We are not in sympathy with the
jingoism which fires the breasts of
some of our belligerent contemporaries.
We believe that the true policy OF the
United States is one of peace. The

when actual necessity arises that a
recourse should be made to arms.
An attempt on the part of any Euro
pean power to grasp more territory
than is legitimately under its protec-
ton or control on the american con-
tinent, would be a proper occasion
for forcible action by the United
States.

England decline arbitration in this

Great dissatisfaction has been ex-
pressed by a portion of the American
press and public with the foreign
policy of the present administration.
Much of it has been without just
cause. But in this case the American
public will be aroused to just indig-
nation if Great Britain, through any
mark of weakness on the part of the
United States. should be permitted to
fitch from a South American republic
a coveted point, however small in ex-
tent, to which she has no right or
title. Secretary Olney will no doubt
give this grave matter his serious and
immediate attention.

WHAT Of VENEZUELA.

The new secretary of state will find
some very important problems to
souve in relation to the foreign policy
of the United States. Among them is
the Venezuelan question. It is a long
standing dispute between Venezuela
and Great Britain. It differs from
the Nicarauguan controversy. 1t may
involve the enforcement of the Mon
roe doctrine. There was nothing in
the quarrel between England and Nj
caragua which entrenched upon that
doctrine.
The dispute between Great Britain
and Venezuela is one in regard to ter
ritory. British Guiana joins Venez-
eula. It's boundary line approaches
very near to the mouth of the Orono-
co river That is a very important
stream. 1t is fourteen hundred miles
in length. By shifting the boundary
line of British Guiana a trifle to the
northwest it would take in the en-
trance to that stream.
1t is well known that England is
all the time on the lookout for the
most important ports and strategic
points on the globe. She claims that
a mistake has been made as to the
boundary of British Guiana and that
If it is properly rectifed the mouth
Of the Oronoco river will Ire included
within that line. This is disputed by
Venezuela.
The President Of the United States
has offered his good services to settle
the matter by arbitration. The Ven
ezuelan government is willing ard
anxious that such a settlement of the
difficulty shall take place. Up TO the
present time, however, the govern
ment of Great Britain has not accep-
ted the offer of the president. 1t looks
as though England would prefer a
war with the weaker power to en-
force her claims, rather than to yield
TO an amicable settlement. OF course
left to fight the battle alone with the
South American republic, Great Brit
ain could accomplish her ends with
out much difficulty. She could not
only gain possession of the coveted
spot, but also force the weaker gov
eminent to pay the expenses of a war
engaged in to accomplish that end.
But is it possible that the United
States would look quietly on while a
European power acquired additional
possessions on the American CONT
nent? Would not the attempt TO ex-
tend British possessions in South
America warrant the armed interfer-
enc Of the United States, under the
principles enunciated in the Monroe
message? OF course thai would de-
pend upon the question of the justice
or injustice of the claims of Great
Britain. If she is legally entitled to
the territory designated there would
be no just cause for objection on the
part of the United States. But il the

KEEP TO THE MAIN POINT.

That the gold monometallists are in
bad straits is evident from the at
tempts they make to turn the argu-
ment on the silver question to side
issues. One of these is in reference to
the demonetizing act of 1873. The
proofs are satisfactory to most people
who have investigated the subject,
that the omission of n provision
for the free coinage of silver in that
piece of wicked Republican legisla-
ton, was an act of deception on the
part Of the manipulators of the Dill.
Not until long after its passage were
the great body Of the members OF
either house of Congress aware OF that
omission. 1t is on that account that
the management Of the measure is
called a trick by those who compre-
bend the evils it has wrought.
But thai is not the main conten-
ton now before the American pubic.
L matters not by what means silver
was demonetized. The question IS
shal it be restored. BY diverting at
tention from that vital point and 60
ing off into long debates over, whether
or not the act of 1873 was fully dis
cussed and understood by members OF
Congress of both parties, the goldites
seek to confuse the public mind on the
great issue of the hour.
We think the champions of bimetal-
lism make a great mistake by taking
I'D that phase of the dispute. 1t is
waste of time. 1t works into the
scheme of the monometallists who are
trying to befog the ordinary voter.
Never mind about the means by
which silver was cast down. Let the
effects of its fall be made clear to the
masses of the American people. Elk
plain to them how it has worked woe
to them, and brought wealth to the
money lenders and gold spectators of
the nation and Of the world. Make
them understand the necessity of the
restoration of silver, and it will mat
ter very little to them or to the cause,
whether the decentralization of the
white metal was brought about by a
trick, or was the deliberate design of
the whole Republican party as repre-
scented in the Congress of 1873. Keep
to the main issue.

LADIES TO THE FRONT.


