THE vENEzUELAN DECISION.

Il is a cause for satisfaction that the
Venezeela boundary dispute has been set
tied. The settlement is satisfactory to the
English newspapers. and no doubt TO he
Eng. ish government The decision is a
compromise. but Great Britain comes very
much nearer getting what she claimed
than Venezuela does.
There will of course be disappointment In
Venezuela, but the Venezuela government
wall hardly think seriously Of rejecting the
decision of the arbitration commission. il
claimed about 6OOOO square miles of terri
tory, and 1t gets only about 200 square
miles. England had often offered It better
terms.
The Venezuelan government favored ar
bitration. IN fact, it asked for it. on the
other hand the English government was
not at all anxious. The United States had
intervened In Nenezuela's behalf, and de
sired to have the controversy settled by
arbitration. Owing to the aggressive at
titude taken by President Cleveland, in a
message 10 Congress in respect 40 the mat
ter, it was thought that there was great
danger Of war between this country and
Great Britain. While il Is probable that
Mr. Clevelands message was not war
ranted by the situation, and might have
involved this country in a costly war with
Great Britain about matter in which
this government had comparatively little
interest-the interest of UNFOLDING the
American policy of not permitting Euro
pean nations to bulldoze the weak reDub-
Of . h. eff Of
bringing to a head a dispute which had
dragged along through many years. Great
Britain therefore has reason to be grateful
to President Cleveland, though at the time
his warlike message was issued she felt
anything but kindly towards him.
One thing In favor of the decision Of the
commission is that it was unanimous. That
fact viii help to make il acceptable to the
government of Venezuela. It will serve to
convince the statesmen of that country
that with a unanimous decision Of an i'm
partial commission against their country
their government would have but little
sympathy If 1t should refuse to abide by
the result Of the arbitra ion.
The English papers seem to think that
az AIle bHfteu StdtSS cldihpiOHeu 'lS CAUSE
of Venezuela they will feel in duty bound
to compel her to accept the decision if she
shows a disposition 10 refuse to do so.
1t is hardly probable they would undertake
to coerce her into accepting it, but It can
be safely said that they would use their
influence to have her accept It and close
the controversy.
A feature of the arbitration was the fact
that ex-President Harrison was the lead
ing counsel for Venezuela. That fact is
sufficient guarantee that her case was pre-
scented as ably as it was possible TO pre-
sent it, She lost because she did not have
as good a case as Great Britain.

SOUTH AFRICAN RICHES.

A week or so ago Mr.. Peace the agent
of the Natal government in London, said
that there would not be peace in South
Africa until Great Britain dominated the
whole section. A day or two ago Sir
William Vernon Harcourt characterized
the trouble in South Africa as a gold
hunters war" Assuming that both of
these gentlemen are right, what Is the
prize for which the British gold hunt
ers" are contending?
Sixteen years ago IL was not known
that there was gold in the Transvaal The
hills and wales of that country were re-
garded as being good only for catsle
ranges, and not very good even for graz
ing In 1884, however, gold was discov-
cred in what is known as the Wftwaters-
rand, or White Water Range. The first
year the production amounted 10 only $50
900; but each succeeding year the produc-
ton has gone up by leaps and bounds, UNI
I'll now the Rand" is regarded as one
OF the richest gold fields in the world. Last
year and the year before The annual out
put amounted TO not less that $50, 900 600
During the current year the rate of pro-
month. with the capacity being constantly
increased. Since 1884 it is estimated that
not less than $500, COO coo has been taken out
OF the Transvaal mines in gold, while
there remains not less than twenty times
as much wealth practically lin sight"
Recently discoveries, ii is said, lead to the
belief than these wonderfully rich mines
are the long lost gold of Ophir' mines of
the Scriptures, from which Solomon OBJ
tanned his supplies.
The Transvaai however, is not alone in
the richness of it's minerals There are
valuable deposits in the Orange Fee
State. as well as in Natal and the Cape
Colony. Nor is gold the only deposit of
value in the section. There are also iron
coal. copper and other minerals that are
wealth producers within the territory. At
tentlon will be given to these, 1t is TO be
presumed, by interests which cannot get
in on the ground floor on the gold fields.
The richest and most wonderful diamond
mines in the world. it is to be remem-
bered, are in this section of the world. The
Kimberley mines now supply 9S per cent
of the diamonds of commerce, and have an
annual output estimated at $3.50. 900 900
These mines are in British territory, it is
true, but they are just across the border
from the Transvaal. and il has been said
that in the event OF war one of the first
movements of the Beers would be to at
tack aud destroy them To make British
territory of the Transvaal ana the Orange
Free State, therefore. would not only give
the British new and rich gold territory.
but would be protection 10 the gold and
diamond territory which they already
have.

The Temple of Fame.

From the Denver (Col) News.
"How far away is the Temple of Fame?''
Said youth a the dawn of day;
And he toiled and dreamed of a deathless
name;
But the hours went by and the evening
came,
That left him feeble and old. and lame.
To plod on his cheerless way.
For the path to Fame is a weary climb
Up mountain, steep and high.
There are many who start in their youth
full prime;
But in the battle with fate and time
For one VINO reaches those nights sublime
Are thousands who fail and die.
The youth who had failed could never
guess
The reason his quest was vain;
But he sought no other TO help or bless;
He followed the glittcring prize Success,
Up the narrow pathway of Selhshness,
And this had been his bane.
How far away is the Temple of Good?''
Said youth at the dawn of day;
And he strove, in spirit of brotherhood
To help and succor, as best he could,
The poor and unfortunate multitude
on their hard and dreary way.
He likewise strove with adversely.
To climb TO the nights above;
Bul his dream was ever OF men made free
OF better days in the time to be.
And self was buried in sympathy
He followed the path of Love
He was careless alike Of praise or blame;
But after his work was done.
An angel of glory from heaven came
And Nroie on high his immortal name.
Proclaimlng this truth, that the Temp,e
of Fame
And Temple of Good are ore.
For this is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began;
That those whose memories never die
That shine like stars in our human Sky
And brighter grow as the years roll by
Are men who have Ayed for Man.

AGuINALDo's PEACE PROPOSITION.

Aguinaldo wants peace but he wants 1t
on his own terms Gen. Otis did not at
tach much importance 10 the visit of his
peace commissioners. Aguinaldo did not
expect he would All that Aguinaldo aim
ed TO do was to get before the world the
statement that the Filipinos are tired Of
war and are anxious TO make peace on
condition that they are given possession of
their country. or the country they call
theirs. though, as matter of fact, the
tribes in instruction constitute but
small part of the population of the islands
and occupy but a fraction of them. Agui-
naldo has not gained battle since the in
surrection began. Therefore. he had no
reason to expect that his peace proposition
would be received with favor. On the con-
trary he knew that it would not even be
given consideration.
It is not improbable that Aguinaldo is
finding it difficult to continue the insur-
rection, notwithstanding the fact that the
Filipnos generals who carried to Gen.
Otis his peace proposition said that the
Filipinos were prepared to fight for years
The people of Luzon want to get their
crops 10 market. and that they cannot do
10 any advantage with all of their ports
blockaded. They do not see the ADVANTAGE
of continuing the war and they have pref
" good reasons for thinking they would
fare better under American rule than I'M
der native government. 1t would not be
surprising therefore if other peace propo-
sitions were to come from Aguinaldo very
soon-propositions that included no de-
mand for independence. He ought to be
satisfied by this time that there is no in
tention on the part of the United States to
recognize his government. If he does NOT
understand Fl he will before the war has
continued much longer.
