ALIENS 1wREsTINey DOCTRINE

Senator Allen of Nebraska must pos
doctrine, judging from his resolution
introduced in the senate yesterday.
Among the whereases were these:
Whereas. 1t is the established doc
trine OF the United States that the
western hemisphere shall be dedicated
To- republican form of government, rec
ognizing the political equality of hu-
man beings; and
Whereas, The principles of the Mon
roe doctrine, or the doctrine of national
self-preservation is as applicable in
wrestling any portion of this continent
from the grasp of foreign countries as
in preventing them from obtaining ad-
ditional territory. etc.
And then it is resolved that a select
committee of five senator's be appoint
ed to inquire into the condition of af-
fairs in Cuba, and to ascertain what
lawful steps, if any, are necessary and
can be taken by the United States to
bring the war in Cuba to a speedy ter
nina ton, and which will result in Spain
relinquishing her hold on the island.
The resolution is much better than the
preamble.
Where does the Nebraska senator get
his theory from that the Monroe doc
trine is as applicable in wrestling any
portion of this continent from the grasp
of foreign countries as in preventing
them from obtaining additional terri
tory" he never got it from Monroe's
message, that is certain. That message
declared in terms, that with the ex-
listing colonies or dependencies of any
European power We have not interfered
and shall not interfere" Quite different
that from the new-fangled Allen doc
trire. If there were rhyme or reason in
the Allen doctrine, then England should
be ordered out of Canada, the Antilles
and South America. France out of Gut
ana, Guadalupe, Martinique, st. Pierre
and Micuelen: the Netherlands out of
the West Indies; Denmark out of the
same. Would not this be rather a large
even for so great a coun-
try as the United States? The truth
of the matter is that the Allen doctrine
(Which has no relation to the Monroe
doctrine) is buncombe pure and simple.
The senate should never in the world
commit itself to the theory laid down
in the Allen resolution. The Monroe
doctrine is being used by cheap states
men for the same purpose that Shake
speare's plays are used by cheap liter
airy men-to connect their own names
with that of a great man.

THE FAcET1oUs SENATOR.

AS a facetious being, Senator Mason
is q great success; in fact, good stories
are his forte, but good stories, no mat
ter how good nor abundant. do not
make statesman. Lincoln was great
story teller, but his stories always
served to illustrate and clinch an argu-
ment; ne did not tell the story for the
story's sake.
When Senator Mason essayed the role
of an indignant statesman the other
day, and attacked the navy, he only
succeeded in demonstrating how far he
falls short of being a statesman. His
wanton attack on the navy department
has called forth universal condemna-
ton from the press of the country. The
Milwaukee Sentinel expresses the gen.
eral sentiment very well. It says:
It looks as if Senator Mason had over
reached himself at last. lie has had a
great deal to say, since his election TO
The senate. about the people and their
demands. This has awakened a little
curiosity. Who could these people be,
in whose name Mr.. Mason has talked so
much nonsense? The whole American
Ieople, he would probably say-an I'M
satisfactory answer, since one may as
sumo that the American people are not

have had in mind a special and restrict
ed class. whose heads are so weak
that they are pleased by his conduct in
the senate, by his noisy imitation of
patriotism, his bad manners, his con-
ceit, his swagger. his self-importance.
But in the last few days Mr. Mason
has done something which is likely to
convince him that he has misjudged
these peculiar persons whose agent he
processes to be, that he has exaggerated
the strength of their stomachs. He has
used il the senate. at time when a
national calamity has sobered most
men, words which can be con-
strued only as an attack upon the Of
hcers of our navy. No doub. Mr. Mason
was startled when he perceived the eff
feet of what he had been saying. The
telegraphic report lets one see that he
was disturbed by the spirited rejoinders
which he provoked from Mr.. Wolcott
and Mr.. Lodge. But unless the Asso-
ciated Press has done Mr.. Mason
grave Injustice, his attack upon the
naval officers was so explicit that it
cannot be explained away According
to this report. Mr.. Mason said he did
rot desire to reflect upon the motives
or honor of anybody, but he suggested
that the officials of the navy depart
ment. in making their investigation,
would be trying their own case and
would naturally endeavor to cover up
any blame that might attach to Them"

mittee OF inquiry is not to be trusted,

But for the position which Mr.. Mason
happens TO hold, fittle attention would
be paid to anything he might say or do
The accident which put him into the
senate gives to his words an import
ance chiefly artificial. Even in the par
ticGlar speech under consideration, Mr..
Mason has proved that his head is not
clear. Congress, he says in substance,

cause the navy department is not TO
be trusted. But what senators should
serve on this committee? The fair
minded ard judicial Mason? No AS
for himself, he would not, IL eligible, be
willing to serve on the proposed COM
mittee, as he would not want to sit at
the table with a Spaniard who might
have a stiietto under his clothes, unless
he himself was iron-clad." Then what
senators should be put into a place so
dangerous that the brave Mason Shrank
from taking it ? Mr.. Mason has told US:
There We're. however. other senators
who would be safe among the Spanish,
ard he was willing that they should
take the chances involved in the SER
vice on the proposed committee" Mr.
Mason, in short, has put himself on
record as preferrinS an inquiry con-

