what our Commission stands for

In standing firmly against such aggres-
sions in the Western hemisphere, the
United States pursues policy which
Europe can only regard with respect
policy the righteousness and the value Of
which every great European power is al
ways ready (conildentally) 10 admit in its
intercourse with our own government.
1t 10 not 80 much that any OF them wish
to make fresh accessions in the Western
hemisphere, as that in their jealousy of
each other they do not propose TO be out
witted il the scramble should really
set in. The American Commission on
the Venezuelan case, therefore represents
before the eyes of the world at once the
firmness and the moderation of America,
its desire for exact justice and its purpose
that in justice shall not be allowed to
work disturbance 10 the normal balance OF
things on this side of the ocean. This atti-
tude on the part OF the United States has had
an amazing effect in arousing the senti
ment of the world 10 favor of our American
methods of arbitration, as against the
European methods of ultimatums and the
resort to arms From The "PFogreSS

The Court of Errors and Appeals holds
that many of the school bonds issued by the
districts of this State are invalid, because
the money raised was not entirely used
for the purpose of erecting school house
1t has been the habit Of school trus-
tees to consider the erection of school
to include the putting in of the black
boards, water supply, grading, fencing
and other needful work In test case
the court decides that bonds cannot be
issued for furnishing a school house,
though grading and fencing are consider
ed legal. Money for seating, desks aud
other furniture must be provided in other
ways. There is a feeling in the educa-
tional department to question the deci-
sion. 1t is alleged that the furnishing OF
a school certainly is more essential than
the grading of the yard or the erection Of
a fence. The school can be run without
the ground being graded or fence being
erected, but cannot be opened until 1t is
furnished.

To Coin Silver Dollars.

About February the Treasury Depart
ment will resume the coinage of silver dol
lars and continue until about $1S,OOO.OOo
have been coined. When the present adj
ministration came into power there were In
the treasury about $29,O0O,OO0 in silver dol
lars coined from bullion purchased under
the act of 1880 and available for the re-
demption of treasury notes issued in pay
ment Of the bullion purchased. Since Au-
gust, 1893, about s1S,O0O,O00 of these notes
have been redeemed in silver dollars and
Cancelled. The Secretary of the Treasury
has now decided to coin from the bullion
now on hand and purchased under the act
of 1890 about $1S,O0O,O 600, which will restore
the amount Of dollars in the treasury towhat
it was on March 4. 1893. The average cost
CT the silver bullion purchased under the
Sherman act was II IL cents on the dol
lar which leaves a gain or seigniorage OF
% 10 cents on the dollar. At this rate the
seigniorage on the s1S,00O,G00 to be coined
would be SIS, 100 600. which will be account
ed for in the available cash on hand in
creasing it by that amount The order fol-
the resumption of the coinage at the minis
at Philadelphia, New Orleans and San
Francisco is expected in a day or two.

for the carrying out of the convention ar
borne by the citizens of ST. Louis under the
direction of the subcommittee.

Is to bear all expenses that he may be put
to in attending the convention. 1t was
thought wisest and best in order that there
might be no misunderstanding to have this
definitely settled The citizens committee
however, will provide rooms for the meeting
of the national committee for transacting
Its official business in connection with the
convention.
When completed it is estimated that the
exposition building will seat at least 5000
people, and will have ample committee and
retiring rooms, with every facility provided
for the work Of the press and the telegraph
companies.

The annual session of the State Bar AS

triotism and Jingoism - The Lawyers
Duty He said in part, in relation to The
Presidents message on the Monroe doc
trine and its application to the Venezuela
dispute:
THE Presidents message to Congress
presents a novel view of the principle If
there is a dispute as to boundary line be-
tween a South American republic and a
European power, no matter how insfgnif-
cant the territory involved, or how distant
ly it effects the independence of the coun-
try, or how remotely it may interest us,
we must demand that the two governments
arbitrate the line, and if they refuse, we
must find out as best we can what the line
is, and enforce it by war. If, however,
pending our inquiry, the two parties agree,
we have no further rights or duties. This
seems to surrender the doctrine, if Venezu-
ella or Brazil chooses to sell portion of its
lands. A slight extension of the principle
compels us to assume a protectorate over
all these republics

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Pittsburg says:
President Frank De Hass Robson of the
Cleveland Base Ball Club came here this
afternoon and met President w. L. Kerr
of the Pittsburg club at the Union depot.
Mr.. Robson said:
"Mr. Kerr, I have stopped over here to
offer you $4,000 and two players for Pitcher
Hawley. What have you to say about it?'
Mr.. Kerr lost his breath for a while and
sank to a seat. Then he thought that Mr..
Robson was joking, and smile began to
dawn on the Pittsburger's face. But the
Cleveland magnate maintained his stern
look at Mr.. Kerr and resumed:
well, what have you to say? mean 1t.
I'm not joking"
why, $4,000 is a great amount of
money; but what would we do If we sold
Hawley? oh, no; we cannot under any

In an interview Robson said: II want

DIES MONIES VALLEY LAND.
Another Special Report I'm the Long
Drawn Out Affair.

Drawn Out Affair.
The Des Moines valley seems destined to
furnish business for the general land Office
and the Secretary OF the Interior for many
years to come. Yesterday another volumin-
Gus report was received by Secretary Smith
from r. L. Berner, the special agent sent
to look into the disputed claims in the Des
Moines river land grant. Several investiga-
tons have been made under four or five
administrations, and congressional COM
mittees have made scores Of reports on the
direction of Secretary Noble in 1892 but
the discovery of many filings in the Des
Moines land office, of which no record
could be found at the Interior Department,
has increased the work. There were 526
applications filed for the lands All claims
considered separately are listed and the
aggregate where indemnity should be
awarded nearly consumes the present ap-
preparation.
AS usual in government cases the COM
missioner rejects all claims for value of
improvements on lands taken from them;
for the amount paid for attorneys fees by
claimants in defense Of government title In
suits brought by the grantees and assigns
under the act of 1916, for interest, and for
value of mineral deposits in lands covered
by their claims.
Indemnity is awarded in cases where the
evidence shows entrymen who paid The
government price for these lands and had
received patents and final receipts nave
been repaid by the department.
From all accounts the man VINO settled
on Des Moines valley land was born under
an unlucky star.
