Leave Him to Flock Alone.

Mr.. Conkling's proclaimed purpose
to Eight till the snow comes" shows
what an utter sham his letter ofresigna-
tion was. In that mock heroic epistle,
speaking for himself and his tag, he
said: "With renewed attachment to
the great State whose interests and
honor are dear to us, we hold it re-
spectful ard becoming to make room
for those who may correct all the errors
we have made, and interpret Alright all
the duties we have misconceived. In
stead of "making room," he now pro-
poses to hold the fort "till the snow
flies." The remnant Of Republicans
that he has saved from the subservient
majority of last winter may have some
thing to say about this. 1t would be n
fitting finale to the farce to leave the
doughty boss to fight, as Dundreary's
bird tlocked, call alone by his own
boston Herald.

WHIf.SUNDAY TOMORROW.
How Whitsuntide Originated and
How IL is Observed.

Tomorrow will be Whit-Sunday,
considered one of the most important
days in the ecclesiastical year by those
churches which see fit to observe the
important events in the history of the
early church. 1t commentaries the
descent of the Holy Spirit upon the
Apostles who were gathered at Jeru-
salem, and always falls on the seventh
Sunday or tittieth day after Easter. 1t
derives its English name from the
white garments which in ancient times
were worn at this season by all newly
baptized catechumens to whom the sac.
rament was administered on the vigil OF
PentecOst. The name of Whitsunside,
comprehends the entire octave or week
which follows Pentecost Sunday, but is
most strict in its application toSundav,
Monday and Tuesday Of that week. In
Germany it is called Ptingsten, and in
many places he three days are kept as
festival days. Its origin is Jewish,
and by the Jews it was called Pente-
cost, because it was observed on the
tiftieth day after the feast of unleaven-
ed bread, the fifteenth day of the month
Nisau, and next day after the feast
of the Passover. Being celebrated
seven weeks after the Passover it also
obtained the name of the Feast of
Weeks. 1t was also considered in
later times as commemorating the Civ
ing of the law on Mount Sinai accord
ing to the construction put upon EX
odus XIX. The narrative of the descent
OF the fiery tongues upon the Apostles
on the same day, as given in Acts H.,
has caused its observance to be con-
tiuued among Christians. Nearly
nineteen hundred years ago the eleven
apostles to whom Christ had delivered
the command, "Go yo and teach all
men," We're gathered together with one
accord in one place, anxiously awaiting
the manifestation of the spirit.
In olden times, in England, there
was held on Whit-Sunday, what was
called "Whitsun-ale, which consisted
in u meeting ofhouseholders with their
families at the church, after service, to
partake Of a feast provided by lhe
church wardens, at which the young
danced and played games, while the
seniors quafted their ale, and chatted
and looked on the sports of the young
folks. In the days before the poor were
by rates a collection was
made on this occasion, usually fourd
sufficient to provide for them. The
"Whitsun-ale" has now degenerated,
where it exists at all, into a merry-
making at barn.

ment that such enterprises did not come

trine.
A writer of great force in the Savan-
nah News suggests that if the United
States should adopt the views Of Mr..
Blaine and the committee Of Congress
they would find it difficult to maintain
them against the opposition of England.
He contends that Panama is not with
in the control of the United States, but
of Great Britain. In proof of which he
points to the fact that Great Britain
has at Halifax strong military and
naval depot; ut Bermuda, south Of it,
a similar depot; at Jamaica, in the
caribbean sea, another, and at the
Belize, Honduras, another. With
these she commands every pass from
the Atlantic into the Gulf of Mexico,
and in consequence holds check on

st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande. The
navy of Great Britain is far superior to
our own, and she could effectually shut
up any efforts on our part to protect a
port in the isthmus.
If the United States had possession,
of Cuba, she could then dictate terms tc
all other nations, as far rs the ports O.
this continent are concerned. Blu
without this key to the Gulf Of Mexi
co, it would be futile for our govern
ment to attempt to dictate to Europea +
nations as to their action in Southern

