The Right Doctrine.
From the Philadelphia Press.

We do not hesitate to say that we should
be- gratifed to support the administration
in all matters touching foreign affairs.
All partisan feeling ought to end mt our
own shores. We have sufficient ground
for partisan contention in our domestic
differences We ought to be able to pre-
sent a single and united front upon all
questions which concern our relations
with other lands. A vigorous. patriotic
American administration would permit
this. When such a true American as Will
lam l.. Marcy, Democrat though he was
In politics, was secretary of state his po-
lltiCal opponents were constrained to sus-
tain his foreign policy. When James G.
Blaine was secretary hosts Of his political
opponents upheld and applauded his uni
form assertion of American principles
and aspirations. We ought to stand to-
gether when we face the outside world,
and we Will do so If those who administer
our foreign affairs win give us half a
chance. We rejoice that the present adj
ministration, after compelling much criti-
cism, has given us one opportunity of pre-
senting'a solid American front.

LEGISLATIVE TOPICS.

Harrisburg March 2l.-A Washington
special says: The boom inauguratcd here
fayoring the nomination of Governor
Hastings, of Pennsylvania, for president
next year, seems To be spreading. NOT
only are the politicians discussing his
chances, but all the daily papers are de-
voting some space to this, the new dark
horse. An evening paper virtually pre-
diets his nomination in u manner similar
to that of Governor Hayes, of ONO, at
the Cincinnati convention in 1876. Ii says:
Senator Quay is in earnest about pushing
HASTINGS to the front. He believes that the
convention of 1896 will be Il repetition OF
that of 1876. In that memorable contest
there were seven candidates. There were
James G. Blaine, of Maine; Roscoe Conk-
ling, of New York; Oliver +. Morton, OF
Indiana; Joseph X. Hawley, of Connec-
ticut; BENJAMIN III. Burton, of Kentucky;
John i. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, and
Rutherford Il. Hayes, of Ohio. 1t was the
field against Blaine. Seven ballots We're
taken and the weakest man in the bunch,
Hayes, landed a winner. In the conven-
tion next year there will again most likely
be seven candidates, perhaps eight. These
will be Reed, of Maine; Morton, of New
York; Harrison, of Indiana Mckinley, of
Ohio; Allison, of Iowa; Burrows of Michi-
gan; Lincoln, of Illinois, and Hastings, of
Pennsylvania. Reed will be the leading
candidate, as was Blaine twenty years
ago. Senator Quay is firmly of the opn-
ion that Governor Hastings will occupy
the same relative position that Governor
Hayes held in 1876, that of the candidate
upon whom the field could unite upon TO
defeat the favorite.'

What of the rlonroe Doctrine ?

The difficulties besetting this govern
ment because of its part in attempting
to arbitrate the territorial differences
between Venezuela and Nicaragua, just
now the subject of cabinet discussion
at Washington, with England, Ger
many, France and Belgium disposed to
take hand in the game, lend peculiar
interest to a bold suggestion recently
made by Francis Wayland Glen in a
letter TO the New York Sun. It is moth
ing less than that the destiny of the
United States is toward United North
America.
The first to come into this federation
will, he thinks, be Canada. The cheap
ness of such a government as con-
trasted with the excessive cost of the
present government of the dominion, is
an important consideration urging to
this end. Other points of ofevidence or per-
suasion are enumerated as follows:
The abolition Of the state church, the
secret ballot, one days polling, the
holding of elections on the same day
in all ridings, representation according
to population, the creation of town.
ship, town, city. and county councils,
the reduction of the financial qualifica-
ton for the exercise of the franchise

tion at the cost Of and under the direc-
ton and control of the state, the adop-
ton Of the federal principle in creating
the dominion, a decimal currency, the
net ton as the legal ton, and last. but
not least, the adoption by the courts Of
Canada of legal decisions given or con-
flrmed by the higher courts of this re-
public in preference to those of the
courts of Great Britain, unless they
were binding upon the courts of Can
ada from the nature OF the issues in
volved. With Canada's entrance into
the union will naturally, of course,
come the whole of British North Amer
lea. The absorption Of Mexico is not
foretold by Mr.. Glen, but It would prob
ably come. in due time.
Meanwhile, turning from this delight
full fancy picture to the immediate
realities, what is to be done to enforce
the Monroe doctrine? Shall any
European power be permitted to extend
its sphere of influence on this hemi-
sphere? Do we, as n nation, possess
the spunk to stand boldly up to the
mark laid down by James Monroe? If
we accept Mr.. Glens picture as posi-
bic of eventual realization, 1t seems
to us that sturdy insistence upon the
scrupulous enforcement Of the Monroe
doctrine Is essential to the welfare of
this republic and to its future devel-
opment unhampered by meddlesome
outside Interference. The stiffening Of
the backbone of our diplomacy in this
dlrectionis consummatlon devoutly to
be wished.

