UAIXTAJXIXQ THE .WO.VKOK DOCTlilXK
The Monroe doctrine bos no more
earnest supporter than President Roose
velt, but he docs not regard It us giving
warrant for offensive or aggressive con
duct on the part of any American state
toward foreign powers. In his Minne
apolis, stMjoch a few weks ago he said;
"I,t us make It evident that we In
tend to do Justice. Then let us make It
equally evident that we will not tolerate
Injustice being done to us. Let us
further make It evident that we use no
words which we are not prepared to
back up with deeds and that while our
speech Is always moderate wo are ready
and willing to make It good. This Is the
attitude we must take as regards the
Monroe doctrine. VSe do not by this
doctrine Intend to sanction any policy
of aggression by one American common
wealth at the expense of nnj other, nor
any policy of commercial discrimination
against any foreign power whatsoever.
Commercially, as far as lids doctrine Is
concerned, all we wish Is a fair Held
and no favor, but If we are wist; we
shall strenuously Insist that under no
pretext whatsoever shall there bo any
territorial aggrandizement on American
soil by any Kuropean power, and this no
matter what form tho territorial ag
grandizement may take."
This accords with Intelligent American
Judgment ns to the meaning of tho Mon
roe doctrine. Its purposo Is wholly de
fensive. It offers no monaco to any
foreign power. No Interests of European
nations In this hemisphere nre en
dangered by U What was declared by
President .Monroe In to be the posi
tion of the United States Is the position
now. Tho colonies or dependencies of
any European power In this hemisphere
will not be Interfered with. Hut any
attempt on the part of a Kuropean
power to extend Its system to any por
tion of this hemisphere would be re
garded as dangerous to our peace and
safety and llrnily resisted. In regard to
this there Is no division er difference of
opinion among the American people.
Couimerclally, as was said by Mr.
Koosovelt, all we wish Is a fair Held
and no favor. Kuropcnns have a right
to whatever American markets they can
win In fair competition. Hut the United
States will not tolerate territorial ag
grandizement by the nations of Kurope
In this hemisphere, whatsoever the
pretext. At the same time It should be
understood that while safeguarding
American commonwealths against for
eign aggression the Monroe doctrine
will not shield them from Just responsi
bility for violations of their duty and
obligations toward foreign powers.
Whatever Kurope may think of the
.Monroe doctrine and It Is well under
stood that most of the governments re
gard It with disfavor It will be ilrmly
adhered to. A Hrltlsh Journal recently
suggested that It would be well for
Great Hrltaln to accept tho doctrine.
Practically .-die has done so and nothing
Is more certain than that she will never
attempt to contravene It. That was
qultp conclusively settled by the Vene
zuela case. As to other Kuropean pow
ers It matters little whether or not" they
accept the doctrine, since none of them
will venture to disregard It. It may
never be recognized as a part of Inter
national law, but It will continue none
the less effective so long ns It has the
support of all the American commonwealths.

The surprise by Filipino guerillas of a
company of American soldiers and the
killing of most of them, while It may
have no effect, as remarked by (icneral
MaeArthur, on the general result, Is yet
a painful reminder that the United
States still has active enemies in the
Philippines and suggests that much re
mains to be done before these enemies
are removed. According to the latest
advices the baud that surprised the
Americans numbered loo and how many
more of these guerillas there are In the
Island of Samar cannot be dcllultcly as
certained, but It Is not Improbable that
they are numerous.
It was a most unfortunate occurrence
and the tlrst thought regarding It Is that
the, Americans were cureless, that they
did not tuke proper precautious against
u possible surprise. Hut however this
may be, the circumstance shows that
there are still dangerous bauds of Fili
pinos to be dealt with, that constant
vigilance on the part of the American
troops Is necessary and that, the task
of hunting down and destroying the
guerilla bunds Is still far from llulshcd.

