The Monroe dootrine has tarnished
the text for political harangues and
" the bunoombe for jingo statesmen for competitor which practigally demon
ia lae Dalles, and has been -a creat
actor in reducing freight rates and
miking this place the great shipping
point of E tsiern Oregon. It has been
of inestimable benefit to the merchants
of this city and to those of interior
towns dependant on The Dalles for
shipping facilities and has proved a
many years, bat it has never been car
ried oat, although the opportunity has
been presented on different occasion.
" When the last Napoleon.whona Viotor
, Hugo called Napoleon le petit, placed
Maximilian on the throne of Mexico
k- and demolished the republic, there was
a mild protest from Washington; but
it did not meet with suoh a determined
condemnation from the state depart
ment aa President Monroe intended
such acts should when he enunciated
his oelebrated dootrine. Patriotic
Mexicans restored the repnblio and
executed the sentence of death on the
emperor as the enemy of the best in
terests of the country, without any
outside aid. There have been other
instances in whiah the United States
could have enforced the doctrine; but,
aside from furnishing the substance
' for blatant orations.it has received but
little attention. The encroachments
that Great Britain has made in Vene
zuela, and the demand for arbitration
by the South American republic, may
furnish the emergency for the present
administration to emphasize its adher
ence to the prinoiple laid down.
Whether or not this annexation of
Venezuelan territory has been done
by the local authorities of British
Gaana the home government must be
held respousible.and the United States
should not allow this little country to
be swallowed by the great European
empire without a determined protest.
The boundary line was first established
in 1648 by the Spanish and Duicb,
and in 1810, when the independence
of the couatry was acknowledged, was
. affirmed by Spain. When Greet
Britain, in 1814, acquired her rights
from the Datcb.the old treaty line" was
agreed on by the twa contracting par
ties.' Sinoa then large outlying tracts
have been annexed, until the little re
public has become thoroughly aroused
as to her rights. She has requested
that arbitration settle the dispute, and
to this Great Britain has not given
her consent The United States con
gress, at its recent session, passed s
joint resolution that the matter be de
cided by a court of arbitration, and
the services of . tbt executive has been
offered.
It is yet premature to take any de
cided action, and the spirit of fairness
which the British government has
evinced of lata years gives hopes of an
amicable settlement. If this is not
done, and the claims of Great Britain
are attempted to be carried into t-ff ct by
ber navy, the Monroe doctrine should he
enforced strictly. The western conti
nent should be republican, and in time
will-be: bat in the meantime weak na
tions should not be allowed to suffer I Oiroulars have been s nt out by
froin the aggressions of powerful mon- I Secretary H. L. Wells, of tho state
Republican clubs, for a convention of
strated the advantage of an open river
to the produces of the northwest. Tbe
stock was subscr'bed bythe people
merchants, farmers and tneohanios
with thedistmst understanding that the
company thus formed should be a regn
lator of the rates of transportation to
seaboard for the benefit of the comma
nitiea tributary to Tbe Dalles in com
parison with the high prices charted
by the railroad monopoly. It was to
be a solution of the problem of water
transportation as contradistinguished
with rail carriage; and this it has been,
until not only the business men and
farmers of this oounty, but those of
interior towns in 8herman, Gilliam
Orook and Grant counties have been
greatly benefitted aad have realized
oheaper freights than ever before en.
joyed. Although forend to overcome
many obatao es, the D. P. & A. N. Go.
has proved successful in tbe mission
thst was to be accomplished, and tbe
most sanguine hopes of its friends have
been realized. In this hour of its tri
umph, when the merchant and farmer
have been relieved from the oppression
of the railroad corporation, for stock
holders to attempt to sell out their
interests to th monopoly and replace
the shippers again in its meshes, can
be truthfully called by no other name
than perfidy of the blackest kind, and
should receive the severest condemns
tion of every one concerned in the de
velopment of the resources of this por
tion of the state. The Regulator line
must and will continue as a practioal
solution of the desirability of water
communication with seaboard, and
those who depend upon our citizens for
support and are opposing it, should be
known and receive the treatment due
to enemies of the best interests of the
community. In the approaching elec
tion of directors of the D.P.4A.N,
Ox, every shareholder is ooncerned in
the result. All votes should be given
o those men who will be true to the
ohjoot for which the company was
formed, and not to those who would
willingly barter away the advantages
already gained and place The Dalles
and the country tributary under ocn
trol of the 0. B. & N. Go. for their own
selfish and -personal aggrandisement.
DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP.
If the majority of the shares of
stock of the D. P. A. & N. Go. pass
into the hands of tbe men who are
desirous of selling the boats to the
railroad company, it will be one of
tbe greatest drawbacks The Dalles and
the couatry tributary to it has ever
received. Tbe company was formed
for the purpose of practically test'ng
the cheapness of water transportation
in comparison witn- rail oarriage, and
this it has demonstrated to the satis
faction of shippers. This oity and
vicinity have enjoyed cheaper freight
rates for tbe past few years than ever
before, and tbe country has reaped
great advantages in consequence. Af
ter our citizens have subscribed to this
enterprise, and have seen it in success
ful operation, for tbe largest share
holders to sell out tbe stock to the
railroad company, thus placing small
holders under the control of the mo
nopoly, is an ontrage of the worst kind.
If the Regulator is sold to the 0. R.
& IS. Co. as a result of the election on
April 6 th, all efforts of our people in
the future to relieve themselves from
corporation control will be futile, as
tbe men of capital in this city will
eventually control all such endeavors
and use them for their own personal
gain. Tbe sum saved annually
to shippers at The Dalles and in the
interior, by reason of tbe reduction of
freight since the opposition boats have
been running on the river has been
double the amount of the capital stock
subscribed. They should continue as
the boats of the people's transportation
company, and any effort to change the
ownership should meet with the last-1
ing condemnation of every citizen in
terested in the growth and prosperity
of Tbe Dalles.
EDITOklAL NOTES:
this country; but peaca on this side of
the Atlantic is more desirable than
war.
Spain for purposes of supremacy,
has been very anxious to give the
world to understand that tbe Cuban
insurrection was of the dimensions of a
"tempest in a teapot;" hut this is not
generally credited, and those who are
well acquainted with tne progress
of the revolution say it is wide
spread with bright promises of being
successful It c-mnot be, in the very
nature of things, that peace and good
feeling should prevail in Cuba while
Havana is governed by tbe. cortes at
Madrid. Tbe world is in the last
decade of the nineteenth century, and
tbe advancement of tbe age demands
that local self governments should pre
vail universally. It was well enough
in Shakespeare s time to talk of tbe
"divinity that doth hedge around
kim ; but modern conditions are suoh
i hat i-uch language is not only obso
lete, but is an insult to tbe intelli
gence of mankind. Republics are
the highest development of national
growth, and monerobies must submit
to this universal decree or exist sim
ply in name and be respected only as
venerable monuments of an"qaity,
lik the present head of the British
empire.
Charles A. Dana, of tbe New York
Snn, has been indic ed for criminal
libel by a court in Washington Oity
and he has been served with process
to answer at the national capital,
Freedom of the press that great
palladium of buman liberty is a farue
in this country, aud when a publisher
is liable to be summoned te answer a
charge of libel in any distant place in
which his paper circulates it oan be
called by no milder term than an one-
ruge. The fiotion of law ia that the
.ib Hons article is published wherever
the paper is read, and this aff jrds an
opportunity forlicigation to become
burdensome and oppressive on tb-ni
cotservao.s of th public weal. Mr.
Dana has sufficient indepe denoe and
firmness te maintain his constitutional
rights, and not to be dragged to a dis
tant city to be tried for aa off nse
which could be adjudicated with equal
justice to a1 1 parties in New York
oity. This action in relation to the
law of libel has been on the statute
books long enough, and should be ex
puaged by some judge, who is possessed
of sufficiently broad-minded discern
ment not to ba governed by obsolete
rules, which are a dingrace to tbe pres
ent advanoed stage of civilization and
free government.
The Regulator should remain the
people's boat. Not only Wasco
oounty, but every portion of Eastern
Oregon tributary to The Dalles, is di-
reotly interested that it should be
so.

SOUND FINANCIAL VIEWS.
