' ; ; al uphold President Cleveland, are compelled to admit that the pretensions of his gov ernment are jnadmissable, the Monroe licable, and his treatment of the case a blunder. Thus Harper's Weekly, hitherto an admiring supporter of President Cleveland, says that 1t was not expected that he would leave “to Great Britain no escape—at least no escape vis ible at present—from the bar alternative of direct submission to our demand or fight.” ‘This message,” continues, “seems to thrust upon British statesmen the momentous question whether, on the one band, they can afford to yield toa per- emptory demand of the United States under circumstances of humiliation; and to pash a foreign power, with whom it is our wish as well as our interest to live upon termsof friendly intercourse, in a case of difference, to the point of humiliation, 1s in our opinion a thing which should be avoided until it becemes absolutely neces- sary.” Thejbelief that the President’s action has been hasty and foolish seems to have reached even the Capitol itself. We are told in a despatch from Washington that there is an uncomfortable feelicg in offic ial and political circles “that the Ven uelana may have concealed some facts re- lating to their evidence, or that they have net investigated their title as carefully as they should have done. There is also, it ie said, just a bare suspicion that Lord Salisbury has some surprises in store for this government concerning the evidence whici his agents found at Madrid. It is remembered that in his note Lord Salis buey mentioned briefly the records found at the Spanish capital, but did not give copies of them or de more than to eay ina general way that they upheld the British contention. It is surmised that he has by this time carefully examined those records anil from them adduced a pretty strong support of the claim that the western lim- its of the Dutch poasessions were at the Or noco, and not at the Exsequibe. If Lord Salisbury is now at work upon a second communicationto this government, as is hinted in the despatches from London, it is believed the new evidence forms the topic of his note. The statement is positively made by re- sponsible members of the Government that if the commission finds evidence sup porting Great Britain’s claim, it will so report. If Venezuela has no rights within the disputed territory, the commission will certify to that fact, and thereby bring the entire subject, so far as the Govern- ment is concerned, to an end t is for- tunate that this loophole of escape from the untenable position occupied by Presi- dent Cleveland has been provided ; and we may indulge the hope that advan tage of it will betaken. It is significant that “ the Washington public has settled down to the conviction that the Great Britain-Venezuela controversy will be amicably settled, and without any serious friction between England the United States.” We are told that feature of the Venezuelan question now ‘the only of concern to the officials at Washington ia the attitude of the Venezuelans them- seives, 23 shown in despatches to the Herald from Caracas. preparations in Venezuela is seriously de- The report of war precated at the Capitul.

MR FERGUSON AND THE AGRICUL- FURAL DEPALTMENT (St. John Sun.) Dr. Montague, on taking over the de- partment of agriculture, gave some ipfor- mation to the press as to the policy which he propose to pursue. Among his other announcements was this: “TI have asked the leader of the goverv- ment to request the Hon. Dona'd f ergusoo of Prince Edward Island, who is a leading farmer of that Island, to represent the agricultural department in the upper chamber, Mr. Ferguson has kindly agreed, if requested, to dso, to take the work there, as well as to give his hearty co- operation in connec ion with the various lines which it is intend-d should be under- taken by the depart:nent.” We should like to see Mr. Ferguson in charge of a portfolio, for he is one of the ablest mem in the Senate. Bat while he will not fare so well with a share of the management of the department of agricul- ture a3 he would in control of another and less important branch of the public service, he will be able in this position to perform better service to Eastern Canada, and especially to the interest of his own province. The dairy industry of Prince Edward Island owes a great deal to the influence and attention of Mr. Ferguson, who has been untiring in his efforts to help the farmers to meet the conditions that now prevail. The province has in two or three years been brought to the front rank as a cheese—producing dir- trict. The department will not cease to promote and encourage this industry while making other important departures.

