The Monroe Doctrine.
Its Curious Ease of Application in an
EmergenCy

Its Curious Ease Of Application in an
EmergenCy.
The recent developments in Santo
Domingo prove once Iaore what has
been proved several times before this.
that however much the Monroe Doc
trine may be laughed at by some po-
litical theorists. and however archaic
and impossible it may be considered
by them, il comes in as handy, on oc-
casion, as the rule of three. 1t is
one of those political conventions
which haze been evolved by circum-
stances, and may justly be laid to the
workings Of fate through the agency
OF enc James Monroe.
In the present mixed up condition
OF affairs in Santo Domingo there is
material for a very pretty interna-
tional quarrel, the business of several
European countries being concerned.
IN an infinitesimal degree, with the
fortunes of more or less unstable
and unbusinesslike republic With
out the Monroe Doctrine it is entire
~ possible that unpleasant bicker-
ing, TO put it mildly, might arise
from the little disputes about prece-
dence which naturally arise where
several countries, each jealous of the
others power, have claims which
must be settled somehow. It would
certainly be disagreeable, to say the
least, to have a quarrel of that sort
going on in our front dooryard.
1t is so obviously the easy and APP
propriate and labor-saving thing for
the United States to assume guar
dianship over the disturbed island
long enough 10 warn other people off,
that some Of the wiseaeres seem to
worry for fear it is too easy. and too
appropriate, and too tempting, and
we are in danger CT acquiring more
colonial possessions than we can
manage But there is little danger OF
that The Monroe Doctrine is an
elastic kind OF a thing, and il is not
a synonym for grab. II is safe to say
that a majority of the Congress OF
the United States would never favor
the acquisition Of an unlimited mum
Der OF tropical colonies unless the
reasons for such acquisition were
stronger than they appear TO be now
We must, for many reasons, take
care that no other power steps in tt
regulate the housekeeping Of Santc
Domingo, but we are not obliged tC
settle her problems ourselves.
Fifty or sixty years ago there was
a reason why some of the strong men
Of this country desired to extend our
empire 20 the south; under the slave
regime the West Indian Islands could
have been made profitable. and tn,
power of the slaveholding States i'm
mensely Increased. Nobody knows
just how far this plan. il successful
might have been carried. or whar
consequences it might have had Blu
that day is past. At no future time
can prosperity in the West Indies b,
built up save by slow. patient, intel
liReRt cooperation between the ma
tives and American capital; and e
this end a tacit protection, a limited
control, is much more effective thar

An Attack on Shiloh.

The Holy Chest and Us Society N
Maine.
Things have recently been getting
rather warm for the Rev Frank w
Sanford up on the Maine hill he calls
Shiloh. and the newest assault upon
his fortress OF cant and superstition
is not calculated to make life any the
easier for him. It is a legal battery
that mas opened upon him this time.

ment depends the security Of the
whole establishment of The Holy
Ghost and Us

years ago Pred G. McGregor, OF Low
ell. gave Mr.. Sanford . pair Of
white horses and chariot. with
which the prophet Travelled about
New England, dis51rsing the doc
trine OF the Everlasting Gospel
and adding to his store OF shekels.
NcGregor also sold his home and
handed the proceeds over to Shiloh,
With the understanding that he
sho2ld have cottage there for his
permanent home. Bat when the
time came Sandford declined TO give
the family the home. on the ground
that Mrs. McGregor was an Habe-
lever. McGregor stuck to his faulily,
but got no money back And now
that the horses that were to have
done the Lords work on the hilltop
have been sold to the Philistines.
McGregor has entered suit to recover
his property.

the fight is Of Importance because il
