AS TIIR Venezuelan foe; ulcus it becomes plain thai tho pi oat obstacle to a peaceful Settlement In the flrit In stance of the uialtr-ia in dispute wub the us-scHion by Castro's Roveniment of il.v ndliorcncf to the Calvo doctrine. In cifecL this Uoetilne say that a Cler man, for example, who elects to live and do business in Venezuela, must, upon onterintf, bid larcwcll to his na tionality and expect no consideration by reason of it, no matter how out rageously he may Mibsoqucntly be treated by (ho Venezuelan authorities. If a revolution breaks nut during the period of his hojouni and his property is aoled or destioyed, the Calvo doe ltine forbids his enlisting the aid of liis home government in the attempt to .secure justice and leaves him wholly at the mercy of the dictator who hap pen temporal ily to be on top. And it yeeks to stop the intervention of the foreigner's government by holding that what happens to him is none of its business;. This piinciple in almost .so many wowls was illiectly asset tud by Vene zuela jttsi pilot- to the withdrawal of the UiitMi and Ciennan lepresenta thes. It provoked the ultimatums of thebo two governments and undoubt edly was the chief motive for the dis play by Knglind and Ooimany of na val foi re. fco l.u .us the claims cham pioned by tho.se countries aio eon I'Lincd, their amount is not a f taction fit the cot of the methods by which their enfotced ptyment lias been at tempted, but a piinciple of internation- law wjis involved which made neees- aty the assertion of English and fler- authority. For, if the Calvo doc- ne weic to be admitted by default in casp of Venezuela, it could not bo ted in the other countilcs of South etica and there vould be the curi anonntly of one kind ot internation Uw for the American hemisphere a wholly dlfterent kind lor the Ett- opean. The Calvu docttine must go. It Is fundamentally vicious. "We knocked the props irom under it when we inter vened in Cuba, disregarding the argu ment of Spain tint what went on in Spanish territory was none ot our business. AVe established then that it was some of our business, so much so that when wo got through Spain wus out of business und a new ltpublic was in business, under bonds to behave. This lesson mutt be impressed on South Amotion. Xo nation lives for and to itself alone. None can build an arbitrary wall about itself and say that within that wall it will do as it shall please, regardless of the world at laige. Just as the householder nest door must Keep within certain bounds of neighbor llness and exhibit a certain bplilt of recognition that thu mo nthots, so nations aio being held more and mom lo a ceitain international .standnid o correct behavior. Tlio Calvo doctrine, like the "public bo damned" policy of i ui tain laigo coi potations, iMimot be tolerated.

TIIKIIE was recently concluded in England a dlvotre tilal between two titled peison agos who, with their family connections and tespectlve circles of friends and champions, leptesenled u largo percentage of what may Tor con venience sake be called the Hilttpli no bility. Almost all of the testimony at the dial was unlit to print but the Impression which it left upon the mind, viewing It in the most c hat Ituble light, wiih that thole Is in England a Ktigo number of persons in the upper circles of llfo who lmo lnllen Into evil ways less thtougli lnheient vlclousness than because they have nothing else to do. Tlio men, 'it was shown, hunted ioes, gambled and pursued other men'H wives. The women gambled, hunted foxes and lllrtod with other women's liusbuuds. The lcsult was a condition of .society that made the Ten Com nitindttients look lonesome. It -would be untitle to bay that this State of things Is typical of luitish bocloty. It is typical only of a certain fraction of llritlsh society, the idle frac tion. But by way of contrast it is pleasing to read in the London Times that the most significant tact impressed upon its s-pecial correspondent who ac companied the Mosely commlslon dur ing its study or Amoiican Industry was the incessant personal attention given by the Aineilcui manufacturer to his factory and processes and the exaction of similar attention fiotn subordinates who occupy places of control. 