Is the Monroe Doctrine Weakening? There has been considerable talk both in this country and in Europe ever since the close of the Spanish American war to the effect that the active participation of our government In international politics, especially as they apply to China, and the extension of our dominion beyond the American continent must have as their necessary consequence the abandonment either voluntarily or by force of the Monroe doctrine. The Europeans who have talked in this strain were moved in the main by the wish which was father to the thought. The Monroe doctrine has been the stone wall which kept the marauding; nations of Europe out of the American continent and saved it from being the scene of such con flict as has torn Africa for the past. half century. Now that the "dark continent" has been parceled out among the robbers, they seek an ex cuse to break through the barrier that has guarded South America, and that pact of North America south of the Rio Grande river.

They pretend to have found that excuse in the new part taken by this country in the de liberations of the powers of the old world. The Americans who declare that the recent foreign policy of our government must mark an end to the Monroe doctrine take this view be cause it serves them as an argument against the policy which they oppose. But both foreigners and Americans who predict either the abandonment or the modification of the Monroe doc trine show an ignorance of what that great principle of Americans foreign policy really is an ignorance most unbecoming in publicists or politicians who essay to discuss international questions. An example of the expres sions on this subject is the following from the London Standard: "Now that the Republic is taking an active inter est in the wider field of the world's politics, the time has come when the fiction that the Western Hemisphere is to be guarded as a close preserve for American enterprise should finally be exploded." Now as to the first proposition which finds so many to support it in this country. The Monroe doctrine cannot be affected by any action of this government in any other part of the world.

The Monroe doctrine is not in any sense of the word international law. It is purely and simply an American policy and it has survived to this day for no other reason than that no nation or nations have cared to incur the risk of defying the United States. It is founded entirely on our ability to enforce it and will last just as long as we are strong enough to compel respect to our wishes. And when this nation was engaged in civil strife and the attentions and energies of our government were absorbed in putting down a gigantic rebellion, England and France conspired to demolish the Monroe doctrine by landing troops in Mexico and establishing a monarchy. But as soon as the internecine Strife was over and the United States could look beyond their own borders, the European intruders in Mexico were notified to get out.

And they stood not on the order of going, but went at once. This was a practical illustration of the Monroe doctrine. It depends entirely on our ability to enforce it. That ability is certainly not any less today than it ever was, and it will not grow less for an indefinite period to come. Grandfathers and Red Shirts.

The real purpose of the disfranchisement of the Negroes in the Southern states is disclosed by an examination of the facts in North Carolina. There a few years ago the Populists combined with the Republicans and defeated the Democratic candidate for governor, also electing a United States senator. But later by the aid of a shot gun campaign the Democrats elected a legislature, one of the first acts of which as to provide for a convention to revise the constitution for the purpose of disfranchising the colored voters. By this means it was hoped to guard against any possible contingency of Democratic defeat in the future. To disfranchise the colored voters without running counter to the provisions of the Fifteenth amendment the North Carolina Bourbons adopted the usual method.

The first of two sections requires an educational qualification. Every person presenting himself for registration must be able to read and write any section of the constitution in the English language and pay a poll tax. The second section, familiarly known as the grandfather clause," reads as follows: "No male person who was on January 1, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under the laws of any state in the United States, wherein he then resided, and no lineal descendant of any such person shall be denied the right to register and vote at any election in this state, by reason of his failure to possess the educational qualifications prescribed in section four of this article." The object of this "grandfather clause" is to exempt the illiterate whites from the educational qualifications. There are few or no illiterate whites in North Carolina who were not voters in or whose fathers or grandfathers were not voters at that time. On the other hand the colored fple were not voters up to that date, when the Fifteenth amendment was passed for their protection.

