Cleveland's Message, but Fears No Evil
Consequences, Depending Upon the Good
Sense and Ties of Kindred to Defeat the
Wordy Vaporings of Jingoism-Repub-
licans in Hole.
LONDON, Dec. 1s.-The Daily News,
commenting on President Cleveland's
message to congress on the Vene-
zuelan question, to-day says:
THE presidents communication is
remarkable document, though its con-
sequences are not likely to be serious.
Neither Mr.. Olney nor the president
seems to realize that the Monroe doc
trine can not be quoted as authorita-
tive in negotiations with foreign
power. The Monroe doctrine is now
purely of historical interest. The
Venezuelan difficulty must be consid-
cred on its own merits. The president
in his account of the doctrine surren-
ders the whole case. What Monroe
meant was that the United States
would resent any European attempt
to establish any monarchical sys-
TENS ON the American continent.
That was a serious considera-
tion in 1923; it is altogether
obsolete now. Mr.. Cleveland
begs the whole question and misrepre-
sents it besides when he says that this
country is seeking to extend the limits
of British Guiana. This country is do
ing nothing of the kind. Venezuela
claims territory that is now Guianese
and British. If to resist this claim
be breach of the Monroe doctrine that
doctrine is an intolerable pretense.
In the concluding portions of Mr..
Cleveland's message England is threat
ened with war unless she permits Mr..
Cleveland to arbitrate the boundaries
of Venezuela. Happily there is some
sense of humor in the American peo-
ans in hole. If they agree to the
appointment of a commission they
will give Mr.. Cleveland such credit as
belongs to it, and will enable him, or
the democratic candidate, to pose as
an accomplished twister of the lions
tail. If, on the other hand, they re-
fuse to agree to the commission, they
will give the democrats a chance of
accusing them of being servile friends

the American people will not be led by
any such motive or considerations.
The Chronicle says;
The message will be read in this
country with blank astonishment An

what territory a British colony can
call its own and failing our compliance
with its findings, war with Great Brit
ain 1t adds: I've cannot abandon
our settlers any more than President
Cleveland would his"
The paper conclud es thus: I'VE can
only express genuine regret at the tone
of the document, which meets no argu-
ment made by Lord Salisbury, and
which cannot obscure or defeat the af-
lection which subsists between the two
countries. the ties of blood that must
needs bind them in indissoluble union"
The Post says:
president Cleveland has outdone
the republican party in his efforts to
show dislike for this country, yet he
has not committed himself to anything.
The message does not make the slight
est attempt to grapple with Lord Sails
bury's argument The international
law tribunal that President Cleveland
asks the congress to set up can have
no more binding effect in this country
than would decision by the supreme
court at Washington.

to the money the exhibition would have
brought into the State there was no
amount large enough TO pay any State

be said The morals OF a people are

But while the truth is obvious, It is
also true that neither prize-nghting,

MORE EIGOJEN.

Cartain II. II. Cummings. department
commander of the Pennsylv ania Grand
Army of the Republic. made speech at
Westchester Pa, on FIiday last 10
very large gathering Of members OF the
Grand Army, In which he SAID that ne
had inst returned from the reunion oil
the Blue and the Gray. at Chattanooga.
From what he heard there, he said, he
did not think the concition looked much
az though the chasDI had been closed.
AS long. he said. as the people OF the
South taught their children that their
cause was a righteous one. though lost,
there was little hope Of their becoming
thorough patriots.
A man Of this sort is not to be reasoned
with. lie is a rarrow-minded bigot, full
of prejudice and hate, and argument Is
thrown away on him. II he had any
sense at all he would know that what
he expects of the Southern people is
utterly unnatural and therefore impos-
sible. lie must give the Southern peo-
ple credit for being serious In their be-
lief that they had the right of the quar-
rel. He cannot possibly believe that an
entire people would have made the des-
perate and prolonged contest they made
unless they were deeply in earnest. Be
leving. then. that they were sincere in
their faith. how can he expect them TO
teach their children that they were
wrong? What has happened 10 make
them change their opinion? II they
thought they were right while they were
actually fighting. is 1t possible for the
simple fact that they were defeated in
the fight TO change their opinion. and
make them think that they were wrong?
And If they still think that they were
right, is il natural or sensible for him
to expect them to teach their children
that they were wrong?
Men like Captain Cummings are bigots,
simply They expect all other men
to look at moral and constitutional ques-
tons from their standpoint, and they can
make no allowance whatever for the diff
ference in the schools in which men ere
taught. Questions OF mathematics and
economies are solved by reference to
fixed laws. But questions of state de-
pend upon opinion and surroundings. and
the man who IS fit to deal with them
at all must take into consideration en-
vironment and circumstance. Such ques-
tons are not TO be treated upon hard
and fast lines.
The youth of the South will never be
made patriots by commencing their edu-
cation with the lesson that their fathers
degraded themselves. You may tell
them that their fathers were unfortunate.
and Loyalty accepted a government that
they found themselves unable to resist,
ana you may then make them patriotic
citizens of that government But citi-
zen that is taught to be ashamed of its
forefathers. has a very slender founda-
ton upon which 10 build the edifce Of
either morality or patriotism.
