that they will assert and maintain that
doctrine and those principles and will
regard any infringement thereof, and
particularly any attempt by any Euro
pean power to take or acquire any new
or additional territory on the American
continent, or any islands thereto, IN
any case or instance as to which the
United States shall deem such attempt
to be dangerous to their peace or safe
ty, by or through force, purchase, ces-
sion, occupation, pledge. colonization,
or protectorate, whether under I'M
founded pretension, as the manifesto
ton of an unfriendly disposition to-
ward the United States, and that it
would be impossible for us to regard
such interposition in any form with in
difference.
AS The Herald said last Sunday
morning in commenting on this new
doctrine, whatever else this new doc
trine may be, it is not the Monroe doc
trine nor the doctrine that President
Cleveland invoked and championed. >"
In his message of December II the
president said:
Great Britains present proposition
has never thus far been regarded as
admissible by Venezuela, though any
adjustment of the boundary which that
country may deem for her advantage
and may enter into of her own free
will cannot of course be objected to by
the United States.
That runs as counter to the doctrine
of Senator Davis resolution as the
pretensions of the Holy Alliance ever
did to the Monroe doctrine.
President Cleveland has done a really
patriotic service in repudiating the pre-
tension and jingoism of the Davis res
olution. Fer this he deserves the
thanks of the country.

FIGHT WITHIN PARTY LINES.

The action of the American Bimetal-
lie league in Washington in seeking to
create a separate party whose sole pur-
pose shall be to secure the free and IN
limited coinage of silver is mistake.
It's action will do more harm than
good; and win tend more to divide the
friends of silver than they are now
divided. It is too much TO expect that
the friends of silver in the old parties
will abandon them to unite with an in
dependent silver party. The result will
be. if the efforts of the Bimetailic
league shall be continued, that the
friends OF silver will be divided into
three parties instead of two. and that
division means lessening silver's
chance for recognition. Especially is
the action of the league inopportune
now, before it is learned what can be
done within the old party lines. We
are fran% to confess that in our opin-
ion, free coinage will ultimately find
its champion in the Democratic party.
We believe it will yet become q party
question, and when it becomes distinct
ly so it will be found that the party Of
the people will be found true to the
money of the people; that the party of
the constitution will be found true to
the money Of the constitution-gold and
silver, and currency redeemable in
either at the option of the government.
It cannot be denied that the bulk OF
the Democratic party favor the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver, and
that majority will ultimately assert its
power in the party platform and stand
for the money of the people and the
constitution. Whatever others do
Democrats should contend within their
party lines for free silver, until that
party is committed to the true bimetal-
lie policy founded by the fathers of the
republic, the free and unlimited coin
age Of both gold and silver.

A COLORADO SUGAR FACTORY.

a movement is on foot to establish
a beet sugar factory in Colorado. To
further this object meeting will be
held at Rocky Ford tomorrow. 1t has
been called by Hon. G. w. Swink,
president, and G. w. Hall, secretary,
of the Arkansas Valley Sugar
Beet Growers association. Its
purpose is to take organized
action in regard to growing
sugar beets. and also to secure the
erection Of a sugar plant at Rocky
Ford. The call for the meeting states
that "the soil and climate of this val
ley produce beets of greater perfection
and larger tonnage than any other 10
cality on the continent, government
analysis showing higher average per
cent. Of saccharine and co-efficient of
purity than has ever been found in
sugar beets grown at any other point
in the United States"
OF course allowance must be made
for such glowing accounts as this, but
it is altogether likely that the valley
is well adapted for the raising of the
sugar beet.
1t is somewhat surprising that so
enterprising state as Colorado has
not long ago erected sugar factory,
for there is no doubt that many por-
tons of the state are admirably adapt
ed for the raising of the sugar beet
Utah has most successful sugar
factory and we are all proud Of 1t.
And if our sister state on the east shall
establish one or more all Utah will
wish her success and feel no jealousy
towards her. We hope the Rocky Ford
meeting will result in the realization
of the hopes of the sugar beet raisers
who have called it.

