BAD GANG CAUGHT.
Three Brothers Arrested NJ Detroit
ON - Charge Of Making Coun-
terfeit Money.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 15.-lnfor-
nation has been received by Chief Will
kie, of the treasury secret service. of
the arrest at Detroit, Mich, of a gang of
counterfeiters whose operations have
given the government considerable
trouble. They are Charles, Edward
and David Johnson, with headquarters
at 7e5 Twenty-sixth street from which,
through the efforts of Secret Service
Operative Webb, the department has
secured some of the important para
phernaia used by the men. Charles
and Edward were arrested on Friday
OIL the charge of passing counterfeit
quarters and this was followed up Sat
urday by the arrest of David and
search of the premises where the coun-
terfeiters' outfit was secured. Chief
Wilkie regards the arrest as a most
important one and he Identifies the
men with the issues of the Hancock
and Window two-dolar counterfeits
which have been circulated freely in
the west and also in the east during the
last eight years. At the headquarters
of the gang the officials recovered the
face and back plates from which the
Hancock counterfeit was made and also
the plates for making the large and
small seals on these bills. There were
also taken so two-dollar Hancock and
500 two-dollar Window bills--the latter
being regarded as the best all around
counterfeit which made its appearance
up to the discovery of the 500 silver
certificates in the spring of last year.
The men treated these notes with
glycerine before they were put out
which gave them the appearance of
having been in use for some time and
made their detection almost an impos-
sibility.

NOT A DEAD POLICY.
M.sconception in Europe Regarding
the Monroe Doctrine.
The Course of United states In Pres
ent War Strengthens Rather
Than Weakens Its
Position.

The London correspondent of the
New York Tribune writing under date
of July % says: English writer's on
American affairs assume that The Mon
roe doctrine, on behalf of which Pres
ident Cleveland issued challenge to
England two years ago, has been aban-
doned or compromised by the United
States government in the present con-
hict with Spain. An expression which
we constantly hear in conversation and
read in print is: "Monroeism is dead"
The misconception arises from con-
founding the Washington farewell ad-
dress doctrine with the complement of
il in the Monroe doctrine. The Wash
ington principle was that Americans
must remain out of European alliances
and entanglements. The Monroe prin
ciple was that Europeans must keep
their hands off the American con-
tinent, retaining their possession ac-
cording to the status quo, but not en-
larging their colonial holdings and
conquests. The status quo is not re-
spected in a war waged for the deliv
erance of Cuba and Puerto Rico from
Spanish rule; but the essential prin-
ciple of Monroeism that European
powers are not TO enlarge their ter
ritorial dominion and political SOW
ereignty in the western hemisphere
will not be renounced nor compro-
missed. The Monroe doctrine will be
strengthened rather than impaired by
l.. l.
Cuba. Monroeism, instead of being
killed off, is vitalized and reinvigor-
ated by the enlargement of American
influence in the West Indies.
What English writer's on American
affairs fail to perceive is the irreleven-
cy of their own Interpretation of the
Monroe doctrine. The principle of
Hands off the American continent" is
emphasized rather than minimized
when Hawaii and the Spanish West In
dies are brought directly under the in
fluence of the United States. If Euro
pean governments respected the Mon
roe doctrine until 1898 and made
10 attempt except on one occa-
sion-in MeXico-to increase their
OH llldl
were enlarging their possessions in
Asia, Africa and the South seas, they
will be unlikely to reverse their policy
when the American flag is raised in
Hawaii and the West Indies after
successful war and significant demon
stration of American naval efficiency.
If they were 10 do this they would
speedily be convinced of the vitality of
Monroeism. The invasion and occupa-
tion of the Philippines imply renuncia-
tion of the Washington doctrine of
non-intervention of European affairs.
This is what English writer's really
have in mind when they speak of
reputation of Monroeism two years
after the Venezuelan question was
raised in an aggressive form. If the
doctrine is at stake in the South seas
that quarter they will enter upon a
career of expansion which may
menace European interests and draw
them into entanglements with foreign
powers. The Monroe doctrine will not
be affected by the settlement of the
Philippine question. The Washington
Americans proclaim protectorate in
and may be fatally compromised if the
Philippines are retained as a perma-
nent American dependency.
