THE MEANING OF MONROEISM
One of the most lucid and satisfactory
of the many definitions of the Monroe
doctrine, says the Globe-Democrat, is
that furbished by Prof. McMaster, the
well-known American historian. He
draws an analogy between this doctrine
and other declarations which our coun
try had previously made, Buch as that
government derives its power from the
consent of the governed, etc. These
declarations were once denied and con
demned, but they are now accepted, and
the Monroe doctrine rightly stands with
them The immediate impetus of Presi
dent Monroe's declaration was England's
opposition of the Holy alliance, but it Was
not intended eimply for that occasion.
It was the expression of a genet al and
continuous policy with regard to Eu
ropean interference in the affairs of the
new world. The doctrine of non-intervention,
which declared that no govern
ment in Europe should be allowed in
any way to control the destinies of the
republics on this side of the Atlantic,
was perfectly plain and rested npon the
- same basis as the Declaration of Inde
pendence, to-wit: the necessity of de
fending republicanism on this continent
against the attacks and machinations of
European nations. ' That was what it
meant then, and that is what it means
now. It has not forfeited its vitality or
its applicability with the lapse of years,
bat is etill a living and very important
part of our policy of self protection.
As for England's contention that terri
tory once settled by her subjects belongs
to her, even if the boundary line be dis
putable, Prof. McMaster declares it to be
illogical and inequitable, and shows that
she has not herself insisted . upon if in
previous and similar instances. He
points out that in the caee of Maine,
England had declared that the . water
shed 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 Ore
gon, the settlement of her subjects in
the disputed territory was asserted as
her right to said territory; but she re
ceded from that position, if not entirely,
at least to an extent that implied its
practical relinquishment. These condi
tions both obtain in the Venezuelan con
troversy. That is to say, England seeks
' in the first place to extend a boundary
according to her own interests and
wishes, as in the case of Maine; and !'
that will not answer, then she claims
that the disputed territory is hers on the
ground that it is occupied by her 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 doc
trine when it was originally promul
gated, and it is just as good and timely
under present circumstances, not in a
narrow interpretation, but in its broadest
Bense.
ably by the public land committee. The
bill,, which is an important one .to the
people of this section, provides for the
refunding to the settlers within forfeited
railroad grants of all more than $1.25 per
are, paid by those who settled on even
numbered sections, and who paid the
double minimum price. The fact that
the railroads were not built as antici
pated, made these lands no more valu
able than other sections and the pro
posed refunding would be a simple act
of justice to those settlers who paid the
double price, thinking that the expected
construction of the roads would jastify
it. The bill, it is thought,will elicit oppo
sition in the senate, but its passage is no
less deserved.
Senator Mitchell has succeeded in get

every means to obtain a showing of their

under the application of the rale for
