The Venezuelan Disnufe

The Venezuelan dispute, which
reached its crisis about year ago. has
served TO emphasize the fact That so
far as Great Britain is concerned that
country known as the United States
of America still remains upon the
map of the western hemisphere. The
great American eagle, naturally
peacefully inclined, permitted the
British lion to roam at large down in
Venezuela until he thought he owned
that part of the planet, and then.
prompted by the patriotic spirit en-
bodied in the Monroe doctrine gave
his tail a fist, which attracted his
attention TO the settled policy of this
government upon questions Of this
character. For many years the United
States authorities had yainly pro-
tested against the aggressive attitude
of Great Britain in Venezuela, and at
last proposed TO submit the matter to
arbitration. The British government
scornfully refused to arbitrate. and
then it was that President Cleveland
again proved himself equal to a
emergency, sending a speo'~- one

land .Siye manner in which Cleve-
- codified so tersely the American
.dea of the Monroe doctrine inspired
The British government with the
thought that after all the differences
should be arbitrated, and measures TO
this end were at once entered upon.
A recognition by arbitration of the
principles involved in the Monroe
doctrine is a long stepin the direction
of peaceful settlement of questions
affected thereby, and the precedent
thus established will doubtless prove
a beneficent one. The stern arbitra-
ment of war should always be avoided

GamalIel Cook, aged ~ years, s months

MIR Gamaliel Cook was born i'm New
England March IA, 1878. He married
there a cultivated young woman, who
shared his fortunes and superintendent
his home until her death at this place
Oct. 10, 1880. Moved by the spirit of
enterprise that prevailed in the DAYS
before the var, Mr. Cook left the East
soon after his marriage to seek home in
the West. He found this nome in Pierce
Co, purchasing, soon after his arrival, a
farm In what is now known as Pierce
Valley.
About twelve years ago, with a desire
to afford his children better advantages
of education, he took up lis residence in
River Falls and engaged in the local ex-
press business. Until within a year or
two this city has been his home, though
his last days have been spent with his
daughter, Mrs. Paris Price.
A man of quiet life, he was faithful to
all the duties imposed upon him; he won
the confidence of all the community. and
was kind and pleasant neighbor as well
as welcome member of the social circle.
Since the death of his wife his health
seemed rapidly to fail, and he has several
times wandered near to the point of
death. de leaves three daughters and
one son to mourn his loss.

How il Works,

While the people of England applaud
the ascendancy of the honest money
sentiment in this country. the
certainty that the policy of protection
TO American industry is again to pre-
vail here makes them weary. The
English manufacturer prefers for
this country revenue tariff that
doesn't revenue" and now he knows
the Wilson tariff law is doomed, will
run his factory to its utmost capacity
that he may fill up American store
houses before another protective
tariff law can be enacted. For this
reason there will ne cessarily be some
delay in the American manufacturer
reaping the full benefits to be derived
from the recent Republican victory.
But when the Fifty-ffth Congress
gets In It's work on the great American
idea OF Protection, our English cousins
will think louder than ever that this
is a "blarstcd country.n

ST. PAUL.

Mr.. Seeley, formerly of Maiden
Rock, once in the employ of the street
railway company and later in mercan-
tile business in the city, is located in a
village in this state, we learn.
Some misguided people have plan
ned to have an ice palace and carnival
again. this winter. Is there no bet
ter way to spend money, and is it wise
TO boom the city by Boosting of its
fabulous ice crop?
Our schools are still without sup
erintendent and the school board are
thinking deeply, it may be assumed,
which one of the forty applicants they
will elect. Sumner FaruSworth is an
active candidate and is, to say the
least. among the possibilities. The
wishes and judgment of the late de-
parted incum bent, many think, will
govern the board in making their Sc
lection of his successor. If so, it is
likely that some one outside the city
will be selected.
Henry Cummings, formerly of River
Fla Is, is in a sanitorium at Battle
Greek, Mich, very sick and the worst
is feared. His wife has also been serl-
ously ILL., They have resided in this
city for some years.
Prof. G.. l.. Bowman of the West SUI
perior Normal will engage in institute
work after Thanksgiving by special
request of the Douglas Co. teachers.

"feel big just because his merits
have been discovered. He always had
them the merits in large quantities.

The Norma l Lecture Course

As is somewhat generally known,
through the columns of the Journal
and the agency of the students, an eff
fort is being made to secure an unuS-
ually excellent series of lectures for
the coming season.
Instead of the University Extension
lectures, which have been in vogue
for several years, it is proposed to Sc
cure the services of four or five lee
turers of national reputation and SUI
perior ability TO entertain and instruct
US and TO arouse the enthusiasm
which is the most direct benefit to be
secured from any platform effort,
brief as, from the nature OF the case,
it is compelled to be.
Thus far the response from the
students has been phenomenal, more
than $50 course tickets having been
already subscribed for.
The plan is to secure the best guar
antee possible OF the patronage likely
70 be given TO the course and then Sc
cure the best talent the prospects will
warrant.
The names thus far proposed are,
Robert j. Burdett. the philosopher
humorist, VIII Carleton, author of
Farm Ballads, Booker L. Washington,
the colored orator, Mr.. French (or
Mr.. Blackton) crayon artist, and Mr..
Littlefeld or Mrs. Ruth McHenry
Stuart. magazine writer's from New
York city. 1t is hoped that this
lady's services may be secured, as she
rs coming 10 st. Paul for reading in
that city in January.
We hope, in securing this KIND OF
talent. to enlist the cooperation or
the citizens, who, it is thought, may
have sufficient interest to take course
tickets in advance, aud thus enable
the committee, if the patronage war
rants, TO substitute still better talent
for some OF those already contem-
Mated. There is no desire on the
part OF the Literary Society 10 moro
than meet expenses and, IL the pat
ronage is liberal, better talent ean be
secured.
The price for the course ticket has
been fixed at the very Low charge OF
$50 fes five evenings, students and
citizens being charged the same. Sim
gle admissions will be not less than
soc and some of them. il GRIND Con-
cert Company proves TO be among the
possibilities. may be more. You will
be waited upon soon for a subscrip-
ton to the course.