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Mobile EcgiStor.1

Probably there has never been po-
litical apothegm which was received
with more favor than that of Mr.. Mon
roe when he said in his message to con.
gress, in 1928, that 'swe ,(the people OF
the United States) should consider any
powers to extend their political system
to any part of this hemisphere as dan
gerous to our peace and safety"
This declaration forms whaU is usual
ly denominated the Monroe doctrine,
and it has at all times had strong hold
upon the people of the United States,
and has been recently invoked by
American statesmen for the purpose of
affecting the scheme of Isthmus trans
portation across the narrow neck which
connects North and South America
Secretary Blaine has rung the changes
upon this doctrine OF sixty years ago,
and the congress of the United States
in its popular branch has applied it to
subjects altogether foreign to its origin
al intention.
The Monroe doctrine had reference
simply to the "poltical systems' of
Europe, and was intended to have it's
effect in the establ ishment of republi-
can institutions in the countries of the
new world, as in opposition to the
monarchical institutions of Europe. /,
certainly had no reference to tho points
to which M. Jlloioo ,,,l H.. ,,,..:.,
committee of congress before him has
so fngeniousiy applied it, namely, the
construction of a canal across the 18TH

After the Mexican war the Clayton-
fsuiwer convention admitted a joint
guarantee of the Nicaraguan lanac-
scneme, and virtually, surrendered
any claim on the part of the United
States to separate protectorato of the

MONROE As A MARKET.
TMorehouse Clarion1

One of the most difficult subjects that
the Bastrop merchant ever endeavors
to unravel is the cause thatleads More
house buyers-retail buyers-to seek
Monroe as market. We wish it dis
understood that we entertain
no animosity toward that burg-city.
Many are the eulogies that we have
written and spoken about Monroe. 1t
is lovely town. =: Age makes but few
changes in its appearance. "Time
deals gently'' with it. Iii retains its
present t'sticking qualities" it will be
as large a thousand years hence as it is
now. But Monroe is magnetic town
city. 1t draws on MOrehouse retail
purchasers like loadstone on good
steel. It attracts-fetches the More
house rhino. 1t is persuasive town.
It asks the s'boys'' of this parish to
ssput up' or to ssshell down." and ''the
thing is did," An article bought in
Monroe is darling treasure to a
Morehouse buyer. It is the boomingist
town-city-that we have ever stayed
all night in. Hence, as we said in the
outset, the cause that tolls off the trade
that naturally belongs to Bastrop to
Monroe is a very delicate question to
breach. Expostulate with More
house buyer upon the absurdity of for
saking his own town in order to pre-
vent Monroe from dying and that buyer
right then and there scratches you
down on his memorandum book as his
deadly enemy. Not only that, but he
will tell you to go "where their worm
dieth not" etc.
The shop-keepers in the town-city
l-of Monroe have "done gone" and go,
very heavy piece of "dead wood' or
the retail buyers ofthis parish. A mar
paid twelve dollars for a barrel of foul
in Monroe recently and spent abou
two days in getting it to his home il
Morehouse. The same quality o
wheat dust would not have cost hin
more than ten and half dollars il
this growing town-not city. Yet tina
same man would not have exchanged
his -four for five barrels of the newest
whitest, anciest flour that BastroL
merchant ever saw-outside of the burg
-city-of Monroe. We heard a high.
~ colored "gemmen" ask Bastrop
merchant last week how much meat
fifty cents would buy. "Three and
six-sevenths pounds said the dealer.
allow much is dat pound?" "Four-
teen cents" go, I kin git meat in
MonEoe at ten and a half cents" And
away(o Monroe, or some other place
where the third commandment is dis
regarded, the Morehouse darkey went
We venture the assertion that he go
deservediy swindled whe rever h
went.
| But that's neither here nor there
Monroe is II daisy town. It's a flu,
large market. 1t has the capacity t.
hoodwink lots of buyers in this town
If there is any balancing of books j.,
the mysterious future, Monroe, as a
market, may fall in the column of 8
heavy debtor to Morehousc buyers
We say il may!
