Since the- McKinley administra tion has started out on the xpan- Bion programme some of its sup 11 porters assume that while we reach out and appropriate territory far -ttistsntfrom our own borders, and f separated from it by thousands of Vjniles of sea, either by purchase or conquest or by both, no foreign na tion has a right to come on to this 4 hemisphere to seek the possession of anything in any way. We may buy islands in any of the seas if we de sire, objection to which by any ', other power we would not recog ' nize, while if they attempted to do the same on this hemisphere it .'would be construed as an evidence of ''unfriendliness to this country." Some of them go even further " and construe the establishment of Ger man colonies .in Brazil as against and a violation of the Monroe doc trine. The inference 'from this is that while individual immigrants may come and settle in that country no objection would be made to it, but if they come in numbers or settle in localities where they may become numerous that would be practically nullifying the Monroe doctrine. These gentlemen are putting up a good deal of bother for themselves , and a good deal for this country if it acts upon their conception of what . the Monroe Doctrine means. Upon a rational construction it simply . mans that no European Govern ment shall be permitted to interfere . with any of the Republics on this -hemisphere with a view to getting control of them, directly or indi rectly. The inspiration behind that movement came more from the idea of self-protection than from any in terest in the Central or South American countries. It was the same inspiration that brought about , the purchase of Louisiana and Flor ida, which were close enough, to be a menace if they remained in Euro pean possessions For half a century there has been more or less immigration into the .countries south of us. Thousands of Italians have settled in Buenos , Ay res and Brazil. A third of the population of the City of Buenos Ayres, a city of 300,000 people, are Italians. They control the most of the business of the place, and have over $100,000,000 invested in the business and enterprises of that city. , There has been considerable Irish im migration into Chili, which may ac count in part at least for the pug nacity of the people on that strip of i land. There has been a large immi gration of both Italians and Ger mans into Brazil,' now numbering something more than 400,000, with their families. This is what seems to'have aroused the suspicions of those modern Monroe Doctrine champions, who profess to see behind these German Brazilians some deep laid'scheme of the hustling and ambitious-Kaiser, to extend his domin ion over that great country. This scheme, as their figuring makes it, is to put Germans enough into Brazil to eventually get control of the country and convert it into a dependency of Germany. This does not mean that they must have more Germans than natives there, because with the activity, perseverance and self -reliance of the resourceful' and progressive German, one -of them would be equal to a dozen or more of. the slow-going, indolent and slugvX aiKThi ; gish natives, just as a handful of Americans were able to to overcome - the unsophisticated brownies in the A;, r .Hawaiian islands, overthrew tne .

The immigration into the other countries south of us never caused any alarm; the immigration of Italians never did, and it was not until the thrifty Germans began to mtdtiply n organized colonies that any ob action waa made to them.

