WASHINGTON TALKS.
About the Davis Definition of
The Monroe Doctrine.
Special TO TIE HERALD.

Davis resolution enunciatinG
the Monroe doctrine. the main
features Of which were publish
ed today, has caused considera-
bic comment among senators
and others. 1t is known it is
the intention Of the senate COM
mittee to make the resolution
declare what is the utmost lin
it TO which the Monroe doc
trine tan be applied. In an
swer to the report that there is
some opposition to the declara-
ton by the United States of
what the Monroe doctrine COW
cred. ii is said by advocates of
the Davis resolution that every
time question arises in which
the Monroe doctrine is involved,
some foreign government inter
ested makes the point that the
Monroe doctrine is not APPROX
ed by the American people, but
if once formally adopted by
congress, it will forever settle
the question of foreign aggres
sion on the American continent.
The reports concerning the
British flying squadron stirred
up the friends of the resolution
and they declared, if the report
that it was bound for the Der
nudes were confirmed, efforts
should be made to call up the
Davis resolution and rush it
through the senate as soon as
possible, even to the displace-
ment of the silver.
1t is said by men prominent
in foreign affairs in congress
that England could make no
greater mistake than to send
her fleet to Bermuda. One of
the most pronounced advocates
of the Monroe doctrine said to-
day that the American people
were slow TO rise, but they
would resent with their whole
strength anything that conld be
considered a menace. Contin-
uing, he said that in the Trans
vaal and other troubles, the
United States had refralned
from adding to Great Britain's
embarrassment, but if the great
fleet assembled at Port Louis
was TO be sent to waters adj
i cent to America, instead of
serving to make the United
States hesitate in the matter of
q declaration and enforcement
of the Monroe doctrine, it would
have an opposite effect "The
United States" he added,
"would by the Davis resolution
make it clear that under no
circumstances will any viola
ton of the Monroe doctrine be
allowed.;'
1t is agreed by all senators
that the most important part OF
the Davis resolution is that
which asserts that the United
States shall be sole judge as to
whether the Monroe doctrine
has been violated in any arhi-
tration or agreement or In the
settlement of n boundary dis
pute between a foreign govern
ment and one on the American
continent. 1t is said by those
favoring this clause that ii

Put a ring around the word
--opportunity-- the occasion
makes it. Never in the his
tory of mercantile transac-
tons in Honolulu have
the people had such a
a golden opportunity to Sc
lect "a lamp as today. A
manufacturer who had more
than he knew what to do
with, more than he had
space to put them, wrote US
of his troubles. We had
none Eof our own so we
listened to him. Our stock
of lamps is the result of his
tale of woe and you get the
benefit.
A black lamp that will give
a bright light is not a fad,
but a style that will remain
until New Hawaii" shall
become old. Being sombre
in color they furnish with
any decorations you may
have in your room and any
color shade that suits your
fancy will look we'll on the
lamp.
For a dinner table nothing
furnishes the table better
than black banquet lamps.
We have them, not Cumber-
some, but of a height that
will b. autify rather than de-
tract from the other features.
We have piano lamps, hall
lamps, boudoir lamps and
every other character of
lamp that ever was made.
The prices are so low that it
would injure our business to
put them in this column.

burn there are opportunities for him
to invest it here. One of the gentle
men who invested in California land
to the extent of nearly a hundred thou
sand dollars in 1889, told me the other
day that he would sell out at fifty cents
on the dollar if he could get it and in
vest it in sugar stock. This gentle
man told me of a man who put a great
many thousand dollars in California
land about the time of the boom who
is today working in Honolulu for a
hundred dollars a month.
president Dole is familiar with
these cases and he knows a good thing
when he sees it. If he had money TO
invest he would not send it to Califor-
MIA. If he has money to bank there
are institutions here for the purpose.
Your story is not a new one. 1t was
old last year and the President was
spoken to about it. The denial you
get now is the one he gave then, and
in this respect what was good in 1895
holds good today. With the excep-
ton of the orange grove President
Dole's investments, if he has any, are
in Hawaii.

Fine Ones to be Sold at Auction.

