Nearly all great jurists In deciding
complex questions huve found it neces-
sary to establish precedents. The
Venezuelan boundary lino m in dis-
pute between that country and Eng-
land. The arbitury actions of England
have inado it necessary for President
Cleveland to apply the Monroe doctrine
to the situation. Whatever may be
said of the doctrine certain it is Mr.
Cleveland has established a noblo pre-
cedent which meets with approval
from every true American regaulless
of party.
.l.UIKS MONHOK.
James Monrpo was born in West-
morland county Virginia in 1738
He was an ofllcer in the army of
Charles I afterwards liouteuaut in
the campaign on the Hudson. At the
age of 23 he was elected to the as-
sembly of Virginia In which ho served
two terms. He was then appointed
minister plenipotentiary to France. In
1799 he was elected governor of Vir-
ginia and in 1802 he was appointed
envoy to France in connection with
the Louisiana purchase. In the same
year he was commissioned minister to
England In the midst of his efforts
at this timo to secure mutual
rights against the impressment of
seamen he was suddenly ordered to
Spain as minister extraordinary to
adjust the controversy between the
United States and that country In re-
lation to the boundary of the Louis-
iana purchase. In 1810 he was a mem-
ber of the Virginia assembly. During
the war of 1812 ho pledged lis own
private fortunn in support of the de-
fense of New Orleans. IIu was elect-
ed president in 1817. His administra
tion was a most important one for
during this term of oillce Mississippi
Illinois and Maine were admitted to
the Union. The Newfoundland ttshor-J-.
les treaty was effected and Spain cod-
ed Florida. In 1820 James Monroe
was re-elected president Then Mis-
souri was admitted and the indepen-
dence of Mexico recognized. The na-
tional policy known as the Monroe
doctrine was proinu'gato l in his fa-
mous message of December 3 1821.

About this time England and Russia
both claimed the northwestern coast
of America now known .as British
Columbia and our own states of Wash
iuffton and Oregon. John Oulncy Ad
ams 'was at this time secretary of
state. Huron Tuyl was in. our capital
as minister from Russia. Mr Adams
said to him: "We will contest the
right of Russia to any territorial es
tabllsl.ment on this' continent and wo
assume distinctly the principle
that the American continents
are no longer tubjects for any new
European colonial establishments."

ander I. recognized our pretentions by
not pushing southward his possessions
of Russian America or what Is now
known as Alaska.
A little time previous to this the
Mexican and South American colonics
had revolted and established republi-
can forms of government and one by
one the United States recognized their
independence.
Spain wanted to reconquer her lost
colonies and thus set up what was
called the "Holy Alliance." It com-
prised France Prussia Austria and
Russia. It was their intent to win
back at all hazards these lost posses-
sions. This policy did not suit the govern-
ment of England. At this time it was
against her commercial interests.
Oeorge Cunning was then llritlah for-
olgn secretary. He went to Mr. Rush
the I'nitcd States minister to England
and asked that this government co-
operate with England In resisting tho
resubjugation of the Spanish American
colonies.
Nothing however came of this
and the pretentious claims of Canning
as to having originated the Monroe
doctrine was based solely upon the
proposition made at this time and
England's part in It never went be
yond tho bare suggestion.
Spain was seeking by every means
intrigue and violence to regain her
larcenous grasp upon the now free and
independent colonics.
Shea ought by every means and by
promises of territory to enlist the
aggressive aid of European powers.
So formidable was tho influence of
the allied powers becoming and so
dangerous the outlook that President
Monroe sent his startling message to
congress. He elaborately reviewed the
situation and In the conclusion of his
message said:
niE .MONROE DOCTRINE.
"We owe it therefore to tho candor
and to the amicable relations between
the United States and those powers to
declare that we should consider any
attempt on their part to extend any
system to any portion of this hemis-
phere as dangerous to our peace and
safety.
"With tho existing colonies or de-
pendencies of any European power we
have not interfered and shall not
interfere; but with the governments
who have declared their independence
and maintained it and in whose inde
pendence we have great consideration
and on just principles acknowledged
we could not view any interposition
for the purpose of opprcEBing them or
controllng in any manner their destinj
by any European power in any other
light than as a manifestation of an
unfriendly disposition towardtho U. S.
This noble declaration of principles
has received the endorsements of every
Amsricau statesman from that day to
this. This message from President
Monroe to congress was destined to
become a great principle in the gov-
ernments of the world. It has been
approved by such lights as Jefferson
Webster and Lincoln and none have
ever dissontcd from it.
In 1801 while the United States was
n the throes of clval war Napoleon
III taking advantage of ourdistrcsscd
condition placed the Arch-Duke Maxi-
milian of Austria upon the throne of
Mexico. He sent him the support of
the French armies. General Benito
Juarez the rightful president fled
with a few followers to El Paso Del
Norto. He made his way up the Miss-
issippi and Ohio rivers to Washington
and there obtained the edict frura Sec-
retary Seward that caused Napoleon
III to withdraw the French troops
He returned to El Paso del Norte and
b gan his march to the city of Mexico

He captured Maximilian at the head
of a considerable army at ijaereturu.
