OPINIONS OF SOME VALUE.
Views of Ad miral G herardi and ex-Sec-
retaries Thompson and whitney.

bridgeport. Conn.,, Dec. 19.-Upon the
subject of President ClevelanTs message.
Rear Admiral Gherardi, retired. says: II
have read the Presidents message care
fully, and it cominends itself to the, as it
ought to every American citizen. 1t was
the only message that could be sent under
the circumstances. l do not believe that
there will be war as a result of the mes
sage, but still, such thing is possible. The
Monroe doctrine is one OF the bulwarks Of
the United States, and it must be defended
We cannot back down, and ths principle will
be adhered to.
I'm the event of war. the first thing to
be done by US would be to overrun Canada
and then overthrow commerce. This lat
ter would not be SO difficult as is supposed.
Englands commerce is carried in slow ves-
sells, and our commerce destrOyers could
easily overtake and destroy them.
1.-The Connecticut coast would probably
suffer, because England would uudoubt-
edly make display along the entire
seaboard. We must not go into war with
the hope of support from France or Rus
sia, for such aid would not come unless
those countries saw something for them
selves in it."
New York, Dec. 19.-Mr. William C.
Whitney has expressed himself einphati-
caily in regard to President CleveIand's
message. He says:
at is simply a renewed affirmation of
the Monroe doctrine. 1t expresses the
meaning and purpose of that doctrine.
Mr.. Cleveland's expression of it is clear.
concise and not by any means overstated
or Incorporate.
"Mr. Cleveland states our side of the case
very clearly. We keep our hands out Of
Europe and European rows on condition
that Europe shall keep her hands off this
continent. Without the Monroe doctrine
there would be nothing to keep the European
powers from dividing up South America as
they have divided up Africa. They would
SO divide it, undoubtedly, IL allowed"
Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 19.-Ex-Sec-
rotary of the Navy Thompson says it is
preposterous tn believe that the two great
Engiish-speaking peoples will go to war
over dispute as to a boundary line. That
line Willie determined b. peaceable methods.
AS to the broad question of defending the
Monroe doctrine, it is altogether improba-
BILE that any nation will be the aggressor>
in bringing on war. 1t is self-defense
with us, and no country.will force US to act
on the defensive.
Paris, Dec. 19.-M. Jules Simon, the
French statesman, says that notwithstand-
ing his sympathies with a sister republic OF
France, he cannot see how the Monroe doc
trine is applicable to the Venezuelan CON-
troversy. Replying to a suggestion that
President Clevelahd's action was a pOlit-
ical nlaneuver. he said that he thought that
such motive for the course folio wed by Mr..
Cleveland would be unworthy OF the Presi-
dent and degrading to the nation He was
he added, that pea cerul solu-
ton OF the question would be found that
would be honorable to both Countries.

SUIT A FIASCO.
New York sun and the Central New
Come Out u UIiscnt he'd.

London, Dec. l9.-Action brought by
Reuters Telegram Company against the
New York Sun and the Central News OF Lon
don came up in the Queens Bench division
OF the High Court or Justice before Lord
Chief Justice Russell today.
The Sun made no appearance, holding
that il the Reuter- Company wanted to take
legal action against the Sun they should
go TO New York, where that paper is pub
lished.
In regard to the Central News, the lord
chief justice dismissed the action, ruling
that there was no case against the de-
fendant. The Reuter- Company will conse-
quently have to pay the cost of the action.
which will probably amount TO about
E4O0. 4.
Tne action grew out of the alleged dis
seniinntion by, the Central News and pub
Iication by the Sun OF allegations of fraud
against Reuters International Agency, in
November, 1894, when petition was
filed in the court of chancery for an order
for the winding up of the affairs of the
International Agency, which had been
formed to acquire the advertising business
of Reuters Telegram Company.

Stage Lore From Dumas

"Celibacy, marriage and adultery-this is
the trilogy in which the life OF women strug-
giles. 1t is in this that poets ma y find eternal
dramatic subjects OF the threephases of the
tragedy the most painful is evidently the last
named"
butit NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF preventing and the right
OF verifying"
"The stage is logical and pitilcss; that is
why it makes so much use OF iaug hter and of
tears"
''One eshouldnever take one slaughter toa
playhouse. Not only the plays are immoral;
tile house itself is immoral
ITO express an idea, toformalatea theory,
to sustain an opinion in public, are things so
grave that ones conscience should never be
at rest if one be not absolutely sincere"
In Writing plays do not have the preten-
sion not to be mistaken. but the firm desire
not to deceive anybody"
Plays are not written only for those
who go to the theater. They are written
also for those who do not go to the theater"
THE spectator gives only success. The
reader gives fame"
"Playwrights who hole to live in the ru-
ture have not only to interest the public;
they have to win individuals"
ION the stage charm is more necessary
than truth"
ITO convince thousand individuals one
needs only to move them; to convince one
person it is necessary to convince him."
None can be dranlatist II 1t be not the
flesh and blood of humanity which he is dis
posed to give to those who lis ten and to those
who read"
''If the fall of your play wounds only your
conceit or your interest: If it does not trouble
your ideal and your convictions; il at the sec
Ond performance you are prepared to mod
ify your view, you may be perhaps an in
genious stage nlanager-you shall never be a
draniatist."
Wherever there are assemblies of men
there are souls to be won.'
Men and women go to the thea ter only

and the US that it has caused. All the other
interests of humanity remain at the DOOR"
