According to the Boston Herald in or
der to give the Monroe doctrine force and
effect, "the acuion to be resisted under 1t
must be shown to be detrimental or peril
GUS to the interest of the United States. -

ton Herald? And by the way when the
Monroe doctrine was first enunciated how
had it been proved that the restoration of
the South American states to thefSpanish
crown would prove detrimental to the
United States? The fact of the matter is
that whenever an assertion of the Monroe
doctrine has seemed likely to involve us
in war it has always been found not to ap-
ply to that particular case, and if as a
condition precedent to its application it
must be demonstrated that the invasion,
colonization. expansion or whatever it is
that is complained of will be detrimental
or perilous to our interest it will rarely
if ever be found to apply, for such demon
stration in advance will rarely If ever be
possible. Suppose a demonstration that
the reconquest Of South America by
Spain would be detrimental or periious
to US had been required as condition
precedent for the utterance by President
Monroe of the celebrated doctrine that
bears his name does anybody believe that
it would ever have been uttered?

To believe that Havana is serio usly
threatened by the CUBAN insurgents one
must believe that the Spanish army of
over hundred thousand men now in
Cuba is absolutely worthless. 1t is doubt
less true that it is not in high state of
Efficiency, but that it is unable to cope
with six or eight thousand men, not very
well disciplined or equipped is absurd ly
improbable. No doubt there is alarm
in Havana, it is not difficult to thow the
people in large city into panic by the
mere suggestion of danger, but that the
city is on the eve of capture by the rebels
is not to be credited except on much bet
Ter evidence than has yet appeared.
Rebel bands of guerillas have undoubt-
eddy skillfully eluded the Spanish troops
and are committing wholesale depreda-
lions in the province Of Havana, but
when they have done all possible in that
line we have no doubt they will retire
and begin the same kind of work else
where. They will not, we venture to pre-
dict, lay siege to Havana nor risk a
pitched battle with the Spanish troops.

The relations between En- gland and
Germany continue very much strained
and there is no abatement of the war feel
ing in the former, certainly. How it is in
the latter is not quite SO clear, and it is
not so important. for in Germany the
government is farther removed from the
people than in England and the feeling
of the public is less decisive of govern

carries out the intention he is said to
have expressed to a representative of the
Transvaal government of recognizing the
complete independence of the South
African republic by appointing d German
minister resident at Pretoria there will
surely be war, unless England backs
down. The attitude of Germany which
is indicative of desire to seek a pretext.
and to be content with very small one
for picking quarrel with England, has
given rise to suspicion that there is a
secret understanding between Germany

There is strong reason for believing
that the confession of McGough on which
Bat Shea has been granted a respite from
execution is put up job on the part of
the Murphy crowd. it is said that the
confession is in direct conflict with the
testimony MoGough gave at the trial,
and it appears that the fact of the con-
fession was announced by Murphy's organ
in Albany several days, before it was
made public. Shea, it will be remem-
bered, was a member of the Murphy gang
OF Troy, and was working when. the

The Republican mem bers of the Senate
yesterday decided to support the House
tariff bill without amendment. This does
not actually assure the passage of the bill
but gives it a fair chance. OF course the
Democrats can talk it to death, but as
they expect the President will veto it, it
Is likely that they will be content with a
reasonable amount of debate. The bond
bill has no chance of passage unless it is
accompanied with some sort of declara-
ton in favor of FREQ silver coinage, and
in this shape the House would reject it,
III is practically certain therefore that no
bond bill will become law.

REFORM IN CHICAGO.
Usual Amount of Shooting
and Fighting.

Chicago. H., April S.-Out of thirty
FIVE aldermen. the Republicans yesterday
elected twenty, the Democrats thirteen
and two independents were chosen.
There are thirty-four wards in the city.
but two aldermen were chosen in the
Tenth, there being vacancy in that
ward.
The principal feature of the election
was the effort of the reform element to
down number of tn" gang aldermen.
The refOrmcrs were successful with a
ma jority of the men they were after,
getting three ont of five aldermen, but
they failed to secure the three or four
bright particular ScalpS they desired.
Party lines were not strong in num-
ber of the wards. and the reform move
ment had much weight.
Full returns from the First and Nine
teenth wards, in which most of the fight
ing occurred. show that twcnty-siX men
ing the day. The great majority of
these were not injured badly, and none
of them fatally. The man hurt the
worst was Joseph Grigan, who was shot
in the ankle. James Dawson had his
skull fractured with a crutch. Olaf
HcnSou's nose was smashed fiat with a
paving stone and John Wilson's ear was
torn off by missile of the same kind
William HiSkey was shot in the wrist
and John McGrath was shot in the back
both slightly injured. These are the
two worst injuries received. There was
( no fighting outside these two wards.
Returns from 125 towns throughout
the state show Republican victories in
about foUr-tIfthS of them. In none of
tn" elections was the vote on a straight
political issue.
