The Situation Means Virtually
a Backdown From the
Monroe Doctrine.
WEAK AND UNPOPULAR POLICY.
In the Course of Time an Array of
American WarshipS Will Appear
Near Venezuela.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 26.-The
Post gives double-leaded prominence to
the Venezuelan affair to-day and saws that
President Cleveland and Secretary Olney
in their desire to in some measure retrieve
themselves from the odium cast upon them
by reason of their hitherto unfortunate for
eign policy have involved the country In
situation which means virtually back
down from the Monroe doctrine or a fight
for Venezuela. The Post continues:
Until quite recently the administra-
ton was, to say the least, unfortunate in
the execution of it's foreign policy. Its
attitude toward Hawaii when its Ministers
secretly conspired to restore the Queen to
her throne naturally failed to strike a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of the people
whose ancestors had revoted against the
tyranny of George III. On the pages of
its diplomatic correspondence with foreign
countries were appeals of American citi-
zens who had suffered wrong and indignity
without redress. The affair at Corinto was
another chapter which the American peo-
pie read with a burning sense of indigna-
ton. How far this weak and unpopular
policy was due to the administration of the
Department OF State is a matter not now
10 Ue ulSCuSSeu Sul1Ce II 10 say LQaC IL
existed.
For the present purposes of the admin
istration the situation in Venezuela is
most opportune. says the Post, and then
it argues that Mr.. Olney, in his anxiety to
establish the administration in popular
favor, has proceeded SO far that he cannot
and must not back down, and that for this
reason work upon ships is being fastened
in the navy-yards. More than this, there
will be, in due course of time, an array of
American war vessels under the shadow of
the Venezuelan coast.
TIE Star takes more conservative view
OF the situation and says that, although
matters are extremely threatening, there
is no probability that the Venezuelan
question will reach a elimination before
the meeting OF Congress.
The Star says that Cleveland and his
Secretary of State do not assume that
Lord Salisbury's reply will be unsatlsfac-
tory"
This is equivalent to saying ''they hope
for the best" 1t is the general impression
here, as voiced by the daily papers, that
Cleveland and Olney have got themselves
into a predicament from which they are
endeavorIng to escape as gracefully as pos
sible. 1t Is the one topic in hotel corridors,
and wherever the public assemblies it is
freely predicted that the administration
will back down from its position of insist
ing upon arbitration.

A Quick and Satisfactory Job.
[From Baltimore American

While Squire "Tom" Parker of
Portchester, n. Y, was shoeing pair
of Milo Meade's oxen few days ago
a man and woman, arm in arm, en-
tered his blacksmith shop. The Squire
from force of habit, looked at their feet.
Then he raised his eyes to their faces.
Where's the Squire?" asked the
man.
Pm him, said the blacksmith.
The man, looking nervous, walked
over to him and whispered.
I'VE do, do ye?n said the Squire
smiling, "Well, foller me.n
He led them into his office, which
adjoins the blacksmith shop. The man
said he was Henry Schoiield, 81 years
old, sailor, and that his port of entry
and departure was Mamaroneck. The
woman was Mrs. May Fay, widow, of
Bridgeport. They were in a hurry, and
the Squire sent for NJ. f. Hickey and
John Madigan to serve as witnesses.
Then, with his sleeves rolled up and
still wearing his leather apron, he tied
the nupital knot with dignity
He didn't kiss the bride. Maybe that
was because there was smut ON his
nose. But he congratulated the couple
and wished them well. The bridegroom
slipped four 81 bills into his hands, but
he returned two of them. He is a pillar
of the Methodist church and 50 was his
legal fee.
MERRY Christmas!n said the bride,
as the Squire picked up the right hind
hoof of one of Milo Mead's oxen and re-
sumed operations.
Same to you,' said he, "and many
