British Press Comment on
the Message.
The Views Advanced by President
Cleveland Are Vigorously Com.
batted-The Monroe Doctrine a
Matter Only of History Now, tho
Newspapers Claim.

London, Dec. 1s.-The Daily News,
commenting on President Cleveland's
message to congress on the Venezuelan
question, will to-day say: "The presi-
dents communication is a remarkable
document, though its consequences are
not likely to be serious. Neither Mr..
Olney nor the president seem to realize
that the Monroe doctrine cannot be
quoted as authoritative in negotiations
with foreign power. Both of them
are certainly as far as possible from
suspecting that the real author of the
doctrine was Canning, not Monroe.
GREAT Britain in 1882 was Jealous of
the Spanish encroachments in South
America and induced Monroe to protest
against European aggression on Ameri-
can soil. The seventy-two years that
have since elapsed have entirely
changed that situation. The Monroe
doctrine is now purely Of historical n
terest. The definition of the doctrine.
however, is matter for the Americans
themselves 1t binds nobody else.
The president in his account of the
doctrine surrenders the whole case. 1t
follows from the message that Guiana.
and indeed, Canada, have no right of in
dependent existence on American soil
The concluding portions of Mr. Cleve.
land $ message are not expressed in
the language usually employed by one
friendly power to another. They are
aggressive, even menacing. England is
threatened with war unless she permits
Dir. Cleveland to adjust the boundaries
OF Venezuela. Happily, there is some
sense of humor in the American people

nccarded as a party move, the message
is not unskilful. 1t puts the republic
cans IN hJ!e."
With Flank Astonishment.
The Chronicle will say: 1.-The mes
sage will be read in this country with
blank establishment. An American
commission to determine what terri
tory British colony can call its own,
and failing our compliance with its
finding. war by land and sea with
Great Britain. Can these be serious
words addressed to us by the descend
ants of the little shipload of English
folks who sailed in the Mayfower? We
will not take things too seriously.
We will suppose that the president is
engaged in the familiar work of twist
ing the lions tail. There is one answer
to President Cleveland and America.
If AN enlarged application of neglected
doctrine is to be enforced with all the
might of the United States at least let
US be assured of the correlative that
the United States will make itself re-
sponsible for the foreign policy of all
the petty. impetuous little states on
the two continents of America. There
is no international right without cor
responding duty. We can only express
genuine regret at the tone of the docu-
ment, which meets no argument made
by Lord Salisbury, and which applies
a threat of force from daughter
state to the motherland over an OBJ
scure, trumpery dispute in which the
United States has no real interest, but
the message cannot obscure of defeat
the affection which subsists between
the two countries, or break the ties of
blood that must needs bine them in in
dissoluble union"
OutdGne the Republicans.
The Morning Post says: president
Cleveland has outdone the republican
party in his effort to show his dislike
for this country, yet he has not COM
mitted himself to anything. The inter
national law tribunal that President
Cleveland asks congress to set up
can have no more binding effect on this
country than would a decision by the
supreme court at Washington.
Clevcland's Position Prcposterous
The Standard says: Most Englishmen
will read the message with unfeigned
astonishment. The position taken by
Mr.. Cleveland is preposterous. There
can be only one answer to such de-
mand. We decline to humiliate our
selves and refuse to accept the decision
of the United States executive in mat
tiers altogether outside of his iurisdic-
ton. As British subjects have settled
up to the Schomburgb line, we cannot
possibly withdraw our protection and
leave them to the risks of the revolu-
tions and lnierUle of the republic; but
beyond the pale Of settlement we are
quite willing to accept arbitration. BY
the same rule the United States might
be asked to submit their title to Alaska
to the Judgment OF impartial umpires.
Congress would Indignantly reject such
a demand SO will the British govern
ment reject the present demand"

THE USEFUL HAT-PIN.
Women Employ 1t as Weapon of Of
Tense and Defense.

Women Employ 1t as Weapon of Of
Tense and Defense.
'"The idea of making the hat pin
weapon of defense first dawned upon
me when | was in the east" says a
bright-eyed dame. who is always
watching for a chance to exploit Cali
fornia, climate. morals and all.
"Of course, you all know that wom-
an can't so about alone with any de-
q e OF comfort when she pets away
from wes' ern chivalry. Well, as l
wanted to study art in New York while
| visited my brother in Newark, was
obliged TO use the suburban trains al
most every day. | had a bookful of
unpleasant experiences before learned
the magic power of that simple little
hat-pin.
FINALLY man who was packed be-
side me in car became simply unen-
durable. | squeezed myself meekly up
against the window, giving mine enemy
threefourths of the seat. Gazing out
into the darkness | became positively
depressed and felt like offering an
apology to somebody for presuming to
cum5er the earth.
Mine enemy made the mistake of
"ncroaching still further upon my ter
ritory.
1T was too much. My wrath blazed
up and | drew my hat-piH. | said not
a word and did nothing to attract at
tentiCn. Nevertheless that man was
glad 10 yacate my full share of that
seat, and perhaps a little more. held
my weapon in a position which indi-
Gated to him the boundary line. and |
assure you chat he understood the in
situation and left me in peace. Ever
since that day have been as indie
pendent and self-respecting as Span
ish senoIta with a dagger in her honi
soft. etc"
This fiery little anecdote, told over
the teacups was followed by perfect
chorus of sto .es of the uses of the hat
pin. The picking of locks, the Office of
cau-opener, paper-cuttcr, insect-de-
Stroyer, these were among the lesser
things. A tale of the repairing of
broken harness at critical iuncture

of the timely mendng of a torn sail.
