Germany md the Monroe Doctrine

The significance of the action may be
matter of speculation. but it is 20 say the
least interesting and unsual that the Ger
man Emperor should on Thursday last
make two visits TO the British Embassy in
Berlin, and between them hold long con-
ference with his Minister of Foreign Az
fairs. Among European diplomatists the
impression appears to be that Kaiser Will
helm thinks the South African war has pro-
ceeded far enough, and that the time is OPP
perfume for friendly mediation.
Such an idea may be well founded, al
though it is perhaps equally possible that
the Nicaragua Canal had more TO do with
the episode than England's troubles in Ma
tai and Cape Colony. Indeed We may be
reasonably certain that nothing else likely
to happen anywhere in the world would
have the Importance in the Kaiser's eyes
of the surrender and abandonment OF the
Monroe Doctrine which would be involved
conclusively and irrevocably in the rati-
fcation OF the Hay Pauncefote treaty by
the United States Senate. Everyone knows
that but for the impasse which that doc
trine has presented to the governments OF
the Old World. their interference in the
affairs of the Western Hemisphere would
have Seen active and constant.
There is not the slightest ground Tor
doubt. therefore that in its effort to de-
stroy the Monroe Doctrine, and thus 10
open all the Americas 10 European ag-
erosion. Great Britain will have the syra-
pathy and support OF Germany, and all

A Mennee 10 America.

Reports from plague stricken Honolulu
are not reassuring. Considering the
American control OF and responsibility for
Hawaii the persistent spread OF the bu-
homie malady is positively alarming. Since
this Pacific group of islands is in reality
q halfway station on the ocean pathway
to our Philippine colonies. and our COM
mercial and political relations with its
people have been permanently established,
the distressing conditions now prevalent
in the principal city should give MS almost
as much concern as though the pestilence
had passed the Golden Gate.
Honolulu is paying the penalty of pro-
crastination, and We may well look TO our
own physical safety. The menace, instead
of being robbed of its fangs. is becoming
more and more acute. Carelessness may
yet permit the black plague TO steal
across the Pacific and begin its work Of
destruction in the very interior Of Amer
lea before it's presence is realized.
There is something radically wrong in
Honolulu or the plague would have been
checked at the outset. That the system Of
quarantine is far from being formidable is
apparent after perusal of the editorial
comment in "Austins Hawaiian Weekly"
Although the entire city is ostensibly I'M
der quarantine, the periodical referred to
intimates that there are gross and danger
GUS delnquencies in enforcing the safe
guards. il cites an instance where. case
OF plague having been discovered in a GER
tain quarter, the women and children of
the neighborhood were permitted to seat
ter throughout the city In state Of panic.
1T is well known that the quarantine in
Chinatown, even, has been a farce" says
the Weekly" inspectors and guards are
permitted To enter the infected district
and then visit their families without
changing their clothing. Is II any wonder
that the plague is spreading? The worst
scandal TO be laid at the door of the Board
OF Health is the Arlington quarantine. 1t
Is no quarantine at al so far as guests are
concerned. They are permitted TO go in
and out and mingle with their friends as
they choose. Yet day and night guard
OF inspectors are maintained at cost TO
the Government of over fifty dollars day

CIRCULATION STATEMENT.


In a speech in New York City few days
ago the Hon. William J. Bryan made pub
lie confession as follows:
However positive, however emphatic
/ ma be tonight in the expression OF
certain ideas, ] recognize the fallibillty
OF the human intellect. ! recognize the
fact that l may be wrong and others
may be right
Being Tor the first time invited to do so,
let us reason with Mr.. Bryan. He stands
before the country an earnest candidate for
the highest Office in the gift of the people
on a platform which advocates the free
coinage of silver opposes trusts. and de-
nounces the policy of American expansion
which the Mckinley Administration has in
augurated as a necessary result OF the
war with Spain. These three issues he
would make equally prominent in the COM
ing Presidential campaign; but American
history shows thai such thing is imposs-
BILE.
When turfman enters three horses in
race he is required to declare which
one he proposes to win with. This
is done to prevent unlawful collusion in
the running and TO protect beuors. Mr.
Bryan has entered three political dogmas
in the Presidential Sweepstakes. and the
voters desire to know on which he pins
his faith.
We have observed OF late tendency on
the part of Mr.. Bryan to pay a beautiful
,ribute TO the eyebrows CT the silver goodies;
at the beginning of each OF his public ad-
dresses, and then TO spend the rest of the
evening talking about something else.
Sometimes he deals exclusively with the
trusts-more frequently-nine times out of
zen. In fact-he deyoies his whole speech 10
what he is pleased TO call imperialism.
Now. imperialism is fearsome word
To the honest, patient farmer OF Nebraska
il calls up memories of Alexander Caesar,
Nero. Napoleon. and the Gar of Russia
1t frightens him. Can anyone propose or
advocate an imperial America? Shall the
Republic be lost in an Empire? And are
not imperialism and national expansion one
and the same thing? II they are, then this
is the issue--the oyershadowing, monumen-
tai issue Of the day. and there is no time
TO talk or think about anything else. Free
silver Sc good; the great trust monopolies
are bad; but Imperialism strikes at the
very life of the Republic. and before any,
thing and everything it must be stamped
out. So they think In Nebraska and Ar
kansas and Mississippi, and perhaps in
other States in which Mr.. Bryan has lately
appeared. He has entered three horses in
the race, but it is easy TO see with which
one he expects to win. As result there
IL Joy and gladness in the White House:
for there they know what the country
knows, that with Free Silver and Anti
Trust pulled the piebald gelding Anti Ex-
pansion (Aguinaldo up) will be left at the
post.
Mr.. Bryan is an honest and truthful man,
and when he says that If he is wrong now
he will admit the fact on the eth day OF
next November, he means IL. In the in
tervel. in the presence of the Democratic
party, hungry with the hunger of many
weary months, We may as well drop the

Lessons in Ncracity.

One of Lewis CAROLS intimate
friends has told some anecdotes illustrat-
ing his loN. for accuracy and truthfulness
in everyday matters. Most of his init
mate friendships were with children, and
in many unobtrusive ways he impressed
on their minds the necessity for avoiding
exaggeration and small falsehoods. Thus
il little girl said that dish was "brok
en- into a thousand pieces. he would re-
mind her that If that were true the pieces
would be too small 10 be visible, and he was
likely 10 send her TO count The fragments
IL they were accessible. That child soon
learned to be careful about using such
phrases in his presence.
To old-fashioned people it may seem odd
that an author of delightfully."- grotesque
fairy tales should have been so particular
about intoxicating truthfulness in children,
for people of strict ideas used to be fond
of calling all fiction by the straightfor-
ward name OF lies" But there is a great
difference between a fairy tale and false
hood and mos; children understand it per-
fectly well-much better. in fact. Than
some of their elders.
When a child is told fairy tale in such
way that ii believes il TO be the truth,
and looks upon Santa Claus, and the
Brownies, exactly as if they were real,
human, everyday beings, that child fas

War and The Hague Treaty.


FIom the Brooklyn Easle)
About the Oily question over which we would
go to war with a European power would lie over
its right 10 increase It's possessions on this side
Of the ocean. Other subjects Of possible dispute
are trivial in comparison with this. We will srbi-
traie those. but We retain to ourselves the right
10 resist by force any European sggresions. II

the conclusion that the Monroe Doctrine, ins.ead

il is TO get at the real truth of a story,
where strong emotions are excited. 1t is
so easy to exaggerste slight occurrence
or TO give it a wrong aspect, or to gloss
over its discreditable features. that the
wise person will discredit about half the
evidence he hears on any sort OF neigh

taught in childhood that opinions are not
necessarily facts. nor are surmises always

served upon the department officers, unless they
