dependence and territorial integrity.
1t will not encroach upon their freed
ON of action, even to save them from
unpleasant consequences. 1t will not
interfere to protect them from the just
claims or resentment of other powers,
so long as this stops short of attacking
their independence or taking their ter
ritory.
Foreigners are always saying, ''If
the United States will not let us deal
with these republics as states respon-
sible for their acts, why does it not
make itself responsible by assuming a
protectorate?" That is a complete
misconception of the Monroe doctrine.
This does not relieve the republics of
tull responsibility to other powers; it
only requires, in the common interest
of all America, that satisfaction shall
be obtained or punishment administer
ed without extension of European SOW
ereignty over any part of free
America.
Recent Venezuelan history illus
trates the case on all sides. We risk
ed war with England to prevent her
taking territory from Venezuela with
out arbitration. Now both Great Bri-
tain and Germany are threatening
Venezuela, and she appeals to us in
vain. Great Britain proposes reprisals
for interference with her commerce
by a paper blockade and Germany un'
dertakes to collect an old debt by
force of warships. We refuse to join
them, though we have the same griev.
ance as the English; but we also re-
fuse to interfere to protect the repub.
lie from anything but loss of territory
or independence. There is no room
for misunderstanding the Monroe doc
trine after this.

SECURES DAMAGES.
Dr.. Vance Wins His Suit Against the
Town of EddyvilIe.

Ottumwa, Nov. 29.-The jury in the
case of F. e. Vance VS.. the town of
Eddyville, rendered a verdict award
ing the plaintiff damages to the
amount of $1,000. The amount asked
for in the petition was $4,000, but the
cost of the case to the town of Eddy
vile will amount to almost that, in
GLIDING the damages proper, the at
torneys' fees, and the court costs of
the case.
The petition was originally filed on
account of injuries sustained by DR..
F. E. Vance, the plaintiff, by reason =
falling near a building in course OF
construction. The plaintiffs claim
was that the side walk was not in
proper condition and that the right
care had not been used by the builders
and the town to prevent accidents.
