NOT PARTIsANs.

In the present controversy between
England and the United States, which
amounts to an effort on the part of the
latter to sustain the Monroe doctrine,
the question of partisanship does not
enter. There is one thing in our
country which above all is noticeable,
and that is when it comes to question
Of Americanism all the people stand
bold for the nation and its principles.
We all love the emblem and are will
ing to uphold at the cost Of blood what
it representa-. We don't stop to ask
ourselves what stand "our partyn
would take ON the matter. Repubh-
can, democrat, prohibitionist, populist,
all, with one accord stand willing to
maintain, and with shell and shot ii
necessary, the principles of American
ism.
It is q fundamental principle of this
country that no European power shall
extend its territory on this continent.
Any act by which such object is in
tended to be attained by those powers
shall be considered unfriendly toward
the United States, and must not and
will not be consummated. The futile
plea Of Salisbury that the Monroe doc
trine is not and never has been q part
of international law must be answered
by the statement that the Declaration
of Independence also is not a part of
the law which nations recognize, but
those who undertake to violate it's con-
ditiOns will find that it is part of the
American law, just as those nations
who undertake to stamp upon the
Monroe doctrine will find that it, too,
is part of the American law.
This is the reason that American
citizens-and it is sufficient reason
stand ready to enforce the Monroe
doctrine. 1t is part of the American
law. This is reason enough and Eng
land should observe this fact. If she
does not learn it now, the time will
come when she will learn it to her sor-
row. She will learn too that the people
of the United States are Americans
and believe in American principles and
American law.
Inc Americans, as We indicated at
the beginning of this item, do not set
tie these questions by resort to party,
but settle them at once in harmOni-
Gus whole. If a question like this
were submitted to the people of Deco
rah and Winnesheik county, is there
one of them who would call into assist
ance the aid Of party to determine his
views? Not one. Their spirit of pat
riotism would assert itself and there
would be no difference Of opinion.
England has probably yet to learn that
with our citizens it is country first and
party next.

CLEVELAND AND THE TREASURY.

One OF the things which Mr.. Cleve-
land, in his message to Congress, urged
was legislation for the replenishment
of the Treasury. He recognized that il
was in depleted condition and that
the finances of the government were in
q very precarious shape. Gold was
being sent abroad continually reducing
the reserve fund. In order to maintain
it at the hundred million mark he and
the Secretary of the Treasury were
compelled ON two or three occasions to
issue bonds and plunge the country
into millions of dollars of debt.
It was of course an implied admission
on the part of the President that his
party when given control in all the de-
partments Of the government had
proven incompetent to guide the
nation. His appeal to this republican
Congress was also an implied admission
on his part that the republican party
was competent to again place the treas
ury in safe condition. 1t was the
plea of a chief executive who had been
disappointed by his own partisans, and
was compelled to look with wistful
eyes and dropping head to some other
quarters for help to sustain the treas.
ury. He implicitly said to the republi.
can Congress: "Oh, I have beseached
my own party to provide a way out OF
the difficulty when they had the
power, but they would not. / know
that it was my party that brought 1t
about, but I could not get it to agree.
The democratic Congressman whom ]
appealed to were like wild geese, fee
ing in every direction. I lost hope.
come to you republicans with a look OF
fOrlOrn on my face and ask you If you
won't do something for the Treasury,
in that my party have failed?"
Now, the republican members OF
Congress have come like men to the
rescue. The committee ON Ways and
Means has reported measure for the
purpose of securing revenue for the
Treasury. 1t proposes an increase OF
tax upon some articles, some increase
being sufficient to fill up the deficiency
The bill was at once reported. There
was no delay, no difference of opinion,
no wrangling, no foolish dissentions,
but business. In few days, or weeks
at most, unless prevented by the demo.
Gratis in the Senate who may take ad.
vantage of the right to unlimited
debate, there will be bill at the Presi'
dents elbow ready to become q law
upon the affixing Of his signature to it.
But will he sign it? He has always
given the country to understand that
he was believer in low tariff. This
bill will perhaps be in contradistinctiOn
with those expressed ideas. But he
and his party, or rather his party, has
failed to meet the question. He has
appealed to republican Congress fol
help. Is he not, ins0much as he hal
asked them to come to the rescue
under obligation to accept their solu
ton? Has he not placed the matter
in their hands, and has he not given
them the task to perform In their own
way? Will he accept their solution
and place upon their action the stamp
of his approval, or will he use his per
to veto their act when they were kind
enough to assist him and his party out
Of the quandry into which they had
fallen The country will watch Mr.
Cleveland with interest which will bt
very intense.

