urroaEs IN TuE MONROE DOCTRINE,

4 moro nlat,rc consideration iii the Houso
Of Representatives OF tho lntcroccantc-catlal
project promises q moro conservative NTH
tutle than was oullncd III Tho Presidents
message and the resolutions reported by tho
Special Committee. At nil oycnts, there Is
how MI evident sentiment in tie House that
1t will be n gr.tuttons pfece Of folly In the
American Govcrnn,ent to throw down tho
gloyc to nll Europe at the bnre suggestion OF
commercial enterprise In one OF tho South
American States. This fact Is attestcd by
the several sets Of Joint resolutions TINT llave
heen introducod touching the subject, and
by tho effort to transfer the jurlsdlctlon over
tho matter from tho Special 1nteroceanic
Canal Committee 10 the regular Committee
oil Foreign Affairs.
1t has been discovered rather late In tho
day that, II tho United States Government
designs to declare war upon any foreign
Government whose cltizens, or any number
Of whose citizens, propose to construct a
canal across tho 1sthmus, then tho first step
toward that extreme position Is to terminate
tile Clayton-Buiwer treaty with Great Britt
niM. BY this treaty compact was formed
between the United States and tho British
Governments, establishing a joint protector
ate over any canal project for connecting the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through any Of
tho South American States, md agreeing
that neither Government should take indie
pendent measures for tho construction
of such canal. II tho bront intcrpre-
tatlon of the Monroe doctrine which
President 11ayes Inns enunciated be correct,
then the Clayton-Bulwer treaty should never
have been made, or, having been madc, 1t
should be terminated in duo form before the
United States Government can fairly assert
an exclusive right to build an interoceanIc
| canal. Mr.. Casey Young's resolutions sug-
gcst another prudent step tint ought to be
taken it tho Government proposes to resist
tic construction of 4 cnnal across the 18TH
1nus by foreign capltal-vlz.: to confer
with tho Governments Of the South Atncrt-
can lsepubltcs relative to tho policy and
measures Tint should be adopted for mutual
protection against political interference
Which European Governments might mako
by means of o canal built by European cap
ltal. Finally, Mr.. Bayne's proposition Is
| timely In so far Us 1t conde mns IN invocation
OF the Monroe doctrine in the Interest Of
| American spectators and deprecates raid
! upon the Public Treasury under the cover Of
patriotic protest against European inter-
ference In American affairs.
In dealing with this lntoroceanfc-canal
project there has been tendency all along
to put the cart before tho horse. The sug-
gostlon Of the Monroe doctrine has been nc
ceptctl as MI Irresistible appeal to American
patriotism. Tho politicians OH both sides
were prompt to display tlloir Willingness TINT

THE PROBABLE EXPECTATION OF GOLD.
The general reader has doubtless failed
to understand tile oft-rercated assertion Of
those who Insist that gold a1Ono shall DO
the lcRa1-tcl.lcr mnney Of the costltry, that
II silver were not coined III tho United
States there would now be III, additional
amount OF gold equal to TINT of tho silver
In tho country. Tho argument IS that the
Government when It purchases silver for
coinage expclltls MI equal stunt ot gold for
the metal. when, II tic Government did not
purchase silver, tile latter would bc sent
ahrond and sold fur gold and tho gold be
brought back; and hence tlto argument that
tho coinage of silver dlsp1uces m equal
anottnt Of gold.
The fallacy of this proposition Is evident
to every one who does not argue this Gucs-
tI0n In 4 circle. These people start out with
tho assertion TINT gold Is the exclusive money
Of commerce.; that nll civilized nations make
their exchanges In gold; tlmt tle United

HULLAH ON EUROPEAN MUSICAL EDUoA- TIoN.-We are so accustomed to think of the Germans as 8 thoroughly musical nation that we should certainly have expected to find the teaching in their elementary schools more effi- cicnt and systematic than (with some sxcep- tions) appears from Dr. Hullah's report to have been the case. At Stuttgart, for in- stance, he found the pupils singing mostly N'by ear" and with little or no idea of reading music from notes; one of the teachers ex- pressed his astonshment at Dr Hullahexpect- ing boys of Il or 12 years of age to read music al all. h nEBavaria the musical education ap- peared 10 be somewhat more thorough, though here singing from notes is generally not begun till after the age of 10--in Dr. Hullah's opin- i,n four or five years too late. At Vienna, with the exception of two normal schools in which music is taught by an eminent Professor, Herr Rudolf W Weinwurm, pr. Hulah found good voices and correct iutOnation, but the singing was entirely by ear, aud the pupils failed altogether in reading a simple passage written for them on the blackboard In Bohe- mia and Saxony, things were littleor no better; but in Berlin the teaching was found generally superior to that In other parts of Germany, while in Hanover again there was no singing from notes. In Switzerland, Holland and Belgium, the music teaching appears to be more thorough-than in other places which Dr. Huliah visited. The general con, clsion arrived at in the report is that the natural musical power of the English is equal to that of the German or any other people, but that its cultivation IS less ext. led. On the Continent, the attendanee of culldren at school is both longer continued and more regular; the amount of teaching force brought to bear on them is greater, and the pupils display more eagerness to learn. In the German normal schools for teachers more attention is given to musical instruction than is the case here, but in the elementary schools the results of the teaching are mostly, to quote the report, .'the poorest conceivable; whereas, in Switzerland, in Holland, and in Belgium such results are in an eminent degree satis- factory" The difference arises fron. the fact that in the latter the reading of music is taught from an early age while in Germany. as already mentioned, singing is mostly taught entirely by ear. Dr. HuIlah thinks 1t possible to place musical education in this country on a level with that of Holland or Belgium. and strongly urges for this end the training of sufficient number of teachers, and the appoint ment of properly qualified musical inspectors. -4he Atsea0am N
