England and the Monroe Doc

II Is probably true. as the leading
journal Of the Government party in GreaI
Britain says in an article which we else.
where reprint, that at the present time
any canal through the Isthmus OF Darien
whatever route 1t may take and by
whomsoever II may be..made, will be
used when complete, more by British
" shipping than by the vessels Of all other
nations put together, not excluding
q France and the United States" This
would not, however, have been true had
such canal been constructed twenty
Years or SO ago, when q Democratic
President Of the United States contem-
plating the probability Of its construc-
tion gave Lord Palmerston pretty plainly
to understand that the United States
were even then In the mood to put an
end at once to the mischievous and en-
tangling Bulwer- Clayton convention of
1850. In 1850 the merchant marine of
the United States bad overtakeD and
was fast outgrowlng the merchant
marine of Great Britain. 1t is not the
intention of the people of the United
States TO acquiesce in the permanence of
the conditions under which we have since
1850 permitted Great Britain to recover
all or more then all of the ground lost
by her before that date, and it will be
well for those who are charged with
conducting the public affairs of Great
Britain, to bear this in mind in dealing g
with the attitude which has been delib-
erately assumed by the president of the
United States and by Congress upon
this question of the interoceanic canal.
When the London Times declares
that "the Monroe doctrine, even in its
"most restricted shape, has never been
admitted into The law of nations" IL
merely recalls the attention of Ameri-
cans to the fact that England in 1928
made haste to enter her protest against
that particular feature of the Monroe
doctrine which has outlived the political
occasion of Mr.. Monroe's message of
1923, and which has absolutely identi-
fed the Monroe doctrine, In the minds
and in the passions of the American
people, with the assertion of our true
national position in the New World.
The only thing which led intelligent
Americans thirty years ago to tolerate
the ClayLon-Bulwer convention was the
plea made for it by the American nego-
tiators who had blundered in.o the fool
ish concessions out of which it arose,
that 1t involved recognition by Great
Britain Of the Monroe doctrine so far,
at least, as concerned any attempt at
extending the colonial empire of Great
Britain on the shores of Central Ameri-
ca. This plea was blown to the winds
within two years by the conduct of the
British Government In regard to the Bav
Islands, conduct which led Mr.. Marcy,

The Seriousness of the Inter

vices received at the Department of
State from our representatives at Lon
don, Paris, and Berlin, show that these
Governments are watching with close
Interest the action of the United States
with regard to inter-oceanic canals,
from diplomatic standpoint.
1t seems to be the general opinion Of
the Ministers of Foreign sffairs of those
Governments that the assumption by
the United States of the authority te
prevent the construction Of canal by
others than its own citizens is not con-

stances surrounding it, possesses neither
political nor governmental significance.
These facts have been called to tho

A SHORT SESSION AND NO BUSINESS
TRANsA CITED.

SHORT SESSION AND NO BUSINESS
TRANSACTED.
The Board of Education met, last
evening, In regular session, president
Eckel III the chair.
Mr.. Kent from the Committee on
Transfer called up bis resolution, intro
puced on January Goth last, for the CO.
education Of the sexes in the grammar
schools that Is that the Committee on
transfer have authority to fill vacancies
in the grammar schools irrespective of
sex.
In calling up the resolution Mr.. Kent
said that at the last transfer there were
between fifty and sixty seats vacant in
the boys department, and but very few
In the girls. At the present time there
were twenty-seven vacancies in the girls
and forty seven in the boys department
OF the grammar school, and sixty-three
In the high school. He strongly urged
the co-education of the sexes, and in
support of his arguments read an artI-
Gle on the subject from the National
Journal Of Education.
DIR. Grimshaw opposed the resolution
on various grounds, and thought that
the matter bad been "spruDg" on the
Board, and thinking SO, he moved that
the matter lay over until the first meet
ing In July. The motion was lost on
tie vote OF five to FIVE.
Mr.. Kent said he had no desire to
urge the matter, nor spring it upon the
Board, and in order that the members
might have time TO study over the mat
ter, he would move that the matter lay
over until the next regular meeting OF
the Board. The motion was lagreed TO.
On motion of Mr.. Baird the Commit
tee Of No. 2 school were authorised to
have closets made to hold the cloaks
aud hats Of the scholars, at cost not to
exceed $25.
A motion to adjourn was put and car
ried, but before the members had left
their seats, DIR. Grimshaw arose to ad-
dress the chair, but was informed that
action had been taken on the motion.
He replied that "no action had been
taken by a id sight," and then sat
down. The Board, however had ad-
journed.

Invading Me8ic0.

