question as to have ceased to discuss
it, no doubt awakened surprise There
was anything but a friendly spirit
evinced. The reader of the dispatches
was left TO conclude that England hav-
ing secretly gained some sure advan-
tage had grown not only Indifferent but
arrogant. There is serious seeming
to Lord Salisbury's stolid attitude, to-
wards both the United States and Ven
ezuela. If the dispatch alluded to is
authentic and warranted, a grave issue
between the countries is inevitable, for
CT one thing the people of this country
seem well nigh united, and that is the
upholding of the Monroe doctrine so far
as any encroachment upon the rights
of Venezuela is involved. Americas
step in the direction of arbitration will
not be retraced. Congress having
raised a commission to determine the
interests and rights involved the coun-
try will stand by the findings of that
commission, all British bumptiousness
and stubbornness TO the contrary not
withstanding. And this fact Lord Sal
isbury would do we'll TO take into ac-
count. Big talk does not go for much
with Americans. Being given TO blow
ing themselves they appreciate the
heights and depths of all Dragging,
yet they are not the less ready to stand
by the right in a more serious way.

A NEW YORKER ON M'KINLEY.

No better reason for the necessity OF
McKinley's nomination for the presi-
dency can be offered, than was given
in the speech of Colonel c. II. DENIM
son, at the great Mckinley mass meet
ing held at Syracuse, n. Y, last Mon
day. 1t is directly to the point and
true:
But it is said that he has had trouble
with his business and that he is therefore
untitled TO conduct the affairs of the ma
ton. But say this man has forgot him
self and his own interests in his great
principle. Do you not know that Daniel
Webster, Thomas Jefferson and Henry
Clay had their great financial disasters
William Mckinley trusted in a friend
and in him risked his whole fortune. But
the heroic way in which he met that dis
aster planted him in the hearts of the
people and made them more pronounced
in their cry, We want and we will have
Mckinley The bosses try to discour-
age US and say that he cannot be nomi-
mated, but the voice of the people will
overthrow the scheme of the machine in
1886. Another reason we want Mckinley
is because of his intense Americanism.
Before the Home Market club in Boston
he said there were mistakes in the Nc
Kinley bill as there have been in every
bill, but every mistake was made in the
interests of the people. Do you think
that with Mckinley in the White House
the stars and stripes would be torn down
anywhere on this footstool? Why, my
friends, when Mckinley is carried into
the White House the last vestige of trea-
son to American interests will disappear,
and we will redress the paramount in
suits to the flag.
'fThen look at Cuba. They first con-
quered one-quarter of the island and then
appealed to US for a recognition of their
belligerent rights. But the sphinx in
the White House was dumb. On pressed
the army until more than half the island
was under the control of the patriots, and
then the plea for belligerent rights was
renewed, and the sphinx in the White
House was dumb. Then commenced the
slaughter, the shame of the nineteenth
century. Congress arises and passes res
olutions Of sympathy.
But the sphinx in the White House is
dumb
Now if we had Mckinley there in less
than twenty-four hours he would extend
to that devoted island the protection of
the eagle and the shield, and would de-
clare that the voice of struggling free
dom should not lead to this country in
vain. We would make the ocean groan
beneath the burden of our feet in pro-
tecting them.
Let them call US jingoists, let them
call US by any epithet. The term Nc
Kinleyism' is destined 10 become the
most honored word in the English lam
guage. There will then be one universal
song all over this country for Mckinley
ism. RepuhHcanism and nrotection."A

THE CRANKY CREW.

The prohibition crowd are universal
utilitarianists. They are after every
body, themselves excepted. The state
convention OF Prohibitionists down in
Maryland, the other day, were very
sOlicitous for the fate of Kansas, but
in Maryland prohibition is unknown
undreamed of. The organ Of the ma
tional prohibition party, which devotes
so much Of its space to prohibition for
Kansas, is published in New York City,
with saloon on either side of il, one
underneath it in the cellar and another
front Of ii across the street. Its edi-
tors can't sleep sound for their solicit
tude and anxiety about Kansas. In
other respects the prohibition party is
a composite made up of secondhand
iSms and run by cranks. That party
held state convention in Ohio last
week OF course nothing was said in
their platform about prohibition for
Ohio, but they viewed with alarm"
the condition of prohibition in Kansas,
and then in general way made a

