THE MONROE DOCTRINE,
In ealling.as he did the other day. the Monroe doctrin(> "uncommon in- solenee toward the rest of the world, ¦¦ Prince J^ismart-k must have thought that his rountrynien had forgotten the movement against whieh this poliey was a protest. Just eighty-two years ago. the very year, in fact.in which l?isnKU-(-k- wa.s born, three inonarchs—Alexander 1. o. Russia. l"'rancis i. of Austria, and Frederick William 111. of !?russia- entered into a com])act to extend Christian !)rolherhood throiighout their domains, to rule according to the laws of Clod, and to defend each other's authority againstattac-k frou) within their own country cy-without. This was the so-called holy allianee. which tilled a large ])lace in the his¬ tory t>f Kuro])e in the ne.xt dozen years. Its ostens'.,le ])urpose was religious, but its real object was po¬ litical, fiy one of those odd mis¬ chances wiiic-h occasionally arise to battle the j)uri)oses of princes, the ¦¦plenipotentiarii's of Providence,' wei-e attat'ked from the one (piarter of the glol)e from which they h'ast a])i)reiuuided assault. After crush¬ ing the libcn-al movement in Spain in LS22. the alliance intended to attack Mexico, Chili, Peru, and the rest of the countries in the western hemi¬ sphere which had shaken olT the Spanish yoke. It was here that the United Stales intervened. In his regular nu'ssage to congress in De¬ cember. 1S2:>. Presidei\t Monroe pro¬ mulgated the American continent's declaration of independence from further European encroachment,and the liberties of the Spanish-Ameri¬ can nations were saved. That proc¬ lamation s influence, indeed, extend¬ ed farthei- tha.i the western hemi¬ sphere. It was the first reverse' iustaiued by the holy alliance,  and
¦" that league's potency came to an end soon afterward.    The action  of the
\ United States in \^'l'i\ rekindled the (ires of liiicrty in many countries of J<:uro]'.'. inclu'ding Prussia. Prince Hismai'ck's chai-acterization of the Monroe doctrine as ¦•uncounnon in¬ solence toward therestof the world" will not be accepted by his fellow- countrymen who know the purpose and inl'luenct' of  that, declaration.—

AMERICAN VS^ASTEFULNESS.       |
A Noted Author Criticises an Aston= ' ishing Trait of a Great People.       |
The Rev. John Watson (Ian   Mac- \ laren), comes from a  land  of thrift. \ The Scotch by the vei-y  necessity of' their   situation  and   suri'oundings, j are obliged to  be  frugal,   with  re¬ sults that are apparent to all   who are familiar with  Scotch  character. The prodigality and wastefulness of Americans seems to have impressed Mr. Watson.    He says of them:
'"If one were placed in a  witness box he might fte obliged  to declare that they were distinetly  thriftless. An American ttings about his inone^'^ with gorgeous  ])rodigality.     Times there are when a  hard-bitten,   pov¬ erty-stricken Scot cherishes  a bit-1 ter grudge against his more friendly j cousin.     It is when he   follows   him i into a continental hotel and findsthe i lackeys despise his  poor   vail  after { the royal largesse they have just re- ! ceived.     Wc can  only  stand  aside j and wonder at our kinsman who gets i his money so easily, who holds it so I lightly, who spends it .so lavishly—a J man surely of a very princely  habit and far  removed  above   thought  of saving.     And yet it may be allowed us to shake our heads and have some mi.sgivings as to whether this prodi¬ gality is for the  good  of individual character and the firm upbuilding of a people.    Is the ostentatious w^aste of food in hotels wholesome or justi¬ fiable, where the menu is   bewilder¬ ing in variety and the portions sup¬ plied beyond all necessity, and more is taken away than is   used'?     Does it conduce to  stability  and  self-re¬ straint to be quite indifferent about to-morrow aud to reserve nothing of to-day's  earnings?      Have  not the farmers   traded   recklessly  on   the virgin resources of the land?    Have not the forests   beeu  improvidently cut down?    Is there not everywhere a certain want of prudence and man¬ agement whicli cannot  in   the  long run minister to   moral   strength  or even to material   wealth.      If  it  be true, as  is   contended,   that every great empire has   been   built up  on thrift, this means that  the  homliest of virtues does not end in tlie  accu¬ mulation of  money,   but  results  in the creation of manhood.      And   the best friends of  America,   therefore, desire that amid all   her  prosperity she shall not fall away into  imi^rovi- dence and luxury,   but  ever   retain and cultivate  that  habit  of  simple and severe living which was shown by her puritan fathers."
