THE MONROE DOCTRINE TO BE
ENFORCED.

On the 18th inst. the senate by a resolution
requested President Arthur to inform it iu
regard to the steps that the government had
taken to protect the rights of the United
| States in the Panama canal. In answer to
| that resolution the President transmitted tc
that body the letter of Secretary Blaine upon
the subject. The full text of the letter does
not appear in any of our exchanges, but
enough of it is at hand to how the govern
m.nt has taken a decided stand upon tie
question. 1t will be remembered that at the
extra session of the senate last March that
body ratified not only the two Chinese treat
les and the Japanese treaty but also the pro-
focal which had been negotiated between the
representatives Of the United States
and those of the United States of
Colombia. The latter power not only
rejected this protocol, but expressed
a "esire to terminate the treaty Of 1916, and
appeal to the powers Of Europe for a joint
guarantee for the neutrality of the Isthmus,
and the sovereignty of Colombia. As this
move OH the part OF that nation did not please
tho government, the D partment of State al-
dressed to each Minister at European courts
a long letter of instructions touching the mat
ter. In regard to the attitude assumed by the
United States toward the enterprise the letter
referred to embraces the following declsr-
alton:
"The United States recognizes a proper guar
anty of neutrality as essential to the construc.
ton and successful operation Of any highway
across the Isthmus of Panama; and more than
a third of a century ago, this government
tool every step that it deemed requisite in the
premises. In the judgment of the President
this guaranty, given by the United States of
America, does not require reinforcement, or
accession, or assent from any other power. In
more than one instance his government has
beeu called upon to vindicate the neutrality,
thus guaranteed, and there is no contingency
now foreseen or apprehended in which such
vindicatiou would not be within the power of
this nation"
The Minister at London was also instruct
to call the attention of Lord Granville to
the treaty of 1916 between this country and
Colombia and intimate to him o any
movement on the part of Great Britain in the
sense of Supplanting the guarantees contained
would be res arded by this govern
ment. The ground is taken that in the con-
of a canal across the Isthmus tor
inter-oceaH purposes, the local and general
OF the United States must be consid-
cred before those of any other power. In
of this declaration it is urged that

Among other matters upon which the Me-
line report throws light is the case of tusto-
dian Pitney. After expressing The belief that
the office of Gu toLial is net warranted by
law, it ventilates some of the crooked transac-
tons Of Fituey in the following style: "He
is found 10 have tW ice paid for certain bills
Of carpeLing out of the d ltierent funds and to
have mixed up the accounts, paying for GER
tain work out Of tie wrong funds. Thu
SOP Woodruff file holders were paid for out of
the appropriation Tor ice, and that the file
holders had never been delivered. The Gus
tndian refuses to explain this matter. The
drivers Of Department carriages were supplied
with evercoats paid for " as billiard cloth 10
cover desks" and paid out of the Furniture
appropriation. Fifty-three gallons of bay
rum were purchased as dsodorized alcohol.
1t was used for toilet purposes. For the
three years ending May, 1881, the waste pa
per Of the Department was sold for 5000,
and no deposit was made in the Treasury on
that ACCOUNT, except after the committee sug-
gesied it should be done, aud then only
S2,17G was deposited" lille not willing to
make any recommendation The committee
says: We think the system in vogue very
loose and liable TO great abuse, and IN oui
opinion it should be materially changed"