Maximilian's trial was short; he was
clearly a usupor; he and two generals
were taken out to Cerra iU las Coin-
pauas (the hill of the bolls) and shot.
It was there beneath the s ift glim-
mer of a trophical twilight the inde-
pendence of Mexico was proclaimed
and thcMonrod doctrine became n sol-
emn fact.
When Monroe announced his doc-
trine it foiled the plunB of the "Holy
Alliance" and put an una to their in-
terposition in South American affairs.
John Qulncy Adams first uttered Its
principles to Karon Tuyle the Russian
minister with the result ulroady
named.
This doctrine has novor found place
upon our statute books but it has be-
come to us an unwritten law. The
constitution of England has existed
upon the same basis almost from time
Immemorial.
James O. Maine once voiced its sen-
timents in no uucerttuii tones in con-
nection with the l'linaum canal.
All law at best Is only written tra-
dition so the unwritten one may be-
come as binding as null as un accept-
ed faith.
TIIK VKXI7.UK! A IMHJNIIAUV.
About the time Jackson defeated the
British forces under Packiugham at
New Orleans General liollirar was
fighting Spain in the cause of Vene
zuelan independence which he gained
and became tho Washington of that
country. The government he estab-
lished granted extensive concessions
to the Manoa and Orinoco companies
composed of citizens of the United
States to hold title to
U.000000 acres of valuable
laud along the botith bank of the Ori-
noco river embracing a number of
rich undeveloped gold fields. Eng-
land icfused these Americans the
right of their possessions and installed
an armed forco to keep them away.
Thus from being a. mere houndry
lino controversy between England and
Venezuela a part of the dUpute has
becomo an international a Hair in
which this alone will sooner or later
force the United States to take a hand.
Venezu'la comprises a terr'tory
three times as large as Texas and has
a population of 2500000. The country
is rich in rare wood mineral and agri-
culture. British aggression dales back
to 1827 but to begin with tho bound-
ary line complication we must lock
back to 1018 There had len a war
between Holland and Spain in the
settlement of which the Spanish ced-
ed to the Dutch a large slice of terri-
tory adjoining Venezuela on the east
with the Esrquibo river as its western
boundary. This was ratified by the
treaty of Minister In 1S14 England
obtained from Holland a portion of
this cedetl territory next to and ajoin-
lng tho Esequlbo which they named
British Guiana It was nst long
before the Englishmen discovered
the lands in Venezuela laying west o!
the E'rqulbo river were richer in gold
and oil rr valuables than their own.
Tuy t hiix b gan-their encroachments
acrosb the lino and sought to establish
themselves with impunity upon the
territory of Venezuela Venezuela
disturbed moro or loss by civil war
awoke one day In 1827 to the fact that
tho English had n linn footing upon
their territory Several towns west of
tho Esequlbo boundary wero absorbed.
At this time Venezuela was at war
with Spain and could do nothing with
England but euter a pretest. To this
that government replied that amis-
take had been made in fixing the
original boundary and that British ter-
ritory really reached to tho mouth of
the Orinoco river. Finding England
would not evacuate tho territory
Venezuela offered to arbitrate with
any friendly power. This offer was
declined. In 1811 being then at peace
with Spain Venezuela again protested
as to English invasion and this is the
answer they received from that gov
eminent: "Wo have bjught this ter-
ritory from the Indians and Dutch
and propose to retain it "
This so provoked the Venezuelans
that apparantly to appease them the
English government commissioned
Robert Schomberg for the purpose
of marking out the boundaries of
of British Uuiana. Schomberg staked
out a line running fro.n the mouth of
the Orinoco river south by a circuitous
route to Roraima and thence directly
south to Brazil cutting off from Vene-
zuela and adding to Hritlsh Guiana a
larger area of country than the state
of New York.
This action 0 inceusod the Venezue-
la that ho was obliged to pull up many
of his stakes and leave the country.
At that lime It was regarded as a
clear attempt on the part of England
to steal tho rich gold fields of Vene-
zuela. Robert Schomberg was an adven-
turer much after the Emin Pasha type
but less scrunulous than Emin. At
one time he was a clerk In Philadel-
phia then partner of a tobacco con-
cern in Richmond. Ho drifted to tho
We6t Indlas and afterwards to British
Uuiana Ho was a botanist and wrote
some works upon that subject and af-
ter his so-called survey giving Eng-
land an immense territory ho was
knighted by tho queen
Since then new gold fields have been
discovered and the lino pushed much
farther west than th.tt given by
Schomberg.
In vain tho little republic has de-
manded arbitration. Iu 1811 Lord
Aberdeen hont a party of
surveyors to Venezuela to fix upon tho
boundary line; they brought it many
miles eastward of Schombergs and left
out tho mouth of the Orinoco which
was the very comaiecial stronghold
England wished most to retain. Then
the lino was changed to suit better
the purposes of England they ex-
tended and took iu ouo-tliird more
territory than what Schomberg had
Intended Venezuela protested and
England prepared to take tho land by
force To ward this off Venezuela
agreed in 1850 not to oeeup; the dis-
puted country until the matter should
be amicably settled.
