never more popular piece of statesman
ship developed in the political history of
the United States than the MONROE doc
trine. which contemplates the prevention
of foreign interference upon this continent,
and its continued enforcement in the mat
ter of a ship canal or ship rail-
way cannot TAIL to secure popu-
lar approval. The scheme to build the
railway across the Tehuantepec 18TH
mus, in Mexico. has several economic rea-
SONS in its favor. Such route is 1000
miles nearer the United States than the
route chosen by De LEssEPs. 1t is in a
climate far healthier, and is in a position
which the cooperation of Mexico and the
United States could make absolutely inn
pregnable in time of war. On the score of
cheapness the railway has also tremendous
advantage over the canal, its estimated
cost being 500. 0O0. 600. while that of the
latter is five times as great, and its entire
praeticability has been amply demonstrated
as against considerable doubt still existing
about the feasibility of canal. The COM
pany will not ask congress to appropriate
any money to aid in the construction OF the
railway. but will simply ask that it be
granted a national charter. and that the
government assume a total liability OF
81, 500. 600, fully guaranteed. The matter
is well worthy the attention of congress,
and particularly the discriminating atten-
ton of the new congressman, who have
not been prejudiced by previous discussions
of the various 9th er schemes.

MINNEsOTA Is DEMOCRATIC,

Like the boy in the dark who whstled
to keep his courage up, the Minneapolis
Tribune is trying to extract consolation
from the recent election figures. 1t says
that if the head of the ticket did come so
near being swamped, the rest of the ticket
pulled through all right and thus it argues
that Minnesota can be relied on as safe for
TO- 900 Republican majority in the future.
Suppose the Republican state ticket, with
the exception of governor. did get a m a.
jority of s. 900 Or 10. 000 is that a satisfac-
tory showing for the Tribunes party? In
a gain of nearly 35, 900 in the voting pOpu-
lation of the state, the foremost candidate
on the Republican state ticket only polls
5, 900 or 5000 more votes than were polled
for the Republican party two years ago;
while the hindmOst candidates on the
Democratic ticket will show Up with
gain of from 20. 600 to %, 900 on the Demo-
cratic vote polled at the same time. Allow
ing for the same increase in the population
of the state and the same rates of gains by
the respective parties, two years hence the
Democrats will have a clear majority of
10 900 on the whole state ticket. There
fore, the GLOBE is justified in asserting
that Minnesota can be set down in the
Democratic column, when making political
calculations for the future.

VLIFYING Villas.

The Republican organs are making q
good deal of unnecessary noise about The
speech that Postmaster General Villas
made at Madison the other day. The post
master-general made a quiet visit to his
home, and while there his neighbOrS turned
out to pay their respects TO their distn-
guishe fellow citizen. As is always the
case when American people get up an ova-
ton. a speech was demanded. In very
quiet and respectable way the postmaster
general responded by telling them what a
good administration the president was
giving the country. He didn't say any
thing that was not true or which any citi-
zen has a right to say. Now the organs
are bowling for the postmaster generals
scalp. alleging that he violated the civil
service rules which the president laid down
for the guidance of public officers. AS the
president issued the civil service order, he
ought to be the judge of what constitutes a
violation of it. If he is satisfied with Mr..
Villas conduct nobody else has right to
kick against it.

kissing Horse and Dog.

Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
A horse about the color of Pittsburg skies
in the old days was standing Oh Smithield
street yesterday afternoon. and many a
passer-by wondered to see the beast curve
MS neck every once in while and allow a
little smoOth-coated terrier to imprint upon
MS nose canine kiss. The dog sat all the
Time at the horses head. If any one came
near the horse the dog showed every tooth
IN his head and snapped viciously. When
George Sallows. the Oakland confectoner,
% whom the horse and dog belonged. came
along, he told the Dispatch reporter all
about this curious friendship. He said
that for many years the horse and dog had
been nseparable. Each night the dog slept
III the horses manger. and by day the two
went together wherever Mr.. Sallow's busl-
ness called him. The dog never allows
anyone but Mr. SallOwS to touch the horse,
and the horse on his SIDE Is prone to take
very summary vengeance with his hoofs on
any dog VINO mOleStS his little friend. If
the circumstances are peaceful and the
wagon stationary, the two ANIMALS will kiss
each other from time to time. Neither
animal is beautiful, but their friendship
makes them So to Mr.. Sallow's eyes.

