COMMERCE. DEsTROYERs.

In all of our calculations as to the re- suit of a war between this country and Great Britain one of the elements which is regarded as surely to settle the mat ter is the assumed ability of our cruisers and privateers to destroy British com merce. There is another side to that question. Sailing cruisers would be of no use. They would be gobbled up in short order The cruisers must be steam vessels, and the question is how can they be supplied with coal. The New York Herald says;
 "Inasmuch as commerce destroyefs need large quantities of coal, and as the United States cruisers would be unable to get coal anywhere except in our own harbors, many competent students of the problems of naval warfare assert their belief that within sixty days after the beginning of war between the United States and Great Britain the former would not have a single vessel af1oat outside of our own ports.
 Tt is probable that coal will be declared contraband of war and that no ship fly ing the flag of belligerent will be al lowed to take coal on board in neutral port. Such a condition of affairs would close every sea to our cruisers except those adjoining our own coast; and, as Great Britain could probably blockade our chief ports effectually, we should have little chance to destroy much Eng fish commerce"
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-26
. - THE DOCTRINE.

The principle animating both the Mon roe message and the Clay communica- ton is fittingly expressed in the follow ferson. in a letter to President Mon roe on October 24 1923:
 Our first maxim should be never to en- tangle ourselves in the broils of Europe; our second never to suffer Europe to in- termeddle with Cisatlantic affairs"
 This principle was strongly indorsed and emphatically reaffirmed by President Polk, in his annual message on December ?, 1S45. as follows:
 "In the existing circumstances of the world the present is deemed proper occasion to reiterate and reatfirm the principle avowed by MT. Monroe, and to state my cordial concurrence in its wis dom and sound policy. Existing rights of every European nation should be re- spected; but it is due alike to our safety and our interests that it should be distinctly announced to the world as our settled policy that no future Euro pean colony or domination shall, with our consent, be planted or established on any part of the North Atlantic conti- nent."
 Secretary Cass practically reiterated this sentiment in an official communica- tion dated October 21, 1858, in which he said:
 "The United States will not consent to the subjugation of any of the indepen- dent states of this continent to European powers, nor to the exercise Of protee- torate over them, nor to any other direct political influences to control their policy or institutions"
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-26
are so ahhorrent to the moral sense of

are so abhorrent to the moral sense of every person of refined sentiment as to cause him to shudder and turn away from their contemplation with disgust. No blame can be attached to the peniten- tiary officials for this condition of things, because they hire the convcts for the money there is in them, and it is not their business to undertake their refor- nation. The lawmakers of the state are to blame. In the interest of decency and good morals a change in this respect is worth millions. if such a thing can be measured by dollars and cents. But when it is considered that nine out of ten of these youthful criminals will be turned loose at the expiration of their sentences upon society confirmed crimi- nals, and that the arrest, conviction and confinement of every criminal together with the depreciation upon property, costs in every case large sum of money, then 1t is economy to adopt means for their reformation. Whenever the sub- ject of reforming criminals is preached you are told by doubting Thomases that it is all sentimental nonsense and can't be done.
 This idea has been a great stumbling block in the way of progress in this mat ter But what has been done in other portions of the world can be done in Alabama, and it is the experience and observation of men who are engaged in this business that a good proportion of juvenile offenders who have passed through houses of correction have been reformed and made good citizens. The writer begs leave to quote from Colonel Mcclure, superintendent of the house of correction and reformatory at Gatesvile, Tex: "We feel that a great work is being done by separating the youthful criminals from the hardened criminals in the penitentiary. I try to keep track of every boy who has been released from here. We have turned loose since I have been in charge about 436; only seven of that number have again violated the law and are now serving terms in the peniten- tiary" If only one-half of these boys have been reclaimed a great and good work has been accomplished, and money has been saved to the state of Texas.
 If the press will continue to agitate this question and arouse public opinion upon the subject the next legislature will adopt the necessary measures. Nothing was done for the betterment of our convict system until it's enormities were set forth in an article read by pr. Gaston before the State Medical asso- ciation in Mobile, about fourteen years ago, which was discussed by the press of the country, and which aroused public opinion to the necessity of some i'm provement in the system. Let some good man like pr. Gaston take hold of this matter and press 1t upon the notice of the people and they will force the legis- lature to do their duty.

