I1EI.KN8, OBKIiON, JAN. SI. TTK MEANING OF MQNROEISX. One of the moot lucid and gatisfuo- tor; of the many definitions of the Munroe doctrine is tbat furnished by Prof. McMaster, tha wcllk.iown Amnr- ican historian. He draws an analogy tietwocn this doctrine and otber declar ations which our country had previous ly made, such aa that government de rive its power from the consent of the goTerned, ftc. These declarations were once denied and condemned, but they are now accepted, and the Monroe doc trine rightly stands with them. The ' immediate impetus of Piesident Mon roe's declaration was England's oppo sition to the Holy Alliance, but it was not iutended simply for that occasion. It was the expression of a general and continuous policy with regard to Euro pean interference in the affairs of the New World. The doctrine of non-intervention, which declared that no government in Europe should be al lowed in any way to control the desti nies of the republics ou this aide of ihe Atlantic, was perfectly plain and rented upon the same basis as the dec- j laration of independence, to-wit : the necessity of defending republicanism oa this continent against the attacks and machinations of European oa-j lions. That is what it meant then, and that is what it means now. It has not forfeited its vitality or its applica bility with the lapse of years, but is still a living and very important part I our policy of self-protection. As for England's contention that ter ritory once settled by ber subjects be longs to ber, even if the boundary line be disputed, Prof. McMasler declares it to be the illogical and inequitable, and shows that she has not herself in sisted upon it in previous and similar instances. lie points o'lt in the case of Mniue, England had declared that the watershed between the Atlantic and the St. Lawrence should be the boundary, and though a watershed is comparatively easy to find, she located it away down in the Maine lakes; but she subsequently withdrew the claim. In the case of Oregon the settlement of ber subjects in the disputed terri tory was asserted as ber right to said territory; but she receded from tbat position, if not entirely, at least to an extent that implied its practical relin quishment. These conditions both obtain in the Venezuela controversey. Tbat is to say, England seeks in the first place to extend a boundary ac cording to her own interests and wish es, as in the case of Maine; and if that will not answer, thn she claim that the disputed territory is hers on the ground that it is occupied by ber sub jects, as in the case of Oregon. The Monroe doctrine is a protest against claims of that kind on this hemisphere, and a warning that any attempt to en force them will be resisted by the United States. It was a good and timely doctrine when it was originally promulgatad, and it is just as good and timely under present circum stances, not in a narrow interpretation, but in its broadest sense. Incident to (lie present transition stago of national politics, but not much oan reasonably be expected of them, con- sidering their lack of sufficient votes to carry out their purposes. ' They are responsible for their own actions, but not for those of the opposing element that are strong enough in the aggre- gate to defeat anything that they pro pose, it will be well for all good mti iei to keep this fact in mind, so that l hey may make no mistake in placing where it rightfully belongs all blani tor the failure of the senate, as now constituted, to perform its proper ser vice as a legislative body. All persons desiring to subscribe for bonds oi the new $100,000,000 issue to be made bv the government can obtain all necessary information by calling on Mr. W. II. Dolman; who has the required blanks for bids. It ia proposed to make this a "popular loan" by the people of the United States subscribing the entire amount The bonds are dated February I, le'Jo, and mature iu thirty years from that date, bearing 4 per cent interest. They are in denominations of $50, but any multiple of that sum can be purchased and are made payable at the treasury al Washington, 1). (J., or at any sub treasury of the United States, the gov emment reserving the right to reject any and all bids. These bonds are backed by the credit of the govern ment, and, though the interest is low, it is not likely that any of them will be sold as low as their face valuo. It is a safe investment for any one hav ing funds with which to purchase, be cause they will always be saleable at not less than their face. Mr. Dolman expects to invest to tome extent the new issue of bonds, and if th sentiment expressed by him was uni versal all over the United States it would not be necessary to so abroad to sell American securities. REPUBLICAN VOTE OF TEE SENATE. The reorganization of the senate committees in such a way as to give the republicans control of their pro ceedings does not mean tint the con trol of the senate itself has passed into the same hands. I here is not are- publican majority in that body at pres ent, but only a plurality. The reor ganization of the committees was a necessity, and the apparent advantage gained by the republicans in the mat ter was due to the non-action of five nut of the six populists who hold the balance of power. It is not possible for the republican plurality to pass any measure! by its own voles alone; and on all questions of importance, particularly such as relate to the reve nue problem, it will be antagonized by the combined democratic and populist elements. Therefore, there can be no such thiug as republican responsibil ity for the actions of the senate, and all talk to that effect by democratic newspapers and politicians is nncandid and misleading. The situation is a mixed one, and the control