'"ilat all the territory east of the
Schomburgk line could not be
submitted to arbitration, although
the territory west Of it would will
lingly be 80 submitted. The
Schomburgk line was established
in 1840-4l, or more than fifty
years ago, and has since been CON
sidered by Great Britain as the
boundary of her colony. She has
exercised sovereign rights within
the said line, and her subjects
have settled and traded there
without active hindrance from
Venezuela. Evidently, therefore.
Lord Salisbury will claim that
the prescription clause will apply
to all territory east of the Schom-
kurgk line, and, that, therefore,
such territory is not to be submit
ted to the arbitration commission,
except for the confirmation Of the
title.
1t IS, therefore, by no means
clear that the settlement has been
triumph for American diplom-
acy. That point will be settled
more definitely after the sittings
of the arbitration commission are
begun. The selection of King
Oscar as the fifth arbitrator was
not favorable to our side of the
CONTROVERSY, as his interests lie
more naturally with England than
with us.
AS the United States sacrifices
no principles by the settlement
whichhas been reached, it is
probably as we'll that the matter
is definitely and amicably arrang-
ed. The Monroe doctrine has
been. yindicated, as Great Britain
has practically recognized our
rights to intervene. That is IL
substantial advantage at any rate,
even if we gain nothing else and
Venezuela should lose all that
she Claims.-Picayune.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The public schocl Is the institution
which says that the poor boy, though
he may cat coarser food. and wear a
shabbier coat, and dwell IN a smaller
house and work earlier aud later and
harder than his rich companion, still
shall have his eyes trained to behold
the same glory in the heavens and
The same beauty in the earth; shall
have bis mind developed to appreci-
ate the same sweetness in music and
the same lovelincss IN nrt shall have
his heart opcnld TO enjoy the same
literary treasures and the same phlo-
sophie truths; shall have his soul
stirred by the same social influences
and the same splritnai ideals MS the
children OF his Weather neighbors.
The socialism Of wealth. the equal
izatioh Of material conditions, Is at
present an idle dream, contradicto-
ry conception; toward which society
can take, no doubt, few faltering
steps, but which no mechanical in
vention or constitutional device can
hope to realize in our day. The So
cia!ism Of the intellect, the offering
TO oil OF the true riches OF an enlight-
enod mind and heart that is trained
TO love the true, the beautiful and
the good this is a possibility for the
children Of every workingman; and
the public school Is the channel
through which this common fund OF
intellectual and spiritual wealth IS
freely distributed alike 10 rich and
poor.
Here native and foreign born
should meet to learn the common laE-
gunge and 10 cherish the common his
tory and traditions Ct our country
here the son OF the rich man should
learn TO respect the dignity of manlal

NEW ORLEANS AS A GRAIN PORT

The benefits resulting from the
Improvement in our terminal fac
ilities, wharyes elevators, etc.
are coming sooner than expected; I;
and it is quite evident that New
Orleans cannot delay its fight for
commercial supremacy, but must
begin it at once. The contest has
been precipitated earlier than ex-
pected by the attention which
the Stuyyesant docks and other
improvements here have attract
ed.
When Minnesota holds out her
hands to Us and proposes to deal
with New Orleans, when the pres
ident of the Massachusetts, Board
OF Trade expresses the opinion
that New Orleans is Boston's 3
greatest and most dangerous rival
commercially, and when the
Board of Trade of New York CITY
appeals to the interstate com
merce commission against dis
crImlnatory rates turning the
grain trade Of the west-in this di-
rection, it is evident that we are
already svstnp ing to reap the
fruits of recent improvements.
The visit of the president and
committee Of the Illinois grain
dealer association, now in New
Orleany, for the purpose of in
specting in facilities for hand
ling, storing and shipping grain,
is another straw which shows
which way the wind is blowing

The comptroller states that Examiner
Lynch reports having left matters in

satisfactory progress is being made

SPAIN PUSHING MATTERS.

The renewed reports that the Uni
ted States was about TO intervene IN
lhe Cuban conflict are not confirmed
IN Official quarters, nor is there any
/ evidence to indicate that az the pres
ent time tho United States has under
consideration any change in its poll
cy. The only available information
tteuchlng here Is that the Spanish
military operations begun early in
October are about to 90 forwprd
with greater energy than at any pre-
vious tune. Important results are
expected from this forward move
ment within tile next three weeks.
There are now $4,000 moro Spanish
troops en- route for Cuba. They will
be distributed in the western proyin.
ees. II Is expected that with these
additional troops IN position the four
western provinces will be completely
garrlsoned and occupied at every
point by government troops.

one 10 the south and the other In the
north Of the island. The main pur-
pose OF the troops has been To oceu-
I py the mountain passes, and this
has proceeded so rapidly that 1t is
asserted here positively that every
approach and egress 10 the mountain
is now commanded by heavy force
OF Spanish troops. This plan OF cam
paigu Is reliel on to force the insur-
gents to fight in the open country.
The civil affairs Of Cuba also have
undergone change within recent
days. BY agreement between the
leaders Of liberal, the conservative
and home rule parties, constituting
all the loyal elements, they have
merged into one party known as the
party OF "common defense" The
main feature Of the agreement Is the
termination Of the rebellion by any
plan Of autonomy which shall be put
into operation.

mittce visited us only few years
ago we would have been compell-
cd TO make apologies and explain
ations, but these are now alto
gether unnecessary. We would
thon have called attention to the
magnificent advantages that New
Orleans possessed with the great
river in front and deep water TO
the gulf; and the committee
would probably have reported
that New Orleans, as far as It's
situation is concerned, was nd
mirahly situated to handle the
grain trade of the interior, but
that it was lacking in elevators,
wharves, etc, and that it was
scarcely advisable forthe western
farmers to ship their grain yia
this port, in view Of the fact that
il would probably have to stand
stored for several weeks in cars
sidetracked and unable TO reach
the vessel for which it was intend
ed. The committee of the Illi-
nois Grain Dealers association
will have very different story to
tell this time; and their investi-
CATION, we feel satisfied, will re-
suit in bringing even more prom

BUSINESS BOOMING.

Factories are being opened in
all the manufacturing cities of
the north ahd west, and employ
ment, according to the press re-
ports, is being given a large num-
ber of men who have been idle
for long time. Other factories
which have been running only
three or four days in the week.
with a small number Of men, are
now running on full time and with
a full force. If this revival of
business continues, as we hope it
will, ibshould not be long before
the effect of good times is felt all
over the country, AMI there is ac-
tivity and prosperity in all the
channels of trade. In view of
the depression from which the
country from which the country
has suffered for the last three
years, let us all hope that the
present revival will increase and
be permanent.--New Orleans

Inasmuch as Germany is showing
some anxiety to get hold of one or
two Of the Danish West indies, this
government ought to look over the
property and see whether it would
not be good thing to attach to our

would be glad TO give the islands to

TO u sugar estate, near the town
OF San Jose de las Layas, in Hay-