The spectacle of Ex-Governor Caleb

further his political ambitions, is one
which will probably not cause frenzy

are unit in favor of it. Chronic office
seekers like West, who play in with the

contempt. have demoralized the Demo-
cratic party in the west, and disguised
workers in the fold. There is some con-
ISOLATION in the matter and that is that
when the administration once goes out
of Office it will mean the political obliv-
ion OF those like West, whose profession
is politics and whose principle is any

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1896-03-24

The federal bureau has recently is-
sued a bulletin on criminal statistics
which shows an appalling increase in the
number Of Jail prisoners by decades
from 1850 to 1890. The ratio Of prison
ers to population has grown from 200 in
every million inhabitants to 1875. The
increase has been more rapid with every
successive decade. 1t may be that the
laws OF late have been more stringently
executed and more criminals brought to
light, or it may be that they have not
been 80 we'll executed and the opportun-
ity for crime increased thereby. But
the increase cannot be laid largely to
either OF these causes. Two features
stand out prominently in the comparis-
ons. Only one in thirteen of the prison.
ers is a woman. The other and most
significant fact of the figures is that by
far the greatest number OF these prison
ers are young people from the age OF 10
to %. 1t used to be generally conceded
that the greatest number Of crimes were
committed by people under thirty years
OF age, but it is a startling fact that the
greater number are committed by peo-
pie under twenty-five years and a very
large proportion OF these are under
twenty. Here is where the most earnest
work and most scientific methods Of re-
form are to be put into pracLice. Hence
the stress laid upon methods OF penal
and reformatory institutions. But back
of all this lies the deeper significance OF
the moral condition Of our public
schools. Here the innocent youth are
brought directly in contact with the
most vicious, aad the seeds OF immoral
ity and crime are early sowD. 1t Is an
appalling fact that nearly 10000 minors
are convicted feloEs In the prisons Of
our country.

COMPEL tt..,,SJHERS
Federal Supreme Court HanC]
Down all Important
Decision.
Courts May Compel Answers in
Interstate Commerce
Cases,
Even Though Such Answers In
criminate Witnesses.-Cuban
Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, March PA decision
was rendered by the supreme court OF
the United States in the case of Theo-
dore G. Brown, involving the right Of
the court to compel an answer by a
witness to questions IN interstate COM
merce cases, notwithstanding he may
plead Standardization as the result of
an answer. The decision was opposed
to Browns contention that he was pro-
tected by the constitution from this re-
quirement, and the decision of the
court below was affirmed. The opinion
was handed down by Justice Brown.
Justices Field, Shiras, Gray and White
dissented, holding that the constitu-
tional provision was sufficient to relieve
Brown from the requirements to an
swer.
In announcing his opinion, Justice
Brown said the question involved was
whether the law of 1898 specifically re-
lieving witnesses in interstate COM
merce cases from prosecution when they
revealed facts which might incriminate
themselves operates to take from wit.
nesses in such cases the privilege Of
silence as guaranteed by the constitu-
ton, and the conclusion was that it did.
Justice Brown advanced the opinion
that in this case the refusal Of Brown
to give his testimony was due rather to
his
Desire to Shield Others
than himself. AS Brown was only the
auditor of the road, his duties were not
of such a character that he could be
held criminally liable for any violation
of the law. 1t was the intention that the
constitutional provision should protect
from real and substantial dangers, and
not from imaginary evils, as in this case.
The consequence of granting i'm
munity from answering to such officials
would inevitably be to render the inter-
state commerce laws incapable Of en-
forcement and the result would be to
PROSTATE congress at the feet of the
powerful railroad corporations of the
country. The decision of the circuit
court for the Western district of Penn
sylvania, requiring him to answer the
questions was therefore affirmed.
