Board Of Cancellation.

Tuesdays issue of the West
minister Gazette, in speaking OF
the Venezuelan affair, under the
caption, "A Way OUT says:
while the question, intrinsi.
cally, IS not important, inciden-
tally it is of great Importance
that Great Britain cannot retreat
from the position she has taken
up and the United States will
not retreat from theirs. The
only method of escape from this
deadlock which shall impose
neither humiliation nor retreat
on either side is to find some
thing which is not arbitration
but which is as like it as posi-
ble."
Continuing, the paper suggests
a "board OF conciliation."
Board of Cancellation be blow
ed. If England has made an err
ror in an attempt to grab terri
tory to which she has no claim,
as appears to be the case, let
her retreat, with honor and in
peace if she so desires, but 9th
erwise make her retreat ignomin-
iously by defeat.

at an end, and everybody has
again got down to a stern reali.
cation of the fact that it is '95
no more, and that tie new year,
with it's full quota of possibili
ties is now on tap.
We welcome it as q year of
prospective prosperity to Vir'
ginia.
AS a year of political revolu-
tion, both local and general. and
the carrying of the straight re.
publican ticket in every hamlet
and state in the union.
AS year of peace and plenty;
Of bloodless settlements of inter.
national disputes; of an amicable
and just settlement of the cur
rency question and of the out
lining, by republican congress-,
of a governmental policy which
will rescue the country from the
slough of despond into which it
has been plunged by democratic
misrule.
Soliloquizing thusly, it is with
a sense of relief that We bid
adieu to the old and with best
wishes to all that we hail the
Happy New Year.

tor, but I want to know where your
home is.''
Ine witness said he lived in the house
where the barber shop is. On the day of
the murder he was looking out of the rear
second story window and saw De Fonzo
chasing Grarone. A woman was running
along with them. De Fonzo struck Gra-
rome two blows. Grarone ran about fifty
feet and fell. The woman fell ON top of
him. TIL witness learned afterward that
the woman was De Fonzo's wife. She
