ment, and good sentiment, for this
government to proclaim that we will
protect the Venezuelans from British
aggression; will save them their gold
fields from British rapacity. But is it
not of much more Importance for us to
protect our own territory from British
aggression? There will be but one an
swer to that question. Senator Squire
is probably right i'll consenting to let
the matter go first to an international
commission. That is the method of
peace; and our people prefer peace at
all times. But judging the present by
the past, after the international com
mission shall have acted, it is probable
that we will be obliged to defend our
Alaskan possessions either with the dis
play or the discharge of lRuvy guns.
Great Britain has started after the gold
of Alaska, and she will cling to her
claim until driven away from it by
force, or the argument of force.

The Boot on tho other Foot.

In hunters lore there is an idea that
the jackal is the lions provider; that
he locates the game and takes the lion
to it. This superstition has no more
foundation than is found in the fact
that after lion has slain his quarry
the jackals always attend and wait the.
conclusion of the repast, in order to
pick up the leavings.
