Ed. Register-Having been confined
to the house most of the time since my
last communication to the REGISTER,
have but little of interest to write
Health in this locality is exception
ally good, but in other localities ty-
phoid fever has been very prevalent.
DIR. j. X. Adams manages all the
cases of sickness We have in this To-
cality; he is a good doctor, in whom
all have confidence.
Now that Mr.. Cleveland has ap-
pointed the Venezuelan Commission,
the questions are quite frequently ask
ed. What is the object of the Com
mission?" ''Is it to arbitrate the dif-
fculty now existing between the ma
tions?" The CD. gives the clearest
answer to the above questions: The
scope of the Commissions power is re-
stricted to the investigation of the facts
relating TO the boundary line dispute
between Great Britain and Venezuela,
and its report is expected to show
where, in its judgment, the line ought
to be. Its decision on this point will
probably be adopted by our Govern
ment, and as that decision is very GER
tain to be different from the claim
made by Great Britain, another re-
quest for arbitration will be made. \
The Commission is to act as a
board of inquiry, properly speaking.
with view to ascertaining i'll a defn-
tie way what encroachment is propos-
ed by Great Britain, and to what ex-
tent, if any, the Monroe Doctrine is
likely to be violated" When this is
done, it will remain for Great Britain
to say how the difficulty shall be adj
iusted. Let it be settled without war.
if possible; but if nothing else will do
her, let her have it red hot, first Civ
ing it to Lord Salisbury in the servlcal
region. How it fills with patriotism
the hearts of every true American,
when he thinks of the import of the
Monroe Doctrine! "Any attempt by a
European nation to gain dominion in
America, would be considered by the
United States as an unfriendly act. !"
When it comes to a question of that
kind, there will be, in America, no
party lines. Democrats and Republic
cans, alike, will shoulder arms and
fight, side by side, for the maintenance
of the hrinciple contained in the Mon
roe Doctrine. And so mote it be.
