Viii EnrIana Pre.ent Her cn.ef

The Venezuela boundary commission
has announced that it is ready to IN
dertake the task assigned it. and the
Secretary Of State has communicated that
fact 10 the governments OF Great Britain
and Venezuela through their respective
ministers at Washington. There is no
doubt. of course, that Venezuela will pre-
promptness. but what course will Great
Britain take in the natter VIII she take
the position that the United States have
nothing whatever TO do with the dispute.
and that, as she would not abide by the
decision. if it should be against her. 1t
would be useless to present the facts she
has to sustain the position she has taken?
If that should be the attitude of Great
Britain she would undoubtedly loose the
sympathy of other nations to a certain
extent. but it would not justify the con-
clusiOn that she is afraid Of an investiga-
ton OF the dispute. She can not possibly
have doubt that she would receive fair
treatment. Her. minister at Washington
will inform her that the men who COM
pose the commission are of such high
character. and are so anxious to do what
is right, that there isn't the remotest
danger that all facts and arguments will
not be fairly considered.
The people Of this country, and there is
reason to believe the people of Great Brit
ain also, would be glad If the British gov
eminent should come forward frankly and
present its case to the commission. Neither
people are anxious for war, for both rec
ognize that a war between them would
be a bitter and destructive one.
OF course. England would not necessar-
lily be bound by the decision of the commits
sion. If it was against her she could
honorably pursue any course she might
think advisable. Venezuela would, doubt
less. accept it, whatever it might be.
1t is well understood that the task of
the commission is a great one. 1t will
consist chiefly in determining the anthem
ITCHY of the documents submitted to it,
While it is not now thought it will have
to go outside of Washington for data,
there is a probability that a sub-commis-
sion may be sent to Europe. 1t is quite
certain that a vast amount of evidence
bearing on the boundary dispute will be
discovered

President Hector d. Lane of the Cot
ton Growers Association attributes the
low price of cotton to the financial trou-
BILE and the war scare. The war scare
is as yet only a comparatively small mat
ter; the financial trouble is the great
bear influence in the cotton market 1t
should be borne in the mind of every cot
ton producer that the financial trouble
was brought on by the republican party,
and that the free silverites are preventing
settlement of the trouble. If the money
question were settled hundreds of small
bore politicians would drop forever out
of sight That is the reason they are do
ing all in their power to prevent a set

Miss Clara Barton, president Of the Red
Cross Society. will go to Turkey and
make a personal appeal to the sultan for
permission to distribute relief in the
stricken districts of Armenia. Miss Bar
tons pluck can only be admired. Still it
cannot be seen that there is any ground
for hope that she will be successful. The
sultan has very little. if any. respect for
women. He will care no more for the ap-
peals of a Christian woman than for the
wishes of one of his slaves. There is no
chivalry in the Turk. His religion and
civilization are not Of the kind TO soften
him toward womanhood. Miss Barton is
brave; but If she is sensible, she will
not depend upon those white horses Of
the host of heaven" which Dr. Talmage
told about the other day. to come down
and trample under their hoofs" those who
hinder her in her charitable work.

1t is said that the subcommittee of the
national republican committee having in
charge the arrangements for the enter
tanning of delegates to the national con-
vention in st. Louis will insist that the
hotel keepers make no discrimination be-
tween white and black guests during the
convention; that is to say. the black dele
gates and the white delegates must be
lodged in the same buildings and probably
in the same rooms. and fed in the same
dining rooms. If that programme is adj
hered to it goes without saying that
there will be lively old row in St. Louis
along color lines during the time. The
white republicans are no more in favor
of social equality than are the white dem
ocrats.

The Charleston News and Courier gives
editorial publicity TO the fact that it has
in its Office an operator on the Mergantha-
Ter type machine who has set $500 ems
Of nonpariel type in nine hours and nifty
five minutes. the rate being a little more
than $50 ems per hour. Our contempor-
airy thinks this speed establishes the re-
cord for southern newspaper Offices, and
says: IF there is any machine operator
in these diggings who would like to try
to beat this record it would probably
not be hard to get up contest" The
News and Courier mans speed is, indeed.
fair. But it is not record breaking. or even
brilliant. The Morning News has in its
composing room no less than five men who
can go our contemporary champion quite
5000 ems better on ten hours work. They
think they are doing only fairly swift work
when they set 1000 ems an hour.

