A special cablegram to tbe Sun from Caraoai last nigbt summarizes tbe ntn ation at follows t Veneiaela now real izea tbat ibe must yield to tnperior toroei abe looks tor settlement lo Ibe arbitration proposal of President Css tro, transmitted to Great Britain and Germany tbrongb tbe United Btate'i no answer to tbis bus yet been received) if arbitration is accepted President Castro will seek to bare United (States Minister Bowen appointed arbitrator. A Washington dispatch goes farther tbsn tbis and states that President Css tro has (riven Minister Bowen full powers to i ffect a settlement with Great Britain, Germany and Italy. It is be liered in Washington tbat tbe three govercmeots will not eopsent to make arrangement with Mr. Bowen nnless some kind of a guarantee of payment by Veotzaela ean be given. A tug geited plan is to appoint a mixed eommission to receive all Ventzaelan eostoms taxes and take from these tbe smonnts dne tbe different nations. Litest advices from Berlin indioate tbat Germany is in a yielding mood, tbe ebange being largely brought about by public opinion in tbe United 8tates. Commodore Bobeder, tbe German commander in Vemzaelan waters, bas been instructed to use eztteme caution and to avoid acts of foroe nntil he receives further orders. Dispatches reoeived in Berlin from tbe United States represent tbat pnblio, feeling here is hostile to Germany, and that there is danger ot a rnpture it a severe oonrse toward Venezuela is continued. In the Anal settlement Germany not only seeks a money payment, but.de mands an apology for tbe attack on tbe German Legation at Caracas and otber outrages. The Biituh Cabinet met in London, but, it is believed, tailed to take final aoiion on arbitration. Britain is msk ing strenuons tffjrts to secure a guar sntee of payment from tbe United States. France served notice that any pro vision for settlement ot olaims must reoognlze tbe French claims, previously arranged for. Tbe House of Representatives at Washington passed the McCall resolu tion ea'ling upon the Secretary of 8tate for information touching any agreement or understanding between Great Britain and Germany on one band and tbe United States on tbe o.her, as to the nature, extent and pur pose of Ibe joint demonstrations against Venezuela, and particularly with ret erence to tbe oeoupation of Vtmzalan territory. Admiral Dewey's plan for tbe dislri botion Tf bis fleet daring tbe Christmas holidays, which bas been approved by tbe Navy Department, includes send ing tbe battleships Alabama. Kear sarge, Massachusetts and Iowa to Trinidad, iff tbe Venezuelan coast, and tbe Chioago, Newaik and Eagle to Coraoao. Higher ptioss in Wall street rtflsoted a more hopeful view of tbe Vrntzuelan situation. A lies State ot affairs. Tbe Washington staff correspondent of tbe Atlanta Journal reports a system of "blaokmail levy" by tbe Republican maobine in Georgia, which is thus de scribed: Tbe postoffioe department bas bad a secret service man tn Georgia, for the past few weeks obtaining evidence of a blaokmail levy, wbioh it is said, bas been systematically made tor years on country postmasters by members ot Ibe oonnty Republican committee, and it is understood bere tbat tbe detective has reoeived sufficient evidence to send a half dpzm or more men to tbe peni tentiary for tbe crime. Repieseotative Fleming, in whose distriot tbe deteotive secured the evi denoe, called at tbe postoffioe depart ment today to icquire what steps hat) been taken toward tbe prosecution of the alleged criminals, and he was in formed tbat the secret service man's leport bad not been tiled. As soon as it is Bled, and it is expected daily, tbe postmaster general will order criminal proceedings to begin in Gsorgia. I: seems that It has been tbe praotlce in tbe piat for all applicationa tor fourth olasa postmasters in Georgia to be sent to Walter Johnson, at .Atlanta. Be would in turn refer tbe application to tbe county committeemen, who are, in most instances, negroes. Certain ot these oommitteemc n would thereupon levy a blaokmail upon the applicant and bold him up for money, it is said, before they would give him tbeir endorsement, which was necessary to seoure tbe appointment. In many cases, it is alleged, tbe com mitteemen would continue lbs scheme after tbe appointment was made and thoB enjoy perpetual graft. When a postmaster made a kiok, it Is said they promptly preferred charges agaiost him and bad him tired, so that a more tractable viotim might be provided. It is, ot course, clear that Marshal Johnson knew nothing ot these prao liojs and he will no doubt lead in the proceedings which will land tbe grafters in tbe penitentiary. - Ooe of the viotims on whom the ex tortion had been tried appealed to Representativa Fleming, who laid the case before tbe postmaster general and saved the postmaster. The postmaster general is actively interested iq tbe movement to break op tbe blaokmail ers. Challenged by a Prince. By cable to the Obaarvar.

