TIE MONROE DOCTRINE.

The things that made the Monroe
doctrine have disappeared. Under such
circumstances it may be easy after
awhile for us to look over the Monroe
doctrine again in the light of the pres
ent situation of the American continent
and Of our present necessities. We Will
certainly not abandon it; but we may
find, if nobody is opposing us, that per
haps its extension quite so far beyond
the original purpose of Mr.. Monroe and

Naples, Aug. 26.-The people of
iNaplesand the environs witnessed a
remarkable spectacle at noon today.
| One thousand feet below the central
cone of Vesuvius, the volcano open
ed like huge mouth, out of which
belcbed a fiery stream of lava,
which ran down the side of ths
noun tain, and at first seemed to
menace tie observatory. This
building, however, is protected in
the direction of the stream by
mound of lava 20 feet high, which
was thrown out during the erup
lions of 1895 and 1900.
The eruption occurred without
any warning whatever of the earth
quake, detonation or rain of ashes.
There was nothing but a clear
stream of lava and red hot stones,
which were thrown to a height OF
700 feet, producing an extremely
beautiful effect seen from Naples.
The stream of lava which is Is
feet broad, at II o'clock had covered
distance of 27oo feet. 1t deviat-
ed later from the direction of the
observatory, which is no longer
mepaced. The only danger is for
the new electric tramway near the
volcano, which, however, has not
thus far been touched. The erup-
ton already seems to be decreasing
and it is hoped that no damage will
result from it.
The spectators far enough away
not to be frightened stood entranced
at the spectacle, but those nearer to
the volcano were seized by panic
when the eruption began and rush
ed down from the sides Of the
mountain and from the adjacent
country TO the villages of Portiei
and Resina, which are built over
the ruins of Herculaneum. The
alarm in these villages was some
what quieted by the mayor af6xing
notices declaring that there was no
danger.
The chief,of police of Naples has
gone personally to make tour of
the villages under Vesuvious, in
order to reassure the peasants and
Isuperintend any measures of pro-
lection which may be deemed ne
cessary. The superstitious lower
classes are agitating for the expul-
sion of Professor Krull, of Munich,
who predicted the eruption, declar-
ling that he has the "evil eye"

Council Bluffs, To-, Aug. 26.-
Two clondbursts, one at $50 this
afternoon and the other at $50 to-
night, have DESTROYED hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of prop.
erty in this city. The storm at s.:
80 turned the streets of the city in
TO torrents, and hundreds of famil-
les in the lower districts were re-
moved from their homes with diff.
Guilty. Many business houses were
flooded by the first storm, and the
damage to stocks will amount to
thousands.
The storm at $50 raised the wa
ter higher than the one earlier in
the evening and many stocks that
were not touched by the first flood
have been badly damaged, SO that
the loss in this city alone is now es-
timated at half million dollars.
The rainfall here for the "a hours
ending at midnight will amount to
six inches.
Onawa reported 4.75 inches at
noon, with all streams out of their
banks and rain still falling.
The Northwestern Railroad is

THE POPE AND THE WORLD.

From the New York Tribune.
 We do not say the gulf between Pro- testantism and Catholicism has been brdged or even that It's width and depth has been lessened. Leo himself empha- sized its continued existence and signiti- canoe in his almost contemptuous and wholly crushing rejection of the English ritualsts' somewhat abject plea for re- cognltion at his hands. But we may at least hope that those who stand on the opposite sides of that gulf will hereaf- ter regard each other in a changed and more favorable light. Methodists and Baptists and other Protestants will scarcely forget that they have prayed for a pope of Rome. not as for an erring sinner that he might be converted from the evil of his ways. but as for a great and good man that he might be spared for further usefulness in the world. It Is not likely that the Roman Catholic church will be permitted to forget if it would, that it has regarded such pray CTS with grateful appreciation, and that those who under Leo x were cursed as heretics doomed to perdition were in the last days of Leo XIII officially recog- nized as Christian churches. The gulf may remain. But the messages which cross and reeross 1t have been radically revised for the better, and thus the world will hope they will remain.

Revenue Reduction Improbable.