The Georgia Melon.

Old Georgia's wonders never cease:
Her miracles, they still increase.
And now her famous melon,
That wflted when the first frost came
Till Christmas time. remains the same
And helps the Yuletide spell on.
Her cottonfields still wider spread,
Her vans are crowded in the bed.
Her cane grows skyward taller:
Her coonS and DosSums fatter grow
And sweeter her magnolias blow
Gods Kingdom" now they cali her.
The Georgia crackers" head is up;
While Overlooking now his cup
With cane juice, sweet as honey;
He's sold his cotton, cribbed his corn;
He's now in town slick, clean and shorn
And pocket full of money.
He's here to buy another mule.
N boxing axe, a barb wire spool;
More turpentine he's stilling:
His hat has six inch wider brim
The Georgia crackers "in the swim.
And Susy says, shes willing
Old Georgia's wonders never cease;
With all the world she's now at peace.
And tenders it her melon;
You'll taste it's sweetness first in May
And then till Christmas it will stay,
To help the Yuletide spell on.

The appearance Of Irving and Terry at
the theater tomorrow night will be an
event of the theatrical season. The
prices of seats are considerably above the
regular prices. Every person who at
tends will wish to see just as much of the
performance as possible. An unobstruet-
ed view of the stage, therefore, is greatly
to be desired. An unobstruct-
ed view cannot be obtained if some of
the ladies who go insist upon wearing big
hats with great plumes. 1t is to be hoped
that the big hats will be left at home. If,
however, they make their appearance,
1t will be entirely proper for those who are
made the victims of the annoyance to
make a personal request of the owners of
them that they be removed, and if the
request is not complied with to complain
to the ushers.

some CurIous onInion..

The opinions expressed in the public
prints. as to the effect Gen. Harrisons
engagement to Mrs Dimmick will have
upon his presidential prospects. are as
curious as they are interesting. In Wash
ington the opinion is gravely advanced
that the engagement win take him out of
the list Of presidential possibilities. An
other set of people are confident that it
will improve his presidential prospects
They declare that Mrs. Dimmick. being
young and ambitious. will insist upon his
making special efforts to get the nominal
ton.
AS a matter of fact it is not known
whether she is anxious to shine in the
white house or not. There are friends of
hers who say she is not. and that she
win use her influence to have him an
nounce that he has had all the glory he
cares for as a public man.
Another story that is ahoat is that i'm
mediately after his marriage he will start
on a trip around the world, and therefore
will not be in the country when the ma
tonal republican convention meets.
AS matter of fact, nobody knows what
Gen. Harrison's plans are. And there are
no good reasons for thinking that his
marriage will affect His chances for the
presidential nomination one way or the
other. His marriage is matter of which
the politicians will take very little notice.
They don't care whether he marries or
not. Those of them who are sincerely
anxious for the success of their party
will consider the question of his availa-
bility only. and his personal friends and
those who hope to profit by his success
will work just as hard for him, now that
it is known that he is to be married, as
they would if it were certain he would
remain a widower the remainder of his
days. His marriage will cut no figure
whatever in his presidential prospects,
though the question whether Mrs. Dim
mick wants him to enter the political
arena again may have much to do with
his decision as to whether or not he will
be a candidate for the nomination.

The congressional prayer is looming up
as quite an important function. The chap
lain of the House signalized his induction
into office by praying a Monroe doctrine
prayer. which many of the jingoes ap-
plauded, and now he has worked some
good lobbying for the recognition of the
Cuban insurgents into his supplication.
What influence the congressional prayer
will have upon the shaping of our foreign
policy remains to be seen.

