THE MoSRoE DOCTRINE,

President Rooseyclt's reference to.
and definition Of the Monroe doctrine.
may be regarded as timely, in view OF
the fact that, Notwithstanding the doc
trine has often been explained. there IL
diversity OF opinion as TO its true in
tent and purpose,
London papers, for instance, are said
TO take the view that the Monroe doc
trine protects British interests on the
American continent, from absorption by
European powers. They think that.
should any European country encroach
upon territory here. the United States
would be bound. by the Monroe doc
trine. TO interfere In behalf ~ Great
Britain. That, evidently. is giving an
Interpretation thereof not intended. At
least. II has not been so interpreted
here.
President Roosevelt states the doc
trine. He says Il is a declaration OF
'thc principle that this continent must
not be treated as such for political
colonization by any European power"
In other words. Il closes these contl-
nents against political colonization
schemes, Just as Europe Is closed for
such purposes. Africa may yet be col.
onized and divided but not America, II
does not mean that there can be no po-
litical changes in the map II does not
entail upon us the duty Of maintaining
the status quo. Il does no, bind us to
defend the possessions OF Great Britain.
But II does mean that this country win
see to It. that European monarchies are
not set up here. at the expense of the
countries already established.
Spain has been driven away from
Cuba. and Porto Rico has been annexed
10 the United States, Notwithstanding
the Monroe doctrine The United States
Is no more bound 10 defend British in
terests here than Il was to maintain
the status quo with regard to Spain.
That proposition shSild be self-evldent.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The figures OF the Interstate Com
merce commission, covering railroad
accidents In this country for the first
three months OF the present year, show
total number OF passengers killed
during that period, OF 2i2, and injured
Eli. This Is surprisingly small
number, considering the millions OF
passengers carried, amounting to over
6O0.00O,000 a year, Railroad travelling
may well be considered as safe as any
mode Of travelling can be made
In the case Of the employees Of the
roads, the danger Is considerably great
err Including the accidents met with
by these. and by persons getting on
and of the cars, the total OF accidents
Is given as io225, OF which se5 were
fatal.
The greatest number of accidents
were due TO collisions and derailments.
The latter were caused either by de-
fects In the roadway or In the equip
ment. CT from negligence There were
few derailments from malicious OBJ
struction Of the tracks, and some from
unknown causes.
The encouraging feature Of the sta
tislics Is this, that the number of ac-
oidents seems to be on the decrease.
The accidents for the three months
preceding the first quarter OF this year.
were HOS with SlS fatal cases. and the
number for the preceding quarter was
still greater II looks as IL the tally
kept by the commission had the ef-
feet OF making the railroads more care
full in handling the number Of lives en-
trusted To their care.

Another instance of successful prott-

Ash, California, which has enjoyed
twenty years Of progress.
This colony was founded in 1881 by
one Andrea Sharboro. for the benefit OF
Italian immigrants. The funds we're

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Our London contemporaries discover
a significance In the presidents decla-
ration regardin gthe Monroe doctrine,
which pleases them nightly. inasmuch
as they assume that the doctrine pro-
tects the British possessions In the
western hemisphere from absorption by
q European power. Senator Depew.
who returned recently from London,
said that he found John Bull an en-
thusiastic champion Of our cherished
doctrine. because. in the opinion OF tina
British statesmen foreign powers which
attack British possessions In North
America would be called to account by
the United States.

HOLES in THE AIR.

Some very terrible accidents may be
expected to befall aerial navigators
should airships ever become sufficiently
perfected to make this species of travel
at all common, owing to the fact, well
known to all aeronauts, that there eX-
list in the earth's atmosphere at certain
places and under certain conditions
veritable holes or pits of vast depth.
An airship sailing unwittingly into one
of these aerial craters would sink with
Far more certainty and far greater
swiftness than would a leaden ship of
the same size and shape in an ocean of
water.
Accidents of this nature have actually
happened to aeronauts in the past, but,
of course, the ordinary balloon is not
nearly so much affected by the sudden
descent as an airship would be. Never
theless, an experience of the kind is
sufficiently disconcerting even to the
stoutest hearts and strongest nerves.
NJ. Tissandier, ballooning with two
friends above the town of Vincennes,
some years ago. happened on one of
these invisible air holes, which proved
to be over a mile in depth, the balloon
falling that distance with such incredi-
BILE rapidity that the earth appeared to
be rushing up to meet them with the
speed of an express train, and the bags
of ballast thrown out by the alarmed
travellers fell not downward, as might
have been expected, but upward. Luck
lily denser stratum of air, answering
to the bottom of the pit in question
was encountered when they were few
hundred feet from the ground, and the
downward rush of the balloon was
checked as if by contact with a pneu-
matte cushion.-Pearson's Weekly.
