The Monroe doctrine called. which de-

forced for seventy-five years by all adj
ministrations, and conspicuously by General
sister republic Mexico. England is the
only monarchy now prospecting for terri
tory on the continent, as would appear
from her exorbitant demand for indemnity
on Nicaragua, as well as her demand for a
part of venezuela's territory, and it is inn
portant that the American people should
know whether the present administration
proposes to maintain their traditional poll

being on the wrong side more times on

American Union, and hauling down the flag
of the great Republic. Does he mean to de-
cline TO resent the aggressions OF the Brit sh

word to the humiliation suffered by Japan
through the atrocious violation of the sane
