THE .NICAR1GUd CANAL 1N3
 THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

There is always pending, in one House of Congress or the other, a Nicaragua canal bill. It is reported that many of t!.e Senators have de sired to deal conclusively with the Nicaragua canal question before rat ] flying the general arbitration treaty. This country has repeatedly made known to the world its intention to exercise full political control over the proposed Nigaragua canal, as necessary to our international in tegrity and peaceful development. The Nicaragua canal would be for all practical purposes an essential part of our coast line. All parties } in America have adopted the view that the Clayton Bulwer treaty of nearly half a century ago, providing for the joint Anglo-American con- trol of the Nigaragua canal, had sole reference to canal which it was then proposed to build, and could not justly be considered as binding upon . generation then un- born and living under totally difIer- ent conditions Therela6ons of the Nicaragua canal to the Monroe doc urine are of the most essential char acter. We ought not, therefore, to share the political control of the Nicaragua canal with England or with any European powers. Nor could we we'll submit to arbitration with England or any other Euro pean power any question the adverse settlement of which would involve to any extent the denial or the weakening of our position under the Monroe doctrine, as defined not only by earlier statesmen but as de- fined to-day by such statesmen as Secretary OIney or Senator Davis of Minnesota. We can no mere con sent to arbitrate questions which involve the principles of the Monroe doctrine than England could submit to arbitration aay question affect ing the structure of her imperial system. But the signing of the general arbitration treaty has i'm mediately followed Mr. Olney's elab-
 
 crate exposition of the Monroe doc trine, and what seems to be Lord Salisbury's complete ncceptation of Mir. Olney's views. It does not seem likely, therefore, that there can arise any serious mis unders tanding as to the scope 1.-the arbitration scheme. From The Progress of the World, in February Repisso ef Re pteios.

The lrnpatient Politician

An amusing little political incident
occurred on the boat going to Harps-
well the other day. A hard-headed
farmer from Gorham, with great
loads Of good common sense. was
cooling off big red-faced man who
was rather extensively dressed, and
was roundly denouncing the admins
tration because wave of prosperity
had not swept the country at once
upon the Inauguration of President
Mckinley. He was vociferious and
abusive. When the farmer began to
quote such evidences of improved
conditions as have appeared in the
Express, the calamity bowler knew
nothing. They had been promised
good times, and had been cheated.
you don't know what you are
talking about the farmer said in
dignantly. 1.-The subject is entirely
beyond you. You're one of those
sap-headed fellows that revolves in a
mighty small circle. You'd expect
to put setting of eggs under hen
this afternoon and have spring
chickens for breakfast.
All the big chap did was to assert
the possession of more brains than
any farmer in the country, and then
mutter to himself till the listeners

Coffee as a Disinfectant.

The use of coffee as disinfectant
is generally known, but it is doubtful
if the majority of people are aware OF
its true value for that purpose. They
probably know that it is handy and
harmless; but besides these qualities,
it is really one Of the most powerful
and effective agents known, as has
been shown by repeated experiments.
The merest pinch" of coffee is us
ually sufficient to cleanse sick room,
even in aggravated cases. The best
way to employ it is to freshly pound