This reference to the puritan fath¬ ers sugg(>sts to the mind the differ- eiu-e between the American of the l)resent and of the former genera¬ tions. For Americans were not al- wa\'S wasteful. The foundations of the republic were laid by men who were known for their frugality and small economies. It is onh' since the civil war that this tendencj^ to conspicuous extravaganceand waste¬ fulness which Mr. Watson notes has ap])eared as a distinctive trait of -American character. Habits of wastefulness are not conducive to the best development of a people. Thrift and frugality are qualities essential to the highest citizenship, and the nation that does not develop them is untrue to itself,—Chieaijo Rieiiril.
A WORT'IY UNDERTAKING.
A new "hotel for poor men'' w^as ojjcned in New York on November 1. to compete with cheap lodging-houses of the ])oorer districts. There are nine stories and 1,5(50 bedrooms, each furnished with a white enameled iron l:)ed. and each light and airy. Haths are supplied to lodgers free (»f charge. Everything is to be scrupulously clean. The public rooms are wainscoted with white porcelain. There are spacious and splendidly lighted courts to serve as lounging places. There is also a reading-room, a billiard-room,_ and a restaurant, wdiere meals will be supplied at small cost. The bed¬ rooms will bc let to men only at. 20 cents a day, with oo reduction for long stays. Mr. D. O. Mills, the California millionaire, is responsible for the undertaking. He expects the hotel certainly to pay expenses, and possiblv to make a Bi^yn profit.

EDirORlAL BUOYANCY.
Editor L5ruggler, of the Knoxville Courier has lost nineteen pounds avoirdupois in the last eigdit years. Possibly the good work he has done has lightened his conscience that much, or mayhap he was at first weighed down with an undue sense of responsibility which the kind advice of those who know just how to ruu a newspaper has since lifted.
History has chalked up (.ne more score against free trade. Now that the Wilson law has been obliterated from the statute books and a protec¬ tive tarirt' law enacted and put into operation and has brought prosper¬ ity to the country, it is demonstrated and will be recorded by futui-e his¬ torians, that the cause of the depres¬ sion of 1893-'96, was due to the Wilson low-tariff measure.
FRED NELSON DEAD.
The end of the struggle with ty¬ phoid fever which came this morn¬ ing to Fred Nelson was a bereave¬ ment not on.ly to a loving father, mother and brother, but to the wliole community as well. Wherever Fi'ed was known, anxious inquiries have been made for the last four weeks while the fever raged and its victim lay between life and death. The first question in the morning as men assembled for their daily toil was, "How is Fred?"' and while all that skill or love could suggest was done it seemed from the first to the anx¬ ious friends that the young man was stricken to his death. "The King of Terrors loves a shining mark," and this is exemplified in the death of Fred Nelson. Unassuming, unpre¬ tentious, dilligcnt, courteous,he had won the respect of all Avith whom he came in contact, and his death is deeply mourned by all his acquain¬ tances. The funeral will be held at the Park M. E. Church on Friday at 2 o'clock, p. m.
IMPOTENCY OF THE B. M. L.
After months of ceaseless opposi¬ tion from the so-called business men's league and the governor's active co-operation against Senator Quay, Chairman Elkins and the Re¬ publican organization, the result of Tuesday's election is more than gratifying to the frieuds of our senior Senator. W^ith all their boasted power they have succeeded in only slightly reducing the regular Republican majority. The Quay ticket, which they were going to slaughter, triumphs over their com¬ bined effects. In several counties, noticeably Lycoming, the home of Attorney-General McCormick, the anti-Quay candidate for governor, an extra effort seems to have been made. The outcome of such -work must necessarily be the bursting of the McCormick boom, for no loyal Republican can be expected to sup¬ port for governor a candidate that the returns indicate has been treach¬ erous to his party nominations. Chairman Elkins hasagain displayed genuine ability in his position and must feel greatly elated over the re¬ sult thuoughout the state.—Elkland ./'orrnal.