It's dollars to doughnuts that If
that tariff bill gets through the Senate
1t will become law. Secretary Car
Isle will find the additional $40, ,OOO, 900
it will bring in handy thing to have
around the Treasury.

THIS Is hardly an appropriate time
for Venezuela to have sent a special en-
voy to Washington; it looks too much
like an effort to prejudice the boundary
commission.

If the Senate wants to do popular
thing it will put that tariff bill through
without any waste of time. Ifit must
deliberate let it be upon some other
bill.

WHERE is THE FLAG OF ENGLAND?

Where Is the flag Of England?
They ask on every hand,
Some with bitter hatred,
Some with loyal stand;
Worshipped almost as symbol,
Then denounced as q rag.
But somehow it still keeps waving on,
Kissing the breeze till its work is done,
That glorious English flag.
Where is the flag of England?
1t waves the throne above,
Where woman reigns by the grace Of God
And peoples boundless love;
Ofall the rulers earth now owns,
However the world may bng,
Not one 80 calm and 50 true is seen
AS the woman, the mother, the gracious
queen,
Enrobed by England's flag.
Where is the flag Of England.
1t floats on every sea,
Borne by the hands OF the bravest men
Anc waving o'er the free;
1t leads the way to the battlefield,
And the armies never lag.
For somehow or other they seem to know.
England has conquered every foe,
Led on by that wondrous flag.
Where Is the nag OF England?
IT'S floating over the free,
Protecting every Englishman
Wherever he may be;
The greatest power on earth may not
The humblest subject drag
Unjustly to q captive's fate
Or 1t will feel the power irate
OF England's mighty flag.
Where is the flag of England?
Not yet where yet twill be,
Conjuncted with "old glory" grand,
The emblem Of the free;
One God, one Christ, one speech, one soul,
The two shall be unfurled
For progress, liberty and right,
And England's fame, Columbia's might,
Shall help and bless the world.

PESCIA WILL Be CONSUL
The Italian Colony Pleased al
the Doctors Appoint
ment.
Consu General Grimaldi Alarmed for
the Safety of His Pretty
Turkish Wife.

For the last few months Cav. Bruni
Grimaldi, the Consul General of Italy in
this City, has been negotiating with his
Government for long leave of absence.
His request was granted and the Consul
was also authorized to appoint the man
who should represent him in his absence
or replace him if he fails to return.
To the great satisfaction of the Italian
colony, the announcements were made
yesterday that the Consul's choice had
fallen on DR.. Pescia and that the doctor
had consented to be acting Consul IN the
absence of Cav. Bruni Grimaldi DR.. Pescta
is one of the most influential men in the
colony, and as he is also welli known
anon Americans it is believed that he
can fill the position of Italian Consul
General tc the satisfaction of all parties
concerned much better than a stranger to
this City could possibly do.
1t is stated, however, that r. Scodeletti.
who for the last fifteen years has filled the
position OF secretary to the Italian Con-
| sulate, is not satisfied at the changes. and
| that he has resigned.
Cav. Bruni Grimaldi will shortly leave
| this City for Armenia. He is married to
beautiful young Turkish lady. and ever
since the ConsuFs arrival here from Den
! yer, over year ago, she and the two
| Grimaldl children have been visiting Mrs.
Grimaldi's relations in Turkey in Asia.
The recent Armenian troubles have caused
the Consul considerable anxiety. as he
feared that in some of the uprisings his
family might be massacred, 1t is largely
to look after their safety and bring them
back to America that he has demanded a
leave OF absense, though he has no inten-
ton OF returning here Immediately,
Cav. Bruni Grimaldi was in the Ital-
| ian consular service in this country fifteen
years ago. Later he served in japan and
Turkey, and it'was i'll ConstantinopIe that
he met the handsome young Turkish lady
who became his wife. When he consented
to her taking their two children from this
country, whittier he had been transferred.
to visit relations in Armenia he had no
idea that the conditions in that unhappy
land were about to become so strained.
Ever since the troubles began Cav.
Grimaldi has watched the mails with deem
anxiety for the letters saying that all was
well with his wife and children, and he
has earnestly petitioned the Italian Minis
ter for Foreign Affairs to grant him leave
of absence. 1t is only within the last few
days that his request has been formally
granted, and he is now hurrying his prep
arations to depart as soon as possible

SAN IA ROSA ISLAND HEIRS
They Get Down to the Details
of John More's Admin
iStration.
The Way in Which He Handled the
Funds Disclosed in Black
and White.

