Mil. CAM SiiON DOKS WELL.
Senator Cameron . has announced
formally and definitely that he will
not lie a candidate for re-election.
His withdrawal is complete and ab
solute and is lobe so aoc-ptiHlhy the
jieople. The Republicans of this
State will cheerfully take this view
and will with one accord dt-claie it
was the proper thing for Senator
Cameron to do. He had ceased to
reflect their views on important is-1
sacs, especially on the silver ques
tion, anrl he had failed to met ex
pectation at so many vital periods
that the Republicans of this grout
State hail long since come to regard
his occupancy of the Senatoi-ial seat
as any thing hut desirable.
Senator Cameron has been an en
igma to many. His record has lxvn
utterly at variance with tluit which
would bo dictated 1 y cither purely
personal politics or b.y public Vx
cgoncies. He had not represented
his State nor his party. Hut he has
held on to his Heat with a tenacity
tluit oven a threatened party revol
ution in his State could not shake off.
And now at a time when it was
least expected that ho would take
such a step, when it was firmly be
livi'd that ho would attempt to se
cure another election, ho suddenly
announces his purpose to retire.
It is a welcome clmngo that the
public contemplates in the realiza
tion of his declaration. Freo Press.

A special Jesuit 'h from Wash
ington to the Philadelphia Ledger
says it is expected that the next
President will be a Republican. It
so, it is highly probably Senato
Quay will be invited to and will ac
cept a place in the Cabinet, thus
lea ving his scat in the Senate to 1h
filled by a man from the western sec
tion of the State.
This hardly agrees with the state
ment in other papers that Camcroi
will be offered a seat in the ncxi
Cabinet, provided the President is ii
Republican nnd Senator Quay is in
favor with the administration, as hi
doubtless would lie ; but it is far
more ae.','pt:i')l news for the Re
publicans of this Slate to peruse.
Senator Quay in the Cabinet would
please the great majority of penph
in this State just as much in propor
tion as Senator Cameron in the Cab
inet would displease them. Quay
has shown himself a Republican. ami
his services in the campaign of Inns,
anil subsequently, nnd his work in
behalf of the manufacturers in this
State in the last Congtvs-t wherc-by
changes were forced in the Demo
cratic tariff bill are not likely to be
forgotten.
Nor will the people forget that
.-Ynator Cameron is not a Republi
can. His vote in the Senate confirms
them in his belief. Free Press.