The republican campaign In Ohio will
open October 10, the democrats follow
ing within a, few days thereafter, so that
only about two weeks of political work
can be done before the election. He
ports from the stale say that the people
generally are taking very little Interest
In polltlcs.nud It Is not expected that
they can bo aroused In so short a cam
paign, although the leaders will make a
strenuous effort to do re. The repub
licans express conlldence that they will
carry the.slato by the usual majority,
which under normal conditions Is about
-'., H 10, but It Is admitted that tho death
of President MeKlnley has , produced
some change In political conditions and
t hat republicans generally will not feel
the snme Interest In the coming election
as they would If their groat leader wore
alive.
It Is said that Ohio republicans keenly
feel the loss of prestige their state suf
fers 111 ho change of administration.
They see the stage of political action
transferred from Ohio to Now York and
the republican leaders of Ohio, who
have been exceedingly Influential at the
White house for the past four years,
relegated to tho roar. It will be unfor
tunate If this view shall materially In
terfere with getting out tho republican
vote In Ohio this year, for tho election
Is Impnrtnnt nnd Its result will havo a
great deal of Influence upon the country.
A governor and other stato olllcers aro
to be chosen nnd,n legislature that will
elect a successor to United States Sen
ator Foraker. It Is perhaps not to be
expected that Ohio republicans will have
as much Influence with the present as
wlUi.tho prece,dlug administration, but
Jhat-lfl bo reason .why taeflbould-Le in
different or fall to do their duty. Re
publicans everywhere should feel that
It la Incumbent upon them to show
their conlldence In President Roosevelt
and especially should this feeling pre
vail among Ohio republicans. "There
Is only one way In which I can mnko
a success," said the president a few
days ago to, some congressmen, "and
that Is by having the cordial and ear
nest support of every good citizen and
especially the members of congress."
Mr llooevelt Is pledged to carry out
the policies of, his predecessor and lie
should have the support of all repub
licans who approve those policies. The
party In Ohio will make a grave mistake
If It falls In Its duty at this time.

Some newspapers seem to forgot that
no man, whether In public or in private
life, Is under compulsion to answer
qiMstlons propounded by persistent re
porters. And If the Importunity for an
Interview for publication Is rebuffed, It
gives the piqued reporter no license to
make him a victim of nbuse and vitu
peration. These remarks aro suggested by tho
Inhospitable treatment, to put It mildly,
accorded J. PIcrpont Morgan In the lo
cal yellow Journals. These papers have
gone altogether outside the limits of de
cency In their references to his transit
through Omaha, Mr. Morgan Is perhaps
entitled to no greater deference than uny
other American citizen who has attnlned
prominence In any Held, but he Is cer
tainly entitled to treatment different
from that which would be given a noted
criminal yet no outlaw could have been
reviled In language so vindictive as that
Indulged by the local yellow Journals to
which we have referred.
While an apology Is not to bo expected
from that source, It Is to bo hoped
Omaha will not be held responsible for
the vaporlngs of these jwlltlcal dema
gogues who seek popularity by foment
ing class prejudice.
The tiro at Norfolk brings to light the
fact that several other state Institutions
have a deficient water supply. Money

making a fuss about the lack of water
had better take a reef In their nmlnsall
before It Is carried overboard.
Douglas county democrats havo the

The city tax assessors are making up

franchise Is worth money on the mar

Tho public will hear with a sigh of relief
that tho threatened struggle between a
local brewery and its workmen has been
averted. On Thursday morning thirty
thirsty workmen went on r strlko because
a heartless employer had cut down their
(supply of beer from six to flvo bottles dally
for each man. As ono of tho most eloquent
of tho strikers looked at It this action was
"downright cruelty." Instead of cutting
down tho daily supply, ho declared It
should bo increased, because at present the
men can hardly keep tho dust out of their
throats. All sorts of boycotts nnd other
retaliatory measures wcro threatened, tho
strikers oven suggesting that If things camo
to tho worst they might bo driven to the
point of drinking no beer at nil. Six bot
tles n day, they declnred, was tho heaven
born right of every man who worked In a
brewery. This was a matter of principle
with them nnd they refused offers to coin
promlso on tho ground that they had noth
ing to arbltrnto and not nearly enough to
drink. Matters lookod serious enough for
a time, but Anally, at tho expenso of some
diplomacy and moro beer a truco was
patched up.

Secretary Oago recently received an en

that ho had suffered "great grief." Accre

much of a flguro In the government's ac

how much property, ho has brought from a
foreign land, ,wul whether it has been
bought for his own use, somo pcoplo think,
Is an improvement on tho old plan, Inas

Ord TlmeR (rep.): Judgo S. II. Sedgwick
Is one of the cleanest men that over held
office In Nebraska and ho will run way
ahead of his ticket In his own district,
whero he Is well known.
Auburn Granger (pop.): Tho law enacted
In ISO" regulating charges for yardago and
grain at tho Block yards was on Monday
passed upon by Judgo Mcl'herson of thn
United States foderal court, Bitting nt
Council Rluffa, who decided that the law-
was not legally enacted because the gov
ernor did not sign the samo bill passed by
tho housn and tho Hcnatc. Such a cussed
way of doing business Is enough to mako a
preacher grit his teoth.
York Times (rep.): Frank Ransom has
gono over to tho democrats, which Is the
worst luck that luckless party has had
Rlnce tho war. Frank went direct from sil
ver republican to democrat, without spend
ing any tlmo ln the political purgatory of
populism. Some of those fellows are brows