The surplus government revenue of the fiscal year just ended was fifty three millions. against ninety-two mil lions in the previous year. The vast increase in imports enabled the gov ernment to show greater surplus by at least twenty millions than had been anticipated. We imported for exam pie, in the year just ended jewelry and precious stones to the value of nearly thirty-one million dollars, and altogether there was an increase in imports to the extent of one hundred and thirteen million dollars. Pros perity of the boom sort did it.
 But the demand for the reduction of taxation will not be met. Both branches of congress are republican, and if there Is one thing the republi- cans all desire it is an absence of tariff agitation and discussion before the holding of the next presidential election All the republican leaders will unite in inducing congress to stand pat on the present revenue schedules. All attempts at tariff re- form will be drowned down. All pro- positions looking to tax reductions wlll be pigeon-holed, simply be- cause Dingleyism cannot be defended, and yet must be maintained until after the presidential election Other wise there would be a lack of cam paign funds.
 Among other excuses for delay we will be told that the Panama canal Is to be built, and that it would be bet ter to build 1t from surplus revenues llan from bonds. As matter of fact it would be better for the tariff bene- ficiaries, but not for the consumers. who are compelled by Dingleyism to hand over to private pockets ten dol lars for every one that goes into the treasury. The day will come when such robbery will be ended. but it will never come while the republican party is left in power.

Women In Church Work.

Every one will concede that women are much more active In religious work as rule. than men," said a man who attends services regularly. "and I have long thought that women should have office in church organizations. I have been much interested In a discussion that has been going on in the New York papers touching this subject
 "A day or two ago a woman submitted these pertinent remarks through the columns of the New York Sun:
 It Is quite time that every woman engaged in church work should take a stand against the present unjust condi- tions Women fill the pews. do the church work and give and raise large part of the money expended under the auspices of the church. yet they are per- mitted to hold no posts of responsibility in church councils or finances Such im- portant matters as a change of name of the church are discussed and settled by the men. with an utter indifference to the wishes of the greater body of women

coraeous Sunsets.

People talk great deal about the sun sets in Italy and in other Mediterranean countries" said visitor, "but don't see how It Is possible to have more beautiful sunsets than you have right here in Jones valley. I have been taking especial notice for several days since 1 came here ana some of the most gorgeous combinations of colors have ever seen have been dis played There Is nothing equal to sun set for beauty any way. For one who watches them they are never the same, but always are revealing some new gran deur of color scheme. none of which can ever be successfully initiated by the artist

The Stock Market.

The financial Age of Saturdays date says:
 'rhe source of the buying and the sell ing affords a striking example of how sentiment of even experienced stock mar ket operators undergoes a complete change within a comparatively short time. When the market was 20 to 30 points above the present values the so-called western crowd who had undertaken the somewhat difficult task of revolutionizing Wall street methods were the heaviest buyers of all the leading issues. From last summer until the early winter they absorbed, in all several hundred thou sand shares, and were outspolxen in pre- dieting a higher level for the entire list
 "The chief sellers at that time were prominent banking interests who fed the new element with all the stock they would take. Now however the former bulls in an endeavor to recoup a part Of their heavy losses have apparently reversed their market position while the their holdings and actually went short of the market besides are now quietly ab- sorbing the shares of the leading rail- road aud industrial properties. Whatever that the attitude of the conservatives Is and has been for the past year the more logical one"

Cuba's Power to Borrow.

Cuba Is endeavoring to place loan of $35,000, ,000, and she proposes to open negotiations in both this country and Europe. This brings up an inter esting question. For the second arti- cle of the Platt amendment reads as follows: That said government (of Cuba) shall not issue or contract any public debt to pay the interest upon which, and to make reasonable sink ing fund provisions for the ultimate discharge of which, the ordinary rev enue of the island, after defraying the current expenses of the government shall be inadequate"
 True, the Platt amendment does not say how a decision shall be reached sn case a dispute arises over the ade- quacy of the Cuban revenue touching loan, but the fair presumption is, this country Is to be the judge, be- cause this country imposed the condi- ton upon Cuba. Beyond all question congress intended, when it passed the Platt amendment, to give this country supervisory authority over Cuba's | debt-creating powers. There would be no sense in the article quoted unless this be its fair and just construction and it Is said President Roosevelt proposes to exercise the veto power of this country. if any attempt is made to place the loan or any part of it in Europe, and he may prohibit the plac- ing of the loan even in this country.
 Another question involved relates to the power of the President in the case, many holding that congress is the true and only authority, and that CO., gross must affirmatively act before valid bonds can be issued by Cuba. Cuba seems to be inclined to go ahead regardless of action in this country, and thus an issue is presented full of interest both to this country and to Cuba We are in fact responsible, for Cuban action without the power to regulate it. To this complexion has Tellerism brought us to nt last.
