The delegates are apportioned among the
several states, territories and provinces in
the proportion Of four to each electoral
vote, or one to each $50, 600 of population.
AS this arrangement would result in an
actual attendance of not more than ], 300
the representation was raised one-half
which will secure 2, 600 delegates The
delegations will include some of the most
representative Sunday school men and wo-
men of this country and Canada, and sew
eral visitors are expected from England,
Cuba and other points outside the present
territory of the convention. AS some of
the friends Of the temperance cause are
fearful that the present instructions to the
lesson committee adopted at the Pittsburg
convention of 1890 to assign four temper
ance lessons a year in the regular course
may be abrogated or modified it is prob
able that several pronounced temperance
workers will be found on the floor ready to
champion their cause if necessary. So also
the advocates of a more advanced method
of lesson study will probably have some
Representatives, though they viii be in
small minority.

LITERARY NOTES.

The Hawkeye Publishing Co., of Des
Moines, has just issued volume
entitled "The Career of Frank Pierce,
or How Prohibition Prohibits in Iowa. ~
1t gives complete history of Pierce,
introducing Potts and Hamilton, and,
as may be anticipated, it makes very
interesting reading. The work is
profusely illustrated. Considerable
interest has been aroused in the efforts
of Potts to prevent the circulation OF
the work by means of an injunction,
which has been issued, but as the bond
required from Potts has not yet been
filed, the book is still on sale.
Statesmen Three" is the name of a
volume just issued by the Statesman
Publishing Company, New York. The
volume is from the pen of Archie G.
Fisk and is dedicated ''to the victims

MONROE DOCTRINE.
ITS POLITICAL AND CONNER
CIAL SIGNIFICANCE.
The Building OF the Nicaragua Canal
viii Give to Trans Mississippi Gulf
Ports tho Business of Exporting tho
Products of tho West.
Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, Mo.

Globe-Democrat, st. Louis, Mo.
The reception of the Presidents mes
sage demonstrated that the American
people are a unit on the Monroe doc
trine. 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 it as the
"nebulous Monroe Doctrine" To-day
that principle has an entity, an in
dividuality in the unwritten laws be-
tween governments.
A writer in the December number Of
the North American Review says: I'VE
all know that the development and ex-
pansion of nationalities follow the
lines of least resistance and are gov
erned by infleXible natural laws. Equal
ly well known are the principles which
govern the redistribution of trade CEN
tiers 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 Mississippi Gulf
ports. The total value of the exports
of the United States of the United
States is s793, 392,955. The TRANSMITS
sissippi furnishes of that amount $44S,-
643,727. 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 festival of rejoicing on
the occasion Of the Homeseekers' Ex-
cursion, February 18th is being pre-
pared. The railroad fare for the round
trip from any point in the west is only
$500 more than the fare one way. A
steamship ride through the harbor out
into the Gulf, Green Turtle and Can
vass Back Duck Barbecue will be given
to the excursionists. Everybody is in
vited to be present and look over the
new town of Arkansas Pass (whose
motto is Here Everybody Shall Make
Money! and the rich and cheap lands
surrounding that port.
