DEMOCRACY.
What is Democracy? Sixty years
ago, at a banquet, Sonator William
Allen, of Ohio, answered that query in
the following language. “Democracy
is a sentiment not to be appalled, cor
rupted or compromised; it knows no
baseness, it cowers to no dangers, it
opposes no weakness. Fearless, gen-
ous and humane, it rebukes tbe arro
gant, cherishes honor and sympathizes
with the humble. Destructive only of
despotism, it is the sole conservator of
liberty, labor and property. It is tbe
sentiment of froodom, equal rights,
of equal obligations. The stu
pid, the selfish and the base in spirit
may denounce it as a vulgar thing, but
in tbe hiatory of onr race, the Demo
cratic principle has developed the high
est moral and intellectual attributes of
onr nature."

Castro Government Growing In l n-
popularlty—New York Asphalt Com
pany Prepared to IXTend Its Prop
erty l»y Force of Arms.
Port or Spain. Island of Trinidad,
FeU lit.—A correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press lias just returued from a
ten days’ stay iu Caracas. Venezuela,
where lie went to investigate the \ eno-
zuelan situation. The outlook at the
Venezuelan capital is not good. There
is a feeling of apprehension iu the air.
The Castro government becomes more
unpopular, aud hostility to it is talked
rather freolv, and the substantial and
solvent poo's le of the community con
demn the government's attitude toward
tho New Y’urk and Bermudez Asphalt
company^w York auJ Bermu dez com-
pauv, the correspondent is informed, is
quetly gathering a strong force of well
armed and well drilled inen at the pitch
lake. These men are under the com
mand of Major Rafferty, formerly of
the Seventy-first New York, a brave
and efficient officer. They will resist
all encroachment, whether made by
government or revolutionary troops.
The United States gunboat Scorpion has
been ordered to tho pitch lake, with or
ders not to allow the company to bo dis
possessed prior to the conclusion of tno
judical investigation of the case now
being made iu Washington.
The Judiciary Bulldozed.
Tho Venezuelan government is endea
voring in t very possible way to persuade
the rich Bermudez company to resort
to the tribunals. The refusal of the
company to adopt that coarse Is based
npon’the knowledge that in \ euezuela
the president or dictator changes the
judges iu a night aud imprisons them
if they do not give the judgments they
aro bidden to give. The correspondent
talked with five diplomats in Caracas.
They all asserted that the United
StatesVjovernmont had acted with great
prudence and with a degroo of forbear
ance which almost ceased to o? » vir
tue. Thev spoke highly of the skill and
taot with' which Minister Loomis has
met the situation. .... , „ _
The diplomatic side of this business
it most important aud interesting. The
United States, after receiving all the
legal records and facts ia the contro
versy witli the Venezuelan government,
decided to make a thorough investiga
tion and sent for a complete set of laws
of Venezuela, some HI volumes. Pend
ing the outcome of this investigation,
thev asked the Venezuelan government
as a matter of courtesy between friendly
nations, to kindly suspend the operation
of the decree dispossessing the New
York-Bermudez company till'an investi
gation cull be made. I lie Venezuelan
government declined to do this. The
request was repeated and again refused.
It was then made a third time, in an
emphatic manner, by Mr. Francis B.
Loomis; in fact, it was put as a sort of
vigorous demand the third time; but the
result was the same, lheu a protest
was made, and that was ignored by the
Castro government, though it had ample
tow or and authority to meet any or all
of these demands if it saw Ut.
Other Outrages.
The trouble over tho asphalt is only
one if a large number of incidents in
which the Venezuelan goveruinont has
recently boeu guilty of grave offense to
the government of the United States.
Three months ago the consular agent; of
, “e United States at Barcelona was
thrust into prison without cause, lhe
United States government demanded an
anologv, but has net yet received it. A
Xr earlier the same consul was ar
rested ami threatened with torture if
ho did not pay a large sum of money tc
local military officials.
A few mouths ago a German mer-
chant at Barcelona was tortured bv offi
cials there tor the purpose of extorting
money from him. n.« German govern-
me i,'sent a cruiser there at once and gol
satisfaction and kept the ^vessel font
months in Wnezuelau waters.
Tho Italians have had iueii*of-war iu
Venezuelan waters most of tho tune foi
*t„.r war the American consul at
Laguara was attacked aud his lifs
threatened. The United States govern-
mem has never received satisfactory
reparation for that.