The Germans are catching on to it, and the Monroe doctrine isn't in J it in any way. -They go there just as they come to this country, settle in communities just as they do in this country, for thus they have as sociation which is necessary for the society-loving German. And that's what they call the col onies that the Kaiser is planning to use as the'instruments to carry out his schemesin that quarter of the world. The Kaiser has probably about as much influence over the Germans in Brazil as he has over the Germans in this x country, which is none at all, so there is no'" occasion to become alarmed about the Mon roe doctrine. It simply isn't in it in this case. v'- ROCKEFELLER ON SUCCESS. The following is an, extract , from John D. Rockef eller's address to the students of the Chicago University : So much has beqn said of late on the subject of success that I forbear mak ing particular ''. suggestions, v The chances for success are - better to day than ever before. Success is attained by industry, perseverance and pluck, coupled with any . amount of hard work:, and you- need not expect to achieve it in any other way. - r . --f; Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Carnegie and others who have amassed large fortunes, hold out the .'idea that their success has been the ' result of hard work, but make little refer ence to the circumstances which favored them. That they have worked hard may not be denied, but we venture the assertion that the hardest work that any of them ever did in his life was in . forming the combinations that gave them a monopoly of the business they fol lowed. ) John D. Rockefeller and his asso ciates secured possession of oil wells where nature furnished, the oil, and all they had to do was . to pump it out or catch it and put it upon the market. They continued to add to their wells until they secured enough to control the oil business and make their own prices. Having a monopoly of an article used in near- ly every household in the land, and shipping immense, quantities to other countries, millions came to them and they got rich rthey could n't help it unless they gave their stun! away. Carnegie was in a business which was favored by a protective tariff which gave it a monopoly of the home iron and steel market. With his combination he established great plants that swallowed the smaller ones, and then put its own prices on the products of its mills. With its monopoly, the vast quantity of steel and iron coQumedT 1ft this and in other countries, and making its own prices, which carried with them enormous profits, the Carnegie Com pany made millions, just as natur ally as a snowbalL rolling down hill gathers snow. They worked; of course they worked. They worked the public named the tribute and the public had to pay it. While they undoubt edly had a talent for the business they were engaged in, they owe their success more to the favoring conditions under which they worked, and to the combinations formed, than to their hard work. ARRAHT ROT. The Republican platform makers presume on the credulity or on the stupidity of t-he masses of the people 'and consequently their platforms always abound more or less in rot that is intended to humbug the voter by pretended especial interest I in the man" who earns his living by is daily labor. The following is a plank from the platform - adopted by the Ohio Republican contention which was engineered byf Mark Hanna: "Tariff schedmles which fill protect American labor against tha low wages paid foreign labor must beraaintained. We reaffirm alldeclaratittas heretofore made by the Republican party in favor of reciprocity and argethe making of such additional treaties based on the protective principles ss will further ex tend our commerce." . Mark Hanna has said there must be no interference with the Dingley tariff, that thje American workman mast beii!fotected from the com petition of low priced foreign labor. What rot. It has been admitted, times without 'number :that. ; whili the wages paia in Europe are nomi nally lower than the "vages paid ill this country the Amercan work man receives less . pay, taking into consideration the service he renders and the character "of work he does, than the European workman . re ceives. This . is a fact 'ahdf yet these platform tricksters havehs.. cheek to talk about prote the American workman 7 against cheap wages abroad, a kind of " pro tection that puts thousands of dl lars into the pockets of the employ er to the one it puts in the pockets of the workman. ; '-- t There , is more rot in the -.refer--ence to .reciprocity. When j that plank was. written there were'(a dozen reciprocity-treaties pigeoned holed in the-Senate of the United States, where they were turned down by the Republican Senators among whom were Marcns AV Hanna ' and Joseph B. Foraker, both of whotsl were conspicuous figures, in thafj conventiohT', - ... ::::-; " 3ba HistjYfltt Haw Always Bougt Ksjutus- BOOK NOTICES.

Philadelphia Record, Denu A resolution of the Ohio Republican convention asserted that the construction of an American ship canal across the isthmus is imperative. As Ohio is in command of the. Republican party, we hope that party will take the same view, quit playing with the matter' and pass a bill that will insure the early construction of the c&ndX.-i-Jacksonville Times Union, Dem. Even if the United States should win in a trade war with Eur ope the victory would be dearly purchased. Sensible people with no axes to grind and no personal interests to- promote know that a trade war with Europe is absolutely unnecessary and can be averted by moderate tariff concessions. We cannot build a wall around . the United States and . expect other na tions to throw open their gates to us. If other nations erect barriers against our products we cannot justly "complain. Of course if the United States is hunting for a trade YWPTt will find one. But why borrow trouble? Baltimore Sun, Dem. The Ohio convention with a hypocrisy equalled by its impudence, loudly indorses the policy of reci procity; this in full view of the thir teen reciprocity treaties hung up by the senatef for nearly a year. If tbe convention had been honest in its pretense of favoring reciprocity, it would have demanded the prompt consideration . of the suspended treaties, and pledges the Ohio sena tors to support that policy. But it was content to indorse the worm eaten Philadelphia platform, which means less in Ohio than it did in the country, in 1900.

The path of the storm Beemed to be along the river until it reached the Trading Foard neighborhood when it took a line across the lower end of Rowan, demolishing almost everything in sight. Wheat in the shock was scattered in every direction, some being blown to the. big road. Trees were uprooted and houses were unroofed. Several houses were blown down but no loss of life or injury to person is reported. The exact extent of damage by the storm has not yet been ascertained.

