tical Pohstcs That Answer Flannasan's
Historical Question at Chicago.
, NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The World prints
this morning an interview with Richard
Croker, at London, in which he discusses
| American politics and presidential pres.
poets, including the third term question,
very freely. Croker has sailed by the Co
lumbia from Southampton for New York.
Croker was asked:
what do you think about third term
for Mr.. Clcvcland:''
| Cleveland and third term, eh? I am
AFRAID l cannot give you any direct answer
as to whether l shall support him or not.
II he received the Democratic nomination
OF course l should support him, but
whether should assist in obtaining the
, nomination for him is a matter which ]
have NOS decided; and do not eare to de-
eide or wish to discuss. understand that
business looks bright across the water,
which makes me think that Gieveland OF
any other Dc,nocrat-but Cleveland in
particular, if he be nominated-will b0
elected with a rush.
Third Term u Tough Corner.
| "Cleve!and's outspokcn attitude against
the silver men will do him good all over
the country. The great business interests
OF the United States can only. stand firm
on gold basis, and gold must be an in
violate plank in the Democratic platform.
In regard To the prejudice that exists in
very many peoples minds as to IA third
| term, that is Il very tough corner indeed
to turn. Grant discovered that. But pre-
| cedcnt can be made and then again pre-
| ccdcnt can bc broken ana another precc-
dent nado. Mr. Cleveland has not taken
me sufficiently into his confidence to have
| conflded to me his intentions regarding
| his acceptance or the reverse, but it is diff
| 1icult to conceive any man refusing the
lasting honor of being the first man to
| serve three terms Us president of the
| United States.
Whitney Would BE n strong Man.
| "Mr. Cleveland is no doubt as huiran as
the rest Of Us. But, as | said before,
a tough corner has to bc turned. Prejudice
has to bc overcome, and will it be. But
| l must say right here that think the pres
cnt adminis1 ration has been an era of
great prosperity to tha country, and tirat
| under M Cleveland have no reason to
believe that prosperity would not continue
| to increase"
And what do YOU think of Mr.. Whit
ney's clfances:" the reporter asked.
Il think il Mr.. Whitney We're nomin-
he would also be a very strong candidate.
He is an elegant geptleman,a "a man of good
| executive power and everything in his
past rebounds to his credit. Whether Tam
| many would support him or not l cannot
say. l have been too long absent, and
Can only suggest probabilities"

CONDITION OF THE MARKETS.
Features That Are Both Favorable and
Not so Favorable.


NEW YORK, sept. H.-Bruistrcct's says:
The week is characterized In trade circles
by an unexpected but no less pronounced
improvement south and southwest. Eela-
lively unfayorablS features are found In a
quicter tone in dry goods jobbing circles !;
IL check of scasJnabic tradr throughout
the central west, due to the unusual heat:
low prices for mems wea- woolcns, and
AN unsatisfactory outlook, due Il de
pressed quotations abroad; only moderate
orders for domestic wooacn nanufacturcs !;
cancellation of IL few Nebraska general
mcrchandis, orders at Chicago, and the
somewhat critical position Of the Aineri-
can tin plate Industry. -., ..
The most bullish report comes from st.
Louis, where there -rc many country buy
crs, and all lines of staple uerch,lrdise are
active. As the south fail trade is opening
UP more freely than anticipated, with
marked improvement j., business. Aside
from the firmncss of cotton goods prices,
which is Il tcatnrc in trade circles north
and cast, the most conspicuous movement
is the continued activity n IRON and steel,
the highest quotations yet reached having
no effect in restricting demands. Present
rate of production os pig iron exceeds 2Do-
600 tons weekly. the largest in QUE history.
At Chicago relatively more orders arc
received from the south and southwest
than ever before. Gross railway earnings
of l21 railroads for Augucs aggregate Si3,-

gust Il year ago, when there was a gain
of nearly per cent. over August, 1893.
Good gains are shown by the eastern,
granger and trunk lines in the order
named. The coal roads show the only i'm
portant decrease, although the earnings
of the central western, southern and
southwestern roads show a falling off
from August last year