siipfretiiiK renfons wliy nueh iltsputo
fitiould hesuliinltled tn nrltitnitinn for set
tlement nnd Inquiring whether It would
bp so submitted.
The answer of tho TtrltlFli government,
whb-h was thpn nwnited, lin slne been
received nnd together Willi tho di'iiatelt
to which It Is it reply is hereto appended.
Pueh reply Is embodied In two cnmiiiu.
nleations addressed by tlm UritlKh prime
minister to r-'lr .Inlian rauncetote, tlio
if'-itish embassndor at this capital. It
will be seen thatono of these eommunlea
tlons is devoted exelusively to chservn
tlons upon the Monroe doctrine, nnd
claims tlm In tho present Instance n new
and strange extension nnd development of
this doctrine nro infilsted on by tho Ignited
Htntes; that tho reasons jii"tlfyinjr an ap
peal to the doetrino enunelnted by l'rcsi
dent Monroe are generally Inapplicable
"to tho slate of things In which wo llvo
nt tlio present day." nnd especially Inap
plicable to n controversy Involving tho
boundary lino between Oireat Britain nnd
Venezuela.
Without nttemptlna extended arRiiment
In reply to those positions, it may not be
amiss to suppest that tho doetrino upon
which we stnnd Is strong nnd sound bo
onuso Its enforcement Is Important to our
penoo nnd safety as n nation and Is essen
tial to the inteprlty of our free Institution!
and tho trnniiull mnlntenanco of our dis
tinctive form of government.
Tho Monroe llnclrine Applies.
It wns intended to nppiy to ovory stage
of our national life and cannot become
obsolete while our repulillo endures. If
the balance of powor 19 justly a causo for
jealous anxiety nmong the governments
of the old world nnd a subject for our nli
solute noninterference, none tlio less Is an
obsorvaneo of the Monroe doetrino of vital
concern to our people nnd their govern
ment. Assuming, therefore, that wo may
proporiy Insist upon this doctrine without
regard to "the state of things In which
wo live," or nny changed conditions here
or elsewhere, it is not apparent why its
Application may not ho Invoked In the
presont controversy.
If a Kuropenn power, hynn extension of
Its boundaries, takes possession of tho ter
ritory of one of our neighboring republics
against Its will nnd In derogation of Its
rights, It Is dllllcult to see why, to that
extent such Kuropenn powor does not
thereby nltompt to extend its systom of
government to that portion of this conti
nent which Is thus taken. This Is the
proeiso action which President Monroe
deelnred to be "dangerous to our ponoe
nnd safety," nnd it can make no difference
whether the Kuropenn system is extended
by nn advance of frontier or otherwise.
It Ih also suggested in the British reply
thnt we should not seek to apply the Mon
roe doctrine to ttie pending dispute ho
cause it doos not embody nny principle of
International lnw which "is founded on
the general consent of nations," and that
"no statesman, however eminent, and no
nation, however powerful, nre competent
to iusort into the code of International
law a novel principlo whioh wns never
rccoguied before, nnd which hns not since
been accepted by the government of any
other country.
Practically the principle for which we
oontond has peculiar if not exclusive roln
tlon to tho I lilted States.
Our I'lntn Rights and Claims.
It nny not have been admitted In so
ninny words to tho code of international
lnw, but since In international counsel!
trery nntlon is entitled to rights belong
ing to It, if tho enforcement of tlm Monroe
doetrino Is something we may justly claim,
It has Its place In the code of International
law as certainly and as securely ns If it
were specifically mentioned, nnd when tho
t'nlted Statos is a suitor before the high
tribunal thnt administers International
lnw the question to be determined Is
whether or not wo present claims which
tho justice of that code of lnw can find to
be right nnd valid.
The Monroe doetrino finds Its recogni
tion in those principles of International
law which are based upon the theory that
every nation shall have its rights protected
and Its just claims enforced.
Of coarse this government Is entirely
confident thnt under tho sanction of this
doctrine wo hnvo oiunr rights nnd Un
doubted claims. Nor is tills ignored In
tho lirltlsh reply. Tho prime luinistur,
while not admitting that the Monroe doo
trine la applicable to tho presont condi
tions, stutes, "In declaring that the Unit
ed State! would rosl.st any such enterprise
If It was oontemplatod, President Monroe
adopted a pollny which received the entire
ympathyof the English government of
that dato.'e-
Be forthor deelnres, "Though the Inn
gunge of President Monroe is directed to
the attainment of objects which most
(englishmen would agreo to he salutary, It
Is Impossible to admit thnt they have boon
Inscribed by nny adoquuteauthorlty in the
code of timr national law." Again he
says, "They ther majesty! government)
fully concur with tho view which Presi
dent Monroe apparently entertained that
any disturbance of tho existing territorial
distribution in that hemisphere by any
fresh acquisitions on the part of any Ku
ropean slate would be a highly inexpedi
ent change. "
lovolvet Oar Safety e.n.4 Wolfer.
In tho belief that the doolrlue forwhieh
re contend was clear and detlnlto; that It
wai founded upon substantial considera
tions and Involved our safety and welfare;
that it wai fully appllcublo to our presont
condition! and to tho state of the world's
progress,. and that it was directly rolated
to the periling controversy and without
nny conviction as to the final merits of
the dispute, but anxious to learn In a sat
isfactory and conclusive, manner whether
lireat Jlritalu sought under a clnlm of
boundary to extend her possessions on
tills cuiiilr.unt without right or whether
she merely sought possession of territory
fairly included within her Hues of owner
ship, this government proposed to the
government of (ireat liritain a resort to
arbitration as the proper means of set
tling tho question, to the end that a vexa
tious boundary dispute between the two
contestants might bo determined and oar
exact standing and relation In respect to
the controversy might he made clear.
It will he seen from tho correspondence
herewith submitted that this proposition
has been declined by the lirltlsh govern
ment upon grounds which In the oircuiu
staniei seem to me to be far from satis
factory. It is deeply disappointing th.it
such an appeal, acluaied by the most
frltndly feelings toward bulb, nutiona di
rectly concerned, addressed to tho seuae of
Justice, and to the magnanimity of one
it 'lit great towers of the wurld, and
touching Its relations to one comparatively
wpak and small, should hnvo produced no
better results.
Tho course to be pursued by tills goy-
ernnipnt In yiew of the present condition
does not appear to admit. of s.tIous doubt.
Having labored fnlthfully for many years
to Induce Hrent Ilrltnin tn submit this dis
pute to Impartial arbitration nnd having
betn now finally apprised of her refusal to
do so, nothing remains but to accept tho
sltuntlon, to recognize Its plain require
ments, and deal with It accordingly, (iroat
Ilrltnin'! present proposition has novor
thus far boon regnrded as admissible by
Venezuela, though any adjustment of the
boundary which thnt country may deem
for her advantage and mny outer Into of
hor own free will ennnot, of rourso, be ob
jected to 1y the I'nltod States.
Resist Willi Force llrltnln's Aggression.
Assuming1, however, thnt the attltndo
of Venezuela will remain unchnngod, the
dispute has reached such a stngn ns to
mnl.e it now Incumbent upon the I'nltod
Plates to fate measure! to dcterminewlth
!ii11iciont certainty for its justification
what is the true divisional lino between
tho republic of Venezuela nnd llritish
Gnlnna. Tho inquiry to thnt, end should
of cotirso be cono'ueted ca.. ally and ju
dicially nnd due weight should he glvin
to all available evidence, records nnd facts
In support of tho claims of both pnrtles.
In order that such an examination
should bo prosecuted In a thorouyli and
satisfactory mannor, I suggest t lint tho
congress make an adequate appropriation
for the oxtHinscs of a commission, to be
appointed by tho executive, which shall
make tho necessary investigation and ro
port upon the mutter with tho lenst possi
ble di lay. When such report Is made anl
accepted, It will, In my opinion, bo the
duty of the I'nilcd States to resist by ev
ery means In Its power as n willful nggre!
lion upon Its rights nnd interests tho np
propriation by t-jreat liritain of nny binds
or the exerciso of governmentnl jurisdic
tion over nny territory which nflor Inves
tigation wo hnvo determined of right bo
ilings to Venozuela.
In making thoso recommendations I
am fully nllvo to tho full responsibility
Incurred nnd keenly renlize all tho con
sequenoes thnt may follow.
I nm nevorthelpss firm in my conviction
that whllo It Is n grievous thing to eon
template the two great Knglish speaking
peoples of tho world ns being otherwise
than friendly competitors In the onward
march of civilisation nnd strenuous and
worthy rivals in all tho arts of peace,
thoro Is no calnmit.y which a great nation
can invito which equnls that which fol
lows a supine submission to wrong nnd
Injustfco and tho consequent loss of na
tional self respect, nnd honor, henenth
which nre shielded and defonded a people's
safety and greatness.

