Sporting News.

A match race between Lura Backus
and Little Coaster would attract every
horseman in Akron to Fountain Park.
The recent race at Medina, in which
Little Coaster finished second and
Lura Backus third, has only served to
intensity the rivalry between the own
ers of the respective animals.
1t was stated Friday that the first
meeting of the horses occurred at Me-
dina. Mr.. Ed Wall, the owner and
driver of Lura Backus, takes excep-
tlons to this statement. He informed
the sporting editor Of the Democrat
Saturday that 1t was the fourth race In
which the trotters had been opposed
and that this was the first time that
Mr.. Hershey's animal had finished
ahead of Lura Backus. During the
races In Akron last July Lura Backus
won second money and Little Coaster
was unplaced.
He stated that there was no foul
driving on his part in the race at Me
dim. 1t was claimed that he had fore
ed Little Coaster to the outside of the
track swinging around the upper turn,
preparatory to making the drive down
the home stretch. In reference to
this he says that the track was very
narrow and that he was in third place,
with Little Coaster. He made wide
turn, but was forced to do so I'm order
to get a position for the final drive.
AS he was in third place and Little
Coaster was fourth he claims that he
had perfect right to do so.
Mr.. Wall believes that he had decid-
edly the worst of the start in at least
one of the heats Mt Medina. He claims
that the horses were called back every
time that Little Coaster was a fraction
of a nose behind. In the fourth hent
the word was given with Lura Backus

IMPERIALISM,
Abandonment Of the Monroe
Doctrine.
EDITOR UHIEFrAIN:

OF the war Of 1776, called off their
dogs and went home, the Ameri-
can people had been we'll nigh
completely spent under the pro-
longed burden of arms. They
threw themselves down upon the
ground restfully, kissed the land
which their valor had delivered
from the yoke of transatlantic tyr
amy, and swo-e to one another
eternal hatred and defiance to
king;practice. They had just end
ed painful pilgrimage through a
wide and thorny wilderness of
trial. Adversely had produced its
divinest effect upon both their in
dividual and nahonal character.
Vanity and the spirit of aggress-
i've ambition had been left no
place in the makeup of American
human nature. Both the state
and the citizen had grown grave,
dignifed, selflpossessed, and self
respecting, They had learned to
appreciate the deception, and the
danger, of those absurd conven-
tionalisms which had been intro
duced into European civilization
by means OF wealth, vanity, and
roys' ambition; and the main cur
rent of American thought had been
driven back to flowing in its orig
inal, natural channels. They had
been told that the king could do
no wrong; bat they discovered the
falsehood and held royalty ac-
countable. They had also been
taught that men are born, some to
nobility, and some to slavery; but
under the heel Of oppression, they
learned better, and made the doc
trine subject of contemptuous
reputation.
1t was this kind Of men, chasen-
ed, sobered, and purified in the
fires Of adversely, that were called,
in the providence Of God, to clear
up the ground in this occidental
world and locate new field for
the cultivation Of a higher order
Of human character, and the pro-
duction Of more abundant crops OF
human happiness.
The theory upon which this new
heritage was to he cared for, was
original and very simple. Amer
ican craftsmanship, in the docile
mood OF its early youth, had been
heedful enough to notice that the
God of heaven, when he planted a
garden Of bliss upon the face OF
our earth, had fencedit about with
a strong insuperable wall, cutting
off all possible communication
with the outside world: and at the
adamantine gate, which had been
built only for the use of loyal spir-
its, he placed strong guard Of
mighty angels, armed with more
than damascus blades, flashing
with fire and lightning. Upon the
massive arch OF this impregnable
gate was engraved in characters
appallingly legible to the under
standing, if not to the eye, the
word, seclusion. Every gardener
for the last six thousand years has
profted by this primeval example.
Yet, though equally applicable
in the protection Of natiOnalities
as in that Of gardens, no people,
prior to 1776, except the Chinese,
had ever attempted TO make a po-
liticaI use Of the principle. Al the
close Of the American revolution,
the good sense Of the great Wash
in7ton had been enabled BY ex-
perienos 70 grasp a partial idea Of

blOn. upon retlilnB iiuu WV
management of public affairs, he
advised the American people in a
formal address TO abstain carefully
from all intermeddling with the
affairs of foreign nations, and thus
avoid the danger of destructive in
ternational wrangle. But even the
father OF this country overlooked
the fact that, while his children
might be sure TO be bitten If they
took a dog by the ears, they might
possibly share the same fate with
out giving sny. such an occasion.
1t was not until James Monroe
was seated as president of the
United States, that it ever dawned
upon the maBds OF American states
manship that there was just as
much danger of trouble arising
from the meddling OF foreign ma
tions with our domestic affairs, as
from our meddling with theirs;
and thenit was, that Mr.. Monroe
promulgated that famous doctrine
which has ever since borne his
name, and which completed, and
rounded out, the political scheme
of Washington, and embarked the
United States under the banner Of
Chinese seclusiveness.
We were now to let other peo-
pie alone, and other people
were not only to let us alone,
but also to keep their hands off Of
all our friends on this continent.
At this epoch, the United States
entered upon career of prosper
our development and growth that
is exampled nowhere in all the
the history of nations. From the
administration of Mr.. Monroe to-
that OF Mr.. Mckinley, population
increased annually by multiplied
millions; and the nation rose from
a feeble experimental republic
with only questionable hold up
on existence, I'd one of the great
est, richest, proudest, and most
powerful powers upon the face OF
the earth.
So much for Chinese seclusion-
ism on American, instead Of Asiat-
ic, soil. Basing our forecast on
Mongolian example, We might
reasonably anticipate for the
United States, under the benign
leadings Of the Washington-Mon-
roe policy, afuture existence like
that Of the celestial empire, meas
ured by milleniums instead Of
centuries.
But the ibane of Imperialism,
which is simply the lust of money
and power, has been allowed by
Mr.. Mckinley to penetrate the
dominant eounsels of the nation,
and, as a result, we s,e our chaste
and scrupuIous republic embark
ing in the bad business Of foreign
conquest with all the eager zest of
our European monarchy.
Already we begin to see the fin
al out come Of such q course. AL
ready has foreign and uncongeniaI
soil begun to drink Of our very
best of American blood, and the
bones Of the very best Of Americas
manhood have begun to lie bleach
ing, or bruised, in foreign lands.
The noble men and women whom
America has sent out with the
messages OF love and life are per-
secuted to horrible deaths by bar
barian fanaticism. American cit
izens are made the butts Of mon
