In the executive branch, the Registers

Register.
And the governor is right In refusing
to pay attention to partisan charge
which emanated from the Imagination
OF mendacious critics. It Is not the gov
ernor's duty to pay attention at all times
to petty partisan newspaper assaults,
nor to render to the Register personal
account. His stewardship, no doubt. will
be accounted for to the people of the
state in the proper way and at the proper
time, as is becoming to the dignity Of his
high office; or, at least, that Is all that
is expected by the people.
The Registers unselhsh desire ITO
qule. criticism and prevent scandal" Is
touching. There Is no scandal to pre-
vent, and criticism that IL inspired by
partisan malice doesn't need quletlng.
AS to The contingent fund.- the Register
should not forget that large par. of the
amount named was available during the
closing months OF the governors prede-
cessor. The Intelllgencer does not know
the particular items for which the fund
has been used, bu. It has faith in the
governors honesty, something which no
man has ever questioned.

that OF the Venezuela case grows out of a
misunderstanding OF what the Monroe
doctrine Is, and ignorance OF the two in
ternatlonal incidents referred TO.
In the first place, the Monroe doctrine,
which was enunciated by President Mon
roe, and two years ago reiterated by
President Cleveland, stated that the
United States could not view an inter
position of European powers for oppres-
sing American governments. or control
ling In any other manner their destnles,
In any other light than manifestation
of unfriendiy disposition toward the
United States, In laying down this prlu-
clple President Monroe said;
THE principle in which the rights and
interests OF the United States were in
volYed, that the American continents by
the free and independent condition which
they have assumed and maintained are
henceforth not to be considered as sub
jects for future colonization by any Eu-
ropean power"
This principle was peculiarly applIca-
Bile to the Venezuelan incident, but in no
sense did It apply to the Haytlan affair,
Germany expressly specifies that she has
no intention of either colonlzlng or an
nexlng the island, and until she under
takes such course the United States
should have nothing to do, beyond a
proper lookout for the interests of her
own citizens who may be in Haytl,
Germany simply took measures to
force an apology for wrong done Ger
man citizen, and the Monroe doctrine
could not have applied, unless the
kalser's representatives had undertaken
to overthrow the HaytIan government,
or to take possession OF the island In the
name OF the emperor. Our European
critics seem to have become somewhat
confused, and as the stupid comments re-
ferred to come mainly from the Spanish
press they are traceable to a desire to In
tenslfy the antl-Amerlcan feeling among
the Spanish people,
