Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1899-08-17

Mr.. Ed. Jones who departed from
here for trip to England the same
time as Rev. II. Kent, has returned.
His object was to once more see his
beloved mother who is now over SO
years old. and whom he bid good bye
about 36 years ago, when he embark
ed for America. Ed, says that il is
surprising what changes those 81
years have brought about. He knew
no one and no one knew him, not
even his mother and sisters, who re-
quired days to reconcile themselves
to the fact that he was the long alb
sent son and brother, and besides
the scenes of his romping boyhood
had been so transformed that lie felt
like a stranger in n strange land.
The meeting with mother after so
long a separation was the happiest
event of his life, worth far more than
the time and money required to
make the trip.

The Recurring Evils of strik,,.

The renewal of rioting in Cleveland by
the street-car strikers and their sympa-
thizers. after the strike had apparently been
definitely ended, reveals one of the prime
dangers of this method of settling differ
ences between the employee and the employ
er. AS The Star stated editorially the 9TH
er day. the men have won their contention
that their union be recognized by the COM
pany. That was originally the prime issue
of the contest But in securing the decis-
ion by virtual appeal to force the strik-
ers created new conditions which made set
tement difficult and injected a grave dam

Cape Colony and the TransyaaI.

Meetings were held at Cape Town Wednes-
day evening for the purpose of expressing
the sentiments of the English residents in
the matter of e dispute between England
and the South African republic. The spirit
displayed at those meetings may explain
the earnestness with which the government
AT London is now pressing its demands
upon President Kruger for redress of the
grievances of the Outlanders in the Trans
vaal This spirit was one of warning that
if the position recently taken by Sir Alfred
Miner in his conferences with Kruger be
not vigorously and unfiinchingly sustained
by the home government there will be seri-
Gus danger of the secession of Cape Colony
from the empire. There is no questioning
the apprehensions of these South African
English cOlOnists in the matter of home
protection They have witnessed with
grave concern the previous inability or in
disposition of the imperial government to
secure amelioratiOn of the condition of the
Transvaal Outianders. The failure of the
jameson raid embittered them They real
ize, perhaps more keenly than do others
who are farther from the scene that the
British prestige is seriously threatened in
this controversy, and that upon the action
IL the government depends much of the
future prosperity of the British colonists in
thr southern portion of the continent. The
Jameson raid was planned at Cape Town
and it is believed that it expressed the
sentiments of virtually the entire COLONY.
The threats of secession may now be idle.
yet they indicate an intensity of feeling
which doubtless the ministry has appre-
ciated. Mr.. Chamberlain's recent Birming-
ham speech was of the sort to please the
Cape ColOnists. 1t was heartily cheered at
the meetings at Cape Town. Cape Colony

The Monroe Doctrine Again.

That * an interesting item of news from

discussion of the Monroe Doctrine by the

case Naturally the French press rldlcules
the doctrine. 1t has always taken that
view Of the question, as. for that matter,
have European newspapers and officials
generally. But this present discussion will
Of course include reference to the appear
ance of the United States as the controlling
power in the Philippines. which. 1t is con-
tended has vitiated its claim to be the dom
inant power in the affairs of this hemls-
phere. We are certain to have something
new and aggressive on that line, and much
Of il will probably be echoed by anti-ex-
parsion newspapers and politicians in this
country.
For it so happens that the more promi-
nent of the anti-expansionists hotly repu-
dated Mr.. Clevelands Venezuelan message.
They insisted that it was wholly unwar-
ranted and pitched in false key. To be
sure. from their arguments and illustra-
tons it was impossible to see how the
Monroe Doctrine could be applied at all.
As expounded by them, it had no practical
meaning whatever. They would not ad-
vance beyond the proposition that the
United States should Skinny on its own side
in this in every other quarter of the
globe. leaving the wide world to waS as it
might.
But Mr.. Cleveland's message was sus
tanned by a very large majority of the
American people. They accepted the Olney
assertion of the national power and duty
and We're willing TO back it up if necessary
with the full measure of the national re-
sources.
BY majority quite as large and earnest
the American people will now reject the
proposition that any of their claims the
dominant power on this side of the world
have been abated or impaired by the TAX
ing on of the Philippine Islands. They still
adhere to their supremacy in this hemis-
phere. and may point to the fact that so
far from being unwelcome in the orient
they were assured that their presence is a
source Of no little satisfaction to all of the
great powers.
The Monroe Doctrine is a very live doc
trine-neVer more so than at present. If
recent events have made any change the
change has been in the direction of
strengthening this government in all of it's
contentious of whatever character.

The Cup Defender.

