Foreign Affairs.

washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee on foreign relations was in
session two hours to-day discussing the
Cuban, Armenian and Venezuelan
questions, with incidental reference TO
the Monroe doctrine. No final action
was taken to any of the bills or joint
resolution bearing upon the subject in
hand, but all were referred to sub
committees for special investigation
and report at a future meeting. The
committee adjourned to meet subject
to the call of the chairman.
The committee decided upon a posi-
tive affirmation of the Monroe doctrine
by congress. A subcommittee was ap-
pointed to draft a resolution declaring
the sense of congress on this question.
Discussion on this point was conduct
ed upon the basis OF Senator Lodges
resolution which seemed 10 meet the
approval of a majority of the members.
Senator Turpie took exceptions TO some
phraseology in this resolution. but there
is little question the measure as report

luton. The subcommittee Is expected

the committee. or IL > possible the
committee will be polled without a for

most unanimous in advocacy OF a dec
laration of the Monroe doctrine. Sena-
tor Gray is understood to have taken
a position adverse to such a declara-
ton.

The Armenian question was taken up
and also referred to a subcommittee.

NAPOLEON RELICS.
Kansas Florist Possesses q Lock of
Hair OF the Little Corporal.

ABILENE, Kan, September 11.-A
curious relic has come to light here
in the possession of O. II. Bagley, q
florist, in lock of the hair of the first
Napoleon. 1t is OF undoubted anthem
ITCHY, and is probably the only bit OF
the dead Emperor on this continent.
Mr.. Bagley is native Of the Island of
st. Helena, and his family has lived
there for generations. His father
was captain of the tomb for fifteen
years preceding the removal Of the
remains of the Emperor to France.
His mother was a friend OF Mrs. Lowd,
the nurse OF Napoleon in his last ILL.,
ness, and when the Bagley family left
the island, In 1850, she divided with
her friend the choicest of her posses
sions. She had cut the lock from the
head Of the Emperor on the night
when he was laying In state after he
had been dressed for burial. 1t was
done with the consent Of Gen. Bar
trand, out of respect for the attention
the nurse had shown her distinguished
patient. About thirty hairs are In the
Iock, black with a brownish tinge, and
they are sealed In a bottle.
Along with them is bit OF plaster
from the room in which the Emperor
died and piece of the coffin In which
he lay. Mortar from the tomb and {

WATSON STILL AT 1T.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Tom Watson

"Mr. Sewall Is the man to retire. He
represents nothing the Chicago plat

Watson says Mr.. Sewall can with

the other hand, cannot retire without

He charges that the "pie hunters in
the Southern States wish to crush
Populism In the South and encourage
II In the West" and that wherever
fusion has failed the Democrats are

Printers Errors"

While the frequent list OF "funny"
typographical errors never cease to
be entertaining, American readers are
apt to be conscious of slight monot-
ony in the humor they afford. The
following collection of errors made by
the types has the merit of new
atmosphere, and will be welcomed for
that reason:
A London Telegraph compositor, In
setting up an article on the popular
question OF woman's rights, made the
writer wind up with fervid appeal
in favor Of woman's "hghts"!
Shortly after the battle of Inkerrian
one of the London papers informed It's
readers that "after desperate strug-
gle the enemy was repulsed with great
laughter" This interesting statement
was due to the compositor emitting the
"s" in slaughter.
An enthusiastic editor wrote: "The
battle is now opened" But alasl the
compositor spelt battle with an ''o''
and his readers said they had suspect
cd It all alongi
"Mrs. B. wore nothing In the nature
OF a dress that was peculiar" was
transformed into "Mrs. b. wore moth
ing in the nature OF dress. That wal
peculiar"
"Our esteemed fellow-townsman,
Mr.. Jones, whose health has suffered
from the late severe winter, has left
us in search OF a warmer climate. He
is now in Help (Hull).
"To be effective the skirt should be
displayed" ran the line In the fashion
column, but the ''k' in skirt got trans
formed to "hn making 1t "shirt," and
thus greatly altered the sense.
A lecturer before temperance So
ciety In Leeds told his audience, In
describing his journeys, that he had
merely had "a taste of Naples and
Rome.' He was Mortified the next
day, in reading report Of his lecture,
to see that he was credited with say
ing that he merely had "a taste OF APP
pies and rum"

1896

upon application of the legislature of
the state or upon the application of
the executive when the legislature
cannot be convened.
This provision rests upon the sound
theory that the people of the state,
acting through their legally chosen
representatives, are because of their
more intimate acquaintance with
local conditions, better qualified than
the president to Judge of the necessity
for federal assistance. Those who
framed our constitution wisely de-
termined to make as broad an appli-
cation of the principles of local self
government as circumstances would
permit, and we cannot dispute the
correctness of the position taken by
them without expressing distrust OF
the people themselves.
ECONOMY IN EXPENDITURES.
Since governments exist for the
projection of the rights OF the people
and not for their spoliatson, no expen-
diture of public money can be justi-
fed, unless that expenditure is neces-
sary for the honest, economical and
efficient administration of the govern
ment. In determining what appro-
priations are necessary, the interests
of those who pay the taxes should be
consulted rather than the wishes of
those who receive or disburse public
| moneys.
An increase in the bonded debt of
the United States at this time is en-
tireIy without excuse. the issue of
interest bearing bonds within the last
few years was defended that they
were necessary with which to obtain
gold with which to redeem United
States notes and treasury notes; but
this necessity has been imaginary
rather than real.
Instead of exercising the legal right
vested in the United States to redeem
its coin in either gold or silver, the
executive branch of the government
has followed a precedent established
| by a former administration and sur
rendered the option to the holder of
| the obligations. This administration
| policy leaves the government at the
mercy of those who find a pecuniary
profit in bond issues. The fact that
the dealers in money and securities
has been able to deplete or protect the
treasury according to their changing
whims, shows how dangerous it is to
permit tn em to exercise controlling
J influence over the treasury depart
ment.
The governm ent of the United
States, when administered in the in
terest of all the people, is able to es-
tablish and maintain it's own financial
! policy, not only without the aid of any