Birds of a feather flock by themselves when holidays are at band, for lbs suffi oieot reason tbat they can't help it, There are degrees in bacbelordom as exelnsivs as those of ths most fastidl one social sets or college trtternlties. Admission into this order nnder the ban is variously accomplished, eaob member conducting bis own initiation. Borne are fond ot expatiating on tbeir reasons for choosiDg a state ot tingle blessedness, when neither tbey nor any body else believe that It was a matter ot oboios with them at all, only their nnabasbsd vanity most needs have it so nominated in the bond. If tbe society ot bachelors were in tended as an order ot distinction which men deliberately and as a matter ot eboioe sought to join, it wonld be an aggregation of renegades wbioh no community wonld tolerate. It would eompel its own banishment, as inexor ably as did tbe Siberian exiles. Marriage is tbe only proper state ot man, and every man knows it. Not ooe out of a bondrsd, however, who accomplishes it is worthy of tbat bless edness. Indeed, tbe msjority .of tbem do not even conceive of its trus bless edness. I bolieve-that tbe one redeeming view to be taken of bachelors is tbat, after doing penance in single wretob edness for a sufficient time, and tbeir disabilities, whether ot ugliness, pov er'y, prior responsibilities, slighted sffeotions, or what not, removed, tbey would set preoioos store by'eonnubial bliss not dreamt of in tbe philosophy ot connubialities. But what a parlor of muflts tbey wonld be if assembled in stock for ao oeptanoe. Once labeled "rejected," preoious few ot those labels wonld be removed by feminine bands. Tbe most venturesome poker player would stay out of the game rather than rnn snob risk 1 Thus, out ot tbe mie&tness ot excep tional individuals, is made manifest nature's purpose ot eternal fitness in her general plan. But ot tbe degrees in baebelordoml Singleness of existence is on inclined plane extending from tbe summit of felicity to tbe slough of despond. With some the descent is accomplished with the celerity of shooting the chutes. These land in tbe mire ot suicide, or tbe oesspool ot misanthropy where tbey contract brain fever and imagine tbem selves women-haters and martyrs. Others unoonscionsly serve as wall flowers until they fide beyond endu rance and are bundled into a basket and dumped into tbe river of disap nniotmnnt, after the treatment of Jack Falstiff. O bers, still, desoend gradually and in oidtr, like passengers in a grip ear. They alight before tbe plnnge, walk decorously to tbeir apartments, array themselves in immaonlate linen and fashionable ooats, visit tonsorial par lors often, promenade the popular streets at proper hours, greeting and greeted, attend tbe plays and operas, dine Bumpluously at tbe oates, drive fast roadsters, imagine themselves the observed of all observers, inscribe on tbeir armorial bearing "Dolce Far Niente," and laugh at tbe world as tbe world goes by. But there is something in the atmos pbere of Christmas tbat brings a change over the spirit of tbeir dreams and unifies tbe whole bachelor fraternity into a band of lovers -not ot a par tioolar beiog; tbey have bad enough of tbat but luvets of the whole human family: lovers of birds and beasts, of flower and sbrub, of bare and sullen fields swept by tbe north wind's breath, of denuded groves whose sturdy ten ants defy tbe storm and out stretch their limbs like fixed, eternal oracles ot spring. fersonal concern, whether ot glad nees or gljom, fibes from tbe presence of tbeir memories, and, as beautiful visions of the past troop by, they would bang a garland ot roses on every door-bell and plaoe clusters ot rose mary over every grave. Greecsboro, N. C, Dec. 17, 1992 Child Laber la Factories. Commissioner tt Labor and Printing H. B. Varnerbas filed bis recommends tions to ths General Assembly witb Gov. Ayooek. The recommendations in full are as follows 1 1. Tbat a law be enacted providing tbat no obild nnder twelve years of age be permuted to work in any faotory, nnless a widowed mother or totally disabled father is dependent npon tbe labor of snch obild and has no other means of support; tbat no obild nnder tbe age of ten years be employed nnder any circumstances; that no child not ao employed be permitted to remain in any faotory, idle or at work in any eapaoity; tbat no child between the ages of twelve and fourteen years be permitted to work in any faotory nnless he or she can read and write. (The provision of the latter clause should be made effective at a stated tims, in order that ohildren between tbe ages of twelve and fourteen might have an opportunity to meet its requirements.) 2 That no child nnder fourteen yevsotage be permitted to work in at y fae'ory between the boars of 7 p. m and 6 a.m. . S That a law be enacted permitting sobool districts, townships or counties to adopt compulsory school laws by a ma jority vo'e ot the qualified voters of snob district, township or county, 4. That eleven boors shall consti tute ths msximum day's work in the State tor all manufacturing establish ments. 5 One great need ot this depart ment is more room. I would therefore reoommsnd tbat the "Ball ot Records" now In contemplation be constructed with the view of providing suitable offices for tbis department. We are now oeoopylng a seotlon ot tbe 8u preme Court bnilding designed for tbe use of tbe State Library and ot which It Is now sadly in need. 6. I would also recommend that chapter 251, laws of 1897, making tbe Commissioner ot Labor and Printing Inspector ot mines, eto., be repealed, or sufficient Appropriation made to carry oat Its provisions. It possible, a law should bt enacted providing a severe penalty npon ths father woo puts his ohildren la the factory and idles away his time in drinking and . creating dissensions among workers, and providing only tbe bare neeessitles ot lite out ot tbe hard-earned wages ot his children (hat he may hart the mora with wulob to gratify hit depraved appetites and passions. ; atepe the .

