OF his days sport in his banda bunch of fine
rock and perch. Monroe is said to have visited
the home OF his childhood during the war OF
1872, and standing Oh the banks of the Poto-
mac presumably at Colonial Beach, saw the
British feet under Admiral Cockburn pass up
the river. With his heart fired by patriotism
he is said then to have first conceived the idea
which he afterward promulgated. and which is
known as the Monroe doctrine.
From where we stood ebou. eight miles in o
direct line was Wakefield, the birthplace of
Washington, and near Port Conway, fifteen
| miles away, Madison was born. His family
| lived In the Piedmont region Of Virginia, but
| his mother was on a visit to friend at the time
OF his birth and the unexpected appearance Of
the future President caused her to stay longer
| than she intended from home.

Monroe homestead and walked to the buggy

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.
How The State is Regarded
Abroad.

Abroad.
The Sacramento Union publish
es the following editorial:
If the people OF the State Of Ne
vada will inquire VIII t the silver
mines Of that State have done in
the way OF permanent improve
ment in the direction OF establish
ing a commonwealth whose foun-
dations ale aid in some enduring
industry, they will find that silver
has done nothing for them what
ever. The millions of dollars
worth of silver bullion produced in
that State have simply left it. and
left it poorer than it was in the be-
ginning Silver production In Ne
vada has built many splendid bu-i-
ness blocks In the City OF San Fran
cisco has created few aristocratic
miillonaries who have resided in
California or in Europe. The
wealth taken from the mines OF
Nevada has net contributed to the
construction OF even a vill.ge,
founded upon permanent indus
tries which would support a block
in any respectable city. The natu-
raj resources Of the State of New
vada far surLass those of Utah.
Thers is vastly more irrigable
land In that State than in the Ter
ritory Of Utah, and yet the latter
Territory has one prospe Gus, per-
manently established city Of So
600 inhabitants, not dependent
upon ephemerous silver mining,
another Of fifteen AMI several OF
five thousand. The permanent
record made by silver mining in
the State of Nevada is found in the
numerous holes aid tunnels In
Mount Davidson and other por-
tons Of the State.
The silver has been taken away
to enrich others communities, and
the millionaires made by its dis.
covery and the owners of the mines
have gone with the silver. They
have not had the grace to leave be-
hind them even the valueless mon
unmet Ct a deserted private man
sion. The State Of Nevada has
produced hundreds OF millions Of |
dollars worth OF metal, All she
has to show for it are the holes In
the ground, from which the metal
was taken. She has been robbed
OF her mineral wealth by men who
spent. or are spending, their for
tunes in other countries. There Is
nowhere within her borders an In
stitutioa Of learning, the bequest
OF any millionaire, made such by
her mines. There is not an art
gallery. library, a piece Of statu-
airy, or single vestige Of any other
form, In which gratitude to a COM
monwealth is sometimes expressed.
The inexhaustible resources Of her
soil have been neglected. Her
other sources Of wealth remain IN.
The capital her mines
created has turned its back upon
her in cold ingratitude and has left
her a supplioant to capital not Gre

AFTER MANY YEARS.
our old SwallOw-tail Turns up
Once More.

On THURSDAY last, me eulGOI VI

poking through his wardrobe in
search of a swallow-tailed coat
which he has had occasional use
for during the past twenty years.
The peg where he expected to find
it was occupied by pepper and

He rummsged all the trunks in

several places by his wife, who

THE BETTER TEACHING.

The eminent French philosopher and
historian, NJ. RENAN, has recently pub
liShed a book that he wrote many wears
ago. to be made public only after his
death. For reasons not now material.
he changed his mind as to the date of
its appearance, and some of his lines of
thought are attracting attention on both
sides Of the water. One OF his express
sions is:
1t cannot be denied tina. Christianity has
done great wrong 10 humanity III repre-
seDting the actual life as a matter OF no mo-
ment, and consequently dissuaoing men
from the idea of improving it, 1t is here be-
low, and not in fantastic heaven, that this
life will be realized.
RENAN is not likely to be accepted as
an orthodox authority, nor will it be adj
mitted that historically. even, is his
language quite justified. 1t was never
the general verify, and much less is it
such in the latter time. Yet 1t can be
remembered by those not very aged
when pessimistic pulpit views of this
life Swallowed it, and individual cases
might be cited where an ascetic and
self-depreciatory spirit was so devel-
oped as TO impair the value of existence
and shape the career into a prolonged
moral distortion. A great change has
come in this country since the words of
the Frenchman could have any consid-
cradle warrant. The dignity and noble
ness of this life is now urged, and the
personality magnified toward its true
measure. 1t is not taught that gloom

DIR. SMITH FOR MAYOR.


They are saying on the street that
there will be noD-partiSan ticket in
the neld at our next municipal election,
and that Rev. SAMUEL G. SMITH will be
at its head as candidate for mayor
The GLOBE hopes that there is some
substance i'll this rumor, and pledges
itself to treat the movement with its
Wonted consideration and energy.
DR.. SMITH has great many qualities
which would count in the chief magis-
tracy of st. Paul. His chief blemish
is his political complexion, for he is
da Republican with mugwumpian tend
encies. But he is a fine and ready pub
lie speaker, who would do the city credit
when delegates from abroad were TO be
welcomed. He is genial and interest
ing companion. He knows a great deal
about great many things. He can tell
a good fellow when he sees one. He is
predetermined, not inclined to be too
severe on the erring, and is liberal in his
views and alert in action. Another
strong point in MS favor is his name.
This city has weakness for men called
SMITH, and if our present mayor refuses
to continue in Office endlessly, from age
to age, it will assist any candidate for
the succession to enter the campaign
with the prestige of his title. People
sometimes ask what is in name, but in
this case there would undoubtedly be a
good deal
If DIR. SMITH should run for this
high position and be elected, the
situation would really have the
merit of beng interesting He has
already enlisted the services of
all our most influential citizens as
a sort of cabinet, and he has a full
list of st. Paul's needs in religion, poll
tics and society properly classified and
catalOgued. He could examine these
from day to day and put them in prac-
teal operation. having first called III
their authors to give him suggestions. If
this seemed desirable. The city would
lack no material for discussion under
such programme. The GLOBE won
ders how he would treat the social evil
problem, the Sunday saloon question,
the Sunday base ball and the Sun
day theater complication, and the
other veXed subjects with which
those in authority have to wres-
tie. He surely would go at them
with courage, ability, directness and
earnestness. But in exactly what chan
nels all these qualities of his would run
is matter of uncertainty. 1t would.
without doubt. be very entertaining to
have a term or so with such a man as
mayor.
