C. \ John Bull, A Bully. i A vigorous statement of tho casu by Henry Cabot Lodgo. (Sfecial cable dispatch to (be Wot Id,) I have only just returned from 1 Spain and derive my information in 1 regard to Venezuela from what I 1 have seen in the Fnglish newspapers 1 since I reached l'aris From their 1 statements it appears that Fngland I lias sent an ultimatum to Veucacula * threatening the Use of military and * naval force if reparation is not made at once for alleged injuries to 1 certain British subjects, and declin- c ing arbitration as to a large portion of the territory in dispute botweeu 1( the two nations. H Reparation for injuries to the Fng? " lish police is, of course, a mere ex c euse, if this report is correct. Nations n do not seek redress for such injuries 0 by at once threatening military ro- w prisals. They begin by diplomatic g representations. oi The Belgians sonic time ago hang- ai ed a British suhii?<?t ?i?l? m the formality of u drum-head court- w martial, but England has not yot &i threatened Belgium with armed- in T vasion. . 1 H The real point in Ycneauela is the ^ disputed territory. There is not a ui foot of land west of the Essequibo U: ltiver to which England has an undisputed title in law and by historical evidence; yet she has gradually pushes forward her boundary beyond that w river until she has seized from Yen CJJ esuela territory as large as the i?taie j of New York. lo If ever there was a proper case for p arbitration it is this. But England has thus far declined arbitration and 1Hl has kept steadily on seizing land from Yeneauela. The possesion of all this j land, if reports are correct, she now proposes ta confirm by military { , invasion and the use of force. Ul( Such action, involving forcible acquisition of new territory, is a gros? ^ violation of the Monroe doeir.ne an , 'jt'h** ' i o ' " t united States. UJL The English say that they cann d 1(^, recognise the Monroe doctrine; that Oo it is not international law. L'hat is 1oj truu enoui/h.

To them a hog is a hog, and that is all the.e is about it; and they "argue that with plenty of corn one will make fully as much gain and as good pork as the other. In a majority of cases a careful trial would go a long way toward proving . . the contrary. One of the easic&t and Icaat expensive ways, of making a trial % is to select oim or more good sows and breed them to a thoroughbred boar reasonably well matured, "possessing individual merit to an extent .link he * will be able to transmit his good q[ual-* ities te his offspring, lie will iCau- "" iiy sec that the pigs from such auat~.> ing are superior in appoarauce-and... quality and will fatten uioro readily . than the average scfub.
