Territorial Expansion.

In another place We print Il very inter
esting communication from Hon. Martin
V. Calvin en- the subject of territorial
expansion.
Mr.. Calvin goes back to history ana
finds that democratic doctrine and ira
ditiOn are not precisely what they are
interpreted to be by some of these writ
ers and speakers.
The Constitution has, indeed, under
taken on occasion to cut across the con-
tention Of these brethren by calling at
tention to the facts, but Mr.. Calvin goes
deeper into the matter and touches the
facts at their very source and tounda
ton. The idea that the Monroe doc
trine is q part of international law, OF
that it has sc me legal aspect or stand
ing, is very prevalent among some writ
ers whose equipment calls for more
knowledge. 1t is disposed of by Mr.. Cal
vim in brief sentence.
There is nothing simpler than that
doctrine. 1t is simply the enuncla-
ton of principle which had birth the
moment the republic became an actual
organization. 1t was not necessary TO
announce it, but the moment arrived
whom it was thought advisable to give
the European governments a hint as to
the actual state of things. When the
holy alliance was formed, Mr.. Canning
the British prime minister, informed
the American minister that the alliance
was up to some mischief in the western
hemisphere, and advised him that the
opportunity was ripe to say a word or
two. That word or two President Mon
roe said. The Monroe doctrine is THIS:
Boys, if you propose to make any con
quests in this part of the world, you'll
have to include the United States in the
scheme. If you think you can conquer
us well and good. That's the size OF
the undertaking. What that sort OF
an announcement has to do with terri
torial expansion we leave to some OF
our modern statesmen to explain
AS to the retention Of the Philippines

q pledge. real or implied, to the insur-

have infamed their hopes that one OF
the results of the war would be to put

It Will Not Work Here.

It Will Not Work Here.
There can be no doubt that certain
populist leaders in Georgia are trying
to drag the white voters of Georgia into
a coalition more infamous and disas-
trous than that which has worked such
dire results in the state of North Caro-
lima. A coalition with republicans in
Georgia is a coalition with the negroes.
There is no republican strength in Gcor-
gia save that which is the result OF
the negro vote. 1t is to gain the sup
port Of this vote that the populist lead
ers are now striving by every means in
their power to lead the white voters of
this state-the voters who have here
tofore acted with the pOulists-intO a
disgraceful political partnership with the
negro leaders.
This effort is Of very great Importance
to the farmers of Georgia, the voters
who live in the remote country regions
and who have heretofore given the popu-
list PARTY all the influence and respecta-
bility it possessed. 1t is they who, in
the end. must pay the price of this Goa
Iition with the negro party. The I'M
scrupulous leaders hope to wear the
honors Of the partnership, but it is the
plain country people who will have to
pay the price and bear the burdens OF
this poIitical utilization with the negroes
Are these voters prepared 20 face the
consequences? The Constitution has
laid before them some of the results that

quite a different matter. Our money Is
