The New Bankruptcy Law.

The first bankruptcy law was passed in 1900, and was repealed in 1S03. The next law of this nature was signed in 1S41, and it, too stood but three years. Another law was perfected in 1867, but it was re- pealed in 1878. The new law Is the fourth of the series.
 The clashing interests of debtors in the west and south and of creditors in the east have operated against the enactment of bankruptcy bills, or against their reten- tion on the statute books after they have been enacted. The present bill is a com promise measure. It does not wholly ex- ,clude the involuntary system nor does it lemand the assent of more than a ma- iority of creditors in the release of a bank .upt from his debts. It places all cred xtors on an equal footing, and it shortens khe proceedings in court, thus reducing the rost of insolvent settlements. It is alike Favorable to debtor and creditor, and the belief is expressed that the new law will |ot soon be repealed.

Imperialism Is Not Feared.

State democratic conventions were held
 in Tennessee. Georgia and Pennsylvania on
 Wednesday, and in all three conventions
 the war was upheld, and it's vigorous pros
 ecution demanded; but in no one of the
 three states were the great issues con-
 or even mooted. Both parties and all ha1ds
 have become opportunists-Ohio republicans
 as well as Georgia democrats. All propose
 to see what the fleets and armies of the
 country accomplish, before they say what they desire in relation to conquered terri tory This is, of course, a sensible thing ritory Admiral Dewey dominates Manila
 bay, but at this writing our conquest in that quarter does not extend far inland The results of the war are to come, and so are platform utteranees concerning them. The Pennsylvania democrats did not ex- press an opinion upon the questions in volved in 'conquests of territory, and the Tennessee democrats in declaring for the Monroe doctrine practically d1d the same thing The Georgia democrats demand that Spain be driven from the western hemi- sphere, and the Nicaragua canal be built. Beyond these points they did not go. In fact, they could not. Events must ripen first Democrats act wisely in not antici- patng them.
 No one need, however, be scared in the meanwhile by the false and misleading cry | of Imperialism" There is no thought of | imperialism anywhere. We are not fighting | the people of Cuba or the people of Porto | Rico or the people of the Philippines. We are not trying to impose our will upon them or any of them We are fighting with them and for them, against foe that they know stands for oppression, robbery and misrue of every conceivable sort; and
 when peace and victory are achieved no government should be even temporarily es- | tablished against the consent of the gov erned. There may be in store for us a long. hard task ahead in the bringing of 1 this or that people up to the self-govern- ing point, but there will not be touch of | imperialism anywhere. That exists in the perfervid brain of Editor GodlSin and the | dull tissue of the Princeton fisherman, but scarcely anywhere else.

The Monroe Doctrine.

The democrats of Tennessee, in conven- tion this week in Chattanooga, urged vigorous prosecution of the war, and then contented themselves with declaring: "We recognize the Monroe doctrine as a cardi- nal tenet of the democratic party and part of the public policy of the national gov ernment, and favor its strict observance" territory but it is quite enough, for it says to all the world! Hands off; whatever we conquer we will deal with in our own way and seems to us fit"
 The Monroe doctrine is the doctrine of President Monroe, and not of Grover Cleve- land or of any other latter-day saint. The real thing was presented by Monroe in his famous message of December ?, 1925 and it was challenge to absolutism and the Holy Alliance. particularly in the western world, but generally wherever it antag- onized American interests. It was a de- fiance of Russia and her allies everywhere. The Holy Alliance had threatened to re- store the South American states to Spain. Canning was then premier of England. and he was opposed to such action He courted an alliance with this country. Jefferson favored such an alliance, and Madison did not oppose it. President Monroe decided to act boldly alone. He defled action by the Holy Alliance in South America, and In plain words denounced absolutism every where. Instead of setting up a bargain with the absolutists, by the terms of which they were to keep out of America if America would let the rest of the world alone, Monroe said in his famous message that this country was concerned in the the affairs of Spain and Portugal, which he proceeded to discuss. He made no bar gain with the absolutists at all. He de- nounced them in America, and out of America. He simply said that America would protect her interests in any quarter of the globe against absolutsm, which was at the time particularly threatening. The Holy Alliance was it's worst manifesto ltion. England disliked it, and Monroe defied it.
 In short, the Monroe doctrine as laid down by Monroe and John Quincy Adams, his secretary of state, is a protest against the encroachments of Europe whenever and wherever they appear. It is notice to the powers of Europe that henceforth they have America to deal with. It leaves America free to act as her interests may dictate.
 The tinkered and latter-day version of the doctrine is dicker that leaves this country in hole. "Keep out of America, and we will keep out of the rest of the world" say these latter-day wiseacres. Such doctrine would cripple American trade. and doom us to international isola- tion. Such dicker would close China against our trade and prevent trade ex- pansion in any other part of the Pacific. uThere is not a word or line in anything fM~ecnroe wrote that sets up any such doctrine, and no such doctrine can be set up at this time. No one wants or will SUD- port the Cleveland version of the Monroe doctrine. The original doctrine is a chal- lenge to unwarranted European preten- slons in every field, and that is the doc- Urine that the democrats of Tennessee recognized in their Chattanooga platform.

A FINE CROP OF WHEAT.
From the Athens Courier.

One of the finest yields of wheat that we have ever heard of co4les from the crop of Camy King, grown on the little farm of Mrs. Emma Hill, just adjoining the corporation of Athens He had in about eleven acres of wheat on the place and last Saturday he threshed his crop and it turned out two hundred and twen- ty-four bushels of nice clean wheat. This is fine crop and beats cotton raising all to death. Less than half the trouble and more than twice the profit that Is found in the growing of cotton.
