A Washington letter from the Chicago Times-Herald's corresponflent, Walter Wellman, a well-informed writer, is devoted to proving that t? Mr. Olney ir due the credit for the recent elaboration and declaration of the Monroe doj0tbe as aplied to the Yenezull*i|i*^e^ Tlljte purjxjse is to answer thencllimis of General Gresham's friends who have been urging that Mr. Olney only took uip and completed the late secretary's work along the lines he had marked out. Mr. Wellma.'i shows tfhat Secretary Gresham's illness had prevented him from devoting any attention to the Venezuelan question. Mr. Olney took up the case and, as a lawyer studies his briefs, he went through it from beginning to end and prepared the letters "and instructions that were sent to Mr. Bayard. Wihat adds much to the strength of Mr. Olney's presentation of the Venezuelan case, and of the relation of the Monroe doctrthe to it, is Mr. Wellman's assertion that Secretary Olney entered upon his investigations of the history and evidence tearing upon the 'boundary dispute witli no preconceived opinion of What he'would prove. (He did not pre.determine^tJhat either Great Britain or Veitezuela was right but his trained facuitiesfled him to the unerring concli^ien that England bad pursued a high-hajrfdeti course, relying upon its superior strength, that flhe spirit of the Monroe doctrine had been violated and that if this violation should be acquiesced in the principle of the doctrine would be forever lost.

THE EASTERN QUESTION. The exclusive news of the Pall Mall Gazette that Russia and Turkey have formed a firm alliance, which will give Russia the control

the Black Sea and

the Dardanelles, tells, if true, of really the most important and far-reaching In its effects of themanyexcltingdiplomatio affairs of the last six months. If this news is not modified or deprived of Its chief significance by later reports, which is not improbable, It means that Great Britain has received a stunning diplomatic blow by which its influence at Constantinople, which hitherto has been the greatest, will be replaced by Russian predominance. It means, if the treaty can be maintained, that hereafter a Russian fleet can "block the course of a British fleet to Suez, on its way to India, and that Russia will have anew route to India. Turkey, beset by enemies, has sought safety from the many 'by throwing itself into its bitterest enemy's arms which will never release it. Russia has been Its unrelenting foe for 200 years and has stripped it of great territories. It would bring nearer to a solution the Eastern question which has perplexed Europe for fifty years, but may bring on the contest which has long been dreaded as the crisis of the Eastern Question. If it is true that Russia and France are to unite with Turkey, we will see Great Britain resume its entente eordlale with Germany and show sympathy, at least, to the drelbund, or alliance of Germany, Austria and Italy, to -balance the union between Russia, France and Turkey, which is made powerful by the addition of strategic points to great military and naval forces. *Th«r« is a good reason for doubting 1

the existence or success of the new alii ance in the European concern for the balance of power which would almost insure a European alliance against Russia before its control of Turkey, with Constantinople, twill be allowed. If Basgia secures the privilege, of marching armies over Turkish territory it never can be dislodged, certainly not more easily than Great Britain could be driven out of Egypt

WHAT PROTECTION REALLY MEANS, The discussion at the meeting of manufacturers at Chicago of the competition to which some American industrfes will be exposed by the low-priced but skillfyl Asiatic labor adds force.to the following remarks on protection from Gunton's Magazine of January: "Protection in industrial legislation Is •necessary whenever a superior element in the national production is in danger of being injured by contact with an inferior productive element in other countries. Whenever that superiority is in tools and methods it does not need protection because its own productive efficiency furnishes its defense by lowering the cost of production. But when that superior element is higher-priced labor, which always means a higher standard of living and a superior state of civilization, it is of prime national importance, that" it be protected against injurious competition with the lower paid, labor and consequently inferior civilization of other countries. As a means of self-preservation—of fitness to survive, it is necessary for a nation to protect Its people from sudh injurrous ,oojn^petitlon."

As the Japanese, Chlne'se 'and East Indians are able to fill their pills with the most modern mochinery, the competition is not In the superiority of machinery and methods but In labor, between the labor of an inferior, cheaperliving people and that of a superior people with higher standards of living. The competition is not limited to Asiatic countries but extends to European countries* whose standards of living are below those of America. The contest is between labor classes directly and to assure success in the competition for trade the superior class of labor will be bound to reduce its startti&rd Jf lMng or lose its trade ahd its' living altogether.

The manufacturers at Chicago speak for a national interest when they speak for their own and for a policy that will protect and develop the greatest of all interests, manufacturing. In speaking of the manufacturing interest as the greatest of ail, another quotation from. Gunton is apropos, "It is a fact running through all history that the development of a higher type olf national power and civilization is always associated with, and depends upon, the development of manufacturing and artistic industries as compared with the crude, isolating, ruralizing, extractive industries."

A national principle of guarding such a great and complex interest, which directly or individually touches every soul In the commonwealth is wise, selfprotective: and necessary to the highest developments. i:

AN AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION.

The message wa^s referred to a. committee, aifd

ori

ttfe 4th of I^fey the house

adopted a report reviewing the situation* together wi,thta resolution declaring the concurrence of the house "in the opinion expressed by ihe president In his message 6f^ March 8th that the American provinces of Spain wh!ch have declared their independence and are In the enjoyment of It, ought to be recognized 'by the United States as independent nations.'1 At the same time anoth er resolution was adopted Instructing the ways and means committee to report a bill appropriating $100,000 "to enable the president to give due effect to such recognition," and on the 4th of May following congress appropriated the amount named "fdr such missions to the independent nations of the American continent as the president of the United States may deem proper/' The precedent is interesting because it was the first time the United States had been called upon to recognize the independence of any new nation ad because of its simplicity. The step w&s an important one, and, once taken, it was irrevocable.

