According to Lord Salisbury's opinion
the Monroe doctrine is not international
law. It may not be so considered by
the diplomats of Europe but they will be
given to understand before the Vene
zuela affair is over that these United
States inteud to write it on all he stat
ute books published on this side of the
Atlantic. They may regard it as law or
not in Europe, but over in this hemi
sphere, ignorance of what they should
know will not save their hides.
Au.es G. Thirmak, the "Old Ro
man," idol of Ohio Democracy, died at
1;15 P.M. Thursday of last week at his
home in Columbus. The death of Mr.
Thurman was a painful shock to the
general public. The immediate cause
of his death was the fall he sustained
gome w eks ago, and from the effects of
whicu it was thought he had partially
recovered; but his apparent improve
ment was temporary only, and the end
had not been unexpected for some time.
The "Old Roman" was S2 years old on
the 13th of last November' and had it
not been for his accident a month ago
he might have lived a number of years
yet, for the feebleness of age had not
overcome him.
The Philadelphia Press as well as
Chairman Carter, of the Republican
national committee, sounds notes of
warning that the Republicans are get
ting entirely too bumptious in theii
claims. The Press sees in recent muni
cipal elections an indication that the
people are growing restive under this
bumptiousness. It makes this state
ment: "Three years ago when the Re
publican landslide began it made its first
appearance in the cities. Communities
which had been governed by Democratic
mayors and councils elected Republican
mayors and councils. Indianapolis for
instance, gave the first intimation that
Indiana would go Republican by choos
ing a Republican mayor, and Chicago
and Milwaukee foreshadowed the great
overturns in Illinois and Wisconsin by
returning large Republican pluralities in
the election of city officials.
"During the past few weeks, however,
the drift in cities appears to have been
in the opposite direction."
And then it recounts recent Demo
cratic successes in cities of the country,
concluding with this warning:
"It will be well if the Republicans
take note of these warning signals held
out from cities and ask themselves if in
the confidence of an assured return to
power they have not done something to
weaken the trust of the people and ulti
mately bring upon themselves such an
emphatic rebuke as the Democratic
party has received."
Is the house at Washington on Wed
nesday Mr. Ilitt (Republican, Illinois.)
introduced a bill appropriating $100,
000 for the payment of the expenses ol
a commission to examine into the
boundary between Venezuela and Brit
ish Guiana. Mr. Bou telle, Republican,
of Maine, suggested reference to a com
mittee, but made no objection to imme
diate consideration. After brief, stirring
speeches by Mr. Ilitt and Mr. Crisp,
Democrat, of Georgia, urging united and
Fpeedy action as essential to the success
ful prosecution of the contention by the
I'nited States in regard to the boundary
dispute, the bill was passed without a
dissenting vote.
The only matters that occurred in the
senate on Wednesday having any bear
ing on the question of a possible war
with Great Britain were the introduo
tion by Mr. Chandler, Republican, of
New Hampshire, and the reference to
li.s committed on military affairs, of a
bill appropriating $100,000,000 to
strengthen the military armament of
the United States; the introduction of a
Jjill by Mr. Hill, Democrat, of New

President Cleveland sent yesterday has
been delivered to congress since the mes
sages autedating and immediately pre
ceding the war ot lS12and the Mexican
war. Peaceably if we can forcibly if
we must, is the spirit of the paper.
There is not a weak sentence in it. The
Monroe doctrine is to ' be maintained
against all coiners as essential to our
safety as a nation, the integrity of free
institutions, and the tranquil mainte
nauce of our distinctive form of gov
ernment. It cannot become obsolete
while our republic endures. If the bal
ance of power is justly a cause of jealous
anxiety in the old world, for which Eu
rope has often gone to war "none '.he
less is an observance of the Monroe doc
trine of vital concern to our people and
government." Theparallel isa striking
one.
