A WARNING FROM MEXICO.
Danger in European Coalition Against
America.

Mexico City.-The Mexican Herald
says that the warning given to the
American people by the London Spec
tator to prepare for the eventuality
of European coalition against the
United States and the Monroe doc
trine is timely. Europe desires to
humble the new power which has
arisen on this side of the Atlantic
and throw open South America to
European conquest and colonization
That in taking the Philippines the
United States subjected itself to en-
barrassment and invited jealousy and
by that act the great republic Of the
west injected itself into the interna-
tional area in provocative manner.
But it was in line with the tenden-
ces of a nation that is essentially in
dustrial and commercial and has
what no European nation except Rus
STA possesses viz a Pacific coast line
The Philippines acquisition has pro,
foundly modified all American poll
ces, as ex-senator Edmunds, Of Yer.
mont, and other publicists have point
ed out. 1t is now the duty of the
United States to create a still more
powerful navy, to make ready great
force of fighting men and be prepared
to defend itself sooner or later, il

The Republican politicians in two
or three counties of the State who
have been planning for the passage
of bill abolishing spring elections
have not yet abandoned their scheme.
They have been closely watching the
situation, carefully counting noses and
assiduously counting the favor of the
Legislators, with the result that Mr..
Meeker, ssof Elizabeth, introduced "by
request bill in the Assembly in
tended to carry out their designs. y =
The agencies favoring the abolition of
spring elections are located in some
large cities where there are politicians
who care more for gaining a few local
offices than they do for continuing a
Republican government in the State.
The Republican newspapers who are
not controlled by such influence are
very generally opposed to the anti
spring election movement.
We do not know what is the title of
the Meeker bill, but we do know that
it should be designated as can act
providing for the election OF Demo-
cratic governor in the State of New
Jersey. "--Hackensack Republican.

Arnold had, in fact, to return 70
Philadelphia, in order to get his wit
ness, and this. explains the delay
before the re-assembliug of the Court.
He was subsequently reprimanded by
Washington in delicate terms.
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1901-02-22

oath required in such cases; and IN
September, 1779, he had been adver-
tised as guilty of charging prices
higher thanIthose which had been pre-
viously fixed by public meeting of
his neighbors.
General Arnold was tried on several
charges, all rather trivial and only
two of them considered by the Court
to have been in any degree well
founded. One of these was that he
authorized a vessel to enter an Ameri-
can port which belonged to persons
living in Philadelphia when it was in
the possession of the British and
therefore of doubtful loyalty to the
American cause. The other was that
he sent public wagons to remove pro-
perty in which he had an interest and
which was in imminent danger from
the enemy, and as to this the Court
found ''that General Arnold intended
this application as private request,
and that he had no design of employ
ing the wagon otherwise than at
his private expense, nor of defrauding
the public, nor injuring or impeding
the public service. F" The fact seems
to be that Arnold had enemies i'll high
position who prosecuted him almost
without cause. He had been in COM
mand at Philadelphia after the British
had left the city, and had given great
offense to Jealous patriots by his
conciliatory tone toward those who
had endeavored to remain neutral and
in some cases toward known tories.
He had married Margaret Shipper,
whose friends and connection were
chiefly tories, and of whom Andre,
the gallant British officer, had made
handsome sketch which is still pre-
served by the Shipper family. He
appeard to have made some efforts to
make money privately, and not to
have been entirely punctilious in his
methods. When charges began to be
made, he treated the civil authorities,
of Pennsylvania so cavalierly that
they became his bitter enemies and
demanded his trial by court-martial.
Such wrangling while the war was
going on, without due cause, was
wicked as we'll as stupid. After the
trial was over, and Arnold had been
sentenced to be reprimanded, the
prosecutors themselves made an
official request as follows; "We find
his sufferings for and services to his
country so deeply impressed on our
minds as to obliterate every opposing
sentiment, and therefore'beg leave to
request that Congress will be pleased
to dispense with that part of the sent
ence which imposes public censure,
and may most affect the feeling of
brave and gallant officer. We
hope General Arnold's merits and
services will be remembered when
all objections to his conduct are long
