An APPROACHING CRISIS.

Recent advices state that unless
Nicaragua pays the indemnity de-
manded by Great Britain the latter
will soon begin offensive operations
at Corinto This is a matter which
ought to receive the close scrutiny
and jealous attention Of the United
States.
We have no desire to see a partisan
issue made of the honor of our coun-
try, or call in question the integrity,
patriotism or Americanism of Presi-
dent Cleveland. The state depart
ment during his present term has been
very unfortunate in the impression
it's diplomacy has produced at home
and abroad, and in the case of Hawaii
the latest developments indicate that
it was most grossly deceived. For
the course of Secretary Gresham the
democratic party may disclaim re-
sponsibility, since, when Cleveland
was elected, it was generally expect
ed that the members or his cabinet, at
least, would be democratic. An OPP
10 hOW dhOIOSd ULS SOCIO-
tary of State to redeem his errors and
gain the cordial support Of the Amer
lean people.
Let Gresham announce to Great
Britain in the most unmistakable
terms that the United States will not
allow British bondholders to collect
their bloodmoney with British can
non; that the rights of the weakest
American republic must be respected,
as we'll as that of her most powerful
sister, and that Corinto must not be
made second Alexander or Nicara-
qua a second Egypt.
The United States can no more safe
ly remain Indifferent to a British at
tack on Nicaragua than it could to the
French invasion of Mexico. Unless it
exerts itself to preserve Nicaragua
from the fate of Egypt the admins
tration of Grover Cleveland will be
regarded in the future as that of
James Buchanan is to-day.

Success in raising the earliest vegetables or
flowers depends in great measure on plant
ing seeds grown in our own climate here in
New England; having become acc1imated to
soils and seasons, they are far better for
us to plant than seeds obtained from the
Southern or Middle States. New England
seeds have implanted in them that same rug
ged, hardy constitution which has so charac
terized the sons and daughters of New Eng
land from the first landing of the pilgrims to
the present day.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.
From President Monroe's Message, Dec 2
1928.

| From President Monroe's Message, Dec. 2
1928
| In the wars of the European pow
| ers, in matters relating to themselves,
we have never taken any part, nor
does it comport with our policy so to
do. 1t is only when our rights are in
vaded, or seriously menaced, that we
resent injuries or make preparation
for our defence. With the movements
in this hemisphere we are of neces-
sity, more Immediately connected,
and by causes which must be obvious
to all enlightened and impartial OBJ
servers. The political system of tn e
allied powers is essentially different,
in this respect, from that of America.
This difference proceeds from that
which exists in their respective gov
ernments. And to the defence of our
own, which has been achieved by the
loss of so much blood and treasure,
and matured by the wisdom of their
most enlightened citizens, and under
which we have enjoyed unexampled
felicity, this whole nation is devoted.
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to
the amicable relations existing be-
tween the United States and those
powers, to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part
to extend their system to any portion
of this hemisphere as dangerous to
our peace and safety. With the ex-
listing colonies or dependencies Of any
European power we have not inter-
fered, and shall not interfere. But
with the governments who have de-
clared their independence and main
tanned it, and whose independence
we have, on just consideration, and
on just principles, acknowledged,
we could not view any interposition
for the purpose of expressing them,
or controlling, in any manner, their
destiny by any European power in
any other light than as the manifesta
ton of an unfriendly disposition to-
wards the United Satates.

keep her miserly millions growing
bigger, like rolling snowball-has it's
counterpart among men. There are

object in life seems to be to dodge
their taxes. Instead of enjoying the
money which fortune has given them,
or doing good with it, they are in a
state of perpetual whine about the
petty income tax.