candidate for the Bulgarian throne. When
Capt. Nabukaff, the Russian who led the
BOurgas revolt, has been formally SEN
fenced to death. he will be transferred to
the custody OF Gen. Kaulbars. The Jour-
nal De St Petersburg says that the Mar
gus OF Salisbury's speech at the lord

MAKES AUSTRIA RESPONSIBLE
for the maintenance Of the peace of the
East. 1t adds:

The German st. Petersburg Gazette says
that the Prince of Mingrelia is the only
possible Russian candidate for the Bulgarian
throne, and thinks his selection would be
sure to be approved by the powers. The

CONGRESSMAN LAwLER.

The metropolitan Republican papers are
disposed to make fun of FRANK LAWYER
the Chicago congressman. who has just
been reelected. The heighth of Mr.. LAW
LER's SHINING is that he is an uneducated
man, and consequently the Republican
organs make his Illteracy the subject of
ridicule. 1t is true that Congressman
LAWYER is no classical scholar, but he is
chOck full of good horse sense, which. after
all, is really more valuable in public life
than literary attainments. While FRANK
LAwLER cannot get off speech with the
rounded sentences and rhetorical fourishes
of Mr.. EvARTs, he generally manages to
vote right and to get in his work in way
to satisfy his constituents. That is some
thing that great many of the more cultured
Republican statesmen fail to 90. Book
crammed statesmen are not always the most
serviceable.

They are telling story over in New

James Gordon Bennett for speculative
purposes not long ago. When George
Gould was married Mr.. Bennett cabed
from Paris to the Herald his personal in
struction to have the pair interviewed.
1t was not assumed for the moment that
young Mrs. Gould was included in that
term. the interviewer taking it for granted
that the Messrs. Gould were meant Ae
cordingly he went to irvington- on-tbe-H ud-
son. met the Wall street king and his son
and interviewed them both. The elder of
the twain. approaching the opportunity
talked not only of the Youngsters courtshin
and marriage but descanted on the condi-
ton OF the stock markets and let out severa,
'feelers" by the way. all of which were
faithfully reproduced in Mr.. Bennett,s ma
per. AS a consequence Western Union
went up. Gould, having more than he
wanted. disposed of considerable of it at q
highly favorable figure and chuckled as he
let the profits drop into his already gold
lined pockets.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Davis said Ia.

You stated in an article concerning ex-Gov.
Davis that ill., be had said he would not vote
for the Apostle Paul if he were running on a
Democratic ticket. There are no ifs about it.
He said it, and three or four hundred of our
citizens heard it, He also spoke In favor of
hight tariff, when nine-tenths OF the people in
this stale, both Republicans and democrats,
are for low tariff, as the Republican platform
will show. How is it that Il bitterly partizan
student of high tariff should be chosen TO rep
resent this state in the SENATE? As an Offset
to the remark that be would not vote for the
Apostle Paul if he were Deniocrat' the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans should
say they would vote for anybody rather than
G. K. Davis. If we must send Republican,
why not have one who will represent our in
terests, and who will not be so bitterly parti-
IAN that he will hate and he hated by those
Democratic senators with whom he must act.

