by President Cleveland in December,
1895, to learn the true divisional
boundary line The last named COZ
lection represents the best expert
geographical talent in the world, and
it may be said to contain the essence
of all geographical knowledge that can
be brought to bear upon the subject.
Our British cousins of late years
have been noted for their skill and
success in aggressive map drawing, and
the maps they have presented to the
arbitrator are said to support with
wonderful Ingenuity their claims to-
the controverted territory in Guiana.
The venezuelans, too, who are fright
ened almost to death at the danger OF
eventual absorption by Great Britain,
have literally moved ineaven and earth
to make out case in black and white
favorable to their contention. But it
is believed that the map evidence pre-
pared by the United States Boundary
Commission, as being more accurate,
sesMAing and exhaustive. will dis
count to great extent the Venezuelan
and British-made maps, and in the
last analysis furnish the basis wherein
the tribunal will found its decision of
the controversy. Accompanying this
collection, and calculating it, are ex-
merit reports by Severe Mallet-Prevost

WASHINGTON, July 7.--One of
the most interesting and important
features Of the proceedings before the
arbitration tribunal at Paris for the
adjustment OF the Guiana boundary
dispute between Great Britain and
Venezuela, is the study of map making
and OF maps, ancient and modern,
which in any degree affect the merits
of the controversy.
The British lawyers acting as coun-
sci for Her Majesty the Queen have
submitted two enormous aliases COM
posed exclusively of maps illustrating
the Guiana country, accompanying
their formal printed case" and ''coun-
ter-casea of eleven large folio vol
umes: and ex-President Benjamin Har-
rison and ex-Scrtary d. F. Tracy, Of
counsel for Venezuela, have submitted
three great aliases to illustrate the
Venezuela ease and "counter-case"
OF fifteen volumes. Supplementing
these are several minor collections OF
maps that have been added by both
parties to the dispute since the other
formal documents were submitted, and
above all it is an invaluable series of
seventy-six maps, contained in
mammoth atlas, specially prepared
and recently published by the Ameri-
can Boundary Commission appointed

WHAT CHANGED ENGLAND's
MIND.

Shortly after the receipt of that re-
ply President Cleveland sent to Con-
gress his memorable message of De-
cember II, 1895, in which he electrified
the country by his strong recommen-
dation of commission on our own
account to learn and report the true
divisional boundary, with view to re-
sisting the claims of Great Britain by
every means in our power, on the
ground that the Monroe Doctrine was
threatened, if the investigation should
show her to be claiming territory OF
right belonging TO Venezuela. 1t will
also be recalled that Congress, reflect
ing the popular sentiment of the coun-
try, responded instantly, and granted
the money necessary for the expenses
of such commission, and that Presi-
dent Cleveland thereupon appointed a
commission consisting of Justice David
j. Brewer of the Supreme Court, Chief
Justice R. w. Alvey of the Court OF
Appeals of the District of Columbia,
Frederick r. Coudert, attorney of New
York; Daniel C. Gilman, president OF
Johns Hopkins University, and An
drew D. White, president of Cornell
University and now ambassador to
Germany.
The commission set Immediately to
work 1t collected, sifted and critical
ly examined all the documents, maps
reports and commentaries obtainable
bearing on the dispute. 1t carefully
investigated the history of the Spanish
settlements on the Orinoco fr0m a
period antedating the year 1900, OF
Dutch settlements on the Essequibo
and Pomeroon rivers, of the old Span
ish missions west of the Imatuca

TRUE VALUE OF MAPS.
The Importance of authentic maps

maps and maps, and many much
Wanted maps have been found to be
not only valuless, but actually vicious.
1t has been remarked by one of the
most learned of map makers that if
the greater bulk of maps concerning
given territory were destroyed the
world would not be a loser thereby.
The vast majority of map makers have
been mere copyists, more or less faith
fully reproducing the errors as well
as the aecuracies of their predecessors,
and the number Of those whose work
shows Independent and original in
quiry is relatively small Even old

said to have constructed NAVY of hic

This collection gives the live sub
stance Of 4S9 separate maps Of the
country in dispute-all the distinctive
maps that could be assembled togeth-
er from every known repository in the
world. All are listed carefully. with
their dates, authorship, place of pub
iication and preservation by Prof. Burr
in his report, An examination shows
that almost every imaginable line be-
tween the 0rinoeo and the Essequibo
rivers has been drawn at one time or
another, and. in the case of the older
maps, almost invariably with imper-
feet knowledge of the country. In
many of them the boundaries are not
even indicated. because not known,
and in Others the boundaries are pure
" fanuiful and imaginary. Conse-
quently, in making up their analysis
of the maps, the commissions experts
were obliged to trace the geneology OF
all Implications and limitations and to
discard all save those showing original
search. BY this means the whole
series was reduced greatly, and those
that remained, from their distinctive
nature, were ground to group them
selves readily under q few heads.
These show themselves to be related
more or less closely to each other, and
in several cases they display unmistak-
able evidences of growth one from an
other, and on this account they form
a series whose evolution is highly in
teresting and significant.
In the deliberations Of the arbitral
tribunal all these maps will be taken
up and considered carefully, with all
autecedent facts concerning their ORR
gin and import In addition. the arbi-
traitors will have to consider, sift and
determine upon the value Of the histor-
ical evidence contained in the formal
eases" and "counter-cases of both
adversaries and moreover, will have
to weigh the moral arguments OF coun-
sci on both sides. From this IL can be
judged what a jolly time the arbitra-
tors will have this summer In reconcil-
ing such a mass of irreconcilable
claims and counter-elaims, and it may
be guessed whether the tribunal Will
be able to finish its labors and an
nounce to an expeetant wosld its de-
eision of the great controversy as early
as September, the date al FIRST contem-
plated.