The Democratic Society Of Salt Lake
county has taken the initiative in ar
rying out the suggestion of the general
executive committee. In another part
of this paper will be found a stirring
call upon the women of this county to
come to the front and take an active
part in political affairs. That call is
signed by several ladies as well as
gentlemen.
The presence Of their names as part
of the executive committee for this
county shows that something more
than talk has been done. The county
executive committee enlarged their
number by the addition of those ladies,
who are duly installed as part of that
working body.
1t is fitting that the Democratic
party of Utah, which took the lead in
a genuine movement for equal suff-
rage, which championed woman's
cause in the Constitutional Convention,
and which would have placed the bal
lot in her hands at the first state cleo
ton, if their numbers had been suf-
ficient in that body, should be the first
to welcome woman to an active par
ticipation with men in the privileges
and duties of preliminary political ar
rangements, on which so much de-
ponds.
The ladies Of Salt Lake county
should show their appreciation of this
action, by joining the Democratic So
cieties and using their influence in
political affairs. Whether they shall
cast a ballot or not next November.
they should put themselves in a posi-
ton to have a voice in the selection
of candidates. We congratulate them
on this practical organization of their
political status, as free and actual citi-
zens of Utah and Of the United States.

DEMOCRATS AND PENSIONS.

One of the receptions used by Re-
publican campaign speakers to pre-
judice the public against the Demo-
cratic party is the fiction hat it is an
enemy of the veterans of the civil
war. Under the Democratic admin
istration the pension list has been
carefully revised. No with the inten-
ton of depriving any Union soldier of
his just dues under the pension laws,
but to prevent fraud and correct
abuses. 1t is we'll known hat pension
sharks have preyed upon the public
treasury, and bogus claims have been
successfully collected by which Uncle
Sam has been robbed of a great
amount of money. In addition to
fraudulent demands for pensions
which were not l~egitimately due, there
have been many instances of increaS-
ed allowances beyond the legal limit.
One of these cases, about which a
great uproar has been made, is that
of Judge Long, of Michigan. He was
drawing a pension under the totally
disabled" list, which Melted him sew
enty-two dollars a month. Commits
sioner Lochren reduced his pension to
the class which draws but fifty dollars
a month. This was because Judge
Long was not totally disabled. The
proof of that fact was and is that he
is a member of the Supreme Court of
Michigan, and his salary is $500 a
year.
His case created a great deal Of dis
cussion. He was a valiant soldier and
was wounded in the civil war He "a
entitled to public consideration. But
sympathy was falsely aroused in his
behalf for political purposes, and he
was referred to as an example of the
hatred of the Democratic party for
the soldiers of the republic. An ap-
peal was taken from Commissioner
Lochren's decision, and it was over
ruled by Judge Bradley. But the case
has reached a final ruling, and it has
been clearly established that Lochren
was right and Long is not entitled to
be classed in the list of totally dis
abled pensioners.
The record of the Democratic adj
ministration on the pension question
bears the strictest scrutiny. There has
been no attempt to deprive any person
entitled to pension relief from any
just due or demand. And the endeav-
or to prejudice the public in the case
of a nan drawing a salary of $500 a
year and mark him as a victim of
Democratic discrimination, is char
acteristic of Republican impudence
and duplicity. The list of pensioners
fairly entitled to government aid is d
roll of honor. The list of bogus pen
sioners and hungry and dishonest
money-grabbers is a roll Of dishonor.

CAPAB OF REFORM.

Our Republican neighbor, initial
ing the animals in the parable, has
returned to it's congenial gutter and
accustomed food. 1t is welcome to
wallow where it will and chew what
it chooses. The terms which it en-
ploys in its anger at The Herald for
exposing it's mendacity accomplish
nothing in the way of argument and
constitute no defence.
The opinions of The Herald on any
public question or in reference to any
public official are expressed through
its editorial columns. In other parts
of the paper the views of various per-
sons are occasionally given. In '@The
Political Arena" public comments on
popular topics are given freely as
they are CLEANED in actual CONVERSE
tons. To extract the opinions of pri-
vate individuals as related under that
head, and use them as the utterances
of The Herald, is a species of journal
ism resorted to only by the scaven-
gers of the profession. That is how
our Republican contemporary en-
deavors to manufacture a conflict in
the u~tterances of this paper.
What Republicans or Democrats or
Populists may ia on any particular
subject must not be COMPOUNDED with
the views of this paper. We expect to
give place in THE Political Arena"
to the opinions of different persons
stating them fairly n Is fully as is
consistent with the demands on our
space, no matter how much they may
be at variance with our own opinions
and sentiments.
For instance the argument advanced
by a prominent Democrat against the
legality of any election under the state
constitution, is given in extenso, ana
yet The Herald does not endorse il
in any particular. To quote that as a
Herald argument would be the mean
est kind Of p~ettifogging, and yet that
is the very method employed by our
u~nprincipled neighbor TO fabricate a
contradiction in our columns. We