Auburn Granger (pop.): If wo may Judgo
correctly Colonel Howard of tho Columbus
Telegram Is writing himself down bb a sort
of has8wood slab by trying to prejudice
voters ngalnst Judgo Sedgwick, tho repub
lican nomlnco for supremo Judgo, by de
claring that ho considers Mr. Sedgwick a
dangerous man on tho bench becnutn he
would favor tho enforcement of tho law.
A man with tho Intelligence of Mr. Howurd
should not descend to such clap-trap cam
paign rot.
Genoa Leader (hid.): Editor Howard of
tho Columbus Telegram put his foot in it
in great shape nt the democratic stato con
vention last wcok. He Introduced a reso
lution condemning tho ncccptanco of passes
by public ofllclals and Homo eon-of-a-guu
got up and nmended It to Include edltora of
nowapapers aliso, and It carried. From
henceforth nnd forever wo shall expect to
hco democratic editors walk up to tho
ticket offlco and plank down tho cold cash
whonover they dcHfre to travel by rail.
Ooih! aren't wo glad wo aro not editing a
democratic newspaper.
Creto Vldette (rep.): "Uncle Jako" Is
sorely troubled about the debt handed down
to tho populists by Chairman Edmlsten as
an heirloom. Ho tried to Induco tho demo
cratlo allies to pay a portion of It and
fulled. Wo suggest to him the propriety of
Issuing populist party bonds, drawing a
Rmall rato of Interest nnd payable at any
futuro tlmo In free silver. Hy Investing
in a few blocks a populist could becomo a
bloated bondholder and tho only risk ho
would run would bo the probability that his
party would tako advantagn of tho bank
rupt law and the debt would then bo can
celed by repudiation. Undo Jake, of course,
would be too Bharp to Invest In tho bonds,
but ho would hnvo tho Batlafactlon of
Bcolng "that debt" wiped out In a lawful
manner,
Columbus Telegram (dem.): Anti-monopoly
sontlmcnt Is not dead In Nebraska, al
though wo must admit that It Is stooping
now. Hut thero will be an awakonlng somo
day, nnd In that day Nebraska will elect
public olllclals who will not daro to roturn
homo to tholr constituents with a record of
subserviency to tho corporations. Thoro
will come a limit to tho audacious work of
the corporations In corrupting tho legisla
tures and courts. That limit was reached
In Iowa In tho early '70s, when tho pcoplo
throw off tho cloak of lndifforcnco und
elected olllcers who woro In dead earnest
la voicing thn claims of tho pcoplo for re
lief from corporation rulo, and those ofll
clals enacted what aro to this day known
as lho "granger" laws, probably because
all the farmers of tho stato wero behind
the movement. Thoro. aro many farmers
In Nebraska, moro farmers than Omaha
lawyers nnd paid political servants of the
railroad, Block yards, telephone, telegrnpb,
Insurance and express companies. And tho
farmers will have something to Bay Homo
day regarding tho laws of Nebraska. It Is
true that wo havo sometimes elected legis
latures composed largely of farmers, but
It Is also true that many of them woro of
that class of farmers who woro excellent
subjects for the hypnotic Influence of fusion
piusB-brlbers nnd republican oil room work
ers. The Telegram knows no discourage
ment In efforts for tho suppression of cor
poration anarchy In tho republican party
aad pass-bought traltora In tho domocrntlo
camp. Thoro Is a good day coming In No
hraska, a day when the corporation hire
lings In all political partleB will pray for
a mountain high enough to cast a shadow
dark enough to hide tholr own records of
political Bin.

