in Milwaukee. Poor people are not the

coal is the chief factor to contend

money to purchase fuel and other sup
plies, but who are absolutely unable to

THE VENEZUELAN AFFAIR.

Senior Schotborg, Venezuelan Consul
in London, states that President Castro
had ready plan to pay the claims when
the ultimatums were sent. This plan
provided for a unified debt covering the
entire sum due and for the establishment
in Venezuela of an international bank
under European control to attend to the
collection of the payments from customs
dues.
Signs of dissensions between the allies
are beginning to appear. The British
Foreign Office disclaims responsibility
for the reported sinking of Venezuelan
vessels, which it entirely attributes to
the Germans. 1t is stated in Berlin that
the orders to the German and British
commanders were to capture the vessels
and that no orders were given to sink
them. The German Charge d Atiaires
cables that four vessels were captured
and one disabled" At any rate, it is
declared in Berlin, if the vessels were
sunk it was the result of the joint action
of both souadrons.

gressto support the resolution recently

THE SOUTHERN CHURCHMAN, OF hlch-
mond. this week, under the caption
'Misuse of the Pulpit" makes some
very pertinent remarks in regard to the
habit of certain preachers in discussing
ocurrent events" timely topics, &c.
The Churchman declares that the Epis-
copal church itself is no longer free
from this growing evil. In Richmond,
of late, many of the ministers seem to
have given good deal of their time IN
the pulpit to discussion of municipal
affairs, and there has been considerable
criticism in regard to this, both from
laymen and clergy. The Churchman
voices the convictions of many people
who have observed the propensity OF
some preachers to NEEDLE with municipal
affairs. No lasting good has ever been
accomplished by such movements.
Should they succeed in temporarily
checking certain questionable proceed
ings in a city the time always comes
when the evils break out with more
force than ever. The history Of Eng
land affords verifcation of this truth.
Many years ago nearly all amusements
were interdicted in London by certain
people who did not care to participate in
them. Their power was finally broken
and the RIGHTEOUSNESS which followed
came as food and eclipsed anything
previously seen.

SATURDAY EVENING. DEC. IS, 1902

ALL TRUE Virginians will be pleased
to learn that the contemplated changes
to the Capitol building at Richmond will
not be made and that the building will
remain unaltered so far as its appearance
is concerned. The building will be put
in a new, clean dress out and out, but
will not be changed one iota In exterior
appearance or interior arrangement
Thousands of admirers of the historical
Capitol building are, for old associa-
tons sake, opposed to having 1t modern
lied and their wishes are to be needed
The craze for change and "modernizing
which seems to have taken possession Of
some people in many instances amounts
10 vandalism and this is one of tho promi-
nent instances. While the entire coun-
try is contributing to preserve MI. YER
non in its original appearance, 1t looks
STRANGE that members of the Virginia
legislature should even contemplate a
change in the grandeur and appearance
Of the old State Capitol. If the building
is not elegant enough for the ''moderns"
they should build another, but for
heavens sake let the old Capitol alone,
for an attempt to modernize it would be
ridiculous in theextreme. The building
should be put and kept in perfect repair
and then Virginians will note nothing
strange in the exterior or interior ap-
pearance of the building familiar to and
fbyed bv all.
