The Monroe Doctrine
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of Eat Good Old siUnsh.7

1.-THE Monroe Doctrihe, which is
keeping the United States in an
\ apprehcnsive and slecpless condi-
ton today was invented by president
Monroe about hundred years ago
when the United States was so small
that il couldn't afford to be afraid Of
anything on earth
At that time il was feared that the
great powers of Europe might edge in
on the American continent in such q
manner as to make good deal Of un-
| necessary croWding. President Monroe
/ realized that great power with a
standing army only two jumps from
our devoted frame might be hard to
J reason with ana cOnciliate and he ac-
cOrdingly announced that while both
Americas We're excellent grazing ter
ritOry. Europe was cordially invited to
keep off the grass.
This caused a great deal of i'll feel
ing at the time, but the & Dung United
States had an excellent navy, plenti-
fully supplied with grape, minus the
Juice and the suggestions were un-
animousiy adopted. In the sixties while
Uncle Sam was very busy elsewhere,
France seized Mexico under the i'm
preston that it was picking up
kingdom instead of a tarantula The
results were so dicouraSinS that no
great power has fooled around in these
parts since.
L is now thought by many that the
United States has grown so large and
prosperous that it would be a shame TO
imperil any dividends keeping up the
Monroe Doctrine or any other doctrine
except the art Of getting under the bed
in time Of trouble. 1t is declared that
in the interests of peace and good Will
we should abandon this doctrine and
resort to prayer in case OF invasion.
There are many reasons why this is
excellent advice. In the first place, the
South American countries are big

A lot of US friends of that Prince of
Good Fellows, Thos. McHenry, went
with him to Meridian last Sunday even
ing to assist him, il necessary, in de-
Tending the charge brought against
him in the United States court. I am
glad to say, though, that this was en-
tirely unnecessary, for as soon as the
Hon. Joe George, the efficient U. S.
district attorney acquainted himself
with the facts in the case. he told Judge
Niles that he was satisfied that there
nothing in it and asked to be allowed
to mol pros the case, which he did on
last Tuesday morning. This was very
gratifying to US all and we came home
in great glee. We were also glad to
learn sub rosa that the grand jury
failed to find an indictment against
young Moseley Jackson, so these two
little troublesome cases were finally
disposed Of. The government had lost
no money in either case, and as both
cases were caused more from careless
ness than from any desire to defraud
the government. am sure the action of
the officials and grand jury will be
heartily approved of by all.
We had jolly time while in Meri-
dian, meeting old friends, and especially
that worthy old confederate and vete-
ran legislator, Col. q. M. Street. He
is full Of life and vigor. and while he
takes his defeat philosophically he feels
so well that he says had he been elected
he would have rounded out the century
mark. I told him to get ready to serve
the people in the constitutional conven-
tion that l was pretty sure would be
called for next summer. No man in
the state would make an ablermember
of that body than Col. Street.

our leader, the peerless Charlton Alex

side. But Joe tells me he has kinder