Central America by Spain, or anv other
European country, would have been in
furious to the commercial interests OF
Great Britain. This, and other cOnsid-
erations in the same direction OF greater
or less Importance, prevailed, and Eng
land came out in open opposition to tho
scheme OF the Holy Alliance. She
sought to enlist the sympathy and CO.
operation Of the United States, whose
government was naturally very much
interested in the question. As Re
public, it could not view, except with
great displeasure, the extension OF the
reactionary movement to thi. continent
and so great was the power OF the ALI
ance that the United States, than
young nation and pioneer in free gov
ernment, was not entirely free ionm the
fear that the alliance would ultimately
extend its interference to ourselves.
For this reason the attitude al England
was viewed with great public approval
in this country; and while the United
States Government did not act on the
subject in the manner proposed by Eng
land, yet the president, with the advice
and approval OF his Cabinet, took the
position that the United States would
not approve OF the extension OF the OPP
erAtions OF the Holy Alliance to this
continent. What is called the Monroe
doctrine grew out OF the agreement he
tween the United States and England
on this subject of interference with the
governmental forms OF Spanish Ameri-
can countries December Forum.

Origin of the Popular American
Policy.
The original declarations In the Message
OF President Monroe to Congress
In 1898.

The Monroe doctrine is the collective
term applied to two declarations con-
tanned in the message OF President Mon
roe to the congress OF the United States
December ., 1928. The two declarations
are TO he found in different portions OF
the message, and are made with refer
ence to different subj matters; the
history Of one is different from that OF
the other, and the general principles
suggested by the two refer 10 entirely
different subjects. | will consider them
separately. The first declaration is as
folows:
At the proposal OF the Russian Imper-
ial Government, made through the Min
lister OF the Emperor residing here, a full
power and instructions have been trans
mtted to the Minister of the United
States at st. Petersburg, to arrange, by
amicable negotiation, the respective
rights and interests OF the two nations
on the northwest coast OF this continent.
A similar proposal has been made BY
His Imperial Majesty Ia he government
OF Great Britain, which has likewise
been acceded to. The government of the
United States ha- been desirous, bv this
friendly proceeding, of manifesting the
great value which they have invariably
attached to the friendship OF the Emper-
or, and their solicitude to cultivate the
best understanding with his government.
In the discussion to which this interest
has gwen rise, and in the arrangements
hy when they may terminate, the oc.
casion has been judged proper Tor assert.
ing, as a principle in which the right.
and interests OF the United States art
involved, that the American continents
by the free and independent condition
which they have assumed and main.
tanned, are hpnceiurth not to be con
sidercd as subjects for future colonza
ton by ANY European powers.
The same message contained the fol
loving language

system OF the Allied Powers is essential
ly different in this respect from that of
America. This difference proceeds from
that which exists in their respective gov
ernments. And to the defense of our
own, which has been achieved by the
loss OF so much blood and treasure, and
matured by the wisdom OF our most en-
lighlened citizens, and under which we
have enjoyed uneXampled felicity, the
whole nation is devoted. We owe it,
therefore, to candor and to the amicable
relations existing between the United
States and those Powers to declare that
we should consider any attempt on their
part to extend their system 10 any por-
ton of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety. With the exist
ing colonies or dependencies OF any
European Power we have not interfered
and shall not interfere; but with the
governments who have declared their
independence and maintained it, and
whose independence we have on great
consideration and on just principles
acknowledged, we could not view any
interposton for the purpose OF oppress-
ing them, or controlling in any other
manner their destiny, by any European
Power, in any other light than as the
manifestation OF an unfrendly DISPOSE
ton towards the United States.
Upon the downfall OF Napoleon, as
every student OF history knows, an al
lance OF European powers was formed
and became known as the Holy Alliance,
composed of Russia, Prussia, Austria
and France. The objects OF 'his alliance
were, among others, to sustain and ex-
tend monarchical principles as far as
possible, and especially to restore to
their throns the legitimate monarchs
who had been deposed by Napoleon, or
by their own subjects under the French
Revolutions. This was powerful alli-
ance, and accomplished much in the
direction indicated. In fact, Europe
WAS thoroughly reactonary 1T this time
Public constitutions had been subverted
and the people oppressed; Bourbon rule
was fully restored. At this point tn,
Holy Alliance turned its attention tC
the New World. The Spanish Ameri.
ran States had successfully revote'
from Spain, and were now in eXistenc,
as Independent governments. TIL,
Holy Alliance proposed to extend it
operations lot this continent, and to re
store Ferdinand to his revolted states
England was not a member OF the HOLY
Alliance, but was favorable to its gener
al principals and policy. To this par
ticular venture, however, she was yer,
much opposed. The general principle
of the Holy Allianc were in harmon.
