The Venezuelan episode has brought out an

They are representive American citizens, and
of them the university is justly proud. We
cannot but regret the unfortunate conse-
quences Of the presidents message, but we
have good right to feel genuinely pleased
that since congress decided that a national
commission should be chosen, President

IN THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Sir Edward Clarke Says Mediator
Must BE Found.

Must BE Found.
LONDON, Jan. s.-The Times this morning
publishes four columns explaining the origin
of the Monroe doctrine. Sir Edward Clarke
speaking at Plymouth last evening, in re-
ferring to Venezuela, said:
1--WE must not be too impatient or angry
with the Monroe doctrine If we refuse to
arbitrate except outside the Schomburgk line
we should have war with the United States,
and war in which we should not be right.
Each side must yield to some extent. We
must ignore the American commission, but
to say that line fixed in 1910 was unalter-
able was to adopt unreasonable an attitude
as the United States adopted in President
Cleveland's message"
He hoped that the government would re-
sumo negotiations with Venezuela direct, and
that some mediator would be found whose
judgment could be accepted with honor by
both countries. 1t would not be pleasant to
hear that England yielded after President
Cleveland's message, but he did not believe
in a bastard honor which feared to do JUS
tice because justice had been demanded with
insult OF menace.
The close of Sir Edward Clarke's remarks
was greeted with cheers.
