WASHINGTON LETTER.
Frost oar EajaU: Csrresponrtant.
- President Cleveland a u d
Secretary (ireshau. are hav
ing as much trouble with the
influential jmjro element in
"the United States as with the
Pandora's box of applica
tions which has been dumped
upon the Department ' of
State. The jinjroists can see
no excuse lor Spain not hav
ing .'made, the apology de-
nianded (although it is pnt-
ent t o all cool heads tint
t he delay in caused by the
change of minister) and
would like to see the Presi
dent, snid a flet. over to
seize (,'uba at once. The
same hot heads also inter-
pret the Monro""doctrine to
mean that the. United States
should attack (heat Brit
ain, if that "ouimy carries
out its threat to eo npel Nic
aragua by force to accede to
its demands. Fortunately
for the country ii"it her the
President, nor his cabinet
has-any touch of the jingo
fever; consequently- the num
erous foreign complication
are being handled in v bnsi
ness and common sent-e Way.
No further demand will be
made upon Spain until its
new ministry has been given
ample time to reply to that
already mad-; then th; de-
inand will be renewed in n
tear that will neither briny
the apology by cable, or wai .
As to the Monroe .doctrine:
President Cleveland does mt
interpret that, doctrine to
mean that this country will
prevent a European power
from assist itig upon honor-
able, and proper treatment
in its dealings with the coun
tries of Central and South
America. President Cleve
land thinks it was originally
intended by President Mon
roe to insure fair play for the
comparatively weak coun
tries of South and Central
America, and to prevent the
absorption of their territory
by European -nations and
Ambassador Mayan! h a s
been instructed to inform the
Hritish government that the
United States would main
ain that construction of the
doctrine. The general be
lief heie is that Great liri t
ain was making one of her
usual bluffs in dealing with
weak nations when she threat
ened to bombard the Nienr
agunn seaports if her de
inands were not acceded to
by a specified date; but
should that threat be carried
out there is a wide diffem.ee
of opinion as to whether it
would be icgarded by this
country as a violation of th
Monroe doctrine, with the
majority in the affirmative.
. The only unfortunatething
about Secretary Gees-ham's
demanri for the recall of Uim
Hawaiian minister, because
of his repeated violations of
diplomatic etiquette, is that
it has re-opened the whole
tiresome Hawaiian question.
The U. S. is on the eve of
a diplomatic ,yictor.y in the
controversy With Germany

cattle were diseased and we-e

go vern men t h a vi ng been con
vinced of its error. Wheu'lier
many removes the prohibi
tio.n, the other European
countries which followed her
in adopting it will do the
same. This victory will bear
testimony to the wisdom of
President Cleveland in refus
ing to order tariff retaliation
against the countries which
slnt out our cattle.

it is apparent, that the

Good Tines Coming.
Richmond State,
-Hon. I. Taylor Ellyson, one
of the mast astute business
men in Richmond, and one of
the most cautious of men in
his statements, gives it as his
deliberate opinion that t h e
country will now haveat least
two years of prosperity. He
belitvcs that the new era will
begin with an active busi
ness during the spring mos.,
and thai thebusiness of the
year will be very satisfacto-
'y.
It is the first time since the
panic began tha Mr. Ellyson
has seen daylight's head and
the first time that he hns-Mr
like advising his friends to in
vest their money. But he be
lieves that the danger line
has been crossed and that
the way is now dear.
Those who krio what ex
cellent judgment Mr. Ellyson
has uud who know how eoii
servative he is in all hisstate
ments and predictions, will
take comfort in this word of
encouragement, and we give
it proiniuence because we
huve taith in the mun an'J in
his predictions.

i litre neer was a rime in
the history ol the world when
this warning needed more to
be heeded than now not on

matters po'itcul. And we
say unto you now, beware of

politics in the guise of "re

cry that swept the Democracy
of North Carolina off its feet

David B. Hill. Now e ents

rapidly than we had conceiv

The Monroe doctrine will

hoped in the interest of hu

prosperity of our own land,
that no complications will re

sey.an hour later, mounted
his hors. ban back, and set
out to capture the thief. He
over-t .ioK him four miles from

An Ontsido Oplulon of North Caroliua
Dr. Clark Bell is the editor
of the Medico Legal Journal,
ot Xe.v York. All physicians
and surgeons know who he
is-kr.ow that he is one of the
foremost men in the profes
sion in the country. He will
be remembered in Charlotte
as one of the company of
Northern physicians w h o
made a tour of a part of the
South last year and were
banqueted at the Central ho
teljin this city. Dr. Bell writes
a letter t o a North Caro
lina acquaintance, and from
this letter the Observe! is
permitted to make thefollow
ing extract:
"I regard JCorth Carolina
now as the foremost. State in
the new South. Texas is a
lose second, and Georgia and
Alabama next. I visited last
year every Southern Stab'

ront rank in the future. You
lavenot the marvelous re
sources 01 re.vas, uut vju
iave ten times more than
you use or recognize, and you
ire near market, and the
dood that is at the bottom
if the civilization of North
'a'-olina is as good a n d
sounlasanyin the nation:
ind, what, seems to you lile
i catastrophe, is like the
working ot water at sea and
all will come clear, bright,
beautiful and healthy in due
time."
The allusion in the final
claus is to the existing polit
ical conditions.
