n COMPARISON.

Let us put ourselves in the
place of the Venezuelans. Let ua
imagine that in the last critical
months of our own civil war, when
the nation WAS strained to the ut
most to support it's armies and
maintain liz credit at home and
abroad, Great Britain and Ger.
many had suddenly delivered All
ultima'um at Washington for the
imm"diat. payment of the claims
of their subjects who had suffered
in the progress OF the war. and
had sent fleets OF ironclads TO
threaten New York and Boston.
Would that have been an act OF
friendllness? Would we not rather
have interpreted il as an act of
almost malignant cruelty? Would
we have paid those claims, save a.
we were actually coerced by the
muzzles of shotted canon? Yet
Great Britain and Germany are
now doing exactly this toward lit
tie Venezuela, n nation feeble at
best, whose government has spent
its last dollar aud it's last ounce of
strength against formidable in
surrection. Great Britain and
Germany can crush and humiliate
such government, but they can
not force it to pay gold when it
has none. These European pow.
ers have nobody but themselves to
blame if the belief swiftly strength
ems among the American people
that London and Berlin are guilty
of an net of cowardice and dis.
honor. Boston Journal.
