Now that the facts in the case of ex-
Consul Waller have been given to Con-
gross by the President. there seems not a
shadow OF doubt az to his being guilty OF
all the charges Brought against him In
Madagascar. His release by the French
government under tho circumstances ia
an act Of msguanimity very credi.able
to those in authority. and strong evil
dence OF the friendship of France for
the United States. II is hardly prob
able that Waller will attempt to obtain
damages for his losses and Imprisonment.
by an appeal to the French courts. He
ought to be very glad to obtain his lib

TIMES, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY Is. 1896

OF the United States are practically
unanimous In support OF the Monroe
doctrine there is no desire for o war
with England, If conflict can be hon
orably avoided.
The manner In which the British cab
met first treated the proposition OF the
United States for arbitration, however,
aroused the indignation of the Ameri-
can people to such an extent that 1t was
plain they would fight unless different
tone WAS adopted. Fortunately the
common sense of the English people
checked the imperiousness OF the pre-
mier. and now the feeling on both sides
OF the Atlantic is so strongly in favor OF
peaceful settlement that there is
hardly any doubt but that this will be
reached.
Many Britlah and Am erioan statesmen
hsve expressed themselves in favor OF a
permanent board of arbitration for the
settlement of all important differences
between the two nstions, and If such an
arrangement should be the outcome OF
the recent trouble all the anDoysnoas
and losses already reg :lting thereirom
would be moro than compensated for.
Tho official announce rent that G.ess
Britain will accept tn invitation of tho
Venezuelan com mission, and put before
that body the British side of the dispute
with the South American republic, is as
gratifying as il WAS unexpected. It
shows very plainly that our English
cousins are not angry with us, and
augurs we'll for satisfactory settle
ment.
Tho announcement from London that
Venezuela, on the advice CT the United
States. has practically decided TO open
direct negotiations with Great Britain
for aettlemens OF the boundary dis
pute, is also On indication that the
vexcd question is in fair way for set-
Element. Orce entirely remove all dan
ger of trouble between Great Britain
and the United States, business in this
country would soon resume its normal
condition, and in year from now we
would enter upon an era OF unexampled
prosperity.
One feature that has shone out like q
bright star OF hope in the darkest hours
Of this interne :ional discord was the ear
nest desire Of Queen Victoria for peace.
FIJI settlement, and her noble and disin'
terested efforts to promote it. She has
always been held in high regard by the
American people, and since this trouble
began has proven herself strong and
tried friend to them.

Reply to 1t.

Tho sentiments expressed by t. D.

candidates were in the feld-DeIno-
cratic, Populist and Republican. Tho
Democratic candidate was elected over
the Republican by nearly 500 majoivy,
and over the Populist candidate BY
more than 1000. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Populist candidate was
gentleman Of sterling worth, and, per-
soDslly, ono OF the most popular men
in the country. During the last legls-
'lative campaign no regular Republican
ticket was in the field. The opposition
was composed OF one Republican and
two Populists. having large personal
following. Then, too, the local trou bles
growing out OF the bitter war over the
Bedford High School WAS made an issue
in tho canvsss, hence the reduced mo-
jority for the regular Democratic ticket.
"In national election large majority
