ZXPADI0 THE DOC- A year or more go Senaior Lodge, of Massachusetts, in a speech in New York, stretched the Monroe Doctrine so that it applied not only to Euro pean nations acquiring territory on this hemisphere, bnt also to the estab lishment of European colonies in any of the countries south of us. The immediate inspiration of this speech was the report that German colonies were being established in Brazil un der the auspices of a colonization so ciety, with the co-operation of the GpTernmeht, which he construed as an infringement of the Monroe Doc trine, which he held should be as oper atiTe against colonization of -Euro peans with the aid direct or indirect of their home gorernments, as it would be against the actual acquisition of territory by any foreign goTernment. There are a number of European colonies, or rather colonies of Euro peans, in seTeral of the South Amer ican countries, which would all be corered by Senator Lodge's stretched Monroe Doctrine, but his speech was aimed oarticuIarlT at the German colonies established in Brazil, which seems to hare giren and to stlH grre a warm welcome to these German colonists, who are doing much to de velop this country and hare the rep utation of minding their own business and dabbling rery little if any with politics. These colonies may be and doubt less are actire agencies in building up German trade in that country, and this seems to hare been the grievance with Senator Lodge, who holds that this country has a pre emption right on the trade of all the countries South of us, and therefore he gare the Monroe Doctrine this commercial twist. Whether Mr. John R. Proctor, Civil Service Commissioner, took the cue from Senator Lodge or not, he goes the Senator seTeral points better and would stretch the Monroe Doctrine away over to China and make it coyer that country. He is thus reported in a dispatch from Washington: "The value of the trade of Great Britain and the United States with China," says Mr. Proctor in discuss ing this matter, " now amounts to six times as much as the combined trade of Germany, France and Bussia with that country, and consequently these two countries may be said to hare paramount commercial interests in China. These are alio the two coun tries having the largest frontage of coast line on the Pacific and Indian oceans, and they thus have paramount political interest in the future of the millions of Chinese whose territory fronts that ocean. "Our trade in China must in time exceed the enormous trade of Great Britain with that country. We at last realize that because of our abundant resources, the skill of our workmen and the efficiency of our machinery, we can successfully compete with any and all countries for the markets of the world. As our capacity for pro dnction grows more rapidly - than our cspacty for consumption, this country. more than any other, is interested in preserving China from partition among European powers. "We need have no illusions as to the effect of sueh a movement upon our agricultural, manufacturing and com mercial interests. Certain Europe n countries, not having the same abund ant stores of superior coals; iron ores, fibers and other raw products, raw products, realize that open competition is impossible. They having the in herited mediaeval system of governing colonial or foreign possessions for the exclusive benefit of the home Govern ment, impose discriminating duties upon imports into all regions brought under their control. "An example of this system is shown by the French occupation of Indo Chin and Madagascar. The United States Consul in Manchester, England, In 1898, wrote: 'The new duties on cotton goods in Madagascar, which came Into operation October last, are likely, in the estimation of persons en gaged in this trade, to all but extin guish the consumption of any but French goods.' "For these reasons our Government should declare, applying the language of the Monroe doctrine: " 'In the wars of European powers. In matters relating to themselves, we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are Invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparations for de fence. With the movements in China we are of necessity more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and Im partial observers. We owe it, there f ors, to candor and to the amicable re lations existing the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to "tend their system to any portion of the Chinese Empire as dangerous to' our peace and safety, and as a mani festation of an unfriendly disposition towards the United States " Mr. Proctor considers that this gov ernment will lose its great opportunity if it does not take a steadfast and con stant course In dealing with the ques tion of the dismembership of China. "The .decision must soon be reach ed," he says; 71 which -will determine whether the principles of constitu tional liberty and self-government, re presented by the clvillntlon of the Teutonic races, or the repressive abso lutism of the Slav, shall dominate the world." ' Isn't Mr. Proctor laying ou!l a pretty large sized job for this coun try? Witb.-Rus8ia firmly planted in the North; Germany and France in the center, and England further South,' wouldn't this country have pretty strong quartet fo buck up against? The United. States has a right to demand that there bo nd discrimination against Americans trading in or trying to build up trade in China, to expect fair play atfd the same treatment accorded to other nations but when it comes to that other -nations havo no right to extend their "spheres of Influence" ;that'i what they call landgrabblng now) which they have been doing for years without objec tion by this Government that is an other matter, decidedly belated and and inconsistent if not impertinent. We grabbed the Philippines. What for ? To give us a vantage ground to extend our trade in the Orient, and get away with the other fellows. Any of those nations had and have as mnch right to protest against establishing American su premacy