Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate from June 10,
1890, until the Democrats secured control Of
that body. He was a Representative from Ne

He was born in Iowa in IS43 but was setting

partition South American among them
as they have done Africa. France has
a project against Brazil, which is waiting
the decision of the Venezuelan matter.
With all her population Brazil is in no
condition to expel the French troops
from the territories claimed under the
merest pretext. Unless we assert the
Monroe Doctrine vigorously, the next %
years Will see every country south OF us
virtual dependency of some European
power.
We have not only patriotic sentiment
but the gravest considerations of self
interest to actuate us in maintaining a
firm stand at this juncture. We have
naturally regarded South America as
our own market, and that in time we
should build up an immense trade with
that region. Ifwe maintain the Monroe
Doctrine it will at once put us in posi-
ton of commanding influence, which
will be of the highest advantage in
building commercial relations with those
countries. But if we recede from our
position, then our influence with them
is gone forever, and we may as we'll
make up our minds to resign all hopes
of South American trade.

Mn. BAYARD is fresh exemplifca-
ton of the old maxim that there is moth
ing so dangerous to a man as his own
tongue. At his entrance into public
life, Mr.. Bayard made very bad break
by speech in favor of secession. The
raps he got for this seemed to have
taught him some sense, and for quarter
of century he maintained an owl-like
gravity, looked as If the wisdom of the
ages we're concentrated in him, and
alluded solemnly to his distinguished
ancestry, with vague hints that he drew
his Blood in an unbroken line from
Chevalier Bayard. Of course this was
all nonsense. The original Bayard-
Peter, by name, if we remember Alright
was French pedler, who settled in
Delaware, and became a political boss
in the three little back Counties which
constitute the State of Delaware. His
son inherited the bosship, and managed
to break into the United States Senate
This Senatorship has ever since been
regarded as the property of the family.
By studiously keeping tie company of
men of prominence and genuine ability,
and carefully maintaining the port and
seeming of a Presbyterian elder, he ac-
quired a reputation for sagacity and wis
dom. Now, nobody can recall that he
ever said or did anything to Justify this.
Unfortunately for him, he began to talk
after his arrival in England, and the
spell was broken. Every speech he has
made has been a fresh humiliation to
the American people.

rHE VENEZUELAN COMMISSION.

With commendable promptness Con-
gress has passed the bill for the Vene-
zuelan Commission, the President has
approved it, and we may expect the
announcement of the Commissioners any
day. This will have the best possible effect
in showing England that we are very
much in earnest in the matter, and that
the whole people, without regard to party,
are solid for the application of the
Monroe Doctrine to the Venezuelan dis
pute. In one sentence only the Presi-
dents Message was open to suspicion Of
weakness. That seemed to imply that
any settlement that Venezuela would
accept would be agreeable to us. The
truth is that we cannot accept any set
Element that involves the surrender Of
any portion Of territory rightfully be-
longing to Venezuela. The duty of the
Commission will be to examine carefully
what boundary was stipulated in the
treaties between Spain and Holland in
the 18th and 18th centuries, long
before Great Britain and Venezuela APP
peared as parties, and when this is
decided we must insist upon that
line at any cost. Venezuela simply
succeeded to the rights Of Spain, and
Great Britain to those of Holland. We
cannot allow Great Britain to have a
square mile more than Holland had. If
every man and woman in Venezuela
agreed to give her more it would make
no difference. The principle would be
Just as much involved as if they fought
against giving her an inch. The essence
prevent any European power from ac-
curing additional territory in this
hemisphere, or in any way interfering
with the independence and sovereignty
of the Governments established this side
of the Atlantic. 1t would not be diff
cult thing for England to buy up some
of the corrupt little Governments and
get from them an assent to an alienation
of territory, or perhaps the surrender of
their country's independence. This we
would not tolerate. We are not cham
pioning Venezuela so much as we are
resisting On principle the extension of
European influence upon this hemi-
sphere.
The National tribune., 1895-12-26
THE REAL ISSUE,

