The Climax of EngIand'- Rapaeity.

The Climax of EngIand's Rapacity-
II begins to appear that the closing years
of this century will marx the turning point
in England's system Of desDoning weaker
countries OF territory. For a century
and a half she has made war whenever
the opportunity offered, If by doing so she
could add TO her commerce and make Gus
toners Of her conquered subjects. She has
waged war with great fleets and mercen-
airy troops. She has used conquered peoples
for the purpose Of conquering their neigh
bors, until the drum-beat Of England is
heard around the world; and it Is follow
ed by a trail Of blood.
The message OF President Cleveland
upon the Venezuela boundary was the
first stern command to imperious England
that she must stop. at least so far as the
American continent is concerned. The
emperor Of Germany has shown a DISPOSE
ton to serve the same kind Of notice upon
the English government. His message
of congratulatiOn to President Kruger of
the Transvaal republic, means just that.

try with the intention Of playing the part

The emperor. though a grandson of
Queen Victoria. would not hesitate to

before that time. when Frederick the
Great made the name OF the country

The Germans have always been the
great continental merchants and now
that they have become a people with a
sea power. they are disposed to dispute
with England for a share of the com

1t is within the range of probabilities
that the present disturbance of Eng
lands policy is the beginning of the era
that will mark the time when Macauley's

would rapidly further that epoch foretold

Holding oIney Responsible.

The Presidents Venezuela message has
called out many Interesting views and
some remarkable opinions. Much that has
appeared in the public prints has had no
foundation in fact For instance. that
conservative periodical, Harper's Weekly.
expressed its regret, in a long editorial
article. that death carried of Judge
Gresham so soon. II. it said. Judge Ores
ham had lived and remained at the head
Of the state department there would
have been no such outburst OF jingoism
as that for which Secretary Olney is
responsible.
II would naturally be supposed that
Harper's Weekly would not have made
such a positive statement as the forego-
ing II it had not been certain Of its facts
If the best informed of the Washington
correspondents are not mistaken, how
ever, Judge Gresham. when death over
took him, was preparing to do just what
Secretary Olney did. Secretary Olney
took up the Venezuela case where Judge
Gresham left It. and carried it forward
on the lines which Judge Gresham had
drawn. 1t is declared that there is in the
state department. in Judge Gresham's
handwriting. evidence that he was pre-
pared to advise the identical declaration
in respect TO the Monroe doctrine that
Secretary olney advised the President
to make.
There is ground for saying that the
papers that have condemned the Presi-
dents Venezuela message would have
heartily approved it If it had not caused
a little panic in the stock market. When
the panic came the spirit of patriotism
found no welcome in their columns. 1t
had been supplanted by the selfish. COM
nercial spirit. Those New Workers who
condemned the message and the Presi-
dents Monroe doctrine declaration and
called. his action in issuing the message
criminal were probably specializing for a
rise in cotton or stocks. and their opin-
ions were shaped by their pockets. IT
would be impossible for any strong, ag-
gressive policy relative to public matters
to be adopted without hurting somebody's
interests, and those whose Interests are
injured are pretty certain to condemn
the policy, whatever its merits might be.