so near to China, with porta as distributing points and narbors for our warships, as we have to pro test against their asserting territorial or commercial supremacy over any part of China, and therefore they may be amused at the proposition fseriouslv made) to extend the Monroe Doctrine to China; and Rntarii. esDeciallv. may be amused when Mr. Proctor asserts that the province of this Government is to see that "principles of constitu tional liberty and self government, as the opposite of "Slav absolut ism,1' shall dominate the world. One might suspect that this flam boyant wind-up was hitched on bj Senator Beveridge or some of the other exnanders who believe' that the mission of this country is to carry "civilization and Christianity1' clear around the world and plant them in all the benighted lands. It lookaasjf. they were mapping out nrettv rood sized job for Undo Samuel. A WHITZXAVS COTJITSY. There are some negroes In the South who in their talks present some solid chunks of hard sense to their people, and occasionally one comes to the front in the North who does the same. Rev. John Daniels, of Chicago, seems to be one of these, if we may judge from the following Chicago dispatch: la a lecture delivered before the members of hiseongregation in the African Methodist church of K vans- ton, Bev. John Daniels declared that the United 8Utes was the white man's country aad said it was time that the negro was learning his place . "The trouble with our race,- said the speaker, "is that we have been petted, flattered and protected too much. The white man should be our pattern." Key. Daniel also declared tnat ne was in favor of no person being allow ed to vote who could not read and write. The address was made because of an editorial in one of tbe Evanston papers suggesting the rope for the negro who had insulted several white women ia the suburb. He partially diagnosed the trouble with his race when he said it had been "petted, flattered and pro tected too much." If he had added trifled with and humbugged by self-constituted leaders and pre tended friends, the diagnosis would have been more complete, and yet after thirty-five years of freedom they do not seem to see it. Periodically, when there is some selfish reason for doing it, some one bobs up and tells them what the Republican par ty is going to do for them; it is the. same old fake with, perhaps, some little variation, but they swallowed it all the same, and kept on believ ing that the only mends they have and the only people they have to look to and can trust are the Republican politicians, who have been buncoing them ever since they were made voters, and there fore they believe that every one who differs from those Republican poli ticians is an enemy to the negro and would, enslave him if he could. There is need of a good many talkers of the Daniels kind scattered through this country, North and South. If they could get the ear of the negroes and the politicians would keep hands off they might do some good. TO ESTABLISH A WHITE COLOET. It is reported that a company of capitalists, organized for that pur pose, has purchased a large tract of land in Alabama, on which . they purpose to establish a colony to be excusively white, and in which no negro or mulatto will be employed in any capacity or be permitted to live. Land will be sold to indlvid als desiring to purchase, but with the obligation that the purchaser neither sell nor rent any portion of the purchase to a negro, or employ any negro, the object being to make this tract owned by this company absolutely and exclusively a white settlement. It is not stated who the pur chasers of this tract are but we ven ture the opinion that they are North ern men, who, acting upon the be lief that white men from the North are not willing to come South and work beside negroes, are trying this experiment of keeping negroes out. They believe that if it -succeeds and be shown that white men can work it farms and raise crops in that section without negro labor, thus showing the groundlessness of the opinion entertained by many that negro labor is indispensable, it will give a stimulus to immigration from the North, especially in view of the fact that all things considered farm ing lands are cheaper in the South than in any other section of the country. This experiment will be watched with interest, although it is not the first of the kind. The Fitzgerald colony established several years ago in Georgia, in which nearly all the colonistsjwere Western people,adopt ed that plan. No negro is allowed to own property or live or to be . S3 T D Si 3C- , . Banth a xi Kind Yob ftraAffx fifcsi employed in the colony, all the work being done by white people. We have not seen anything about it in print lately, but the last time we did it was reported to be prospering and progressing. The town of Southern Pines, in this State, the great Winter resort for wealthy white people of the North, which is principally owned and under the control of Northern people, is another where negroes are not employed or permitted to live. But this is simply a town, while the others embrace farming regions as welL The Charlotte Observer having j decided to issue an evening edition, j the Charlotte Xews reciprocates by j announcing that it wfll issue a morning edition, which will give j Charlotte two more papers. The 1 Observer's evening will be called the ; Chronicle and be independent in ! . ... . I politics : the Jietcs' morning will be called the Democrat and will be De mocratic in politics. This ought to fill the bill for that hustling burg. In reply to a Georgia editor who polled his neighborhood as to how they stood on G rover, and wrote ask ing him how he stood on that ques tion himself, Mr. Cleveland answered that he had no desire to be the Dem ocratic standard-bearerfor the fourth time in a Presidential contest. Three tips ought to put a man out. ( The Newport A ews -Herald re- marks that "the "man who is dress - ed in a little brief authority ia sel dom clothed in his right mind."