ol the com mittees does not carry with it the power of legislation on republican party lines. There is no assurance that any bill formulated according to republican doctrines and policies can be passed ; aud when such bills are presented and dofeated, the country will understand tbat the fault lies in a predominance of anti-republican members. This unfortunate condition will not last in neb longer. . The time is closely approaching when there will be a clear majority of repubucau senators and they will not hesitate to assume all re sponsibility, and to so shape legisla tion as to make th principles of their parly effective. Meanwhile the peo ple should be patient. The work of restoring the republican party to full control of the Government has not been finished. It is in steady and en couraging progress, with no doubt about the ultimate result, but there is Mill a period of wailing to pass through before the country can rejoice over the return of the good times that prevailed when the democratic party was out of power. The republicans in the-senate will do all they can, of course, to promote the prosperity and welfare of All classes, and to mitigate the eyils Thb tax levy has been fixed by the county court at 27 mills. This is one mill higher than last year, but owing to property values being lower for lsyo than for the previous year, gen erally speaking, the amount of tax to be paid on a particular piece of prop erty will be lessened because oi the decreased assessed valuation. property had been assessed at the same valuation in 1895 that it was in 1894 the levy would be much lower than it was last year; consequently a high assessed valuation means a low levy, and vice versa. It must not be forgotten, however, tbat although the levy for all purposes is one mill in ex cess of last year, the levy for county purposes is lower, the difference being made up by an inorease of 1 8-10 mills in the state levy over last year. Thb attempt of certain Portland legislators and politicians to bave an extra session of the legislature called by the governor seems to have been doomed from the beginning. Public sentiment from all parts of the state came to the peoples' rescue, and at this late date it is hardly" probable that the governor will take any hand in such proceeding. The state's chief executive evidently realizes his author ity to convene the legislature in extra ordinary session, but here his author ity ends ; the legislature would uso its own pleasure as to whether it would carry out the programme for which it was called together. With the excep tion of a very few, all members of the legislature and the newspapers outside of Portland are opposed to an extra session. CLAT6KANIE. E. Hughes is a visitor at Portland this weea. A. B. Gordan bas bis hand tied up on ac count or a sawtooth wound. Farmer J. D. Nelson was in town this week with some very fine apples for mar ket. Harry Syverson and wife drove over from Lower Bearer in a waeon this week to do same shopping. Harry Nichols has been trying to get the best of an attack of malarial fever, and has good prospects oi success. Henry Kratz spent most of last week in Portland. It is said he bad rather goto Portland now to buv roods than any place ne couia imna oi. raructuars later. The mailcarrier and his assistant both being temporarily disabled this week, Clin ton names came to tneir rescue ana iook the mail to Maygers on Wednesday. Frank Merrill has been widening the street al tne end of his hotel by the add! tion of a sidewalk that proves a very great convenience at that place, where tbe street waa ratner narrow to te entirely sale. W. V. Hiatt. of "the barn." beyond Mist. was in town Monday and took the steamer that evening for the metropolis, where be expects to undergo inspection at govern ment expense, in a matter of pension. If the city authorities could strain a point and get that bridge below the Kivemew hotel joined to the old one so teams could go over it tney would corner a lasting ben efit to many travelers. We understand a meeting was beld in the church Tuesday evening for the organi zation of a musical society with the expect ation of giving a cantata in the near future. An organization was effected, starting out witn aoout iwenty-nve niemoers. Nordby. the energetic purser of the steamer Shaver, was fishing in the Clats kanie last Monday. He had a fine salmon trout to take to the steamer, and he caught it, of course, casper Kobersteln had better luck on Tuesday and brought in a fine string of fish. Fosters inform ns that another masquer ade ball is to be given next month under the auspices of the athletic club. It is de signed to leach athletics of a peculiar order. Most athletic exercises are not indulged in without damage over an hour at a time. The posters don't say how long this will last. Charley Lindgren bronpbt over Mr. Mer ton and his sister, Edith Lindgren, last Friday, on their return to Portland after being in attendance at the funeral of John Lindgren, at Mist. Mr. Morton took charge of the remains at the bospital and bad them shipped on the steamer for this place, and Mr. K. Lindgren, John's brother, feels very grateful for the interest he took in the matter, in addition to his personal escort of the remains to their place of burial. Mr. Merton. we believe, is engaged with Flesch- ner at Mayer, or Portland. The Chief last week tried in a couple of articles to perpetrate a joke, mainly on the principal of our schools. Did you notice the flaming headlines over one of the local articles? It is currently believed that the editor really wrote that article himself, and the one from the correspondent, who was not there, in spite of the signature. How they did startle us and excite our sympathy because there was no ice handy to apply