Applying all this to England's claim
to Venezuelan territory, the president
comes to England's rejection of arbitra
tion proposed by the United States, and
declares such rejection far from satisfac
tory and deeply disappointing, especially
wheu it comes from one of the great
powers of the world, touching its rela
tions to a weak power. The British pre
tense that an extension of present
boundaries, recoguized by this govern
mpnt. i not to be considered in the
light of conquest is not admitted, I
thev are held to be practically one and j
the same thing, and clearly coming
within President Monroe's definition of
a policy "dangerous to our peace and
safety."
In direct response to England's rejec
tion of arbitration the president advises
that a commission be constituted by
this government ' to determine with suf
ficient certaiuly for its justification" the
true divisional line between Venezula
and the British colony of Guiana. The
president advises prompt appropriation
for such a commission, and when its re
port is made, he says," It will be the du
ty of the United States to resist by every
means in its power, as a willful aggres
sion upon its rights and interests, the
appropriation by Great Britain of any
lands, or the exercise of governmental
jurisdiction over any territory which,
after investigation, we have determined
ot right belongs to Venezuela."
This is the climax and sting of the
message. Great Britain refusing
to arbitrate, we propose to arbitrate
for otfrselves, and maintain the
award made, no matter where it leads
to peace or to war. That is the plain
sense and meaning of the message. If
there is to be any backing down it must
be by Great Britain. There can be no
retreat from the position thus taken by
the president, without national dishonor
add humiliation.
Time will disclose, but we do not be
lieve in all the land there will be dissent
from the declaration of American policy
embodied in this message, or the pur
pose avowed to maintain this policy.
The time is here to redeem our 70 years'
talk of the Monroe doctrine with posi
tive deeds worthy a great nation, consci1
ou9 of its rights and of its power to make
those rights good.
There will be no war, says the Haxris
burg Patriot, with England over the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, or at least
the ratio of chances is against war.
Notwithstanding England has been the
most rapacious and perfidious of nations
she has been so only in furtherance of
self interest, and self-intsrest will make
her hesitate to war with the most power
ful nation on earth for the retention of
a small strip of country, the keeping of
which will inevitably cause the loss of
many times its area in some other part
of the world. The beginning of a war
with the United States will also be the
beginning of the dissolution of the
British empire as sure as the sun shines
on a cloudless day.
But if England violate all the rules of
chance and decide to fight this country
has nothing to fear. England has a
great navy and a large standing army, it
is true. She had these in 177C, when
the colonies had almost nothing. She
had them in 1S12, when the states were
still feeble and without the military ex
perience and equipment of England. In
both instances, it will be recollected, the
aggressor was well trounced. The war,
if any, will be a long one. There will
be no rush and a crash. England will
undoubtedly occupy Venezuela and pre
vent the landing of United States sol
diers with the aid of her powerful fleets.
No doubt this will be the program, and
England will indeed have the advantage
at the outset. But only for a time. We
are 'accustomed to early reverses. We
suffered these in the revolution, in 1812,
and the North remembers Bull Run.
Eventually the way to Venezuela will be
made clear. Fighting will not be re
stricted to Venezuela. We shall quickly
get battleships and cruisers ready for
sea and the God of battles who has not
deserted this country in its struggles for
the right in the past will not desert it
now.
And if there be war it will not begin
for a year or more unless some overt act
of the enemy precipitates it. In the
meantime we should have every navy
yard, every armor plate mill, every ord
nance plant and every ritle factory pre
pare for war. We are in sad need of
ships and guns, and should have them
quickly. And yet, as has been said, the
chances are against war. There will be
none if England back down and this
6he will probably do.

No ME
Washington Letter.
iYyjton- D- C, Dec , 14, 1S05.
Democrats have ec."iL reason to be sat
isfied with the congreSBiomtl -outlook.
If the Republicans adopt the poTuMr of
introducing fake impeachment resolUN
lions fr the purpose of abusiug Demo
cratic oll'u ials, instead of doing some
thing to relieve the distress which they
had so much to pay about during the
last congressional campaign there will
certaiuly lie a reaction in favor of the
Democratic party. And that reaction
will be equally certain to come if the
Republicans do any tariff tinkering
along the lines of the McKinley bill.
