Mr.. Bartlett, however, did not raise
the point against the provisions making
pensions under the act of 1890 rejected,
suspended or dismissed and afterwards
allowed to date from their first applica-
ton.
1t was announced in the debate that
bills covering the amendments ruled
out would be reported from the invalid
pensions committee. The pension bill
as passed carries $l4l, 1926, $40, about
$50. 600 less than the estimate. The bill
wal passed 30 days ahead Of any previ-

Senator Davis Monroe Doc
trine Resolution Adopted
in Committee.
Maintenance Of the Law Held
to Be Vital to the Coun-
! try's Welfare.
Acquisition of Territory by a
Foreign Power Will Not
Be Permitted.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The resolu-
ton drawn by Senator Davis n
adopted by the senate committee on
foreign relations will prove to be a clear
and strong enunciation of the Monroe
doctrine when it's text is made public.
II is a more forceful doctrine than any
that has been introduced in congress on
this subject, and its terms are so ex-
plicit that they cannot be misunder-
stood. The maintenance Of the Mon.
roe doctrine, as set forth in the resolu-
ton is held to be vital to the welfare
of this country and the countries Of the
American continent. The doctrine, il
is asserted, is now in force and has
The Madisonian. (Virginia City, Mont.) 1873-1915, 1896-01-25

been in force ever since it was estab.
lished by President Monroe. The reso-
luton declares it to mean that the &C.
QUESTION by purchase, aggression or
otherwise Of any territory or he Amer
lean continent by a foreign power is an
nnfriendly act, and such acquisition
will not be permitted by the United
States.
The Unitei States Sole Arbitrator.
The most important feature is that
which touches upon a new phase of the
Venezuelan question; the report that
England and Venezuela may reach an
agreement, and that English money
will settle the boundary dispute. The
resolution declares that in case bound
airy disputes on the American continent
between foreign governments and
Amer. al governments are decided by
arbitration, agreement, purchase, or III
any manner whatever, the United
States shall be the sole judge as to
whether the Monroe doctrine has been
violated in such arbitration or agree
Ulcut. Ii 1dCt, AZ SCtAllS AAAN pIAl'
ton or agreement between foreign gov.
ernments and governments on the
American continent as to boundary dis
putes cannot become binding or effec-
tive unless sanctioned by the United
States, and that no part Of the Amer
can continent has been coded to a for
eign power by such arbitration OF
agreement. This practically makes the
United States the arbitrator between
foreign governments and those Of the
American continent in all boundary
disputes.
Far-Reach,ns in Its Effects.
T This portion of the resolution is con
sidered most important and far-reach
ing in its effects. 1t caused misappre
tensions anon some members OF tn
committee, as it is claimed that it ma,
lead to many entanglements. On tn
other hand, the supporters OF the reso
luton say that it leaves everything il
the hands of the United States wher
the final decis on should be, and tina
the United States will interfere onl,
when the Monroe doctrine has bee
violated.
The resolution is drawn with a vie,
Of covering every possible c%ontingenc
that may arise in boundary disputes, c
the acquisition. or the sale of territOr
by one foreign government to another
Oh the American continent, or island
that are considered a part of the West
ern hemisphere.

AN EXTENSION OF TIME.
President Commun Gates to Congress
Regarding Land Grants.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The president
sent a special message to tho house nrg-
ing the necessity for immediate legisla'
ton to extend the limit of time within
which suits IAN 1t brought by the gov
III to annul grants Of public land,
He called attention to the numeroo o.
contentious with railroads as to grants
that overlapped, and the necessity for
adjustment. The time in which suit
can be brought expires March 3, 1896.
and if the time limit We're allowed to
expire then, a portion Of the adjust
ment act would be rendered nugatory.
The government, the president says, i'll

from going into the courts and righting
wrongs perpetrated by its agents.

A NEEDED REFORM

Editor Herald: The arrest of the So
cialist speakers in this city few days
ago and their subsequent trial and ac-
quittal, demonstrates the imperative
need for some change in, the criminal
code that would hold complaining par
ties responsible, in some measure. when
they make an unwarranted complaint.
It is no small matter for men to be de-
prived of their liberty or be obliged to
go to the Inconvenience Of furnishing
bond and losing time from work that
can i'll be spared to attend trial, besides
the expense of a lawyer to defend them.
To be constantly liable to such treat
ment, nullifies the American spirit OF
liberty and fair play. Judge Lyman
Trumbull says that the police officers of
this country are immeasurably trans
cending the authority originally intend
ed to be given them, and he sounds a
clear nota Of alarm at the encroach-
ment. .. g-..-l e

quent for the peace and safety Of our
people, especially those who think it
their duty to agitate for any new theory.
The men who carry on these street
meetings take the trouble to know the
city regulations and to conform to
them, and consequently no conviction
ever follows the arrest. These arrests

John called on the bank president the

something, some good fortune that befell
the poor man, for he was indeed q poor
man. To whom did he sell his gold pellet,
and how much did he get for it?
I don't think such stories fairly meet
the important issues of the present CAM
paign, and I only tell mine for the pur-
pose of emphasizing that fact; but if
the fires referred to in these stories had
occurred prior to February IL, 1873, when
the mints were open to the coinage of sill
yer as we'll as gold, at the ratio of 16 to
/, the man in Senator Perkins story
would have lost no more on one metal
than on the other, while the man in my
story would have lost just as much as
he would lose today.

HARTFORD, Oct. S.-The National
Democratic convention is in session here
today. The attendance showed, full rep
resentation from all parts of the state.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
declaration of the convention held June
10 of this year. and says:
while we favor most liberal use Of
silver consistent with the enforcement Of
the gold standard, we are unalterably
opposed to free coinage of silver, deem
ing 1t a device for the debasement of our
currency, and to compulsory purchase of
silver by the government. Under exist
Ing circumstances, to pay the public
debts in silver coin is repudiation; to pay
private debts in the same coin is to rob
the wage-earners; and to provide for
free coinage of silver means a destruc-
tion Of legitimate business and great
suffering among laboring classes. WE
BELIEVE THE SAFETY OF OUR MA
TIONAL FINANCES REQUIRES A
SYSTEM OF SOUND BANKING, BY
WHICH THE BANK NOTE CURREN-
