II is now definitely settled that the

the Linden Grove club, Of Brooklyn,
Will include Wheeling in its trip TO the
west next March. Manager Karpf has
written to the local bowlers to that ef-
feet. The fasteners will come to
Wheeling from Buffalo direct unless
the effort to secure q series OF games at
Pittsburgh is successful, In which event
The Wheeling games will follow those
on the Smoky city alleys. From
Wheeling the BrooklynH will proceed
west, taking In Cincinnati, Chicago and
Milwaukee.
II a Pittsburgh team cannot be in
duced TO go against the champions on
the alleys there, II has been proposed
that a Wheeling team 20 up and oppose
them. Harry Davis, OF the Pittsburgh

sltiOn. The Wheeling team that Will

A No-Monopoly City.

To the Editor of The Evening Star.
In connection with the Pingree plan
herewith submit suggestion. If fully car
ried out 1t will finally do more to increase
the prosperity of our poor than has re-
suited from any plan ever yet undertaken.
Almsgiving constitutes no part Of it; 1t is
based on the well-known fact that involun-
tary poverty arises because its victims are,
by reason of conditions arising out of ex-
listing laws, barred from access to oppor-
tunities to produce wealth, or are COM
PEELED to yield to others without just
equivalent large part of what they do
produce. 1t simply consists of opening up
certain opportunities to produce wealth to
those who wish to help themselves, and in
allowing them to produce all they wish,
and to keep for their own use a much
larger part of what they produce than they
are now permitted to retain.
The Arlington reservation, Just across
the river, contains about LOO acres, Of
which only about 200 acres are in use, and
the remaining 900 acres are tangled a will
derness of underbrush. My plan Is substan-
TALLY as follows: The Secretary of War
under his direction the whole area not in
use to be laid off as a city. Permission
then to be granted to any one who so de-
sires to permanently occupy and use, I'M
der proper regulations (such as those in
vogue in most cities) one or more of said
lots upon the payment of a fair (economic)
GROUND rental therefor, to be fixed by
commission on the basis Of demand. All
SUMS received from such rents to be ap-
piled 20 aefraying the expenses of the local
governmentand payment for public improve
ments. No local tax, license fee, fee to
any public officer, or water rent, to be pay
able. The local government to retain full
control Of all public places, and to lay all

conduits. :ramways or other fixtures at
tached to the soil, and supply all water,
gas, electricity, telephone, and street car
service, or else to contract with private
awarded for short periods to those who,
after due advertisement and competitive
bidding offer, under proper guarantee, to
render service or supply commodity at the
lowest price. The new city to be con-
nected, of course, with Washington. by
good bridge and rapid transit service.
Under this simple plan thousands Of our
unemployed would be Immediately given
employment at good wages, and thriving
city would spring into existence Exemp-
ton from taxation would attract thousands
of residents. Home seekers would not have
to pay a great price for a lot, nor would
they have to pay enhanced prices on ma
terials with which to build, due to local
taxation, or a tax on house and lot after
it was secured but merely ground rent.
A poor man who did not wish to work for
others could engage in some enterprise on
his own account without having first to pay
license Fee It would be good place
for rich man to die in, as his widow and
children would not be mulcted of a per-
sonal property tax when his will was pro-
bated; nor would merchants and others be
compelled to swear to the customary lies
on this account, and would thereby retain
some self respect and cash that they now
forfeit. Work would be plenty and wages
higher than anywhere else, and the gen.
eral prosperity resulting from these facts
would make the city a most desirable place
from every point of NERVOUSNESS, social,
moral, etc. Amid such environment intel
ligence and honesty would develop, crime
would abate. and the evils that spring from
poverty would, to a large extent, disappear.
Let the city be built, and name it for
prosperity NO MONOPOLY.

stationed at Brownsville, with my regiment,
md an entry, made long after the close
OF our civil war. on September IS, 1885,
stating that there had arrived per steamer
mat day, lot of pontoons and wagons
This confirmed us in the belief that the
mass1ng OF troops at that point was for the
purpose of invading Mexico for the purpose
OF driving out Macmillan and his French
FORCES No other construction could be
placed on the arrival of those pontoons for
the Rio Grande was the only water into
which they could be placed.
This demonstration no doubt had a great
deal to do with the collapse of the imperial
bubble. The movement on the part of our
government was quietly made but it meant
business. and but for the withdrawal of the
French troops and the abandonment of the
imperial scheme corps after corps of our
trained soldiers would have swarmed over
Mexican soil to drive the invading French
into the gulf.
We are better prepared, both in our army
ard our available army material, to sup
port the Monroe doctrine by force now than
We were then, and 1t will not be safe for
foreign governments to presume too much
on Uncle Sans mild way of protesting, for
such protests are not made in a spirit of
bravado, nor idly, and disregard of them
will no doubt be the occasion of such an
other gathering of the armed forces Of the
country as was begun for the benefit of
Macmillan and his invading forces.

FOrcfble Maintenance of the Monroe
Doctrine.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The paragraph in your issue of recent
date, from an English paper, stating that
the United States never asserted the Mon
roe doctrine in any way other than by cor
Iespondence, and concluding that it never
would be supported by force of arms, re-
calls an event which came under my per-
sonal observation.
The effort of the archduke of Austria,
Macmillan, to establish an empire in Mex
leo and suppiant the republican form of
government in that country. is historical
event Of too recent occurrence and too
well known to require more than mere men,
ton here. 1t will be remembered that about
the close Of 1861 Spain, France and Eng
land sent troops to Vera Cruz to enforce the
settlement Of certain claims. The British
troops withdrawn: but the French troops
remained, and formed the nucleus of the
army. which, with Macmillan Of Austria
at its head, undertook to establish heredi-
tary monarchy. Macmillan arrived at the
City of Mexico June r. 1864.
To this effort to imperialize Mexico, and
the occupation of the country by French
troops, our government, then harassed by
peated remonstrances. The close of our
civil war found the imperialists making
successful advances; and when, early in
1865. the United States troops. stationed on
the lSldHO OIL brdZOS u6 santiago, near tne
mouth Of the Rio Grande, moved inland to
Brownsville, Tex, Matamoras was occupied
by the imperial troops, while the surround
ing country was secuted by detachments of
troops of the Mexican republic.
Then commenced the gathering of a
United States army on the Rio Grande.
The twenty-fifth army corps. under Gen.
Weitzel, and other troops filed the availa-
BILE camping grounds In and around Browns
vile, and were being deployed along the
Rio Grande.

painted from an original transcript of the
Houden bust
This picture should never have been al
lowed to leave this country Gas I fear it
did, 1t was, as well as 1 now recall 1t,
about five feet by seven, and to my girlish
eyes was the ideal of an opulent country
gentleman's home. The ladies' dresses were
the handsome colonial dresses of that day.
Washington's and Lafayette's are too well
known to need a description.
For me this picture still hangs on the
walls of memory's chamber. and in this day
of sons and daughters Of American revo-
luton" picture of this kind would serve
to kindle anew and keep steadily burning
the flame of patriotism on the altar Of our
country.