Senator Tillman of South Carolina says
he is in favor of the free coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to 1, in unlimited
quantities. by this country alone, with
out waiting for the agreement of any
other country and that nine-tenths of the
people of his state are with him in the
matter. He is looked upon as being in
sympathy with the movement to form a
new silver party, in the event of the ma
tional democracy's refusal to adopt a free
silver platform upon the lines stated. If
the senator really thinks he is backed by
so large a percentage of the population
Of the state, it is quite likely that he will
be out of the democratic party before
next fall. and will try to take the state
with him. For there is not the least like
lihood that the 1s to / idea will receive
the sanction of the democratic national
convention.

A Debt Paid.

Surprise has been expressed in the pub
lie prints that President Kruger, of the
South African republic, sent DIR. jane
son, who was the leader in, the attempt to
overthrow the government of the repub-
lie, to England to be tried for his ,offense
instead of ordering him to be shot, as he
would have been justified in doing. The
real reason is said to be that President
Kruger owed DR.. Jameson a great debt
of gratitude, and that he would make
almost any sacrifice to do him personal
favor. The story of his obligation to DR..
Jameson is this-at least, it is the story
that is being told to explain President
Kruger's clemency: DR.. Jameson was edu-
Gated as physician, and until few years
ago he practiced his profession. 1t was
two years ago that President Kruger was
desperately i'll with fever at Pretoria the
capital of the republic. No skillful physi-
clan was at hand, and the chances for the
presidents recovery were not considered
good. Some of the presidents close friends
remembered that DIR. jameson, who was
then at the Kimberley diamond mines,
a long way from Petoria, had been re-
garded as an excellent physician before
he abandoned the medical profession, and
they sent for him to come and do what
he could to save the presidents life He
responded to the summons, and served the
president faithfully both as a nurse and
physician. The President recovered, and
was very grateful to DR.. Jameson. When
he had DIR. jameson in his power, and
could have put an end lawfully to his ca
reer, he remembered what the doctor had
done for him, and instead of sending him
to his grave he sent him to England.

There is some little comfort in knowing
that Brazil also has on hand a quarrel
with Great Britain. If Chile would only
unearth a grievance against the lion, it
would be still better. Brazil and Chile
are the only countries of South America
that have navies worth talking about
Both of these have some good, modern
fighting craft, and their men had some
practice in actual naval warfare not so
long ago. Uncle Sam might find them
useful allies in the event of matters com
ing to the point of war.

A Doubtful Presidential Year.
From the Baltimore Sun Dem)

There probably never has been, certainly
not within the recollection of the present
generation, a presidential year the out
come of which has been wrapped in so much
uncertainty as this present year, 1895. We
do not refer so much to the final result
next November as to the more immediate
questions TO be decided within the next
four or five months. Both of the great
parties have settled upon the place and
the date for holding their national con-
ventions. Neither, however, in the Sc
lection of time or place is any indication
given of the probable choice of either
party in the matter of candidates.

Keeley's motor is not yet quite finish
ed" but will be shortly" He showed
the apparatus, not in motion, to some
friends the other day and told them that
he was at last about to perfect the So
luton of the ''polar-depolar sympathetic
force" He says it always makes him I'M
easy whenever he exhibits the apparatus,
for the reason that he fears the pres
ence of some unsympathetic person will
cause the machine not to work. 1t must
be that Kelley is depending upon the
spirits to supply his invention with pow
er. The spiritualists are always talking
about the danger of failure of their ex-
periments because of the presence of I'M
sympathetic persons. The New York
Times expresses the opinion that Kelley
is about to become a medium" and place
the apparatus under spirit protection.

From Springfield (Mass) Republican Qnd)
About every paper in the country, agri-
cultural and other has denounced the
congressional seed distribution business
as a humbug, but the congressman are
apparently to vote an order upon Secre-
tary Morton to resume the old practice.
He talked to the Senate committee on agri-
culture last week about it, but made no
Roadway, and a report against him will
be the result. 1t is a cheap device of con-
gressmen to tickle some of their constit-
uents, and so will be maintained by them
at government expense to the last ditch.
