Out Of the flood of opinions, mostly
ludicrous and nearly all arrogant,
evoked from the English press by re-
cent diplomatic complications 1t Is with
surprise and pleasure that we pick ore
which, barring certain probably nat
ural strain of assumed superiority, Is

breadth and accuracy. This exceptional
deliverance is found in the Speaker, Of
London, which in the course of q long

our foreign policy says:

Assert American Rights.

An honest and sincere attempt by
the present administration to sustain
the traditional position of this GOV
ernment with reference to its para
mount influence in affairs relating to
the three Americas would unquestion-
ably be reinforced by public senti-
ment irrespective of party lines. The
attitude which honest citizenship must
ever assume in such an event is thus
lucdly defined by the patriotic elltor
of the Republican Philadelphia Press.
who. If small standards governed his
utterances would rather resort to criti-
cism and partisan haggling:
For seventy years this country has
claimed an especial right to speak on
all affairs relating to the western hemi-
sphere. it is this right which permits
and requires us to speak with author
| ain and Venezuela, just as the United
States spoke with authority In a dis
| pute between France and Mexico. If
| Lord Salisbury has challenged this
right 1t will be the clear duty OF Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Olnev to
assert il in unmistakable terms NO
other course Is possible. be the conse-
quences what they may. on this clear
issue, whether this country has or has
not right to speak and act In all af-
| fairs relating to North and South
| America possessed by no other nation.
Great Britain not excepted, the Ameri-
can people are of one mind. There are
very few things short of our own self
defense for which this peace-loving ma
tion would go TO war. This is one of
them. No utterance can be too decld-
ed, no warning too grave, no action too
vigorous to use in defense Of this right,
and If President Cleveland and Secrc-
tary Olney will but assert this right
with courage and decision the united
American people wiz utand behind
them.
This grave issue. If 1t has been
raised by Lord Salisbury, altogether
overtops and overrldes the lesser issue
involved In the precise limits of Vene-
zueula and British Guiana. The mere
boundary dispute Is our affair only as
friendly and interested spectators un-
less the boundary question raises the
right of the United States to act and
speak with authority on all questions
which involve either the independent
administration or the territorial integ-
rty of any American republic In dis
putes with an European power. 1t Is
Indispensable to distinguish and dis
crlminate between these issues. The
United States at present cannot and
ought not to act az qua rdian and pro-
tector of the twenty countries which
form the American system-includng
Samoa and the Hawaiian republic in
this mber-in every dispute which
arises in their foreign relations or over
the precise limits Of their territory.
the United States ought at all times
and on all proper occasions to assert
and maintain the right to speak with
an authority possessed by no other
power on any diplomatic issue affect
ing any of these twenty states. their
territories and their administration,
whenever, in the judgment of the
United States. such an issue appears
likely to impair their independent ac.
ton or affect their territorial integrity.
This Is the essence of the Mon
roe doctrine
