TIE STREET. LAMPS.

At the very best the light shed by
the street lamps is not dazzlingly bril-
liant, but when a large portion Of the
town is shut off for a very considerable
part of the night from such street
lighting as we have, the case becomes
worse For some cause or other the
street lamps in the = ourth rfeels :,
including Brigham street, are not
lighted when the lamps in other parts
of the town are. What the reason for
this is we do not know. We have
heard it urged in excuse or extenuation
of such a condition of affairs that some
of the machinery of the power house is
broken, and that it is necessary to get
the needed parts from the East. This
may be so or it may not, but all the
while the city is being deprived of
light that it has contracted for and
will no doubt pay for.
We have pretty strong notion that
the real trouble is that the company
has covered more ground with wires
than it can properly supply with cleo
tricity with it's present power house
CapdclLy. 1llIS VIEW VIII Aol pe new lo
the company for the suggestion was
once made in one of it's meetings. At
that time it had reference to house
lighting and not to the street lighting.
1t is so reasonable and affords such a
full explanation that it may be doubted
if it is necessary to seek further one.
AT all events. large portion of the
city for very considerable time each
night is deprived Of street lighting.
Such a condition of affairs is an i'm
position on the people and should be
remedied.

PROMPT ACTION.

If anything can prove to European
statesmen and press that there is more
in the stand taken by President Cleve-
land in relation to the Monroe doctrine
than sly game of politics, the prompt
response which a Republican Congress
has made to his request for the ap-
pointment of a commission ought to do
it. The day following the Presidents
message, the House of Representatives
unanimously passed a bill creating the
commission asked for and making an
appropriation of 100000 to defray its
expenses The bill thus passed was
sent to the Senate and after two days
discussion it also passes that branch
of the national legislature without a
dissenting vote. 1t is true that there
were two or three feeble attempts
during the Senate discussion to amend
the bill. but finally they were with
drawn and the House bill passed.
This was the action of a Republican
Congress in response to the recommen-
dation of a Democratic President: and
it ought to convince Europeans that
while Americans are Jealous partisans,
there are a few subjects upon which
they are united, and the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine against the
world is one of them.
The law creating the Venezuela
boundary commission only lacks the
signature of the President to make 1t
a reality. There can be no doubt but
Mr.. Cleveland will be as prompt as
Congress has been both in signing the
bill and appointing the commission.
Then will come the Investigation and
the report which the government of the
United States will undertake tc sus-
tain. After the report of that COM
mission it will depend on the action Of
England whether or not there will be
further unpleasantness and whether
she will settle it by arbitration or war.
When the European press said that
President Cleveland's message on the
Venezuelan boundary question was
merely "a political trick to win votes
for the Democrats. we were of the
opinion that the high tide of aibsurdity
had been reached. But we were mis-
taken. There is a paper in France
that carries aibsurdity Ito still greater
heights. and its comment is thought
Of sufficient Importance to be sent out
by the Associated Press dispatches.
This is Mr.. T. P. O'Connor's Sun. 1t
says:
The southern states must be reck-
oned with. Yankee is yet q term OF
reproach in the South, and the tat
tered war flags of the capital Rich-
mond) are revered and sacred relics.
The name of Jefferson Davis is a
greater one to coniure with than
Cleveland. There are men yet living
in the South who dream that the stars
and bars will one day wave above the
stars and stripes.
One would scarcely think that in
France that boasts of her enlighten-
ment. journal could be found that
would publish such trash as that.

The Real Issue,

The real issue involved in the present
controversy with England over Vene-

to Venezuelan territory are well founded
or not. 1t is whether England shall be

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
VIII Make it international La,

AS to their contention that the Monroe
doctrine is not a part of international
law it is of comparatively little conse-
quence whether they are right or wrong.
The important point is that we propose
TO make it a part. Perhaps it is no part
of International law that England shall
set down by Venezuela and calmly de-
your that little state at her leisure. Yet
England is doing it.-Chicago News.

THE ENGLISH press Is relying on the
good sense Of the American people to
avoid a serious rupture in the present
crisis. This is very. proper, but the
English press should be sure it is not
relying upon it's own misconception of
what the American good sense is.

And this is to be said for Secretary
Olney: He has handled the question in

of American policy on record. On this
question the people are with the Presi-

Clean Cut DOCTRINE.

The Presidents message is not only
strong appeal TO American pride and pa

clean-cut and vehement enunciation of
the Monroe doctrine, which in his hands
is vitiliZed as never before since it's first
mulgation.-Chicag Chronicle.
