THE AMERICAN IDEA.

James Monroe, the fifth President of the
United States, was the eminent figure In sew
eral prominent National events which carry
his name into the roll of the Immortals. He
made the Louisiana purchase from France
for fifteen million dollars, secured the ces-
sion of Florida from Spain and the Missouri
compromise prohibiting slavery above the
line of 36' 80, recognized the independence
of the Mexican Republic and promulgated
the American Idea that "Any attempt of
the powers of the Old World to interfere
with the affairs Of the New would be dan
gerous to our peace and safety. This lat
ter was accepted as part of the unwritten
law of the Republic, and, has stood without
question until the inception Of tire De Les
seps canal scheme. The furtherance of this
has led TO a twice affirmed utterance by
President Hayes IN executive messages that
the principles Of the Monroe Doctrine were
q part of the fundamental law of this Re-
public and would be adhered to. The canal
scheme and the, vigorous attempts of the
projectors to enlist European sympathy and
money inthe enterprise has ut last called forth
expression from the House Committee on
Foreign Relations and the tone is Is decided
as it is American. The Monroe Doctrine is
avowed In its broadest limits and In language
that cannot be misunderstood as the will
and determination of the United States, and
the determination being made applicable to
an enterprise which foreign governments
have held was no encroachment on the Mon
roe principle is ample notice to ell the world
that no European acquisition Of power will
hereafter be tolerated on this continent.
While Ii IL not In the nature of menace TO
Great Britain, IL will not make England feel
any more confident In Its possessions In the
North, and will be taken as an intimation by
Canada that IN the fullness of time her an

rial integrity Of the doctrine. Spain, France
aud Russia have already yielded their fruit
age to this American harvest of Continental
unity, and England may see. inir the ineyita-
BILE results the future has In store. So far "a
the Isthmus Canal scheme Is concerned,

THOMAS CARLYLE.

This noted British author, born in Scot
land, December 4, 1906, died in London, Sat
urday, February 5. For several months his
state of health has been a cause of anxiety
to friends, and his death has not been unex-
pected. Mr.. Carlyle was educated at Amman
and Edinburg and commenced his work at ID
years of age as assistant as a school teacher
of Edward Irving, at Kirkcaldy, but did not
remain long. He did not fancy the teachings
of his fathers kirk, and hence declined be-
coming minister, for whichhe had been ed
ucated. Leaving Edinburg he became tu-
tor in private family, and while so engaged
mastered the German language and litera-
ture, then returned to Edinburg and entered
upon his chosen profession, that of "writer
of books" For several years his time was
devoted wholly to the work. Unable at first
to induce publishers to take his writings for
publication, he persisted in adding to them,
and getting them before the readers of the
day by means OF the magazines. His essays
were always sought for, his biographical
sketches of prominence which gave them
place in the encyclopedia of his own land
The literary works of Carlyle may be said
to have closed with the history of Frederick
the Great the concluding volumes of which
appeared IN 1864. During the American
civil war he was open in avowing his belief
in the overthrow of the Republic. In. the
Franco-Prussian war his sympathies were
with Germany. The works of this wonder
full man comprise thirty large volumes, in
Guiding essays, biographies and all forms of
literature. Carlyle's accomplishment as an
essayist is indisputed. His claim to the
highest place can be called in question by no
one, unless it be Macaulay. A saying APP
piled to Benjamin. Franklin might be well
used in speaking of the early life of Car
lyle. He said that Franklin "taught the
American people how, by frugality and la
Dor, man may buffet the waves of fortune
and swim straight to prosperity and sue
cess"

THE ELECTORAL COUNT.
Garfield and Arthur Declared Ell ected

In the House of Representatives on Thurs
day the Senators appeared and the vice.
President was seated on the right of Speaker
Randall. The joint assembly was called to
order in due form and the duty Of the assem-
bly, to count the electoral votes announced.
Tellers were appointed and the certificate of
Alabama read, showing the vote for Hancock
and English. Arkansas followed, and Rea-
gan moved to dispense with formal reading,
which was agreed to. California showed six
votes for Hancock and one for Garfield.
Georgia being reached, the certificate showed
that on December the eleven votes of Geor-
gia were cast for Hancock and English. The
vote of Georgia being cast on a day other
than that appointed by Congress for casting
such votes, the vice President said that under
the language of the concurrent resolution
the vote of Georgia would not be recorded
until 1t appeared the counting or emitting of
the vote of that State would change the re-
suit of the election. The count proceeded
and Thurman announced the whole number
of electors voting was 800, of which ma
jority would be 1856. If the votes of Georgia
were counted the result would be: For Gar
field, PA; Hancock, 155. If not counted the
result would be: Garfield, 2l4; Hancock,
IA. Iu either event James A. Garfield has
received majority of the whole number of
electoral votes. The same statement was
made respecting the vice-President, and the
election of Garfield and Arthur was an-
nounced for the four years beginning March
4, 1881.

THE desperate and despicable means re-
sorted to by the fusion schemers in Butte
to influence legislative action and stife the
expressiopsof the citizen land owners Of the
Upper Deer Lodge valley Is LUMINOSITY ex-
posed In the communication OF w. r.. III.
! Edwards, sq.,spublished to-day. No one
here believed Mr.. Edwards capable of the
/. misrepresentation which he was made to
shoulder by his divisionist friend, and yet,
until this letter, there has been no anthem
tic expose of how the names which the Butte
sheet published with so much parade were
obtained and manipulated. The.tFiek hav-
Ing failed Units purpose IL Is unnecessary to
give IL further attention, and II Is merely
published to vindicate the character Of Mr..
Edwards and show up, especially to the citi-
zens of Butte, the manner In which they
have been duped and deceived by the push
ers all the way through this controversy.

A Town Washed Away

SAN FRANCISCO, February "A dispatch
from Carson, Nevada, says: At $3.50 this af-
ternoon, the dam Of Franktown reservoir
burst. The reservoir was mile long, three
quarters OF mile wide and fifty feet deep.
A few hours before 1t burst the people Of
Franktown moved their household effects
from the town.
1t Is stated that the Virginia and Truckse
Railroad company, apprehensive of danger,
tapped the dam and were drawing off the
water when 1t broke. 1t went all at once
and dozen men were swept away in the
torrent. They escaped by being cast up on
the sides Of ravine. No lives were lost.
The water At the narrow part of the ravine
was 100 feet deep. When the town was
reacl ed the houses went before the flood like
chat. The town was almost totally destroy
ed and nearly mile of railroad track swept
away. Some Of the rails were snapped in
two.

The report of the Pacific Railroad Com
mittee stating that the line of the Northern
Pacific was on March 3, 1878, located in the
extreme north.of Montana and has since
been changed to the south Is purely imagin-
alive. There has not been any change in
the route of the Northern Pacific since Its
location In 1873; 1t has been all the time as
far south Us IL could 20, and there Is now
more asserted probability Of It's being moved
northward than at any previous time. !. The
objects sought In the amendment are right
and proper, but the report shows remarka-
BILE misunderstanding Of the facts by the
comrnittee. The act as originally passed
was blunder; the amendment corrects; IL.
