THE T1ONROE DOCTRINE.

There is such a difference of
opinion among newspaper writer's
the exact scope Of the
Monroe doctrine that the following
impartial, clear and authoritative
statement, by the we'll known
historian of America, Prof. John
B. McMaster, will be read with
interest:
q. 1t must be remembered, in
the first place, that the declaration
on which Monroe, in 1928, consul
ted his cabinet and his two
predecessors, Jefferson and Madi-
son, related to the meddling of the
powers of Europe in the affairs of
American states.
?. That the kind of meddling
then declared against was such as
tended to control the political
affairs of American powers, or
was designed to extend to the new
world the political systems and
institutions of the old.
s. That the declaration did not
mark out any course of conduct
to be pursued, but merely asserted
that the interposition of the kind
mentioned would be considered as
dangerous to our peace and safety
and a manifestation of an unfriendly
disposition toward the United
States.
4. That tins doctrine has never
been inGorsed by any resolution
or act of congress, but still remains
the declaration of a president and
his cabinet.
5. Nevertheless, it was and is
an eminently proper and patriotic
doctrine, and as such has been
Endorsed by the people Of the
United States, and needs no other
sanction. The people, not con-
gress, rule this country. 1t is not
of the smallest consequence,
therefore, whether congress ever

DR.. M. Mellin, of Grand Rapids,
Wisconsin, can cure rheumatism.
That is a settled fact as hundreds
Of his patients will testify. To
accommodate his increasing prac-
tice he has established himself at
the Central House, Grand Rapids,
where he has furnished rooms in
readiness to accommodate those
who wish TO be treated. Just stop
and think Of it, rheumatism to be
cured. The statements Of few Of
his patients are before you, and
their testimony cannot be disputed.
The doctor does not claim to be
a wizard, but he does claim he can
cure this disease, which has
bafAed the skill of all the promi-

His discovery is known only to
himself, and is worth untold wealth

It is now known that the Lj0er is the
most important as well as the largest
organ in the body. The L&Ueg trans
forms digested food into pure, rich blood.
The LjCer acts as a filter, removing all
impurities from the blood.
The Licer secretes bile, which assists
in digestion, destroys disease germs, re-

Liver diseases are caused by over eat

has or ever does indorse the
doctrine, which very httingly bears
the name of the first president to
announce it.
6. The Monroe doctrine is
simple and plain statement that
the people of the United States
oppose tie creation Of European
dominion on American soil; that
they oppose the transfer of the
political powers, and that any
attempt to do these things will be
regarded as dangerous to our
peace and safety.
What the remedy should be for
such interposition by European
powers the doctrine does not
pretend to state. But this much
is certain, that, when the people OF
the United States consider any
thing dangerous to their peace
and safety they will do as other
IdllOllS W, diiQ, IL iCNOSSdI
defend their peace and safety with
force of arms.
7. The doctrine does not con-
template forcible Intervention by
the United States in any legitimate
contest, but it will not permit any
such contest to result in the
increase of European power or
influence on this continent, nor in
the overthrow of an existing
government, nor in the establish
ment of a protectorate over it
nor in the exercise Of any direct
control over its policy or institu-
tons. Further than this the
doctrine does not 60.

purchasing fertilizers and applying

done so by judicious rotation OF

costly, must be applied.

The fact that Russia stands

Two Sides 10 Free Telephones.

John VanIIecke, of Merrill, has
the following to say about the free
telephones tie Wisconsin Tele-
phone Company offer to put in:
EDITOR News: 1t seems that
the Wisconsin Telephone company
is making contracts, oral or
written, with our people for the
use of its telephones for a year in
which a certain monthly rental is
named but that the company at
once issues a receipt for the pay
ment of the rent in full and the
person to whom it is delivered
very naturally believes that relieves
him from the payment of the rent
and that he is getting the use Of
the telephone without paying any
thing for the same.
1t may be the intention Of the
company not to attempt to collect
the rent but suppose that at the
end Of the year it should bring
suit under its contracts for the
years rent let us see in what
position the defendant would be.
The company could prove its
contract and truthfully show it
had never received any Of the
rent; the defendant could not take
the stand and testify he had ever
paid the rent or any part of the
could simply offer the receipt in
evidence but in the absence Of any
sworn testimony in his favor to
the effect that he had in fact paid
the money he could not expect to
overcome the testimony Of the
other side.
Since it is true in our state that
where one contracts a debt of a
definite amount and his creditor
voluntarily accepts sum less
than the full amount in full pay
ment and satisfaction that the
creditor can still, notwithstanding
such voluntary acceptance, recover
the difference between the amount
of the debt and the amount so
accepted and that such acceptance
does not constitute a defense it
would certainly seem to follow
that where a contract is entered
into, whether oral or written, in
which certain rental is named
that the debt cannot be wiped out
except by payment in full and that
the company is not barred from
collecting by reason of having
given the recei pit
1t is hardly to be presumed that
the telephone company is anxious
to furnish the use of its instru-
nents free of charge and that
presumption would operate in its
favor in an action for the rent.
Who can afford to take the
chances? Yours Truly,

SANDY SOILS.

