THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, ' MONDAY, PEBRITABY J25,- '1889.'
IQMOE'S DOCTME
Eeaffirmed in a Report on Edmnnds'
Panama Canal Resolution.
AN AMERICAN POLICY ANNOUNCED.
The Western Hemisphere to be a Constella
tion of Republics
WITHOUT AST. FOKEIGN IXTEEFEBEXCE
lie
Adaption f Uit Eesolutfoa Strongly Eecora-mended.
The majority report on Senator Edmunds'
Manama canal resolution is clear-cut and
crisp. It reasserts the Monroe doctrine. It
declares that America is for the Americans,
and no European interference will be tolerated.
"Washington, February 2i Repre
sentative JlcCreary, of Kentucky, in behalf
of the majority members of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, has prepared a report
recommending the adoption of the Edmunds
Panama Canal resolution.
The report says the resolution comes to the
House after being carefully considered and
almost unanimously adopted by the Senate.
It reaffirms a public policy that is of both
national and international importance; a
public policy that has been so intimately
interwoven with the treaties and teachings,
doctrines and necessities of the American
people that it seems to hare originated in
the very earliest days of our Republic, and
continues:
t "When Great Britain formally acknowledged
the sovereignty and Independence of the
"United States In 1782 there was no stronger con
victions in the minds of the American people
than that additional European colonization on
the American continents, or tne extension of
European political svstems to the Western
Hemisphere, or of European interposition for
the purpose of oppressing or controling the
destinies of American republics, would be im
politic and detrimental to freedom and to the
best interests of our country.
THE SIONEOE DOCIEINE.
The first official expression of these convic
tions was made by President Monroe in the
message sent to Congress in 1S23, embodying
what has become known as the Monroe doc
trine. The joint resolution under considera
tion is in accordance with the declarations
made by Mr. Monroe, applied to existing
conditions and the development of
events. The announcement of the Mon
roe doctrine has embalmed Presi
dent Monroe's memory in the hearts of
liberty-loving people everywhere. Its results
have been grand and far-reaching. It secured
and has preserved the independence of the
Central and South American Republics. It was
successfully invoked when Cnba was in peril;
in enabled the United States to thwart the at
tempt of Great Britain to exercise dominion in
Nicaragua under the pretense of bene
fitting the Mosquito Indians; it pre
vented the establishment of a Europ
ean dynasty in America with Jlarimil
llan as Emperor, and it has enabled
our Government to gradually eliminate from
the Western hemisphere the domination of
France and Spain and Russia, whose pos
sessions at one time almost surrounded our
Republic; and with the power of destiny and
the genius and energy and pluck of the Ameri
can people. Great Britain may soon be amica
bly eradicated from her Canadian possessions,
and the three Americas become a constellation
of republics filled with happy, prosperous, free
and independent people.
A FIRM STAND.
Continuing, the report says that the Mon
roe doctrine contains no limitations and
was not confined to conditions existing at
the time it was announced. Quotations are
made from the declarations of some of our
Presidents and many of our leading states
men to show that they have taken even a
stronger position than that maintained by
the resolution under consideration, and
that they objected not only to European
colonization or the extension of European
political systems on the American conti
nent, but to any project which would give a
European Government a new foothold in
America. It then says:
The joint resolution under consideration sim
ply declares that the Government of the United
States will look with serious concern and disap
proval upon any connection of any European
Government with the construction or control of
cither the Panama canal or the Nicaragua ca
nal, and will regard such connection or con
trol as injurious to the rights and interests of
the United States, and a menace to their wel
fare, and asks if any one can deny the truth of
these propositions. History shows that where-
cver Uovernments put their money tney soon
follow jvith their power, and that the aim ot
the great nations of Europe has been to take
possession of the salient points and narrow
straits of the world for the control of com
merce and for aid in time of war.
ere:
mate result would be European domination in
ranama or .Nicaragua, ana perhaps an exten
sion of the domination to other Republics. If
this is allowed, we abandon the principle" to
which we have clung for nearly 70 years, and
we surrender the sacred principles which our
fathers and our forefathers maintained so suc
cessfully and so patriotically.
The present is an opportune and important
time to announce an American policy with re
gard to the Panama canal. De liesseps has
failed in his scheme, work has stopped, and
the Government of France has been asked to
construct or control in some way the construc
tion of the canal. Its control by an European
Government cannot but be regarded as injuri
ous to the rights and interests of the United
states ana as a menace to oar weiiare.
THE THBEE AMERICAS.
Moreover, oar treaty obligations and the far
reaching and binding guarantees made by the
United States, with the republics through
which the proposed inter-oceanic canals are to
be constructed, makes it of paramount import
ance to the people of the United States that
any attempt on the part of European govern
ments to engage in the construction or control
of these canals should be watched with the
greatest vigilance and looked upon with seri
ous concern and disapproval.
In conclusion the report says:
The time has come for our Government to
define its position and take a stand in behalf of
our sister Republics of the Western hemis
phere. The day of the isolation of the three
Americas has passed and the day of fraternity
and friendship, improved commerce and en
larged national freedom has come. Each year
brings the United States and the Republics
south of us in closer communication, and the
day is not far distant when the three Americas
will be connected by railroads and bound
tocretber in common hopes and common ties.
Whether there shall be one railroad or two
railroads, one canal or two canals, all will be
instrumental in securing to the American Re
public additional wealth and additional great
ness. All will aid in strengthening the friend
ship and riveting the ties which should connect
the great nations of the Western Hemisphere.
The adoption of the resolution will help to
preserve the autonomy and advance .the best
interests of our sister republics south of us.
The needs of our people, the dignity of our
Government, and tha maintenance of our su
premacy on the Western Hemisphere demand
it. And. finally, it is in the direction of that
destiny, which, when fulfilled, will make the
"Western Hemisphere a constellation of repub
lics, differing only from one another in glory.

operating in Northwestern Ohio for the
past two years was captured at Delphos,
this county, yesterday, after a most ex

through the window, carrying sash and

give his name.
An elegant team of horses was found in
his possession when the telegram came
from Bucyrus to arrest him. He was

THE BILLS IN FAIB SHAPE.
A CONFLICT OF IKTEEESTS.
. In the light of past events, can we doubt
what woula be the result if England or France,
or cither of the great powers of Europe, should
construct, or by Indorsing bonds, control tuch
an important transit as a ship canal across the
Issmus of Darien, or a ship canal across Cen
tral America? It any European Government
should construct, or assist in the construction,
of a great public improvement in another
country, the assertion of that power by the
Government can be followed by tho
right of defending that improvement. Colum
bia and Nicaragua are both weak Republics,
and they would soon be forced to yield, either
by treaty arrangements or concessions, to tbe
governmental authority promoting tbe enter
prise. A conflict of interests with eitherwould
certainly occur, and the weak power would

"My system had become so noisoned with ca

tough tenacious mucous in my throat would
choke me terribly. My throat was so inflamed
that I could not swallow without great pain.
The disease also affected my head, so that
pieces of bone came from my nose, and It even
ate holes through the roof of my mouth. 1 had
ringing sounds and much pain In my ears, diz

Another cold spell set in, and now, every man who Owns an Over

with the idea that the winter js over, is only too glad to wear it
These cold spells, which may be looked for every now and then
during the latter part of February and the stormy month of March,
will afford us our last chance to get rid of the balance of our Over
