What Is authoritative knowledge? Is

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
The American Habit Of Letting Foreign
Nations settle Their Own Affairs.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: on
May 0. 1885, Senator. afterward Presi-
dent, buchanan, in a speech In the
Senate upon the Affairs of Texas'' said I:
consider Santa Anna an usurper. The
Federal Constitution established for the Re-
public OF Mexico. and which Texas as n part
OF that republic had sworn TO support. has
been trampled on by him. and Texas In my
eyes and In the eyes Of mankind. was Justi-
fed In rebellIng against him. As man and
American I shall rejoice to see them sue
cessful In maintaining their liberty. :
These are the sentiments Of my heart But
when am called upon as Senator TO reoog-
nize the Independence OF that country I
think II prudent to refer back to the CON
Duct OF our ancestors when placed In SINH
lar circumstances and to derive lessons of
wisdom from their example.
II any one principle OF our public policy
has been well settled. one which has been
acted upon by every Administration and
which has met the appreciation not only
OF this country but OF every civilized Gov
eminent with which we have had inter
course, II was that we should never inter-
fsre in the domestic concerns of other ma
lions Recognizing in the people of every
nation the absolute right to adopt such
forms OF government as they thought proper,
we have always preserved the strictest neu-
trality between the parties In every country
while engaged In civil war. We have left
all nations perfectly free. so far as We
were concerned. to establish, to maintain or
to change their forms OF government, ac-
cording to their sovereign viii and pleasure
We can never, with any proper re
gard for the welfare OF our constituents
devote their energies and their resources to
the cause OF planting and sustaining free
institutions among the people OF other ma
tions.

There can be no doubt that the city
parks are underpollccd and that not
merely rowdies but careless and un-
needing citizens otherwise law abiding
take advantage OF the situation. Gem
trail Park shows serious deterioration
from its spick and span condition u few
years ago. The grass borders, the
bushes are damaged, benches are cut
and hacked. the whole place is Uttered
disgracefully after day that brings n
large crowd OF visitors But the small
parks suffer far more than the big one.
The condition OF one or two in Harlem
would he discreditable to vacant lots.
lhere, as well as on the Edst Side,
rowdyism often runs rife, and at night
respectable people hesitate to enjoy the
air in the breathing spaces. II is Just
as important to police the parks as the
streets, or more so, since comparative
seclusion affords more chance OF I'M
punity for misconduct. The situation
calls for immediate and vigorous action.

The solution In Mexico.


So long as PoRFIRio DrAz ruled there
was no Mexican problem for the United
States. The investments of foreign
capital were protected and the Monroe

not challenged or questioned. What a

Powers that ask only such protection
Of their interests as the Monroe
