DEPEW IND THE MONROE DOC
THINE.

Chauncey NJ. Depew is an entertaining
talker He has the misfortune of being
man of high order of wit and humor;
and as respectable duIlness is an essential
quality in all who would aspire to
place in the worlds high esteem while
living, Mr.. Depew's great depth of phil
os0pnS, scholarship and ability as
statesman pass for very little
Mr. Depew gave the newspapers of New
York the benefit of his experiences and
observation while in Europe from which
he had just returned. The resulting pub
lished interview embodies very com
prehensive statement of the relation
now borne and likely in the immediate
future to be borne by the United States
toward European nations in the world
of trade. as well as of diplomacy
No portion of Mr.. Depewfs Interview is
more interesting or entertaining than
that which refers to the understanding
which European nations have reached
within a short time of the real signif-
canoe to them of the Monroe doctrine
Says Mr.. Depew in this behalf:
Europe has just grasped- the full mean
ing Of the Monroe doctrine, and unani-
mouSly resents it. The old world wants
larger trade with South America; coaiing
stations for fleets on this side of the
ocean, 'both in the Atlantic and Pacific,
and a free hand for protection of citizens
and commerce in the several states of the
are all agreed and ready to act and can
not understand that the Monroe doctrine
is as much part of the settled policy
of the United States as its constitution"
Our attitude of guardianship towards
the South and Central American repub
lies is purely gratuitous. No such rela-
ton has ever subsisted between these
states and the Latin-American comnunt
| ties south of them, either politically or
otherwise, which would justify us in set
ting up as their protector. Excepting per-
haps Mexico alone, there is no one of the
! ever borne towards us the feeling of posi-
tive affection. Even at this moment while
the American people are endeavoring to
launch the Cuban republic, Cubans do
not hesitate to display their dislike of
this people and their government.
| AS distinguished from this, the Eu-
ropean states are the creditors and the
customers of South and Central America.
| The closeness of trade relations and the
obligations which attend that character
! have led Central and South American
! people to look to Europe with at least a
feeling of friendly interest 1t would be
| remarkable, indeed, if the old world I'M
der such circumstances were to freely
yield to the United States the ,pre-erri-
inence which it seeks. raafs
Mr.. .Derew incidentally declares in the
above language that the Monroe doctrine
is as much a part Of the settled policy
of the United States as its Constitution.
He is mistaken, or else he is taIking
for political effect Whether it be Ito
the ultimate gain or loss of this people.

Gov. Shaw, Of Iowa, has at last got
himself before the public as a candidate
for president in 1894. 1t was a proper
move on the part of Shaw to come out
thus early. He is a small man, politi-
cally. and viii need three years in which
tc grow enough to warrant the mention
of his name in the convention. Shaw is

The arrest of Messrs. Bourne and

Whitehorne all go far to satisfy the peo-

Mr. Bourne appears to have been due en-
