The British have taken their turn
at telling Cleveland and Gresham to
mind their own business. The last
years have been SO full of foreign in

our citizens must be ashamed to ac-
knowledge their native land when
abroad. The "Monroe doctrine" in
the hands of men like Cleveland and
Gresham is as useless as an idea would
be in the head of a chrysanthenum

New York presents a striking
contrast to Brooklyn since the
efforts to enforce the Sunday sa-

number of prisoners at Jefferson

tiary. Belleview Hospital prison

BAYARD'S CASE.

Mr.. Bayard cannot fiatter himself
that he is simply the victim ofrepubli-
can attack. Even the New York Her.
aid, with all its free trade sympathies,
assails him with meat AK. The ma
jority of the house was right, it says
i'm not considering the Bayard case
one calling for impeachment, adding
this savage thrust: "a nation i'm
peaches traitors and turns fools. adrift. F"
TO impeach him, it observes, would be
like breaking butterfly on a wheel.
This seems to be the prevailing opin-
ion. The Herald states the case plain
ly when it says: Mr.. Bayards conduct
is as inexcusable as it was undignifed
on the part of one of one of our high
est diplomatic representatives abroad.
Just at the moment when his presence
at the embassy was most important in
consequence of the Venezuelan and
other urgent matters, he left his post
of duty and went off to Scotland to
lecture on protection and other sub
jects with which he had no concern.
The amazing partisan harangue IN
which he denounced one of the great
parties of his country as being "allied
with combinations called trusts" and
as representing policy which "has
Slapped the popular conscience by Civ
ing corrupting largesse to special class
es," and which throws legislation into
the political market where jobbers and
shoppers take the place of statesmen"
may be parallel in the reports of west
ern stump speeches, but is, fortunately,
unprecedented in dignitied diplomatic
annals.
1t was brought out In congressional
debate that when Mr.. Blaine was Secre-
tary of State the question of prohibit
ing our representatives expressing Opin-
mons on home affairs was preached,
when Mr.. Blaine remarked: mo; we
will never have an American diplo mat
ic officer who will go abroad and dis
grace us by discussing the affairs of
his own country before foreigners" 1t
seems that the very man who had been
his immediate predecessor as Secretary
of State was to disgrace as In precisely
that way. The longer he remains ian
American diplomatic officer" the more
obloquy will he bring upon himself.

to private life the sooner will the man.

ACTIVE PREPARATIONS FOR wAK-$Ioo,-
900, 900 for DEFENSE.

Washington, Dec. 18.-To. day SEES
sion of the National house did not last
All hour but tits ufiiced for the passage OF
a bill authorizing tho president to APP
point commission to Investigate the
Venezuelan boundary and appropriate
100000 for the expense of the COM
mission. The bill which carried into
effect the presidents message, was pre-
pared by Mr.. Hit (Rep. of Ill.) this
morning and met with the approval
of Speaker Reed. Although several
republican leaders expressed them
selves in conversation as favoring the
reference Of the presidents message to
the committee Oh foreign affairs, MIR.
Boutelie. of Maine, WAS the only one
who voiced tile view oil the floor.
Speeches for the bill were made by Mr..
Hit aud NJ Crisp. Th-re was no
vote against it AMI considerable APP
plause was given to the patriotic refer.
ences in the speech.
The senate shared the general senti.
mentsof belligerency prevalent to day,
and from the outset of the session the
measures proposed breathed spirit Of
! patriotism aud of preparation for any
emergency that might arise concel ming
Venezuela. The first bill introduced
was that of Mr.. Chandler, Of New
Hamshire, providing an appropriation
of $1t0 100000 for a heavy increase OF
armament. This was quickly followed
by propositions authorizing the secre-
tary os war to purchase late device of
heavy battery, and for report on the
feasibility of equipping for service the
old ship Constitution. Mr., Hill of
New York added to the suggestions by
asking immediate consideration for a
bill making ex-Confederates eligible to
service in the army and navy. Aside
from these bills inaugurating legisla-
ton, the day passed without decisive
action on the Venezuelan question.
AS further expression on the SUBJ
ject of British encroachment, the SEN
ate agreed to resolution introduced
Mr. Davis, calling on the president for
information as to British or Canadian
occupation, military or civil, of any
part of the United States territory of
Alaska. Throughout the day the SELL
ate galleries were crowded beyond their
caprcity, showing the keen public in
terest in the late developments OH the
British Venezuelan question.

land in his message, so far as it relate d
to financial matters, being an apology
for the bond policy of the administra-
ton and an argument in favor of the
retirement and cancellation of the

criticism that was made of the presi

report. The tenor of his report can

ate practical aspects OIL the question,
for he certainly knows that there is not
the remotest chance that such legisla-
ton as he proposes can get through
the senate, even If it could be passed
by the house. The simple fact that
it cannot get through the senate will
be decisive as to the house. When
both branches of congress were demo-
cratic similar propositions OF the ad-
mlnistra.ion failed. The secretary, as
well as the president, doubtless fully
understands the situation, and his rec
concentrations are made, not with the
hope or notion that they will be acted
on by congress, but for effect upon pub
lie opiniOn--as an educational process.
Whatever may be the thought OF the
secretary's arguments In this relation,
the fact remains that the executive has
chiefly to do with the practical bust
ness Of carrying on the government
under the laws. The situation is that
the treasury is embarrassed. There Is
now, as there has been for two years,
an enormous monthly deficit OF reve-
nues. The expenditures exceed there.
venues. The revenues areinsufficient.
The secretary's report in the very be-
ginning shows that the deficit for the
last fiscal year was $42,8o5, 224. 1t can
hardly be less for the current fiscal
year. The secretary, it is true, guesses
that in year or two, with the return
of business to normal conditions, the
revenues under the present laws may
be sufficient, but it is only a guess.
The secretary's estimates heretofore
have been wide of the mark. Obivi-
ously, as a pure matter of business,
the thing to do is to provide sufficient
revenue to at least meet the current
expenses of the government. This
would certainly be some help prob
ably great help. And. what is equally
to the point, it is possible to get such
legislation through congress. Strange.
ly enough, the secretary addresses his
argumentative energies TO a PROPOSE.

through congress, and not only does
not emphasize q possible remedy, but
argues against it. He busies himself
exclusively with what cannot be done
with what he knows cannot be done
and neglects and even discourages
what can be done. 1t is not business

common sense. But it nevertheless
seems to be the deliberately adopted
policy of this administrations Sioux
