AN UP-coUNTRY RISING.
Great Height Of Hon. jeremiah Mason
Helped to Make His Word
Respected.

In spite of the old saying, the law
yer who conducts his own CASE does
not always have q fool for client.
Hon. jeremiah Mason, who was ad,
mitted to the New Hampshire bar in
1791, was a man of great height, but
during the early part of his profess
sional career, says the Green Bag,
was so slight and apparently frail in
build that, as the phrase is, "he
looked like a boy"
Travelling once in sleigh after a
great snowstorm, he met country
man in similar conveyance. Mr..
Mason turned his horse and sleigh
as far to one side as he conveniently
could, and courteously requested the
other person to do the same.
The other man, however, was stur-
dy of figure and stubborn of nature,
and taking Mr.. Mason's courteous
speech as sign OF craven spirit,
he refused to bulge an inch, and de-
manded free way for his vehicle.
At this Mr.. Mason's eyes flashed.
The day was cold and he had sunk
deeply into the robes of his high
backed sleigh; but now he drew him.
self up and sat erect on the seat for
moment; then he began slowly to
divest himself of his wrappings and
to get upon his feet, gradually dis.

claimed:
"Say, mister, you needn't rise any
more, I'll turn out!"

The Trouble 8

CHAPTER XIII.-CoSr1suED.

The morning of the last Sunday in
September dawned bright and clear.
A hunting party coming from North
Park had stopped over night at the
ettlement, and one of it's members,
a young clergyman from the east,
held religious service in the school
house. AS I learned afterward, the
young man. had no lack of hearers.
Anything in the way of religious
meeting was novelty in the seques-
tered valley, and the settlement
turned out almost to man. Wini-
fred went with Mrs. Setter; Angus
was there with his cowboys, and
.1here was even goodly sprinkling of
the workmen from the engineers
camp.
For reasons of my own which were
not grounded in any cynical preju-
dice, did not go. To tell the truth,
was growing anxious about Setter.
There was mystery connected with
his movements reaching back to
certain evening when 1 CHANGED to see
him coming down from the northern
gulch beyond the hog-back with
ries sick child. The following
morning I had found a new-made
grave-or at least place where
something had been freshly buried
in the embankment of the great
canal; and when my morning stroll
up the gorge beyond the hog-back
ended at the door of Wykamp's pow
der magazine. had warned Angus
to be prepared to prove an alibi at
any hour of the day y night. AS a
corollary to all this l watched Setter
beagle-wise.
On the Sunday morning, therefore,
small thing kept me from going to
the schoolhouse with Winifred and
Mrs. Setter. 1t was a fact brought
out by my field glass. On the higher
slopes of the hog-back had CHANGED
to descry a moving speck making its
way westward toward the upper can
yon; in the object glass of the binoc-
ular it defined itself as man Zig
tagging across the ridge with heavy
burden of some kind on his back. 1t
was Setter, and the mystery might
then have pointed to its own solution
II 1 had not been so deeply engrossed
in Macpherson's affair. The time for
the trial was drawing near, and if
watched Setter like a paid shadower
of men, it was chiefly because 1
feared he might disappear before the
critical moment. This going afeld
with backload had the look of it..
Doubtless he was preparing hiding
place somewhere in the mountains to
/ which he could retreat at need.
The schoolhouse meeting had be-
gun when lost sight of the moving
speck and lighted my pipe to weigh
the promisings of an attempt to fol-
low Setter. From my chair on the
porch could hear the singing quite
distinctly above the murmur of the
river in it's bed across the road. The
autumn storms were delayed, and the
weather for fortnight had been
cool. In consequence the water was
low and it's thunder was softened I'M
til the cataract pouring over the
waste weir of the completed dam was
clearly audible. Up among the west
ern peaks the clouds were gather
ing; and I remember thinking that
Wykamp must be relieved to know
that the season for cloudbursts was
fairly over for the year.
The thought had scarcely taken
shape when the man himself came
riding by. AS once before. anxiety

RACING AND BULLFIGHTS.

