senator Davis gave some good reasons
in his speech for standing by the Monroe
doctrine. but he failed to give any for the
ainpilhcation of that doctrine
In the resolution which he Of
fered for the Senate's accep-
lance. And the reason he did not W as
pecause there are none to give. The truth
Is that his resolution instead of making
the Monroe doctrine more definite and
explicit renders it more vague than ever.
IL can be argued that it extends it be-
You'd reasonable limits and it can be ar
gued also that 1t restricts and weakens it.
IL may be that clear definition of the
obligations that the Monroe doctrine i'm.
poses upon this government would be a
good thing. but this resolution is not
that kind of definition, and it ought to
be dropped for uncertainty if for no other
reason.

According to the Hon. Hiram Knowl-
ton more money is now spent in this
town for liquor than ever before How
he knows this he does not oondescend to
inform us. If it be true then it would
seem to follow that in spite of moral
suasion and legal suasion, in spite of
temperance instruction in the schools and
the various other instrumentalities to
arouse people to the evil Of the drink
habit, the consumption of liquor right
here in our midst has been on the in
crease. We believe that Mr. Knowlton is
altogether too pessimistio. We do not
believe he is right, and we do not believe
ne can bring forward any trustworthy
evidence to support his opinion.

1t turns out that the alleged confrma-
ton OF the discovery of the North Pole
that came from Archangel was no CON-
hrmation at ali. The British consul at
that place who was reported to have re-
eeived independent news of the discovery
says that all that came to MIN was the
story that was told at Irkutsk. Repeat
ing a story over two or three times does
not tend to confirm 1T. The rumor in
circulation at Irkutsk is all the founda-
ton there is for the alleged discovery of
the Pole, and it is very Inadequate one.