to the writers' heads. The professor can take bis own part. He is a sober man and can tell the truth. Knowing tbee things, peo ple here are not slow in deciding in what statements to place confidence. His unex pectedly meeting a person at night, under the circumstances that he did, excited him somewhat, but to intimate that bis excite ment oaused a misstatement sounds too much here as though the writers knew how it would be with themselves nnder similar circumstances. WAR SCARE PASSING AWAY Arbitration in the Venezuela Boundary Dispute. English Newspapers Comment Far orably Upon Chamberlain's Position in the Matter. Lokcom. Jan. 88. The Chronicle, lu an editorial on Colonial Secretary Chamber lain's statement in th Venezuela speech at Birmingham, Saturday, says: "We must regard this statement as x pressing th deliberate conclusions of the government, and it seem to render arbi tration in some form or otber unavoidable, An article in another part of th Chron icle declares all the recent ovldenc. of re- approach men t between England and Amer ica leave the essential part of the matter untouched. It adds: The effects of Ihe increase of mutual kindliness are being allowed to evaporate, aud while from every point of Europe horizon grim anxiety and possible peril confront us, the golden momenta for per manent peace with America are slipping by. It the. government, of which Mr, Chamberlain is so brilliantly successful member, would forget minor matters and boldly conclude an arbitration treaty with America, the spectacle Mr. Chamberlain pictured of the two peoples rescuing Ar menia, instead of being an ideal, might ba con: e within a short time a world-shakiii, fact." An editorial in the Times on th Amer ican attitude toward Armenia, says: -It is not to be expected that America will so far depart from the sagacious prin ciples of Washington's farewell message as to draw the sword in behalf of the Armen ians. But the American people are the only people, except ourselves, not perhaps wholly incapable of making war in behalf of the oppressed without regard to national interests." , The Times, in another article, says: "It seems unlikely tbat Kusaia bas done more than establish good relations with Turkey on an understanding that she shall be no party to otber than platonic remonstrances ovsr the Armenian grievances." The Standard, in an editorial, thinks Mr. Chamberlain's views of American feeling are rather optimistic It says: " Wa may be pretty sure that, if th United States wanted to pick a quarrel with us, they would soon devise soma interpre tation of the Monro doctrine that would hare the desired effect. Our best guarantee of peace Is the consciousness in both coun tries of th horrible misery and losses which a confiic t would involve." Member of Parliament Talks. St. Lovis, Jan: 26. "The fitting-out of the flying sqnadron waa merely to show Europe that England was prepared to de fend her corner against the nations. 1 do not think any one in Great Britain ever thought the squadron was placed in action to be used against the United States." This waa the statement of Sir Wheelman Pearson. M. P., from Colchester, Essex county, England, at the Southern hotel today. Sir Wheelman, who has contracts with the Mexican government for the con struction of th harbor at Vera Cruz, is en route there, accompanied by Lady Pear son. He added: "When we first heard of your Monroe doctrine declaration, we thought you had gone crazy. You gave us a terrible shock for a few days, for we thought, from the amount of jingoism aroused, tbat this country would become so unruly that grave complications would follow. Eng land has not appointed a commission to consider the dispnte, and 1 do not think this will be done till after Lord Salisbury bas made the correspondence in the matter pnblic by sending it to parliament. Then if the foreign office has taken a wrong posi tion, it will be rebuked. If the people think the position a proper one, however, the position of th foreign office will be upheld. "There is no doubt that England recog nizes the Monroe doctrine in us broad lense. and is willing to abide by it on all occasions except this one. This disputed territory has been claimed by Great Britain for years, and bas been ruled by it A large number of the inhabitants of the place consider themselves British subjects and the dispute ia merely over the boun dary : surely not a sufficient cause for war, '8ince this trouble has arisen there is a growing sentiment in England in favor of a permanent International commission, to which all disputes Could be referred at their inception, and they would be settled with out having the countries stirred up over them. The time will come when such a board will he found necessary, and I hope to see the agreement speedily arrived at." To Dlylde Turkey. Lokdok, Jan. 28. Th Daily News this uoming prints a dispatch from Vienna as serting that news has been received there from Constantinople and Sebastopol, which agrees that Russia has a fleet lying at Se bastopol and at Odessa, and that the Cau casian armies of Russia are being concen trated npon the Armenian frontiers in readiness to move next spring to realize the Jans of Peter the Great for tbe partition of Turkey between tbe powers, Russia tak ing Armenia and Constantinople, France taking Syria and Palestine and England taking Egypt and the eastern shores of tbe Persian gulf, the remainder of the Turkish empire to be divided among the otber powers. Tbe Pally News also has a dis patch from Sebastopol, which records the secret preparations going forward there. of shipping men and armaments for a vol unteer fleet. It is the general belief, this dispatch affirms, that these preparations foreshadow some action In the spring. Core tar Headache.
