Our Service to Venezuela.

The Mansion House speech of Lord SAILS
BURY spoke of the Guiana boundary con-
troversy as "the discussion had with
che United States on behalf of their
friends in Venezuela" That the Brit
reference to matters OF great public concern
is clear from his description Of the very
grave dispute we ave had with England as
a rather u%nimportant controversy" It
recalls some of his illusions to the Monroe
doctrine in the course of that controversy.
But In the present instance there seems
to be no ground for the suggestion
made in some quarters that the words
"their friends in Venezuela" contain
a slight sneer. They may indeed have
been suggested, rather, by the actual
method adopted for the settlement of the
question, in which tho United States will
appear as 1.-THE friend OF Venezuela" in
the selections for the court.
This would be the natural attitude of our
Government with the present reversion to ar
bitration for the settlement of the boundary
line. When the Monroe doctrine was threat
ened by the arrogant method adopted by Eng
land in dealing with Venezuela, relying on
eho Ao" 4 tHo oItohSoi, Jul SouhCiy was
called upon to act in its own defence, and
became perforce, for a time. a principal in
the dispute. But with the vindication of
the doctrine of MONROE. the actual ascer-
tainment of the disputed boundary line
calls upon it rather for the friendly aid which
its position as senior and leader among the
American republics may warrant in a dis
putc between one of them and II powerful
nation Of the Old World.
Is it therefore not improbable that the
task remaining for the United States, act
ing as the friend of Venezuela" to use
Lord SALIsBURY's phrase in writing to
Sir JULIAN P~AUNcEFoTE, may he completed
by nominating the representatives on Ven
ezuela's side in the court o: arbitration ?
AT all events, that would appear to be a
sufficient fulhlmen. of our obligations to-

Chatter About Changing the Torn

As Is generally the case after n Presiden-
tial campaign, the reformers who always
want to be reforming our institutions are
talking about the desirability OF a change in
The term Of the President from four years
70 six, seven, or even eight. The disturbance
to business is the reason offered.
No doubt business has been greatly dis
turbed during the past three months. No
doubt business suffers to some extent in
every Presidential year. But IL this is a
good reason for frightening the intervals
between elections from four years to six,
seven or eight years. it is a better argument
for lengthening them to fifteen years, or
twenty, or twenty-five. II the Presidential
election with its demand upon the people
for their earnest attention to political af-
fairs Ia an evil to be avoided as far as possi-
BILE, the ideal arrangement would be a life
tenure of that office. Even then there would
be a season of stress and unsettlement when
over q President died; but that could be
avoided also by making the Office hereditary.
As between four years and six years there
Is this to be said: Surprising that BRYAN
had been elected last week. II that stupen-
dous misfortune had occurred. would the
business interests Of the United States have
regretted the Constitutional provision limit
ing his term to four yearsi Would they
have been happier il the country had been
doomed to six. seven or eight years OF poor
BRYAN before the first opportunity to shake
off the incubus?
There is always the chance that a bad
President, a dangerous President, or a fool
President may get into the White House.
In such an event, the business interests Of
the country are decidedly better of with a
four years term.
Better let the Constitution alone, gentle
menl The minute you begin to tinker it
you open the door to Unreasonable evils to
this republic.

THE AcouITTAL OF DR. BROWN.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 19.-Tba e,o,- gregational council. which has bean i,. vestigating the charges against Rev q 0. Brown for the past month has n,ado it's report declaring Mir. Brown not guilty of immortality, but it censurea him for unministerial eonduot Dr Browns explanation of the payment of $500 to Mrs Davidson is regarded as weak and unsatisfactory and Miss Over. mans strange story of love and black. mail is given passing mention.
 Dr. Brown, in commenting m tbo verdict, said, with reference to the oep. sure, the unministerial conduct charge occurred after the council had been called and that the council had no riobt to take up anything except the original charges. With reference to his unsatis. factory explanation of the paving of the money to Mrs. Davidson. he said. ''The official stenographio report shows to anyone who chooses to inyestioate that did not pay the $500 to secure the silence of Mrs. Baddin, but rather to So. cure indisputable evidence upon which the real criminal might be found and punished, and it is on the receipt given by Mrs. Davidson that she stands bound over to the superior court for trial. This important fact the council entirely over- looked"
 Rev. Dr. Mckenzie, leading Presby. terian minister of this city, said Dr. Brown has endured such strain as no other man of this generation has en. dured and that he fought battle for every minister of the gospel.

Him Out of a Patent.
 NEW YORK, March 19.-Thomas A. Edison had visit from remarkable crank as his home at Orange. N. J.. Tuesday night. He was Bert BudQeon. A young man from Edison, Neb.. who said that eight years ago Edison stole from him patentable arc light carbon and has made money through it. Edi- son has been deiuged with letters from Badgeon for two years About q year ago the writer sent word he would ao cept $100 i'll cash and call the account settled. He later drew on Edison at sight, but needless to say, the drafts were not honored. Last fall he wrote announcing he was coming to Orange to collect the money in person. and re- queeted that sufficient money to pay his fare be forwarded to him. No attention was paid to the letter but Budgeon him. gel appeared in West Orange Tuesday. He was wreck. He had walked from s Lincoln, Neb., across the continent to obtain $100 His hair had not been cut since he started. and hung down to his shoulders. His beard had grown and ! almost hid his face, and his clothes and shoes were almost worn out. He asked to see Mir Edison. but Secretary Ran dall told him to call again He did so and was arrested. He talked rationally on all subjects save that of his imagin- ary claim against Edison. Justice Con- dit advised him to drop the claim against Edison. and after considerable persuasion Budgeon agreed to do this He also promised to go back to Me- braska, and was released.
