There Are Others.

The two significant facts about the
present political situation are the man.
ifest disposition of the free silver rebels
from the Republican ranks to ride the
tariff issue back into camp, and the
general acquiescence Of the sound
money Democracy-which is equivalent
to saying the real DemOcracy--in the
proposition that the Mckinley adminis-
tration should lose no time in replen-
ishing the wasted revenues. Both
classes. if not by words at least by their
actions, show comnendable degree
of dissatisfaction with their own for
mer work. The ore Is ashamed of its
bolt end the other Is Just as sincerely
ashamed of it's tariff bill. This, of
course, is as 1t should be.
But there Is n growing possibility of
peril just at this point. 1t may be ac-
cording to human nature that the fat
ted calf should invariably be served up
hot and aromatic for the delectation
of the prodigal son; but just the same

brother who. during the juniors expen-
sive wanderings, has remained duti-
full and trustworthy factor in the do
mestic economy and attended strictly
to business. 1t Is good to have the
family reunited and to gather around
the festive board some meritorous chill
dren by adoption; but let us not make
the mistake of suppOsing that the best
way to encourage loyalty and fidelity
is to reserve the finest honors for rebels
and former enemies.
We would not utter one word which
could be fairly interpreted as desiring
to cast red pepper amongst Republic
canism's present happy family. The
spectacle just now on view is touching
and superb. Not since the day when
Noah manned the ark has there been
more realistic 4:emplification OF
peace and brOtherly love than is sup
piled in the newly found determination
with straight party men of Mugwumps

as heartily as the next man can. 1t Is

not that We sought to prevent the do
ing by Great Britain of an injustice
to Venezuela, but primarily that we
proposed to call a halt on European
colonization and aggression for our
own safety and protection. Our inter-
est In Venezuela was only secondary,
and incidental. We had no wish to
see her desooiled; but her spOliation
would probably not have brought from
the United States government more
than a mild-mannered protest had not
1t been apprehcnded that such spolia-
tion might open the way to future eX-
tensions of European sovereignty on
American soil and thus prove prejudi-
cial to our own welfare. In other
words, our course was governed funda-
mentally and pre-eminently by the su-
preme rule Of self defence. II Lord
Salisbury can figure out from such a
premise that we have obligated our
selves to do police duty in all the
republics to which the Monroe doctrine
applies" he can do what no other To-
gician can.

Our Interest in Venezuela.

Closer study of the later stages of
phasizes the importance of the ac-
quiescence of Great Britain in Secre-
tary Olney's proposal of arbitration.
The basis of our interference was that
1t had become the established policy
of the United States government to
discountenance the extension of terri
tory of foreign powers in the western
hemisphere. We accepted Venezuela s
statement that Britain was trying to
grab territory not its by right as suf-
ficient ground for demanding that the
titles to this disputed area should be
submitted by England and Venezuela
to impartial arbitration. After much
parleying and some buster, Lord Sails
bury has substantially agreed to this
demand. but instead of recognizing
Venezuela as the opposing party to the
arbitration, he names the United
States, thus virtually conceding our
claim to paramount influence and NOR
al sovereignty in the three Americas,
which Secretary Olney formulated in
the dictum that "the United States is
today practically sovereign on this con-
tinent and its fiat is law"
The attempt Is being made by or
the world the idea that inasmuch as
our paramount influence has thus been
recognized in Pan-American affairs,
we can be held to account by European
nations for the transgressions of our
sister republics. As the Toronto Globe
phrases it. Lord Salisbury, by carry
ing on the negotiations regarding the
Venezuelan boundary with the United
States. puts that country in q posi-
tion where 1t must do police duty in
all the republics to which the Monroe
doctrine applies. 1t is manifest, for
example. that IL the arbitration be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States regarding the boundary dispute
results in an award of the territory
beyond the present line of settlement
to Great Britain, the United States
will have to force Venezuela to give
UP the territory and SO carry out the
decision. The responsibility of guar
dianship will scarcely be as popular
at Washington as the assertion of pro-
tectorate powers. but 1t will teach the
rulers of the republic that one cannot
assume the right to prevent ones
neighbor from doing things that deserve
punishment"
This line Of talk. however. is based
upon very transparent sophistry. The
tenor Of the Monroe doctrine as applied
to the Venezuelan controversy, was

Pingree on r1ckinley.

