NO SETTLEMENT REACHED
Diplomats Deny Story About the
Venezuelan Matter.
RESTED ON SLIM GROUNDS
Reported Remark OF President Cleve-
land Construed to Mean That Great
Britain Had enthusiastically at
British Embassy Declared the Re
port to BE Absurd.

The announcement that the Venezuelan
difficulty had been settled and Great
Britain conceded nearly every point in the
dispute is denied in diplomatic circles.
From the British embassy and Venezuelan
legation comes the information that there
is no Foundation whatever for the story.
Attic British embassya Times representa-
tive was informed by one of the Officials
that the assertions were absurd. Sir
Julian PaunCefotc adherng to his eS-
tahliShed principle of not giving any direct
interview, declined to make any personal
II statement, but il was learned from one
of the Officials whose duty il is 10 speak
on such matters that there was no founda-
ton for the story. This official said:
STORY DECLARED ABSURD.
1T is absurd to think that a question that
has been pending since S22 could be set
tied in a day. Moreover, the claims OF
England have not yet been formally pre-
Sented. There is but one copy of the blue
book in this country and that is in the
embassy. / believe Ambassador Bayard
did send some advance statements as 10
the contents OF the blue book, but the
British statement has not yet been pre-
Sented to anyone.
While believe the case will eventually
he settled peacefully and that through
the country for us TO deal with and not the
United States and the case, in my opinion,
will not be determined for fully six months
TO come.
DIPLOMATS WOULD HAVE KNOWN.
The fact that negotiations of this sort
pass between the accredited minister and
representatives OF the countries interested,
would have brought the matter OF a near
settlement To the EnOWpdpp not only of
Ambassador Bayard, but also of Sir Julian

| cluded by assuring The Times that there

senior Andrade was not at the legation
| OF Venezuela when The Times called but
the secretary disclaimed knowledge of any
near settlement. They would be only too
! glad if IL were true said the secretary,
but were in entire ignorance of auy such

| 1t seemed to be the general opinion that

ENGLAND's WEAK CASE.
! More than once has it been said that
| England presented very poor case in
! her blue book and thatit was purpoSel V done
| because OF the intention OF Lord Salisbury
| to back down and concede nearly all OF
! Venezuela's claims. The flimsy arguments
| OF Great Britain together with the assertion
| of President Cleveland in defense of Eng
| lish statesmen is taken as evidence that
| Great Britain is weakening and will finally
and gracefully give in to Venezuela

Consistency Not Always True.

Senator Vest is decidedly unpa
triotic and is doing the whole coun-
try an injustice when he impugns
any but honorable methods to the
United States supreme court, the
highest tribunal of the land. Leay-
ing out all subjects of a partisan
nature, we must always recognize
that court as far above all else in
wisdom. honor and patriotism.
Men in their position can have no
thought of party or self, but must
decide all questions according to
the law and to the constitution of
the United States.
Mr.. Vests speech in the Senate
recently was called out by the con-
ditions of the country brought
about by the Democratic admins
tration. He insinuates that one
member of the supreme court, by
changing his opinion, showed that
he had been influenced in a dishon-
cradle manner. 1t is unpatriotic in
the Missouri senator to even sug-
gest such an idea. Every citizen
of this country should be proud
that its supreme court justices are
not beyond the power Of argu-
ment. We do not ask them to be
consistent at the expense Of right
and honor. A supreme court JUS
tice should be above the demands
for consistency. He should feel
that he could reverse his own deci-
sion to do justice to all.
But this is only an attempt of the
Democrats to throw the odium of
bad management from their own
shoulders to those of some one else.
They try to show that the action of
the supreme court alone is respon-
sible for the revenue to run the
government: That the income tax
was unconstitutional was claimed
by the best authorities of the coun-
try before it even passed. The
Democratic congress knew this
danger and yet never provided for
the emergency of the supreme
courts adverse decision. The
/. Democrats put the country in tho
position of bankruptcy if the law
was declared unconstitutional an(
thus practically defied the suprem,
court to do its duty.
The speech of Senator Vest does
not make his party stronger no1
nor his silver ideas more popular
He has questioned the honor of tho
highest court of the land. and by
, so doing he Injuries himself and thu

THERE is vacancy on the bench
of the United States supreme court,
and it was recently suggested that
when the vacancy has been filled
the constitutionality of the income
tax will be taken up for rcconsid-
Grafton. 1t is not likely, however,
that Cleveland will appoint a man
whose opinion would reverse the
decision Of the court. One of the
chief objections to the income tax
law was that it taxed most of those
who came within its scope twice for
the same object. The individual
who had an income of over 81. 200
was almost certain to be interested
in co-partnership concern from
which the greater part of his in
come was derived. AS the law
taxed both the individual and the
corporation, the individual had tc
pay his direct assessment and ther
again pay the tax through his pro
rata on the corporation assessment
1t is therefore not difficult to TN
derstand why the income tax law
was an unjust one and consequent
" one that was unconstitutional.

The Two Laws.

Comparisons are always odious,
but the Democrats like to compare
the Wilson act and the Mckinley
act. They are fond of denouncing
protection and they deal principally
with more or less glittering gener-
alitics. Nothing cXcites their deri-
sion, however, more than to refer
to the Mckinley act as a revenue
raiser. But it is true, nevertheless:
That during the last sixteen
months of the Mckinley act, when
importers were holding back their
imports in anticipation ofareduction
of duties by the Democratic Con-
gress just elected, when banks were
breaking all over the country and
the people were suffering from
the worst panic of the generation,
the Mckinley act brought in re-
ccipts amounting to S430. 5SS, ,357.
That during the first sixteen
months of the Wilson act, when
importers were pouring in imports
at the rate of 500, 900, 900, a year
in excess Of those under the Mckin-
ley law. the receipts were only
S4OO, ,OS5, ,6S3, or $50, 900, 900 less:
