THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The Monroe doctrine is a ques-
tion not to be decided by appeals
to "patriotism" or "Americanism," J"
but by the decision of experts. It
is gratifying to us to find that the
Star in its former utterances on
this subject is in line with all the
leading international lawyers of
the country. Professors Won
Hoist and McMaster, who have de-
voted their lives to the study of
our history and institutions, whose
works are generally accepted as
authoritative, Professor Moore, of
Columbia, Professor Theodore S.
Woolsey, of Yale, and Professor
McVane, of Harvard, who occupy
chairs of. international law, hold
that President Cleveland's con-
struction of the Monroe doctrine
is exceedingly forced. OF course
the president and congress can
make it anything they please.
But whether 1t is wise for our gov
ernment to take position which
makes it responsible for the inter
national complications Of the
South American republics is
matter to be very thoroughly dis
cussed in all its bearings. The
hasty action of the house, and the
unwillinruess of the senate to
shift responsibility from the presi-
dent, may result in our committing
ourselves to a construction of the
Monroe doctrine which neither
our past history nor the sober
second judgement of the people
will indorse.
Oar government admits that its
knowledge of the facts touching
the Venezuelan title is imperfect,
and that it is ignorant of the Brit
ish case. In its last analysis, our
complaint is that, on the basis of
the Venezuelan representation,
we believe that England is about
to commit aggression against Ven
ezuela's territory, and that she will
not permit her title to be reviewed
by arbitrators. No one questions
our right TO appoint commission
to determine the rights Of Ven
ezuela upon the basis of all the
facts attainable. That commits
sion migdt have been International
in its composition. But the weak {
point in the presidents message is
that he not only assumes that
Great Britain is wrong and asks {
5or a commission to rectify that :
but threatens England i
With war if the decision of that f
is not acceeded to by v
he British government That t
hreat was entirely uncalled for

Extensive improvements are now going on at the Ensley plant of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railway company. This morning large force of hands will be put to work on No furnace putting in a new bell. This will neeessitate the shutting off of this furnace for few hours. about ten) and while the force is at work at this plant another large force will be engaged in connecting the Nos, and 2 blowing engines, similarly to Nos. and 4. Both jobs arc immense. but the latter Is by far the heavier of the two as the boilermakers and assistants Will be compelled to cut in two large 45 inch cast pipe and make the connection. In making the connection 125 holes will have to be cut in the Hangs of the connecting pipe, which, of itself, Is by no means a small job. It is intended to complete both jobs simultaneously so that the furnace may not be kept idle exceeding the ifI- tended ten hours. II
 No. 2 furnace will also be thorough f1g overhauled at once so as to be put in operation as soon as possible. This work, it is estimated will require about two and a half months. As soon as completed No, will blow in and No. will be given an overhauling

HARD AT WORK.
The Ladies' Committee of the Alabama Es- hbt-Some of the Difficulties With .
 Which They Contend. z

The Birmingham ladies who have been appointed to assist in getting up the Ala-' bama exhibit for the Atlanta exposition, are hard at work and are making pro- gress, but have met with some unfore- seen obstacles. The committee on rules has found that there are many valuable relics in the state, but the owners will not consent to send their relics to the exposton without a guarantee that they wll be returned in safety. The commit tee has not yet found a method of meet ing that objection Somebody certainly should be responsible for the safe and sure return of valuable relics. The la dies of the committee do not feel that they can afford to take this responsible ity, and n fact such could not be ex- pected of them. Perhaps the managers of the exposition should make the guar antee and give the bond. A similar diff culty was eXperenced at the worlds fair The owners of rare objects of vaule, both in this country and in Eu- rope, refused to send them until they were guaranteed ther safe return and in sured against loss. As it turned out, such precaution was very necessary, for a fire broke out during the last days of the fair and destroyed many valuable exhibits.
 The committee on inventions by women has found that before the war there were very few inventions by women, but dur ing and since the war number of inven- tions ! have been patented. Necessity is the mother of invention" The com mittee has written to the patent office to get a list of the inventions by Ala bama women. Some difficulty has been experienced in getting the correct list It has been found that when a woman invented something valuable the patent was taken out in her husbands name. When Sam Jones learns of this he will nave something more to say about ''wfe's agent"

NEW DECATUR.

