states depend, not upon sentiment OF
principle. but upon selfish interests.
There was no. temporizing in 1873
with questions involving the Monroe
doctrine, either immediate or remote.
The democratic administration did
not sit idly by and see a little sister
republic badgered and bulldozed by
IA world power but at once gave it
fair notice that it must keep its i'm
perialistic hands off of american
goods. And there was no clustering
about it. either. The firm attitude of
President Cleveland satisfied the Eng
| lish government that he meant bust
ness. and there was no more trouble.
The monarchieS of the old world
would like TO divide up South America
as they have South Africa. and make
the little republics their Grown col
onies'' as England has the little Boer
republics. And they have been hop
ing that the launching of this coun-
try into the imperialistic land grab
bng business would cause the govern
ment of the United States TO have a
fellow-feeling that would make il
lwondrouS kind.
While doubt less the republican adj
mniStration would. as the Springfield
Register says. concede to England and
Germany the right TO subdue Nenezu-
ella and compel it to mortgage its ter
ritory to them. il is not probable il
will do so. The people are not yet
prepared to indorse such II policy.
and the republican leaders now know
it. Perhaps after while when our
standing army is made entirely sub
servient to the control of the ruler,
and the imperial policy is fully estab-
lished. the Monroe doctrine" with all
that it implies may be abandoned and
the monarchies of the old world be
permitted if not invited to set down
to an American land-grabbing feast.
But. may that day never come.

Supreme Court Election.

The term of Joseph y. Carter as
justice of the Illinois supreme court
expires next year and the election
will be held Monday, June l, in con-
nection with the election of the cir
cult Judges. In some sections of the
state judicial nominations are made
by bar conventions and are non-polit-
zeal. but in the district in which
Judge Carter resides it has ever been
the custom for the political parties
to select rival candidates for the er-
mine.
There are II counties in the Fourth
supreme district. They are Adams.
Brown. Cass. Fulton, Hancock. Nc
Donough. Mason. Menard. Morgan.
Pike, Schuyler and Scott. Ordinarily
this territory is democratic. but
Judge Carter was elected by Il plural
ity of 4.201 through combination of
republican activity and democratic
apathy Judge Carter will doubtless
he renominated by his party and the
convention will probably be held at
jacksonville in March next. The dem
Ocratic nomination will likely be made
in the same city, as il is the most cen
trail and convenient for the district.
For purposes of comparison the
vote in the counties comprising the
supreme court division i given below.

Cleveland. Olney and Venezuela.

Whatever else may be said for or
against Grover Cleveland's admins
tratiOn of the office of chief executive
of the republic. the fact remains in
disputable that his foreign policies
throughout both terms were demo-
cratic and right. Had Mr.. Cleveland
been president of the United States
in 1898 we would not today have the
Philippine white elephant on our
hands: neither would England and
Germany have bOmbarded the Nene-
zuelan forts nor sunk the Venezuelan
vessels as they have done within the
last few weeks. 1t will be remem-
bered that England in 1895 attempted
to browbeat Venezuela into submit
ting to its demands in reference to
the boundary line between that coun-
try and British Guiana. President
Cleveland and his secretary of state.
Mr.. Olney, at once gave the British
such d notice, that, instead of sending
war vessels to Venezuelan ports to en-
force demands, the little republic re-
tanned its gold mines and England was
taught a lesson that it much needed.
Parts of what President Cleveland
said. and some things written to Pre-
mier Salisbury by Secretary of State
Olney are good reading now in these
days of Imperialism and world pow
ers.''
Mr.. Cleveland's message ended with
this famous menace:
''In making these recommendations
| am fully alive to the responsibility
incurred and clearly realize all the
consequences that may follow. l am
nevertheless firm in my conviction
that while it is n grievous thing TO
contemplate the two great English
speaking peoples of the world as be-
ing otherwise than friendly competi-
tors in the onward march of civiliza-
ton and strenuous and worthy rivals
in all the arts of peace. there is no
calamity which great nation can in
wife which equals that which follows
a supine submission to wrong and in
Justice and the consequent loss of ma
tional self respect and honor beneath
which is Shielded and defended peo-
pies safety and greatness"
Mr.. OIney's correspondence con-
tanned these emphatic utterances:
The United States is today practi-
cally. sovereign on this continent and
its fiat is law.
Our just apprehensiOns are not to
be allayed by suggestions of the good
will of European powers toward us,
for the people of the United States
have learned in the school of expert
ence to what extent the relations of

The vote on state treasurer this
fall is taken as giving a fairer and
more natural division of party
strength than is furnished by any
other office on the ticket. 1t shows
an off-year democratic majority of
$3.50. In the election of 1900 the same
counties gave democratic plurality
of 5.641. The advantage of figures is
therefore with the democracy. but the
republicans have the best of il in pos
session and organization and serious
~ expect to reflect Judge Carter.
nOn-partisan Judge is always
preferable, but if political lines have
been drawn by the republicans in the
Fourth as in other districts in the
state, and the democrats have the
show that is apparent from the fig
ures given, in Judge Carriers district,
the party should make a suitable
nomination and unite in strong eff
fort to win.
