... The Policy . of Patriotism.
The recent speech of Senator Davis
In support of his : resolution giving
specific legislative affirmation to the
Monroe doctrine Is a statement of
American policy which should be read
by every American citizen. The points
made in It are, tlrst, hat the doctrine
of James Monroe hns.Jmd the approval
of every great American statesman
from the time of Jefferson down, with
the single exceptk .1 of Calhoun; sec
ond, that while, it has been expressed in
presidential messages and In the in
structions! of American secretaries of
state to American ministers, It lias
never yet been aftirmed, in words, by
the American congress; nnd third, that
the lack of such direct legislative ntllr
mation has been repeatedly seized up
on by foreign diplomatists as a pretext
for affecting: to doubt the present val
idity und efficiency of the doctrine of
Monroe. The question nov is "whether
ongress, to whom in the very vesti
bule of the constitution, all legislative
power Is given, which has the power
to declare war, and the authority to
preserve peace by its power to provide
for the raislngof armies and navles.rep
resentlng directly the will and senti
ments of the people, will or ought, In
the exercise of these powers thus con
llded to and duties imposed upon it,
declure that the Monroe doctrine Is 11
vita). Indispensable and continuous pol
icy of the United States."
The proposition submitted by the sen
ator from Minnesota is in brief that
under no pretext, und by no means,
whether of boundary dispute, or by
war, or cession, or, pledge; or coloniza
tion, or occupation, or any other un
founded ' jiiuve, . shall any Kuropean
power acquire uny territory upon either
of these continents, or Impose upon the
governments thereof its system, or con
trol its deqUnles, in any case where the
I'nlted States shall deem such an at
tempt to be dangerous to its peace or
safety. That the seizure by Kngland
of the. 70,000 square miles of territory
surrounding the. mouth of the Orinoco
river would jeopurd tho peace and safe
ty of the United States is a proposition
self-evident to any man who will study
a map df South America. I'pon this
point Senator Davis says:
The Orinoco Is one of the most remarka
ble liver systems fn 'tlio world. It is navi
gable for the largest vessels of wur for
WO miles from h mouth. Vrom Its souroe
it runs to tha north and thence turning
runs 'to the eat until it empties Into the
Atlantic. Its upper waters connect with
the navigable waters of .the Ama
zon, anil everyone knows how vast are the
relations of .that stream and Its tributa
ries to the Interior of floiHh America. The
mouth of the Ortyioco river Is the key to
a great lntemirl commerce, destined in the
future to become more vast than the
Imagination even run attempt to foresee.
The hand of Grout Britain is upon .that
key. She has flanked and taken in re
verse, In a. military sense, ;the commercial
advantages of one-third of the South
American continent. The mouth of the
Orinoco is -about .si days' nail by a fast
cteamship from the city of New York. It
Is about three days' sail from the entrance
of the Nicaragua Canal. Its possession
by Great Britain, In connection with her
West India Islands, makes the Caribbean
Sea. an Knglish lake and the possessor
dominates nil those waters. With a naval
motion at Its mouth It hns a commanding
position an to all contingencies of peace
or war, which can be apprehended by this
government. This Is not pleasant to con
template. It concerns our peace nnd safe
ty and demands mi assertion of the principles-of
the Monroe doctrine. -
The final nnd strongest point made
by Senator Davis Is that an explicit
statement of this doctrine In Its fullest
sense Is needed from congress because
President Cleveland, in his message
concerning- the matter, stated only
half of the Monroe doctrine and sup
pressed one of Its most' vital parts. Mr.
Cleveland assured the marquis of
Salisbury that while the United States
would resent the use of force by Great
Britain In maintaining Its South Ameri
can territorial claims, yet "any adjust
ment of the boundary which Venezuela
may deem for her advantage and may
enter Into of her own free will, cannot
i)t course be objected tot by the United
States." This admission Mr. Davis
points out, is equivalent to a virtual
nullification of the Monroe doctrine in
nil that relates to foreign negotiation
for American territory without the ac
tual employment- of armed- force. It
.would open, the door to endless trouble,
making It possible for Instance, for
Spain to sell Cuba to England, against
which Henry Clay protested In 1825,
Albert Gallatin In ,1826, and 'Daniel
Webster In the emphatic letter which
he wrote to Mr. Campbell, the American
minister to Madrid, la IMS; and laying
juKllONl r? ILABELJ
the foundation for continual Kuropean
Intrigue with Central and South Ameri
can stntcs. to the utter destruction of
American pence nnd safety. Therefore,
the senator utlds, it Is doubly necessary
tor consresh to ttato th! Monroo doc
trine as It Is, to the tnd that from this
time ' forward there shall bo In that
doctrine's interpretation by American
diplomatists no element of uncertainty
and no embarrassing qualillcatlons or
reservations.
"There never was" In Senator Davis'
opinion, "a time more propitious, more
exacting than the present time for such
a declaration. In time of dunger It Is
necessary, and It Is the surest path to
peace and good feeling to state tlrmly
our position. Under the ameliorated
conditions which this controversy
seems to bear. It becomes more and
more expedient ami necessary for us
to declare exactly our convictions and
the policy of the American people up
on this subject. Such a declaration Is
worthy of the dignity of this people.
Abject to the degradation of subjection
Is any nation that takes counsel of its
fears and dares not declare its princi
ples. Such cowardice makes the cause
of constitutional liberty a tolerated
alien In Its own heritage."
It is said Chairman Horn's Hie al
ready contains 400 Democratic applica
tions for positions on the police force,
and the Bailey regime Is young yet.
Looking Forward.
Now that sufficient time has elapsed
for a truthful observation by Republi
cans of the results of Tuesday's Dem
ocratic victory In this city, it is perti
nent to consider the party's future.
Wo will do those Republicans who
elected Mr. Rnlley the Justice to be
lieve that the mass of them acted from
what they conceived to be proper and
prudent motives. We will do them the
justice to believe that they were so far
deceived by personal considerations as
to become, for the moment, blind to the
larger and more important Interests of
the Republican party, which they have
made to suffer. We cannot extend this
belief so far as to include the active
leaders in the Republican revolt, for
those leaders were men who acted de
liberately, and from calculated malice.
Mr. Scranton, Mr. Fellows, Mr. Davies
and their immediate lieutenants had
been in politics long enough and had
enjoyed party favor sufficiently enough
to know that for every blow they could
possibly intlict on Mr. Connell, at whom
they aimed, they would Inflict a dozen
blows on the Republican party us nil
Impersonal organization. Though Mr.
Connell should retire from politics
forthwith which, by the way, he has
no Intention of doing that retirement
would not restore the Republican party
to power in this city. It would not
simplify in the least the difficulties
placed by Tuesday's election in the way
of the Republican party's future in
Lackawanna county.
Prior to lust Tuesday, the Republican
record In this county hud been one of
steadily Increasing popular pluralities.
Never hud the party been In better
condition to face with confidence the
buttles of the future. The tic-called
element of "Connelllsm" had not proved
offensive to Mr. Fellows when he ran
for mayor. It h ad not proved of
fensive to Mr. Scranton when he sought
his present seat In the congress at
Washington. It had not proved
offensive to Mr. Davies when
he desired the nomination for
county treasurer two years ago.
Upon none of these occasions had
there been any charge against the Jus
tice or the Integrity of Mr. Connell's
leadership, and never did any accusa
tion arise until these gentlemen, hav
ing failed individually and collectively
to force Mr. Connell Into re-establishing
the offensive leadership of a dozen
years ago, set out. In an alliance with
the Democracy, to poison the public
mind and Inflame a percentage of the
Republican vote in Scranton Into sup
porting the Democratic ticket.
The leaders in this movement, having
shown that personal vlndlctlveness is
a stronger consideration "with them
than party loyalty, cannot expect to
regain the confidence of the Republi
can party. We do not see how the
party can ever entrust Its destinies to
their disloyal hands. They have chos
en to make their bed with the Dem- I
ocracy, and upon It they will have to
He. Whether the Democracy will want
them as permanent recruits Is a ques
tion not for us to decide. The one clear
fact from a Republican standpoint Is
that Lackawanna Republicanism. If it
would recover from the stiletto thrust
given It on Tuesday by Its false friends
and betrayers, must proceed to reor
ganize with the malicious instruments
of that back-stabbing discarded and
discountenanced. There can be no
safely In the company of assassins.
The camp which Is'infested with false
counselors and deceitful leaders is a
camp sure, sooner or later, to fall into
the enemy's hands. c
, We accept the verdict of Tuesday as
a verdict 'against "Connelllsm;" as a
verdict against the letting of city con
tracts to home firms that give em
ployment to home labor and help to di
versify home industry; as a verdict
against the use of the police force In
any save Democratic politics; as a re
buke to tho activities of honorable
business men working without personal
reward and at personal expense of
money and time for the nomination of
clean candidates for office In freedom
from blackmailing bosses and offen
sive dictatorship. The election of Tues
day doubtless has ended these things.
H has made the mayor's nfllce.the cun
clls and tlje school hoard t mcciiitk-. It
has given the police force and the pit id
firemen to tho opponents of RepuWi
ranlsm, and has cut off from Mr. Cn
nell's grasp all those avenues of activ
ity which it is ulletrud ho has used
again!-1 'the iniMla welfare. That le-lug-
true, what la to follow? What arc
the Republicans of Scranton golns to
do about It?
Is It not time to think a little about
the party's Interests and about Its fu
ture? 1

