In government circles the i'm
preston seems to prevail that there
isn't much danger that the United
States will become involved in the
Venezuelan imbroglio. The thought
has been thrown out that Dewey
was sent with big fleet to the
Caribbean sea for the purpose of
watching the allies, but that sug-
gestion is discouraged. Still, it Is
probable that in the minds of most
Americans who are giving the mat
I consideration it is considered
fortunate that Admiral Dewey.
with many of the best battleships
and cruisers of the navy, is not far
distant from the Venezuelan coast
His presence there with so formid-
able T It may have the effect of
preventing the allies from doing
anything that might make it nee
essary for the United States to in
terfere i'm the trouble.

money, and, being unable to get
it by any process of law, called on
their respective governments for
assistance. Warships of two NIGH
ty nations went to Venezuela on a
collecting expedition. The idea of
the two nations seemed to be that
the best way to collect the debts
owed to their respective subjects
was to destroy whatthe revolution
ists had left. Therefore, they bonn
barded Puerto CabellO and sunk
ships of the Venezuelan navy.
Could not the German and Brit
ish creditors have. gone INTO the
courts of the country and collected
their money by legal process?
Could they not have proceeded
just as citizens of Venezuela would
proceed to collect debt? 1t seems
so. II they could not have got
money, either from railrOad-cOm-
panies or the government, they
could have taken the railroads.
They made a mistake in investing
money in a country which they
knew did not have a stable govern
ment. They went into a specula-
ton, and ought not to complain
because it turned out disastrously.

Important Court Decision.

The Florida supreme court rendered &
decision last Saturday which possesses
many points of unusual interest, especial
ly in Florida, where it sets precedent
which seems TO be growing in favor
among attorneys.
| On December 1st the membership OF
tie supreme court was increased from
three to six Justices the new members
being Justices Maxwell. Shackleford and
Cockrell. The old members are Chie
Justice Taylor and Justices Mabry and
Carter. The case now attracting interest
is ex parte G. NJ. Cox, and it is the second
case i'm which the court has rendered an
opinion and entered an order directly
the opposite of what would have been
| rendered had the matter been presented
to the court so short a time as three
weeks ago-before the new justice en-
tered upon their services.
Mr.. Cox is an attorney of DeFuniak
Springs, Fla, who was recently arrested
for practicing law in DeFuniak without
obtaining municipal license, and given
the alternative of a fine or sentence
Mr.. Cox declined to pay the fine, and
questioned the validity of the municipal
government in DeFuniak, and applied to
the supreme court for a writ of habeas
corpus to relieve him from this sentence
The application was heard by Mr.. Jus
tice Carter, who declined to grant the
writ, ard ren;anded Mr.. Cox to the Gus
tody of the marshal of DeFuniak. Mr..
Cox SUI q out writ Of error to the full
supreme court.
The APPEAL was decided by the su-
preme court last saturday. Justice Car
ter, for evident reasons, took no part i'm
the decision. The new justices, Max
well, ShacklefOrd and COckrell, in an
opinion written by Mr.. Justice Maxwell,
render the majority opinion of the court,
to the effect that writ of error does not
lie from the su .)reme court TO one of the
justices thereof. Chief Justice Taylor
and Justice Mabry, of the old cOnrt, both
dissent, in seperate opinions.
The majority of the court decides that,
while the legislature has attempted to
provide for a review of a decision rem
dered hy a justice of the supreme court
the supreme court, 1t is decided by the
majority opinion that the legislature has
and had no constitution power to enact
such provision.
Chief Justice Taylor's dissenting opin-
ion holds that the state constitution
gives to the supreme court jurisdiction Ia
review any and every cause which cir
cult courts are not vested with original
jurisdiction, and also in all cases that
may in future be properly put within the
original jurisdiction of such circuit courts
by legislation, and if a case be found in
which some other tribunal is given con-
current original jurisdiction with the
circuit court, the right of review vests in
supreme court over such case, regardless
of the fact rs to whether II was actually
commenced in such circuit court, if it be-
longs To a class of cases over which such
circuit court might have entertained orig
inal Jurisdiction.

Col. Watterson wants the Mon
roe doctrine revised, and in arguing
for q revision he expresses con-
tempt for the little nations to the
south of us that ha4e profited by
the doctrine in the past. He calls
them "a riff-raff of Latins who hate
us, and of mongrels in abject ignor-
ance and degradation" The terri
tory which We are protecting is one
which "we shall never be able To
acquire, and not worth acquiring if
We should be able" He thinks,
therefore, it would be a good thing
to let England and Germany enter
South and Central America and
take territory ifthey want it, mean
while possessing ourselves of what
ever we may need for canal pur-
poses.

"James s. Clarkson, surveyor of the

moned to Washington, to straight
en- out the trouble with the Lilly
Whites down south. According
to a dispatch, General Clarkson is
expected to solve the problem, and
bring about a cordial support of
the administration from both
wings, so that whichever policy
the president adopts there will be
no danger Of loss of southern dele
gates in the convention of 1904.
President Roosevelt pins his faith
to Mr.. Clarkson in this dilemma.
If Clarkson can do all that, he will
more than earn his salary"

While the editor of THE STAF

he had the opportunity (through
the courtesy of Hon. X. B. Rauler.
son, of Fort Pierce,) of taking a
drive over the county road from
Fort Pierce to Ankona, a distance
of about seven miles. This drive
is right along the river front and
most of the roadway is on a bluff
that is from twenty to thirty feet
above the river. The county road
is now shelled all the way from
Fort Pierce to Waveland, a distance
of over fifteen miles, with the
exception of little stretch of about
two miles between Fort Pierce and
Eldred. and a short space of about
two miles near Tibbals on the
