sion headed by Gen. Duffield, Chief Of
the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey,
now in the hands Of the Secretary Of
State, is sent to Congress, as it shortly
will be, it will be officially seen that
there is practically no difference between
the boundary line run by the American
engineers aad the one previously run by
English engineers, The greatest diff.
erence between the two lines at any
given point is six feet and seven inches
or fifteen seconds of longitude.

joys the confidence of the public and of

the subject is discussed. 1t is to be en-

Stirring Times.

The year 1896 opens under reign Of
exceptionally interesting events, not as
they pertain only to local State affairs,
but as we'll in the Nation, between this
and other nations and in other countries
At home we have before US the assem-
bling of the first legislature not control
ed by the Democracy in nearly thirty
years and one that will elect an U. S.
Senator. This with Republican Coy
ernor and Republican Mayor of Balti-
more city occasions much specializing
from an entirely new standpoint. In
National affairs we have a great fnan-
cial problem to solve that relates both
to currency and revenue. Concerning
the first neither of the two great parties
are unanimous in the advocacy of set
or distinguishing feature, while it is
almost possible to say the same concern.
ing the second. In the currency ques-
ton, the gold basis on the one hand
and free silver coinage on the other
represent the extremes and in the mat
ter of revenue, free trade and a protec-
tive tariff are the extremes. These four
items of home public policy will occupy
attention in the immediate future and
will ass uredly bring about stirring times
in the year of a presidential election.
Our presidents pronounced utteran-
ces on the subject of our right to prevent
any eastern power to acquire territory
in North, Central or South America,
occasioned by Great Britain's disposition
to infringe upon Venezuelan territory
has injected unusual life Into and inter-
est in our foreign policy and will, in case
it be not overshadowed by other events,
likely occasion stirring times until set
tied by diplomacy or war.
In Europe and Asia the unspeakable
Turk is again waving fire brand over
the immense European magazine. Until
overshadowed by other events, the
Turkish atrocities in Armenia bid fair
to bring about a serious condi ton of
things in Europe and may even yet
provide the spark that will set one.half
the world a6re.
Upon the heel of Englands trouble
with us on Venezuelan matters comes
petty war in South Africa, wherein
English colonists are the aggressors and
Holland Dutch, the Beers of the Trans.
yaal Republic are the aggrieved party.
This has vexed Germany's young war
lord, Emperor William, who has
expressed himself concerning the affair
in words that will rankle in English
breasts for many day and the imme-
date effect Of which, though not yet
apparent, may wholly re.arrange Euro
pean friendships and alliances and open
up an entirely new game on the diplo-
matte chess board.