and that the women have only. to ex-
ercise their womanly wit in the way of

egg TO win the coveted goal. And
why should woman be denied a voice
IN the ecclesiastical councils of the
church? 1t certinly cannot be urged
IN objection that she has been a silent
and unimportant factor in the Metho-
dist plan of salvation. From the in
fancy of the church down to the pres
ent time women have been active work
ers in that church in season and out
of season, and in making sacrifices for
the advancement of the church have
not always followed but frequently
taken the lead, and this is especially
true in regard 10 organized efforts for
ministerial support. relief from church
debts and charitable purposes. In
small towns and country districts, but
for the timely assistance Of women,
many a Methodist preachers larder
would go unreplenished and his gar
ments present a more seedy and
threadbare appearance than they some
times do. The women in the Methodist
Episcopal church, who are asking for
lay representation are neither of the
new woman" type or suffrage howl
ers. There is nothing immodest nor
unreasonable in the demand and il
cannot in justice be long withheld from

WHAT YOUR ABSENCE is WORTH.

An offer of 5000 has been made TO
Herr Ahlwardt by his constituents in
Germany if he will remain in America.
This doesn't happen to be joke. The
herr is a legislator and an agitatOr and
a mouth-artist and trouble-virtuOSo,
and his people want him TO stay away.
| And has it come to this pretty pass
where men mustbehired into absence:
Is the world to enter into a new COM
mercial status where a long suffering
public will bargain with an objection
able man to step away and let his place
be filled with nice, clear ozone. Time
was when a miSusedand abused people
would take their Herr AhlwardtS out
TO the furthermost gate of the city
walls, turn the water into the moat
and throw him out Of the window and
| let the portcullis down with q crash.
But the portcullis has gone and the
moat is non est and summary justice
is restrained by the amenities of higher
civilization and the public is called
upon to whack up to buy peace from
the soul-racking gargle Of a mounting
agitatOr.
Still if the custom, initiated by the
Germans, is going to spread it will not
be difficult 10 assess what the absence
of each troublesome man in the United
States is worth. Ten dollars is all
Debs' absence is worth. We are fairly
used to him and we have nice consid-
Grafton for other nations which would
deter us from foisting him upon them.
Chauncey Depew with his old anec-
dotes and idiotic epigrams we would
willingly give over thousand dollars
to get him to move to some other cline.
Coxey's permanent residence in Eu-
rope is worth to us about 10 cents with
caSt-iron contract that his name
should not appear in the cablegrams.
For Mrs. Leases absence we would
offer $4,000, but only on stipulation
that she should go to Russia and make
the fur fly as much as possible. Rich
ard Wake, the Topeka Prohibitionist,
could probably cash in his absence at
$4,000, or he could remain and wear
muZzle all his life and receive $1,000.
Attorney General Dawes of the state of
Kansas, cannot sell his absence. We
would keep him, for certain selfish pur-
poses next fall, if we had TO pay him
to stay. John J. Ingalls, should be
hired to go away to Washington for in
stance at rate of 5000 per year.

INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION.

Following the lead of the worlds
peace societies, evidently, the New
York Bar association has sent Il men,
Orial TO the resident of the United
States praying that steps be taken
looking to the establishment of an in
terndtional court of arbitration. That
lawyers should be found appealing TO
a court rather than to the sword is not
surprising, but the efficiency Of such a
tribunal in preventing bloOdshed is
considered a doubtful recourse by
statesmen. The greatest good, of all
times, which have come to humanity
and civilization have come through
war. No single victory of religious
or civil liberty for the generation has
come in any other way. However,
this is not TO say that peoples can OBJ
tain their rights in no other way save
by the shedding of blood. AS the world
grows better human life becomes more
sacred.
The idea of establishing a court of
this character is not new. 1t has been
the philanthropic dream OF the cen
turtles. Some twenty years ago a CON
ference of nations was held in Europe
to consider this very subject 1t is
only remembered as a dream, although
many able juriStS and statesmen par
ticipated in its deliberations. 1t was