Washington's Birthday.
Arriving at a season of the year when
the elements are apt to place a chill
upon enthusiasm generally, Washing
ton's birthday is seldom greeted with
outward tokens of appreciation that
usually herald the coming of the red
letter day with which it should always
be associated, viz: July Fourth. The
signers of the declaration of indepen
dence promulgated the plans for a grov-
ernment by the ueonle and It remained
for George Washington and his Immor
tal band of heroes to curry out the
scheme of the patriots who first listened
to the clang of liberty bell. In loading
the little army of patriots to victory in
the stormy days pf the revolution.
George Washington made for hlniHi-lf
u name that shines out brilliantly from
among those if the famous lenders in
the world's history like a brilliant plan
et In tho milky way. Ills triumphs
were not in the interest of conquest.
The victories of the hero of "70 marked
the birth of liberty and the establish-
ment of a government which has been
the guiding star of patriots the world
over who labor in the Interests of the
oppressed and downtrodden. The ex
ample of the brave men who fought
and bled for freedom has stimulated
patriotism everywhere and the form of
government by the people which was
then an experiment Is recognized by the
nations of the earth Is the only form
which binds the people together as one
great family. Other nations may boast
of standing armies, of battle arma
ments and resources that are unfound
ed, but in the United States there Is a
sentiment that makes! this nation the
most powerful upon the globe in ttplte
of all. It is the sense of Independence
ami the knowledge thut all have an In
terest In the welfare of the land. It
Is the knowledge that In resisting: en
croachments from a foreign power it
would be a battle for home and lireslde.
With each recurring birthday of the
patriot who first saw the light of lny
one hundred and sixty-four years ago
our altars should be re-lighted with the
flames of patriotism and though our
exuberance may not be marked by the
booming of cannon and the whiz of the
rocket, let patriotism be ever In evi
dence and the memory of the heroes of
'76 ever green, that the nation may be,
worthy of the heritage that was
bought with blood.
Rl-STKItr IMMIGRATION.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the senate
committee on inimlKrutlou, In an inter
view, declares In favor of an educational
test for aliens who seek admission to the
I'nlted States. He has prepared u. bill
which excludes all persons between 14 und
'W years of age who cannot read and write
the Knglish languaue or some other lan
gnaKe. Asked how he would put such u
test into operation, the senator imld: 'Ve
would not have to worry ubout that. The
government would require the steamship
comiianles to take ba-k free of charge
every person unable to comply with the
law. 'ou would find that the companies
themselves would test the Imnilfrrants be
fore they sold them transportation. The
government would not be put to much ex
pense In the matter. When It became
generally known abroad that such a. regu
lation was being strictly enforced the for
elgners desiring to immigrate to this
country would prepare themselves."
Senator lodge presented statistics
showing thut in 1SS0 the foreign-born ele
ment constituted one-seventh of this
country's population und one-third of Its
paupers. This was shown by the census
returns of that year. The census of JsDn
showed that people of foreign birth made
up :lo per cent, or the total white popula
tion. This one-third of the population
furnished one-half of the crlmliiHls, two
thlrds of the Inmates of reformatories and
two-thirds of the paupers in almhouses.
Later statistics iihow that In evry 1h
foreigners over 1(1 years of age who came
to the I'nlted Slates between .March and
November, 1892, 'the Illiterates were divid
ed as follows: Italy, Wl Poland, if: Hun
gary, 2H; Russia, .proper, 2H; Knclund, 10;
Ireland, 8; Wales, ; ttermany, 2; Scandi
navian countries anl Denmark, less than