The dispute over the Venezuelan
boundary is only a small portion of the
real issue. The maintenance of the
Monroe Doctrine is much more than a
matter of National sentiment Vast
commercial relations and the shaping
of the whole future of South America
are involved.
1t is almost needless to point out how
all the leading European countries are
ravenous for foreign colonies and de-
Tendencies. They want these not so
much for political ACKNOWLEDGEMENT as to
furnish markets for their manufactures,
wealth for their business men, and en-
pIovment for their overlooking popula-
tons. They must have them to keep
their peoples busy and contented. Eng
lands marvellous success in this way in
India, and elsewhere, has set France,
Germany, Italy and Russia in fever
to do likewise. Within recent years
Russia has annexed territory nearly as
large as the United States, and is hungry
for more: England has seized Egypt
and greatly extended her boundaries in
Hindustan and Africa, France has
taken Cochin China, Tonquin, Algiers,
Tunis, Madagascar, Dahomey, the
Congo country, and other large slices
of Africa, and some islands Of the
Pacific; Germany has seized immense
territories in Africa, and some Pacific
islands, Italy has lately completed the
conquest of the ancient Kingdom of
Abyssinia, and has other possessions in
Africa aggregrating $4,000 square
miles-or about IA times the size of
Ohio-and having about 100000
people. All of them are looking on
the dying Turkish Government with
ravening eyes, and are ready to go to
war with each other over the division Of
China.
Central and South America have long
been great temptations to them. Be
tween Mexico and Cape Horn there are
IL independent countries, mostly weak,
torn by internal discussions, bankrupt
in treasury, but rich in territory and

SECRETARY CARLIsLE's report is out
at last, and would have been read with
more interest if people could have per-
suaded themselves he really meant any
thing that he said. There is no DISCUS
ing the fact that the distrust of the
Secretary's utterances is general and
profound. When he admits a deficit for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1895, of
S42,S05, 223,1S, everybody almost III
stinctively feels that it must be great
deal more than that, for it is not the
Secretary's custom to admit more than
half the truth. When he predicts that
the revenue this fiscal year will come
within 100000 of meeting expenses
equal to the past years, people are very
prone to recall what dismal failure Mr.
Carlisle's attempts at prophecy have
been.

have established their headquarters at a little
town named Spirit Sanetus-Holy Ghost.
Everywhere in Spanish America one finds such
names as Vera Cruz. The True Cross - Nom

Holy Savior" etc To a plain, blunt.
Anglo Saxon mind these seem in shock
ing taste. Holy Ghost, for example, is likely
to have just rs much wicksdncss about il as
any othe. small town. and the use Of the name
would be perpetual PROCLAMATION of a most
sacred thing. But the Spanish mind probably
sees these things differently.
Some prisoners at Springfield H., blew open
their jail-doors with dynamite and escaped.

must be more prompt with his pardous in

future prospects. These are:

To readily estimate and compare the
areas of these States let it be kept in
mind that the State of Ohio-which is a
fair-sized State-has, in round Plumbers,
Al 900 square miles. Thus Ecuador is
almost exactly three times as large as
Ohio, and little States like Guatemala
and Nicaragua are larger than that
prosperous Commonwealth.
Here, then, is field which seemed to
offer the greatest attractions to the diplo-
mats and merchants Of Europe. The
constant broils and the INSCRIPTIONS
character Of the men who attain to
power gave every opportunity for inter
ference, which would result by methods
well-known to diplomats in "protecto-
rates and finally acquisition Of the
countries that could be made profitable
dependencies The Monroe Doctrine
has heretofore stood sternly in the way.
Therefore, every Nation in Europe, ex-
cept Russia, has been anxious that that
principle be overthrow, and England's
performance in Nicaragua gave them
hopes that it could be done.
The actual test is to be made in the
Venezuela matter. If England is al
lowed to annex whatever she wants
under any trumped-up pretext other
countries will do the same, and soon

THE Presidents Message to Congress
on the financial situation had that dis
agreeable, schoolmaster-ofbad-boys tone
which characterized his communications
to the last Congress. This was great
mistake. That tone was not so much
out of place with the blathering mob
constituting the SD Congress. The
country rather approved of it. But
this Congress is made up of entirely diff
ferent material. 1t is composed of men
who feel that they have quite as much
honesty, intelligence, and patriotism as
President Cleveland, and are as we'll
acquainted with public affairs. They
will be far from submitting as tamely
to his lecturing as the sd Congress did.
BY subscribing to The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE you will get what you can find
In no other paper. The Monographs of
Gen. o. o. Howard are alone we'll worth
the price of the paper. The personal
Memoirs of Gen. w. T. Sherman"

heretofore only appeared in high

the many attractions the paper has for

as plums in a Christmas pudding, and
