serious. and all through the interven-
ing time this difficulty hanging over
our foreign relations had operated as
a menace 90 us in many ways. Now
that it is removed by the agreement on
the conditions of arbitration which
has been reached by the representa-
tives Of the British government and
our own, there is naturally a sense Of
relief under the influence of which
there is little disposition to look be-
yOnd the termination of this particu-
lar controversy.
AS a matter Of fact, however, the So
called concessions made to us by the
British government are of kind that
puts us in a new position before the
world and involves us in graver re-
sponsibilities for the future than we
have ever before had to assume. It
would be well if, in the happy turn
which this particular affair has taken.
we could all recognize what il means
for the future and proceed as soon as
possible to preparations for the new
conditions. The upshot of the matter
is that we are now put in the position
of being the one nation in the West
ern Hemisphere to which the rest of
the world will look hereafter as the
controlling authority. We are rec
ognized in this particular case, and
by inference in all similar cases, as
the guardian of smaller American
countries, the nation from which re-
dress must be sought for injuries done
by those countries to European gov
ernments and to which answer must
be made for wrongs inflicted.
This is obviously a grave response
biity, one which was never cOntem-
plated in the original scheme of our
government, and one for which new
preparations must be made in our po-
litical life. So far, however, only a
few seem to recognize it's existence
The diplomats and the special stu
dents of international law are of
course among these They see, and
see with no little surprise, that it is
apparently the United States and not
I Venezuela which is to be made di-
| rectly party to the arbitration that
/ has been arranged for The contro-
versy itself was between Venezuela
and Great Britain. 1t was not a con-
/ tr0versy in which we had, or could
/ have, any personal interest. All thai
we insisted through years of diplo-
matte correspondence was that in oul
/ opinion it ought to be settled in some
way between the parties immediately
/ interested, and even when President
! Cleveland assumed his belligerent at
titude year ago all that was insisted
was that it must be settled or WI
should make the affair our own. Tha
was intended only as a threat But W.
have been taken at our word; it hal
become our affair now with a ven
geance although we have no NOR
personal interest i'm it now than ever
nothing more to gain or lose by il
settlement.
Venezuela has nothing more to q,
but TO wait the issue of the arbitra
tion. 1t is we who have taken he
place in the quarrel, it is we who ar
/ to arbitrate with Great Britain. AL
this may or may not be creditable t,
the astuteness and force of our diplo
mats, but it has certainly involved III
/ in an affair from which we can gail
nothing and in which our responsible
ties are great.-Providence Journal.

We do not believe in nor do We
countenance frauds at elections; but
we do say that certain Republicans
who are raising such a hue and cry
against Democratic inspectors alleged
TO be guilty of attempting to set aside
the will of the people should glance
over their past political records and
sweep the dirt from their own doors
before joining in the cry against men
now on trial. Presuming, for the sake
of argument that the men accused are
guilty, it does not justify men who
have been guilty of political crimes in
1nitely more infamous, in throwing

pose only, and to be applied TO no other. In
spite of all assertions to the contrary. no such
fund has ever been created by law, and, as
Secretary Carlisle has repeatedly Informed In
quirers on the subject, no law exists pro-
hibiting the use OF every dollar OF gold In the
Treasury, including that derived from bonds
sold for the express purpose of redeeming tho
Government notes, for the payment OF any APP
propriations made by Congress. How great is
the danger incurred by this lack of proper legis-
lation II is unnecessary to demonstrate.
The best thing to be done. IL IL were possible,
would be to substitute for the present inde-
pendent Treasury n great national bank, which.
like the Bank OF England, should act as the
agent of the Government In keeping and paying
out Its revenues, lending the surplus of them.
when there was any. to the public. and borrow
ing from tho same source the money needed to
supply n deficiency. This, however. In the pres
ent state OF public opinion ia this country. is
not TO be hoped for. Tho same jealousy OF the
power OF such an institution which destroyed
the United States Bank of President JncRson's
time. and supported President Tyler in vetoing
a bill for the creation of n successor to It, under
the name of tho Fiscal Bank of the United
States, still survives with sufficient vigor to pre-
vent any repetition OF the attempt. We must
be content with the next best thing, which is to
improve as far as possible our fiscal system as
We have 1t.
1t Is doubtful whether even the simple and
feasible engagements OF the Treasury powers,
which have been above suggested, are attain
able. Authority to issue short-term bonds to
supply deficiencies has already once been So
licited from Congress by the Secretary Of the
Treasury. and Congress has refused to grant 1t;
but, possibly. another Congress may be moro
