TUESDAY EVENING. JAN 81. 1896.
Tar Ec1nir a leading Partisan news.

THE Eclair, a leading Partisan news
paper, alludiug to the report of the
foreign relations committee ofthe Q. S.
Senate in favor of resfirming and ex-
tending the scope Of the Monroe doc
thine, says;
Does the American government
think it is strong enough to appropri-
ate in its own interest one of the two
hemispheres, aud forbid Europe to have
access to at least half of the world? II
it pushes its extravsgant pretensions to
this point. the only thing that can hap
pen will be that all Europe will arrive
at an understanding by which they will
close their ports to American ships, q
measure which will make America
ask for mercy within g week Why
does America assume an attitude she
cannot maintain ="
This states the case in few words,
snd, what's more, the statement Is
made, not by paper printed in England,
with which the President hss raised the
dispute, not by a paper that sup
ports monarchical government,
but by one published in the cap
iial OF the most powerful republic
in the world, except that of this coun'
try. Such an assumption as that pro.
posed by the report referred to, would
almost necessarily involve this country
not only in one, but in many wars, II
all of which, all the other civilized na
tons would take the part OF its oppo'
nents, and in none of which could ii
succeed, An attempt of this govern
ment to exercise a protectorste over
one-half of the earth would not onl.
be absurd, but gro;esquely absurd.