own notions and opinions. without go
ing near the country delineated, but
like spider, spinning out long coil
from his own inner consciousness. On
the other hand, a map clearly delimit-
ing a boundary, If thoroughly anthem
ticated and officially accepted as cor
rect in the age wherein it was pro-
duced, is perhaps the most valuable
single piece of evidence that may be
adduced in such controversy as the
present. Often whole pages of letter
press are required to explain the con-
formation of coast, the course of a
river or the situation of a place, where
single glance at a map will convey
to the minds eye the relative local
positions much better.
1t was owing to the creation of the
American Boundary Commission by
President Cleveland, and its disinter-
ested and impartial investigation of
SAC IlUt, that lnO bIltlSIl
government was induced to reverse its
policy respecting the Guiana boundary
and to consent to reference of the
dispute to arbitration. The quarrel
with Venezuela had proceeded with
more or less acrimony ever Since Great
Britain came into possession OF the
colony of British Guiana by treaty
with Holland, In 1914, and, despite re-
peated remonstrances by Venezuela
and eXpostulations by all of the South
and Central American Republics, by
Spain, by Pope Leo Kill, by Presi-
dents Harrison and Cleveland in be-
half of the United State, and lastly by
the United State Congress, Lord Sails
bury in his final answer to our Secre-
tary Olney bluntly refused, on behalf
of Her Majesty's government, to sub
nit the question in its entirety to ar
bitration. That was in November,

DRAWS A COMPARISON.
Manning Monitor.l


While in the old town of Clinton, on
the Mississippi, last Saturday, the
writer thought to draw a comparison
between that city and Manning from
q business point of view. AT three
O'Clock p. m. tand remember it was
Saturday. we counted on the principal
business thoroughfare of that town just
eighty-four teams, including cabs, de-
livery wagons. drays, ice wagons and
all And the merchants were not overly
busy waiting on the trade. Then we
turned our thoughts to the little city
in the southwest corner OF Carroll coun-
ty and recalled to mind the fact that
on many a Saturday (and other days
as welD we had counted from 95 to 125
conveyances on her principal business
street, and that the stores were crowded
with shoppers. Clinton has but one
better store than has this city, and few
better business blocks. But when 1t
comes to population, manufactures, f1nt
homes and wealth. why, we're not In y,
of course. 1t is a beautiful city, to say
the least. and we like It.

the main the plan Of dividing the labor
could be carried out.
{ AS at Knoxville the girls in the re-
form school. the boys at Eldora. the
insane and the convicts, ought each to
be adapted specially to one line Of in
dusttry. Each group could very profit
ably have a speciality and provide for
the other institutions. The great hui
man society has found this plan both
economical and desirable, why would it
not be best for 1000 inmates of our
state institutions?
The board in dividing the work
would of course have to make many
exceptions. The manual training
school in many branches would have
to be retained for the boys at Eldora,
but in the main would they not be bet
ter adapted to do the gardening? The
same might be said of the prisons.
The convicts, in the main, are perhaps
better adapted to do the heavy manu-
featuring, but some would be physi-
cally incapacitated and should be given
other work. In fact, it might be found
advisable for each institution to raise
its own vegetables and so suggestions
might be made indefinitely. but as a
general principle for the conduct OF our
state institutions this plan of Mr.. Gull
bertson's for the division of labor"
certainly has merit in it.

doesn't really hurt. He is q man OF the
Charles Kingsley sort, honest and very
much in earnest. We do not know how
thorough Christian can throw stone
at him. Like Tolstoi he believes that
Jesus Christ meant what he said. He
believes that mankind should obey
Christ full and completely and that If
this were done the kingdom Of heaven
upon earth would come speedily. There
is much to be said IN favor OF that view.
Every body praises the sermon on the
Mount, but no one obeys it. 1t does
no harm occasionally for John the
Baptist to come along saying, Prepare
We the way of the Lord, make your

the action of the board OF control: THE
Iowa board of control has placed con-
tracts for 100000 worth of coal for the
state institutions. The results will
prove beneficial to the state in a double
sense, for the commodity is secured at
lowest rates and the profits will go to
Iowa operators, as the coal is to be sup
piled by Iowa dealers. While the board
has placed some contracts for small
amounts comparatively with outside
firms it shows by this action that it is
also ready to extend helping hand to-
ward the upbuilding of Iowa industries
when the occasion presents itself and it
can do SO consistently"
