A Fruitful Episode
rnm the Hartford Conrant.

From the Hartford Courant
AS things are turning out, this Ven
ezuelan episode makes the voice OF this
country in matters that concern IL
more authoritative than ever; notably,
strengthens the Monroe doctrine, brings
increments Of prestige to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay, confers
new Importance and dignity upon the
permanent international court, and has
lot of encouragement in it for those
OF us who are hoping to see the peace
ful methods of arbitration chosen
more and more requently by the nations
in preference to the bloodshed and
economic waste of war.

of patriotism to get as much for given
commodity as possible.
There are other phases worth con
sideratlon: Delaware has been too
often regarded as a cheap State. and
this idea must be dissipated. We are
all interested in securing the highest
prices for our peaches. our corn, and
for votes at the general election. Then
why should Legislators hold themselves
at low figure? Corn is worth what il
will bring. and so is a statesman.
We say in all sincerity that if mem
bers are Interested in knowing the
market reports, we think ere the ses-
sion is over they will fetch at least
s25 900 each. II man has paid a mill
lion dollars for a commodity and yet
lacks a little Of having It complete, he
will Pay handsomely for the remainder
So we hope the bulls win control, since
we wish to see all the money possible
put in circulation; besides it keeps tn,
merchants national Of Boston busy.
But one last word OF caution is
necessary: Sell for cash. Don't take
promises or long-term notes. Their,
are ex-statesmen in Delaware who will
always wear a canlser in their bosomt
because promised payment could moi
be enforced. Get the cash in hand
before delivering the goods. or course
II is understood that but few are wise
In their own generation, and those who
VIII take the tide when it serves are
fow. These must uphold Delaware 8
reputation by making the considera-
ton high, and by getting IL in ad-
vance.

From the Boston Post.
