Armenia, just completed in the inter

by their official representatives, tells
a horrible story. A carefully prepar-

wonder Gladstone became aroused.
The publication Of that dreadful story

OF the difficulty by this method ex-
tremely difficult, if not impossible.
The delimitation of a hitherto defined
boundary would necessarily involve
the principle of give and take; but the
constitution of Venezuela defines her
territory TO be coextensive with her
extreme claim up TO the Essequibo,
and prohibits both the executive and
the congress of the nation from making
any cession of Venezuelan soil under
any and all circumstances Under
such conditions no treaty that should
propose a compromise of the dispute
would be valid unless it should con-
cede TO Venezuela all she claims. 1t

LOOKS A LITTLE DARK.

But little has been heard of the Kru-
of late. Chamberlain had invited the
president of the South African govern
ment to visit England's queen. There
the story ends, except that the Ameri-
can engineer had been let out of prison
on his own recogniZance. Kruger ev-
identity has warm side for Ameri-
cans, and probably regretted Ham
mOnd's mistake, for Kruger is an Am
erican himself. With all his state
craft and diplomatic ingenuity he is a
Pennsylvania Dutchman, having been
raised in Carbon county, Pennsylvania.
General Joubert, too, who defeated the
Englishmen at Majuba Hill and Kru-
gersdorp, is native of Uniontown, Fay
cite county, Pa, and is veteran of
our civil war. DR.. Jameson evidently
didn't know whom he was running up
against when he undertook to overrun
the BOer republic.
But there are rumors, if not actual
news, there is a startling rumor that
a British expedition of 10000 men are
being prepared for South Africa. The
present phase of the negotiations be-
tween Great Britain and the Transvaal
government do not indicate any neces-
sity for demonstration of force on
the part of the British government, not
withstanding the hitch which has been
caused by Mr.. Chamberlain's too great
frankness in exposing his policy. Pres
ident Kruger has reaffirmed his pur-
pose to redress the grievances of the
Uitlanders, and has reasserted his in
tentiOn to proceed to London. There
is very distince conflict, however, be-
tween the statements of the German
and British foreign offices concerning
the reported appeal of the Beers for the
Intervention of Germany; and while it
is proper to maintain an attitude of
skepticism with regard to the rumors
of the proposed expedition of a Brit
ish army corps to Natal, it is possible
that the South African
question may assume undreamed of

ABUSE OF FRANKING.

While the fragrant abuse of the frank
ing privilege by a Pennsylvania congress
man will doubtless be regarded by the
gentleman's colleagues as an instance OF
humorous vagary on the part of the con-
gressional intellect, the people will be in
clined to look at the episode with more Sc
rious concern. 1t is safe to say also that
the discovery will warn the congressman
TO exercise a greater degree of caution in
awaiting themselves of the franking priv
ilege.
The incident however, does not Justify
any inconsiderate attack on the policy of
allowing senators and representatives TO
send official documents through the mails
free of postage. In case Of government
officials the postage would be charged up
against the government anyway, and
where the privilege is not grossly abused
by congressman there is no serious loss
TO the federal exchequer through the
ranking system
That the British parliament abolished
the franking system in 1870 was not due
so much TO abuses of the privilege as it
was TO the adoption of penny postage.
In the United States the use of the frank
was practically unlimited until 1873,
when congress was compelled 10 abolish

a WANTON INSULT.

That must have been an intensity
| interesting debate on the Cuban ques-
ton, two or three columns of which
appeared in our yesterday mornings
| dispatches. There seems no excuse
for longer inacti0n. The patriots of
that island have government and an
army. Surely Cuba's darkest hour has
arrived-and whether dawn or blank
despair lies beyond is question which
our own government is largely tn an
swer. Under the mysterious prOvi-
dence which rules the destinieS of war
il may yet come to pass that the SUI
preme act of the tyrant shall serve
only to hasten the comming of freedom
and peace.
General Weyler's latest proclamation
against Cubans who sympathize with
the revolutionary cause is practically
a death warrant for every man, woman
and child who dares to murmur q
word of praise or pity for the gallant
men who are fighting the battle of
liberty. 1t declares that those ''who
by word of mouth or through the press
shall belittle the prestige of Spain, or
who by the same means shall praise
the enemy" are guilty of crime for
which they are answerable with their
lives. Against that revolving edict an
outraged world will speak in terms of
angry protest. The first attempt of
Weyler and his fellow oppressors to
enforce an order so barbarous and
shocking should be followed by the
prompt recognition of Cuban belliger-
ency by every civiliztd nation. The
mere assumption by Spain that she will
be permitted to employ the infamous
methods of the sixteenth century
against the Cuban patriots is a wan
ton insult TO humanity and civiliza-
ton.
Doubtless General Campos would be
in commend in Cuba today if he had
reSorted to the methods which his sue
cessor has adopted. But Campos is a
Soldier-not 4 butcher.
General Weyler's latest proclama-
ton to the people of Cuba reads like
the decree of an Assyrian or Babylo-
MAN despot. All the inhabitants of
the eastern provinces are directed to
concentrate in places which may be
located the headquarters of a division,
brigade or a column of troops. All
owners of commercial establishments
in the country districts are ordered to
vacate them, and 10 turn them over to
the military authorities. The mani
fest purpose of the proclamation is 10
transform interior Cuba into a desert
and thus Starve out the instruction.
BY implication persons found beyond
the radius covered by the military for
ceS OF Spain are 10 be treated as reb-
els and traitors whether they be proven
disloyal or not II is far easier. how

passed, the heated debate will probably
wipe out, temporarily at least. party
lines; and when party lines are effac-
ed-as in the case of our own free silver
debate-the situation becomes not only
delicate, but dangerous. This bill for

from a conservative source, yet it is
difficult tc see how the Roman Catholic

the other hand, there is an apparent
