Belgium puts a tax on bllboards suhi-

board Is In prospect Of extinction without

There seems no excuse at this time OF
day for any misunderstanding as to the
real meaning of the Monroe doctrine. Be-
ginning with Mr.. Cleveland's 9 action In the
controversy between Great Britain and
Venezuela, contributions to the subject
from many men Of eminence have been
numerous, and all OF them intended to
bring the subject down to the hour OF
present application. That the doctrine finds
critics and opponents in certain quarters
abroad, and even here at home, is another
matter. American sentiment in support OF
1t Is overwhelming; and any President OF
the United States who failed to assert It
not In any strained construction, but as
popularity understood - would Immediately
find himself without honor or influence In
his own country. Private life would be
boon for such man. No mistake as to the
doctrine Is likely to be made over here.
And there would be no excuse for one II
made abroad.

England's Navy Ineffective.

Berlin Correspondence London Chronicle, Aug. 26.
The "Berliner Neueste Nachrichten' to-
day publishes strong criticism apparent
ly written by a naval man upon the recent
British naval maneuvers The writer de-
ciares that after careful study the rumors
concerning the alleged inefficiency Of the
British fleet must be regarded as absolute
ly justified. He even goes so far as to
say that the British fleet matched against
a hostile fleet Of even approximately the
same caltber would be badly defeated. The
writer considers Great Britain's naval
equipment to be far behind the latest i'm
provements in ships. material, construction,
armor and guns. First-class armored
cruisers, he declares, are conspicuous by
their absence, and the number OF torpedo
catchers and destroyers Is equally INSULT
cient. He regards the sudden close Of the
maneuvres as proving the well-founded
character of his contention, Admiral Noel
being in a hopeless plight owing to the bad
material under his command"
THE failure Of the cruisers" continues
the writer, shows a want Of clear method
in the tactical use of this class Of war
vessel in the British navy" The article
recognizes the skill Of Admiral Noel and
the daring strategy and determination OF
Admiral Wilson. but comparing the
British and French maneuvers he comes
to the conclusion that while France can
boast Of success. Great Britain can only
mark failure. "for the French maneuvers
had proved the superiority Of the French
fleet in the Mediterranean. whereas the
British maneuvers showed that q powerful
well-directed French fleet would keep the
upper hand even in the channel"

m the PHILADELPHIA Press.

The CHASTITY Trenton tragedy Of last
Wednesday with fifteen known dead, q
probable death list of nearly thirty and as
many more MANNED and injured fills the
public eye, but steamboat explosions kill
few by the side Of the perpetual loss Of life
from small boiler explosions. No official
figures exist as to these accidents. but the
Locomotive" the organ Of a Hartford
Conn.,, insurance company, has for many
years kept a fairly complete record Of all
boiler accidents afloat and ashore as they
appeared in the newspapers. In the twenty
years from 1879 to 1898 there were in this
country 1915 boiler explosions, killing $3.50
persons and wounding S.195. This is q
yearly average of 24O explosions, 296 killed
and 400 wounded, but as the figures have
gone on steadily increasing the annual av-
erage for the five years 1S04-8 Is 363 ex-
plosions, 346 killed and 525 wounded.

The Monroe Doctrine Apain.

The Star expressed the hope the other
day that now that the terms of the New
Granada treaty were generally known there
would be no further miSapprehansion
abroad as to the attitude OF the United
States toward Colombia and Venezuela
But misapprehension still exists. as witness
the following from the London Chronicle:
The United States will find their hands
fully occupied IL they construe the Monroe
doctrine as enjoining them to the duty OF
acting guide, philosopher and friend
toward all the Central and South Ameri-
can republics. The mediation of the United
States would probably be an unmixed good
for Colombia and Venezuela. but II would
be watched with considerable distrust by
Europe"
The Monroe doctrine has nothing to do
with the case. II has no bearing on any
differences that may arise between two
Central or two South American states.
Scores OF such differences have arisen since
the doctrine was proclaimed without pro-
voking any action on the part of this gov
ernment. Those people may change their
rulers as often as they do their shirts, or
oftener, and the United States will not in
tervene. While at all times ready and will

proposition. That treaty did not grow out
of the Monroe doctrine, and we are no,

In discords loud and queer,
And tells with zest an ancient jest
Which no one wants to hear.
I mock at his well-meaning phrase,
Whatever he may say;
I scorn his swift facility
In getting in the way.
Sometimes he looks about him and
In a superior tone
I hear him crfttcise the faults
Peculiarly his own.

The habit of misunderstanding has

France that the chamber Of deputies
has now prohibited its manufacture
and sale. Already ''the green terror"
as it is called, has destroyed such bril-
liant geniuses as Guy de Maupassant,
Alfred de Musset, Baudelaire and
others hardly less noted. Since 1894
the consumption has doubled. 1t is
now estimated at ten million sixty
thousand quarts year. The drink was
forbidden In the army some time ago,

OF deputies shows how serious the z v.
