VENEZUELA QUESTION UP
Discussed by the Current Topic Olnb Last
Evening.
ENGLAND AND AMERICA BOTH REPRESENTED
Dr. II ) Ion DcxcriticH ( lie General For
eign Policy of ( Sri-nt llrltnln
Siu > th nnd KHnntrlck
on Monroe Doctrine.
There was a largo attendance at the meet
ing of tbo Current Topic club last evening In
the Young Men's Christian association hall.
It was the first meeting of the new session ,
and was presided over by Thomas Kllpat-
rlck. The subject for discussion was the
Venezuela question ,
Dr. Dyles , an Englishman , gave a brief
sketch of the general foreign policy of Eng
land. Ho said that whatever ho might say
must not be construed as an act of friendli
ness toward Lord Salisbury. He thought Sal-
Isburk was a perfect brute , and cited acts
of the premier to support his opinion.
As an Englishman , he believed that , tak
ing English colonization as a whole , It
proved Hoelf a great benefit to the world.
Ho said that the effect of English coloniza
tion In South Africa had been to clvlllza and
christianize great numbers of heathens. He-
llevcrs In England's foreign policy were not
necessarily jlngolsts. He denounced the jingo
party. Its policy of grab and greed was
far from bslng the sentiment of the nation.
It was very easy to say that England should
KO to Armenia to stop the outrages there ,
but to do that was a very different and an
extremely dllllcult thing. According to the
Berlin treaty , which he said was a most
scandalous Instrument , England could not
pass the Dardanelles without the consent
of France , Russia , Austria , Italy and Ger
many. To act rashly meant to precipitate
a horrible war throughout Europe.
The llb&ral party , of which he was a mem
ber , had always been In sympathy with Rus
sia. If only the Ilbsral and the tory parties
could agrcs to allow Ruwla to occupy Con
stantinople , all would go well. England
could then promote Christianity In the east
without Interruption.
Dr. Uylw eald he was In sympathy with
the Monroe doctrine , but thought that It
was a fair- question for argument whether or
not It applied to the Venezuela question.
Ho thought that this was the position of
the greater part of the English reople. He
sold the great danger to the United Statss
was that If It pushed the Monroe doctrine
too far It 'Would bo compelled to support a
standing army , and this , ho declared.was one
of the greatest curses that could befall any
nation.
C. J. Smyth dcfcndffd President Cleve
land's attitude In reference to the Vene
zuelan question. He first traced the his
tory of the Monroe doctrine and described
what It was nnd what part It had played
In the nation's history. He said that Eng
land had approved the Instrument in 1823 ,
as was shov. n by documents In the pos
session of the Department of State , and
that Lord Salisbury could now frown upon
it only with poor graco. In 1SGI Secretary
Sewnrd Informed Franco that It had a per
fect right to collect any debt against Mexico ,
or any other country on this hemlsphoreT
but that tha United States would regard
ns unfriendly any unjust encroachment be
yond proper redress. Again In lflo ho told
I ranee that It could not maintain a standIng -
Ing , army In Mexico without Incurring the
enmity of this country. The size , of the
country offended by European powers made

United States Bought to maintain. It did

1814 , .but was 'not recognized until 1840. In
the meantime England encroached < en the
territory of the little republic-to an extent

uuiy unEianu might Ue right in claiming
this ground. 'All President Cleveland de

termlno the true boundary line. The popu

down to Venezuela , establish the boundary

to Mr.

eral members of the club participated In the
discussion and the question
was argued pro
and con. Mr. Kllpatrlck brought the I m
i" a CT w"h a tlmey | lcvl v of the
debate and
an expression of his own views
on the matter. Ho said' that , although an
ardent admirer of Grover Cleveland , whom
ho considered the greatest American Tlnco
Lincoln , he thought the president had made
the greatest .mlstnko of his llfo when ho
issued his message on the Venezuela
quest -
t on. Ho deprecated war between two Chrl.i-
tlaii nations and thought that the whole
dispute was duo to an cxten lon of the
Monroe doctrine rather than to any ex
tension of territory on the part of England.

The South Side
Improvement club met at
1015 South Eleventh street lust night , os
tensibly to consider the regular business of
the club , but In reality for the purporo of
propelling- few councllmanic booms. - At
loat that was the purpose of ssvcral gentle
men present , but as it appeared that more
than one candidate Imd his friends out In
fcrco , no one was ready to make a break , and
the meeting adjourned without taklne any
action relative to candidates.
The committee on the Thirteenth street
boulevard reported progress and was given
further time , and then PeteRacli suc-
get'tcd that while tlfo club
was not a politic- ]
organization , there was one subject which
was Jut now of paramount Interest to the
Flr t ward. That waa tlio sjlectlon of two mem
bers of the city council to nil the vacancies
recently created. Morris Morrloon , John
Powers , Ike Hawaii and half a dozen others
nude speeches In which tao alleged scheme
to deprive the ward
of one councilman was
vigorously condemned. It was broadly declared
clared and roundly applauded that any
councilman who voted for any outside man
wouldn't get enough otos to excuse hlu can
didacy the next time ho came up for
olilce , and a rcaolutlen was Jlnally adopted , pjt-