of tho phvslcal foroes incident to his ad-
vnncod years. Since hi! retirement from
netlve life he hnd penoefully passed the
ebbing F.nys of his old ngo In the elegnnt
but quiet home of hi! son, Allen W. Thnr-
mnn, whoro his children and grnnttohl).
dren eheored him withtholr company and
wntehed over hi! feoblo footstep! with

thoro thnt won a nntlon's admiration at

Fcnr Score Years of Activity.
Allen G. Thurman'! four score year! of
life covered almost the entire progress of
tho tuition from childhood to complete
maturity. In hi! Virginia boyhood the
Alleplinniea were tho western limit! of
anything thnt oonld be nailed an advanced
clvlllzitlon, but Columbus, ()., the home
of his laltor years, Is far east of the cen
ter of population.
When he emigrated to Ohio, It wai on
tho border of the far weet. When he en
tered the ITulted Stntci senate, he was no
counted rather ns a representative of the
east. His first political lessons were from
tlio living .lelTerson and Madison. Ho
witnessed the phonomenal growth of
Jackson, outlived tho 1 1 president! who
sticooodcd him and took the leading part
In reconstructing the old party and Im
pressing its doctrines upon the third gen
eration. Allen G. Thurman was horn In Lynch
burg, Va., Nov. 13, 1813. Hi! father, Kev.
P. Thiirmnn, and his mothor, only daugh
ter of Colonel Nathaniel Allen, father of
the Into Governor Allen, removed to Chll
llcothe, O., In 181(1, where young Thiir
mnn wns well educated, studying lnw
with his uncle, the late William Allen,
then 1" lilted States senator, and subse
quently with tho lnte Noah H. Hwayne of
the i'nited States supreme bench. He
praoticcd law from lsilii to 1851, when he
was elooted judgo of tho supreme court,
being chlof justloe from 1851 tn 18nfl,
when his term expired. During his su
preme judgeship he took up his resldeno.
permanently in Columbus. Previously he
had boon elected to congress. In 18K7 he
wns the Demoerntlo candidate for govern
or agninst 14 Prosldent K. Ii. Hayes and
was benton by less thnn 8,000. In 18H8 he
wns elected United State! !enator over
Clement K Vallnndighnni and re-eleoted
In 1874, serving li years In that body.
Karly In I -I7ii the name of Thurman be
came prominent in connection with the
presidency, hut he did not got the nomi
nation. Tho next winter In the senate he
took strong ground in favor of the elec
toral commission, nnd the Issue of that
method of suttliug the dispute as to the
presidency caufed him an apparent loss
of popularity for n time. In the senate,
however, he was easily first, and when hi!
parly obtained, a minority he wi chosen
to fireside in the absence of Vice Presi
dent Wheeler. In 1880 he rocelved the
vote of Ohio and some votes from other
states In tho Deuiooratio convention to
nominate for the presidency, and In 1884
he again received some votes. In 1888 he
was the nominee for the vioe presidency
on tho ticket with Cleveland, which failed
of election.
Of Judgo Thurman's ohildren, Allen
married MIks Webb of Baltimore, aDd
their four children are the life of the dou
