War goes merrily on in Venezuela San Carlos, the Weak, is "silenced" by Germany, the Strong. The proud war vessels of the Europear emper or have annihilated the forts and navy of an American power: the flag that flies at the German s mast had is a flag of defiance, to the principles embodied in the Monroe doctrine. Germany commits these outrages cn this American nation, under the ruse of resenting an insult. She has successfully carried out her ruse to the entire satisfartion of her European allies. She has wan tonly stamped on the doctrine that has been defended by the United States for a century. She has done it in such an outspoken, boastful manner that it becomes a national in sult. humiliating in the extreme. In the first place. Germany and Gerts an subjects aggravated the riot end rebellion in Venezuela by unin- ,-ited meddling in affairs that could not concern them. Venezuelan rail- oads have largely been built by Ger man capital, under contracts so un reasonably sever® that Venezuela 'mds it impossible to fulfil all their provisions. As a forfeiture, for non-compliance with these stringent provisions, the German subjects demanded vast grants of land in the richest portion of the government—these grants amounting to more than the entire coat of the railroads. Venezuela offered to arbitrate the < lairr.s; she was willing to pay her just debts; she was in the midst of a revolution and could ill afford to invite trouble from without. The German subjects took sides in the revolution, instigated the rioters and sought to overthrow the last vestige of order in that government in hopes of being able to seize and hold some of the moat valuable concessions of land, as pay for their services and as a foothold they had long sought to acquire. They were captured while in arms against the government. and then It was that Germany hatched np her theory of an insult., and an nihilated the navy of Venezuela For two months the German war ves sels have hovered over the Venezue lan coasts, awaiting the shadow of an excuse to bombard the few re maining forts. It is a studied campaign of con quest. by Germany. She seeks to en force the demands of a few German capitalists. when these demands would deliver into the hands of Ger many the choicest portion of Vene- zuelan territory. It is pure, unadulterated studied, wilful, lustful conquest. COUNTRY DEVELOPMENT. The long, tedious road cases tried in the courts at great expense and often with most unpleasant conse quences in the neighborhood, remind all travelers of wagon roads, that the laws covering the location, construc tion and maintenance of roads are in sufficient for a growing country. As the county is more densely pop ulated, the avenues of communication - highways, telephones, mail routes and telegraph lines—must increase in number and efficiency. Where individual rights stand in the way of development, it places the county at the mercy of personal In- t»reat_ Every man wants the full value of his property, when he sells it, and is entitled to this same value when the property is taken for the public good. But it is an indisputable fact that a land-owner will ask a higher price for land for the construction of a road than when selling it at private sale. It seems to be a universal be lief that county funds are plentiful and that the -ounty should pay more for what it buys than an individual. As long as this spirit prevails, as long as men claim more damages for improvements that are made In the public interest than the same proper ty would bring at private sale, coun try development will be retarded. AGAINST THE PIERCE LAW. The Union Republican, comment ing upon the bill to abolish the office of county recorder of Union county, says: The work in the county re corder’s office keeps two persons con stantly at work and is more than self-supporting. More money is taken in than is required to pay the salaries of the officers, and yet a bill lias been introduced jn the legislature to abolish the office and Jet the work be done by the county clerk. The county clerk's office is already over crowded with work, and if the change ! of California, although he is at Wash ington, ludeed.
