The Practical Situation.

We have never known n ease oi
international dispute i'm which, on all
gounds. n settlement by arbitration
seemed more urgently advisable;-and
Lord Salisbury $ denial of our friendly
request seems to us as reckless and as
evil thing as modern history can
show. His expressed contempt for
tine Monroe doctrine is wholly often
sive to us as n nation. But Sails
bury will not always be Prime Minis
should triumph in our relations with
England without one single hint of
SO inconceivably horrible a. catas-
trophe az war. While we believe
Lord Salisbury wrong and Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary
Olney right regarding the applica-
bility of the Monroe doctrine and the
principles of arbitration to the Vene-
zuelan difficulty. it does not seem to
us that the resources of diplomacy
have been by any means exhausted.
We are confident that the Venezuelan
question will he settled within this
year 1856, and that the sober, peace
loving people of England and the
United States will conclude not to
hate each other or to fight each
other 1t would be entirely imprac-
ticable for us to send a commission
to the region i'm dispute; but we
heartily approve of the plan of "A
commission sitting i'm Washington
who will advise our government con-
cerning the downright merits of. the
controversy. Meanwhile, it is not in
the least necessary or desirable to
contemplate hostilities as "a result of
light which such commission may
throw upon the boundary questions.
The questions involved are histori-
cal ones which can be as readily
determined in Washington as any
where else. The controversy is one
of at least fifty years standing, and
all the facts have been already com.
pletely unearthed. All that Great
Britain can claim has been printed
i'm British blue books: and, more
over. Lord Salisbury's letter con
tains the best presentation of the
British case that experts could make
with unlimited time at their dis
posal. President Cleveland's com
mission, assuming that it will b'
duly appointed. will have merely tt
look into the merits of these claims
already presented by Great Britain
: and to examine the Venezuelan
claims, which, with all the evidence
that is procurable, have already beeI
carefully formulated.-From "Th
Progress of the World in the Jan

THE TIE BROKEN.
Democratic Representative Wilson Dies---Dr.
Hunter Nominated for Senator.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 1.-Repre-
sentative Isaac Wilson of Nelson
county, died this morning. His last
earthly act was his vote cast In eau
Gus for Blackburn, by his friend Sen
ator George Fulton, last night,
while Wilson lay dying in the Capt.
tol hotel. He came here knowing
full well he would be taken home
only as a corpse, but was determined,
as he said, that the last act of his
life should be to help his old comrade
in arms. Senator Blackburn. Death
breaks the tie in the legislature. The
Republicans have IS votes, Demo-
Gratis 81, Populists 2. The Populists
will vote for the Republican nominee
for United States senator.
The Republican caucus to nomi-
nate candidate for United States
senator was called to order shortly
after o'clock by Senator Jones,
chairman. The announcement that
but one name, that OF Hunter. would
be placed in nomination went far to
lessen interest in the proceedings
DIR. Hunter was nominated by accla-
nation.
The Blackburn men say there
shall never be a joint session or q
ballot for United States senator
until the vacancy caused by Wilson's
death is filled. The speaker will
lprObably call a epecfal election an
soon as Wilson's funeral and inter-
ment are over, but as 10 days notice
OF the elecrion must be given, the
joint session II ever held, cannot be
held until Jan. 2l, the day fixed by
law.

How He Got 1t and the Difficulties He HAD to
Master.

With all this hard living and hard
work Lincoln was getting in this
period Il desultory kind of edncation.
Not that he received much school

says, I'm all it did not amount to
,no5re than IA YEAR. Bur more or
less of the schoolroom is a matter OF
small Importance if "A boy has learned
to read and to think of what he
reads. And that this boy had learned.
His stock of books was small, but he
knew them thoroughly, and they
were good books to know-the
Bible, .Esop's Fables Robinson
Crusoe," Bunyan's Pilgrims. Prog
ress, a History of United States"
Weems' Life of Washington" and
the statutes of Indiana" These
are the chief ones we know about.

times had to borrow them from the

No matter. The book became his
then, and he could read it az he
would. Fortunately he took this
curious work in profound seriousness,
which wide awake boy would
hardly be expected to do today.
Washington became an exalted figure
in his imagination, and he always
contended later when the question
OF the real character of the first
president was brought up that il
was wiser to regard him as god
like character. heroic in nature and
deeds, as Weems did, than to con
tend that he was only a man who
if wise and good, still made mistakes
and indulged i'm follies like other men
Besides these books. he borrowed
many. He once told a friend that ht
read through every book he hat
ever heard of i'm that country for &
circuit of 30 miles" From every
thing he read he made long extracts
using turkey buzzard pen ant