The Blonde

"Did you ever see them bucSskin bronchos
of mine that | used to drive, named 1eller
and Yaller?!' asked Buck Bramel the other
day of Gen. Worth, while he locked out
across the green billowy divide toward the
eternal whiteness of the snowy range?"
.Why, no; never heard of 'em." ..
"Well," said Buck, as "a tender light came
in his blue eye, and a three-cornerd nugget
of tin-tag tobacco was slowed away in his
, cheek, ''both of them same cayuse plugs
could scoot over more mountain road be-
tween SUI and sun than anything in the line
of boss l ever ste.
"Yeller was pretty middlin' rapid, bu.
Yaller was all imported terror. You ought
to see him gather up his limbs in a wad and
vanish. One day l was out on board Of Yai-
Ter, tryin' to round up an American COW that
had strayed away from the corral, and over
west of the divide l worked up a iong-legged
buck antelope.
81 made a little shassay over toward the All
te.cpe to see him light out, but he frs
pranced along kind of careless like, as much
as to say, Il guess l Won't give you no 2 :13
gate this morning. Life is to brief. I can't
run that way just to amaze every snoozer
that comes this way on a blonde plug like
that
81 touched up old Yal!er with the quit,
and sailed over toward the antelope ,hinkin,
I'd stir him up a little.
"The antelope trvtted along a few rods,
AMI then lookin' back over his shoulder
smiled a sardonic smile that made old Yaller
mad as a wet hen.
Then lie got up and got. Jewhillikins,
how he paved the gravel! Occasionally The
antelope would look around and snort, and
jump stiff-legged, and laugh. Then old Yal-
Ter would consume some more space.
1.-The antelope turned himself loose, and
for "a while all l could see was a little cloud
of dust and the white spot that is always be
hind this amusin' little animal.
"After a while, however, l could see that
the white patch got bigger. Yaller was gain
in. | jabbed the Mexican spur into him to
encc urage him. In less than all hour | was
alongside of him. His tongue hung out SO
that he stepped on it every little while.
'He didn't laugh anymore then. 1t was a
terrible reality. He seemed to think we had
impo.ed on him somehow. Every little
while he'd look at old Yaller kind of re-
proachful, as if we'd taken advantage of him.
"By'n by l reached over and took him by
the ears and laid him across the saddle ahead
of Inc and took him home. l KEEP. him four
years, but he Lever rail- d.
ale seemed TO loose all hope, and would
walk around the corral like an old billygoat
that had been betrayed some time. Life for
seemed to be nothing but a wide, shore

gret.

The Washington Republican of a recent
date pays its compliments to the New Yo:k
Tribune in the following unmistakable Ian
guage: THE New York Tribune confronted
by this paper with its infamous calumniss
against General Garfield, writes under the
lash and fairly toams with rage. Tie Tribune
is lewd aud mercenary, and has undertaken
the business of tearing down the editor of the
Republican for hire because he has assailed
certain public robbers who are its employers.
The vicious cd thing pretends to have
spssu,s of virtue when it has a particularly
dirty job on hand, and our reproduction Of
its brutal calnmnies against General Garfield
and its publication of the letter advocating
he assassination of General Grant are serious
obstacles to its obtaining a hearing The
beautiful harmony raging i'll the Republican
party is sir guIarly illustrated in the above.
Stalwart pistols and Lalf-breed coffee are now
in order.

WHITEWASHING.

Mr.. John Sherman ex-Treasurer of thejUnit-
ed States. and now senator from Ohio, de-
sires very much to he investigated, but like
many other Republicans who have held less
responsible positions than he has and does,
wants that investigation to be conducted in
an orthodox manner. An investigation con-
Quoted under the rules aud regulations
adopted by the leaders Of the party Mr.. Sher-
man considers about the proper thing. Any
other he will not listen to. So the matter be-
ing arranged according to Mr.. Sherman's
views of propriety and i'll conformity with
the usages of the party, the gentleman con-
Guided the time had arrived for the rsgula-
ton whitewash to be applied to him, there
fore h. introduced a resolution which was
adopted on the 2lst inst. calling for a certain
report which had been doctered to suit his
aesthetic ia ste.
10 arrive at a proper understanding of this
matter it may be as well to state that on the
9Th day of last May a committee consisting
of Messrs. J. S. Meline, John Walker and ".
Il. Hills was appointe l to examine the dis
bnrsement and contingent account of the
Treasury Department. This report contains
some damaging disclosures which compro-
missed Mr.. Sherman. But it seems that Mr..
Window obtained possession of the report
and suppressed it in order to screen his pred
etessor, Nj. John Sherman, and made out
another report himself which places Mr.
Sherman above reproach and his manage
ment of the business of the Treasury De-
partment above suspicion. This is the report
that the senator from Ohio wanted, and when
he moved that it be called up Mr.. Farley,
senator from California, moved as an
amendment that the testimony upon which
the report IS based should be s omitted
with the report itself. This was
more than Mr.. Sherman bargained for.
The production of testimony would up
set WINDOWS bucket of whitewash
which he had so nicely prepared for his friend
from Ohio aud Sherman immedi>
ately objected to the amendment.
1t is hacdly necessary to state that Mr.. Far
ley's line ndment was defeated by a strict
party VOTE Davis, as usual, voting with the
'N~PtDAfSS-e- AZ u oiiSiiSi fCoOtaJlOll cali
ing for the report was adopted. This settled
tie matter and the honorable gentleman was
properly whitewashed in due and ancient
from 81. -i* ....
But there are some rich developments
promised when President Arthur's permanent
Secretary If the Treasury takes charge OF
that Office. Then, in the language of hir.
Conkling, "The bright beginning of a hal
cyoH = d vociferous proceeding will be in
augurated. The Window whItewash will be
sCraped from the back of the Ohio Senator /;
the Sherman fur will fly, and if we do not
hear some strange stories the omission may
be ascribed to the near approach of the mil
lenhium when the New York lion and the
Ohio lamb shall lie down together.

