"MACHETE' AND "TROCHA."

The Cuban war throws US into daily
contact with at least two words that
provoke an amusing variety Of pronun-
citation. These are "machete" and "tro-
cha" In Spanish the digraph "ch" Is
exceedingly trenchant and distinct, as
in "chowder," Charles" or Chew"
with us. "Machete" is pronounced as
though it were spelled match -ay-tay,"
the accent being on the second syllable,
and the lay" being sounded as in hay"
pay" SAY" "Trocha" is best likened
to "tro- o-chah." with the accent on the
latter syllable. In its military applica-
tion the word is figurative, as 1t means
in common speech "a small path that
crosses a main road."--New York Even
ing World.

The absence of the representatives of

The venezuelan Commission Report.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The report OF
the commission appointed by the president
to determine the true divisional line be.
tween Venezuela and British Guiana,
though a voluminous document. lacks
the interest which might have attached to
it owing to the fact that the commission
did not make "a report on the boundary
question, leaving that to be determined
by the arbitration committees decided up
on between the two governments most in
terested-Great Britain and Venezuela
The report speaks of the difficulty il en-
countered at the outset on account of the
novelty of the work to be taken, because
the commission had no precedent to guide
1t, and as its results were matters of the
deepest Importance. Especial reference is
made TO the evident desire on the part of
the two governments directly concerned to
aid the commission in its investigation
Every call for information or documents
was promptly responded to. Eulogistic
words are spoken OF the individual citf-
zens of this country for proifering and
furnishing books and pamphlets of other
documents in their possession which might
seem to have aided in reaching an ulti-
mate determination of the problem they
had before them. Particular reference is
made to the assistance given by Mr.. r.

DIR. Justin Windsor of Harvard college,
Professor John Franklin jameson of
Brown university, Professor George l.

gical survey. The work Of each Of t,iese
gentlemen, their Investigations and re-
searches into documents and archives, is
highly commended and their assistance to
the commission gratefully acknowledged
The report in detail states the various
documents, papers. maps, etc, which the
commission OF its agents examined Be

THE MEXICAN WAR.

Not only the men who took part tempted to assassinate President Diaz or as manyoNf them as could be csGgh SeeA, put in prison in the City of Mexico await trial. for murder, but the police~Sficials who failed to stop the lyncning have been sent to keep them company behind the bars. This is vigorous way of vindicating the law. It may serve as an example here in the United States.
 In some respects, although we lay claim to higher degree of civiliza- tion, there are some things in the way of the enforcement of law in which we may take pattern from our Mex ican neighbors. In the matter of train robbery, for instance, the shoot ing of the brigands-always by the officers of the law, be it understood by the side of the track without wait ing for judicial procedure has been found far more effective than the metHOu purSueu III lIOSe pdTtS or our land where this offence is not uncom- mon. And in the treatment of the crime of lynching, the course taken by the Mexican government is noth- ing less than admirable.
 If the sheriffs, constables and po- lice of the localities where lynchings have recently occurred in this coun- try, in Indiana, for instance, were to be laid in jail to await indictment for murder, it would have a most sal utary effect.

GLOBE SIGHTS.
From the Atchison Globeo

C'rom the Atchison Globe.)
 All lazy people are more or less wise.
 The proudest thing m the world is young married woman who has a horse and buggy, and a baby.
 Fishermen are not the only liars. After man has been in a shipwreck he claims to have been in three or four.
 No woman is a soc,ety belle if she has reached twenty without having her health ruined by late nights and candy.
 When you find man who is very liberal minded about a certain thing, personally interested.
 The telegraph editor of this paper requests that the only thing engraved on his tombstone be these familiar words: 1.-The situation is grave.'
 An Atchison man who cannot bear to see suffering is taking consolation to new widow in the way of flowers and candy. It is his intention to break away after she has begun to brighten up, but that's what the fly tries to do when it is caught on fly paper.
 An Atchison woman, whose daugh- ter went away to school for the first time this year, recently wrote to the principal of the school to let her daughter sleep as late as she wanted to, eat what she pleased, go to her classes at any time, have money to buy anything she wanted, and money to come home at any time she wanted it.

REASON AND COMMON SENSE.

The repudiation by Eugene V. Debs, Democracy in Chicago, of the anarch- istic talk by members of that associ- ation is encouraging of return to reason and common sense. There is to be no revolution, he said, no vio- lence and bloodshed in the name of social and industrial reform. No an archists are wanted.
 So long as agitators-amorg which class MT. Debs may be placed-keep within these limits, we need have no fear of detriment to the republic Our greatest reforms have been brought about by agitation; it is the healthy way, often the only way, of arousing action in matters of vital concern to the public welfare. But to accomp- fish anything for good, it must be kept within the bounds of law and regulated by the demands of good citizenship.
 Here in this free country it is the people who rule, and anarchy is a crime against the people themselves not a protest against tyranny from outside the people. It is a good sign that Debs recognizes this fact. Let the Social Democracy take his advice and agitate among the people, not against the people, and something good may ultimately come out of their agitation. Their ideas are not all bad-unless it is those ideas which look upon insurrection against the authority of the people as a means of fighting wrongs.