- STRONG DRINK

During the Christmas holidays there has been habit, especially at the south, of setting out strong drink for visitors at our homes. Why so, during what should be sacred season, rather than on other occasions? The practice should be abandoned It teaches our youth habits that may be their ruin. The Me- ridian Herald. ill an elegant Christmas editorial, says:
 Remember it is tie first drink that is responsible for all woes.
 ''rhe old Latin poet, Horace, said. obsta principiis (watch the heginnings) So We say to you this Saturday even dng--watch the beginnings.
 "A little crawfish, not longer than your finger, burrowed into a levee on the banks of the Mississippi river, that for years had restrained it's swelling floods within it's channel and protected the ad- jacent country from inundation. But as the flood rose the next season the water found it's way into the track of the lit- tie crawfish, and gradually softeniDg the earth and flowing back and forth with the waves, percolated through the leVee, and as the flood rose higher and higher the pressure became so great that 1t began to trickle through on the other side Gradually the stream grew larger and bolder. till the power of resis- tance was overcome, and the torrent be- gan to pour through with the velocity and roar of second Niagara, and whole sections of the country were inundated and thousands of dollars worth of prop erty destroyed and scores of people rem dered houseess and homeless.
 ''You can make the application. It was the small beginning of the crawfish. See the first lie, the first oath, the first drink, the first debauch, is the beginning that leads to loss of honor, loss of health. loss of wealth, loss of character, loss Of life loss of soul.'

MORGAN ON THE AWARD.

The speech of Senator Morgan in reply to the attack made upon him by the Brit ish ambassador has been lost sight of in the startling events that so soon fol- lowed it's delivery, but it is proper, now that the war excitement has subsided, to revert to it. On all sides it is pro- nounced to be a, masterly and effective address. It disposes of the claim that congress is in duty bound to vote a lump sum as indemnity for British seal fishers. If we were weak power the Brit ish government would have already ap- peared upon our coast and demanded pay ment at the mouth of the cannon. It hap pens, however, that we are not Nicara- qua and we are not Venezuela. It hap pens also that we have a senator who understands his subject and who has the temerity to face the British lion without fear. Senator Morgan did brave and glorious work in ealing a halt to the de- mand of Great Britain and in dealing with the insolence of the British ambas- sador in the only manner in which such offensive attacks should be met. The press of the country, we are happy to see, are almost a unit in praise of our sen-

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

It is matter of interest that the only two democrats elected to the presidency since the war have been staunch sup porters of the Monroe doctrine. Mir Til- den was no less emphatic in this line than MT. Cleveland is. Ten years ago MT Tilden engaged in a special effort for the strengthening of our sea coast defenses, and large amount of the work that has been done in that line since then may fairly be taken as the indirect result of his agitation of the question: Indianapolis Sentinel.
 The value of the Philadelphia temper ament reveals itself in such time of street car strikes as this. All the rest of the world knows that the lines are tied up, but scores of thousands of paSSen- gers spent the entire night upon the cars, under the impression that they were sim ply moving to their destination a trifle slower than usual.-Washingto News.
 Governor Mckinley hastens to give ex- pression to his approval of the presi- dents action in the Venezuelan matter. Governor Mckinley Is coming on. He may yet reach the point of expressing himself on the silver question.-Louis- vile Courier-Journal.
 Senator Chandler will please keep as quiet as he can with his war whoop and not disturb the proceedings until the proper time arrives. Then he will be mustered in for immediate seevice.- Madison Journal.
 President Cleveland did not fail Co give us one of the catch phrases for which he is famous in his message. This time it Is "enervating paternalism"-a whole vol ume of description of the republican tar if policy in two words.-Albany Journal.
 That perpetual beggar, the National Association of Wool Growers, with a paid lobbyist at its head, is in the field with a demand for a restoration of the duty on wool. It is not probable that anything will come of this effort, for the reason that the wool manufacturers, hav- ing had a taste of the blessings of free wool, will fight any attempt to limit their supply by the reimpostion of the wool duty There is reason to believe that Speaker Reed understands the feeling of the urers-Indianapolis News.
 The republicans may as well recognize the fact that the responsibility is on them They have created deficit, with the aid of the supreme court, by refus- ing to tax the surplus wealth of the country and by the high scale of expen- ditures which they fastened on the conn- try in the day of their power. Bills for raising revenue must originate in the house, and they control that by two thirds It is for them to find a practica- ble way of increasing the revenue for the future.-Louisville Courier Journal.