LOG DRIVERS.
Lycoming county newspapers bring the information that the Penn¬ syl vania Land and Lumber Company, owners of the mammoth Dodge Mills, at Williamsport, Pa., have deter¬ mined to abandon the system of fioating their stock from the woods to the mill, aud are constructing about thirty-five miles of railroad along the Sinnemahoning Creek, up the West Branch, over which their logs wnll be hauled to the mill in the ¦'uture. By this moans they w^ill avert the danger and loss of floods, the delays due to the low condition of the rivers and the expenses of rafting and booming, a general sav¬ ing of such magnitude as in their judgment to warrant the railroad line. Nor are they alone in that opinion. The Bi'ookville Republican says that several other large firms will follow their exatntile, audit also hears that the boom companies are alarmed at the prospect of losing their occupation. The lumber busi¬ ness was for obvious reasons one of the last to abandon old methods of operation, but it will doubtless make the change quickly now that it lias begun.
POSTAL SAVING BANKS.
Generally the term paternalism is taken to imply offensive activity in looking out for the supposed inter¬ ests of the people and in regulating their affairs.on the part of a govern¬ ment that is outside of and above the people. In the United States the government is the people, and is engaged in carrying out their will. The attempt of a free and self-gov¬ erning people to use their govern¬ ment for the fostering of hopeful in¬ stitutions is co-operation, not pater¬ nalism. The value of the latter term as a catch ])hrase in opposition to the postal bank S3'Stem eonsists in insinuating into it certain notions of autoci'atic rule which have no place in this country. Paternalism im¬ plies dependence The object of the establishment of postal .savings banks in the United States is the very i-everse of tbis. The effect of the system w^ould be to develop self-reliance and independence— Chicago Record.
COUDERSPORT DEFEATED.
The boys of this boro. accompanied by the band, went to Port Allegany on Tuesday afternoon with the vic¬ tory over the Port Allegany aggre¬ gation fresh in their minds, expect¬ ant of another game to their credit. But "it couldn't was." Oneof the boys was seen on the street during the evening, and it was learned that the score was 10 to 12 in favor of Canoe Place. We had a special cor¬ respondent on the ground, but as he failed to appear after the game, it was surmised that he staid to help the down river fellows celebrate the unexpected triumph.
Swallow Vote and the Governorship.
Dr. Swallow's candidacy for State Treasui'er represented the dissatis¬ fied or uneasy elements. He had the Prohibitionists to begin with and he added to this body a lot of recruits picked up from all soui'ces, tlie majority, of course, from the Re¬ publican party, but a very large minority from the Democratic party. Because of the diffusive nature of his vote Dr. Swallow, while showing astonishingly large figures, is a very small factor in the final result—as a matter of fact, no factor at all, for his candidacy produced no changes.
It is a little difficult to get at the real meaning of his vote.    He bitter¬ ly assailed both  Senator Quay and Governor Hastings.   As there seems to have  been a movement against ¦'bosses''   in   Maryland,   Ohio and New York, it is fair to presume tliat some of the Swallow vote was aimed at Quay.    Dauphin county, in which Harrisburg  is  located,   and   where Dr. Swallow has aimed   his   hardest blows at the Governor, gives  him  a majority.   So does Lycoming county, the home of the Governor's chum, Attorney-General  McCormick.       In these instances it is also fair to x^re- sume that tlie vote is  a  repudiation of both the Governor and the  Attor¬ ney-General.    The large Democratic vote Avhich Swallow got  undoubted¬ ly went to him as a protest against the free   silver   sentiments  in  the Democratic   platform.     But out ot the contest Major McCauley emerges with a splendid Republican majority for Auditor-General,   and  while for Stcite Treasurer  Mr.   Beacom  runs behind because he  was the  yictim against whom the Swallow campaign w^as directed, as   also that  of   Mr. Thompson, the Independent, his ma¬ jority is a most creditable one for an off' year.
The Republican party in Pennsyl¬ vania, therefore, is in excellent shape for the Gubernatorial cam¬ paign of next year. All that is now necessary for complete triumph is to permit all candidates to have a square contest without interference. Thus far there has been not the slightest attempt to dictate, and we do not believe that there is the slightest desire to dictate unless it be on the part of the Blankcnburg element—and that doesn't count.