this country In the year ended June 3D.
WX1, 5T.8P7 over Pi years of age roul.l not
read, iis. 582 could not write, and til.iJ.lS i-o ild
do neither. Senator Lodge pointed to
these figures to show that If an education
al test had been applied during that year,
the large number of the least desirable
foreigners would have been excluded from
the country.
Going back rapidly over the history of
immigration, Senator Lodge said that
before no record was kept, but that
probably 2.M1.UUO immigrants came to the
I'nlted States between tne cioe or toe
revolution and that time, l-'ruin 1S20 to
16ml, Inclusive, the number of Immigrants
leached in.4!i7,il. The majority of lliese
icatne from ureal uritaui. ireianu, ne:--
many and the Scandinavian countries.
The quality of immigrants was high un
til the last few years. In the fiscal year
ended June :tn, IsWl, 4.u.:UrJ immigrants
came to the rnlted Stales; In the next
fiscal year. Mrt.aiS; in the next. "i7H.W3, and
In the" fiscal year ended in the num
ber was 110.713. There was a ibcrc-nse
in the hitler year because quarantine
regulations during the winter of lxitli-l'l
practically stopped Immigration. The ma
jority of the undesirable immigrants were
divided for the four years lu nationalities
as follows:
18!0. 1MH. 1S92. 1A

Slates In 1S! and 1M had a marked elTe -t
on immigration. -Many .foreigners h- c
were unable to send money home to pay
Die passage of their relatives. HcbI I-s
the news got abroad that there wat mi

manv back. During the year ended June

The law now In "force which Senator
Lodge seeks to amend was approved

likely to become e public charge, per
sons a filleted with loathsome or conta

Senator Lodge, In i-la.-ln? the Interview,
referred to on arili-le li- tun written for

the fact that In Philadelphia the Quay