The publication of the president's message called forth a'prompt protest from the then Spanish minister at Washington, Ebn Joaquin de Anduaga, to the secretary of state, In which, after expressing his surprise and arguing against the injustice of the measure, he contrasted the action of the United States with that of the European powers, and said: "Posterity will wonder that the power which has received the most prodfs of the friendship of 6pain should be dellghtedJwlth being the first to take a step 5^hicfi could have only been expected frpm-jone that had been injured." He complied:.

Although I

could

enlarge upon this dis

agreeable subject',' I wink it useless to do so,because the senHiafents which the message ought to excited in "the breast of every Spaniard, can, no secret to you. Those Which the king of Spain will experience at receiving

rfP

notification so unex

pected, will douibtlessnbe veTy disagreeable and at the saiyiet time that I listen to commmnioate it fro his majesty I think it my duty to protest, as I do solemnly protest against the- recognition of the governments mentkmed^fqthe insurgent Span i«h provinces of America by the United States dec\I aring th'at '11 can, in no way, now, or at amy tlnwu (lessen or invalidate, in the leaist, the ri/rfMt Qf Spain to the said provinces or to employ whatever means may be in her power tta^reundte them to the rest of her dominion:,.

The protest, solemir and high sounding as it. was, amounted to nothing. Soon after the. president's message .and the minister's protest reached Spain the reigning king issued an address to the European powers deprecating the rash and unfriendly act of the United States and expressing the hope that it would not be imitated by other powers. John Quincy Adams, secretary of state, replied to the protest in a brief and dig-nl-fled note, in which he reiterated the conviction that the recognition. of the new governments was justified by the circumstances. Referring to the citation of the example of European governments \vhlch th^ Spanish minister had made, Mr.. Adams^aid

It is not doubtful that other and more correct views of the whole subject will very shortly be taken by your government, and that it will, as well as the other European governments.. show that deference to the example of the United States which you urge it as the duty and policy of the United 8tat«s to show to theirs. The effect of the example of one independent nation upon the counsels and measures of another, can be just, only so far as it is voluntary and as the United States desire that their example shall be followed, so it is their intention to follow that of others, upon no other principle.

In due time European governments did follow the example of the United States and recognized-the Independence of the new states." These events, in connection with the Monroe doctrine, declared a year later, show that the foreign policy of the fflionroe administration, chiefly shaped by'John Quincy Adams, was thoroughly j^nerlcan.

Thei'e have been reports that while in Kalamazoo, Mich., Colonel Ingersoll visited a church which was organized and managed by a woman, and that he was so pleased with the services that he publicly stated that if he ever joined a church he would Join one like that. Colonel Ingersoll laughed when he heard of this rumor, and quickly said: "I vis} ted what is called the People's Church at Kalamazoo and was greatly pleased with it. This church has no creed. Np belief Is required. It makes no differenoe whether a person believes in God or not, or in the inspiration of the Bible. The object is to make people better, nobler, more charitable—1» educate the little children of the poor, to correct the abuses and errors of the time, to make people happy in this world. This church cares nothing about the wonders and miracles of the past. It turns its attention to the present, and wishes to develop the brain, strengthen the body, and civilize the heart. "The orthodox churches do no good. The people are getting tired of hearing about Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and about the consolations of hell, and I believe that in a few years there will be hundreds of churdhes like the 'People's Church' all over the country." "Is there any possibility of you or anybody else organizing 'such an Institution in New York?" was asked. "I do not know. I have not heard of such a .movement being on foot yet," was the reply.

AMUSEMENTS.

Tomorrow, Saturday night, the wellknown comedians, Gallagher and West, and the German dialect delineator, W. B. Watson, with their clever company of singers and dancers will be seen at the opera house. The Buffalo Courier in commenting on the performance of "O'Hooligan's Masquerade," speaks as follows: 'The olever comedians. Gallagher and West and W. B. Watson, appeared at the opera house

last

maa-velous.

evening, Wore a large

audience in the faroe comedy, O Hoolicran's Masquerade." The first and third acts were given over to' the most laughable representation of the haps and mishaps of the witty characters, while the second act was devoted to vaudeville. From the rise of the curtain until the close of the performance the audience was kept in a continual roar of laugK. The original and witty sayings of Gallagher and West took the house by storm while their make-up was rediculous in the extreme. W. B. Watson, as the Dutchman, also created much merriment by Ms brilliant dialect comedy. Ihe lady members of the company

are

ail well-

known &nd talented. &rtiot8. The attraction at the opera house next Monday night will be the musical farce comedy. "The Gilhooleys' Abroad," presented by a strong company of

cxmedmns1

singers, dancers and pretty girls, and headed by those prime favorites, the Gorrriji.no, John, James and George, of minstrel fame. Surely their new departure Should draw a large house, as they aJwas present something new and up to date. Of the performance the Cincinnati Tribune says: "The- German Brothers, oldtime black face artists and comedians, are nroduclng this week at the Fountain theater, a faroe oomedy entitled "The Gilhooleys' Abroad." The comedy Is thickly veined with spicy humor, and many good things oome off on the stage The laales of the company are especially well olothed, pretty, and not only delight the audience by their appearance, but compel the people who listen.to compliment them by thieir artistic powers. George Gorman ia, as he always was, good. He says a lot of funaiy things, and like his brothers, Is original. "Tne Race Track Sports," Sergeant Hinky, of the G. A. R. introducing new business in the way of songs and darioes, by Messrs. John and George Gorman, is deserving of credit. •riie delight that all New York took In Cissy Fitzgerald's dance in "The Foundling," dur£n«? it ran in Now York, was
