instance, laments over the folly OF
country like the United States,
without a standing army and a
great fleet, putting itself in po-
sitidn Of being dragged into war
whenever a petulant American
half-caste state chooses to pass an
insult on an European power" Elk
ceeding Joy over the outcome on
the part of the British press IS not
to be expected.
The honor and satisfaction Of
maintaining a long cherished ma
tional principle is by no means the
only benefit derived to the Ameri-
cans. With the assurance that the
United States will act the big
brother part in the time Of dire ne
cessity, the South Americans will
receive with greater favor the adj
vances made to divert trade from
European to American channels.
Already Europe is beginning to
feel the effects of American com
petition, and it was not long since
that an English editor in the West
Indies called attention to the grow
ing power of the Monroe doctrine
of trade.
By his strong Venezuelan policy
and his apparent intention to care
for the Cubans when the proper
time arrives, President Cleveland's
foreign policy will be partially
saved from the effects of the blot
placed upon it in the early days of
his administration. Had he in those
early days had an adviser like Sec
rotary Olney, who can say that his
administration would have been
saved the ignominy resulting from
the Hawaiian episode.

CLEVELAND REGAINING LOST
GROUND.

If the predictions made in re-
cent dispatches are fulfilled as the
exact wording of the Venezuela
arbitration treaty is made public
President Cleveland will hold a po-
sition in history second only to the
original exponent of the Monroe
doctrine. The submission of the
Venezuela boundary dispute to UNI
restricted arbitration will be a
complete victory for the United
States, and the precedent estab-
lished by Great Britain bowling to
the American principle will be suf-
fcient to cause every European ma
ton to be guarded in any attempt
to gain power by bulldozing a weak
South American republic.
This self evident fact is felt all
over Europe, and both German and
French journals assert that neither
Germany or France will submit to
interference from the United States
should the nations have occasion
to make demands upon Spanish
American republics. 1t will be
time enough for other powers to
express their sentiments when their
diplomats have occasion to wrestle
with the American Interpretation
of the Monroe doctrine The press
of Great Britain having become
aware that Mr.. Cleveland has gain
ed his point, is now commiserating
the United States for the new and
terrible responsibility which has
been assumed. The Spectator, for

M'KINLEY's HAWAIIAN POLICY.

Citizens of Hawaii will be pleas
ed TO note that President-eIect Me
Kinley's friends believe him to be
strongly in favor of handling the
Hawaiian question promptly and
handling it in such manner as to
vindicate the policy Of eX-President
Harrison. The principal import
ance attached to the Washington
dispatch is the indication that the
question of establishing the SUI
Premaey of the United States in
this country will receive early con
sideration; also that there seems to
be little or no disposition to oppose
carrying out Mr.. Harrison's policy,
and possibly confirming the origi-
nal treaty which he submitted to
the Senate. Mckinley is distinct
lively party man." and besides
this is warm personal and politi-
cal friend of Mr.. Harrison. 1t Is
then by no means improbable that
he will take the first opportunity
to vindicate Harrison and his party
by completing the work which
Gresham attempted to tear down
and cast into disrepute.
The short interviews with Con
gressional representatives give the
promise that whatever opposition
to Hawaiian annexation arises will
not be of a strictly partizan charac-
ter. Our old friend Senator Nor
gan. stands true to the annexation
principles of the old time Democra-
CIV. Senator PETER seems to be all
right ON the proposition of bring
ing Hawaii under complete control,
although unfortunate in his con-
clusion that protectorate is the
best solution of the problem of how
that control shall be enforced.
The quiet condition of affairs
here seems to be the principal rea-
SON why immediate action will not
be urged. We are glad to note the
confidence placed in the Republic,
and certainly there will be no at
tempt to stir up discord to force the
issue. No one appreciates the gen
eral peaceful condition more than
the people here. At the same time,
there are forces at work which may
become more threatening and for
midable to annexation interests
than internal discussions. Settling
the question of control, placing
Hawaii beyond the possible reach
of any other power, except it is
gained by conquest, will be a move
which the United States will profit
by if it is promptly completed.

Today at noon the United States
Congress convenes for the short
session. With Democratic Press
dent, the House Republican, and
the Senate so evenly divided that
the free coinage forces can tie up a
tariff bill. and the new tariff advo-
Gates strong enough to block silver
legislation, it IS not improbable
that the principal work completed
at this session will be passing APP
preparation bills. That cOntending
factions should put aside hobbvs
when Congress-elect Is waiting to
begin work is no more to be ex-
pected than the working of mira
cles. An expiring Congress seldom
gets beyond the ''talkee talkee"
point in matters pertaining to the
changes in financial or revenue sys-
TENS. When a foreign foe threat
ems, all American political factions
hang together. Immediately the
foe disappears they hang apart.
Venezuela is settled for a time, and
Spain and Cuba are the only pos
sible foreign food likely to be fur
nished this CONGRESS.