The admirers of the turf, whose numbers are.
legion naturally are gratified by the cabled re-
norts from Madrid that Alfonso NIL has said
that he cannot be enthusiastic over puiInShts
and is inclined to take more interest III con-
tests of thoroughbred runners There is too
much brutality in the crimson arena where
nfcadors toreadors and matadors display their
skill Centuries ago horSeraclng with anllais
of the noblest strains was called the sport of
kings To-day England's ruler owns magnin-
cent stable and the German Emperor, the Rus-
sian Car, Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
Hungary and the King of Italy are all enthusl-
astic in the promotion and development or the
breeding and racing of the finest types OF horse
flesh The French Government Is llheral ana
nersistent in its support of the stock farms and
the famous racecourses within the borders OF
the Gallo Republic
King Alfonso will find, if he endeavors 10
prevail upon the Spanish people to turn their
hacks upon the cruelties of bullfghts and to
interest themselves in racing of true merit and
high class, that his policy will be approved by
his brother monarchs In Europe. and will be
applauded by public sentiment generally, both
in the Old World and the New. Bullfghting is
out of place in this era. The Roman amph-
theatres. with the deadly battles of the gladia-
tors and the casting of innocent victims to the
lions have passed away.
There is a remarkable boom for thoroughbred
racing in both hemspheres this year. In Great
Britain, on the European Continent and in the
United States the public interest this season in
the rivalries of the feetest horses that can be
bred and trained exceeds anything known be
fore The jockey clubs on every continent are
more prosperous and successful than in pre-
vious seasons. If the young King of Spain will
send the bulls a-packing and foster and stimu-
late high class racing within his domains he
will endear himself 10 turfmen in all countries.

to China and Japan This latter feature OF the
case is nerhaps the one worthy of and needing
most attention at the present time, for the rea-
son that there are concrete obstacles in the way
of attaining the only end that can be satlSIac
tory or even tolerahle to the United states
There are two companies, alien, or course
which DENY our right to an open door for teie-
graphic communication with China, and even
with the Philippines One of these, the Great
Northern, claims to have secured from emma
the sole right to land maintain and operate
cables upOn the Chinese coast for a period OF
thirty wears from October 81, 1900 The other
the Eastern Extension, claims to have under
Snanish grant made in the spring of 1S9S d
twenty years monopoly of cable communication
between the Philippines and all other countries
Now. concerning the former, such cOnces-
sion is in direct violation of the open door
principle and of explicit treaty rights Ill
China The Chinese Government has no more
right to give one concern a monopoly of landing
cables upon its coast than it would have 10 give
one the sole right of landing merchandise or
of entering ships into its ports Inc mohopoiS
of the Great Northern Company is therefore
unlawful and should be denounced, and its ahro-
CATION should be compelled. Similarly, the
monopoly of the Eastern EXTENSION company II
contrary TO both expedency and morals. 1t is
be prevented by a foreign corporation from
holding telegraphic communication with its own
nossessions and it is a violation of our moral
and literal pledge of an open door IN the
Philippines to -et any monopolists thus close
this most important door. If it be judicially
held that the Spanish concession of March, lS9o
is valid and binding, it will be well for TINS
government to consider Immediately ana prac-
ticalIy the advisa bility of cancelling it by pay
ing a forfeit according to the terms OF the con-
cessfon itself That would cost a tidy sum-
But we might better afford to pay that forfeit
than to let a foreign concern shut the tele-
graphic door of the Philippines against us and
against all the world for the next eighteen
years.
This then is the gist of the whole matter
the fundamental and paramount issue in the
case The sine qua non of Chartering trans
pacific cable company must be that 1t Will De
exclusively American and will be in accord with
the principle of the open door, both in the
Philippines and in China, If any private cor
poration is planning TO get into the Philippines
through a tributary compact with the usurping
monopolists already established there, that fact
should he fatal to its prospects. No charter
should be granted to any company that is not
free from even a suspicion of standing in with"
those alien concerns If no private company
can comply with that requirement, then the
United States Government should itself take
the enterprise in hand For a cable must be
laid across the Pacific; ii must be an exclusively
American cable and it must enter the Philip
pines and China through freely open door.

