without arbitration England rush to
hold the Schomburgk line, it will be re-
gsrded u an act of hostility by thin
government and as an infringement of
the Monroe doctrine. England's record
in the past is that of grabbing whatever
she can get, right or wrong. and this
record tends to foster little faith in her
justice when it cornea to seizing torri-
t'ory anywhere. The Monroe doctrine
must be maintained by the United
Staten. It is vital to par own existence.
It will be matter of deep regret it we
must maintain it forcibly, but we are
ready for even that.
It is solemnly announced that the dig-
nity of both the Republican and Demo-
cratic senators in congress is so great
that they will not in any manner dicker
with or notice the few Populist senators,
either in rear nization or in passing
closely contested measures. Yes. But
just wait till they get intoutight place.
Those beset with hordes of people who
expect Christmas gifst might take a trip
across the water about this time. It will
be cheaper than giving Christmas prou-
ente to all who expect them.
All Americans will be glad of the
manly. patriotic Monroe doctrine tone
of President Cleveland.
