Senator Jame4 smith, of New jersey

Senator Jame4 Smith, of New Jersey
made a speech o1 the Monroe Doctrine
on Monday, Whit was the most sensi-
BILE one made yeA While it condemns
the toryism of Mr.. Sewell's resolutions
it opposes the radical lingo resolutions
of Senator Davis. He takes the patrio
tic stand that the Doctrine applies to
the controversy between Venezuela and
Great Britain, which Mr.. Sewell de-
MES, yet he sees no need of defining
limitations for its future applications
as the Davis resolutions do. President
Cleveland has announced its appliea-
ton in tile case at issue and Congress
has shown that it approves his act and
its application by authorizing a commits.
sion by a unanimous vote. "We have
met the situation outlined to us by the
President in such a manner as to show
that there is no division of sentiment
of the United States when any question
of national honor is involved. 1t is not
only unnecessary. but unwise, to either
qualify or Intensity our action thus
taken in response to both an executive
and a public demand. The patriotic
sentiment of the United States is great
and powerful, but it is not greater or
more potent than the conservative com.
mon sense which characterizes our
whole people. For one, 1 believe that
they are satisfied. They have had
enough. They want no more jingoism.
They are sick ard tired of tile constant
injection Of party politics and personal
ambition into our dealings with other
nations. They are suffering from our
inaction upon other matters of the most
vital Importance. Indeed, it is a fact,
and we may as well admit it 6rst as last
that the great majority Of the people
throughout the country are disguised
with Congress in general and the SEN
ate in particular. The most popular
thing we could do today, and probably
10 the present condition of affairs the
most beneficial thing we could do,
would be to pass the necessary appro.
priation bills and go home. The mere
fact that We n in session is a menace
to tie revival of business and the re-
turn of prosperity"

Since carp have become so valuable q
fish to the citiz ems of this State there
should be a law passed fer their pro-
lection, instead of determination. The
fishermen began catching them in July
last year when they were low in price,
and Of inferior quality to eat, because
they frequent the shallow muddy wa
ter to feed on the seeds of wild grasses
and reeds, and consequently had an
insipid, muddy taste. They are a cold
weather fish, like tue catfish, as they
taste better and bring a more profitable
price in the winter time, as is now
abundantly proven. We believe a law
should be passed to prohibit catching
them for market until October first, at
which time they have p~ropagated aud
fattened on the summer vegetation.

Last week we inadvertently made Q
mistake In the percentages the new law
increases taxation by increasing the
assessors and collectors fees. The in.
crease of the fees amounting to about
$50 in U. P. Neck Township, whose
valuation taxable is about $4,000 In
creases the tax rate about ! cent on 500
and not / per cent. as stated. As the
States valuation is S7s6, 1893 ,070 the in.
crease of / cent on the 500 will increase
the taxes $7s,S09.s0 which is a snug
sum to take from the peoples pockets
when it was uncalled for and not
necessary.

In Delaware a man has to have a tax
receipt to vote. The complaint in years
past has been that Democratic assessors
would not assess Republicans and con-
sequently they could not pay tax to
get q receipt to vote on. But now a
Republican assessor Is in and the COM
plant Is that more men are assessed to
get tax receipts than there are voters.
More negros have been assessed in ono
ward in Wilmington than have been
voting in the whole city. Addicks pays
the tax and gets the receipts of hun.
dreds. Colored voters can be gotten
from Baltimore.
