CHURCH IN SOUTH AFRICA.
The Soldiers Hate TO Turn Out for the
Parade.

The soldiers Hate TO Turn Out for the
Parade.
On a recent Sunday there was a
church parade at which the bishop of
Mashonaland officiated. Church pa
rades are not, and never will be, popular.
There appears to be a prejudice in
grained into the troopers nature
against the institution, and there is
some truth in the saying that the af-
fair lis the cause of more blasphemy
than devotion.
Fall in there for church parade" is
first heard. and then a subdued buzz
runs along the lines, which, if at
tentively analyzed, results in being
found to be a conglomeration of such
expressions as "Where the deuce is
my bayonet belt?'' Course these spurs,
they won't ftI'' and then there is the
long, continuous growl of a string of
oaths from the man who is looking
apoplectic in a struggle to get on a
pair of top boots. don't mean by the
foregoing that men dislike church.
Far from it; but they hate the formali-
ty which is gone through most heartily
In the evening there was voluntary
service in one of the improvised tents
which was well attended, although
ones gravity was sorely tried when
the bishop, whose discourse was rem
dered almost inaudible by the clatter
of plates made by an enterprising
cooIie cook in the near vicinity, sug-
gested that some one should
Tell the gentleman washing the
plates and things that little less noise
would be more edifying. - Diamond

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Monroe doctrine, says the Sar
francisco Post, is a grain of sand in the
British lion's eye. The European
powers understand that the United
States will not brook iterference in the
Braz liam war II there is to be any
outside medding for the purpose Of
restoring peace wewill do it ourselves.
Hands of the American continent
is Uncle Sans order to the mOnarchies.
They don't like it-particulaFly England.
The London Globe sneers at the doc
trine as "preciou-' aud the Pail Mall
Gazette exclaims that it is mot yet
codiied with the laws of nations"
That is true, but should it ever be-
come necessary the United States will
cause it to bs codifed The nation
that attempts to deny the doctrine will
be used as an example that Europe will
not be likely to misunderstood.
England, it seems to us, should be
especially anxious not to bring the
Msnroe doctrine into controversy. So
sure as she should do this seriously it
would be extended like pocket Jeles-
cope, the large end of which would
smlte her forclbly. The existence OF
the colonies and possessions of that
monarchy in north America is tolerated
only because usage has dulled to popular
perception of the imprudence of the
thing. The Monroe doctrine positively
applied would warrant an order from
our gov eminent to Great Britain to
vacate the premises. Let the issue
once be raised in earnest and Canada
will be comuellsd either5to set up for
herself or come into the union. Her
colouial condition is discreditable 20
her people aud offensive to the republi-
can spirit which should have sway
throughout the entire Western Hemis-
phere.
The Monroe doctrine is loaded. Hith-
erto it has had negative force only, but
it would be easy for England to cure
that defect. Let her dispute its vail
dity anywhere, and she will lose every
inch of soil over which her flag now
flies on this side of the world. Spain
would be driven from the West Indies
also.
America for Americans is a doctrine
sound in principle and policy.

CEDINc ARID LANDS.

According to Washington dispatch
dated Feb. 6. Senator Carey, of Wyom-
ing, has introduced bill providing for
the donation of 100000 acres of arid
lands by the government tc each state
IN which such lands are situated, the
state to reclaim the lands and put them
into the hands of actual settlers, as
under the homestead laws. He believes
that limited cession is better than
giving the state the whole acreage, as it
will prevent waste. The lands accord
ing to Mr.. Carey's bill are to be reclaim
ed within six years, and that not more
than 100000 acres are TO be set over TO
the states in any one year. All lands,
exclusive of timber aud mineral lands,
which will not without irrigation,
produce some agricultural crop, shall
be deemed arid lands under the provi-
sion of the bill.
The states affected by this bill are
Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Montana,
California, Oregon, Washington, North
Dakota, South Dakota, and the terri
tories of Arizona, Utah and New Mex

LOCAL INTERESTS

When President Cleveland urged
upon congressman an unselfish subOrdi-
nation of personal desires to the great
British interests bound up in the
expected tariff reform, saying that:
The loca! interests affected by the
proposed reform are so numerous and
so varied that If all are iDsIs:ed upon.
the legislation embodying the reform
must inevitably fail,
But few realized how numerous and
how varied are the local interests that
the Wilson bill will injure or destroy.
The authors of the bill, stunned by the
injury their ignorant compliance with
this mandate had occasioned, began to
hedge, and made notifications in the il
terest of starving laborers, the framer of
the measure, Mr.. Wilson, even soliciting
more protection, for barley aud barley
malt, when the time expired for discus
sion of the bill in committee.
A close inspection of the bill as re-
ported shows that there is no locality in
the United States that ii is not proposed
to injure; that there Is no locality in
which any material industry, except that
Of false swearing by importers, is to be
advanced. The benefits of the proposed
legislation go principally to Great
Britain. This is so apparent that not

EX-SPEAKER REED probably never
made a better or stronger speech than
that with which he closed the republi-
can side of the debate on the Cleveland
tariff bill, but it was impossible to
stop the democrats of the house in their
headlong rush toward ruin and destruc-
tion. But there are millions Of in
telligent people IL this country who will
appreciate and heed the mastery array
of calm and insurmountable even if they
did fall uuheeded upon the ears OF men,
many of whom voted for the atrocious
measure against their honest convic-
tions, knowing that it would inJIre
those who had sent them to congress.
Some of these men voted for the bill
simply becsuse they lacked the courage
to do otherwise, but not few of them
did so for a mess of pottage in the shape
of a few Offices for their personal fol-
lowers. The tariff bill is now in the sen
ate, where there is hope of making
material alterations in. if OF of defeat
ing it outright.
