THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

1t is confidently expected that the ulti-
matum sent to England by Secretary Olney
on the Venezuelan question will finally
decide the existence of the Monroe doctrine.
That widely talked OF instrument has
been much interpreted and little understood
1t is generally supposed to be mortgage OF

by the United States and to be foreclosed

collect a debt or to take possession of terri

into trouble, and in consequence Uncle Sam
is kept busy warning Europe that he has

United States except real estate and per-
sonal property, which, however, must not
be interfered with.
When Great Britain has time to fully
masticate the diplomatic pill Secretary
Olney has administered she viii find it
an extremely bitter dose. But, in order
not to make her swallow il all at once, he
has given it in two parts, OF which she
she can take her choice. Secretary Olney
declares it TO be the belief of this govern
ment that Great Britain is attempting to
seize territory on the American continent
to which she has no legal right, and lays
the question before her in the following
propositions:
First-Ir the quarrel with Venezuela
Is an ordinary boundary dispute, having It's
origin in faulty description, imperfect
surveys or other misu rsi3ndinGs,
refusal 10 arbitrdte the same is contrary TO
presidents set by Great Eritain herself
ard contrary 10 the practice OK all CIVILIZED
nations.
Second-If, on the other hand, as appears
to be the case, and as is the belief OF the
President OF the United States, the dispute
rs to the location of boundary line is a
mere disguise under which Great Brit ain
Is attempting by superior force to extend
her territorial possessions in America,
this is directly violative OF the Monroe
doctrine, and will never be submitted to
by the United States
The question now for Great Britain TO
consider is whether it shall be a Dun

Meantime we are finding out that the
Monroe doctrine is a species of trust
deed on everything in sight but Canada,
for which we neither give nor receive au

MODERN JOURNALISM

The growth of The Times circulation
indicates that The public is quick TO COM
prehend that it is better to read the latest
news twice a day than to subscribe for
the old-fashioncd daily aud get it only
once in every twenty-four hours. The
novelty of having half of a newspaper
delivered in the morning before break
fast and the other half after work is over.
in the evening is proving extremely popu
lar. Each half OF The Times delivered in
this way contains the latest news up TO
the moment of going to press, and none
of it is over twelve hours old.
The Times also publishes a Sunday
edition that is complete and interesting.
In addition TO its special matter, ii fur
nishes the news, foreign, dom este and
local, up to 3 O'Clock Sunday morning.
and is therefore much more desirable than
a newspaper that has only six editions
week. For so cents month, or 2-3 cents
day, The Times Will supply readers
with morning and evening edition of
eight pages each and a mammoth Sunday
edition of twenty pages. No other news
paper in the world ever offered SO much
news for so little money.

TERNED DOWN,

The people of South Washington have
gotten cold conf from the Commits
sioners IN the matter of the garbage
crematory. They have been politely, but
none the less decisively, informed that
their protest amounts to nothing, and if
that does not suit them they can go 10
court and try their luck at law.
Perhaps they will do so, perhaps nSt;
because litigation of this sort is quite an
expensive luxury. But they viii proba bly,
reason, as they have set forth in their
remonstrance, that the crematory would
deteriorate the value of their property,
and that 1t is worth the while to make an
effort to prevent this.
1t would seem that in arriving at their
decision the Com missioners have consulted
the convenience of the contractor rather
than the property interests and com fort
of the people of South Washington. Yet
one would think that it matters far less
to have the contractors carts go some
what longer distance than to injure the
property values OF whole section Of the
city. The decision of the Com missioners
is the more unfortunate because, as The
Times recently pointed out, South Wash
ington has been heretofore and under the
different forms of local government
treated in a sort of step-m otherly fashion.
In spite of all assurances given by the
Com missioners that the cremat0ry will
not prove a nuisance, either to the health
or the comfort OF the people in that
neighbOrhood, there is a strong suspicion
that they are entirely too confident on
this point. At any rate. as The Times has
already suggested, there are plenty To-
calities on the confines of the District
where the objections to this establish
mrnt would be reduced to a minimum.

REAL PATRIOTISM.

In concluding his reply to the welcom-
Ing address of the Hon. John W. Douglass
yesterday Mayor Warwick said: "God
grant that this bell may be the means of
bringing Georgia nearer to Pennsylvania
and Pennsylvania nearer to Georgia and
South Carolina" This was evidently.
an eloquent paragraph from his Atlanta
address, or the sentiment would have been
made to apply to the North and South in
stead of to oPennsylvaniaa and Georgia.
The word liberty" connected with the
old bell that announced the birth of great
nation. always awakens patriotic thoughts
and inspires a feeling that as people we
have much to be thankful for. Compared
70 the rest of the world we not only
enjoy great freedom through our excellent
form of government, but are also more
abundantly blessed with natural re-
sources,. which should give each industrious