At nine o'clock tomorrow morning
in compliance with the request of q
number of lovers of art the collection
of paintings by Hugo A. Fisher will bd
sold at auction by James F. Morgan al

Company.
This exhibition of paintings has been

have been open they have been fire.
quented, not only by purchasers, but
by artists, teachers and pupils of the
public schools Mr. Fishers methods
are different from those of other ar
lists and may be said to border on the
peculiar. He gets results in his pic
lures that are not found in the work
of other artists of either the old or
modern schools. 1t is the bold fearless
handling of his subjects and the real
istic effects which make his pictures
valuable TO the student or collector.
Shortly after his arrival here Mr..
Fisher was reported as incompetent
to paint from nature; that his paint

Fishers ears and TO prove that his

Tho Congressional Districts

The absolute quiet which prevails In the
two congressional districts of Vermont
upon tho eve Of the conventions which will
virtually elect the representatives OF this
State in the Flfty-Fifth Congress, would
surprise a stranger to our staid Vermont
ways. Probably no two congressional dis
trlcts could he named in the country less
disturbed by rivalrics for nominations for
Congress. The district conventions will
meet; but their action will be purely per-
functory and need not occupy moro than
twenty minutes Of time apiece. Our two
able and experienced congressman are
already virtually nominated to succeed
themselves. In the First District. so far
as we are aware, no man is so much as
pointed out as n possible future successor
10 Congressman Powers, and there is not
tho slightest ripple OF opposition to his
denomination. The Second District is I'M
derstood to possess several aspirants to
congressional honors. but none OF them
cares to present himself at this time; and
Gen. Grout will be renominated by accla-
nation. All of this is SO we'll underss TODD
that the matter is treated as settled and
arouses only passing interest en- tho part
of the voters. That Vermont is strongly
represented in the lower as well as In the
upper branch of Congress. is an acknowi
edged fact. and its representation will re-
main unchanged IN tho next Congress.

EDMUNDS AND PROCTOR
HAVE A WORD TO SAY ABOUT THE
VERMONT DELEGATION.
Edmunds Made no Aiiusion to Candidates
Proctor suro tho Delegates viii
stand by MoKinisy-Thinks Him
snfe on the Money Question.

Philadelphia, May 25.--"I think that the
interviewer was mistaken In his quotation
of Col. Smith. made no allusion to can
didates, but did express the extreme i'm
portance that felt was attached to o
platform on tho financial question. / said
the platform ought TO express with abso-
lutte elearness the position Of the party on
that subject, ono that could not be risun-
derstood in one sense In one State and in
another sonse in ANOTHER state and I
said that any party that undertook to
straddle deserved TO be beaten"
This explicit statement was made by
ex-senator Edmunds TO the Boston Jour
nal correspondent at his Philadelphia
home. Mr. Edmunds was good deal
surprised when informed by the Journal
correspondent OF the publication of his
letter to Col Smith, and was somewhat
puzzled when he learned the interpreta-
ton that had been put upon II.
From his statement II is plain that q
construction was put upon what he wrote
to Col. Smith which perhaps he did not
intend. Although Senator Edmunds has
his preference as among tho candidates
for tho republican nomination and believes
this to be a year when the party should
put forth its strongest and safest man, no
has not gone out OF his way to influence
the choice OF delegates or to influence
their Judgment when chosen any more
now than during tho years when he served
his state in the Senate. He has no doubt
that the republicans Of Vermont will sup
port whatever candidate may be nomi-
mated, but from tho words quoted above
II is plain that he regards tho currency
question as vitality important issue, and
II he were to name the republican candi-
date would select the one who could most
consistently stand upon such n platform
as he has outlined.

