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.

and Mr. K. Lindgren, John's brother, feels
very grateful for the interest he took in the

of the remains to their place of burial. Mr.

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."
