After many months OF retirement. Will

party. which IS expected TO reduce all other

what Mr. Harvey thinks has been recog-

prospects are blighted az the outset how
ever. for il is announced that its special
mission viii ID to advance the cause Of free
silver, as well as 10 eliminate selhshness
from politics. At the start. therefore, Mr.
Harvey deals his new creation a verita0le
body blow, for by eliminating selhshness
from his creed. he az once an'agonizes the
great army OF silver mine owners, who
have hitherto constituted so largely the
sluew Of the free silver movement.
These new cohorts are 10 be known as the
Patriots Of America" and no officials of
the order are to receive pay, with one ex-
eepiion THIS Is another mistake. Mr.. Har-
veg is confirmed in the belief that one dol
lar can be made out Of 80 cents. and whila
he may not be converted 10 the !dea that
something can be created out of nothing,
he is evidently welded to the notion that
the workers In the new organization should
DO something for nothing. This may be all
right in theory. but the chances are that
the great body Of Mr.. Harvey's followers

patriots doesn't pay.

sErF-rSrEREsr JUsTIFIEs IT.

The secret OF much % the surprise ex-
pressed BY the British press at the appii-
cation OF the Monroe doctrine 70 Fene-
zuelan matters il that Great Britain re-
CARDS itself now. as it did in the time OF
Claiming, as IAN American power" Its
colony in North America and its p5sses-
s.ons or various kinds in South America

think, with The United States in matters
affecting this hemisphere. The American
people feel that England is an interioper
but the English people consider their
rights here. so far as they extend over
territory. fully equal 70 those OF this
government. The dispute. It claims, is
between Two American countries over 4
boundary-that IS. between British col
ony already established and An adjoin-
Ing government.
To that extent there Is much to be said
on the British side; but only from the
British standpoint. ~ the claim may be
sustained that Great Britain is an Ameri-
can power as the sovereign Of a colony,
then France and Spain are also American
powers. The sole question is whether En-
gland is entitled or not to the disputed
territory III she Is, then II Is her business

out between them. If not, then she IL, by
asserting claim TO territory which does
not belong to her on this continent, In
fringing the Monroe doctrine.
As # was understood IN Monroe's time.
there is very little left TO uncertainty.
Monroe, In his seventh annual message 70
congress. December >. 1873. put it into
words. which, by the way. are supposed to
have been written by John Quincy Adams:
with the existing colonies or dependen-
cies Of any European power We have not in
terfered and shall not interfere" II the
disputed territory is part OF the possessions
of England. the Monroe doctrine does not
apply. I'VE owe it TO candor." continues
the document, land 10 the amicable rela-
tions existing between the United States
and those (suropean) powers. 10 declare
that we should consider any attempt on

falls within the Monroe doctrine. Presi-
dent Cleveland declares MS purpose 10 be

times been selected, when their onlg quail
acatson for the place was in their wealth,
but sGch cases Lave really been notable
exceptions. The great majority % United
States senator's are today poor men, and
the erroneous idea which prevails IL some
quarters that the senate IS a house OF
wealthy lords has gained currency merely
because IN some lone Instance rich n-an
has been able TO control a state legisla-
tire OF weak character
II Is rather doubtful IL any greater pro-
gress II made IN the matter az this SESSION
Of congress than has been made in former
years. The proposed constitutional amend
rnent requires a two-thirds vote OF ooth
branches OF congress and the assent CT
th-ee-fourths OF the legislatures Of the
states. Two-thirds Of ths house OF repre-
sentatives will probably be secured as easily
a heretofore, but It Is doubtful II sem
ate elected By the present system VII vote
for the change unless there is greater e.
fort made to convince that body OF its nee
eszity than has been made in the last
The United States senate has never favored
radical changes, and it Will probably hest
tate about adopting the proposed one,
especially as It is not wholly clear and be-
youd dispute that the end sought would
give the country a better senate than Il
now has.