An unusually brilliant foreign eritle expressed tbe opinion some years sgo tbat the standard of personal morality in Amarisa is decidedly higher than in Eogland, tbat of commercial morality probably a little lower, and tbat of political morality decidedly lower. Whether or not all observers will tgree witb bis opinions as thus formulated, there oan be no question of tbe wide difference In 1 the stsndard of personal morality and tbe stsndard of polities! morality in tbis country. So generally is tbis diffarenee recognized that when tbe remark was made some yesrs sgo tbat a "public offioe is a pnblio trusi" it was seized npon and generally re oeated as being an idea deeidedly nsvel. Yet snob a statement is ons of tbe commonplace of personal morality. Tbe wide d ff jreooe in the standards ot personal morality and political mo rality in this eooutry is worthy of lbs most serious ooosideraiion. Tbe failure to earry ioto the poiitical life ot our nation tbe standard of personal moral ity of the individuals eomppslog it im plies something radically wrong either in the organisation or 10 tbe aims of society. It implies sitber tbat there are two etandardsof morality, and tbat tbe personal conscience of the individual has loftier ideals tbso tbe public con soienoe of organized society, or that tbe elements essential to tbe advancement of a race ot individuals sre more clearly recognized tban the elements essential to tbe advancement of organ:z-.d so oiety. "In the earliest developments of civilization," said an eminent ecooomUt some years sgo in discussing our stand ards ot political morality, "stress is chiefly laid on oourage, which can msiu tain antbority; in a later stage, greater importance is attached to tbe habit ot self-restraint which will submit to tbe authority of a general eode ot law; while, in a still later development, at leaBt equal prominenoe must be given to pub, ic spirit, wbiob will use fur a eolleetive or unselfish end ibe measures of authority bestowed on each indi vidual." This country bas passed from tbe first stage to tbe seoond, but bas not yet attained tbe third. Ia tbe develop log of tbe natural resources of tbis country, and in bringing tbe vast sress of territory under organized authority, all of tbe sterner qualities of the indi vidual were required. Tbis is now s part of tbe history of the country. A law-abiding spirit tbat will submit to ihe antbority of a general oode of law has been developed. Tbe third stage the development of an enlightened, on selfhb public spirit bas not yet been attained. It is because tbis stage bas not yet beo reaobed, and tbe elements essential to tbe advancement of organ ized society not clearly recognizsd, tbat snob a wide difference appears in tbe standards of personal and political morality of the country.

