WHEELING. NOVEMBER 10, 1890.


The agreement between Great Britain
and the United States to arhitratc the
Venezuelan boundary question Is credit
able to both countries. 1t is the method
which our own country has desired from
the first. There was n feeling in Great
Britain that the United Statea had no
right 10 Interfere.
The British press was ailamc with In
dignat!on because this country Insisted
that It had rights In this hemisphere and
must be consulted about the Venezuelan
matter. We were given to understand
that there was nothing. in the Venczue-
Ian question which gave the United
States right to be a party to arbitra-
ton,
The agreement now reached comedies
our right TO be consulted about affairs
in this western hemisphere, n right
which II was the intention OF every true
American to maintain. 1t Is creditable
10 British common sense and to British
ability to perceive situation, that there
Is to be no occasion for the last resort
10 establish our standing in this regard.
For this reason, and because every
agreement TO arbI,rate an important
question Is distinct gain for the world,
arbitration OF the Venezuelan question
is n triumph OF civilization. Tho old
way was 10 go to war about almost
everything. The new and better way Is
10 go 10 war about nothing that can be
settled without war.
Any war is bad. War between two
such countries as Great Britain and the
United States would be too horrible to
think OF. Instead OF these strong, self
respecting, Understanding nations trying
10 destroy each other. they give once
more 10 the world the benefit OF their In
spring example in the peaceful settle
ment OF great question In the arena OF
intellectual combat before the highest
kind OF judicial body.
Barbarism Is incapable OF this. lack
ing the moral sense to appreciate Its
great benefits to the world. Civilization
understands 1t and rejolces over such n
triumph.

Next Saturday in his home city, Mr..
Bryan Is to make two speeches in favor
OF free silver. The understanding is
that these talks are TO open the cam
paign which he is TO carry on up to the
next presidential election.
Al the rate OF two for every working
day in the year Mr.. Bryan can get in
about 1900 talks In the next four years.
II they have the same effect as he pro-
duced by his talks In the campaign Just
closed he will aid materially In the cleo
ton OF another Republican President.
In this view OF the case the RepublI-
can national committee might well issue
an appeal for funds to enable it TO help

Bryan In the field. 1t should not all be
left to the silver trust.
