A New View of the Monroe Doctrine.

An American Business Man asks, in the
April number of the North American
Review, a question which will attract
some attention. The question is Is the
Monroe Doctrine Bar to Civilization"
The writer has lived for many years in
one of the South American Republics,
where he has quite extensive interests.
He gives an interesting description OF the
various classes of people who inhablt
these republics, and he characterizes the
ruling class as being composed OF adgen-
turers, ambitious and unprincipled mill
tary men, many outright criminals and
others whose bves have been devoted to
intrigue; taken all together, the most az
gresslve, pretentious, COOL for-nOthng,
nondescript, villainous, tire acherous set OF
semi-banditti ever organ zed on the face
OF the earth. According to an American
Business Man, no limit can be set to the
outrages committed by these men. Mel
Their lie nor property is safe under their
rule; and little consideration is shown
for the rights OF foreigners who do bust
ness there, the rulers feeling confden.
that, if the governments of these foreign
ers should interpose in defence of their
rights, the United States would take
their part. An American Business Man
lauds the Kaiser:
THE United States should adopt a
sane and practical policy, consonant
with the requirements OF modern civiliza-
ton. Whether it acts alone, or in con-
junction with other Powers, is imma-
terial The important thing is that sta
bility and security should take the place
of anar chy, Oscillation. and destruction
Until that is done, there can be no per.
manent peace upon the earth. Every SEES
sion OF Congress will witness calls for
additional naval appropriations, with
the undisgused intention OF making
cause with the banditt OF
Sou b America against those great and
civilized Powers with whom we chiefly
trade, who are related to us by ties of
blood, literature, religion and commerce.
and whose friendship we ought not
lightly throw away. Such a war would
cover with eternal intamy the admins
tration responsible for it, and would
make blot on the fair page of American
history which time could never efface.
That sane and intelligent Americans cap
talk OF possible war with England or
Germany on such an issue, is one OF those
things which can only be
explained on the hypothesis Of inexcusa-
bic and criminal ignorance. 1t is incon-
ceivable that any respectable American,
conversant with the facts, could do other
than applaud the German Emperor, who
is doing SO much towards making it
possible for a white man to exist in these
countries, without the necessity OF hav-
ing squadron OF warships or an army,
at hand to protect him from plumber or
assassination. l only voice the senti
mJnts OF every American business man
who has ever invested dollar in these
countries, when | tervently say: More
power to his strong right arm -"

Progress of the SimpIon Tunnel.

OF the rapidity with which the stipend
Gus project of tunneling the Alps beneath
the Simplon pass is being pressed Consul
Richmond Pearson, the newly appointed
minister to Persia rom whom Hobson
of Merrjmac fame, derives his name),
gives interesting testimony. He says:
"The work is proceeding rapidly in the
tunnel on both sides of the Alps; about
1000 workman are employed in the tun'
mel, and not less than 5000 on the 1tal-
ian section of the road between Isella, at
the mouth OF the tunnel, and Aroma, the
present terminus of the railway running
north from Milan. 1t is now practically
certain that the road will be completed
within the estimated time that is to
say, by July l, 19O5-as nearly two
thirds OF the tunnel was finished on July
1, 1902, and the worst obstacles have
already been met and mastered. The
greatest OF the impediments was the ever
increasing heat in the tunnel, caused by
the growing volume of water which,
although it starts at the summit of the
mountain, 5000 feet above the line of
railway, after percolating through beds
of limestone, beomes almost boiling hot
and flows into the tunnel at a tempera
ture OF from 10 degrees to 40 degrees,
rendering not only work but life impos-
slble without resort to artificial means
of refrigeration. The engineer, by turn
ing cold air on hot air and cold water on
hot water, has reduced the temperature
in the tunnel from 140 to 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. The volume Of water flow
ing out of the south end of the tunnel is
$4,000 gallons a minute and furnishes

The Coyote and the Praying Bug.

