Our Position as to Venezuela.

There Is no occasion for American anxiety
over the case of Venezuela. The German
and British demands not having been met
the forces of those powers are proceeding
to close in upon President Castro and to
take measures calculated to bring him to
terms. There is no present threat OF terri
torial aggressons. There is no Likelihood
that either England or Germany will ven
ture to test the American temper on this
score. England still recalls the eastern
Venezuelan boundary dispute, In which this
government took such conspicuous part
for the sake of the Monroe doctrine. The
diplomatic correspondence which passed ON
that occasion left no room for doubt as to
the scope of the doctrine with respect to
Venezuela, or any other South or Central
American country. II they prove derelict
in their obligations they may be confronted
with force, but the corrective or collective
measures must never take the form Of per-
manent land seizures.
The spectacle Of the British and German
fleets entering La Guaira harbor and Selling
the Venezuelan navy adds to the humors
of the affair and perhaps contributes to
bloodess conclusion. President Castro's de-
flance Of the two big powers Is theatrical
and ridiculous. He can not, Of course. hope
to resist them and 1t would be far more to
the point If he took steps to secure a ref
erence Of the claims to The Hague tri-
bunal. 1t is hardly the function Of the
United States to prompt him to adopt this
course or to recommend to England and
Germany that a reference would be better
form than the coercion OF such q little
power. The whole affair is between Vene-
zuela and the two powers now at his doors
as long as territorial indemnity Is not
mentioned. The United States will not
be called upon to declare itself further in
the premises as long as the case remains on
this side of change Of sovereignty over
the land.
There can be no justifable South Ameri-
can disgruntlement over the failure Of the
United States to take hand In the case at
present If such a sentiment should exist
it will be because Of a failure to understand
the true meaning Of the Monroe doctrine
and OF the present American attitude. This
country Is not a acknowledging agency for
Europe nor Is 1t buffer to save South
American debtor nations from just ac-
counting. It deplores the spectacle Of gov
ernments falling in their obligations just as
1t does the continuous spectacle Of revolu-
lions against established authority. 1t does
not sympathize with the present program Of
Germany and England in confronting revo-
lution-vexed and helpless Venezuela with a
threatening armament. But 1t can make no
aggressive move in the matter short of q
protest backed by all needful forces, against
any suggestion of territorial changes.

Mr.. Justice Harlan.

A distinguished company, with the Presi-
dent of the United States at its head,
paid tribute last night to the character and
public services of Mr.. Justice Harlan OF the
Supreme Court. The addresses were in the
vein Of high appreciation, and the response
OF the guest of honor was felicitous and full
OF feeling. The Kentucky jurist has richly
deserved the place he enjoys in the respect
OF the country. He Is man of superior
gifts. He has exhibited diligence in office.
and he stands in our affairs both by virtue
OF his attachments and his character for
the best expression of the American opportu-
nifty. He Is a veteran of the great court of
which he Is member but still so vigorous
both of body and mind that the people have
hopes OF seeing him in his place for years
TO come. Judge Harlan's personal friends
think that notable figure was lost to
politics when he put on the black silk
gown. However that may be, a notable
figure was gained for the judiciary.

Last Of the Populists.
From the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.

rIou tHe 11I1PorIH InHH.J Vazetto.
There Is not in all the Congressional Dr.
rectory Of the United States the word popu-
list. This Is as 1t should be. Harris has
been in the democratic caucus and has
worked with the democrats for five years.
There is nothing opprobrious In the name.
The democrats Will nominate German or
Hill for the presidency. and the populists
will vote for him. The fellows who see
nothing good in the republican party will
not hesitate to line up as democrats. There
will be no peoples party name on the off,
cial ballot next year, unless it is put on
by petition. and If the peoples party nomi-
mates a candidate for President In 1904 the
electors In Kansas can't go on the ballot
unless by petition: And this is the end of
the stirring days of Singin' Jones Of Butler,
and Dunkin of Punkin, and Levi Dunn
BAUD, and the great mob Of shirt-tail
rangers, who rose up and, threatened to
eat up Wall street raw without pepper or
salt.

A Christmas Warming.

The past Is full Of lessons for those kind
ly-disposed persons who have now in con-
temptation the lighting OF candles among
the inflammable boughs of pine and cedar
trees at Christmas. The roll Of Christmas
tree fires Ii a long one. There is no record
Of those men who have lost life while en-
acting Santa Claus. all bearded in raw cot
ton and muffled In fur. but enough have
met death in flames to warn their suc-
cessors to be cautious. The Christmas tree

Christmas tree Of many years ago still
grows green h the memory Of old people

and the Christmas tree Of today Will -four
ish In the memory Of the children Of the
present when they, too, shall get old. But
there Is neither sense nor sentiment In add
ing danger to the observance Of the Joyous
festival. The dressing Of the tree with lit
tie candles Of red and yellow, blue and
green. IL not an ancient custom. but an In
noyation. II these little lights must be
used, great care ought to be exercised. but
II the room In which the tree IL set were to
be well lighted, 1t would seem that Jets Of
fame among resinous boughs might be dis
pensed with.

Signs Of the Season.

Christmas day approaches,
You feel it in the air;
IT'S written in the grocery store
Where fowls are fat and fair.
It's mentioned in the window
OF the big emporium.
IT'S whispered in the murmur
OF the shoppers as they como.
Christmas day approaches,
The people smile to see
It's heralds thus appearing
In a splendid pageantry.
You note the fact most keenly
When e'er you pause to look
On the vanishing proportions
OF your busy pocket book.
