The determination of the Grand
Army of the Republic to invite Gen
eral Miles to head their grand parade
at the encampmcnt to be held in
Washington next October, is a
source Of serious annoyance to the
friends of the President OF course,
General Miles is the most distingu-
ished member OF the c.. A. r. He
is the most noted survivor Of the
Civil war, since Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan and number of others
have passed away. Coming from
the people, without the aid of
West Point education, General Miles
has attained the highest rank in the
army and that, together with the
fact that he served shoulder to
shoulder with the men of go. '6s,
makes him dear to the G.. A. X,
but he is in disgrace with the
administration. Colonel President
Roosevelt has had occasion to scoId
him and would have retired him had
not an influential delegation of SEN
tors and representatives gone to the
White House and threatened to
blockade all legislation recommend
cd by the President il he did; and,
being in the black books Of Colonel
President Roosevelt, he has no right
to occupy a position Of honor or
Importance in the G.. A. r. parade,
and especially in Washington. Ii
is even hinteG that il the General
accepts the invitation the Colonel
Commander-in Chief will prolopg
his stay in the west so that he will
not be in Washington on the day Of
the great procession, but the time is
still distant and it Is probable that
his better advised friends will not
allow him to so seriously afrob the
the veterans during the time they
are guests ia the nations capital.

WEALTH OR ADJUST.

Mr. John D. Rcckcfelled has so much
money and so many calls upon him that
he has established a regila: slit hui eau,
ana is giving away his non,y ga lusi-
ness like manner. He discovered lons
ago that some Of his gifts were uiwise.
and did more harm than sof,d. he found
that he was imposed upon. aid nc fund
that in some instances TIE m neY which
he gave was not usei for the rest IT,
poses Therefore he '.e:c:':,:n,d tn c11:-
ploy good and Wis. man nd pat him
over a number of CLERKS Wit, the idea
of thoroughly investigate rs every 'clrest
for money, either scom inh"rlduals Or
churches or charitable organizations. he
selected as his agent 4 common sense
Baptist preacher. and ;,ut him Ill IT the
head of the bureau. AS the Claims coiie
in they are examined by trusted clerks.
and some OF them. go int' the waste
| basket as soon as. they :;re opened. Others
are passed up to the preacher in chars..
| and these again go through the sitting
process. Finally when he has selected
| such as he thinks Mr.. Rockefeller snouli
! see. he passes them along with or without
his recommended ton. Mr.. R"ckafeilcr then
| finally disposes of them.
1t requires as much discretion to give
| away money as to make it. Indeed
| morally speaking. it requires more,
| for in making money a man
has only his own moral welfare
to deal with, whereas in giving
| it away he has to deal with that of the
| recipents. Money in the hands of some
people is a curse. 1t may make man
| dissipated or it may take away his energy
and self reliance. If Mr.. Rockefeller
should give his fortune away without ex-
| ercising discretion he would bring many
| men and women to their ruin through his
| benefactions.
| But the interesting part of all this to
| US is that in this day many rich men
regard their 70. tunes as money held in
trust, and feel that they are responsible
to God for the manner in which they
6ispose of it. That is the correct view.
Money is not necessarily an evil. Money
does not necessarily destroy mans soul.
On the contrary. 1t may be employed by
a good man to enla sc his heart and to
de.-elop the very best traits that are in
him. 1t all depends upon the point of
view It all depends upon the motive. 1t
all depends upon the question as to
whether man regards his money as
thing to be used for his own selfish in
diligence. or as a thing to be used for the
good of humanity. It is not money but
the love of money that is the root of
evil.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Attention has often been called In these
c,,,,,.,,ns 10 the fact that we got our Ia
,.ous Monroe doctrine from England FRO
fexsor Woodrow Wilson. in his History

~, Monroe" says he. took
an carly opportunity to doncstcate. as

voted colonies Of South. America back to

cada to her prayer Mr. Canning, EnS-
lands watchful minister, saw at once the
roril there would be in that to England s
trade in the south. He proposed.
therefore, to Nr. Rush, the American min
lister in London. that the United States
should join with England In protesting
AGAINST the attempt of any outside power
to restore Spain's authority in America.
Mr. Adams. the Secretary of State. did
not relish the suggestion, though he ap-
moved the object. Mr.. Monroe ac-
cented his view in the matter. A diier-
ent but no less effective step was taken.
In 1872 the President had recognized the
Independence of South American republics.
In his annual message of December, 1S.
he fold Congress and the world what at
tit;1de he meant to take toward any at
tempt on the part of the European powers
to extend their system to any portion
m This +emisphere' 8 No one could
mistake the meaning OF the words. and
Snain's plans in the south We're given up.
This Is all the more interesting In view
of the fact that England is one of the
powers that are now disciplinlng the Ven
ezuelaa republic, and in the estimation OF
some sensitive and nervous people tres
passing upon the sacred doctrine which
President Monroe declared at England S
suggestion. Assurance comes from the
President that there is no damage to the
Monroe doctline in the present crisis, and
that he has a perfectly friendly under
standing with the European powers in
yolved. Indeed, it is intinated that the
President is quite willing that thc South
American republics shall have an object
lesson, that Castro and all adventurers
like him may understand that they cannot
!.iSo behind our skirts in their endeavor
t., escape payment Of honest debts. If
the incident is finally closed without dis
agreeable complications, as doubtless it
will be, the spanking which Venezuela
has received will not have been in vain.

