The London Times thinks that Secretary
Fish, in calling the affairs of Cuba to the
attention of European powers has virtually
abandoned the Monroe doctrine, and says his
arguments are much what would be expected
from an astute statesman who feels bound to
respect popular prejudices while receding
from an untenable position and minimizing
obsolete principles. 1t combats Mr.. Fish's
theory that Mr.. Canning was the originator
of the Monroe doctrine, and concludes as
follows: "Monroe's idea, unfortunately, be-
came corrupted until it degenerated into a
barren cry of America for The Americans
Its bad effects have been mitigated in prac-
tice by the good sense of American states
men, although its pretensions have tampered
their freedom of action and kept many peril
GUS questions open which might have been
useiully closed by diplomacy. Many Ameri-
cans had cause to believe that the existence
of foreign colonies upon the soil of the con-
tinent was an insupportable outrage From
such exaggerations of an originally foolish
claim we are glad to see that Mr.. Fish has
withdrawn, and that he shapes his policy
rather by precedents of Mr.. Monroe's ad.
minstraton than by the principles OF Mon
roe's message"

SUNSET Cox has been interviewed by a
reporter of the World, and apparently the
honorable gentleman attempted to be funny,
acalling for which, if one may judge by GER
tain papers of his on American humor, he is
eminently untitled. Mr.. Cox thinks that the
talk about nominating Hendricks for Presi-
dent sis bosh. He is fourth choice and a
good field against him. In my estimation
Allen is the leading candidate. Thurman
follows him, Pendleton next, and then Hen
dricks." Mr.. Cox further said that he had
"no desire to grasp the bauble of empty, no
litical fame," and that his work is to recon-
cile the Democratic party. 1t is evident that
he is provided with employment for the re-
nainder of the congressional session at least.
Being interrogated as to the truth of the re-
port that he was to retire from political life
he said he didn't know how that might be-,
adding, "my wife wants me to leave the bust.
ness now, and spend few more years in
travel before we settle down to serene old age.
1 mean to go to the holy land. 1 want to
visit Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and
other places made historical by the life of
Christ. Iwant to bathe in the Jordan and
drink from the Poo, of Bethesda, and then
can return to America contented man."
At this point the interviewer discreetly with
drew.

JOHN FORSTER, who died in London Tues

marked impress upon the literature of his
time. He was very prolific writer. While a
student in the University of London he, with
Others, founded the London University Maga.
zine, and contributed to it series of bio
graphical sketches which subsequently ap-
peared in volume bearing the title Lives of
the Statesmen of the Commonwealth. In
1884 he made connection with the Exami-
ner, and in 1916 become its sole editor. He
was also editor of the Foreign Quarterly Re.
view for four years, and took charge of the
Daily News on the retirement of Dickens. In
addition to several volumes of essays, critical
and biographical, he wrote The Life and
Times of Oliver Goldsmith; Walter Savage
Landar, Biography; and The Life OF
Charles Dickens. At the time OF his death
he was engaged upon Life of Dean Swift,
of which one volume has appaared

Tia House Democratic caucus at Wa

Tia House Democratic caucus at Wash
ington Tuesday evening was lively affair, a
pitched battle taking place between the infa-
tionists and hard-money men, and resulting
IN decisive advantage to neither. Landers of
Indiana offered resolution in favor of the
repeal of the resumption act and the payment
of the 5-20 bonds in greenbacks. He was
supported by Bright of Tennessee and Hol-
man of Indiana in rabid soft-money speeches.
Hardenburgh of New Jersey spoke for hard
money, and Payne of Ohio proposed his
meaningless bill as compromise. Hereford
of West Virginia attempted TO pour oil on the
troubled waters by offering a motion that no
Democratic member shall make any finan-
cial proposition in the House for twenty days,
but could not get vote upon the motion.
Finally the caucus adjourned, without action,
for week.

the state large and timely gift is offered it
in aid of the establishment of this School.
An old established literary institution comes
forward with fund of $4,000, and with
buildings valued at $4,000 more. The loca-
ton is beautiful one in the fourshing
village of North Bridg.on, healthy, and easy
OF access by two railroads, the Grand Trunk
and the Portland 6 Ogdensburg, with both
OF which it is connected by daily stages. The
entire property, equivalent to $4,000, is
offered to the State, provided it will establish
and maintain State Normal School upon
the grounds. The building is represented as
needing moderate outlay only to put it in
condition for immediate occupancy, and the
fund is sufficient to keep the School in opera
ton for several years without an appropria-
ton from the state, if necessary. Now mas.
much as State Normal School must be
established in Western Maine at an early day.
and as the offered location is very desirable,
it would seem to be good policy for the State
to accept so liberal gift while it can be had,
and to Immediately establish the school upon
the spot proposed. The state cannot afford
to reject an offer so generous for a purpose so
good. The people of the western counties
desire the school at once, and under all the
circumstances it will bs unwse for the Legis-
lature to refuse their request
Let the Legislature economize in all proper
directions as closely as it pleases, but let it
bear in mind that the hindering of education
and the impairment of the quality and guam
tity of instruction is a disastrous policy. True
economy will provide that every dollar of our
great school fund shall be made 10 count,
that none of it shall be expended in provision
for incompetent teachers or outgrowD meth
ods OF INSTRUCTION. Unless all this be done
the fund is in effect squandered, for its ex-
penditure brings no adequate return. Ualess
we have good teachers appropriations in
creased ten fold will avail nothing. Should
the new School be established the annual
expense of the three Normal Schools will not
reach $4,000, and this sum comes from the
fund already provided by law, and necessi-
tates no additional taxation. Twenty thous-
and dollars is small sum to be expended in
educating and properly fitting for their work
six thousand teachers, and is small percent
age to reserve from the million and half in
order that that great sum shall be judiciously
and efficiently expended.

ELSEWHERE will be found a communica-
tion from the Rev. DR.. Thomas Hill, ex-
President of Harvard College, in relation to
the barbarities practised upon our soldiers in
the prison pens of the South. While DIR. Hill
believes in the forgiveness. OF political errors
and amnesty for political offenses, he cannot.
in common with majority of the northern
people, bring himself to pardon deliberate
murder and fiendish cruelty, and TO promise
impunity in future by restoring the offender
to our full confidence and his full privileges.
The crime of Andersonville he regards as a
moral and not political offense.
