NOBODY CLAIMED THE PAPER

A Rebuke by General Washington That
 Evidently Frightened the Owner.
 Major William Pierce left behind him partial record of the debates in Philadelphia which supplement- those of Madison, Yates and King; also the following aneedote:
 When the convention first opened at Philadelphia, there were a number of propositions brought forward as great leading principles for the new govern ment to be established for the United States. A copy of these propositions was given to each member, with an injune~ tion to keep everything a profound se- oret One morning, by accident, one of the members dropped his copy of the propositions, which, being luckily pick ed up by General Mif1lin. was presented to General Washington, our president, who put it in his pocket. After the de- bates of the day were over and the ques- tion fer adjournment was called for the general arose from his seat and, preyi- ous to his putting the question, address cd the convention Ill the following man. ner:
 "Gentlemen, l am sorry to find that some one member of this body has been so neglectful of the secrets of the con. vention as to drop in the statehouse a copy of their proceedings, which by ao. oident was picked up and delivered to me this morning. l must entreat gen. tlemen to be more careful lest our transactions get into the newspapers and disturb tho public repose by premature speeulations l know not whose paper it is, but there it is (throwing it down on the table, Let him who owns it take it. :" At the same time he bowed, picked mp his hat and quilted the room with dignity so severe that every person seemed alarmed. For my part, was extremely so, for, putting my hand in my pocket, missed my copy of the same paper, but, advancing up to tho table, my fears soon dissipated. I found it to be the handwriting of another per son. When 1 went to my lodgings at the Indian Queen, found my copy in 8 coat pocket which had pulled off that morning. It is something remarkable that no person ever owned the paper American Historical Review.

A NATION OF BONDHOLDERS.

One of the good effects of the wide distribution of the war loan will un- doubtedly be to bring closer home to the people their interest in the admin istration of the national finances. There are more than 100000 subscrib- lolments of bonds, none of them get ting as much as $500. So far as this loan is concerned there has been no "bcndholding class" created, and that bugaboo of earlier issues is dissipated But there has been created a partner ship between 100000 American fami- lies and the American government, in which the joint interests of the part ners cannot be forgotten or ignored.
 These 100000 holders of the new war bonds, representing in their family re- lations probably more than a million of the inhabitants of the United States, will have a new impulse to make eff fective use of their authority as citi- zens in the government They are likely to vote more carefully to inform themselves on the conduct of public affairs more fully, to make their infiu- ence felt more distinctly in politics. There is no better inspiration to the use of the privileges of citizenship than stake in the country" and this the 100000 subscribers to the war loan have acquired.
 On the other hand the government at Washington has 100000 sharp crit les 1n the new bondholders. It would De reckless administration indeed that should tolerate jobbery in con- tracts for army and navy supplies un- der the scrutiny of 100000 silent part ners in the war business. The gov ernment and the people are. in fact, brought nearer together by the scatter ing of the war loan than would have been the case in the hands of a syndi- cate.

AS TO FORT WHIPPLE.

The reientiun cf Fort Whippla-by reason of certain recent events-has now become a necessity to the goverl- ment. It's proposed abandonment in the first place was a piece Of lnoom- prehensible shortsightedness.
 With judicious expenditure of So0.- GOO Whipple can easily be made the most desirable, the most b. bsautiiul, and the most Important pest in the terri tory. Geographically, it is centrally located, being on the line of the s. F. P. &. F. railroad. Troops stationed at Fort Whipple are available for certain and quick concentration at any point in Arizona or New Mexico.
 Many high military officials at Wash ington are favorably impressed with the strategic situation of Whipple and have expressed themselves as being in favor of rehabilitating the pest and making it a general rendezvous for United States troops. General Otis in his report, dated December 16, 1897, says of Whipple: Tt is the best situ- ated, the healthiest, and the most nec- essary of any of the posts in Arizona D
 The water question, now ready to be practically solved, and the sewerage system for the city of Prescott will eliminate the supposedly unhealthy features which heretofore have been held up as a bad bogie, and made the basis for the removal of the post.
 With Colonel McCord as the new and progressive post commander, Fort Whipple will be rejuvenated and made to assume it's legitimate functions that of being the most important post today in Arizona. Colonel McCord will adopt plan of general improvements, and in the rebuilding of Fort Whipple the colonel simply carries out to it's fulfillment his oft expressed wish while governor of the territory. The new post commander has the opportunity offered him in doing the proper thing at Whipple to earn the lasting grati- tude of our people and his memory will be held second only to that of General George Crook, the military idol of the people of northern Arizona. However, when all has been said and done: Whipple re-established, rebuilt and enlarged; our water works and sew craze system an accomplished fact, let us not forget the one man behind it all-Hon. Frank M. Murphy.-Pick and Drill.

CONFUSED IDEAS ON A VERY SIM
 PILE MATTER.

Coldwin Smiths sudden and curious solicitude about the future of the Mcn- roe doctrine IS not shared, we observe, by the New York Evening Post. That journal is not at all in love with the Monroe doctrine, and would be reioiced to see and hear the last cf it. But the Evening Post is so far of Goldwin Smiths mind that it thinks we cannot keep up our ''No Tresspassing!" sign in this hemisphere if we annex any territory in the other It says:
 The position we are in as regards the Monroe doctrine is that we can pre- serve it in as healthy condition as it was in before we entered into war with Spain, or we can knock it into frag- ments by permanently holding some part of Spain's possessions in the old world. :. But if we retain any part, however small, of the Philippines as permanent possession, we abandon the ever, and, in our opinion, it will be good riddance.
 What is it that will be abandoned" and knocked into fragments" if we acquire and hold coaling station in Asiatic waters. As the Kent professor of law in Yale university has pointed out, as Lord Salisbury reminded Mr. Olney, the Monroe doctrine is not now and never was a part nf international law. It is simply an impressive an- nouncement of national policy-a no- tice to all concerned of what will hap pen in certain contingency Our pres ident Monroe told the absolutist em- perors and kings confederated in the holy alliance Gmpiously so-called) that we were not going to meddle with their existing colonies or dependencies on this side of the world, but that any attempt on their part to meddle over here or to "extend their sys- tenn in any portion of this hemisphere would be resented as manifesting an unfriendly disposition toward us, and menacing our peace and safety.
 That is all there was to the Monroe doctrine, as promulgated by its nomi- nal author, in the year 1923. It was notice that no trespassing would be permitted. It had no sanction except the fighting weight of the United States of America. The only great European power not affected by it is the only one that has formally recog- nized the reasonableness of it-and England's acquiescence was deferred for more than seventy years. But all the other European powers tacitly "ac- cepted service Gas the lawyers say) and with a single memorable exceD- tion, have respected the notice to this day.
 The future of the Monroe doctrine is not conditioned in any way on our decision as regards the keeping or not keeping of territory wrested from Spain in the present war. In the years to come that doctrine will con- tinue to have just so much force as it derives from European respect for the fighting weight of Uncle Sam, plus European fear that John Bull may have to be reckoned with, too. Ru- mors come drifting through the cable from time to time that Germany wants big slice of Brazil, that Italy is mind ed to interfere between Chilli and the Argentine Republic, etc., etc. Sensible Americans do not allow themselves to be greatly disturbed by these rumcrs They have an idea that Europe has not yet had time to forget the Mexican adventure of Napoleon III, and it's se- quels.