VI all the SOILS TO De cultivated
or to be restored, none are prefer
able to the light sandy soils By
their porousness free access is
given to the powerful effects of air;
they are naturally in that state to
which drainage and subsoil plow
ing are reducing the SITTER lands
of England. Manure may as well
be thrown into the water as on
land underlaid by water
Drain this, and no matter if the
upper soil be almost quicllsand,
manure will convert it into fertile,
arabic land.
The thin covering Of mould,
scarcely an inch in thickness, the
product ola century, may be i'm
itated and produced in a short
time by studying the laws Of its
foundation.
1t is a we'll recognized fact that
next to temperature the water sup
ply is the most important factor in
the product of a crop.
Light sandy soils give good
crops in seasons Of plentiful and
we'll distributed rains, or when
skillfully irrigated. But insuffic-
lent moisture in a soil is an evil
that no supplies of plant food can
neutralize. Sandy soils are rich
in mineral constituents and fail to
give good crops in time of drought
only on account Of their inability
to retain moisture.
This can be obviated by the ap-
plication Of peat or clay or the
sowing Of clover-all of these en-
able it to retain moisture in times
Of drought-and the decay Of
vegetable substances in the soil
gives off earbonic acid, powerful
solvent in the soil. Peat contains
as much nitrogen as barnyard
manure, but as it is dug out the
nitrogen is locked up by acids in
insoluble combinations and applied
to the land in this condition
brings in sorrel, coarse and un-
nutritious grasses; composing it
with an alkali to neutrallze the
acid causes the peat to heat and
then ferment, renders it soluble and
fit for food for plants at cost Of
two cents a pound for nitrogen. If
the land is in condition to bear
clover it is easily brought to a
state to produce any crop, and if
not in condition it can be readily
made so at tri1ing cost for fer
telization.
A crop Of three tons of clover
contains the following constituents,
IFS pounds alkali, 2IO pounds
alkaline earths, IS pounds phos-
phorus acid, I27 pounds nitrogen,
Soils are not exhausted when it
is seen the power a suitable crop
has to liberate and convert the
insoluble substances existing in
the soil and store them in the plant
for future use. The clover should
be cut for fodder the first year, the
second year cut it once for fodder,
then allow it to grow again and go
to seed, which save for future use
and there is left in the clover roots
in the soil to the depth of one inch
.o7 pounds alkali, 202 pounds al
kaline earths, Il pounds phos-
phoric acid, 80 pounds nitrogen,

The Republicans DO not exactly
love Cleveland for the enemies he
has made, but they do like him
for the friends he has lost in his
own party.
Our seacoast Notifications are
somewhat defective, but in the
event Of a war with England she
would not be allowed to get with
in shooting distance Of them.
Speaker Reed has arranged the
House committees according to
the theory that his chances for the
Presidency can best be promoted
by putting the best men in the
best places.
The Cubans are evidently
determined to win recognition
from the United States by a
desperate effort, or lose everything
in the attempt; and the chances
arc that they will not fail.
Secretary CarlisIe's financial
forecasts have been so utterly
unreliable in the past that he will
find few to believe him at this late
stage in the Democratic game.
He is one of "the babes and
sucklings" of Free Trade finance.
The United States Lad but a
small navy in 1872, but the havoc
it created among the ships Of the
Mistress of the Sea was simply
phenomenal. The history of the
American victories on the ocean
during the war reads like
romance.
President-making has had no.
thing to do with the Dingley
tariff bill. 1t is neither a Reed
nor a Mckinley measure, but is a
revenue device strictly No
particular Presidential aspirant will
be helped or hurt by the passage
Of this bill.
Secretary Carlisle says that "no
surplus revenue, however large,
could extricate us from our present
difficulties, or give assurance of
safety in the future" Why on
earth, then, was there SO much
fuss and bother about that Tariff
for revenue only?"
The promptness in which the
House of Representatives passed
the tariff and bond bills the past
week is gratifying to the people.
The Republicans are usually united
on any line of action which they
deem best for the people. Notice
how divided the Democrats are?
The President could get no help
from his own party.
The general unanimity of opin-
ion among congressman that a
bill must be passed, to provide
additional revenue for the Govern
mcnt, is encouraging. 1t begins
to look like the good old days Of
Protection when tariff for dehci-
cncy only was an unknown
quantity. Then there was revenue
enough, and some to spare for
paying off the National debt
We have been waiting for a
ringing message from the Presi-
dent on the subject of Protection
for the United States. If Mr..
Cleveland is willing to fight John
Bull on behalf Of the Nenezuelans,
why not on our own account? If
he objects to John Bulls invasion
there, why not object to his in
vasion here, at home, in our own
markets? If there is to be a lock-
out Of Mr.. Bull from Venezuela,
why not also from the United
Stateso
No Administration ever got
more prompt and intelligent aid
from Congress of the opposite
partisan faith than the Cleveland
Administration is offered by the
Republican majority of the House
of Representatives now. The
Democratic taunt that this was to
be do-nothing Congress is
knocked ont bv the ReDuhIican