person a comfortable living. 1t viii require
patience and good Judgment, however, To
prepare the way for all TO prosper, and
instead OF trying TO bring States nearer to
each other, as indicated by Mayor Warwick,
we should unite in leveliDg social conditions
and in bringing our abundance within the
reach of the struggling masses. That.
should be the popular, patriotic sentiment.
Time and business enterprise viii bring
both States and communities nearer to
each other. 1t requires no liberty bell TO
ring the way TO closer trade relations when
there is wealth in sight and mines and Tor
ests to conquer. The hum of factory wheels
and the cblnk of dollars are more potent In
establishing friendship between opposing
sections than the sweetest note of freedom
that ever greeted the down-trodden, for
money, money, is the ruling power. 1t is
that power which grasps our opportunities
and puts off the masses wiuhthe crumbs that
are left, and to find a way To more nearly
equalize conditions should be the subject
OF our patriotic efforts.
More equal conditions would result in
more general prosperity. Therefore we
should endeavor to bring the extremes
OF society nearer to each other instead of
troubling ourselves about the different
States. The more general this desideratum
becomes, the sooner 1t viii be brought about,
and the text OF every liberty bell sentiment
after this should be the ringing out of the
extremes of society and the bringing within

valdemar Paulovitch. young Russian.
who was recently at a Buffalo hotel, told
an Express reporter some interesting facts
about Gustav Jovanovitch, vino owns more
dogs and fleas than any other man in the
world. Jovanovitch is the cattle king of
the Russian steppes.
He OWLS over l, 500 900 sheep, and that
is why he has SO many dogs. They re all
OF the shepherd breed. and number above
$4,000. Jovanovitch's sheep and dogs
have descended to him from his forcfathers
and. needless to say, he is Immensely rich.
The dogs are all intelligent creatures,
though OF hundred breeds, and all perform
their offices as faithfully as the most petted
shepherd dog of the New York farms.
You can imagine that it costs great
deal of money to feed such number uf
| animals" said Mr.. Paulovitch. They are
well kept and fed, else they would be forced
to turn on their flocks. Juvanoyitch has
great barn-like structures for the dogs
shelter, and scores of men to care for them.
Great care of the brutes' health is taken,
| and dog rarely goes mad. The millionaire
sheep-owner buys dog biscuit by the ton
| in France toguard gainst dstemper. Fleas,
| of course. are a necessity among such
great number of dogs, though sulphur baths
are provided for their eXtcHnination.
1.-The fleas, however. not only pay the
expenses of the baths, but put quite a bit
of money into the pockets of the dog
| keepers. In st. Petersburg there Is great
| demand among the wealthy for performing
| fleas, but only the biggest and most in
| teiligent are fitted for the work. OF course,
| among 80, 600 dogs one has great choice
OF fleas, and Markovitch, the head dog
| keeper. has a corner on the performing
| flea, market.
"rhe big. muscular, well-groomed and
| intelligent ricas which he sends to the capital
| are taught to perform little tricks. They
dance too. and have heard that one flea,
which could skip aspidcr web rope was sold
| to one OF the court ladies for 1000 rubles.
| Performing fleas, once taken from natures
| home become very delicate and have to be
| housed and fed with the greatest care.
1.-The Gear once went to visit Jovanovitcb
| at his great house on the steppes, and joked
with him about his dogs asking III he was
acquainted with all of them. For answer
| the sheepman led him to the door and blew
| a blast on his bunting horn. Then from the
| long matched kennels that were spread
| for n quarter of mile around there aruse
| a howl in unison from each of the 10000
dogs, ard before it had died out 10000
| feet were flying over the ground in the
| direction of Joyanovitch and his royal
master.
..When they reached the place all lay
down obediently, so that the ground was
covered with a mat of dogs for great
distance. Come, your majesty said
Jovanovitch, the ground is damp, but my
dogs have made you n carpet And the

FOR A BETTER SEWER SYSTEM


The executive committee of the Board of
Trade has been prompt in calling the at
tention of the Commissioners to the in,
crease of typhoid fever in certain sections of
the city, ard the apparent Necessity of a
better sewer system. The Times has on
several occasions insisted that the subject
should be thoroughly investigated. But
there are economical as well as sanitary
reasons for urging that this question be
handled with prudence, and the Commits
sioners should be careful how they make
recommendations for improving streets and
increasing our sew er capacity.
The growth ard extension of Washing
ion demands better sewage system. This
is conceded by all classes of citizens. 1t is
necessary to preserve the health and W ell
Deing of tie public, and after carefully as
ccrtaining how far such an Improvement
can go without entering into the scIem.-s
Of spectators the Commissioners should
act accordingly. During the last Congress,
when the District bond bill for street and
sewer improvements was up for discussion,
the impression prevailed that about half
the amount demanded was for the improve
mcnt of private property. If the then
current rumor is true such an attempt to
divert public funds to private uses should
be prevented, and for that reason the sub
iect of a bond lean should be thoroughly
ventilated
The entire community will unite in in
dorsing all legitimate improvements in
Washington. They not only make property
more valuable and improve its appearance,
but they better the condition of the public.
