An alihi has been proven in the
case Of the Indian who was charged
with the murder Of White. the negro
man who was shot down in his own
house recently, and here we expect
the matter stops. Seriously, this is
a bad state of affairs. yet we must en-
dure H. The man with the pistol is
the man to be dreaded He is a foe
to the peaceful in every community;
he is stunned by law-abiding men
and should be looked upon as an out.
cast and ostracized by all society.
Yet he goes on day after day in pomp,
Gus delight that he is fiagrantly vio
lating the law and none dare call him
down, Why is this? We venture the
assertion here that every officer alert
to his duty has time after time known
that certain individuals We're violating
the law by carrying deadly weapons
Yet made no move to hinder him ol
have him suffer the penalty The fine
of $50 it is evident is no bar to the
onense. Innocent blood is shed daily
over the land and will continue to be
until some strenuous legislation is ad
vanced making the crime OF carrying
concealed weapons one of as crimina
greatness as actual murder itself

VENEZUELAN NOTES.

President Roosevelt has declined
the invitation Of the allies to arbitratc
the question Of the preferential pay
ment.
London officials insist that the al
lies proffer to submit the method OF
treatment to arbitration ought to ia
cilitate a settlement
The controversy will now go to The
Hague for settlement.
AS soon as the protocols referring
the controversy TO The Hague tribu
nal have been signed the blockade will
be raised.
The reference of the dispute to
The Hague is considered victory
for Mr. Bowen. as Venezuela will not
have to begin payments until the
question of priority is settled, which
may be delayed many months.
The revolution is thought to have
about exhausted itself
The discovery that a secret alliance
exists between Germany and Italy
serves TO further complicate matters
There is but little change in the
Venezuelan situation. The protocols
referring the controversy to The
Hague are being prepared.
Representatives of the allies are
busily engaged preparing the proto-
coils for reference OF the controversy
TO The Hague. The blockade will be
raised as soon as the protocols are
signed
Minister Bowen visited the British
ambassador at his residence and the
latter submitted a draft of his proto-
col. Mr. Bowen was well pleased
with II and is bending his efforts TO
having the others made identical.
