WHEREOF THE MONROE DOCTRINE:

Germany is said to be negotiating
with Venezuela for the purchase of
the island of Margarita for a coaling
station. The Philadelphia Times,
which publishes the report, does not
vouch for its accuracy. But suPposing
it to be true, what is to hinder? The
Monroe doctrine? What is the Mon
roe doctrine between friends? Since
the United States has gone into the
imperial grabbing business that doc
trine is obsolete. 1t has gone a-glim-
merilg with the constitution and
other "fads" of the fathers. The
essence of the Monroe doctrine was
the simple rule of "shinny on your
own side" The United States
would not NEEDLE in the eastern
hemisphere, and Europe should not
NEEDLE in the western. Since we
have abandoned the first, we cannot
enforce the second. Mr.. Blaine I'M
derstood this very well when he re-
fused to consider a proposition to
acquire a coalipg station in the
Mediterranean. However desirable it
might be, he said, if the United States
were to establish naval posts on the
other side OF the globe, it would be
impossible to object to European
nations establishing such posts upon
this side, and the great moral defense
we have in the Monroe doctrine
would be gone.
The Monroe doctrine is not settled
principle of international law; it is
rather law of courtesy. 1t has been
generally acquiesced in tacitly by
European governments, in recogni-
tion of the preponderating interest of
the United States in the western hem
isphere. We have not had to enforce
it, except automatically, and it is
not certain that we could. But every
administration before Mckinley has
maintained it and caused it to be re-
sPected.
When the Mckinley administration
abandoned the principle on which it
was based. it abandoned the doctrine
itself. Germany has as clear right
to acquire a naval station off the
coast of South America as the Unite d
States to establish stations of the

coast of Asia. We have surrendered
the ground upon which we could ask
or expect her to keep away from our
sphere of influence. 1t is in this way
that the latter has created a very
real danger near at home. While
it may not be Immediately harmful,
it certainly is not desirable that Ger
many or any similar power should
obtain footing in the western hem
isphere. But we have no longer any
moral ground on which to object. and
if we undertake to keep her of by
force, we may find the task embar-
RAISING and difficult. This is what
comes of disregarding American prin-
ciDles

The hot weather OF the last six
weeks has ut least resulted in some
good. A Mr.. Heismeister, oil Cincin-
natti has invented d cooling ma
chine by which the temperature OF a
house may be reduced to any point
desired. The apparatus consists OF
pumping airinto two steel cylinders,
one of which contains quantity oil
ice and rock salt. This cools the
compressed air, which is then let in
to the room desired by means OF an
automatic valve. a small quantity
o. the cooled air will greatly reduce
the temperature Of a room, thus
making the cost OF operation very
low. The machine costs no more
than a stove and for that reason j,
is expected there will be demand
for it.

1.-THE Iowa republicans last week
nominated A. b. Cummins, OF Des-
Moines for governor. With his
nomination was eliminated one OF
the longest and fiercest political
battles which Iowa or any other
state has witnessed for many years.
BY the victory at Ce dar Rapids Mr..
Cum Minis established himself as one
of the keenest leaders and shrewdest
organizers of the day. For years
Iowa politics have been in the hands
OF a machine. No organization OF
late years has equaled it for thor
oughness and generalship, but at
the same time there has been IN in-
creasing number OF discontented re-
publicans outside OF the machine
element. 1t was for A. b. Cummins
a Des Moines lawyer, to assume the
generalship OF these forces and weld
them into one perfect organization
which has at last placed him within
reach OF the gubernatorial chair and
at the same time given him a com
plete victory oyer his old enemy, the
machine.

The tariff is becoming a much dis
cussed subject once more and unless
it is settled in Congress next winter,
at least one phase of it, that OF rec
iprocity, will probably becarried
into the campaign OF next wear.
The benefits OF protective tariff are
acknowledged even by the old demo-
cratic southern states. but great
many people believe that in order to
avert a trade war with Europe we
will have to grant a few reciprocity
treaties with those nations.
