The ATgonaut puts the matter neatly
when it declares that there is nothing in
the Monroe doctrine that demands of the
United States to maintain sort Of pro-
tectorate over the mewling, puking Cen
trail American States. The doctrine goes
no further than to announce that the
United States will not consent to the
erection of monarchical institutions in
American States, and that their in
dependence shall not be menaced by for
eign aggression. We do not guarantee
that in all their quarrels with Powers
they insult and abuse we will stand their
friend. If that were so, then there should
be reciprocity in the matter, and when
we get into trouble these same States
should come to our assistance on call.

THE CHINESE FIGUREHEAD.

For those who care to understand the
men are used for the purpose of carrying
on hydraulic mining without license,
free of penalty and almost uninterrupt-
edly, we viii explain as follows:
Injunctions do not lie against the prop
erty Chat is, an REM and only those can
be punished for contempt who have been
served with writ, or upon whom can be
fastened an actual knowledge of the in
functions. A gang of Cinnamon are
found hydraulicking; the injunction is
served: but they continue working, in
some cases, until they are caught again.
An affidavit is then made as foundation
for an order to show cause in contempt.
This order is served, and by the time
for hearing these Cinnamon have pulled
up stakes and left the country. SO that,
perhaps, no one is brought into court
In short time another gang is found
operating the same mine. Upon investi-
cation. they deny all knowledge Of the in
functions ('me no sabe'') and the same
course is taken with them. White men
cannot do this successfully, but, by means
of a blind lease, the owners of the mine
can use Cinnamon for the purpose. Some
white men living in the vicinity are
angry that the Cinnamon are permitted
to mine, when the privilege is denied
them, but, the sentiment of the camp is
such that they will not submit to be wit
nesses against the Cinnamon. It is only
recently that the United States Debris
Commission has consented to the bring
ing of criminal proceedings under the
anti-debris law; but this can be done now.
SIS soon as clear case of violation of the
law can be made, in which event the con-
viction or acquittal of the offenders will
rest with San Francisco jury. The COM
mission would prefer case against a
white man, but so far the cards have
been shuff1ed in such way as to always
put Chinaman in his place.

SAYS the InYo ReniStea. .

1t is estimated that electric cars have al
ready displaced 100000 horses. The feed
ing of these horses would entail the consump-
1ion of 100000 bushels of corn or oats day.
The animals are now back on grass, and the
enormous decrease in corn and oats consump p
ton caused by their withdrawal is sufficient
to appreciably affect the price of those grains.
In round figures it amounts to 1So,Ooo,000
bushels year.
Well, what does that proye-thst we
shall abandon electric cars and 60 back
to mule teams? OF course all advance in
rapidity and ease of movement and trans
portation displaces the slower and less
comfortable methods. But. in fact the
rapid car does not lessen the desirable
ness of the horse nor will it for time
lessen the number in use At the FIRST,
during the change of conditions, there is
an apparent abandonment. But the ulti-
mate result will be more employment for
horses, more of them engaged in use,
more people enabled to own them, and
hence greater use for them. It is only a
too costly to be generally owned. Now,
however. with the cheapening of the ami
NAL there will be more owners of horses
and new uses found for the animal. If it
is admitted that his present withdrawal
lessons the demand for the food necessary
for him. there is compensating increase
in other directions by reason of the ra-
pidity Of movement and it's frequency