This compact was kept until 1881.
In the meantime England was en-
1 croachlng over tho line and estab-
lulling herself in the most favored
localities.
In 1881 Lord Uran7illo had anew
boundary staked out as a sort of
compromise between the Schomberg
and Aberdeen lines There was some
prospect of a settlement of this line
but when Lord Granville went out of
oillce ills successor held different
views.
In 1880 Lord Rosebcry submitted a
proposit on giving England the control
of the mouth ot the Orinoco river ami
almost simultaneously British troops
took possession of the disputed terri-
tory fortified positions wore
taken and notice given that
the country was under British
control. This followed by Eng-
land giving valuable concessions
of Vcnezula lands and mines to British
subjects. Venezuela granted similar
concessions to tho same lands and
property to other persons. There are
1-1000000 acres of these double grants
on the south bank of the Orinoco
river. It also embraces many rich
gold fields.
England denies the right of Vene-
zuelan grants and posted troops in tho
Held to Dick up claims in June 1801
the Manoa and Orinoco companies or-
ganized by American citizens made
formal demand for possession ot their
properties under the Venezuelan con-
ceptions In response to this President Cleve-
land formerly brought the matter to
the attention of the British govern-
ment In July bat no satisfactory an-
swer has been had. In tho meantime
the English keep on invading the
country pushing north wpst and
south until todav they are intrenching
hundreds of miles beyond the limit
which even the unscrupulous Schom-
bery had fixed.
WII.I. NOT AlllimtATK
All sorts of propositions has been
made to England for a peaceful
solution of this question So far
she has refused a.l offers of arbi-
tration and thus the matter stands
President Cleveland Is determined to
enforce tho Monroa doctrine and the
people regardless of party arc with
him. England now has our ultimatum
and she must either recede from her
position or fight.

London Jan. 2. Tho news from
Pretoria Transvaal republic to-dny
tends to coufirm the gravity of the
situation there growing out of the In-
vasion of tho Boer territory by tin
armed force of tho British South Af-
rica company numbering about 700
men with six maxim guns led by Dr.
Jameson who wns so successful iu his
operatious against King Lobenfcliin
The Transvaal president Kruoger has
called upon the Burghers to do fend
their country and a serious conflict is
anticipated In splto of the fact lltnl
the colonial secretary the Hon. Jo-
seph Chamberlain has tolographud to
Dr. Jameson to withdraw Into British
territory and has urged President Km-
ger to do his utmost to prevent blood-
shed. A dispatch received hero from tho
Transvaal by a financial paper savs:
"The Burghers are advancing to meet
Jameson. A conllict Is hourly ex-
pected." The afternoon papers comment at
great length upon this fresh trouble
which the British government has to
face. They recognize tho fact that
the invasion of the Trnnsvaal.
ilthough made upon the tiriruiit re
quest of thousands of Englishmen and
others in tho Transvaal who com-
plain that they have to pay the whole
revenue of tho country while being
denied representation is liable togivo
particular offense to Uermau whose
friendship at this critical .age the
Marquis of Salisbury is mo anxious
to cultivate.
As tho telegraph wires are believed
to have been cut behind Dr. Jame-
son's force and as tho Boor forces
well armed and equipped have Ihmmi
mobilized under General .loubert
news of a bloody conflict Is expect-
ed. The Boers can put in the Hold
about 0000 fighting men supported
with maxim guns and to oppose this
force Dr. Jameson has only about
700 men with six maxim guna
who may receive the direct or in-
direct assistance of about -1000 uu-
tralncd and badly armed Englishmen.
However Jameson may ho able to call
to his support 1000 men belonging to
the De Bers Company whose head-
quarters are at himberly. These men
ire well equipped and would prove
an effective reinforcement for Dr.
Jameson. But as the latter is already
said to be advancing noon Johannes-
burg with his small body of men. lie
may meet the Boers and the issue h
decided before any reinforcements can
reacli him. Great Britain through
the colonial secretary has offered to
arbitrate the matter hut it is feared
that the offer has come too late and
that serious consequences are to bo
spprehended.
The secretary of state for the colo-
nies Mr. Chamberlain has issuod the
following statement on the Transvaal
question: "Having learned on Mou-
uay evening mat ur. Jameson nai en
tered the Uoer country I have since
been continuously engaged in an en
deavor to avert the consequences of
his extraordinary action. Sir Hercules
Robinson has by proclamation pub-
licly repudiated Dr. Jameson's net and
has enjoined the British subjects to
obey the law and remain quiet. Dr.
Jameson and his ofilcurs have ulao been
ordered to retire immediately. It is
hoped that a collision will be u verted
but Dr. Jaireson cut the wires us lie
advanced."
"The British agent at Johannes-
burg'' Mr. Chamberlain's stateinuut
continues "is moving forward tomcat
Dr. Jameson and lo order him iu tho
Queen's name to retire. I have called
upon the chartered company to repu-
diate Dr. Jameson's proceedings of
which the company says it i entirely
ignorant."
