BEER WILL GO UP
And Thousands Of Saloons
VIII Go Up, Too.

Chicago. HI, Dec. 30.-The
beer war. which has ragged for a
year or so has been settled. All
tie brewing companies doing
business in Chicago have per
fected, a mutual agreement by
which the price of beer will be
advanced on Jan. l to-s5 a bar
rel. The present rrice being 81.
1t is expected that this will re
suit in the closing Of some 1000
saloons in Chicago.
Ever since the brewers as
sociation went to pieces about
a year ago, efforts have been
constantly directed toward re
viving it, and to day Adolph
Brand of the Brand Brewery
Company announced at meet
ing of the. brewers that the
Anheuser- Busch Company of
st. Louis, the only concern
holding ont against the prof
fers of peace, had agreed.to co
operate with the Chicago and
Milwaukee brewers in bringing
about the organization of the
association and the establish
ment Of the s. rate on the malt
beer, thus ending a long drawn
out, and to many Of the weaker
breweries, disastrous conflict.
The Anheuser- Busch Company
refused daily TO enter into any
pool, but as it was shown that
it would be impossible to end
the beer war without at least
the cooperation Of the compa-
ny, Mr.. Busch consented lo
come to an understanding.

The controversy over the
Venezuelan boundary line arose
in 1851, soon after the signing
of the treaty between Spain
and the Dutch This treaty
provided that the Orinoco col
onies should become the prop
eriyo of the Spanish, while the
Esequibo settlements were to
belong to the Dutch at thai
time the section now in dispute
was wild and unexplored, and
was without inhabitants. Soon
after the disputed territory
began to be recognized as valu-
able landthe British Govern
m6nt, which had conquered the
Dutch and taken their posses
sion, took the position that her
boundary was not marked by
the Esequibo River itself. but
/ that EngIand's domain extend
ed over I'll the land drained by
the river.
The boundary line, known as
the "Schomburgk line" was
run by Sir Robert schonburgk
in 1871. From the map repro
j auced herewith, it viii be seen
that the territory included by
this line extends far beyond
the watershed of the Esequibo
River. No authority for the

THE PRESIDENT IscENsED

A dispatch from Washington, dated the
18th instant, says:
the inhuman, barbarous orders issued
by Captain General Weyler, who has Just
succeeded Campos in command of the Span
ish forces and interests in Cuba. have deeply
incensed the President
The orders of this petty military satrap,
this representative of an effete monarchy,
are 40 outrage upon the civilization of the
Western continent. The President held
back the response to the House resolution
calling for information concerning Cuba for
nearly two months, in the hope that Wey.
Ter would take command and develop his
plans. But the demand Of the House for
the information requested became so urgent

ALL GLASSES INTERESTED

II does not require much depth of thought
TO realize that there is more than sympathy
or sentiment in the appeal from the people
of the United States to their representatives
that something be done by this country to
bring the Cuban war to such an issue that
it will be speedily decided. The subject
has direct relation to the pocket books OF
the people, to every one who is a consumer
of sugar. Men of wealth and working.
men are thus directly interested, and the
fact is brought lorcibly to their attention by
the news that we are now bringing sugar
from Egypt, from the historic valley of the
Nile, rict and picturesque no doubt, but no
better adapted for producing sugar cane
than the island but a few hundred miles
away from us, where crops are devastated
because of war.
The reflection is far from being pleasing
that great government, depending upon a
-.aeighboring island for the principal portion
of the raw material from which this coun.
try's sugar is made, should have to go to far
off Egypt for supply to take the place, in
part, Of that destroyed by an instruction
not considered sufficiently formidable to be
recognized as war. If nations are moved
more quickly by selfish interests than senti.
ment it would seem bat natural that this
government should recognize the rights oil
Cuban rebels in order that thedssues may
be the more quickly determined.
II the war is allowed to continue as it is
crops may be destroyed not only this year
but 10 seasons to come. They are already
doomed for 1s96-the estimate being ,ha
of the usual supply of million of tons
there will be but from 100000 to 4O0, 00C
tons. But the crops Of 1897 may be pro
duced in safety by free people IL the Unitec
States will recognize the rights, as belliger
ents, of the insurrectionists.

BORNE GOOD FRUIT

The very picturesque attitude of the Eng
fish cabinet to the United States in general
and to our Venezuela commission in par
ticular, is the best proof possible that Presi
dent Cleveland's sturdy and vigorous asser
ton OF robust Americanism has borne gooc
fruit. The disclaimers of any intention Il
tansgress the Monroe Doctrine, and of on
tire willingness to furnish the commission
with any information which they may pos
sess, one is scarcely able to recognize the
naughty personages who declared that the
message OF the President was an insult ia
England, and that the appointment of a com.
mission would never be recognized, even re
motley, by an English ministry.
Alter reflection, too, the British cabin ct
has agreed that 1t is always best to listen
with respect to message from America
not so much, as Lord Granville once said
because of the tone in which It Is uttered
rs of the force behind it.
The wisdom of the Presidents course is
completely justified. Without the faintest
desire to contribute to lingo spirit, with
out any wish to assume for the United States
an authority they are not entitled to, the re-
assertion by the Chief Magistrate of the
nation of the Monroe Doctrine as a card
dial point in our policy, applicable to ag
eressions In South or Central America to-
day quite as much as 1t was seventy three
years ago, is triumphant success. Who
hears now of refusals to recognize the doe
trine because II is not codifed as interua.
tonal lawP Who ventures to talk of as
sembling Congress of the European pow
ers to discipline the great Republic of the
West because she dares to assert her policy
like other nations9 To-day we see the prac
tical leader of one English party counsel
ing speedy acceptance of the arbitration
which America advised, while the proud
head of the other party proclaims that he
never dreamed of violating in the least the
Monroe Doctrine.
