From newspaper reports, the leading
candidates for the Republican nomination
for President arr busily drumming up
recruits and moulding sentiment in their
behalf.
Governor Morton's barrel supplies the
necessary impetus TO his boom, and his
paid agents are at work IN all parts OF
the country. His emissaries reported that
Illinois was good fighting ground, as the
state has no candidate of its own, and
no sooner was the announcement made
than the agents @, Allison. Reed. and
Mckinley were rushed into the disputed
territory. and red-hot war prec!pitated. in
which MOrton's barrel played a leading
part.
IL IL openly charged by Reeds friends
that Nci<inley's agents have spent $4,000
in Louisiana and as much more in Texas
10 secure the delegations from those
States. McKinley's agents reply that
Reeds men are spending money freely in
the South.
No report has yet been made from
Georgia. but IL the coiorei brother will
wait and not commit himself too early.
there Will probably be plenty OF sugar
sent here. Georgia has always played a
star part at Republican conventions, and
there IL no reason why she should take
back seat on this occasion.
These agents or presidential drummers
are a modern development. liz Is fair TO
assume that they are paid we'll for their
services. and are provided with the sinews
to carry on their business. We DO not
know what qualifications are required. but
1t is presumed they should have plenty

MOrrison's Chances.
Savannah Newsl

A. present there is a good deal Of talk
among Democratic politicians OF Colonel
William r. Morrison. a member Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. as a
suitable man 10 nominate for President.
In support or Colonel Morrison's cam
didacy it il mentioned that he Is a western
man, and that ne is 50 popular that there
would be no difficulty in getting both
sound money and ee-silyer-coinage
Democrats 10 support him.
Colonel Morrison has been an Office
holder for more than forty years. and
has succeeded admirably in retaining the
respect OF the people in all the positions
he has filled. He is man OF excellent
Judgment. and knows how to keep quiet
when II would not advance his interests

passed his list year. but he shows no
signs If falling. either physically OF mem

But there isn't much II any. probability
that Colonel Morrison will be the Demo-
cratic nominee for President. He mas
been a presidential candidate too long 10
be nominated now. In the convention OF
1850 he received sixty-two votes, and was
talked OF as a possibility In 1851. 1855. and
1902. In the convention in 1892 he received
three votes
IL seems 10 be understood that the talk
OF Morrison is nothing more than an ef-
fort to measure the strength Of the oppo-
sition % the position occupied by the adj
ministrdtion. If that Is what the Morri-
son talk means there isn't any probability
that much more will be heard OF him in
the convention OF 1885 than there was iu
that OF 1899.

his day. II Is on the shelf. he recOg-
nized that fact when he accepted place

The report concerning the Monroe doc
Urine Of the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations consists OF a preamble
and resolution. the preamble is
iolerable summary OF The Monroe doc
trne. The resolution is an intolerable
recital Of that doctrine. We quote the
latter:
THE United States ic8iiirms ana con-
firms The doctrine and principles promul-
gated by President Monroe in his mes
sage Of December ,, l2}. and declares
that it viii assert and maintain the doc
trine and those principles. and viii re-
gard any infringement thereof and par
iicularly any attempt by any European
Power To take or acquire any new or
additional territory on the American Con-
tinent. or any island adjacent thereto,
or any right OF sovereignty OF dominion
In The same. I'm any case o. instance
as 70 which the United States shall
deem such attempt to be dangerous 10
its peace or safety - a. the mani
Hesitation OF All unfriendly disposition to-
ward the United States."
Ihat H. 10 say. we len particular will
regard as the manifestation OF an I'M
friendly disposition any infringement OF
the Monroe doctrine which We may dee m
dangerous 10 our peace and safety. This
is a plain implication that there may be
infringemcnts OF the Monroe doctrine
which we viii not deem dangerous to our
peace and safety. and accordingly will
not regard "a the manifestation OF an
unfrendiy disposition and OF course
Will not resent and. since the resOlu-
ton does not state what heterogeneous
are prohibited and what may be per-
mitted. no policy whatever Is announced,
and the Monroe doctrine vanishes. leav-
ing bshiRd i. nothing but the simple
principle Of which n IL an application.
aud on which ali Independent nations
alike stand. The essence OF the Mon
roe doctrine y that the attempt by
any European Power 10 extend its
territorial possessions i'm this hemisphere
Is in itself dangerous 20 our peace and
safety. The character OF this attempt
10 respects lis bearing Ola our security.
Is determined recorded. proclaimed I'm
the Monroe doctrine. whereof II is the
sum and substance: yet this resolu-
ton declares. IN the name OF the Monroe
doctrine that such an attempt may or
may not bs dangerous 10 our peace and
safetS. and that whether II In OF is not.

COAST DEFENCEs.

IN. venezuelan issue seems 70 have
aroused Congress 10 a realization Of the
fact that the coasi-defence 2. oblem is
"A live one. and there is little or no differ
ence Of opinion IN the body as 20 tho ne
cessity OF increasing our coast protection
or d large scale. and under some COM
prehenslve and systematic pan. The
Senate Committee on Coas, Defences has.
50 TO speak, been taking expert testimony
a. to the cost Of the work, and the out
look for decided and practical action on
the part Of Congress touching this too
long delayed matter appears very favor
able.
The question Of ways and means, how
ever, enters prominently Into the prob
lem, and among the measures proposed
for meeting th&, difficulty Is The Lodge
bill, which is attracting considerable at
ten,ion. This bill provides for creating a
coast-defence fund by issuing } per cent
bonds TO secure loan OF 100000 or
s20.Oo0,Ge in excess Of the estimated cost
Of an adequate system o: coast fortiiica-
tions. The lean would not affect the
gold reserve. seeing that its proceeds
would be kept separate and distinct from
any Other funds IN the Treasury. and
IT has been suggested that st might be
made a genuinely popular loan By re-
duc,ng the lowest denomination OF the
issue 10 so, and providing thai such bonds
may be purchased at all money-order
post-ofices. Should the elaborate system
Of coast defences contemplated be carried
out. much Of the money devoted 10 its
construction would necessarily be expend-
ed in Virginia,
