The United States has not taken the
ground that Venezuela's claim to the
territory in dispute was right. 1t has
simply demanded that England should
submit the dispute to the decision of
impartial arbitrators and not attempt to
maintain her claim by her superior force.
England has now agreed to this method.
Whatever the outcome of the arbitration
may be, whether it gives to England the
territory in dispute or awards it to Ven
euleza. the United States will have
gained all that it has commended for
its triumph was complete when England
accepted arbitration. But our triumph
in this case may impose upon us some
serious responsibilities. Having espoused
Venezuela's quarrel it is difficult to see
how we can hold ourselves aloof from
other quarrels which may arise between
other South American republics and
European states, especially if they in
volye questions of boundary. Indeed
we have come pretty near declaring to the
world that we::intend to see that all the
South American republics shall have
fair play, and that their weakness shall
not be taken advantage of. In short
we have made ourselves South Ameri-
cas- protector.

FOREIGN AND NATIVE POPULATION

FOREIGN AND NATIVE POPULATION.
1t IL quite true that the Western States
that showed the LARGEST vote for Bryan
ism in the recent elections were states
whose foreign population Is comparative
ly small Both Kansas and Nebraska are
largely settled by natives. Yet II is not
by any means certain that a deduction
from this fact that the native popula-
tion is more susceptible to finan ciaI
heresies than IL the foreign one, would
be a correct one. There are good many
facts that show that the explanation of
the Kansas and Nebraska vote is to be
found in the conditions surrounding the
rather than in any innate tendency to 90
wrong. The people of these two states
are very largely engaged in agriculture;
and inasmuoh as for many years now
the agricultural industry has been un-
profitable there was naturally in both. of
them very large number of people who
were Respondent and discouraged. For
this reason they were peculiarly susoep-
tible to the free coinage heresy, which
was offered them as a remedy which
would cure all their ills. 1t may be said
that agriculture was equally depressed
in other Western States which showed
sound money majority, and this is
true. But In most, if not all of the W est
ern States that showed a large sound
money majority, the ratio of the agrioul-
tuarl population to the whole population
Is much smaller than in Kansas and
Nebraska. To state it another way the
city population is larger. Now it is a
fact that the returns make very clear
that sound money won its biggest vic
tories In the cities, not because there is
. larger per cent of foreigners there than
in the country, but because in the cities
there has been very large and influ-
entail body of men constantly at work
for it. We refer Of course to the
The Portland daily press., 1896-11-16

business men. More than half the
sound money majority of Illinois came
from Chicago. indianapolis furnished
most of Indiana's. The big cities of
Ohio carried that state for Mckinley. In
all these states If the issue had been left
to farmers the result would have been
exceedingly doubtful. The business
men saved them to sound money.
In Kansas and Nebraska the percentage
of business men to the entire population
being much smaller than in these other
states, their votes and their work count
| for much less.
Free silver coinage has been propogar-
ed from the first more successfully
| among the farmers than any other class,
because their condition made them moro
susceptible to 1t, and because also the
arguments upon which it WAS supported
| appealed more strongly to farmers than
| to any other class. 1t was natural there
fore to expect at the recent election a
larger vote for Bryan in agricultural
| communities than in business oommuni-
| ties. Hence in those states where the
former greatly predominant, as in Kan
sas and Nebraska, large free silver vote
could reasonably have Leen foreseen.
Indeed it was foreseen. The character
| of the business of these two states, rath-
| er than the nationality of the population
| accounts for the strength of Organism in
| them. To the character of theirbusiness
m 10 10 adf dad Oh 4t,o
education the people have been receiving.
Almost without exception the political
leaders in these states, whether ,Republi-
| can, Democratic OF Populist, have been
preaching the free silver doctrine for
many years past. And the same has been
true of the newspapers. Not until the
present campaign has Kansas heard
| anything on the other side, and it was
hardly possible that the teaching of years
could be uprooted in three months, es-
pecially as many of the men who at
tempted the uprooting had been instru-
mental in sowing the seed and had then
declared that it was good. In most of
the Western States through all the sill
yer agitation there has been some sound
| money leaven constantly at work, but
in Kansas and Nebraska there has been
practically none. A foreign population
of farmers under the same conditions
that have surrounded the Kansas and
Nebraska farmers and with the same ed :
| ucation that they have received would
| have done no better than they
did. The population in Yer
mont and Maine went right, though
it ia largely native. AT the same time
large percent of the foreign population
of New York city went wrong.
| All these things tend to show that it
was not the nativity Of popu-
lation but the conditions surrounding it
| and the character of the education it had
been receiving that determined its vote.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

by local application as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There ID only one
way to cure deafness and that is by oonstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any

Mr.. Bryan's attempt to revive the sill
yer agitation Is getting very little SYM
pathy from the Democrats outside of the
silver states. For the most part they
hold that what the country now needs
is rest from agitation. They rightly soy
that If the gold standard is wrong and
inimical to prosperity tbs fact will ap-
pear without agitation, while if it is
right and for the public good the sooner
that Is proved the better for all concerned.

HOW TO KEEP BRYANISM DEAD.
(New York Times.)
But We must not forget what were the
conditions that made it possible for Bry-
anism to be the professed creed of party
that cast 46 per cent of the votes of the
nation. These were % the blind par
tisanship which accepts O "reaul arr
candidate and platform without regard
to consistency or honor; (2)ths cowartiioe
OF the political leaders who bid for the
votes of the free coinage faction at the
sacrifice OF large part of the community
as to what good money Is and what Con-
eress can and cannot do with it; ca the
existence of feeling amongEa large class
that the well-to-do are unjustly benefited
by our present laws.
II we mean that Organism shall not
revive, we must steadily and watcbfuIly
resist the return of these conditions, so
far rs they have passed away, and work
to abolish them where they exist.

pain, coupled with the fierce growls
and snarls of the puma, and the sounds
of desperate conflict.

enemies, and the two great beasts were
having a battle to the finish. The bat