"hore are few candidates for Gov¬ ernor at present. Representative William xV. Stone, of Allegany eoun¬ ty, is openely in the field. It is ad¬ mitted that he has great strength because of his sincere devotion to the cause of restricted immigration. He has fought for restriction and for his own bill, which carries an edu¬ cational feature, in Congress, and he is one of the most prominent, active aud forceful members of that body. xVlready he has pledged to him the Berks county delegates. He is ex¬ pected to develop much support in the industrial centres.
Representative Charles W. Stone, from the northwestern section of Pennsylvania, is another avowed candidate. He. too, is one of the strong men of Congress. He is an oratoi- and lias done good work both for the tariff' and against free silver. Other names have been mentioned, but most of them have dropped out of sight. Representative ConnelLof Lackawanna county, is still in the field, but there are doubts as to whether he really intends to prose¬ cute a vigorous campaign. Since he was so unjustly treated by Governor Hastings, and was made the victim of unparalleled political hyiioerisy. General Frank Reeder s name has been widely mentioned as a possible candidate. The General himself has openly avowed his intentions.
These men are all good Republi¬ cans, and any one of them would not only adorn the Gubernatorial chair, but would administer the affairs of State with courage, dignity, intelli¬ gence and sturdy hoiiesty. If there are any other candidates they will be w^elcome. Let them have a fair field and a free fight, and whatever the result may be it will be satisfac¬ tory.
It is observed that w^e make no mention of the candidacy of Peter A. B. Widener, of Philadelphia. We do not consider it seriously, because Mr. Widener could not be elected, even if nominated; consequently, he will not be nominated.—Inquirer.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
KROM OITRREOTTLAK OORRKSPONDKNT,
Washington,   Nov.  8.^President McKinley and the   members   of   his Cabinet w^ould  doubtless  be much amused   at   the    persistence    w'ith which new war sacres are launched through the columns of the yellow journals, if the subject were not too serious and important to be  regard¬ ed from a  jocular   point  of   view. Seeing  how  easy  the   scares  have been floated and with   what avidity they have been pushed along by the gullible, a gang of Wall street spec¬ ulators got up one and according to the financial reports, they succeeded in fleecing thousands of easily frigh¬ tened speculators out of large  sums of money by using their   war  scare to hammer down prices of specula¬ tive stocks.     As long as people will swallow any  sort of a crazy  story that unscrupulous newspapers  may choose to print, it will be impossible to stop this sort of  thing.    Of  late, the Navy Department cannot  order a vessel to be repaired or theGener- eral of the Army cannot discuss the need   of additional   coast  defenses without   it   being   taken   in    some quarters to mean that  war   is   ex¬ pected  in   a   few   days.    The  only remedy is for   sensilDle   people   to exercise their sense in the choice of the  newspapers  they. read.    As  a matter of   fact,   while   the   vellow journals   of   New   York   and    the speculators   of   Wall   street    were hysterical over the  alleged  danger of war, tlie President and his   Cabi¬ net were  quietly  attending to the routine duties of their position,   not dreaming of such an awful thing as war.    It   would   be   expecting   too much to perverse human  nature  to expect that this counti*y w^ould never again engage in war, but it can  be truly said that there is no danger of the good people of this  country  go¬ ing to sleep some night in peace and waking the next morning to find the country at war.    President  McKin¬ ley desires no war, and  expects  no war with Spain or any  other  coun¬ try.    Peace and prosperity is  what he wishes continued.
The keystone of the  instructions ofiven to Consul General Lee,   who
Senator and learned some useful les¬ sons on the necessity of party har- niou}' that will be certain to bear re¬ sults in the future. Success of the party, not of an individual, is the motto that can never be departed' from without dantrer.