THEY WANT TO HELP DAVIS
Omaha Colored Pcoplo Not Satisfied with
Result of His Trial ,
DESIRE CASE TAKEN TO SUPREME COURT
Committee Appointed to Solicit
FiiiidN Hftort to Trnnnfer Sam
I'M-IIP from Penitentiary to
Innniic
At a mass meeting of colored people held
last night In the chapel of tbo church of
St. Philip the Deacon , at 1119 North Twenty-
first street , A movement was started to as
sist In the effort to raise sufficient means to
carry to the supreme court the case of
Qeorgo Washington Davis , the negro re
cently sentenced by the district court of Lan
caster county to twenty years In the pen
itentiary for the wrcclc'ng of a Rock Island
train near Lincoln , In the tall of 1894. The
name meeting decided to ralact a sufficient
amount of money to present to tha supreme
court the condition of Sam Payne , who wns
convicted of the murder of Maud Rubel , and
sentenced to llfo Imprisonment by the court
of this district , and who Is now alleged to
bo Insane. The effort will be made to obtain
cither the- removal of Payne to the Insane
asylum , or to obtain a new trial on the
ground of Insanity.
In tlio case of Davis the following resolu
tion was reported to the meeting by a com
mittee and was unantmqusly adopted :
AVhcreas , One George W. Davis , charged
with wrecking a passenger train on the
Rock Island railroad In December , 1894 , has
been sentenced to a term of twenty years
In the slate penitentiary on Insufllclent and
circumstantial evidence and has been de
nied a new trial by the district court of
Lancaster county , Judge Holmes presiding ;
and Whcrcap , Additional evidence can bo nd-
iJuced In the form of sworn affidavits signed
by reputable citizens , which , If true , would
clearly establish the Innocence of the said
George W. Davis. Be It therefore
Resolved , That we , the cltrzons of Dotig.ns
county In mass meeting assembled , con
demn the action of the court In refusing n
new trial to the said George W. Davis nnd do
hereby pledge ourselves to co-operate with
the attorneys of the said George W. Davis
and tlio citizens of Lancaster county In
their efforts to appeal the case to the su-
pietnc court , and we do 'further pledge our
moral aiid financial support to the end that
Justice may be meted out to the accused.
Upon the adoption of the resolutions e
motion was passed to appoint an executive
committee to take charge of the matter.
The committee is composed of Mrs. T. P.
Mahammltt , Rev. John A. Williams , 0. F.
Franklin , M. F. Singleton , M , L. Wilson and
J. W. Long. The committee Is empowereu
to ask the churches and social , fraternal
and charitable clubs and societies to con
tribute funds In aid of the object and to
solicit aid for the purpose of bringing the casu
of Sam Payne to the attention of the supreme
premo court , It appearing to bo the unani
mous sentiment that the man was Innocent
and ought at least to be removed to the
Intano asylum.
The meeting was called under the ausplc e
of the Afro-American league and was called
to ordsr by the chairman , Dr. W. H. Stephen-
son. Dr. Stephenson briefly announced the
object of tlio meeting. G. F. Franklin gave
an account of the crime with which Davis
was charged and of Its progress In the court ,
ending In the sentence of Davis to the penitentiary
'
tentiary after three trials 'had been helu.
He argued that the sentiment of the people
was that Divls was Inrioscnt of the crime ana
was simply used as a scapegoat. By dis
covering tome one who could be held re-
tponslblc for the crime , he said that the
railroad would escape damage suitswhlcli
could be brought by the heirs of those klllea
In the wreck. He assorted that Divls was
a poor man and could not contend against'
the Influence and money of a corporation
like the railroad , and that therefore the
colorsd men of this vicinity should take
the necessary steps to raise enough money ,
approximately $500 , to carry the. case to the
supreme court.
While th ; assistance of Davis wns the osten
sible object of the meeting , during the course
of the proceedings' the question of aiding
Sam Payne came up. It was hold that this
ttruck nearer home , as It was very possible
that the heirs of the killed In the wreck
.would see that the Davis caso. would be
carried higher In order that they might be iis
a position to bring civil damage mlts against
the conipany. The sentiment was tliat Payne
was innocent of killing the Rubel girl , but
that through Ignorance and a weak mind
he had convicted himself. In view of thcai
facts It was decided to tak. ' steps to brlnf ;
ths case to the attention of the supreme
court. The cost was estimated at $50.
Mrs. T. P. Mahammltt spoke as n member
of the Woman's club and stated that that
boJy was willing to assist In the matters
as teen as It was discovered , what stops
the colored people Intended to talcs. Among
others who spoke were E. II. Hall , V. B.

tiiKO of by some nmmifnetnrers since the recent slight mlvnnco In

would make you believe our shoes nro made JUST AS GOOD as for
merly we will not allow the manufacturer to slight a shoo In order
that we can mnke a few cents more prollt on It. This IS NOT OUH
WAY. We have established a reputation In our shoe business the
