The Genuine Monroe Doctrine.

The following is the official and
original text OF what is known as the
Monroe doctrine, taken from Presi-
dent Monroe's message to Congress
on Dec. I'd, 1928:
ave owe it, therefore, to candor
and to the amicable relations exist
ing between 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 existing colonies and de-
tendencies of any European power,
we have not interfered and shall not
interfere. But with the govern
ments who have declared their indie
pendence and maintained it, and
whose independence we have, on
great consideration and on Just
principles, acknowledged, we could
not view any interposition for the
purpose of expressing them, or con-
trolling in any other manner their
destiny, by any European power, in
any other light than as the mani
festation of an unfriendly disposi-
ton towards the United States. y
y y But in regard to these couti-
nents, circumstances are eminently
and conspicuously different. 1t is
impossible that the allied powers
should extend their political system
to any portion of either continent
without endangering our peace and
happiness; nor can any one believe
that our Southern brethren, if left
to themselves, would adopt it OF
their own accord. 1t is equally i'm
possible, therefore, that we should
behold such interposition, in any
form, with indifference"

To the MINING JOURNAL.
note in to-day's issue Of the Cum
berland NeTS a letter from Mr.. Charles
Brown on the decay of the National
road, together with an editorial on the
same subject, both urging that some
thing be done to preserve the road.
This is all very commendable, and
| would like to call attention to Il dan
ger to the thoroughfare which Mr..
Brown seems to have overlooked:
At the west end Of the Narrows,
about mile west of Cumberland,
along a very crooked, narrow and dan
gerous section of the road, at least
one-half of the road-bed is occupied by
private corporation for railroad pur-
poses to the practical exclusion of the
public from this portion Of the road.
On this railroad trains are run at such
a high rate of speed as to be Il constant
menace to persons using the portion
of the road still open to the public.
The right to thus devote public
property to private uses was granted
free of charge some years ago by the
county commissioners, the supposed
guardians of the peoples interests.
Until some effective method Of pre-
venting a recurrence of this sort of
thing, il question naturally arises as to
the ACCESSIBILITY Of investing public
funds i'll Il property which may at any
time pass into private hands, to be
used for private ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, to
the exclusion of the public.
When, therefore, Mr.. Wellington
introduces the proposed bill for the
improvement of the road it should in
clude a clause rigidly excluding all
permanent private structures from the
surface of the road, leaving it free at
all times for the passage Of all classes
of people. CITIZEN.

Not an Exact Science.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, finding fault with San extract from
the Chicago Journal on bad grammar
in the New York and Boston schools, -
says:
Permit me to say there cannot be such a
thing as bad grammar Grammar being
the science of speaking and writing correctly,
a sentence must either be grammaticallv
correct or not; if not correct it is a sentence
with grammar left out.
If the correspondent designs taking
all comparative terms so literally he
will soon strike a snag.
There is bad grammar Just as
there are bad morals worse grammar
just as there are worse morals.
There is bad grammar, too, lust as
there is bad spelling.
Hence, like many other sciences,
grammar is not Of the exact class-a
fact unconsciously attested by the

orate-"a sentence must either be
grammatically correct or gram
matically incorrect.
He would not have contra licted
himself more openly had he written
grammar must be either good or not.
That is, grammar must be either

Council Meeting.

The object Of the call for the special
Wednesday evening was to hear the
protest Of the residents on Gerlach
avenue and the Alley in rear of the
Central hotel against the closing of
the alley to Main street.
Clerk read letter from Attorney
Doub saying that the alley closed was
public property and had always been
such that by deed to Peter Payne it
was stipulated that the alley must
remain open forever"
A delegation of citizens, headed by
William Daily, was present and said
that they had protested vigorously
last Saturday against Mr.. Percy clos
ing the alley. but it had been of no
avail.
Philip Heintz said that he had lived
on Gerlach avenue for ~ years and
alley had always been open.
William Gerlach Lad lived ON same
street for - years and had known the
alley for fl years, and it had never
been closed
Mayor said that, according to the
Attorney, who had made a careful
search Of the records and found that by
deed from j. G. Atkinson to Jeremiah
Welsh, from whom Peter PAYNE
bought the adjoining property, said
deed stipulated that the alley should
remain open forever. 1t was Coun-
ellis duty to protect the rights of all
citizens of the town, and, inasmuch
as the closing of the alley would in
convenience a number of citizens liv-
ing III the rear, he thought the alley
should be opened.
Mr.. Anthony said there were ALWAYS
two sides to u case, and asked the
Mayor-if he considered the alley open
two weeks ago.
Mayor said he did,
Mr.. Anthony said that he did not
for the reason that the alley had been
built over for number of years with
out IA protest, and he thought Council
should proceed slowly in the matter.
Mr.. Ort moved that the Attorney be
instructed to enter proceedings against
the closing of the alley if he is salts
fled that it is being closed contrary tc
law. Carried.

aspiration to be the republican nom
inee for States Attorney, elsewhere
printed, appeals therefore with par
tlcular interest to his patty. Besides,
he Is competent as we'll as deserving.
The committee of the double unit
dismissed theappeal of the ''reguIars. y
And thus the right of the county
authorities to impeach their own
machine and methods was denied.
Outside of Macbeth and, possibly,
Pearre, the only thing that is endan-
gerlng the nomination of A. Algebraic
Doub for States attorney by acclama-
