Honor Above Dollars.

John M. Thurston, senator from
Nebraska, made ringing speech for
the Monroe doctrine in the United
States senate last week. Mr.. Thurs
ton is native of Central Vermont, is
we'll known in Washington county, and
what he had to say will be read with
interest here:
Mr.. Thurston said it was not his
purpose to treat this subject histori-
cally or to revie W the events which led
up to the assertion of this American
policy in the message of President
Monroe. He could add no hing in that
respect to the exhaustive presentation
of the senator from Mass achusetts, Mr..
Lodge.
81 am not unmindful," he continued,
"of the seriousness and gravity of the
present situation. We are calling halt
upon that settled policy of aggression
and dominion which has characterized
the extension of the British empire from
the hour in which her first adventurous
Prov turned to unknown seas. No
nation can afford to lightly challenge
England's purposes or arouse her stub
born pride. But does this furnish any
reason why Americans should abandon
any settled policy of the United States,
or retire from any position which the
honor of this republic and the welfare
of America require that we should as.
sumo? Great Britain has mistaken the
temper of the people of this country in
the past, as she mistakes it now. The
English people profess to believe that
they can weaken our purpose and com,
pei us to abandon the Monroe doctrine
by threats and demonstrations against
American securities and American
commercial interests. We solemnly
advise them that our foreign policy is
not matter of exchange or barter; an
no financial panic can ever induce US
for single moment to lower the STAN
dard of our national honor"
Mr.. Thurston concluded as follows
Believing that the honor of our coun.
try is involved; that The hour calls for
the highest expression of loyalty and
patriotism; calmly confident OF the yer.
dict of posterity; reverently calling God

Cannot BE Made Too Strong.

Although President Cleveland is said
to have characterized the Davis Monroe
doctrine resolution as mischievous,
inopportune and unfortunate" there
seems 10 be strong probability of its
passage. In the minds of consider
able portion of the American people
there cannot be any too strong asser-
ton of the Monroe doctrine at the pres
ent time, although there is some sense
in the reason for opposition to legisla-
tive action expressed by Representa-
tive Mccall of Massachusetts, that
" there is no more necessity of codify-
ing that doctrine than of codifying the
common law."-Concord Monitor Re

One Way Of Settling the Question.

Congress has constitutional warrant
for providing for the common defence
and welfare of the people of the United
States. But whether or not this war
rant is broad enough to cover and in
clude such an enterprise as the Nicara-
qua canal may be doubted. The alb
sence of such an improvement cannot
be deemed menace to us, yet con-
tingency may arise when a quick trans
portstion of men and material to the
Pacfi seaboard might involve the peace
and safety of the nation. If all parties
would agree to back the enterprise
with the guaranty of the nation the
constitutional question would be eff
fectualIy disposed of.-North Ameri-
can, Philadelphia (Republican).

SUBSIDIZED DRESS.

Among the active agencies of the gold
propaganda, an institution calling itself
the New York Reform club has taken q
prominent part, The business of this
club was in the main to subsidize the
country press, and if it tells the truth it
has met with remarkable succeee. The
executive committee of the club has just
made public report in which it is
claimed that 800 papers principally in
the south and west are on it's rolls and
are publishing the stuff it sends out.
This takes money and the question is,
where does it come from and why is it
expended. No sane man will take any
stock in the talk that the club is actu-
ated by patriotism, or that those who
support it with the necessary large sums
OF money have not a personal and selfish
interest in the result. The money is be-
ing put up by Wall street ard the east
ern manufacturers; it is in the nature OF
an investment, and il they accom- plish
their purpose and elect Mckinley they
will get large returns and the people will
suffer accordingly. Mr.. Chandler of
New Hampshire made no mistake when
he said that Mckinley was mortgaged
candidate, and he could have added the
mortgages will foreclose promptly, il
opportunity offers, and exact payment to
the last farthing. Their large expondi-
lures to mislead and bunko the people

satisfied.

The Chicago convention has adjourned
until this morning, and the people viii
have to wait few hours before they
know who will be the standard bearer OF
the silver hosts. Who it will be is still
among the uncertainties. No one knows
at this writing, and it is probable the
delegates themselves will not know un.
til the deed is done. We can afford to
wait, with the knowledge that
whoever is named will be worthy
of the occasion. The reading of
the reports will justify this as
sertion. They tell Of convention that
stands without parallel in the annals
of history. 1t is a convention that was
gathered in responee to a popular up
rising, to put into effect a demand for a
change in the financial system Of the
government. Beyond that, it had no
liked policy 1t was not called to
serve the purpose of any man. The
honors it had to confer we're
open to all and for them there
were many aspirants. From the arrival
OF the delegates in the convention city
up to the adjournment last night, the
convention has been met with large,
powerful and determined minority. It
had but one purpose, to serve the single
gold standard. Marshaled by able men,
it was welded into compact and obe-
dent body ready to do the bid
ding OF the leaders, no matter
what the orders we're. Against this
compact, well disciplined mass, the sill
yer men arrayed Themselves Conscious
of their strength, yet apparently lack
ing in discipline, they met and con-
quered the enemy. AS each danger
arose it was faced boldly and overcome
by united front. On essentials
the silver men may have Differed on
essentials they were as one.
This is the record as we write. An
other emergency is upon them. Upon
the question of candidates are personal
preferences, and they will be expressed.
Tho rivalry Is as great AS is the honor
that is at stake. The excitement
and craftsmanship are but natural and
heaithful. We would not have it
otherwise, for out Of it will come good.
AS the convention has thus far been
steadfast in it's great purpose so it wi.
be to the end, and We are confident that
today it will round out its work by nam
ing candidates that are in accord with
the platform and who will receive the
enthusiastic support Of all free coinage
men.

POOR TACTICS,

just prior to the adjournment of the
convention of 1892 Gen. Pat Collins Of
Boston, if we remember Alright, intro
duced a resolution instructing the ma
tional committee to consider the adyisa-
bility of reporting rule to exclude all
persons except delegates, aternates, and
representatives of the press from the
sessions OF future conventions. The
manifest object was that the convention
could transact its business in order, free
from interference. The instruction WAS
not carried out. The national committee,
or those in control of it, to
their dgcredit, needed mob Of
claqueurs and, having the power to 10
so,iilled the vast hall with them, to boot
and yell down speakers who did not
agree with them, and 10 applaud and
cheer those who did. During ycstor-
day proceedings these noisy fellows
carried out the instructions of their um-
pIoycrs, the gold men, in the most dis
graceful manner, in sn attempt to hiss
down Senator 1ilman, that proved an
successful. The silver two-thirds Of the
convention knew that all this Kissing
and hurrah was manufactured for the
occasion aud paid for at SO much per