Monroe Enquirer: There is a full blooded Jersey cow in this city which gives over 100 pounds more milk every month than is her gross weight. There was a severe wind storm in Buford township last Tues day afternoon. A house on Mr. W. 8. Lee's farm, occupied by Joseph Laney, colored, was partially unroofed. A house on Mr. J. EL Stack's place, occupied by Wiley Brace, was blown down and a colored woman, was slightly injured. The storm swept over considerable territory. Wheat and oats in the shock was scattered and a great deal of timber was blown down. A distressing accident occurred at Mr. Pernay Stewart's, in East Monroe township, last Thursday, ftoae strych nine tablets had been put in a drinking glass and one of Mr. Stewart's daugh ters, aged about six years, poured some lemonade into the glass containing the tablets and gave it to her little three year-old sister, Olie, to drink. After drinking the lemonade the little girl went into convulsions and died-in a short time. The oldergirl took some of the lemonade into ner mouth, but finding the tatte bad,did not drink any Of it. Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer: There are many hundreds of acres of cotton in Anson county that have been, or will be, turned out be cause of the impossibility of cleaning it of grass and weeds. Then there are on almost every plantation fields in which the plant has died, from various causes, in such quantities .that not more than half a stand is ' now left These two causes, it is estimated by competent and intelligent observers, have operated to decrease the acreage originally seeded to cotton in this county at least 20 per cent. But this is not the only nor the chief trouble The condition of cotton that has been worked, after a manner, is at least 40 per cent below the average for this time of year. Tbe oldest inhabitant has been hesrd to say that never before has such untoward conditions existed, in this section, for tne cultivation of crops. Usually by this date, farmers begin thinking about laying by" cotton, but this year there are many hundreds acres of that have not even been chopped the first time, and most of that which has been chop ped is not more than half as large and advanced as it should be. Of course all this trouble is due to the incessant rains. But the very poor condition of the cotton crop is not the only trouble our farmers have It now looks as if the corn crop must inevitably be al most a complete failure. Bottom lands have been planted three times, and still there is no stand, while the plant on flat and bill lands haa been almost ir reparably damaged by grass and weeds.

When the Chief Cook Lieavea. . The importance of a chief cook be comes evident when the time for his departure arrives. One day last week the proprietor of a popular restaurant on Fifth avenue decided for reasons of his own to part with the services of the man who had for some years looked after his kitchen. The- chef retired and with him mere than 20 of his as sistants. This number' included bis as sistant cooks and every man In tbe kitchen, even to the unimportant func tionary who presides over the refriger- ators. This exodus did not surprise the proprietor! The chef had brought the others with . him,- and they were in a way more closely attached to his service than to the proprietor who paid them their wages. When a substitute was hired, he also brought the same complete corps of assistants who are supposed to know the methods of their chief-better than any assistants not directly employed by him. This manner of employment exists in all the large- restaurants,' where the head cook is absolute master in tbe kitchen and controls all the branches of bis department down to tbe most .unimportant. He is held responsible on this ground for all that may happen under his direction even if he was not personally concerned-- in the . matter. New York Sun.

NhewYobs, June 28. Liquidation of tired long stuff and short selling culminated on the Cotton Exchange this morning, and with a final rush prices sunk to a level forty-two points below the figures touched early in the week onthe bull movement. Later in the session the market stiffened to a shade at& the previous day's close Ott aVgVfnhn.tn mmA W buying .a&g- , opened easy with prices - five to six mints lower." The decline being a slim response to excepti"y weak Liverpool f"- rain reports from the Souin west, xne pit con&n sold the new options, while Summei month liquidation forced- those positions to the lowest level reached on the decline. For tbe rest of the forenoon the market show d little recuperative energy, and was dull much of the time. Early in the afternoon August sold on: to 7 72, October 7-31' and January 7.35. Then a sudden scare of pit shorts, started .by two promint-nt room brokers, brought about a sharp advance and prompted some buy ing on. the reaction theory forout- airiA imnnn . ai z f : so., tne marset displayed considerable ttrength with the trade uneasy on reports from Southern spot markets, that prices were easily holding to the burn level on ureent demand from spinners and exporters.'- All the last hour the mar ket held tolerably, out jubi Deiore tne close, selling for profits brought about a decline from the best.