The Rutland Herald is greatly worried
over the situation in st. Johnsbury and
wonders where we get our liquor supply
now. One week it referred to the thirsty
throng that had been hanging around
the drug stores since the town voted
no license, lard now it asks in all serious
ness how the people get along who used
to consume 100 gallons of diluted alco-
hol every week. The Herald's persistent
attempt to smirch the reputation of our
fair town reminds us of legend which
has been told by father to son for many
generations among the Mok Indians
OF New Mexico
Once the coyote was out for walk
when he charced to meet praying bug.
Now this bug, You must know, has
this popularity in her gait that she puts
her head to the ground every time she
advances a step. The coyote watched
her walk with much curiosity until at
last the following conversation took
place.
"Amoya, what makes you duck your
head like that when you walk
II am listening to the gods, Coyote"
What is it the gods just said to you,
Amoya?"
THE last thing the gods said to me,
Coyote, was How strange it is that Co,
votes can't mind their own business"

Hanna and the Presidency.

Senator Hanna has declined the pres
dency. He was implor,d to give his
friends permission to 60 ahead and secure
the republican nomination for him in

request. All this took place about six
months ago. MIR. Hanna was in New
York for the purpose OF taking a yacht.

able that the ocean voyage was cut
short, and the senator from Ohio for the
first time in many years, had few days
leisure on his hands. He improved the
opportunity to renew acquaintance with
quite number OF his old friends in Goth
am. Among them were the biggest
hnanclers and corporation managers in
the country. Almost every one OF these
men asked Mr.. Hanna to stand tor the

people OF the country do not want Roose-

good qualities, but they do not trust his
Judgment. We live in constant fear that
he will involve the country in trouble.
There is just one man who can defeat the
president for the nomination. You are
he. If you will consent to make the
stand we will throw all our influence IN
your favor. II you are nominated, we
will elect you. If the president is nom
mated for seco1d term, and the DEM

Secretary Olney, we may be compelled, IN
self defence, o support The democratic
candidate. We are not afraid OF DEM
ocratic president, because the senate, and
probably the house, will remain republl-
can for some years TO coma, But II you
will make the race, the business men OF
the United States will feel content within

of election. The president is not sure.

this promise to Roosevelt when Roose

The Brattleboro Phoenix is right in its
criticism OF the meagre appropriation
for our fish and game interests which is
only $4,000 year, but it is discouraging
work to make our lawmakers take a

1t is safe to say that the change in the
condition of fishing at Caspian Lake,
brought about largely by the attention

/ During this afternoon the cable
steamer Silyertown will begin unload

Of the deep sea quality, being about
four-fifths of an inch in thickness.
This morning the Silvertown was
hauled down to the mauka end of the
larger of the railroad wharves and dur
ing the forenoon all preparations were
made for the transferring of the long
line OF cable.
The first end Of the cable. which was
lying on the deck, was covered with
canvas in order TO preserve the rubber
coating from melting in the sun. This
end will be run by hand over to the
cable tank shed, where It will be put
over drum which is made to revolve
by an electric motor
The cable will pass over several
wheels along the vessels deck and will
then pass down over the bow of the
steamer and ashore.
On the land end, five or six poles are
being erected. These are furnished
with cross-pieces over which the cable
will run. These cross-pieces are so
high above the ground that the o. X.
& l.. Co.'S engines, which are constant
ly running to and from the railroad
wharf carrying freight from the vessels
lying there, can pass without incon-
venience under the cable while it is
being transferred.
Over the cement cable tank which
has been sunk in the ground is a plat
form covered with a shed. On this plat
form Is a drum over which the cable
passes and thence through trap door
in the floor of the platform into the
cable tank itself, where men coil II up
In neat roll The drum over which
the, cable passes Is furnished with a
still jockey wheel, which prevents the
cable from rising mp.
The officers of the Silvertown eX-
pect that the transferring of the cable
will take about a day or two When
this work is finished the Silvertown
will be hauled out in the stream, where
she will lie until she receives further
orders from England.
