Great Britain and the South American republic of Venezuela have been quarrelling for some time past about the boundary line between the republic and the colony of British Guiana, which adjoins it. As the coun try in dispute is nothing but a nv.rsh, which nobody cared much about, the question as to where the boundary line really was did not assume any im portance until recently, when very valuable gold mines were discovered beneath the marsh lands. Both countries insisting strenuously upon their right to the disputed territory, and the offer of the United States to ar bitrate this matter beingdeclined byGreatBritain.thisgovernment has been drawn into a dispute with which it was not directly concerned, the principle under lying the “Monroe doctrine”, to which it is committed, being that the effort of any European power to acquire territory in America will be regarded as an act of unfriendliness towards the United States. President Cleveland sent a message to Congress on Tues day asserting that the Monroe doctrine was applicable to tne question in issue, and recom mending the appointment of a commission to investigate the matter and report at once. The President concluded his mes sage in the following words: “When such report is made and accepted, it will, in my opinion, be the duty of the United States to resist by every means in its power, as a willful aggression upon its rights and interests, the apporpriation by Great Brit ain of any lands, or the exercise of governmental jurisdiction ov er any territory .which, after in vestigation, we have determin ed of right belong to Venezuela. ” So it will be seen that there is a strong prospect of war between this country and Great Britain, both of them having gone so far that it seems almost impossible for either to recedd from its position. The effects of such a war would be so far-reaching, that the very idea of it almost paralyzes thought. Our own judgment is, however, that there will be no war after all. Some way will yet be found out of the difficulty. The world is too advanced. Great Britain and the United States too civilized to plunge into such an awful war as that would be, and about such an issue I THE NEW CONSTITUTION. In view of the exceeding in terest that the masses of the people seem to take in the new State Constitution that was framed recently, The News ex pects at an early day to publish the whole of it in the forn. if a supplement which it will send out to its subscribers. As the organic law under which the people of the State are to live for there’s no telling how many years to come, every citizen of the State would do well to fam iliarize himself with its salient features as soon as possible, and the publication of it in the man ner referred to would, we be lieve, be greatly appreciated by the public. On account of its importance, the document, when pyblished in this form, will be well worth preserving by those to whom it will be sent. While ihere are some object ionable features in it, and some that give promise of trouble in the future, the instrument, tak en as a whole, far exceeds all expectations, in view of the dis turbed condition of things in the State at the time of its adop tion and for a period of five years prior thereto. There afe several grammatical and rhe torical inaccuracies in it that might well have been corrected before its final adoption, but these will not, of course, seri ously affect the instrument it self. In fact, if we except the much talked-of “understand ing” clause which was incor porated in the suffrage section, the new Constitution is one that would do credit to any State in the Union. One good effect obtained from the holding of the Convention was the bringing together for so many weeks in one body leading members of the two white factions in the State, all of whom vied together for wha* they conceived to be its best in terests. The result was to open the eyes of some of both fac tions, who, for more than five years, have held to the theory that nothing could, by any pos sibility, be good that was not arrayed on their particular side. While we regret to have to give utterance to such a conviction, it is, nevertheless forced upon us as being true from our know ledge of the situation, that this generation shall have passed away before any appreciable change will be manifested in the strained relations now ex isting between the two factions. Anything, therefore, that tends to mitigate, even in a small de gree, the stringency of that re lation should be welcomed by every good citizen. The hold ing of the Constitutional Con vention certainly did that. A COMPLACENT SPIRIT. The News and Courier corre spondent in Columbia, about the time of the adjournment of the Constitutional Convention, interviewed a number of its leading members to get their opinions in regard to the work ♦hat had been accomplished. Those interviewed seem to have resolved themselves forthwith into a sort of “mutual admira tion society”, to judge from the universal spirit that pervaded their several expressions of opinion. The greatness which the framers of the organic law had developed, the winder of the law itself, and how benefi cially it will operate in the in' terests of the “dear people”, all made mighty funny reading coming from the makers of the law themselves. It would, in our judgment, have been in far better taste for them to have “sawed wood and said nothing' when appicached by the News and Courier man, leaving the people who are to live under it to find out all these things for themselves by a thorough test of the law.
