CARES FOR HER OWN.

Just at present there is much feel ing toward the action ef Great Britain in Venenzuela, and Lo little talk is made of the necessity for enforcement of the Monroe doctrine by the United States. There is no doubt that among the American people there is strong sentiment that to Americans belong the good things Dame Nature has stored away on the western continent, and that European powers must leave them to be garnered by those of Amer ican origin and sympathies.
 Those holding this doctrine in no way condemn Great Britain for reach ing out and aggraudizing herself at every opportunity. In fact they ad- mire that grand course of policy which has planted British colonies in all parts of the world, and has made brilliant careers for Britons on all con- tineuts and in all climes. Americans who want to see the Monroe doctrine enforced admire without end the bold ness and aggression of Great Britain in these matters, and the superb man. ner in which sne cares for her own; they hold that some of these good things she is grasping after for her sons should go to the sons of other races particularly the good things on the American continent.
 Wherever there is a promising min ing region, or a' fertile valley, or a broad forest in which fortunes may be made by enterprise, if within reach ing distance of thelion's paw whether in Alaska Venezuela or Honduras, Britain is ready to reach forth and make it British territory, on which British subjects may thrive, and where Britieh merchants can enjoy exclusive trade. The Monroe doctrine is simply notice that the soil of the two Amer icas is forbidden preserves to John Bull: and the American people will compel the present administration to enforce that doctrine, or they will next year elect an administration which will do so.

STATE AND MuNIcIPAL REVENUES IN
 SONORA

At Hermosillo, tomorrow the tenth of November, there will be held very important conference between Gov crnor Corral and representative mer- chants of Sonora, to consider the question of restoring to the state, and various municipalities therein, the revenues which will be lost byabroga- ton of the power to collect customs duties, which will take effect on the first Of July next.
 It is estimated that the loss of the state by abrogatlon Of the power here tofore exercised will amount Co about a20O,O0O annually The municipality of Hcrmosillo win lose about slo,o0O, Guaymas. s50, ,000 to So0,000, and other municipalities smaller sums annually. The total volume of business done by the houses in Sonora now paying these revenues amounts to about 3s,0o0 coo annually. It is proposed toremburse the state by paying a tax of two per cent upon gross sales by all business houses. and to reimburse the munich paities by d similar levy, varying in extent according Co the loss sustained and the volume Of business done therein. That plan seems the most popular among tue merchants inter ested.
 That some plan must be devised IS agreed on all sides. No doubt the wisdom of Governor Corral and the good sense of the gentlemen he has called into consultation will find a way which will carry them through the difficulty with the least possible friction and inconvenience.

A MOVEMENT is growing along the shore of Lake Superior to create new state out of the northeastern portion of Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and upper peninsula Of Michigan. Com mercially those regions are united in close connection, and are isolated from their political connections. Their segregation politically would pot hurt the three old states and their union would greatly advantage the people of the proposed new state. It would probably be named Superior.

"TO REFORM criminals society has been cuddling them with indetermin- ate sentences, paroles, relaxation Of discipline in prisons, visits by philan- thropists, etc.; and crime has con tinued to increase, not only in volume and in proportion to population, but in appalling liendishness and variety. What is needed is punishment for criminals. The reform" cure has been tried and found wanting. Latent tendency to crime in the individual would be speedily checked with the knowledge that severe punishment would be swift and certain.

IN CASE of war with England the United States will be caught mapping on the lakes. By convention made in lSl7 between the United States and Great Britain, neither power is to keep in commission on those waters more than two or three small gun boats And that is all we have there
 as it is all that Britain has. But the latter power has more shan one hundred light-draGght gunboats which will swarm up the St. Lawrence river, into the lakes, at the first note of a declaration of war. The conven- tion is termiuable on six months notice The United States should give such notice and build navy on the lakes immediately.