Mason distrusts these senators utterly.
He is continually making insinuationS

are preferable to officers of the United
States navy. And yet Mr.. Mason does
mot desire TO reflect upon the motives
or honor of anybody" We cannot help
wondering to what lengths he would
have gone if he had desired to reflect
upon the honor of the naval officers of
the United States.
Our conviction is that Mr.. Mason is
too Ear from clear-headed. too stupid,
in fact. to realz re what he has been say
ing. We do not suppose him capable
of looking at his speech as a whole
and seeing what differences are to be
drawn from it. But the duty of his
constituents is plain. They ought to tell
him, in some form that he cannot mis-
understand, exactly what they think of
his attack upon the navy. They ought
to tell him that a senator has some du-
ties toward his constituents. and that
one OF these duties is not to blunder
into outrageous calumnies oftener than
once in two weeks.
1t is a satisfaction to know that his
attack on the navy has been resented
by Democratic and Republican papers
alike. In the presence Of a possible
foreign war, the press ceased to be par
tisan, remembering before all else, that
it is American. 1t is this important
fact that Senator Mason overlooked.

LEW wALLAcE's REVELATION.

The only reason that General Lew
Wallace's interview on what President
Lincoln said about having to go to
Harrison's Landing to prevent McClel-
Ian surrendering, has not caused more
comment, is the fact that it came about
the time the Maine disaster did, and
that has been the one absorbing topic
since. One paper speaks of it as fol-
lows:
General Lew Wallace having in a re-
Ger address at Lebanon, Ind, declared
that President Lincoln said that
he must go to Harrison's Land
ing and prevent the surrender
by General Mcclellan of his army,
and that after this declaration he
did go to Harrison's Landing, Mr.
George Z. Cakes of Indianapolis. who
says that he served under General Nc
Clellan in the Peninsular campaign,
disputes General Wallace's statement
and challenges General Wallace to
meet him on the field of honor In this
latter proposition .Comrade Cakes
shows himself a palpable donkey. 1t
is agreed among the survivors of the
recent deplorable hostilities between
the states that McClellan's campaign
in the Peninsula, like General Lew
Wallace's conduct at the battle of
Shiloh, shall be a source of eternal dis
pute and discussion, yet without
wounds or bloodshed. Any amount of
oral and written statement is allowed
all parties, but hostilities other than
such as may be carried on by the open
palm or closed fist are strictly barred,
and duels with deadly weapons are
considered out OF the question"
Nothing could be more absurd than
to send Wallace a challenge because of
his statement. Let him talk if he wants
to; it is something in the line of his
business. which is writing novels. His
statement comes so many years after
the war, and even after the war over
the war memories published in the
Century. that little heed will be given
it. While people may not say they do
not believe it, yet they will wonder
very much why this important bit Of
history was kept so profound n secret
for so many years; they are apt to
think it barred by the statute of lin
itations, at least.

TIE vIzcAYA's VISIT.


1t is quite likely that the Spanish
armored cruiser vizcaya will depart
from New York harbor this week 1t
will be relief when the cruiser is
gone. She came at a time when an
American warship had just been blown
up in the harbor of Havana, and the
whole country was thrilling with ex-
element. It would be but natural if
the officers of the Vizcaya should feel
somewhat apprehensive for their yes
sel's safety. for the naval authorities
at Washington old, as was shown by
the elaborate precautions taken for the
vessels safety. These precautions were
eminently proper under the circum-
stances, and not to have taken them
would have been unwise What the
cause of the Maine disaster was is not
known. but there is more or less
widespread belief that it was not an &C
cident, but the result of design, though
there is less and less inclination to be-
lieve that the Spanish government Of
ficials were cognizant of or participants
in any way in any schemes to destroy
the Maine. providing there were such
schemes. But the presence of the Viz
caya in New York harbor is necessarily
a source of apprehension to the govern
ment, and no doubt the administration
will be heartily glad when she is safely
out at sea, where, if anything should
happen to her, it can by no possibility
be charged 10 any American citizen.
For the credit of the country and its
good name, it would be much better
that half the ships of. the new navy
went TO the bottom of the sea than
that the Spanish Vizcaya should meet
with treachery while in American
waters and on a friendly visit. The
ships could be replaced; a stain upon
the national honor would be indelible.
The honor of the nation is involved in
seeing to it that no harm befall the
Spanish warshiD while in New York
harbor. But it will be relief when the
cruiser is gone and anxiety for her alb
solute safety is removed.
