IF IT’S SEWS THE HUES GETS IT. To Investigate England’s Claims. Judged by it* own history the . attitude of Great Britain, under premiership of Lord Salisbury, in refusing to arbitrate the Venezuel an boundary dispute is deserving ol severe co&demnation. Not since ■. . , the Schomburg line was drawn and receded from have such extravagant and positive claims to territory been made until Salisbury assumed con troL It was then that the discov¬ ery was made that Great Britain s title to the disputed territory was so clear that there was no ground for arbitration. When Lord Gran¬ ville was the head of the foreign office, in 1883, Great Britain’s title evidently was not so clear, for a treaty was then drawn and agreed to with Gen. Guzman Blanco, the Venezuelan envoy extraordinary, according to which the disputed points were to be submitted to ar¬ bitration, the result to be bind¬ ing on both governments. Lord h who entered office Salisbury, after the overthrow of shortly on the Gladstone ministry', ^ promptly of re9C rescinded the arbitration clause J^eb^- Nor was the recent Sjo mmistry so full of assur ^in^ H-m ^ steudilv feid to the position that its i»BytM*tth title to ,no ^ ^ c *^«nb e Un noco, u must detenrunatumi not th a ^ JbS&Kwd tb ,t ^ A P n 0 con- and !r«^w^ mouth of that river toriAita title to a fair tribunal for adjudication. «» The Toccoa - .: • "■ kjjjggg^ ' 3 - V - KM ..

When that commission reports it can be l decided whether Great Britain’s operations are such as to bring the dispute within the mean¬ ing of the .Monroe doctrine as m tended to be asserted and main¬ tained by the people of the United States. This action is made neces¬ sary by Sali&bEfry’« refusal to arbi¬ trate. ’ All this government desires is the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, It does not con ider it self concerned and will not be dis posed to quarrel over any lesser is SU a than that. l t j s unfortunate that British sub j e cts should bold so strongly to the opinion that the message, of the resident, is merely a play for pop ular favor preceding an election, ; t j s ; u be regretted that our pe¬ litical history in the past gives The.poJ:?- some - 0 lor to this suspicion. such ca i interpretation given to by natlers leads Britain to discount too much the position taken so forci v by the president. press can >u fittie satisfaction from it- claim t(l lt t i, e L’tiited States in appoint j ing a commission of its own is ig j noring the rights of ouc ol tiic chief parties to the dirputd, and that this : "»»'••?**“* Britain no chance to eitituu its rights. . , .