There is no more picturesque per-
sonality in American politics tnan
GCvernor-elect Pingree, of Michigan,
the man whom the corporations could
not beat. 1t will be remembered that
Pingree originated, while mayor of De
troit, the scheme of utilizing vacant
lots as potato patches for the benefit
of the poor; that he forced the street
railway companies of Detroit to ac-
cept franchises Offering ample recog-
milton of the public rights, including
free transfers and three-cent fare;
and that when the corporate interests
of Michigan, scared by his boldness,
marked him for slaughter and turned
the unanimous press of Detroit against
him, he used bulletin board to COM
muncate with the people. ran away
with the Republican gubernatorial
nomination and against every eXpecta-
tion came in 10000 votes ahead Of Nc
Kinley.
Pingree has been visiting Mckinley
at Canton, and this Is what he says
about the president elect: IF ever a
candidate realized that he owes his
election to the people, and not to the
gang, the major Is that man. talked
to him about trusts and corporations.
and found that he knows as we'll as
anybody that they are rotten to the
core. He recognizes that they are one
of the greatest evils of this country.
He knows that something has got to be
DONE and he's all right. 1t was Nc
Kinley who wrote the antitrust plank
in Harrison's platform in 1892. They
may talk all they want TO about Mark
Hanna being president. but they'll find
that William Mckinley is going to be
president himself"
OF course this talk needs qualfca-
ton. Corporations are not in every
case or necessarily great evils. They
are often and ought always to be great
blessings. If the corporations in this
valley, for instance, We're summariy
abolished. there isn't man from For
est City to Nanticoke who wouldn't be
brought face to face with tremendous
and immediate losses and it would
practically ruin the community. There
is no just quarrel with corporations
nor with the economic principle Of as
sociated effort. The quarrel is with
notorious abuses of this principle;
with captures of public privileges by
ncfarious means for what amounts To
public plunder even if we do not at all
times have the boldness to call it by so
blunt name. In this quarrel every
honest man Is bound to stand on the
honest side, and we haven't doubt that
William Mckinley stands there Just as
resolutely as Hiram S. Pingrce does,
although he may not be quite so reck-
less and indiscriminate in his methods
of coping with corporate abuses.
In fact, the insinuation to the con-
trary is of Popocratic origin, and its
purpose is simply to poison the popular
judgment against the presidept-elect
and thus embarrass the success of his
administration. 1t is too thin trick,
though, to deceive persons with COM
mon sense.

Let Us Have Peace.

II the Democratic charge is true that
the election Of Mckinley was secured
by means Of profuse promises OF en-
ployment and of wage advances by the
Republican managers, the latter can
at least have the satisfaction Of point
ing to the prompt and general fulfill
ment Of those promises. A conservative
estimate Of the number Of day labor
ers benefited by the resumption OF sus-
pended industries or wage advances
since election day places 1t at 2oOOoo.
II we estimate further that each one OF
these workers supports four other per-
sons, we have a grand total of 1.OOO,O 600
persons directly and Immediately bene-
fited by the defeat of Bryan and Bryan
ism. And, of course, 1t Is Impossible
to benefit these million persons without
benefiting their neighbors and relatives
and friends. The same causes when
bring better times to their door will
brings 1t to yours and ours.
In the light of these palpable facts
which gleam along the horizon of de-
pressed business like the rays of the
rising sun, how short-sighted, to use
a moderate word. is the action of Mr.
Sovereign and his associate Knights OF
Labor at Rochester in reiterating their
belief in the Bryan platform and In re-
vamping the old charge that worKing-
men who wanted to vote for Bryan
were in great numbers coerced into vot-
ing against him. There might be ex-
cuse for such declaration on the score
OF consistency If the election of Mckin-
ley had not been followed by widespread
and very evident Improvement in the
state of general trade; but to put it
out in the very teeth Of all these evil
dences Of returning prosperity is not
bravery nor devotion to cherished
cause; it is simply an exhibition OF
stupid and bigoted perversity.
Equally misguided is the course OF
Mr.. Bryan himself in starting out,
within fortnight after the citizenship
of his country had rendered a deliber-
ate and emphatic verdict adverse to his
candidacy and to his cause, to reopen
the argument and retry the case. Here
again we have, not bravery, but sheer
bravado. The part of wisdom would
have been to bow gracefully to the will
of the majority; to allow to Major Nc
Kinley and his friends a full, free and
fair opportunity to test the merits of
their claims and then to have shaped
future activities according to the de-
gree Of success which should have at
tended that test. The notion that after
four years of Democratic misrule the
country wants four more years Of Popo-
cratic blatherskiting is justified by no
perceptible fact and rests wholly on a
perverse and perverted Imagination.