PACIFIC CABLE ISSUES.

In considering the controversy over the trans
pacific cable, which must soon be determined in
one way or another, il is desirable TO recognize
and to keep in mind the real issues involved
and not TO confuse them with extraneOus and
irrelevant matters. We might indeed say
there is only major issue involved. all others
being subordinate thereto and of comparatively
little Importance to the general public. The
question is not, as some have sought to make
il appear whether this that or the other
corporation shall have the franchise. There
are, it is true, two or more rival companies i'll
the field but which shall win is matter of
entire Indifference to the nation. Neither Is it
a question of governmental or private construc-
ton and ownership. Upon each side of that
there is something to be said, but that is a
secondary and minor question. Indeed, both of
these questions derive their chief Importance
from their relationship to the one supreme con-
sideration.
That is the necessity OF making the entire
cable system a purely American one, with an
absolutely open door for communication in the
Far East. From California 10 Luzon the cable
must be under exclusively American control,
and at every landing place it must be on Amer
lean soil and under the American flag; and 1t
must be free to be extended at will from Luzon

THE scHURuAy DOCTRINE.

President Schurman has Just been making an
address before the convention Of the Free Re-
Igious Associations, in Boston, expounding his
more OF less valuable views upon the Philip
pines. In the course of his speech he outlines
new doctrine of American policy which he
modestiy calls the Monroe Doctrine. but il bears
so little resemblance to the ideas which John
Quincy Adams developed and President Monroe
promulgated in his famous message of 1923 that
It should take independent rank of its own as
the Schurman Doctrine. DR.. Schurman says:
The Monroe Doctrine is merely application
of continentalism 10 the circumstances of the
peoples of Central and South America. You
shall not put forth your hand and touch the
New World 1--WE said to the rulers OF Europe);
for the New World belongs TO its Inhabitants
and under our hegemony shall be preserved for
them; but the American continents are pro-
ourselves the policy of annexations in Europe.
Asia, Africa or Australia. Content with the
New World. We want nothing beyond it.
If DR.. Schurman would turn to that govern
ment publication impudently copyrighted by the
eminent anfi-imperiaIist and boyle hunter James
D. Richardson be might be somewhat surprised
TO learn what the Monroe Doctrine was. In the
first place, il did not tell the rulers OF Europe
that the New World was prohibited TO them.
Instead it specifically declared: with the
s'existing colonies or dependencies of any Euro
pe3n power we DkNt not anu sndll
s.not interfere" It merely said that American
governments which had established their indie
pendence should not be interfered with by
combination OF European powers, and that we
should regard any such attempt las dangerous
TO our peace and safety" and las the mani
Hesitation OF an unfriendly disposition toward
1.-The United States" The message even went
so far as 10 say that in the war between the
new republics and Spain we had been and ex-
rected TO remain neutral 1t was only the
threatened aggression of the Holy Alliance with
which we took issue. While thus declaring
against European Intervention In what Were
rurely American affairs, with which the Holy
Alliance had no proper business, Mr.. Monroe in
turn gave this pledge: "Our policy in regard to
sEurope which was adopted at an early stage
ssof the wars which have so long agitated that
"ouarfer Of the globe nevertheless remains the
s'ssme which is not TO interfere in the internal
s'eoncerns of any Of fits powers" If DIR. Sehur-
man thinks that means the same as 1--WE Yolun-
"tarily renounce for ourselves the policy or
lamentations in Europe, Asia, Africa or Aus
..Ialia." he needs some primary instruction In
the use OF the English language. pledge OF
non-interference with the internal concerns Of
Europe is something as different from renuncia-
uon OF annexation, not merely in Europe, but in
