Hancock has brought suit against Ar
mour & Co. in jefferson county to recover
penalties amounting to $4,000 for viola
ton of the law in selling oleomargarine In
different places throughout the State dur

CLAL SIGNIFICANCE.

Ports tho Isusincss of Exporting tho
Products of tho West.

G1Obe- Democrat, BIT. Louis, MO.
The reception of the Presidents mes
sage demonstrated that the American
people are unit on the Monroe doc
trinc. Between nations no doctrine. no
principle, no action can be upheld ex-
cept by force. Twenty centuries OF
civilization have failed to establish the
golden rule as the basic principle OF
the acts of nations. Thirty days ago
English writer's characterized 1t as the
"nebulous Monroe Doctrine" To-day
dividuality in the unwritten laws be-
tween governments.
A writer in the December number Of
the North American Review says: 1--WE
all know that the development and ex-
pansion OF nationalities follow the
lines of least resistance and are gov
erned by infexible natural laws. Equal
ly well known are the principles which
govern the redistribution Of trade CEN
ters resulting from the opening up OF
new channels of commerce" The same
writer says when the Nicaragua Canal
is opened Europe will be brought to the
very doors of America.
The Monroe Doctrine assures the
Nicaragua Canal. The Nicaragua Canal
will build up Trans-Mississipp Gulf
ports. The total value OF the exports
of tho United States of the United
States is SOB 1892 55. The TRANSMITS
sissippi furnishes of that amount $i4S.-
G43.727. This business will be done by
Gulf ports.
Great Britain is still suffering from
the detection of commerce from the
Cape Route to the Suez Canal. Com
merce follows the line of least expense.
These incontrovertible arguments no
doubt decided the great banking house
of Alexander Brown & Sons to under
take the work of developing the natural
harbor of Arkansas Pass. Texas. AL
ready they have so nearly completed
the work that n festival Of rejoicing on

Washington, ID. G., Jan. 2O.-The
correspondent of the Chicago Record
writes that paper as follows concern
Ing the outlook for Cuban lndcpcnd-
ence:
The secretary Of state has not an.
swcred the resolution of the House OF
Representatives that was passed some
time ago lnqulrlng as to the progress OF
the Cubnn rebellion, for the reason that
he has not yet received such informa-
'lon as would justify favorable re-
port The president is determined to
adhere strictly to the line OF neutrality,
but, ut the same time, he does not wisl
to say or do anything that may be con
strued MS unfricndly or Encouraging
to the patriots who are there endeav-
oring to secure their liberty. In other
words, the revolution is failure,
which Is probably due largely to the
character Of the men who are in 1t.
In the uprising of 1868 many of the
better class Of native Cubans. men of
brains and wealth and responsibility,
openly Joined the rcvolutionists and
aided the cause not only by contribu'
lions of money, but by carrying mus

present outbreak, very few people of
this character have done anything

New York, Jan. 20.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says: General
Merdnez Cnmpos, after surrendering
the supreme command In Cuba to Cen
eTl Marin, made the following indlg-
rant statement to the World. The CEN
scr forbids Its transmission by cable,
and send 1t by messenger to Key
West. General Campos' statement Is
us follows:

citizen. and not the governor general.

The government has removed me and
has done well.
81 feel great resentment, caused by
the conduct of the parties In Cuba. Ma
lions exercise their sovereignty In vari-
Gus ways, but the head should always
rule. The principle of authority should
rise superior to all else.
II have been opposed because, while
may break, yet / never bend. l
have prevented n repetition OF the sad
scenes of the last war, and this mas
bcen tistastcful to the mob.
"The situation is this: Here is n
province, distant from the mother
country, where tlc-political parties, by
the nttit.',ic they are taking. think to
shape the policy of Spain. II they had
not this idea l could speedily show
what the necessities of the situation

But they know that they would

me to shoot seventeen students IAN al

STATE CANAL NO. I.


Its Construction to lie Proceeded With
Through tho Issue Of Water scrip
Denver, Jan. DEMONSTRATION work
on State Canal No. I, Is to be proceeded
with Mt once on the plan devised at
Fridays meeting Of the State Peniten-
tiary commissioners. held In Governor
Mclntlre's Office, by which It was
agreed to Issue water scrip Mt 7 per
cent. interest In payment for assls-
lance In completing the canal. The
proposition put forward by the COM
mlssioners was considered yesterday
by Governor McIntire and Attorney
General Carr, and approved after hav-
Ing been slightly amended.
Acting under the governors In
structlons the attorney general has
written the penItentIary commission
ers, telling them to push the canal
work as soon rs enough Of the water
certificates have been taken up to war
rant the success Of their plans. 1t Is
probable that before the job Is half
finished the remainder OF II will be
taken out of the hands Of the state.
A syndicate OF capitalists now stands
ready to purchase the canal outright,
and In all likelihood the deal will be
closed by the time the next Legislature
meets. OF course the sale would have
TO be provided for by an act OF the
Legislature.
An act passed In 1893 created
board OF control OF the canal, Of
which the governor Is n member. In
providing this body with the means Of
carrying on the work the act Of 1893
carried with II the iIea Of IN issuance
OF certificates Of Indebtedness. The
board was also given charge OF the
canal FROM q point about three miles
west Of the pcnitentinry. while NIL cnst
OF that was left TO the penItentlary
commissioners. This appointment
originated the belief that convict lab
or could not he used on the west side
Of the dividing line. Governor Mcln.
tire and Attorney General Carr have
taken issue with this theory, and
decided that II need not OF necessity
be put Into practice.

United States Consul Seymour. writ
ing from Canton, informs the state de-
partment Of the inauguration OF a wat
ON freight rates between Asiatic anu
American ports by British steamers
reaching the East from New York via
the suez canal. Writing on the It'll Of
September, he said that the Annandale
n ship Of 1000 tons burden. had left
Hong Kong the week before direct for
New York via this route. md that the
Nestor. another large British ship. was
then taking cargo for New York te
10 taken through the canal.
The price per ton charged by these
vessels to New York Is about 80, or lcss
than one-four,h Of what shippers pny
who transport overland from New York
10 the Pacific coast and thence to China
and Japan by any OF the established
Pacific steamship lines. The trip
through the canal on steamers has the
advantage OF consuming only about
half the time taken by sailing vessels,
which are tho vehicles generally en-
ployed for cheap transportation by the
pacific route In making the trip to
China and Japan. Mr. Seymour ex'
presses the opinion that this compe,i'
ton is certain to iniure tho trans-Pa.
