The Praise Of European Admirals.

The New York World announces that
it has received letters from number
of English and French naval officers
of high rank about Dewey and his
deeds and they make very interesting
reading. The British Navy is repre-
scented in the Worlds collection by Ad-
mral Sir John Hopkins, Admiral Sir

The Venezuelan Decision.

After months of argument before the
arbitration tribunal in Paris, that body
has finally made its award on the mat
ter of the boundary between Venezuela
and British Guiana. The decision was
unanimous and will stand as final. In
way. the decision is compromise.
and like all compromises, is not wholly
satisfactory to either party; and yet
neither party has any complaint to
make, nor does either question the
justice of the award. The little Am
erican republic gains it's contention IN
the matter of the control of the great
Oriroco river and the points Oh the
coast frontier. while England is al
lotted the great areas of mining iahus
which Venezuela asserted were It's own.
But the great victories in the affalr
are won by the cause of arpltratloh
and nv the principal of the Monroe
doctrine These are OF vastly more
imnortance than the land boundaries
involved Four years ago England
declared there was nothing IN the
matter to arbitrate. and that it did not
recognize the right of the government
to Interfere in the matter. War clouds
gathered on the horizon and excite
ment was high. But our government
was firm in defense of the famous doc
trine which makes it the protector Of
lis weaker sister republics. England
Welded. recognized the validity of the
Monroe doctrine, and submitted the
matter to arbitration, as we had re-
ouested. Here was won the great
victory for arbitration and the Ameri-
can doctrine. The justification of our
course is in the result which gives
Venezuela her rights. and settles fin
ally and fairly veXed question of
boundary England got part. but not
all she claimed. But arbitration has
triumphed over coercion: and the mas
ter voice of this country in all Ameri-
can affairs is not likely ever again to
be disputed.

The New England cotton industry
refused to go to the dogs as was cheer
fully prophesied, few years ago.
The cheap wages of the South and the
proximity of the southern mills to the
cotton fields eclipsed for a time the
New England industry, but was I'M
able to retard ii. Southern workmen
and southern methods are being left
behind in the competition, and the
mills of Massachusetts and Maine are
working on full time. and prospecting
on much higher wages than the South
can ever dream of. Lewiston is happy
over the prospect that a large mill,
closed for many years, is now going
into operation. Our mills are advance
ing to the manufacture of finer and
more artistic goods. and the nightmare
of southern competition is not likely
to bother this section again.
