The curious notion is put forth that the United
States by serving friendly messenger be-
tween the Beers and Great Britain has sacri-
feed the Monroe Doctrine. The idea seems 10
be that the United States IN the special proviso
attached to The Hague Treaty agreed not to
meddle in the affairs of foreign States, and the
other Powers, in return, agreed TO respect the
Monroe Doctrine: but. the United States has
broken its part of the compact by meddng be-
tween two foreign States the Powers are freed
from their obligation with respect to the Monroe
Doctrine. The trouble with that is that it is
based on false premises The United States did
not pledge itself not to mediate in foreign af-
fairs, and was not understood so TO do 1t did
claim immunity from being called upon to do
against its will. Between those two things
there is vast difference. In the next place.
II the United States had thus pledged itself,
its recent action would not have been and can
not be counted a breaking of that pledge, for it
has not meddled nor interviewed, even offered
mediation. In brief this Nation has not de-
parted from its traditional practice. and there
fore has not in the least degree compromised
the integrity OF it's traditional doctrine

ranks of the teetotalers. and if the PrOhibi-

Respecting the Rev. Mr.. ShedOn's recent
pertinent in Christlike journalism, there seems
to be good deal of orthodox common sense in
the Rev. DR.. Lorimer's remark of Sunday last
that before preachers try to show how to run
newspapers they should show how to run
churches.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY.
Followers of Bryan Out in Force
Last Evening.

Anti-imperialists and silver men
were IN evidence last evening at the
Opera House to listen to the address
by Lot l.. Feltham on imperialism. y
The honorable gentleman has reason
to feel proud of his address and its
reception. The subject was handled
in most masterful scholarly
and logical manner. He treated the
question from lawyers standpoint;
he analysed it as judge would a
cause at law, and the verdict of his
hearers was that he won his case,
Mr.. Feltham displayed study and
conception of the issue involved
which was indeed gratifying to his
friends, and they will have no fears
in allowing him to take the field in
various parts of the state this fall,
where it is likely he is to be called by
the state central committee Mr..
Bashor occupied the platform a short
time and brought good news from all
parts of the county, where he has
been organizing and arranging for
the organization of Bryan and Steven
son clubs. He claims the county fol
Bryan by 500 to 700 votes. Mr..
B. grows in the hearts of his hearers
the more you hear him and his
earnestness and eloquence are most
captivating. The national committee
is familiar with Basbor's superior
abilities and have already demanded
his services 1t is not certain wha
field they will assign him to, but i
is not likely we shall have thu
pleasure of hearing him any NOR,
during the campaign.
The committee of ladies are entitl
ed to the credit of making the mos
, attractive hall and stage decoration
, which have yet graced the Oper
House.

Vaccinate 2, 600 Convicts.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 29.-Dr.
G. H. Williams, the physician of the
Missouri penitentiary, has just COM
pleted the big task of vaeeinating the
entire z, 300 convicts in the peniten-
tiary and all the guards and en-
ployes of that institution. This was
done on an order from Warden
Starke last week when that official
ordered the penitentiary quarantined
because of the appearance of small
pox in different parts of the state.
There are now many sore arms in
the penitentiary, not only of the con-
victs, but of officials as well. There
is not much danger now of smallpox
getting into the prison because of
this general vaccination and the
quarantine establishment

another wind mill to fight. 1t is as
serted that he will renew his endeavor
to change the senate rules on the
question OF debate When Mr.. Ma
son first took his seat i'm the senate
he lost no time in the preparation of
an amendment to the rules to limit
debate. The amendment proposed
the adoption OF the previous question
which prevails in the house. The
senator introduced his amendment.
1t was referred to the committee on
rules, but the committee never could
find time to take it up for considera-
ton. The junior senator from Illi-
Rois, however, is persistent. and
those who are close to him say he
will again make the fight to amend
the rules. Senator Mason does not
favor the extreme methods which
prevail in the house, where the ma
iority can cut off all debate without
a moments warning, but he wants
the majority in the senate to have
the right to fix reasonable time for
debate at the conclusion of which a
vote can be taken Under the present
rules OF the senate there is absolutely
no limit to the debate and no time
for vote can be set except by unafl-
imous consent. This provision in the
senate rules has on more than one
occasion peoved a safeguard to the
country. 1t has prevented the re-
publican majority from railroading
through obnoxious measures and
has been the rock upon which pro-
iected scheme for spoliation of the
treasury have hopelessly split 1t
will not be changed even at Senator
MasOn's request.

PRISON HELLS UPON EARTH.
Cuban Penal Institutions Are in a
Frightful Condition.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec 27.-Charles T.
Lewis, president of the New York
prison association. who went to Cuba
on behalf of the state and other or
CARNATIONS in the United States, has
made a sensational report to the sec
rotary of war in regard to the penal
institutions ON the island He con-
tends that this government is respon-
sible and says that a truthful descrip-
ton of the prisons would arouse
universal Indignation which would
probably be misdirected.
After urging this government,
through the war department, to stop
the 'intoberable cruelty and injustice
which now constitute a national dis
grace" Mr. Lewis adds: Great pris-
ons are overcrowded with men and
boys. Assassins, brigands, pick
pockets and young men charged with
disorderly conduct or merely suspect
ed of slight offenses are herded to alb
solute idleness and unrestricted inter-
course. With no change of clothing,
no blanket or semblance of bed, many
hundreds sleep on bare stones where
filth and vermin are kept down only
by constant sprinkling with disinfect-
ants.
In some prisons the only disinfect-
ant known is insect powder, and
cases of tuberculosis, some of them
far advanced. infest the rooms and
doubtless spread the seeds of disease.
Moral and physical contagion are
promoted on vast scale together
Most of these prisoners have been
proved guilty of no offense.
In this hell upon earth they are
held indefinitely while the judges of
first instance investigate the charges.
Each of these judges has a secretary,
who can often secure d dismissal, but
the prisoner without money or influ-
ence must wait
