American Land Speculation in Venezuela.
The Journal of Commerce, and other
New York papers, have been tracing
alleged connections between the recent
Venezuelan message and real estate
speculation In Venezuela by Amerl.
cans. They find that Venezuela has
granted great trsCtS Of the rich land
in dispute to American citizens, the
most valuable one being granted In
April Of this year to a syndicate called
"The Msnos Company" The Mime
spolis Times quotes President J. A.
Bowman of the company as saying
that he had been asked to guide the
Commissioners to be appointed through
the disputed territory, and that the
Schomburgh line ran through the grant
Of the Msnos Company. "The Manoa
Company, operating at the mouth of
the OrinOcO," said he, twas formed
under the laws Of the State of New
York. The grant was first secured
from the Venezuelan government In
1888 by G G. Fitzgerald. Then the
MsnOs Company, limited, was formed
in 1895. 1t was organized under the
laws Of the United States, and after
the grant was given and the papers
were fixed up in South America, they
were brought to Washington and filed
with the Secretary of State. The mem
bers of the company are nearly all citi-
zens Of the United States, and they
have not renowned their loyalty.
Therefore this government must pro-
tect us whether there is q Monroe doc
trine or not. But of course the impor-
tsnt duty in connection with the
European aggressions Is continued In
the principles Of the Monroe doctrine"
The New York Evening Post init
mates that responsible parties, whose
names do not appear, are backing up
the Msnos Company, which has re-
Gently been reOrRanized, and that In
spite Of the agreement Of 1850 between
Great Britain and Venezuela not to oc.

Venezuela Issued grant or concession
of it to an American company for the
obvious purpose of embroiling the
United States In the dispute. The
Boston Herald says: "If 1t should

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Secretary Carlisle has furnished
the silver Democrats with wedg,
that will be used to split the Der :
ocratic party, at the Chicago con
vention. The wedge was Mr..
Carlisle's letter declining to ask
the anti silver Democrats in the
Kentucky Legislature to vote fol
Blackburn for Senator, and saying
in effect that he thought a minori-
ty justified in refusing to sacrifice
their belief in the interests of par
ty harmony. 1t is thought by
some that this letter was deliber-
ately planned and written as the
first step towards a bolt on the
part of the administration demo-
Gratis should the silver democrats
control the Chicago convention,
but if that be correct those admin
iStration democrats who have .5een
working so hard to get the silver
democrats to commit themselves
in advance to the support of the
candidate and platform of the
Chicago convention were not tax

dence. His letter has undone all
their work, and the silver demo.
Gratis are now saying among them

Little Falls has u company that
promises to pull through all right,
and for two reasons. One Is that
the founder Of the company, and
owner of the stock Of bonds has been
able to advance money to
make all necessary improvements.
aud the other Ia that the company
possesses uneXcelled advantages OF
cheap power. Without power at a
nominal cost the company would
never have been able to supply Little
Falls with it's services at the present
rates and remain solvent. While such
cumpa I.irs in other cities have usu-
ully had IL heavy fuel and engineer
expense, In Little Falls this charge
has been practically nominal. Of
course. there was Il heavy original
expense in laying the pipes and es-
tnblisl,ing the II hydrnnts for which
the city transferred 100 horse power
t. the company, but the terms by
which power has been Obtnined
from the Water Power company has
meant the difference between failure
and success. While IN other towns