st. Adams exceeds the amount received
in the whole collection district OF Port
land, Me And IL is to accommodate the
large customs business at this port as we'll
as the postsf1ce necessities OF a largo
town that this appropriation Is asked.
Now, I ask the members OF the House TO
observe tho ground on which the dlstinc-
ton between this case and those already
rejected really rests These other pro-
jects which have boon voted on are where
there was an increase In the limit-where
there was a new authority to be granted.
Here no authority Ia TO be granted to erect
a public building; that already exists. The
simple request Is for the money to rebuiId
it. Tho fire destroyed the building, but
did not destroy the law authorizing 1t;
that still exists, and this Is an appropria-
ton in accordance with that authority.
Tho arguments of our congressman were
we'll received, but the battle was not yet
won. The question on receding from the
disagreement to tho Senate amendment as
reported from tho committee and concur
ring in the same having been put before
the House and voted upon, Speaker Reed
announced that the noes seemed to have it..
Congressman Powers thereupon called
for n division of the House, but the
amendment again failed Of passing. the
vote standing a ayes to 90 noes. Judge
Powers then called for the yeas and nays,
but yielded to the suggestion OF Gen. Grout
that tho vote be taken by tellers The
vote was taken and this time the result
stood 10 for the amendment to IS against.
Tho fthl meaning OF this victory does
not appear until 1t is known that the
only other Senate amendments to the
sundry civil bill which escaped slaughter
in the House were those opproprletins
$4,000 to q up the basement OF tho federal
building at Los Angeles, Cal, for postal
business and ssssoo9 FOR public buildings
and land in washington. The members Of
the Vermont delegation $. we'll as the
people OF st. Adams are, therefore, to be
congratulated upon the passage OF the
amendment In question.

The Vice-Presidcncy again.

The bennington Banner thinks that tho
FREE PRESS has been trying to "be-
little" the Office OF Nce-President. and
to show that Senator Proctor is too big a
man for 1t. This paper has not tried 10
beittle the office. II II has been bclittled
by any body IT was by the makers of the
Constitution who created the Office but
attached to It no patronage. power or
duty other than that OF presiding in the
Senate without vote except in case OF a
tie. OF course the office Is an honorable
one,--the FREE PRESS has intimated
nothing to the contrary-and 1t has been
held by some distinguished men, to whom,
however, 1t added little IL any distinction.
Some who have held the position have
not considered it TO be an enviable one.
The late Viee-Presdent William A.
Wheeler during his incumbeney of the Of
fce once said to the editor of this paper.
that he found himself without power or
patronage that any leading Senator or
Congressman had moro influence on leg
islaton and moro TO say about the dlspen-
sation OF federal Offices than he had; that
10 accept the office was to go upon a
shelf; and that he regretted that ne ever
accepted II.
or course, as we have said In a former
article, the Office has a high contingent
Importance; BUTT is by no means the case,
as stated by our brother OF the Banner,
that the Vice-President /. usually rec
ognzed as, next TO the President, the
foremost statesman in his party" Is
Adlai Stephenson recognized rs the second
statesman in the democratic party? Was
Levi +. Morton recognized as greater
statesman than JamesG. Blaine, or George
r. Edmunds or Justin 8. morrill,? Did
Thomas A. Hendricks stand higher as a
statesman than Thomas F. Bayard or
Daniel Manning or dozen other demo
Gratis that might be named? How many
OF the Vice-Presidents in the history OF
tho United States were. while holding that
Office, recognized as tho foremost states
men Of their respective parties? And OF
those so recognized, how many were there
that did not owe their rank as statesmen
to something besides theVrce- Presidency
The Office is an honorable one, and OF
high contingent importance; but its i'm
portance is ohtchy contingent.
AS for Senator Proctor We need not say
to the Banner that We should be glad to
SEQ him promoted to any office higher
than that which he now so worthily holds
that would be attractive TO him. We do
not believe. however-and we are not
talking without some grounds for our be-
lief-that the Vice-Fre.idency would have
any attractions for him even IL he con-
sidered it possible that it could be tender
ed to Vermont man; and, II we are not
mistaken. he has told more than one OF
his friends that he prefers his seat In the
Senate to any other political position. II
the Banner has later and better informa-
ton about this than we have. we shall do
fer TO its superior knowledge. Meanwhile
we retain our opinion that It would not be
promotion for Senator Proctor to become
Vice-Pre.ident; that he does not desire to
be put in the position OF an aspirant TO
the place; and that 1t Is not probable that
that ONCE will fan to any New England
State
