taeeous to those who engineerod II.
Now General Castro and his govern
ment have practically repUdlated the
pledge to pay interest on the bonds and
the loan" The German government
insists that the pledge be kept and
that the property rights Of German
citizens be respected. The claims seem
to amount to something like 10000
The United states Is, Of course, not
concerned IN the matter. The German
ambassador at Washington has given
assurances that there VIII be no per-
mancnt occupation Of Venezuelan terri
tory. and that the principles Of The
Monroe doctrine will be respected. Ger
many will simply act on the presidents
recently established In Turkey, ana TO
that proceeding there can be no valid
objection
our government, however, might
consistently suggest arbitration II II
is true that Germany is about to en-
force the payment Of debt much OF
which is fraudulent, arbitration would
be the proper course The debt should
be reduced TO honest limits by dislnter-
csted parties, in the interest OF both
countries. II would be time enough for
Germany to use force, II arbitration
had been tried and found impractIcable.

fail to use IT'S influence for peaceful set
Element Of the difficulty, without ignor-
Ing the spirit Of the agreement entered
into with the other powers represented
at the Hague congress, For while II
may be true that the seizure OF the
customs at certain ports IL not war, yet
In country like Venezuela, the landing
Of foreign troops may lead to war,
whether It Is called by that name or not,
and the powers at the Hague pic ged
themselves to exhaust every mdane for
a peaceful settlement Of difficulties, be-
fore resorting to bloodshed,
Friendly influence ought to be
brought to bear upon the two countries
Interested to settle their differences on
a just and equitable basis.

It is easy to understand why the
shareholders In the Panama canal en-
terprise should now declare their eager
ness to sell their canal at any price,
Should the United States proceed to
complete the waterway via the NIcara-
qua route the money invested in the
Panama enterprise would be almost a
hopeless loss. Even were both canals
20 be dug the one at Panama could
not hope 10 compete with the one at
Nicaragua. II probably would be used
by vessels plying between the Atlantic
and Pacific ports of South America,
but that It has been estimated, is only
about one-fourth of the traffic which
would make use of'an isthmian water

The Democratic State Executive on,mitt &c Meets
in Raleigh on Tuesday Night.

Raleigh, with their constituents with
reference to the wishes of the party in
regard to this matter.
DEMOCRATS WILL GAIN IN n WEST
4 have been in North Carolina but
little during the last few months and
am not as We'll informed as to political
conditions in the State as l otherwise
would have been. but from the best in
formation | have been able to gather at
this distance, 1 believe the party is in
good condition and, if we succeed in get
ting the people to pay their poll taxes
so as to qualify themselves to vote, our
majority, both for the general ticket and
the Legislative, will be a large one. I
DO not share the apprehension of some
that we may sustain losses in the West.
On the other hand, | believe that the
losses which we did sustain in 1900 in
the West on account of the opposition
IN some parts of that section to the
amendment, Will be reclaimed, because
our friends in that section who had
doubts about the effect of the amendment
Will see that those doubts were unbound
cd and that they have been mislcad and
deceived by designing Republican poll
ticians. | see no reason. therefore,. why
we should not gain this year what we
lost in 1900 in the West. | have great
hopes that We will carry every Congress
sional District in the State this year.
BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN THE NATION.
In the nation our prospects of sue
cess are brighter than they have been
for years. There is every evidence of a
widespread disposition among Democrats
of all factions to reconcile their old diff
ferences and get together. The issue out
of which our division in the last few
years grew Will be eliminated. On the

other hand, Republicans are IN a WIZ
between themselves of widespread pro-
portions. and which. it does not now
seem, can be compromised rms war
grows out of the tariff and reclproclty'
In some sections the Republicans want
reciprocity, and in others they don't
want it. In some sections they want re-
ciprOcity with certain countries ana not
with others. For instance, the West
wants reciprocity with France, because
France sells them very little and would,
but for countervailing determinations
against US on account of our tarltt laws,
buy largely of Western products. Inc
East does not want reciprocity with
France because of competition between
certain French products and their own.
The East looks favorably upon reclpro-
city with Cuba. The West, which has
become a great beet sugar section is OPP
posed to it. Notwithstanding the tact
that a number of the great combinations,
like the United States Steel Trust, are
selling its products abroad to foreigners
at from % to 30 percent less than they
are selling the same articles 10 nome
consumers. These combinations insist
upon the continuance of the Dlngley pro
lection rates to keep out competition
from abroad. In view of this OBJECT
lesson, clearly demonstrating that these
interests need no protection, and that
after securing protection against foreign
competition through the tarlff, tney arc
sitting home competition through trustS
and combinations, there IS a Seneral leel-
ing among consumers, whether Demo
Gratis or Republicans, that this outrage
should be stopped. 1t, therefore,, LOOKS
as if in the campaign OF TINS year, the
conditions of 1900 will be reversed ard
the Democrats will be united, while the
Republicans will be divided, upon tie
issue, likely to attract more aItenlloh
than any other and around when the
battle of this year will probably be
fought. OF course, there VIII De otter