General Baldwin savs that the Filipinos "have no confidence in what they-are told by the American officers."

Norfolk Ledger, Dem. "A number of States have Tjarred their illiterate negro citizen from the polls by means of- tests copied from Connecticut and Mas sachusetts," says the Hartford Cow rant, an orthodox Republican paper. It was all right in Massachusetts and Connecticut, but when some of the Southern States tried it a nam ber of Northern papers began to in quire wnetner the war was not a failure.

L-oaioB. Cp to the seventeenth century Grub street was on the outskirts of London. It was a street tenanted by bowyers, . Cetchers. makers of bowstrings and everything else that : appertained to archer?. Later on Jotm Fox lived in Grub street, though be did not write bis famous "Book of Martyrs there. Fox's residence in Grub street occurred about 1572. John Speed, tbe tailor archaeologist, was a resident of Grub street, where he was famous as the most responsible parent, baring a fam ily of twelve sons and. six daughters. Grub street of old and Milton street to day is noted for its great number of alleys and courts. From Grub street issued such fa mous old literary skits as "Jack the Giant Killer." "Tom Hicka thrift," "The Wise Men of Gotham and scores of others now a part of every boy's libra ry. Probably literary men first began to populate Grub street in any 'num bers during Cromwell's time. Then a great number of seditious and libelous pamphlets were circulated, and as the authors for safety had to seek obscure living places they found a fitting re treat in the maze of , alleys which webbed the Grub street section. At any rate, by the commencement of the eighteenth century Grub street had be come quite notorious as the poor au thors' quarter of London. imA Hla CUa. In man- the front of the lower Jaw bone possesses a well -marked projec tion, known as the chin or mental prominence, covered by a fleshy pod of corresponding shape. In all other back boned animal the jawbone slopes back without any such protuberance. It is a sfngolar fact that the presence of a well marked chin is associated with firm character and well marked intel lectual qualities. This Is one of the best founded rules In character delinea tion by physiognomy. Tbe late Profess or Huxley used to illustrate the matter by drawing a profile with good chin on tbe-bla ck board and then wiping out the chin and replacing It by a receding curve. Any one Who repeats the experi ment will be surprised at the result. The reason la not clear, but we may perhaps cay that a well developed jaw is associated with good digestive pow ers, which have more to do with char acter than one might at first sight sup pose. Aatloity ef GrmlmB. Nearly all the grains now In use are of unknown antiquity. Wheat was cul tivated in all latitudes as far back in the past as we have authentic knowl edge. Barley is thought to have origi nated in the Caucasus, bnt it- was known and used everywhere in the most ancient times. Oats, like rye. were unknown In ancient India and Egypt and among the Hebrews. The Greeks and Romans received it from the north of Europe. Had there been an early civilization on this continent the wild oats found here and there would probably have developed Into the useful cereal now considered abso lutely essential to the proper nourish ment of horses. This continent is cred ited with having given Indian corn to the old world, but this useful cereal was doubtless known in India and Chi na many hundred years before the dis covery of America. A Dc Story. An elderly clergyman living some few miles from a market town and somewhat absent minded withal was in the habit of driving there weekly, where he put bp his horse at a partic ular inn. his do? always in attendance. One day when returning with a friend be was much annoyed to discover that the dog was missing and insisted on driving back to find him. The Inn was reached, and there, sure enough, was tbe dog. and not only tbe dog. but the parson's horse as welL Tbe hostler bad put another borse into the vehicle. but the dog. recognizing the mistake, elected to stay with bis animal friend rather than return with his master.

Following the call the market for a time displayed further weakness under' ditappoint ing Liverpool eables,favorab'e weather and larger receipts, but almost imme piately rallied under further coveriag by shorts. Trading was rery active and excited on the advance, which carnea prices back to yesterday's high level on May snd to a new high record on July, Aucust and September, July selling as high as 10.76; surpassed the previous best point by eight points, while August showed a gain of three and September one point over the high record of yes terday and the seasoa. Tfie bull clique were active sellers on the ad vance, however, and the saraiier longs also turned for profits while the favorable weather aad imnroved crop' accounts encouraged sell ing of the new crop positions. The New Orleans market gave indi cations of top heaviness sad it seemed that tbe scare of .smaller shorts in both markets had practically ran its course for the time beisg. With these de mands, less insistent, specula lion be came less feverish. The market was at all times irregular aad nervous acd ia the early afternoon yielded under heavy liquidation and sales -on the re action theory to a level net 14 and 30 points lower with the new crop a&d August displaying the greatest reis tive weakness May declined eighteen points from the cloaa of yesterday.