CoNKLING ON TOP.

When Mr.. Conkling told President Garfield
at the time the latter was forming his cabinet
that New York wanted the treasuryship or
nothing Mr.. Garfield paid no heed to the
naughty Stalwart but went to the west for his
treasurer, and threw the postnaster-general-
ship to he empire state as a sop to appease
the wrath of Conkline's followers. This has
proved, thus far, to be a fortunate one and the
great mass of the people was well satisfied
with the u distribution of the cabinet positions.
But subsequent events have shown that nei-
Their Mr.. Conkling nor President Arthur were
pleased, for Immediately upon the accession
OF the latter gentleman to the chief magistra-
cy Mr.. Window was given to understand, by
means well known to trained poli'icsans, that
his presence as United States treasurer would
not be insisted upon. Nj. Windom resigned,
was elected United States senator from Min
nesota aud Judge Folger was nominated and
confirmed as his successor. The process Of
ousting a western Half-breed and installing
a New Y".& SLa'wart a the head of the
treasury department was bat the work of a
few days. This is the first step in the sal
wart programme. Tie next has already
been fore Swallowed. Judge Folger is ambi
tious to occupy a >eat in the 5 pleme court
Of the United States. Justice Hunt is old
and wishes to be letire!. This opportunity
will soon be afforded linn and Judge Folger
will be transferred from the treasury depart
ment to the coveted seat. Thus two binds
will oe killed with one stone. Judge Folgre
Will be rewarded for whatever sacrifice he
may have made in holding open the door of
the treasury department for the advent Of his
successor Mr.. Colkling, and the latter gen.
tleman will be placed in a position where he
can deal directly with his Half-breed foes,
particularly with his arch enemy Judge Rob
ertson, collector of the port of New York.
The whirligig Of time works some wonder
full changes in politics as we'll as in other less
intricate matters, but we can recall no in
stance wherein the eternal fitness of things
was better accommodated than l. would be
if Mr.. Conkline could be placed in a post ON
in which he cou d hold the whip hand over
thosn who have sought to destroy him. Tho
chances that he will thus hold it is beyond
perauNentltr9. what use he may make OF MS
now assured position in the council of the
nation cannot be a matter Of co, lecture. Mr..
Arthur's admin tration will be a Stalwart
one and but little consideration will be
shown those Of the opposing faction who do
not quietly yield to lhs Inevitable, hence it IS
fair to presume that ladical chsnges will be
made in the personnel of the various federal
offices and Mr.. Conkling's hand will be shown
in the changes. Should such be the case it
would be but a tair recognition Of the services
he has rendered his party. 1t is mainly
through his efforts the Republican party con-
trolls the administration OF the government
to-day. AS was anticipated "a wall goes up
from the Half-hreed camp over the present.
TO them-humiliating situation. L. will not