Colored People Wrought Up Over the Mur-
 der of a Girl.
 New Decatur. July 30.-(Specia1 Corre- spondence.)-The colored population of East Decatur is very much wrought up by the finding of the dead body of woman floating down the river this morning. Her throat had been cut and then she had been thrown in the river.
 The particulars are as follows: This morning MT. Frazier, who was working at the river bank fixing some barges, had his attention called to body float ing near by. He caught 1t and immedi- ately notified the coroner. After the ar- rival of the coroner a short inVeStiga- tion was held, and she proved to be colored girl named Annie McDonnald who was an orphan and had only been living here short time. She had but one relative here, and that was an aunt. She was living with man named Ed Holt who works at night at the Louisville and Nashville shops She did his cooking for him, but was not married. On Friday night there was 0 big colored supper given out in East Town, and Holt did not want her to attend and told her so. Then he went off to his work. It seems she did go, and then next day when he ques- toned her about 1t he found out that she had gone. Nothing more was said about it, but on Sunday she was missing. He left town Monday. Search was im- mediately made for her. Nobody seemed to think of looking near the river for her, and all the search was con- fined to South Town. AS soon as the finding of the body was known her aunt was sent for. When she arrived the body was carried to town to hold an inquest. The colored folks seem very much stirred up, and if the fellow Is caught there will probably be lynching.

The Guardian,s Article.

Manchester, July 91-The Guardian, in Its commercial article says: The demand for manufactured cottons has been any thing but vigorous, and the offers of buyers have mostly been declined. Oc- castonally manufacturers, however, are sufficiently anxious for business to ac- cept orders which under normal condi- tons they would incontinently refuse. while others accept business at loss,
 which Is no greater than would be in cured by allowing their looms to remain Idle. The difficulty in securing satisfac- tory employment for the looms throws gloom over the yarn market, in which

Important Decision by Judge simonton

Asheville. N. C.. July 31.-Judge Charles H. Simonton has handed down a decision in an important case. On the goth of July a warrant was issued by Justice Carter against w. J. Hough of this city, the charge being that MT. Hough had violated section 25 of the revenue act of North Carolina forbidding the sale of pianos and organs within the state without payment of a tax of $250. Tucker & Murphy of Ahseville. repre- sentiHg the w. W. Kimball company of Chicago and other piano and organ com panfes, procured a writ of habeas cor pus from Judge Smonton, returnable at Flat Rock July 24. On that day J. D. Murphy argued the case before Judge Simonton Yesterday the judge sent his decision to United States Clerk Patter- sons office In this the judge holds in favor of the defendant, that section 25 is unconstitutional and void, for the rea- son that 1t is in violation of article 1, section s, of the constitution of the United States, granting to congress ex- elusive right to regulate commerce be- tween the states.

 On August 23, 24, and 25 the Southern Railway company will sell tickets to Bos- ton at rate of one fare for the round trip, or $30S0 from Birmingham, good returning until September 10 with priv ilege of extension, to be good leaving Boston not later than September 30.
 The Knights Templar conclave at Bos- ton is August 26 to 90, and the indications are that the attendance will be greater than at any previous conclaye.
 Boston being the point is quite fac tor, inducing thousands to go who would probably not attend if the Knights had selected some less attractive city.
 On making this trip of course you would select the Southern, as it is the most direct line and affords you better service for the same consideration.
 The Birmingham Knights have decided to use this line and have arranged for a special train to be composed of veStibule sleepers, including Pullman latest im- proved dining car.
 This train, replete with all the latest appliances of luxurious travel, will leave on schedule of the vestibue limited and will contain the Memphis and Birming ham Communicates and their friends. Of course, the tickets sold will be good for passage on regular trains, and those not being able to join the Knights can use one of the double daily trains run with schedule of thirty-six hours.
