THE PROFESSORS AND THE MON
ROE DOCTRINE.

A very large number of the college
professors of the country have not
agreed with the position taken by
President Cleveland in his Venezuelan
boundary message, and they have not
hesitated to say so. Perhaps the most
prominent of these professors have
been Professor Won Hoist, of Chicago
University, and Professor Charles Eliot
4 Norton, of Harvard They have not
\ been with the majority of the people
I OF the country as their views have
/ been expressed by the press, but they
have as much right to their views,
and to express them openly, as the
most ardent adherent of the Monroe
doctrine as laid down by President
Cleveland and Secretary Olney has.
Important as is the Monroe doctrine,
holding as it does the first place in
American foreign policy, it is not so
| important as that American citizens
shall have the right, and exercise it,
of free speech on all subjects and at all
times. Why should not the professors
of Harvard and Yale and Chicago
condemn Mr. Cleveland's interpreta-
ton of the Monroe doctrine if they
think it wrong? Their criticism of his
position does not alter the correctness
of it. We of the West think Mr..
Cleveland's financial policy radically
wrong, and we do not hesitate to con-
denim it in as strong language as these
professors do his foreign policy. In
the United States the right of one man
to condemn the governments policy in
any particular is no more sacred than
another mans to do the same. We
find an exchange declaring that
where the professors made their mis-
tage was in talking at all" Not at
all. 1t is much better that they made
known their sentiments than that they
entertain them and fear to express
them. 1t should not be forgotten that
these sentiments are uttered when
there is no war, which makes all the
difference in the world. Were we at
war; the expression of them would
be akin to reasonable utterances.
The soundness of the Monroe doc
trine has nothing to fear from the ad-
verse criticism of all the college pro-
fessors in the land A real blow to
American institutions would be given
if any attempt were made to muzzle
them.

STAND SOLID. DEMOCRATS.

| 1t is reported that efforts are being
made to break the present solid ranks
of the Democratic members of the leg
islature in the pending senatorial cleo
ton. Our Democratic friends viii nee
essarily have to be on their guard
against these efforts. The senatorial
contest will grow fercer as the time
approaches for the balloting to begin,
and every device will be resorted to in
order to win the victory. To begin
with the Democratic members should
remember that in their union there is
strength that may be of advantage to
Democracy. If they break that union
there is no possible chance to do any
! thing for Democracy: it would only en-
broii them in Republican faction
fights, and throw upon them and
through them upon the Democratic
party some portion of the responsible
ity for what is done by the Republican
majority. While it may be possible
that they cannot secure the election of
either Mr.. Rawlins or Mr. Thatcher,
even by acting as unit. it is absolute
ly certain that they cannot do it if
they break their ranks and thus destroy
their strength. The Democrats have
twenty votes; they need only twelve
Republican votes to join them in order
to elect whom they will, and in the bit
ter fight of the Republican factions
that at present seems inevitable, there
is no telling what opportunity may
come to the Democrats if they remain
solid.
The course of the Democrats on this
subject, moreover, is marked out. Pledg-
ed by the Democratic state conven-
ton to vote for NIessrs. Rawlins and
Thatcher, their first duty is to seek
the election of these gentlemen. If
they can not elect both of them, but
can by a combination elect one of
them, all well and good; we are of opin-
ion that under the action of the state
convention that nominated the above
gentlemen for United States senators.
they could consistently do that, and
we have contended for such a construc-
ton of the action of the state con-
vention as would enable them to do
it; but we do not think that any other
consideration should move them from
the support of the Democratic nomi-
nees. Certainly no such consideration
as merely a choice among good Repub-
licans should do it, and in this it will
be seen that we take direct issue with
the communication of Mr.. Heber ].
Grant published elsewhere in this is
sue, of which we may have more to say
hereafter.
Meantime it may be a good thing to
remind some Democrats who are seek
ing to break the solid ranks of the
Democratic members of the legislature
that these gentlemen are already pledg-
ed by party caucus to act unitedly
and they certainly cannot do other
wise in honor. Stand by your guns, |
Democrats. The great party that will
yet control the politics of this state
is watching your action, and expects
you to do all that your opportunities
will permit you to do for Democracy; !
and if no opportunity to do anything
for Democracy makes its appearance,
then it will expect you at the very
least to keep free from entangling al
hances which would saddle more or
less Of responsibility upon Democrats
that ought to be borne alone by Re
publicans.

The Utah Senatorial Contest.

The senatorial situation in Utah seems
pears to be able to give an intelligent
opinion as to what the outcome is to be.
A conference has been called for Tuesday
evening at which time something may
develop that will indicate what the SEN
timent of members is. The people of the
surrounding states are watching the mat
ter with great interest They had under
ed without opposition, but this now seems
to be in doubt or at least there is not
such nnanimity as was supposed. The
dlfhculty is that members do not say
what they intend to do.-Roise Statesman