Ono of tho chief triumphs of labor In

Immoral and unlawful advice. Tho steel

Philadelphia Rcord: Thero Is nothing
bo strikingly obvious in tho reading of tho
proceedings of tho Schley court of Inquiry
as tho unreliability of human evidence. No
doubt all tho witnesses called aro trying
to tell the truth, but It ts tho truth dis
torted or distended by lapso of time, by
difference In tno point of view and by
partisanship, Even tho logs of tho war
ships and tho charts of tho Navy depart
ment aro admittedly Inaccurate.
Indianapolis News: Admiral Schley's dis
patch announcing tho victory of Santiago,
which was not allowed to bo sent, was
mndo public for tho first time yesterday.
Certainly It Is much more huslnessllko and
modest than that of Admiral Sampson. It
Blmply announces thnt tho Spanish fleet
had come out of tho harbor at a certain
time, that It was nil captured or destroyed,
gives tho casualties, announces thnt the
commander-in-chief Is superintending the
transfer of the prisoners
... ...itv ,o
no effort to monnnnll th .),.. .. -
""KKeetlon oven that tho fleet waa under
his command. Ono thing at least Is to he.
eald nbout Schley and that Is that no mat
ter how many mistakes ho may bavo made
ho haB always managed to say tho right
thing. And that Is a good deal.
Springfield Republlcnn: The Schley
court's decision not to permit Rear Admiral
Sampson to bo represented by attorneys
at the hearings may be Interpreted m
meaning that tho court proposes to keep
tho investigation to its original lines ns
much as possible. Tho record of Schley
Is under Investigation, not Sampson's. Ilut
having disposed of Schley another Investi
gation might bo held for tho purposo of
"showing up" tho comnnder-ln-chlcf; and,
Anally, both ofllcers having been proved to
bo wretched Incapables unworthy to com
mand n catboat on a duck pond, tho pcoplo
would bo left to figure out how In blazes
It happened under such dreadful leader
ship that Cervora's fleet met Its doom "so
suddint." Tho victory would thus become
extremely embarrnsslng to students of his
tory, slnco it must bo accounted for.
Philadelphia North Amorlcan: Tho testi
mony adduced nt the Schley court of Inquiry
reveals nn extraordinary slack sense of
ofllclal responsibility on the part of navy
ofllccrs who figured ln the Sanltngo cam
paign. The air of Indifference with which
officers who. In the regular course of duty,
prepared ofllclal logs nnd charts and re
ports now testify to the Inaccuracy and In
completeness of their own records Is amaz
ing. Thus Captain Hellner declares that
the olllelal chart of tho bnttlo that was
drawn and signed by the board of olllcers,
of whom Hellner himself was ono, Is "ab
solutely worthless." This map was en
dorsed by all tho officers who had to do
with It, as well as by various ofllclals of tho
navy, Including Secretary' Long, yet nn one
today pretends that It Is rellablo evldenco
and Its authors aro the first to repudlato
It. Tho executive ofllcer of tho Texas, Cap
tain Harber, goes on tho aland to explain
for tho first time thnt h!a log omits cb
Fontlnl details, which ho now supplies to
his own confusion. Captnln Wise of the
Bcout Yaln, unblushlngly ndmttR that ho
dollboratoly disobeyed orders nnd failed to
commulcato to Admiral Schley tho Impor
tant Information ho had, as ho rlalniH, that
Cervora's fleet waa actually ln Santiago
harbor when Wise met tho lirooklyn there.
Every day adds to tho growing sum of con.
tradlctlons nnd discrepancies ln the offl
clol reports and verbal testimony of the
ofllcors of tho fleet.

Old Grimes Is dend. that good old man
We ne'er shall ceo lilm more.
He used to wear a long black coat
All buttoned down bofoie.
His heart t'wos open an the day,
Ills feelings nil were trie.
IIIh hair was some Inclined to gray
Ho woro It In u queue-
Whene'er he heard the volee of pnln,
His breast with pity burned
The largo round head upon bin cuno
From Ivory was turned.
Kind words he ever had for nil,
He knew no Imso design,
His eyes wcro dark ami rather small,
His nose was aquiline,
lie lived nt penco with all mankind,
In friendship bo was trim,
HIh cont hud pocket holes behind,
Ills pantaloons wero blue
Unharmed, the rIh which eirth pollute
He passed xeoiiroly o er
And never wore n pair of bootH
For thirty years or more
Hut good old Grimes Is now nt rest,
Nor fears misfortune, s ftown
He wore a dnuhlo-breiiHtcd vest-
Tho stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to tlud.
And pay It Its desert;
He bad nn mnllco In bis rnlnd,
No rulllcH on his shirt.
His neighbors he did not nbuso
Was Koelablo and gay;
1I woro large duckies on his shoes,
And changed them overy day
Hl knowledge, bid from publlo gaze,
Ho did not bring to vlow,
Nor mnke a nolso town-meeting i .
As ninny people do.
Ills worldly goods ho never threw
In trust to fortune's cbiu.. en
Hut lived (lis nil Ills brotlii-rH ,iu,
In easy circumstance r.
Thus undisturbed by nnxlo is cares
Ills peaceful moments ran,
And everybody nul.1 lw w.n
A uao oia gentleman.
