The diplomatic relations of the Cleveland Al
ministraton with Hawaii Venezuela. Nicaragua
and the Spanish West Indies are now cnvclOpcd
with uncertainty and mystery. Cabinet confer
cnccs are held and the newspapers are filed
with conccturcS and explanations hut neither
Secretary Gresham nor the most asutc dpo-
matist Of the press seems 10 know what is
going on. Such glimpses are offered of the
practical application Of the Monroe Doctrine
TO existing complications are as inScrutablc as
the studies Of haze and fog in Turner'S pictures.
Perspicuity in this class Of diplomatic questions
ought not perhaps To be expected, for American
practice has seldom been in line with the his
torcal canon Of Continental policy.
The Monroe Doctrine has never been rccog
nizcd in Europe as anything more than bit
of Yankee braggadocio Mr.. Froudc was ac-
customed TO compare it 10 the famous Papal
bull bestowing on Spain all the countries lying
within the tropics west of the Atlantic The
Pope us lord Of the New World had declared
that SpaniardS alone should own territory or
carry on trade in the continent discovered by
them SO long as there was physical force 10
support the bull the doctrine was respected; but
when sea-rOvers. Adventures and English colo
niss challenged Spanish supremacy on sea and
land the New World opened 10 the Anglo
Saxon as well as the Latin races In like manner
the Monroe Doctrine has no potency as a con-
turing phrase. lis moral force proclamation
of the homogeneiy Of all interests affecting the
American Continent has depended upon the
maritime and commercial resources and the
aggressive diplomacy which were behind it.
While Americans have been Juggling with a
phrase maritime Europe has taken possession
Of the markets Of tropical America, and convert
ed Brazil and most Of the Spanishspeaking
countries into commercial dependencies IT has
supplied the capital needed for railways and
Internal improvements, has stocked the mines
and funded and refunded the national debts
and has Europeanized Spanish America. Mean
while, one American Administration after an
other has amessly rung the changes upon the
Monroe Doctrine very much rs Secretary
Gresham is now doing in Venezuelan and Mica

buys such American goods as have deterlorated
in quality. or such foreign goods as are sent

The trouble about wages springs from the
general impression among employees that when
manufacturers get orders they get profits. But
in times like these that is by no means true.
Very often a manufacturer has orders that only
suffice TO keep his mills at work part time,
which. owing to the increased cost OF produc-
ton under such circumstances. he cannot take
without loss unless he can somehow contrVe
TO keep the works fully employed. With that
object. and in order to retain his market as far
* possble. he accepts enough other orders to
keep his works employed though these other
orders may not by themselves yield anything
but a loss The average for the whole output
he calculates, may yield something above pare
cost with labor at the rate recently prevailing
But when the hands demand a restoration OF
wages TO the rates paid before the prostratlon
the naked question for the manufacturer IS

The wages and prices prevailing two ana
three years ago were so closely adjusted to each
other that only moderate profits were reailze9
in weH-managed and successful mills. The nome
competition was so sharp and severe that works
which were not we'll managed rarely realized
any profit. and large number OF them
were forced into bankruptcy or compelled to
stop. even in those years Of prosperity. The

competition and the undervaluations Of foreign
goods make necessary. II is the unwclcOmc
fact that large proportion of the mills now at
work would be forced TO stop and the operatives
would have no wages whatever, If they should
refuse TO work at materially lower wages than
were paid under the former protective duties.

THE TARIFF MAKING MISCHIEF.

Two causes of apprehension in the textile
manufactures are mentioned this week by trade
journals. the frequency OF strikes. particularly
in wooen mills. and the frequency and impor-
lance of cancellations Both are evidences of
the incalculable injury done by the change in
the tariff. 1t is important TO understand these
movements, because they show the working Of
causes not by any means confined to textile
establishments.
The cancellations are partly unwarranted and
essentially dlshonorabc Having given orders
to domestic manufacturers some months ago. in
order to secure the goods they expected to need,
some buyers now cancel these orders and re-
fuse 10 take the goods because they find that
they can buy at less cost similar foreign goods
which. though not of as good quality may
nevertheless be made up and sold as readily so
that the consumer will be defrauded This Is
one side OF the case, and the large importations
OF goods mainly composed Of shoddy, which are
SO destitute of wearing qualities that il Is often
easy TO put the finger through them. show
plainly enough what sort of stuff some cothers
are preferring. But on the other side there is
desperate effort made by some Of the manu-
facturcrs 10 rival the shoddy users Of Europe
In their own field, in order to produce goods
here rs chcaply those offered by foreign
makers. Beyond question, some makers have
been turning out poorer goods than they ever

Rusk County in 1869 but against his service on
the bench in that capacity must be set his eA-
bibiton of the non judicial mind when he
forcibly thrust his foot against door in the
House of Representatives and kicked IL open.
Springer has never performed any judicial func-
lions and careful observation of his public
career of twenty years duration diScloses no
evidence that he is qualified therefor. The
plain truth is that Mr.. Cleveland has taken care
Of TWO cX-ReprescntativeS Of his party without
much regard for the interests of the people
whom the new Judges are to serve. 1t is not
an cdifying or satisfactory exhibition of the
appointing power
Mavor Strong began yesterday the rcorganiza
ton oc another important city department by
removing Dock Commissioner Andrew J. White
and appointing in his place Edward c. O'Brien
II is a great public gain to get rid Of Andy"
White whose appointment on the Dock Board
by Mayor Gilroy under peculiar circumstances
aroused serious suspicion in the public mind.
Commissioner O'Bricn has had considerable eX-
pericnce in official life having served as Com
missioner of Navigation under President Ilarri-
son. and his appointment by Mayor Strong was
warmly urged by citizens interested in the i'm
provement of our waterfront. He is we Judge
well fitted for his new office.
Special interest and importance will be at
tached by all people who do their own think
inc to the opinions Of eminent lawyers which
we publish this morning regarding the constltu-
tionality Of the LcXow Police bill. These opin-
ions bear the signatures Of Mr.. IIornblowcr,
Mr. Carter Mr.. Root. Mr.. Larocquc, Mr.. Par
sons and other leaders of the bar in this city.
They all agree that certain provisions of the
bill are hostile TO the Constitution and their
unanimous opinion TO that effect leaves little
doubt that the courts will so declare If the queS-
ton is ever brought before them. The mem
bers Of the Legislature may not hesitate 10
enact a bill knowing it to be unconstitutional.
but the people will not be slow in making up
their minds regarding a Legislature capable
Of such imbecily.
