W. L. Parker and little son Her.

They talked about 20 and 30 and i0-pound fish in just common, everyday lan- guage and without a blush. The redeeming feature, however is that lhev are inviting friends to come out and dine with them. Alex. Pa ton went down with the party last week. but only remained over night. Ii is not stated whether this was that he did not like fishing or that the mosquitoes were too numerous.

Dr. Evans, Ex-Commissioner of Health, says: "There is almost no relation be- tween skin diseases and the blood" The skin must be cured through the skin. The germs must be washed out, and so salves have long ago been found worth less The most advanced physicians of this country are now agreed on this, and are prescribing a wash of wintergreen, thymol and other ingredients for eczema and all other skin diseases.

WHAT THE DOCTRINE IS.

There appears to be good deal OF
confusion in the public mind as to
what the Monroe doctrine is, so much
so that we find the Washington Post
coutemptuously speaking Of 1T IN the
following vein: "Concisely stated the
Monroe doctrine is one that we inter
pret as we please, and let no other
nation interpret at all -
That makes of the Monroe doctrine
mere buccaneering proposition; but
the American people are not buccaneers
and thev do not consider the Monroe
doctrine q buccaneering proposition in
any sense but straightforward pro-
tective proposition, both as to the in
teresis of the United States in the
Western Hemisphere and TO the weaker
republics of Central and South America
guarding them against piratical aggrcs-
sions on the part Of European monar-
chies.
We have in the pursuance Of the
Republic from pillage on the part of
creditor peoples in Europe, Tho finan.
cial agent which the United States
maintains in Santo Domingo has been
able to scale down the debt Of that
Republic to less than half Of the pre-.
posterous claims made and prepared for
enforcement, and our agent there, the
collector Of the customs revenues, Is
collecting these revenues honestly and
applying them effectively to tho pay

READY TO QUIT ROAD.

1t has been stated for number
of years that the Mcllcn railroad sys
TEN in New England has been financed
by the firm Of ]. P. Morgan & Co
A good deal of criticism has been made
Of the Morgan company by reason of
its alleged practical control of the
road. and it has been fairly said that
bankers are all right in their place
but that place is not in the manage
ment and operation Of railroads. The
series of mishaps that caused the res
ignation of Mr.. Melen justified the
criticism; and now it appears that the
banking firm Of J. P, Morgan & Co
will withdraw as the financial agents
Of that railroad system. There is no
reason, Of course, why the Morgan
banking firm should not be the financial
agents of that road but since the idea
bankers control the management and
operation of the road, it is probably
better all around for the Morgan firm
to sever its connection.
The terrible accident reported n few
days ago was the second on this road
within short time. The testimony
developed in the inquiry into this dis
aster showed an amazing lack Of care
in the running Of the trains, and n
shocking license for the train crews to
do about as they pleased. without re-
gard for instructions or warnings. Tn
fact, 1t was explicitly testified to that
engineers and conductors were accus-
toned to use their own Judgment as
to whether they would heed the sig
mails or not. This is something that
ought to be absolutely impossible in
any railroad system; and vet it was
the custom on that road, according to
the testimony. That old practice seems
to have been injected into the new
management Of President Elliott. Mr.
Elliott came from the Hill railroad
system Of the Northwest. and is guar.
anteed TO be a man Of very superior
executive and administrative ability,
II appears that he had already got an
inkling of the carclessness of the rail
road crews. and that before receiving
any word from anybody as TO the con
ditious under which the road was being
operated. he ordered the installing of

THE TuAW COMEDY.

world was assured of speedy action and

and would be deported Immediately, as
such, to the United States, whence he
came. And so the country awaited
with much interest to see with what
vigor, promptness, and regularity OF
procedure Thaw would be dealt with by
the Canadian authorities.
But we see on the part Of the Can
adam officials quite the same old i'm
potence for quick action that we arc
accustomed to In the United States. We

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

The plan for the development Of tho
alunite deposits in Piute county, as
fully described in The Tribune Of Thurs
day morning, was great business fea-
ture Of the week just past, The pro-
ducts Of the alunite were definitely
stated, and the gentlemen who are en-
gagged in this exploration are putting
UP their own money with every indica-
tion of making an immense success of
the venture. The alunite deposits were
primarily located for the potash carried
in them, but other products can be had,
which were fully set forth, and are
likely to be largely profitable, The en-
terprise bids fair to give Utah one of
the great potash producing plants Of
the world.
During the week the Pacific Land
& Water Company, Of which prominent
Salt Lake men are stockholders, COM
pleted the purchase Of seventeen sec
tions in the northwest portion of Box
Elder county for $350,000. The com
pany already owned tbirty-sevcn sec
tions in Box Elder and running over
into Cassia county, Idaho. The new
purchase gives it fiftyfour sections in
all. The land is to be sold to farmers,
and is said to be tho best dry farming
land that there is. Water is found at
shallow depths, and there arc large
number of wells, the water from which
is pumped by gasoline engines. The
land is sold to farmers in tracts to suit
the buyer, and marvellous accounts are
given of raising enough alfalfa and
alfalfa seed, even the first season, TO
pay for the land and leave good
profit besides. The town of Druehl is
located centrally in this large tract,
and bids fair to become thriving point
Of trade. The particulars are carried
in the local columns Of The Tribune this
morning
The coming week is to be enlivened
by the convention Of the street car
employees, delegates to which are com.
ing for the biennial meeting from all
points of America. The convention
will assemble tomorrow morning. and il
promises to be the most important con.
vention in the history Of the orgaui.