Baltimore Ban, Deotmber 17 Sous of our esteemed London con temporaries are expressing (he fear that Germany, for her own purposes, may Itsd Eog'and on to sn embroilment with tbs United Ststes in tbe Venezoe Iso affair. Borne of tbem deplore ihe 000 cert between Eogland and Germany and are of opinion that England ebould have pressed her own claim independ ently of tbat country. It is likely tbat all sucb fears are gronndlese; at least it is to be sincerely hoped that they sre. Eogland is peifeotly well aware of Ibe attitude ot tbe United States. Tbe Mon roe doctrine was enounced originally by President Monroe at the suggestion of tbe British Government, and we bave tbe assurance now of Lord Crsn borne, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs, speskiog in tbe House of Com moos 00 Monday, "that no country bas been more noxious tban Great Britain to assist tbe American Gov eminent to maintain tbe Monioe doctrine" When President Cleve land insisted, at the time of tbe contention over territory between Great Britain and Veu zuela, tbat tbe matter 10 rU', ate should be submitted to arbi tratiod and tbat England most not tt ie ooe foot ot tertitory nnless she bad proved ber title, Lord Salisbury, Ihe British Prime Minister, admitted thai Mr. Cleveland's position was a sound one. There bas never been a time, we believe, tbat Eogland refused to recog nizs Ibe Monroe doctriue and submit to ita limitation. It will be remembered, and Eogland is doubtless aware of the fact, that tbe Monroe doctrine gees farther tban a mere prohibition ot the acquision of territory. "We could not view," said President Monroe in his femons message to Congress in 1823, "any interposition for tbe purpose ot oppressing tbem the American gov ernment, or controlling in any other manner tueir destiny by any European power in any other light than as ttu manifestation of en unfriendly dispost lion toward tbe United States." Tbis does not mean tbat tbe United States will protect any South Amerioan republic from the logioal const qaeoces of a lefosal to keep its international obligations. But it does mean that tbe United States will watch with a jeal one eye tbe method pursued by Ea ropeao po vers in tbe collection of debts or tbe enforcement of obligations. It tbis method should involve any perms nent acquisition of territory or become nnduly oppressive, then it might be expected that our Government would remonstrate. Tbe Btitieh (iovernmeol understands Ibis perfectly, and we may feel assured tbat tbe men in charge ol its poiioies will do nothing to precipi late a collision. War between tbe two great Eoglisb-speaking nations of tbe eanb would be snob a calamity to civi lization that it is impossible to oootem plate it as possible. Eaob is the other's beat customer. Without tbe Hjoglish market for our wheat and cotton our farmers wonld be deprived ot an inpor tant source of revenue. Without our trade Eogland would be cut eff from ber chief supply of bread and tbe chief source of raw material for tbe factories which employ a great part of her popu lation. And next in importance to our trade wilb England is our trade with Ger many. The Uoited States is bound to that ooontry by tbe strongest ties ot friendship and blood, and a very large proportion of onr best and moat patriotic oil z ins look back to Germany as Iheit fatberiand and the heme of their kins folk. War is ihe devil's wotk, and nai between tbe Uuited States and titbit Eogland or Germany would not only be wicked, but would be inoonoeivable folly as well. Mine but madmen would provoke it, and fortunately tbe control ot noue cf tbe great powers concerned is iq the hands of madmen. War is a bad way at best of settling interna tional disputes. Tbe pen of arbitra lion is mightier than tbe sword of force. There is no sound reason for fearing that we shall be unable to maintain the integrity of tbe Monroe dootrine with out otber agencies tban tbosi of dip lomaey and friendly suggestion. Ibid, December 17, news colnmna. I NBW EFFORTS AT PEACtt BUT WITH OUT SUCCESS. Secretary Hay is surprised tbat Great Britain and Germany have not answer ed tbe arbitration proposal of President Castro, transmitted through tbe State Department at Washington. He sent cablegrams yesterday to Ujited States Ambassadors Choate, in London, and Tower, in Berlin, directing them to bring the question anew to tbe alien tion of the two Governments and press for a epeedy reply. The British Foreign Office inquired of Secretary Hay if the United States was willing to guarantee tbe f nlnllmeot of Venezuela's pledges. A negative answer was given. Without suob s guarantee Great Biltaiu is not disposed to aooept arbitration. Germany is in tbe same attitude. The Italian Ambassador, Senor des Planches, called on Mr Hay and gave notice that Italy had jsined tbe allies in pressing their claims against Vene zuela, but that she aeks no permanent occupation of territory. He asked that United States Minister Bowen repre sent tbe interests of Italy at Caracas. Tbis will be granted, if agreeable to Venezuela. Tbe Uoited States Senate discussed in secret session tbe situation in Vent z uela. It was generally agreed tbat thus far the Monroe dootrine has not been violated, but it was deemed advisable to maintain an attitude ot watobtul ness. Senator Wm. M. Stewart, of Nevada, advised a strengthening of oosst fortifications. In view ot tbe situation tbe Navy Department decided to issue definite orders to Admiral Dewey for tbe move msnts of each ot bis vessels during the Christmas holidays, instead ot giving tbe Admiral, as bad been planned, a free hand in thie arrangement. The fleet will be kept within easy range of tbe Venezuelan coast. Britub and German ships have ap Geared off the Venezuelan island of largarita, which is said to havs been desired last year by Germany as a coal ing statiod. Veoesuela apologizsd for tbe arrest ot tbe aoting Coosul ot Belgium at Caracas. Tbs sure at Preeident Cas tro's espital is subsiding and British and German residents art resuming business.
