 Some of the tory critics allege that President Cleveland's message is very different from the Monroe doctrine. We'll, call 1t theCleveland doctrine, and stand by it.-Chicago Chronicle.
 There is no better way to meet Eng lands attempt to discredit our securities |than that of requiring her to pay higher duties on her exports to this country St. Louis Globe Democrat
 If there is now a dinner prospect of war than there was ten days ago it is not because there is any less courageous and patriotic spirit among true Ameri- cans.-Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem. We can tell Governor Morton that it is not gimlet with which the eager MT. Platt will approach the barrel It will be something with the cutting diameter of an 8-inch Washington News.
 Kansas is all right. Judge Brewer was born in Asia Minor and came to America and is now mixed up in an international difficulty. Waller lived in Kansas and moved to Africa and became mixed up in an international difficulty.-Wichita Eagle.
 The Venezuelan commission, as finally made up, is all right. It possesses digni- ty, brains, patriotism and capacity to deal with large affairs. No nation in Christendom need fear to trust its inter- ests to tribunal so censtituted.-New York Mail and Express.
 What Speaker Reed says goes in the house What the free silverites say goes in the senate. What Grover Cleveland says goes in the White House. That seems to be an accurate summing up of the strategical situation in Washington at present.-Boston Herald Ind. Dem.
 With the gold reserve descending like the mercury in zero weather, Willie Wal dorf Astor cruelty announces that he shall give England the benefit of his $10, 000,080 annual income.
 Me heart is broke-God knows Is it. Since Willie jined de gang"

 If this spasm of patriotism which has sprung up so bravely all over our coun-. try in defense of the Monroe doctrine can beget policy that will give back to the United States it's share of the carry ing trade of the world and monetary system independent of Great Britain, it will be like a divine revelation-Cleve- land Plain Dealer, Dem.
 We do not understand that the state executive committee possesses authority to dictate to county committees in the management of their local affairs, but that it's recommendations with reference thereto are to be regarded as suggestive rather than imperat tive. At the same time we realize that a degree of uniform ity is consistent with good judgment and requisite to the maintenance of the party ganization.-Monroe (Ala.) Journal.
 You may look for a bitter contest be- tween the executive and congress, a contest most injurious to financial inter T .1 if Mir. Cleveland in every step he has taken has deliberately set himself to bring about that result in order that he may pose as the great and only demo- cratic leader, and thus force his party to renominate him at their coming con- standardization, in Boston Adverti- ser.
 Before the offer of these bonds is over the experiment should be made of offer ing these securities not merely at the sub-treasures, but at every large post offiee if not at every one. Any office which can handle a money order can handle a bond subscription. If France can sell it's bonds direct to holders, why not the United States? To yield 3 per cent at maturity, these per cent bonds should be sold at 11600S. and if they were offered at this per cent basis to general and individual subscription, the step would be universally approved Philadelphia Press.
 The Toronto Empire reprints from the New York Evening Post a letter from Prof. J. Mark Baldwin of Princeton uni versity, formerly a professor at Toronto university, in which the writer says that he was solid for Cleveland until last Tuesday" This is clearly a case of Murchison. If all the communications so eagerly spread over the pages of the Post have as interesting a source as that by Professor Baldwin, it is easy to see exactly what the Post represents.- Rochester Chronicle Rep.
 The south stands in the Venezuelan is sue upon a common platform with the rest of the country, holding position of equal dignity and equal responsibility with and having as much at stake as any other section of the union. It is her right that this be recognized and she repud- ates any insinuation that her course is dictated by any desire to atone for the past. She does not want war. But should war come the south will not shrink from it. She will do her duty her whole duty-as she did in the three previous wars this country has had with foreign rieS--Richmond Dispatch, Dem.
 President Cleveland and Emperor Will liam have voiced the sentiments of the world. On this side MT. Cleveland speaks for the western hemisphere. On the oth- CT the emperor speaks for France as well as Germany The grudges of countries revive. A spark in a powder magazine would not be more dangerous than to the peace of the world would now be some untoward incident. And yet, character ist.cally British, the mobs of London were last night bowling against Cham berlain as a traitor. because he had at tempted to recall Jameson from his ill- starred xpedition.-Cincinnati Commer- l cial Gazette. ri TO IAMAlCA
