sentences. He said that our first and
fundamental maxim should be never to

rope; our second. nevei to suffer Europe

announced what would be. so far as he
was concerned. and during his term Of

His personal preference for such a policy

As a matter Of fact. the Monroe Doc
Itrine has never 10 this day been embodied
in a joint resolution Of Congress The
tremendous Importance which the policy
lpropounded by Monroe now possesses in
the minds Of the world is due exclusively
TO the fact that it has received the con

successors in the White House. and that

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Sir Frederick Pollock Presents the English View of 1t

We have so often had occasion to crit
icise in English newspapers or reviews
mistaken conceptions OF what we mean
by the Monroe Doctrine" that we are
glad 10 welcome an English interpreta-
tion OF that principle OF American policy
which IS entirely correct and adequate.
We have in mind the views expressed
in an address delivered by Sir Frederick
Pollock to the London Chamber Of Com
merce. which address has been repub-
Hshed with additions to the text and
with foot-uotes in a recent number Of
the Nineteenth Century"
In the first place, Sir Frederick Pol
lock brings out clearly and cOnvincingly
The importance OF the part taken by
George Canning. then British minister
for foreign affairs. in instigating, by
precept and example. the declaration Of
our intention to Withstand any attempt
on the part Of the Holy Alliance to aid
Spain in the subjugation Of her revolted
American colonies. The dates cited
speak for themselves
on August 20. 1S23-before the purpose
OF the Holy Alliance to hold a confer
ence IN Paris TO concert measures for
assisting Spain in adjusting the affairs
OF the revolted countries o. America
and moro than three months before
Monroe communicated 20 Congress the
message propoundlng the doctrine asso-
ciated with his uame-Canning proposed
20 Richard Rush. then the United States
minister in London. concerted action u
prevent such interposition on the part OF
the Continental powers.
II is further pointed out that on 0cto-
Der 9. 1s2S-nearly two months before
President Monroe communicated his IA
nous message, and before any assent &C
the British proposal for concerted actor
had been given by Mr. Rush-Canninl
in an interview with the French ambas-
sador az ST. James. declared that. while
Great Britain would remain strictly neu
trail in a war between Spain and the col
onies it would view the junction OF am
foreign power in an enterprise OF sDaii
against the colonies as constituting al
entirely new question, upon which sucl
decision would 5y taken as the INTEREST,"
OF Great Britain might require; and. fur
ther. that any foreign interference. b.
force or By menace. In the dispute be
tween spain and her colonies, would b.
regarded as a MOTIVE for recognizing tn
independence Of the latter without de
lay.

Warner for Governor.

Search having already begun IN Il
Hnois for a gubernatoriS- candidate dis
cove-y seems to have been made OF the
availability OF the Hon vespasian
Warner. At any rate. suggestions Of his
candidacy have been hurled so rapidly
in his direction OF late that the gentle
man from the Thirteenth district has
been unable to side-step quickly enough
TO avoid them.
When Mr.. Warner returned TO Wash
ington a month ago he had no suspicion
Of the sort of a job the people OF his
state were preparing for him. He was
content to know that his constituency
had been so pleased with his service in
Congress as to return him for another
term by a substantial majority. But
the Hon. Mr.. Warner had no sooner
crossed the border into Indiana and was
speeding on to Washington to resume
his Congressional duties than some
designing person. taking advantage OF
his absence, started a Warner guber-
natOriel boom. Il was like applying a
lighted torch TO a haystack The
Warner agitation swept across the
Prairie State like wild-fre. consuming
everything political before #. In due
time the news reached Washington, but
then the boom had grown 70 such pro-
portions that Mr.. Warner could not with
discretion and propriety stop its further
imitation. What he did do. however, was
gAr
OF starting it. From one person to
another the responsibility was traced
until it could no longer be shifted. and
was found to rest upon the publisher

the police during the raid Of a club

who subsequently, challenged to duel
the prefect Of police responsible TOT the

I'm 1877 in New York his first wife, rich
Cuban heiress. Dona Marie Della Tore
D'Armanderos. who died about ten
years afterward.
His two marriages have had the effect
OF placing him beyond that want TO
which he was subjected IN his younger
davs. For It was in the winter Of 1917
that he was reduced to such extremity at
Paris that he was found starving In the
streets. actually begging for aims ana
forced TO spend the nights among the
trampg and Migrants on the benches oil

him he was recognized by a Carlist
noblcman. who took compassion on his

Indeed, from that time forth the King