The Democrats are not responsible for
legislation in either house or senate;
they occupy a position which will enable
them to accentuate Republican mistakes
and to prollt thereby.
Senator Hill has reintroduced his reso
lution for a cloture rule in the senate
and has announced his intention to
make a fight for it, and the large num
ber of new senators men who are not
bound hand and foot by tradition
makes him believe he will succeed.
Senator Gorman didn't let the report
that he would not be a candidate for re
election get well started before he called
it down. He will be a candidate, and
he is confident that he will be able to
pull Maryland back into the Democratic
lines and be re elected to the senate.
Senator Cameron's announcement
that he would retire from public life at ,
the close of his present term was a case
of "must." Quay had served notice on
him that his place was wanted, Camer
on has also 6topped putting his good
money into that presidential rathole
The stories about the winning ana
losing of votes between the ballots taken
by the Republican national committee
to decide upon the city which was to get
the convention doubtless make good
reading for those who do not know the
facts. The only one of those competing
that never was in it was San Francisco,
notwithstanding its standing second
when the convention was knocked down
to St. Louis the orders had been given
out by the Piatt (juay-Reed combine
that the Pacific coast must be jollied by
giving San Francisco a large vote, but
not large enough to carry the convene
tion there. The convention was sold.
There is no doubt about that, and either
Chicago, Pittsburg or New York could
have secured it by raising the bid of St.
Louis. In fact some of the gentlemen
representing Chicago were told after the
fiist ballot, in which Chicago only got
eight votes, had been taken, that Chicago
could have the convention if the price.
$100,000, was put up. The Chicago
committee after a consultation refused
to pay that much, and after three more
ballots the convention was given to St.
Louis simply because it had paid more
for it than any other city would pay.
The settling of June ICth as the date for
the Republican convention will make the
Democratic convention unusually early,
if the usual custom of the party in power
holding its convention first be followed.
The Democratic 6teenng committee,
consisting of Senators Gorman. Cockrell,
Harris, Blackburn, Brice, Walthall,
Murphy, White, and Jones, of Ark., at
a meeting held to discuss senate reor
ganization, decided that no obstructions
should be placed in the way of the Re
publicans reorganizing the senate as soon
as they can produce the votes, but that
no move should be made by Democrats
to voluntarily surrender what they now
have. Reorganization will be easy for
the Republicans if they can agree upon
a slate for president pro tern, and Chair
men of committees that will command
the full Republican votes, as the popu
lists have agreed to absent themselves
when the vote is taken. For all practi
cal purposes this will be just the same
as their voting with the Republicans,
and it will probably be just as beneficial
to the populists, and still they can go
home and pull the wool over the eyes of
their Congressional Record show that
they did not vote to help the Republi
cans reorganize the senate.
The man who is willing to make a
monkey of himself can always start a
sensation in Congress that will bring a
temporary notoriety. The first to do so
this session was representative Barrett,
of Boston, who offered a resolution im
peaching Ambassador Bayard because he
had dared to exercise the right of free
speech and to criticise the doctrine of
protection. Of course Barrett knows as
well as everybody else does that his res
olution was a new congressman's bid
for notoriety pure and simple, and it
will never be reported back to the house
by the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
to which it was referred. In the short
debate which preceded the reference of
the resolution, Ex-speaker Crisp showed
himself to be in good fighting trim.
His taunting the Republicans with be
ing afraid to put a protective tariff bill
through the house, notwithstanding their
immense majority was a hit, and no Re
publican dared to reply to it; it was so
true it couldn't be replied to. The reso
lution is buncombe. Mr. Bayard has
done nothing but what he had a perfect
right to do, if he saw fit. M.
Ossified Slan's Body Molen.
Wichita, Kan., December 15. A
message received here from Douglas
states that the body of Pratt, said to be
the most completely ossified man in the
world, and who died recently, has been
stoleu from its grave. Some time be-
iore i rati uiea ne was taken before a
medical society in New York, where his
case was pronounced wonderful. He
lived nine years as rigid as the dead, be
ing kept alive by thin soup fed through
the set teeth.