The continued success of the Yacht CO.
lumbia In the races with the Defender is
most encouraging to the American hope
that the cup will be successfully defended
next September. The Defender was built
for the regatta of 1895, when Lord Dun
ravens Nalkyrie III was entered in COM
petition. In the trial races early in the
summer she proved decidedly superior to
the Flgilant. which had won from Dun
ravens Valkyrie in 1893. Thus the De-
fender may be regarded the best yacht
turned out of an American yard up to the
present season. Her performance in the
races of 1895 was as satisfactory the IN
pleasant circumstances attending the re-
gatta would permit. On the first day she
beat the British yacht by minutes and
40 seconds in breeze which experts be-
lieved to favor the foreign competitor In
the beat to windward she outsailed the
Valkyrie III by about 31a minutes and on
the return by about five minutes, thus
showing her superiority in both kinds of
work. The second race was a disappoint-
ment. Just before reaching the starting
line the Valkyrie III fouled the Defender
her boom carrying away the latters spread
er and springing her topmast. The Ameri-
can yacht was sailed over the triangular
course under protest, losing by Al seconds
corrected time. The Valkyrie III led on all
the legs by narrow margin The day
after the regatta committee awarded the
race to the Defender on a claim of foul
whereupon Lord Dunrayen protested against
the crowding of the excursion boats and
demanded a clearer course. The committee
could not guarantee this condition and the
competitor withdrew his yacht, the De-
fender sailing over the course of the third
race alone and being awarded the final de-
cisiOn. Thus in the two actual tests the
Defender proved herself to be somewhat
superior. for the second race, actually won
Defender, was not fair test in view of
the damage TO the American yacht. Nev-
ertheless American yachtsmen have never
been fully satisfied with the performance
and welcomed Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenge with great eagerness. Thus far the
Columbia has proved herself to be superior
to the Defender in various kinds of wealth
er and in both windward work and before
the wind, out-footing and out-pointing her
opponent. For a new craft, fresh from the
hands of the builders, she has performed
remarkably well. Her severest test will
come July q, when she will meet the De-
fender in a formal contest over a course
to be decided upon in view of the weather
off New York bay. Meanwhile there is no
report of the qualities of the Shamrock.
which is virtually INFESTED. But if the CO.
lumbia fulfills her present expectations
there must be something of a marvel in the
capacity of the Irish yacht to permit her
TO carry off the long-coveted trophy.

SO. 900. 600. The Senate ratified the treaty
embodying that bargain and thus con-
firmed the title of the United States in con-
junction with the Spanish cortes.
For some time previous to the war with
Spain and continuing throughout that war
and during the peace negotiations and the
deliberations of the Senate the treaty
an Instruction had been in progress in the
group, particularly in the Island of Luzon.
The insurgents were subjects of Spain.
The success of the United States had en-
couraged them to renew their efforts to Sc
cure independence, while they received fur
Their encouragement from the attitude of a
minority of the Senate and certain citizens
of this republic who urged that the archi-
pelago be given over to these insurgents
for Independent government. When the
treaty of peace was signed they became
subject by the letter of the international
agreement to the sovereignty of the United
States. which had been formally ratified by
the constitutional authorities.
Thus when title formally passed to the
United States the President found GER
tain body of the inhabitants in revolt
against American sovereignty. 1t was a
continuing condition which had in effect
been transferred with the title. 1t was a
when it ratified the treaty. 1t was as
though the President were to be confronted
in the state of New York with an insurrec-
ton against the federal authority requiring
the use of the national forces. He acted in
exact accordance with his constitutional re-
quirenents ana proceeded to execute the
mandate of the Senate by seeking to es-
tablish the sovereignty which had been
confirmed by that body
The so-called war in Luzon is in fact
the expressed effort of the executive to ex-
ecute the law. Congress was in full under
standing of the case while 1t was in ses-
sion and took no steps to prevent the per-
The situation called for no formal declara-
ton save of prohibition in case the houses
had viewed the expressed executive pro.
gram with disapproval. The President
needed no direct authorization to maintain
the peace in the federal Jurisdiction save
him. Congress in fact gave virtual assent
to the campaign for the establishment of
sovereignty and the pacification of the ISL
ands when 1t provided for a temporary in
crease of the army to 100000 men.
There is no flaw in the record. Every
thing stands on a constitutional basis. Had
the conduct of the anti-expansionists been
as well regulated in observance of the fun
danental principles of the government as
have been the acts of the administration
there would have been no war"

The West and Expansion,
From the st. Joseph (NiO.) Herald.


Speaking of the sentiment of the people
of the west toward the Philippine question
the Washington Star says: THE people of
the west are alive to the emerge ncy The
little popuiistic clatter of protest and COM
plant which was at one time heard in Min
nesota and the Dakotas has entirely died
away, and the only note heard now west
OF the Mississippi is that of encouragement
for the country in its difficulties and du-
ties The Star correctly estimates the
situation. The people of the east make a
grave mistake when they think that Bryan
represents the sentiment of the west Let
them but heed the utterances of other DEM
ocratlc leaders, and they will find how deeD-
seated is the sentiment of loyalty to the
government. The west has never shirked
when duty called. Because it is the terri
tory that the policy of expansion brought
into the Union. its people believe that ex-
pansion Is entirely harmonious with its
principles and purposes. The Wilderness of
the west makes for largeness In it's Deo-
pie No narrow contradiction nor craven
fear finds Judgement here. We possess the
Philippines, and we are not to leave them
until we are ready to CO.

out this bargain. The strikers now con-
tend that the company Is not living up to
it's agreement. which is denied, while the
cars which are manned by the non-union
men whose temporary retention in service
was granted by the union are treated as
during the strike by the mobs in the street.
Thus does one strike breed another. A
far better method of settling the differences
between street railway employers and en-
ployes is just now reported from Brooklyn,
where one company yesterday, after pa
cific conference with committee from the
men. agreed to establish ten-hour. two
dollar day, thus following the course which
fas been pursued in Washington and some
other cities.
