
There were number of natives
present whom we saw were very
anxious to hear what was said. We
told his holiness that we were willing
to talk with him either in public or
private, but would rather talk in
public so the natives could hear
what we said and judge for them
selves. He said our talk would all
be mystery to them and they could
not understand, hence it would be
better to have our conversation
private, and therefore to accommodate
his highness we went off and were
alone with him, and we talked until
a shower of rain forced us to seek
shelter, which was about half day
The next day we held meeting
and baptized four more, and while
we were confirming them, in came
the Priest, fairly foaming with rage,
and he threatened us with the Judge
ments of God, if we did not for.
sake our ways and turn Catholics.
and told the people not to keep us
about their houses, for, if they did,
God would be angry and would smite
them with severe judgements, etc.
The next morning good supply of
roasted Kid and Kalo was brought
tor our breakfast and for the day.
which we very much enjoyed. This
did not look as though the people
were going to desert u.s. In the
afternoon of the same day we were
visited by Emerson, the Calvinist
Priest. The Natives saw him com
ing and a croud followed him to
hear what we had to say, but when
ne entered and began to talk. he
appeared to be dumbfounded and
said but little, but wanted the Natives
to turn us away and not allow US
about them.
The Natives told us that the
catholic Priest, when he left us the
day before, went and saw Emerson
and urged him to use his influence
to have the people not receive us
nor allow us about their houses, etc.
A number of Natives tarried until
late at night, talking and enquiring
after the truth of the Kingdom, and
the next morning we were treated toI
another dish of roasted Kid meat
and Kalo. This did not seem to usl
like being turned away. The Sun
day following we held 2 meetings
and baptized a more persons. Thus
we kept on preaching and baptizing
until we build up large branch of
the Church, between the two Priests,
who did not live two miles apart.

Long Branch, n. j.. July 27--Uriah II.
Painter Of Washington, d. c., lives in a
cottage on Ocean avenue. near Takanassee
Lake. Mr.. Painter is easily vexed. but
when he saw with his own eyes bathers
without tights taking dip in the Taka-
nassec Lake pond his feelings were mere
than riled.
Mfr. Painter sent a letter to City Clerk
Van Brunt, which was read Saturday
night. He claims that this style of bathing
was not alone confined to the boys, but
that women and girls were offenders. too.
Mr.. Painter proposes to stop such prac-
tices, and joseph White, special police
officer, was commissioned by the board
at his request.