EXTREME VIEWS.

Tho time has fully come" declared
the Rev. DIR. n. D. l5illis. OF Brooklyn,
',Gcl every patriot to put himself on rec
ord against labor unions and the union
1oan's boycott of products of non-union
men that is destroying our little shops
and factories all over the country, ruin
ing lives and breaking the hearts Of in
Vulnerable poor people. who have no
voice, no newspaper organ, no friend to
lift the shield above the:n-ilo defender.
Nothingis to be gained by overstating
a fact The saInc2rsortnof extreme talk
has been INDUCED il. with reference to
CORPORATIONS. The time has not come to
abolish either labor unions or corporations
They are both the products of natural
conditions, and they are here to stay.
There is much good in both; there is
scmc evil in both, but the good predomi-
mates and the good will triumph by and
hy. The corporations tried the policy Of
defying public sentiment, of taking adj
vantage of their power to limit produc-
ton and put .lp prices, but they soon dis
covered that in order to succeed they
must make their goods popular, and that
this was to be accomplished by giving the
best article at the lowest price. Having
adopted that policy. having popularized
their goods. the trusts have made money.
and they are learning more and more
every day that conservatism is the bes.
policy.
Iaborers have a perfect right to organ
re. and we do not blame them for or
garizing. What can one poor workman
do against a rich and powerful employer?
lie must submit to rules and regulations.
however drastic they may be, or surrender
his job. But when he and all his fellow
employees unite in an organization they
have the power to prevent their employer
from tyrannizing them They can enforce
all their rights. Ell just demands.
But the labor unions have in some in
stances used their power unwisely, and
whenever they have done so they have
suffered for 1t. 1t requires much discre-
ton In the exercise Of great power. and
the labor unions must exercise that dis
erection, must act in such G way as to
gain the confidence and good will of the
public. else they will not succeed. Tiers
are wise men in the labor unions and they
are learning lessons. as the wise men in
the big corporations have learned. Labor
unions are learning that it will not do
to violate contracts; that it will not do
to demand higher wages than conditions
justify: that it will not do to destroy
property or Interfere IN any way with the
rights of others. As they learn these les
cons better and better they become more
and more established, We have no idea
that such organizations will be abolished.
NO believe that there is sense enough
and conservatism enough among the la
borcrs of America to manage their affairs
IN such a way as TO gain the confidence
and respect and support OF tho general
public

WHAT is MODERN DEMOCRACY :?

Speaking of the letters which The Times
published in answer to the requests tor
views on the proposed Democratic con-
ference. the Stanton News says that
most Of our correspondents Very properly
discourage the idea. and adds:-- $50
It is bad enough to have to write a
platform when you have to write 1t. We
do not mean by this that 4 party should
fear to define its position on public ques-
tons but the distinction we would draw
is between cardinal principles and their
application to specific cases. One trouble
with platforms is they are usually pre-
pared too long in advance of the time
when action must be taken. the situation
usually having greatly changed IN Tue
meantime. If parties would confine pro-
nouncements to fundamental principles
and leave their representatives to apply
these principles as occasion arises. 1nev
would escape much embarrassment and
many charges Of inconsistency.
.Pronouncement as to Fundamental
principles was all that The Times asked
for. 1t was never our Idea that the pro-
posed conference should undertake to
write q platform and so into details con-
corning political questions of present in
tereSt, but simply ana So!cly tHdl IL
should declare itself as to well-recognized
Democratic principles.
Some may say that this is not neces-
sary, as the principles of the party have
been time and zsain declared. But what
man is there in the United States who
can to-day stand up and declare Tor a
certainty what are the principles of the
Democratic party? There have been so
many strange utterances by Democrats
and BY Democratic conventions. there
have been so many men of such wide diff
ferences who have undertaken to say
what Democracy is. there have been SO
many disputes among those who profess
and call themselves Democrats. that it
is hard for anybody to say what are the
principles OF the national Democratic
party. Therefore it seemed to US wise
for the true Democrats of the country to
redeclare the principles Of Democracy and
we thought it was we'll for Virginia to
take the initiative. Apart from every
other consideration The Times would be
very glad indeed TO know upon what prin-
ciples the national Democratic party
stands to-day.

When General Fitzhugh Lee returned
from Cuba several years ago and the
reporters tried to interview him, he re-
piled ;ocularly in Spanish. He was most
discreet, and let no word drop that could
in any way embarrass either himself or
the administration. We Ink the General
would have done well to preserve the
same discreet silence. now that it is all
over. we do not think that it comes
either in good taste or in good grace for
him to be telling tales on Mr. Cleveland
at this late day. He was President Cleve-
lands confidential agent in Cuba, and his
communications to the President were of
a confidential nature. Moreover, Mr..
Cleveland was one OF the most valuable
friends that General Lee ever had.