The hearing of the amended exceptions
in the Santa Rosa Island case was con-
tinued before Judge Coffey yesterday.
The additional exceptions filed by the
heirs represented by Major Mhoon. es we'll
as those presented by Messrs. Gunnison,
Booth and Bartnett, show up John f.
affairs in detail.
The heirs of Alexander p. More, who
left his little principality in the hands of
his brother, as administrator, are deter
mined to get the facts and something like
$S5, 600 or 100000. The heirs say he re-
ceived $4,000 from the Western Meat
Company and failed to render an account
ing thereof; next on the list is $500 re-
ceived from the California Iron and
Wrecking Company, for supplies furnished
from the island, including shoes, tobacco,
meat, etc., and following this sale of goods
not belonging to him, are others of q SIM
liar character, wherein certain laborers
occasionally visiting the island, left $3.50
with Mr.. More.
He also, it is alleged, failed to account
for $500 in rents. and did not turn over to
the estate $4,000 due as rent from himself
under the lease entered into with his de-
ceased brother. Next on the list is an item
of $1056 for freight on his own wool.

of the estate.
1t is also recounted in the newly filed
papers that John +. More failed to turn
over to the estate the 10000 sheep en-.
trusted to him, and that the number was
Is, 600 short, and further that he shipped
5000 head of sheep from the island at a
time when he knew the total number OF,
the island, including those shipped, did
not exceed 80, 900.
The heirs think it is highly improbable
that John f. will be able to account for

HE SOLD THE STOCK.
e. A. N. Hughes, Curbstone Broker,
Arrested on the Charge OF Felony
EmbezzIement.

Charles A. Paxton. stockbroker, 314 Pine
street, swore to a complaint yesterday
afternoon before Justice of the Peace Groe-
Finger, who Is presiding in No. Police
Court during the absence of Judge Camp
bell, charging E. A. NJ Hughes. a curb
stone broker, with felony embezzlement.
Paxton alleged that last Thursday
Hughes called at his office and asked to be
accommodated for an hour with 500 shares
of Potosi stock. As this is usual courtesy
among brokers Hughes request was
granted. AS he failed to keep his promise
20 return the stock Paxton made inquiry
and found that it had been sold for $3.50.
The warrant was placed in the hands of
Detectives Seymour and Whitaker, and
they arrested Hughes in the Pacific Stock
Exchange on Leidesdorff street and took
him to the City Prison, where he was de-
tanned on the charge.
Hughes claims that he borrowed the
stock from Paxton to accommodate Harris
e. Co., the stockholders on Pine and
Leidesdorff streets. who failed last week,
and that they must have disposed of it
and appropriated the proceeds.

scene will be found the acme OF Han
Ions wonderful ideas in pantomine
tricks and the eccentricities of the barn
ya-d.fowl have opened up field OF ecceu-
trio thought in their application to pam
tomime which creates no end OF amuse-
ment. BOOSTERS that pull people out OF Sec
ond story windows, ducks that remove peo-
pls's hats or walk down to the foot1ights
and lay eggs In full view Of the auditors
with equal facility, parrots who raise
umbrellas with their bill and laugh heart
lily at the Jokes OF the clown, cows who
furnish milk punches without the aid of
a bar tender and pigs that when tied to
houses, walk of house and all, are some
OF the introductions in this scene and
by the aid of the wonderful mechanical
contrivances their many movements are
laughable in the extreme. This particu-
lar act from start to finish creates one
immense roar of laughter. Ii Is the most
audicious ching of its kind that has ever
been attempted as II was hitherto thought
impossible TO utilize the orui mary deni-

So unique are the tricks performed and so
intensely amusing that they create per-
feet furore. In this act the quack-quack

girls gyrate around an immense duck
who acts as premier and performs gro-
tesuue dance. There are many other
clever introductions in this act which
might be enumerated, but lack OF space
forbids. The sale OF seats begins Friday
