Senior Insignares. in answer, ex-
pressed his deep sorrow at finding that
the hopes of reconciliation were i'm
possible of realization, and that the
actions of the people of the isthnuS
of Panama were irrevOcable. lie de-
clared that all the people of Colombia
would unite in an effort to enforce the
rights of the republic on the isthmus
of Panama even at the cost of great
sacrifices. SenoreS Arosemona and
Morales then delivered addresses in
which they expressed views similar to
those enunciated by Senior Arias.
The threat of SenCr Insignares that
the republic of Colombia would en-
force its rights in isthmian territory
did not cause apprehension to the Pan
amanian commissioners, who received
it with equanimity. and did not give
it any serious consideration. 1t was
unofficially announced by the Colon
bian commissioners that Gen. Reyes,
representing the Bogota government,
was coming to the isthmuS to confer
with the provisional government of
Panama.

Politics being little dull, and
the indications being rather UNI
favorable for any great activity
along that line for some time, the
ST. Cloud papers ara turning their
attention to theology. The Jour
nal Press preached a long sermon
at Christmas tide on the influence
of the church upon the religious
sentiment of the masses, aiming at
the sapient conclusion that what
eyerl of christian teaching is ac-
cepted and acted upon by the peo-
pie is not only not due to the
churches, but really in defiance Of
them, as the churches have, on the
whole, retarded rather than acceler-
ated the acceptance of the teach
ings of the Christ. To this position
the Times takes exceptions, and
these two vigorous journals are
fighting like cats and dogs toprove
to their readers that each is the
better exponent of the Sermon
on the Mount. Up to date the
Times seems to have the better of
it-but then Bishop Reynolds has
not vet been heard fromat least
not over his own signature.

OCTOBER 20. 1902.

At the last session of the Board OF
County Commissioners, and at the ses-
SION which terminated the long and
faithful service ofiEdward Smith. he
offered the following resolution,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That the sum of two thous-
and five hundred dollars be and the
same is hereby appropriated out Of
any funds IN the county treasury be-
longing to the road and bridge fund
for the purpose of aiding in the con-
straction and repair of that certain
street in the city of Sank Centre,
known as the extension of Third-st,,
and that certain road connecting with
said street and running in an easterly
direction through section ten in the
town of Sank Centre for the pun pose of
aiding in the construction OF three
bridges on said street and road, the
preparation of said sum to be expend-
ed in said city of Sank Centre and the
preparation of said sum to be eXpend-
ed in the said town OF Sank Centre to
be hereafter determined by this Board.
Since satisfied that it was the
will of majority of the citizens of
Sank Centre city and town that
Third-st. be extended, Commits
sioner Smith bent every energy
to securing the largest approprla-
ton possible from the county. 1t
is not generally known, perhaps,
but it is nevertheless true, that it
is not the easiest matter in the
world to break into the county
treasury for road and bridge appro-
priations even though the case has
merit, and it would have been an
easy matter to have lost this partic-
ular piece of county aid. Mr..
Smith is entitled to great credit
for his activity IN this matter-an
impression within a limited circle
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The HERALD repeats, what it has
said before, Mr.. Smiths opposition
to the proposed road rested solely
upon his conviction that It was not
feasible, was not demanded and
was not of sufficient value to either
the city or the county to warrant
the expenditure of the money it
would cost. When convinced that
it was demanded and feasible he
favored as liberal an appropriation
for it as might be necessary to
make it first-class highway, and
to that end he has since labered,
and labored effectively.
And one word relative to his long
term of office; He retires after
eight years of faithful service to his
own district and the county at
large without stain upon his
record. Strictly honest and
straightforward, he has conducted
the business entrusted to him as de-
votedly as though it had been all
his own. He has been economical
without being parsimonious, and
has had a firm grasp upon the bust
ness of Stearns county. His dis.
trict owes him a debt of gratitude.

President Roosevelt was strong
ly urged by England and Germany
to arbitrate their differences with
Venezuela, and President Castro
was more than pleased with the
selection. 1t was distinguished
mark of confidence, but after de-
liberation the president urged the
powers to accept the Hague COM
mission to hear and determine the
points at issue. This is the wiser
plan for more reasons than one.
The Hague international court,
which received the written assent
and approval of twenty-six powers,
was long step forward in that it
seeks to substitute arbitration for
war in international differences,
and to substitute any other arbitra-
ton for it in the first case Of grave
Importance would be to discredit
the court. Furthermore, it relieves
this country from any possible
unpleasant complications which
might arise in case the conclusions
were not satisfactory.

could not be present. Rev. S. II. Zim-

before Judge James Aldrich Saturday
morning. The State was represented

Nelson's affidavit that Jeter appro-
priated to his own use $500 given him
by Nelson with which to buy cattle.
That having appropriated the money
he left. 1t seems that he came to New
berry and opened up in business for
himself, running butcher shop.