'The Times couespondent found few idleis in Ameiica. Even the sons of million alios weie wotklng ami the mle among the majority of them was that they must set an example of Induslty to those associated with them in entei prlses of business. America, remarks the Times, has not yet learned to le gaid Idleness or devotion to lrlvolous amusements as a mailc of (-ncl.il dis tinction, and we may well hope that she never will. Thote wats at one time an appear ance of danger that our .social Hie might Icain to put a piciiiium on idle ness and thereby dtift inlo vice. Hut we have been saved temporarily by the wondeilul wave of material ptospeilty which has made eveiy man eager to make a harvest while the sun shines. Our war with Spain, too, and tho conse quences How lug from It have done much to re-invigorate tlio cm tents of young American blood, causing even the anae mic pulses of our gilded youth to leap faster and circulate more led cotptts cles. To what degiee the sttenuous-nc-s of our Hough Jlidcr picsldent has contributed to setting a pace among young men to the put pic boin can only bo conjectmed, but without question he has been a tonic force of no small value. And while our social life is not fiee from scandal It can ttutlifully bo said that the small circle which in this counliy apes the manners and the woithlessness of the gaming and adul teious nobility of Europe Is in no sense repiesentatlvo but ,on. the contrary is to exceptional and unnatural its to dtaw upon itself general ridicule and censure even trom the latgo majority of these Ameiicans eligible by birth und wealth to a. place In its "helect" ranks. Ac coaling to the census llguioa Pennsylvania has JSO.OOO moie uninar lled men of lujultigeablo ago than un man led women. Thy should bo taught that it is not good to live alone, Church Attendance. THE rALLIN'tt off in attend ance on divine worship among Ptolestant Cluistlnns has been so fiequently us (.oitcU .is to have gained acceptance by many without question. Many clergy men accept and bemoa.i It and the to llglous press ftom tlmo to tlmo has in It learned dl3ou?son3 of the pioblem how to got people to go to chinch. Tor otnsolves we tuo not piep.tied to cxpiess any opinion as to whether or not thcte has been actually a decline In chinch attendance, meie opinion with out evidence rallying lltllo weight. Hut our attentlun has been called to a let ter lecoiitly pilnitd in the New Voik Sun, which sheds sonw light upon thn question, at lenbt so far as New Yotk city Is concerned. The wtlter, an old lefldent of that city, made a careful petsonal study, cliutcit by chinch, cov eting a period of twelve mouths. Wo need not icpoat tho detulls which ho enuinerateb, for his conclusion will suf fice. ,It Is that tho aveiago chmch at tendance Is botttr than It used to bo twenty or thitty yeats ago, ami that what gives Use to the opposite belief is the fact that tluuo niu so many moro ehuiches nowadays that the attendance Is gieatly divided. Delving back Into the icllglous lltcruime of three decades ago, tho Sun couespondent found thnt the decline of chinch attendance was Just as solonmly uillrmcd and Just as higubrlously legaidcd then as It Is to day, Thin Is his summing up; "Things mo undoubtedly better tltun they were thitty years ago; but there s a manifest danger In tho present day. So many leaders In thr chinch tiy to multo religion popular, In bpltq of tho dellnlte teachings of their divine inns ter regaidlng tho dllfereuco which must always exist between the woilrt und the church. Bishop nurgess, thu gifted bishop of Long Isltnd, icctntly spoke of this In a sermon In St. Paul's chnpel, New York, when ho presented (In u way which ultnost piovoked tho risibil ity of his hearers) tho absurd efforts which are being made to organize the churches of Christ on tho Hues of a social club. A gymnasium, a ptoplo'K concert, a chuich fair, public baths, and even a theatre In the basement of a chuich, arc among the many expedi ents fofvdrawlng (icoplo to Christianity. The New Ttctnmciil presented the Sa viour lifted up, the attractions of the Ores, as tlio only legitimate means of lining a church. In other winds, there Is a danger of tho model n church pn levelling those bntrlora which popnrato 'the world ftom tho church that In the