Texas rejoices in the possession of
an ex-General, Dalrymple by name,
who has determined to solve the Mon
roe doctrine. problem, the Mexican
question and several other minor af-
fairs, such as the extension of our ter
ritory and what he magniloquently
calls the Americanization of the whole
continent. Dalrymple is fearfully in
earnest. He has issued circular to
upward Of fifty thousand ex-officers
and soldiers of the late war, calling up
on them to at once organize and pre-
pare for the conquest of the Republic
to the south of us. There is nothing
mean about Dalrymple. When he has
overrun Mexico and robbed it's inhabi-
tants of all they possess he declares
that he will guarantee them represen-
tative government, protect them in all
their rights, and, in fact, be their
''strong man" generally. Dalrymple's
heart bleeds for Mexico. He yearns to
develop her railroads and her railroads
and her mines and her great agricul-
tural resources. He is manifest des-
tiny man in every sense of the word,
Our merchants are losing millions of
dollars annually, he says, owing to our
failure to annex that countay, and, we
presume, all the lands away down to
Cape Horn. He is pained and morti-
fed at the hesitation of the govern
ment to begin the work, and has de-
termined to at once commence opera
tions himself. Abundant rewards are
offered to all his followers, and those
who oppose him are threatened with
death. 1t is to be feared the dashing
Dalrymple will soon be dangling at
the end of United States or a Mexi-
can rope.

Evil Effects Of Cutting Down
Forests.

The evil effects of cutting down the
forests which may be looked for sooner
or later in the United States also, are
rapidly manifesting themselves in Rus
sia. The winters are yearly becoming
colder the summers, on the other hand,
are growing hotter, drier and less fruit
full. This is owing, as is stated by Prof
Livingstone, to the destruction of wood
lands, which formerly abounded in the
southern districts. The drought has
been caused by the clearing of the lands.
This, in turn, created an enormous evap-
grafton. The results are that many
water courses have become swampy
lagoons, while others are entirely dried
up. 1t is beginning to be underslo food by
scientific men everywhere that certain
proportion of timber is necessary to the
material welfare of o continent or a
country.

W. j. Porter, man who bore the
reputation of being hard character,
mas been living at Alma, lmin-
ing camp in Park county, for some
weeks past. This morning he bought
pistol saying he proposed to kill his
partner. Before finding his intended
victim he met Thomas Connolly, a
hard working miner, and provoked a
quarrel and then shot Connolly With
out warning. Porter was arrested and
placed in Jail, but he had been there
less than an hour when fifty of the
leading citizens of the camp came up
and, putting rope around Porter's
neck, hanged him up at the place at
which he was standing, tying the cord
to q projecting beam Of the jail. No
masks were used, and no resistance
was offered to this summary proceed
ing. When the "vigilants'' entered
the Jail Porter drew knife which he
had concealed about his person and
made an effort to defend himself, but
was soon disarmed. At last accounts
his body was still hanging before the
Jail. =.
There have recently been three IA
tai shooting cases in Alma, which is

But there was a long delay, while
the people in the balconies waited
wearily or arose and passed out, and it
was fully midnight before any one was
permitted TO come to the front and
address the noisy and rapidly dispers-
ing crowd.
Before this there had occurred O
grand and thrilling episode. The great
orchestra, under the puissant baton of
Michael Brand, struck up the stirring
old air of Dixie" with its soul-thrill-
ing associations and memories. For a
moment there was a hush. The old
soldiers of the North and the old SOL
diers Of the South looked at each other
and the vast throng was still. But be-
fore the second bar was struck the
emotions Of the gallant Southerners
overcame them, and almost simultane-
ously they sprang to their feet more
than thousandstr ong, and The old
Southern battle-ory made the lofty
arches ring again. Side by side with
them stood the Northern hosts and
cheered with them. Again and again
the men of the South broke forth as
the gay measures woke their euthus-
iasm, and the strains of the orchestra
were fairly drowned by their united
voices. H
A prominent gentleman of Cincin-
natl, and a famous soldier, turned to
Governor Marks, of Tennessee, and
said THAT is the old rebel yell."
"Yes," was the reply, "and now hear

was never Witnessed before. AS the
full orchestra poured forth the grand
old strains Of
"The star-spangled banner,
Oh, long may II wave
Ger the land Of the free s.
And the home OF the brave"
the great organ burst forth in glorious
unison with all its magnificent power.
and the vast audience arose as one man,
and the old Union cheer blended with
the old rebel yell TO the notes of the
national air for the first since the dark
aud bloody years Of the great civil. war.
Men who had faced each other on many