GRANGER DIPLOHATS,
Secretary Wilson expresses it as his opinion in his annual report that every foreign embassy should have a man thoroughly familiar with the methods and duties of the Depart¬ ment of Agriculture so that he can, when called upon by the Depart ment. make an intelligent report upon the agricultural conditions of the countrv to which he is accredit¬ ed. The Secretary claims that he has great difficulty in obtaining specific and technical information from most foreign consulates when information is wanted by the De¬ partment for the benefit of the agri¬ culturists of this country. All for¬ eign countries, he says, have their representatives of agriculture here to gain the benefit of the experiments conducted by this Government and the prominent agriculturists and horticulturists throughout the Uni¬ ted States. We. he says, are far be¬ hind the nations of Europe in this important matter.
The Wilson law put salt on the free list. The salt industry in Western New York met hard tinies in consequence. Mines became idle and wages went down. Capital was withdrawn from investment. The Dingley law put a duty on salt of 12 cents per 100 pounds in packages and 8 cents in bulk. The Western New York salt field is now enjoying a boom. Prices have risen, more men are employed, better wages are paid, fresh capital isbeingattracted, idle mines are working again. West¬ ern New York needs nobetterobject lesson of the relative merits of Free- Trade and Protection. It has had lessons enough to last it for one generation. —Bnjfalo E.ejire.'^.s.

There are no new developments con¬ cerning the relations between this country and Spain and none are expected in the immediate future, sensational rumors to the contrary not withstanding.
Tho annual report of Hon. H.Clay Evans, Commissioner of Pensions, has been made public. Tt shows net increase in the total number of pensioners for the year ending June HOth. last, to have been 5,83(3, and the total number drawing pensions on that date 976,014. There are still seven widows and nine daugh¬ ters of revolutionary soldiers draw¬ ing pensions. Among the important recommendations of the report are the publication of a complete list of pensioners, and the adoption of legislation by Congress that will prohibit the payment of a pension to the widow of any soldier of the war of the rebellion who shall marry after the date upon which such lav^- shall go into eft'ect.
Washington Repub lican s are much interested   in   the   selection   of    a Republican   successor   to    Senator Gorman  by the  Maryland   legisla¬ ture.    Location makes that interest perfectly natural, but in addition to that is the fact that four of the gen¬ tlemen   who are being talked of as probable   candidates  are    as   well known to Washington people as any citizen of Washington.     They are, Judge McComas, who was put upon the bench of the Supreme  Court of the District of Columbia,   by  Presi-' dent Harrison, after having made an 1 unusual record in Congress for   the I length of time he served ;Postmaster-1 General Gary,   wiiose business-like I admini.stration of his  great  depart- | ment has made him hosts of   newj friends    and    admirers;    Governor j Lowmdes. wdio has always been pop ular in Washington,   and  Represen-j tative Mudd. whose qualities  as  an j all-around  nervy    political    fighter j

The foreign scarcit}' alfects directly but the one article of wlieat. and that is onlj^one of a great list of farm articles which have advanced, and as for the Klon¬ dike gold, four times as much money has been expended in fitting out Klondikers as has been brought in by them.
Mr. Bryan says that "the first six months of the McKinley administva- lion were the most disastrous in the history of the countrj^." That's a pretty stiff' one. even for Bryan. But it induces a cold shudder to think what would have been the first six months of the Bryan administra¬ tion.
The free-silverite theor}' of Mexi¬ can prosperity is for a Mexican to take S25 in Mexican pesos, everj^ one of which is as hard for him to get as is a gold dollar for his Ameri ean ueighbor, and purchase with them something which is worth SIO in American money.
According to figures taken from the official report:-, ^i' the Cleveland administration, the farming element j of the country lost by decreased con- i sumption and decreased values dur¬ ing Cleveland's last administration something like four thou.sand million dollars..
Calamity-criers this year are keep¬ ing away from facts and figures.
Silver hasn't reached  the dollar- mark yet.
Now that the entire results of last; week's election are disceniable. it is ! seen that our friends, the enemy. ' have been at their old game of shout-, ing victory wiien there was no vie- j tory. About the only place the | Democrats won anything substantial; was in New York city. and. unless j Tammany has changed for tlie better j since it was last in power, that vie-; tory will, in the end be harmful to I the Democratic party at large. The \ Republicans   have   gained   another.
Personally, young Mr. Bryan did pretty well in Ohio. It is said that he charged $200 a speech and ex¬ penses, and heliTade a dozen speech¬ es inside of four days, so that he is probably feeling the return of pros perity.