course of tllne people will sec llltlo or no dlft'erettco between a sacred concert nt Proctor'u and a choral evensong In omc popular chmch. Hut bad ns things me, they are nothing compared a 1th The conditions of Clulstlunlty when Wesley, Whltllold and ltonmlno produced the evangelical revival." Obesrvatlon rertatnly confirms the conclusion that eccentric pi caching with vaudeville tilmmlngs docs not per manently l ecru It the ranks of tho re deemed. It may lilt the contribution boxes for a tlmo nnd secure widespread advertising In tho yellow journals but fundamentally what mankind wants and needs Is the old-rashloncd story of the Cios, told plainly, kindly yet Be vel ely, and the preacher who preaches nlong thcHs lines?, If In the first place lilted for the ministry, will never lack congregation?. m Accoidlng lo one Sidney Klein, as set forth In the Jewish Chronicle, far in the interior of "Western Australia dwells a ttibe of black men who ob serve tlio Jewish Sabbath, disdain the flesh of swine and practice religious obseivatices lttdely similar to those outlined lit the Old Testament, the ln feionee being that they are remnants of one of the lost tribes of Israel. Klein claims to have made this dlscov eiy while exploring. The public will bo glad to receive further pioof. The New Yoik Times pays high com pliment to the moderation, sobriety and circumspection with which the Ameri can pies as a whole tieated the recent ctlsls over Venezuela, and the compli ment is descived. Cut the pi ess has simply loflected public opinion. The fact is that expansion has sobered .pur people. , " m The ChlcaRO man who pioposes to erect a cable 230 miles high und draw unlimited eleetilcal power from tho lnteistellar spaces cannot be accused of a low aim In life.

From tho New York Tribune Tho Intelligence) that Admlial Ccrvera boa been appointed chief of staff of the Spuntsh navy will ciuso a sincere feeling ot gratlllcatlou thiouglioitt tho United States, Ordinarily a similar promotion in the mllltniy servlca of a foreign coun tiy In tlmo of neaco excites only a lau guld Interest elsewhere, oxecnt. perhaps. In professional circles; but the caso of Admiral Genera is peculiar. Wo feel suto that ho Is still regarded in this country with a sympathetic Interest, to wlilcu lio la well entitled, not merely In remembranco of tho tiagedy In which ha piuyea an honorable tliouirh a molan choly part, but also because ho Inrge'y contilbuted to a restoration of amicable relations between Spain and the United States, or rather, perhaps, of a recipro cal good reeling which facilitated jrovern mental negotiations between tho two countries, and will, wo hopo, make their olDctal Intercourse permanently ugrce- auie. In his desperate exit under orders from tho harbor of Santiago, aboard tho Infer ior vessel to which ho had transferred his ling with full knowledgo that ho was sacrificing somo chances of personal es cape, Admiral Cervcra was: so iratlant a figure, and his demeanor In the hour of litter defeat was so flni that every American was immediately conscious of inctcnscd respect for tlio raco to which ho belonged. If that had been all It might havo been enough to produco a favorable effect upon tho subsequent course or events. mt tnat was only tho beginning of tho servlco which ho ren dered. As a prisoner of war ho was so free from bitterness of spirit, so appre ciative of every courtesy which ho re ceived, and so modest nnd sano when ho found himself tho object of a suddon ad mhatlQu which did not Invariably express Itself hr-judlclous ways, thnt he may bo said to liuvo been tho means of recreat ing an atmosphere of international kind liness in which ancient sentiments of lrlundshtp were soon revived. If, thoiefore, aB wo bclievo the fact to be, few icsentmcuts survlvo among a high-spirited people after a war of con quest, and a better understanding exists between Spain and tho United StatoH than had prevailed for many years before tho outbreak of hostilities. Admiral Cor vera must bo lccognlzed as an influential factor In tho establishment of those happy relations, and there is sure to bo much satisfaction hero, where hn is popu lnily esteemed, at tho announcement that ho has been olllelally distinguished in his own country.