A QUESTION OF REPUBLICS. The New York Evening Post publishes the following editorials : Whetherthe Olney-Cleveland doctrine is the Monroe doctrine, or even a neces- sary corollary of the Monroe doctrine, is a qnestion likely to be discussed for months to come by publicists of all degrees of cap- acity. To the average citizen, much of the diseussion will be simply corfusing. \ rations) judgment presumes a know ledge of nineteenth century history, whien few possess, and an appreciation of the value of historical facts of which few are capable. There is one side of the ques tion, however, which needs only to be stated to be at once comprehended. At that time the Monroe doctrine was for- mulated, the absolute mona-chies of Eur- ope, banded togther in the Holy Alliance, were considering the reestablishment of Spanish authority over the independent South American Republics. In announe- ing our determination to oppose any such attempt, we Jaid much stress on the anti- thesis between European and American political principles. The Holy Alliance was the champion of unlimited kingly ruie, and we made our- selves champions of popniar govern ment in the Western hemisphere. It is a remarkable example of the power of words to take the place of ideas that our Goverr ment should now revert tothis old ery. ani call upon us to stand by Vene- zuela, as @ Republic, against Great Britain —our ally in the previous controversy aa a monarchy. Of course Venezuela is cal!- ed a republic, as Great Britain is called a monarchy; but, if we go behind the names and consider the facts, whatdo we find ? [t is notorious that in Latin America the majority of the so-called republics are military dictatorships, tempered by periodi- cal revolutions. In the intermediate the reign of each military tyrant the forms of republican government are observed, elections are held, but the “purity of the ballot’ is protected by troops, and the suc- ce-s of the government candidates is as- sured by the show of armed forces. Dnr- ing the periods of revolutionary anarchy all traces of republicanism disappear. There is no security for life or property, except in the case of foreigners, who are protected by the war-vessels of their re- spective countries. It is notorious that Venezuela is a re- public of this sort. A revolution occurred there less than four years ago; ex-Presid- President Palacio, and ousted it. The struggle for power continued for several months, and at the close of the war the condition of the country was described in all the European and American papers as “deplorable.” This is the “republic” which we are called upon to protect in the name and for the sake of liberty. This ix the sort of government that we are to aid in maintaining to theend thet our good republican morals may not be corrupted by evil monarchic communications. This is the result we reach by reasoning from phrases. The truth is, of course, that if we fear contamination, it is not against the constitutional states of Europe that we should first establish quarantine, but against our Latin-American neighbors. tbe danger which more seriously threat- ens popniar government to-day is not moa- archy, but anarchy. And what kind of a monarchy is Great Britain? Is its goy- ernment less popular than that of Ven- ezuela? Is it less popular than that of the United States even? Conservative English statesmen, including Lord Salisbury, have lamented the fact that Eng- country than ourfown ; that she lacks the checks which our written constitution, in- terpreted by our Federal State judiciaries, impose upon our elected representatives, Sir Henry Maine declares that we have preserved in our presidency, the monarchy of George IIf, Continental European publicists take similar views. Nearly a score of years azo one of the most brilliant of Frary, declared that if we go behind the e their real character, “Great Brita‘n is a republic with a hereditary president, and elective kiog.” the power of our executive, '-y his per-onal decision in bringing onr country to the verge cf war, is a striking confirmation of Marne’s assertion and Frary’s paradox. The works of Frary from which we draw the passage above cited is entitled, “The Demagogue’s Manual.” The context explains that the demagogue should nct himself be deceived by the names of things; he should only use them to mi-lead the people, who rarely distinguish between names and realities. The second article reads: America is one happy country in the world whose workable resources far surpass its dis, os- able capita!. We have not quarter enough capital of our own to develop them. We are, therefore, compelled, as a condition of material progress, to get all we can from Europe. In sending her millions of emigrants here she bas also to send the money to employ them. Auy one, therefore, who irrests this flow ot European capital, or who frightens it away, is as much an enemy of the country as the invader v: bo should block our rail- roads, trample down our wheat fields, and close our mines, Let him, also, be anathema.