The Case of Moves VS., Dana.

At the time Of the bringing, by Mr.,
II. 3. Noyes, of an action in libel against
Mr.. Charles A. Dana, The Tribune de-
plored the tone Of the article, in Mr..
Dana's paper, at which Mr.. Noyes took
offense. 1t does so yet. The conditions
of honorable business competition do
not include any necessity for the per-
sonal traducing of honest competitors;
and until proved otherwise. Mr.. Noyes
must be regarded an honest man.
Unfortunately for Mr. Noyes, he has
permitted himself to be misguided into
making an effort to haul Mr.. Dana, for
trial, not before Jury of the vicin-
age" which is his natural right, but
before remote court situated many
miles from New York, in the district of
Columbia. This effort Is based upon
the deposition that 800 copies of the

friendly to the administration:
While Secretary Gresham has thus sud
denly ruptured our relations with Hawaii
on the ground that Minister Thurston
gave out some news prematurely, there is
no doubt that the incident Is the culmina-
ton of the lack of cordiality entertained
by the administration toward the minis
ter. Mr.. Thurston first fell under the ban
by presuming to reply to the bitter at
tacks made by Special Commissioner
Blount upon the Hawaiian government,
and he has been aggravating this dislike
by his intimate relations with those who
did not sympathlze with the administra-
tons Hawaiian policy. He was a con-
stant visitor at the capitol during the de-
bates in the senate upon Hawaiian affairs,
and it was suspected that much of the in
formation used against the administra-
ton in debate came from him. He has
also been very American-like in his talks
with newspaper correspondents. sparng
no words in defending his country, and
unhesitatingly discussing Hawaiian az
fairs in order to give the people of the
United States q clear understanding of
the various situations which have arisen.
In other words, our enlightened diplo-
macy, impotently falling to seat a
blood-thirsty barbarian wanton on the
throne Of Hawaii, over the ruins Of
republican government; beaten at every
point in its incomprchenible conspiracy
of infamy touching the government
presided over by President Dole, and
smarting under a home castigation vir-
tually unanimous among the people,
now seeks an escapement for it's rage
by pouncing upon the Hawaiian min
lister, who is snubbed and badgered,
and put out of Office for the tremendous
offense Of giving news to the news
papers!
Great work, this, for American states

Social Club Sideboards.

A bill has been reported to the senate
from committee which proposes to regu-
late the sale of liquors in social clubs by
requiring the taking out of a license
through the courts. 1t provides that clubs
having 100 members or any fraction there
Of are to pay a license fee of slOO, and for
every additional 100 members or fraction
thereof an additional fee of $50, provided
that no club shall be required to pay more
than $1,000. No club shall be allowed TO
sell liquors to other persons than its
members, nor to minors, and a club not
licensed which shall sell or dispense
liquors to any person shall be subject to Il
fine of $50 for each offcnse.

From the New York Sun,
1t IL interesting to remember that the
Hon. william C. Whitney might have
been secretary of state at the present
time, had he consented to occupy that
post. His reasons for refusing to take
any office under Mr., Cleveland were rn-
doubtedly sound, and creditable to him-
self. Nevertheless, thousands of Amerl-
cans who have read with pride and satis-
faction Mr.. Whitney's patriotic message
to the editor of the New York Times can
not help looking back now, with immeas.
ureable regret. to the unfortunate COM
bination of events which put Walter q.

the gravamen of his case to the fugitive

on the contrary have 1t embalmed for

circulated in that district. Upon this
principle, Mr.. Dana could be taken
for trial to Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
New Jersey. in fact, to any or all of the
states and territories of the United
States; to Canada, Mexico. the South
American states, and to nine-tenths of
the civilized countries of Europe, Asia,
Africa and Australasia, in all of which
the Sun is circulated. Independent of
the merit of the original issue, this
principle of attempted kidnapping under
cover of the law stands forth as utterly
intolerable. To concede it would be to
sacrifice not simply the freedom of the
press, but, indeed, the very existence of
the press along lines of public spirit
and public usefulness.
We guess that Mr.. Dana would now
have been sorry for the remark origin
ally made concerning Mr. Noyes-for
may it not, after all, have been merely
an ebullition of temper had 1t not
been for the circuitous method en-
ployed by the latter to obtain redress.
AS 1t is, Mr.. Noyes has reused the lion,
not only in the Sun office. but in news
paper sanctums everywhere. His per-
sonal hurt is trivial by comparison with
the injury which he would intlict upon
the business of journalism; and If he ac-
cordingly sustans loss of sympathy
it will be owing to his own lack of fore
sight and judgment.
