The day in Helena, the same year,

But those were breezy days. If it

SWAP OFF THE ANGLO-MANIACS.

There has been held in the City OF
New York an Indignation NEE ting for
the purpose OF protesting against the
course of the president on the Venezue-
Ian question. His position on the Mon
roe doctrine was denounced and declar-
ed un-.American.
Many speeches were made in which
the English side of the matter was
openly asserted and advocated. All of
this was natural. New York has so
long aped and initiated English man
ners and habits hat it is a question as
to where she belongs: on this side of
the Atlantic or the other. In case Of
difficulty between the two countries it
would not be a bad idea to trade off
Manhatten Island: give it to England,
in exchange for some of the British
territory on our northern boundary:say
British Columbia--'ve could we'll afford
to give New York away for the vast
country lying to the north of us. There
is lots of gold and silver, lead. iron and
minerals of all descriptions which
would more than compensate the coutry
for the loss of New York. 1t is true
that this exchange would involve the
loss to America of that wise. patriotic

kind for that valuable political fran

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Judge Speer, OF Butte, has rendered
a decision in which he holds that the
license law, adopted by the last legis-
lative assembly, is unconstitutional.
Should the supreme affirm the decision
of the lower court. an extra session will
be q necessity.
This decision, If upheld by the su-
preme court, will deprive the state of
several hundred thousand dollars an
nually. The revenue collected from Ii
lenses in Madison county is in the
neighborhood of $40. 600, Is per cent OF
which goes to the county and p per
cent to the state. 1t is easy to see what
! a tremendous loss the decision would
mean to Montana.
Should an extra session be held it is
earnestly to be hoped that the rates
will be modified if it is possible so to
do, and not cripple the state financially,
as the present rates are eXhorbitant.
Judge Speer holds that a license for
revenue is a tax, and is unconstitution-
al, and that each county has the power
to impose and collect its county Ii.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
Editor MadisOnian:

Editor M~adisOnfan:
BE good enough to allow me q sufficient

nation as to the origin and present state OF
what is known as the Monroe Doctrine"
The matter has recently came into promi.
hence by reason OF the complications exist
ing between the republic OF Venezuela and
the government Of England, u l believe
that q little more knowledge on the subject
will give a better understanding Of tho po-
sltion OF the United States in respect to the
existing controversy.
The monroe Doctrine has its origin In
the familiar statement OF the Declaration OF
independence THAT all men are born free
and equal, and have the inherent right OF self
government" Thomas Paine, In the
rights of Man" illustrated and demon
strated the truth OF the proposition. He
denounced the 'Dlvine rights OF kings
emperors, sultans n all forms OF inherited
d0spOtic power. He claimed that there was
no power from beyond the clouds or any
where else on the part OF one man or one
family OF men, to govern, control, and reg
ulate the affairs OF men. That this right
rested solely with the people who were the
primary and absolute sovereigns Of them.

CHRISTMAS IN THE EARLY DAYS.

There was a day in Montana when
Christmas bells did not ring out their
glad summons as they are popularity
supposed to do in these later times.
That was back in the Cos. when the
population was comparatively scarce.
But the day wasn't overlooked. The
newspapers of the time, says the Hell
n Independent, only made a brief rec
ord Of the coming of the holiday, for
there was seldom anything of unusual
interest. Indeed, it was announced by
the Montana Post Of Dec, 80, 1895,
which was the first issue after Christ
mas, that the day had been uneventful,
and the following account was given Of
the celebration in Virginia City,
which was then the principal city in
the state:
