FREELAND, NOVEMBER 21, 18Ur.
War With Knglan<l Is Remote.
Washington Corr. in Philn. Times.
There may bo wars and rumors of 1
wars throughout the world, hut there j
will be no war between the United
States and Great Britain in the near
future. For many years Great Britain
has been without .more than a ten days' j
supply of breads toil's at any one time.
A nation thus conditioned cannot go to
war with the country which feeds her
people. At no time during the past two
months, while newspapers have been
tilling columns concerning our foreign
policy, has there been any apprehension
of conflict, so far as the department or
state is concerned; and no official of that
department has given any information
to warrant the stories of alarmists and
theorists, The policy of the department
of state has been constantly the policy
of President Cleveland, and the course
pursued by Secretary (fluey has been
cordially and wholly approved. The
land-grabbing of Great Britain lias long
continued, and Venezuelan territory of
vast acreage lias been gradually absorb
ed, without the consent of Venezuela.
The time has come for the expression of
a positive opinion by this country, and
Secretary Olney communicated to the
Britisli foreign office the views of the
president; and there was no mistaking
the earnestness of the diplomatic utter
ance. It meant the complete enforce
ment of the Monroe doctrine, and Great
Britain must sooner or later accept the
ultimatum. But there is not the slight
est sign of a war cloud.
Hostilities would speedily result in the
solution of the question of Canadian an
nexation, and Great Britain might better
give up all of her other possessions and
claims in the western hemisphere, than
to lose Canada. This fact is well under
stood in the diplomatic world. There is
not a diplomatic representative in Wash
ington who entertains the belief that
there will be war between the United
States and Groat Britain. Within a
month, and maybe within two weeks
from the commencement of hostilities,
there would he at least 500,000 Irish-
American citizens ready to march into
Canada. Moreover, they would be rein
forced by another half million of tin
same class; and they would be such
soldiers as the world seldom sees in
battle array. They would light under
the stars and stripes, but they would
have emblazoned upon their memories
the harp of Ireland as their chief incen
tive. British diplomats understand the
situation, and probably every well-in
formed man in Great Britain appreciates
the circumstances.
Self-interest and a clear vision of the
future danger have prompted the British
government to seek amicable relations
with the United States very recently.
For the welfare of her greater interests
and for the welfare of entire Anglo-
Saxon race, Great Britain will not pur
sue her land-grabbing policy in defiance
of the protest of this country. Tin;
Monroe doctrine will bo respected. It is
conceivable that a war may be necessary
to bring about the racial unity which the
future will require; but it not re
garded as at ail likely at this time. On
the contrary, the officials of our depart
ment of state, and the leading diplomatic
representatives of foreign nations, ex
press the belief that war would be a folly
which Great Britain is not likely to en
ter upon, and it all rests with tiiat coun
try. The United States government is
not seeking war, but peace.
Lawyer John T. Lenahan, during the
preliminaries of tho Windish trial, had
a wordy skirmish with other attorneys
on the case and it came about that he
had promised to vote for Judge Rice, a
promise which lie admitted had been
given last July and fulfilled at tho re
cent election. To vote for the Luzerne
member of the superior court Mr. Lena
han had to cut some one of tho Demo
cratic nominees, which act, in the eyes
of leaders like Lenahan, is an unpar
donable offense against Democracy—
whom committed by an ordinary mem
ber of the party. While not denying
the right of any man to vote for whom
he pleases, there is no harm in noting
tho inconsistency of those who profess
to be the only genuine simon-pure Dem
ocrats in the county, it is handy for
reference when the bosses try to read
some people out of the party for being
considered guilty of something similar.

K. OF L. SESSION.
The Matter of Admitting Liquor
Sellers Discussed.
Washington, Nov. 19.—At the after
noon session of the general assembly of
the; Knights of Labor a resolution
declaring .11 favor of the recognition of
the < hi bans as belligerants was adopted.
The assembly also disposed of the
amendment relative to the admission of
members engaged in the liquor trade
temporarily. The constitution was so
amended as to exclude gamblers, law
yers, bankers and brokers as at present,
and also to exclude all employers en
gaged in the manufacture of or dealers
in intoxicating liquors, but permitting
each local assembly to decide for itself
whether it will admit bar-keepers,
waiters, etc., engaged temporarily in
the work of dispensing liquors, but
having no connection with the place
where employed as proprietor.

MEETING OFJMRESS
Less Than Thirty Members
Yet in Washington.
Contests fop Houso Offices Promise
To lie Spirited—Candidates from
Illinois, Ohio, Kansas and Pennsyl
vania—Several of Them at the Cap
ital Preparing for the Struggle.
Washington, Nov. 19.—Although
v-ongress will assemble a week from
i next Monday fewer than thirty mem
bers of the house are in the city. All
aur republicans. Excepting four, all
are from the south and west.
These early arrivals are here princi
pally in the interests of the candidates
for the several house offices. The eon-
I test for the clerkship and doorkeeper
| ship promises to be a spirited one. Ex-
Representative McDowell of Pennsyl
vania and W. T. Glenn of Cuba, N. Y. f
have opened headquarters at Willard's
hotel. The two gentlemen are under
stood to have formed a combination
to secure the offices of clerk and door
keeper. respectively. Ex-Representa
tive Ilerfderson of Illinois is also a can
didate for clerk and has installed him
self at the Ebbitt house. W. S. Tipton
of Cleveland. Tenn., who will be Mr.
Glenn's principal competitor for door
keeper, arrived in town yesterday and
last evening removed to the Ebbitt
house, where he will make his head
quarters until the caucus meets.
The Kansas representatives have a can
didate for chaplain in the person of
Rev. 11. D. Fisher of Westmoreland,
who was a prominent abolitionist in
antebellum days while it was yet a
territory. The Ohio representatives
say that they will bring forward a can
didate for postmaster but the report
to-day is that they are unable to agree
upon their man. The Missouri
representatives are asking that their
state be recognized by the election of
one of their citizens as sorgeant-at
arms. 1 heir candidate is Benjamin F.
Russell, who recently held the office of
speaker of the lower branch of the
state legislature. It lias been reported
that the colored republicans of the
country desire the selection of one of
their number as chaplain, and it is un
derstood that one of their candidates
is the Rev. Walter 11. Brooks of this
city. There does not appear at this
writing to he any substantial basis
for the report, and it is generally
doubted.
