phase, is unquestionably that which due

institutions viii constrain the American
people TO support II is no new position.
and that criticism OF the president which
goes beyond his method OF presenting the
case overshoots its mark and falls against

one occasion M least empEatically enforced
by an administration which two genera
tons OF our people have delighted to honor.

THE yFSEZUELA COMMISSIONS.

So far as can be determined by knowl-
edge Of the nen, the commission appointed
by President Cleveland TO inquire into
the righteousness OF Venezuela's position,
shows nothing OF politics in the selection
Justice Brewer Is an able jurist; Frederic
r ,Coudert has been the legal. representa-
tive OF the French government in this
country for many years and is an author
ity upon international law: Andrew ID.
White is not politician. but man OF
advanced education and has acquired some
experience In diplomacy as United states
minister to Russia; and neither ID. Z.
Gilman, OF Johns Hopkins university. nor
Judge Alvey has taken any active share
in partisan politics.
1t is such a body as would command re-
spect In any country. OF course, the Sc
lection Of two men whose public life -
Identified with FRANCE and Russia the two
enemies Of England, and the two nations
which, of oil Europe, would be most likely
10 side with the Usfted States in case of
war, cannot escape remark; but the coin
cidence is not Of Importance in view OF the
character of the men.
The fact that some OF them have ex-
pressed very decided views IN favor of
the Monroe doctrine is not to be taken
as an indication Of bias. 1t would be
rather difficult TO find an American who
does not believe in the Monroe doctrine.
What doubt there IS on the subject is
not TO be found in the question. shall
or shall not the Monroe doctrine be up
mined practically by this commission:
Does or does not the Monroe doctrine
apply to this case?"
IL is evident that the United States and
England differ as much IN the reading of
that doctrine now as they did in the days
of Canning and Monroe. England's idea
is that no foreign power not already es-
tablished on this continent shall ever get
foothold: which means that. with the ex-
ception OF Spain in Cuba, and the very
small Dutch and French possessions, the
United States and England are to he the
controlling nations. The whole tone of
Cannings representations, together with
the great possessions of England in Can
ada. the West Indies. and the smaller but
important holdings in Honduras and Gut
ana, goes to show that what became the
Monroe doctrine was in his mind an aIi-
ance against all other European powers.
AS 1t turned out. Monroe and Adams
turned Canning's gun upon himself equal
ly with other European nations; ana Eng
land does not realize that fact yet.
Whether the difference between England
and Venezuela involves the doctrine will
depend 10 a great extent upon document
airy evidence. II England ever had any
color of right. through the vagueness Of
treaties or a doubt as TO the names OF
the bounding rivers. TO possession OF the
territory In dispute the Monroe doctrine
can hardly be said TO apply. But Vene-
zuela says she never had that the claim
is only OF recent date. and manufactured
In order To acquire valuable mines. If
that be 80. the Monroe doctrine does ap-
ply-for the extension Of control or the
oppression of a South American republic
seems to be clearly included.

Do you contemplate committing matrimony this fall? If you do you will need Furniture and Carpets be- fore you can settle down to house. keeping and we are going to suggest that it would be V3ry proper and 8 very prudent thing to come to Flaw leyVille and look us over before you buy. We have an immense stock to select from and our facilities for hand ling are such that wa can make a liV- ing commission and yet sell way b. low city prices We have no so called leaders i1 the store Did you ever an alvze leader? It's an article of low value, sold at cost or little less, for the purpose of creating a false impress sion No expensive piece of furniture is ever made u3e of as a leader. All of our goods are marked on a consis- tent commission. You can pick up some of the other fellows leaders at 8 less price than we will sell, but if you want 8 fine piece, or a general assort ment of furniture, to furnish up 8 house, you will find that the sum tot al of bill selected at Hawleyville will be much less than the sum total of the same bill selected in the city. We are sending a great many goods to the cities of Connecticut in direct com potion with large stocks in those cit ies. This no doubt seems to you lat first thought absurd, and stretch of the truth, that people should leave places like Hartford and New Haven and come to Bawleyville to buy but there IS 8 good and valid reason why we can make it for their inter est to do so.
 Did you ever think how much room it requires to handle large stock of Furni ture? And did you ever think what it costs to rent and maintain that room iu the city? Just consider for moment the odds in our favor, both in expense and facilities for hand, ling, and you will see nothing SO very absurd in city people coming to Flaw leyYille to buy furniture. In these times people are quite apt to buy where the purchasing power of dol lar is the most. It will ever be thus until we have free coinage, and silver dollars are distributed around to the masses in basket.
 We are selling pianos now, and if you are going to buy one this fall don't fail to let US know it.
