Misapplica OF tho Monroe Doc
trinC.

An able lawyer OF large acquaintance
with public afhirs, writes to the editor
OF this paper in sharp criticism OF what he
calls "thc indefensible folly of Clevcland's
mlsapplication of the Monroe doctrine to
the Venezuelan question" He says: "In
its origin, that doctrine was simply a
stand-off in favor OF the Spanish colonies
against tho Holy Alliance. To in
woke the principle against the right of a
foreign power already In possession of
American territory. to settle disputed
boundary with an adjoining proprietor.
and to threaten such power with war if ii
should refuse to abide such decision rs We
might mako upon an eS parte hearing is not
the Monroe Doctrine but an act of almost
incredible irsolcnce. The idea that the
extension of British civilization over the
disputed strip OF seml-bnrbarous country
implies any possible threat or danger to
us or to our institutions is too absurd
when we consider that England has n
border 5000 miles long at our door and
holds more than half of the Continent.
This is a political move-an adrot ap-
peal to sentiment In favor Of a principle
III understood, which Is al! right within
limitations. but pernicious and offensive
in the extent to which the present Ad-
Ininistration carries 1t for purely political
purposes. to distract popular attention
from its own shortcomings and the i'm
becillty OF Its party. and to make popu-
lar Issue for the impending election. The
cunning OF the performance Is fairly
diabolicai
This IL not a time for distractions or
rainbow chasing. Nothing can justify a
war between two Christian nations In this
age. and therefore nothing oan justify q
threat Of . war save supreme exiyercy.
The English Of our Monroe Doctrine Is
simply that wo Will act only In self-defense
and In cases where peril Is threatened
which justifss an appeal to arms in self
defense. BY utmost stretch Of ihagir-
alton the Venezuela question presants no
such emergency. 1t cannot concern VI