If Senator David B. Hill is an
oracle of Democracy, that party will
not enter the campaign of 1896 in
favor of unlimited coinage. In an
address before the Mills olub of Al
bany, N. Y., yesterday, he used the
following significant language:
"The Democratic party does not be
lieve in gold monomeialism en tbe
one hand, nor in silver mono met alism
on the other, but in bimetallism the
free bimetallic coinage (aside from. ra-.
tio) provided for by coinage aot of 1873
This safe, sound and conservative posi
tion is in accordance with our tradi
tions, the utterances of our leading
publio men for three quarters of a cen
tury, and with the provisionas of our
-national platforms. We must not
abandon it; we must not surrender it
we must not ba coaxed away from it;
we must not be driven from ib We
can safely stand upon it in every part
of the country."
' Republicans cannot objeot to this
position on tbe money question, and is
tbe same that has been pursueikby the
pirty during tbe long time it con
trolled national affairs. Bimetalism
is the correct theory of finance, and
this, can only ba maintained by the
plan followed at the public treasury in
redeeming securities in either gold or
silver at tbe option of the bolder.
This is the reason that the American
dollar today is on such a substantial
. basis in oomparson with the coins, of
Mexico and the South American re
publics. It is a solid and safecurrencv
because it has a solid and safe gold prop
behind it to afford support in am
emergency. Unlimited coinage would
cause silver monometalism, and this
would be the greatest financial disaster
that could happen the nation. If the
Democratic party adopts Mr. Hili't
view in the national platform of 1896,
and the Republican organization " is
true to its traditions, there will be no
distinctive financial issues between
them in tbe next presidential canvass.
Under such circumstances the Pop
ulists could. expect little help for their
favorite and illusory ideas on the coin
age question, and it is very likely that
neither of the leadinir parties will
adopt any of these'fallaoioua schemes.
The financial system of the world is
governed by well regulated rules, and
these have been demonstrated bj
years of practical experienee. Theor
ies on such matters are
delegates to be held in Portland on
May 22d. Tbe campaign clubs of last
year are expeoted to take the initiative
in bringing abcut a reorganisation this
year, and at the meeting in Portland it
is expected plans will be matured for
the oanvaas next year. Notbirg oan
be accomplished without organization,
and it is time that something should
be dona
The oampaign next .year will be a
oauob more dimcnlt one to engineer
than that of last June. Then strong
hopes were entertained that with Re
publican success many needed reforms
would be inaugurated, and when the
returns showed that the party had such
an overwhelming majority, strong
hopes were entertained that Oregon
would be relieved of many useless com
missions, which had been draining the
treasury for years past Tbe legisla
ture met, and spent the forty days at I revolt,
too much prominence to the fello

damages, because that paper conoid

The attitude of S-cretary Graham
towards Spain should he upheld by
every Americau citizen. Our flig
should be respected by every nation.
and there should be force and pluck
behind '-old gljry"to make it the sm
bol of authority. On this side of the
Atlantic we have no enemies; hut
foreigners are liable to feel important
when they cruise around these waters.
The affair of the American mail
steamer being fired on by a Spanish
gunboat has caused the state- depart
ment to demand an apology from
Spain. This action of Secretary Ores
ham will be endorsed by all Americans,
for this country and its flag are en
titled to the same oourteous recognition
as other nation". If the emergency
arise, Americans' hearts and bands
will support the dignity of the flag at
whatever cost.

Conttilutionale, tbe semi official newspa
per at Havana, reviews tbe allegations in
the AUianea case, and opines tbat if tba
vessel was really fired upon, tbe Spanish
commander was tuby justified. It as
aumes tbat there was something sus
picious abont tbe appearance or
movements of the vessel, and tbat wben
tbe Spanish cruiser proposed to examine
ber she ran away, and it thereupon fired
after ber. A part of tbe newspaper's
assumption is tbat tbe steamer did not
show her colors wben called up n to do
so.
Tbe article then recites tbe achieve
ments of the Spieisb navy and proceeds
'Let it be known tbat our nayy of to
day is the same as that of Lepanto,
Trafalgar and Ca'loa. It is the same
that tbe Austrian Admiral Tegesibofl
pointed out to his officers to be imitated
