THE IS1HMUS CANAL.

The government of Columbia has
indicated a desire to terminate the
treaty of 1916 with America and to
appeal to the European powers for
guarantee of neutrality and of its own
sovereignty. This is in anticipation
of the construction of the canal.
Secretary Blaine has addressed a note
of instruction to our several II mis-
tiers abroad in which the Monroe
Doctrine is emphatically asserted.
He says that it is the opinion of this
government that it is directly con-
trary to the policy of the United
States to permit the possibility OF
armed vessels of q nation at war
with ourselves passing through the
canal, and that any action taken by
a Congress of European States tend
ing to The assumption of protection
or control of the canal, or the State
of Colombia will be looked upon as
unfriendly. This note is sent as
private instruction, its contents to be
communicated in personal conversa-
ton of the ministers, as al intima-
ton of what might be the result
should the European powers offer to
interfere. 1t does not say in words,
but plainly intimates that the Men
roe Doctrine will be asserted, and
that the United States itself will
guarantee the neutrality of the 18TH
mus without asking or permitting
outside interference.

FALL BEAUTIES.

This is the season when people
who suppose that they are possessed
of poetic taste and feeling pretend
to 90 into ecstasies over beauties of
scenery which they do not see.
Those who fail to notice anything
pleasing in green trees or green
grass, who have morbid appetites for
the disagreeable, wait until the leaves
begin to fall and then imagine they
glorify themselves by admiring
chilly morning, with the atmosphere
full of dry leaves and dust. There
is always a diseased liver in the per-
son who can look at lawn covered
with yellow leaves, and say, show
beautiful" In the majority of cases
it IS only pretense to aesthetic cul-
ture which causes the average indi-
vidual to dilate upon the beauties OF
Autumn. Trees with most of their
leaves gone, and those remaining of
a disagreeably uncertain color, are
not intended to produce pleasant i'm
pressions. They only remind one of
distress or decay. There is reason in
the pleasurable feelings aroused by
looking on trees In the Winter when
the trees are bare, as the man with
practical ideas can then see fire wood
ready for the woodlands ak. In Sum-
mer the bright colors, graceful form
and cool shade are reasons enough
for pleasant contemplation, and in
Spring the anticipation of the pleas
ures of Summer makes nature beau
tiful, but when grass is neither green
nor hay, when trees are neither dead
nor alive--only sick when they are
neither fruit trees nor fire wood, 1t is
we'll to doubt tine sincerity of any
one who gets enthusiastic over the
beauties of the season.
