Germany and Venezuela.

The report which reached Washing
ton few days ago that there is a pros
pect Of a deal between Germany and
Venezuela which will result in the
transfer Of coaling station or naval
base on the island of Margarita to Ger
many in satisfaction of certain claims
which Germany holds over Venezuela
naturally arouses American interests,
as it involves a possible invasion Of the
Monroe doctrine.
The claims Of Germany are old ones
and, unfortunately, are continually ac-
cumulating. They represent the prof
it's which the Venezuelan government
guaranteed to German investors who
provided the capital for the Transande-
an railway, which has never paid. Ne
gotiations have been undertaken in the
past for a settlement Of just this sort,
but nothing ever came Of them. Trou-
BILE might have developed between the
two governments over the claims in
Cleveland's firm stand in opposition to
England's eAcroachments upon Vene-
zuela, which made it inadvisable for
Germany to press the matter at that
time. The claims are undoubtedly en-
barrassing to Venezuela, but she should
find some means of settling them other
than by territorial grant.
It is clear that this government, to
be consistent, would be obliged to pro-
test against Germany's acquisition of
Venezuelan territory even if the latter
government gave it up voluntarily and
acting under no duress There is am
pie precedent for such protest in con-
nection with the Monroe doctrine. This
government intervened between Eng
land and Venezuela to prevent British
encroachments upon Venezuelan terri
tory, and it has even prevented the
pressing of claims by other powers up
on South and Central American states
to the point of territorial seizures or
the grant of land indemnities.
While the matter has thus far appar-
emily taken not much more definite
form than a rumor, it is well enough
for Germany to be given to understand
that it is decidedly against the policy
Of this country to permit the alienation
Of territory by the states south of it to
any European power or to allow any
such power to increase it's military
equipment in this hemisphere, especial
ly in the vicinity of the approaches of
the proposed Nicaragua canal.

Prince Christian Victor Of Sleswick-
Holstein, whose death at Pretoria is
just announced, was the eldest son of
Queen Victoria's third daughter, Prin-
cess Helena, and field officer in the
British army. He was a manly fellow,
hardworking, conscientious soldier
and popular with the British public.
He is the first Of the royal family to
fall a sacrifice to the latest war. He
was only 33 years old and died of the
scourge that has proved as fatal to the
British troops as Boer bullets-the en-

A suit Tor damages or mucn pubic In
terest is pending in the courts of Chi
cago. 1t involves the right of persons
whose property is injured by smoke
and SCOT to recover damages from the
owner Of the smoking chimney which
is responsible for the injury. So far as
jury in the original court of entry can
do it, the question was decided by the
rendering of a verdict for $1,5OO
against the owners of the New York
Life building in Chicago in favor of a
firm occupying Offices in an adjacent
building. The plaintiffs in this case
showed that the dense clouds of smoke
and SCOT pouring from the chimneys of
the New York Life building had great
~ damaged the furniture and equip
ments of their Offices, had actually
driven away clients and had made the
occupancy Of their present quarters al
most an impossibility. The case goes
on appeal, and if the higher court shall
approve the judgment it may greatly
hasten the solution Of the smoke prob
lem in Chicago and furnish a precedent
for legal action elsewhere. If real es-
tate owners are made to realize that
they will be held responsible for DAM
ages done to adjacent property through
the negligence of their agents or en-
ployees, they will be likely in self pres
ervation to see that proper precautions
are taken against the damages result
ant from the smoke nuisance.

Ter removes one of the most conspicu-

life, whose work, was primarily the

| have been interested of late in
the sketches written by Mrs. B. j.
Mcclure in Fa1m, Stock and
Home.
The sadness that came to her
heart, through the influence of the
army canteen, is one of the many
proofs of it's wickedness. Now a
real male man has commented on
Mrs. McClure's articles and offers
a suggestion, read it and ask your
self the question ''Would I teach
my boy that an honest christian
man would stoop to tend bar?"
They were pronounced against the
man who putteth the bottle to his
neighbors lips and maketh him
drink is as strong as they were to
him that riseth up in the morning
that he may follow strong drink.
A man cannot be an honest chris
tian and do either.
We would suggest to Mr.. New
method that the world is full of
christian temperance women who
would gladly point him to a better
way. God is able and will deliver
us, he has no compromise with sin.
When his followers say go! the
liquor business will go:
II have plan to suggest to-
Mrs. B. j. Mcclure and all tenn
perance workers. It is only by
capturing the government that we
can restrict the manufacture of
liquor or abolish the army canteen.
But while working at that through
politics let us capture the retail
liquor trade and have something
to say about who shall buy drinks.
In order that the army of drinkers
shall keep at it's present number or
be increased it must be continually
recruited from our children, prob
ably yours, dear reader, and mine.
Let the different temperance socie-
ties in each town hold union meet
ings, collect all their money, and
as soon as they have a sufficient
sum to buy license and equip a
first-class saloon, open a saloon in
that town, sell only the purest
liquors that can be procured (as
there is less harm in pure liquor,
some of the evils from liquor will
be eliminated.) Then have honest
christian temperance bar tenders
C"Ohn' / hear some over conscien-
tious christian say), but you are
just as guilty, who vote for a party
that sanctions saloons and army
canteens as a man who for profit
hands the ''stuff'' over the bar to
his neighbor. Here comes the
killing part to saloons: sell all
liquor at cost. What will be the
effect! Can men rent BUILDINGS,
pay for lights, heat, water, bar
tenders, and all the miscellaneous
expenses and sell at cost? In one
year there would be only your sa-
loon left in the town, then you
would be in a position to keep
boys from drinking or hanging
around the saloon and limiting the
quantity any person could buy.
Wouldn't it be better to have
bar tender who could gain nothing
by getting man drunk, for ex-
perience has taught me that there
are people who will drink liquor
as long as it is possible for them to
get it, prohibition laws or not.
So let us arrange it so that they
can procure only the best liquor
and have an honest christian to fix
the quantity. Meanwhile those of
us who are not such blind parti-
sans as to know nothing beyond
the party will try to capture the
and then limit the
manufacture to the requirements
Of science. Respectfully, Mr.. New
method"

The Farmer and Prosperity

For want OF better arguments the
Democratic politicians tell the farmers
that natural conditions and not the
Republican party are responsible for
their share OF the general prosperity.
This is in measure true, vet Repub-
lican policies have had good deal to
do with it. Four years ago the prices
of beef and pork were low because OF
the small demand, which was caused
By the fact that the consumers were
economizing on meat.
The more prosperous classes econ
omized because of lack OF profits in
their business, and the poorer classes
because of lack of adequate wages,
both results of the Neutrality-suspicious.
man Tariff. Naturally. when the
farmer was forced to accept low
prices for his cattle and hogs he
could not make enough to pay of the
mortgage At the same time the per
capita consumption of cereals went
down about bushel. the price OF
breadstuffs fell aud the farmer again
had to stand the loss. But when the
return of industry came with McKin-
ley's election. the prices of beef and
pork rose The business men began
to make profits and the laborer better
wages. All classes began to live
better and TO consume more meat
and better grade OF vegetable food,
and the prices for cattle and hogs
went up accordingly. It is not be-
cause there are fewer cattle and hogs
in the country for sale than there
were in the Democratic times. because
the farmers have increased their herds
in every direction, but because more
people are eating pork ami beef than
before The rise is na.ura! and legit-
innate.
