IT'S A REBUKE.
Senator Sewell of New Jersey
Introduces
A Resolution in the Senate
Today
ON MONROE DOCTRINE.
It Declares the President
Pressed the Doctrine
On MONROE DOCTRINE.
Beyond What was Intended
When It was Framed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Mr. sSewell
(Rep, N. J.) introduced in the senate to-
day resolution on the Monroe doctrine.
The resolution declares that the presi-
dent has pressed the doctrine beyond
what it was intended, and that his inter-
probation of it will involve us in foreign
complications and virtually extend pro-
tectorate over Mexico and South Ameri-
can states.
QUESTION of territory by conquest was
limited, stated by Mr.. Webster, to
cases in which by reason of proximity,
such acquisition would be dangerous to
our safety and integrity of our institu-
tions.
That the true ground upon which the
Monroe announcement was based and
upon which any similar position has
been taken, rests for its justification up
on what may be our interests and our in
terests only; and that neither
by the Monroe doctrine, or any official
declaration have we ever come under any
pledge to any power, or estate on this
continent that binds us to act merely for
their protection against invasion or en-
croachment by any other power.
That when a case arises in which a
European power proposes to acquire ter
Rtory byinvasion, or conquest, ii is then
for US to determine whether our safety
and integrity demands that we shall re-
sist such action by armed force if neces-
sarv.
That the executive has pressed the
Monroe doctrine beyond what was con-
tempIated at the time of it's announce
ment and that the resultant sequence OF
the position thus taken seems to
be COMMUNAL of this government
to protectorate over Mexico and
Central and South American states. That
this would be most unwise and danger
Gus and would violate the sound and
we'll established policy that we should
avoid all entangling alliances with for
eign powers whether they be European
or American.

tive department i'll reference to
the Venezuelan boundary controversy
as to the course to be pursued when the
time shall have arrived for a final deter

to adopt such line of policy and to take
such action as may then be demanded by
our sense of duty to the country and by
a due regard for its honor and dignity,
the welfare and safety of our people and
the integrity of our Institutions.

PROPS. STILL EXCITED.
Teachers at Yale College Continue to Snort
at the Monroe Doctrine.

4S6Gn9ES at Ale ColleSG COnclnu ne to snort
at the Monroe Doctrine.
New HAVEN, Conn, Jan. 16.-Prof A.
Arthur Wheeler Of Yale college deliver
ed a remarkable lecture last night upon
the Monroe doctrine. He said the doc
trine was divided into two parts, the first
enunciated by President Monroe, and a
bogus doctrine developed and perfected
by President Cleveland. He said: sit
is the embodiment of insattate greed, in
ordinate selfishness and colossal bump
tiousness of large part of the Ameri-
can people,"
He described Henry Clay as being a
man of the foregoing characteristics and
said: ''He talked like an angel, and
acted like buccaneer with hemorrhages
of eloquence."
Prof. Wheeler said further: "Spain,
through the special dispensation of Pope
Alexander. the vice. gerent of the AL
mighty became the possessor of the des-
TIMES of three-fourths of the world. 1
don't know that we have 4. patent from
the Almighty unless it came lately
through Pope Grover l."
He declared that the act of President
Cleveland in shaking his fist under
Queen Victoria's nose was the ''act of
bully" and said America need have no
apprehensions of trouble through con-
tact with England.

cents bushel for kaffir for feed; they
are buying it for seed.
Three bushels of kaffir can be raised
on upland to one bushel of corn, provid-
ing the season is not unusually moist.
From a standpoint of feeding, six bush
els of kafir are equal to about five bu-
shells of corn. but taking the fod-
der and everything ~they are of
about equal value for feed. The average
Kansas year upland will produce about
fifteen bushels of corn and about forty or
forty five bushels of kaffir.
Corn will do very well until the drouth
comes and then it withers up and dies.
When the drouth comes kaffir corn will
stand sill. 1t will not grow any, but it
will keep healthy. When moisture re-
turns it will start in where it left of and
grow on to maturity as if nothing had
happened.