The society offered him a pension of
$1,000 a year while he lived, and his
widow f.OOO at his death, if he would
consent to give his body to the society
after death, which was refused. The
offer so alarmed the family that when
Mr. Pratt died the body was buried un
der a flower bed in front of his father's
chamber window as a precaution agaiust
thieves. The message says the father
was called as a juror to the county seat
the other day, and ip his absence the
grave was robbed.
f be Child Wasn't Dead.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., December 17. A
startling circumstance occurred in the
family of John Kelly, at Larksville, on
Monday. Their 3-year-old son was so
ill that all hope was abandoned and the
child apparently Btopped breathing and
was pronounced dead. The body was
washed and dressed and laid out to pre
pare it for burial. Yesterday when the
nurse entered the room to look at the
corpse sue was startled to see it
move. It was attended to at once and
rapidly regained consciousness and to
day is in a fair way to recovery. It is
supposed that the warm bath given re
vived it. The parents are overjoyed that
the symptoms of life manifested them
selves in time.
Os Friday morning a car load of caU
tie consisting ot 23 head that had been
shipped to Shippensburg were found
frozen to death in the open car in which
they had been shipped. The cold
weather of Thursday night, it is thought
caused their death.

Liverpool, December 15. While p '
proaching the landing stage nere mis
evening the British steamer Indiana,
Captain Boggs, from Philadelphia, colli
ded with the fruit laden steamer Za mora,
which was lying at anchor.
A large hole was made in the port
side of the Indiaua abaft her bulkhead
Her passengers were quickly landed, and
she was then towed" to the Cheshire side
of the river, where she was beached to
prevent her sinkiug.
She sank two or three feet in the half
an hour that was occupied by the pas
sengers m landing. There was no pan
ic among the passengers.
An attempt was made to plug the hole
in her 6ide, but it failed. The 6teamer
was hastily towed across the river, as she
gave every evidence of foundering. In
fact, it was thought that she would sink
in midstream, and the eneineS of the
tug were worked to their fullest capacity
to prevent such a disaster.
The stern if the Zarnora was smashed
in, and her fore compartment rilled with
water. Her collision bulkheads were
closed, however, and she was never in
any danger of sinking.
Husband Dead ftifa Badly Wounded.
Philadelphia, December 13 Two
little girls of the ages o' 4 and 6 years
were the sole witnesses of a tragedy in
the parlor of No. 1227 South Third
street to day. They saw the mother of
one of them shot in the abdomen by a
jealous father, and, after the wounded
mother, true to her maternal instinct,
had hurried the little ones into the
street, they heard the sho: which ended
the existence of the miserable man.
M ix and Bertha Goodwich, who had
been married six years, parted and the
woman with her 4-year-old daughter
went to live with Mrs. Murdock, whose
C year old daughter was the playmate of
the Goodwich child. The husband had
made frequent visits to the house to try
to get his wife to again live with him,
as he was compelled to pay her a weekly
alimony. She steadily refused and tos
day their quarrelings culminated in the
tragedy in the presence of the two child
ren. At the hospital this evening it was
stated that Mrs. Goodwich might recov
er, though her life is clinging to a slend
er thread. Goodwich shot himself
through the brain and died almost in

Boys Bitten by Mad Dogs.
Charles L. and Howard Geary, aged
fourteen and seven years, respectively,
sons of Charles Geary, master of the
hounds of the South Media Fox Hunting
Club, were the victims Saturday night of
the most shocking catastrophe, as a re
sult of which both lads are being treated
for hydrophobia at Media, Pa. They
went into a kennel where seven mad fox
hounds wereconfined, to feed them, and
both wore severely bitten Charles on
the arm and Howard on the cheek.
One of the dogs died of rabies later in
the night, and when the others were
killed yesterday a post mortem showed
that beyond the least doubt, they had
hydrophobia. It is hoped that prompt
treatment will prevent any serious re
sults to the boys.