LAC QUI PARLEsS

LAC QUI PARLE'S DISTURBANCE.
A court house controversy can probably
stir up more bad blood in a county than any
other question that can be raised. The
condition of affairs in Lac Qui Parle county
is fair illustration. The question of re-
moving the county seat from the town of
Lac qui Parle to the town of Madison was
submitted to the voters at the late election.
The fight between the towns was a bitter
one, and on the face of the returns Madl-
son won. But the people OF the other
town were not disposed to give it up with
out a further struggle. So the courts were
appealed to and an injunction secured. The
people of Madison were not disposed to
have any judicial f0olishness in the matter.
so thew boldly went to work and smashed
in the walls of the court house at Lac qul
Parle and are carrying off the county
records without the fear Of the law OF OF
judicial writS before their eyes. The gov
ernor has been appealed to for protection
by the county officials, and the sheriff and
county attorney are instructed to see that
the laws are enforced. So far as that is
concerned, it is presumed that the sheriff
and county attorney knew their duty in the
premises without any such specific lHstruc-
tons from the chief executive officer OF the
? state But it is pretty gnarly condition
of affairs up IN Lac qui ParIe. and the re-
suit will be watched with interest.

LoudOu,s Poor.

LONDON, Nov. 12.-The local govern
ment board has made public its reply to the
letter recently addressed to it by the Social
Democratic federation, calling attention to
the alleged enormous increase in the num-
Der of poor and unemployed in London.
The boards reply asserts that in October,
1885, the percentage Of paupers in London
was % to every 1000 of the population.
while in the same month of the year 1868
the percentage was AZ to every 1000, and
argues that these figures prove that if pau
perism does increase in London the govern
ment will be quite able 10 manage it and its
attendant evils. The board promises to as

MISS CLEvELAND,s RETIREMENT.

Mss ROSE ELIZABETH CLEvELAND's
Western career was of remarkably short
duration. A few short months ago she
came to Chicago inspired with bright hopes
iii anticipation of the successful journalistic
career which lay before her. Her dream of
editorial glory is now over and she has
gone away in the pOutS. Miss CLEvE-
LANDS rise and fall in journalism is a use
full lesson for those who contemplate enter
ing the journalistic profession. 1t is con-
firmatiOn of what the GLOBE had occasion
to say when she first entered upon the posi-
ton of editor of Literary Life-that editors
like poets. are born, not made. Miss
CLEVELAND relied too much upon the fact
that she was the sister of her brother. A
presidents sister at the head of a temper
ance society or a sewing machine manufac-
turing company might be a good advertise
ment for The institution over which she pre-
sided. But social station and family posi-
ton do not count in journalistic work.
Here is a field where brains and experience
discount all eXtraneuuS conditions The
ear of Russia might become an editor, yet
the fact that he was ear would not add to
the value OF popularity of the journal he
edited. Another mistake that Miss CLEVE-
LAND seems to have made was that she re-
lied too much on Chicagos generosity.
She went to Chicago with a sort
of notion that she was entitled to
the earth and that Chicago would be will
ing 10 concede it to her, and all unmindful
OF the fact that the Chicago people are
something of terrestrial mOnopolZers them
selves. Everything that man or woman gets
in Chicago is got by hard scutfling. Chicago
is a city that does not pay voluntary homage
to merit or distinction. 1t is place where
the longest pole knocks the persimmon, and
the persimmonS generally hang high. 1t is
not much of surprise therefore, that Miss
CLEVELAND should so soon have been dis
cOuraged in her new field. 1t is evident,
however. from the tone of her letter, pub
lished day or two ago, that she stayed in
Chicago long enough to get some Of the
Western snap. She makes cut at the pub
Usher of Literary Life just as if she was
biting tenpenny nail in two. NOtwith-
standing her failure in Western journalism,
Miss CLEVELAND retires from the profess
sion with the good wishes of her editorial
brethren and the sympathy of the public.
There is all impression on the public mind
that the proprietor of Literary Life
didn't tote fair with Miss CLEVELAND, and
public Judgment will be suspended until her
side of the story is heard in full.

VIOLET,S COLLAPSE.

The announcement that the VIOLET
CAMERON-LOrd LoNsDALE combination
has abandoned its intended tour of the
principal American cities, will give no
OifenSe to the American public. 1t is rather
gratifying that the American people have
succeeded in convincing the malodorous
sprigs of English nobility that they can't
prance around over this country parading
their RIGHTEOUSNESS. The sense of decency
is stronger in the American heart than re-
Spect for titled nobility.