It is contended that the census will show the ratio of illiteracy to be greater among the white than among the colored population of North 'Carolina. This is one of the few states in the South where there is little danger of colored supremacy, the white vote being 3,11511 and the colored vote only The colored vote is almost entirely in the seacoast counties. There are few Negroes in the mountain districts in the western part of the state. At the election of lPOO, in the fifty eastern counties, wherein four fifths of the colored voters reside and less than one half the white population of the state, the Democrats secured a majority of 57,110. The advocates of the "grandfather clauFe" make a pretense at defending the amendments to the constitution on the theory that they will stimulate education among the colored people and excite their to take part 10 THE SCR ANTON REPUBLICAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1901.

the government, and the "grandfather is Justified on the ground that the white people in the mountains who have not been favored with school privileges have nevertheless "from their fathers of grandfathers learned the rights and glories of free institutions, receiving by tradition and inheritance a capacity and an aptitude for self government, for independent thought and conduct, and, although unlettered, are as intelligent and frequently more intelligent than persons of good education who have not inherited that capacity and aptitude and have not had the advantage of such a position." As a matter of fact the whites in North Carolina have withdrawn almost every support from the cause of colored education and discourage schools for colored children, and the "capacity and aptitude for self government" shown by the illiterate whites of the state is best illustrated in the recent "red shirt" campaign. The Industrial Situation. The unanimity with which the newspaper press of the entire Pennsylvania anthracite territory has discouraged the idea of a strike of the mine workers is the best indication of the state of public opinion on the question; and the value of public opinion in a contest of that nature is beyond calculation. Without its active, sympathy and assistance no staike can succeed, nor ever did succeed. It is the knowledge of these facts and the appreciation of their paramount importance by the men who have the power to declare the strike that is the best assurance that there will be no strike.

The managers of the campaign for the miners' organization are inclined to amend their positive statements of a few days ago. They have evidently been feeling the public pulse. And it is that same pulse that is a valuable governor in times like these. Were it not for the force of popular opinion such power as that delegated by the Hazleton convention to the national board would be a dangerous dictational prerogative, as it would leave the welfare and the fortunes of a million people to a greater or less degree at the mercy of a half dozen men. A German Diplomat on the Missionaries in China.

An Interesting article in the recent number of the Independent is by Herr von Brandt, who was at one time the German minister to China. Herr von Brandt clearly places the blame for the Chinese troubles mainly upon the Western nations. He says that both the greedy commercialism and the missionary zeal of Western civilization have had a large share in provoking the Chinese to armed resistance. As to the cession of "spheres of influence" enough has been said during the past few years to enlighten the public sufficiently. A grant to one nation provokes all the rest.

After the war with Japan Russia offered to lend money to China. But the conditions were too severe, and the Chinese government turned to Great Britain. That country in turn asked for especial privileges, whereupon Russia objected. A German English syndicate got the business, and then Great Britain felt ag grieved. "China must bow says Heir von Brandt.

"Other powers see into the game and join in; a policy is developed that may be likened to a chain, where the handing out of one link drags out another. The fact being vit ible to the whole world, gave rise among estern nations to the second great illusion under which they labor namely, that the territory of China is bound to be partitioned in the long run among the great powers." Now patriotism in one sense may be lacking in the Chinese. But none the less they fear foreign aggression. They have a civilization which they believe to be the best in the world, and the feeling that it is threatened by a civili zation they despise stirs them to wrath. And here is where the misplaced zeal of the missionary aggravates the situation.

He preaches a religion directly contrary to Chinese traditions. He is supported by the guns of the powers. All the missionaries have not been indiscreet, but many of the organizations, themselves lacking in discipline, have not been wise in their choice of instruments. Herr von Brandt reminds us that Secretary Olney directed an American minister "to advise the missionaries to limit themselves austerely to missionary work, instruction in schools, preaching the Gospel, the care of souls and of the sick; and, where this advice is not enforced by the directors of mission organizations, it needs to be by the envoys of governments if their coun tries are not to be dragged into dis comforting entanglements with the East Asiatics." The Providence Journal in reviewing Heir von Brandt's article says: 'Mr. George F.

Seward, once United States Minister to China, notes that the American missionaries have been probably the most judicious of all. They have not looked for the gunboat around the corner, but have relied up on spiritual weapons. It is perhaps due measurably to home principles that this has been so. We have no established church, and our people of different denominations have no reli ance at home on spiritual weapons." 'Still it may be doubted if their Wirtq have always been free from injudicious meddling," says the Journal. "At all events, the missionary question naj immensely complicated the Chinese problem, and no settlement that does not take this into account can be regarded as permanent." Herr von Brandt says that "a restriction of missionaries to the treaty ports is advisable because the measure will relieve the powers of the need of continuing to wield the sword of the flesh, and will give the Chinese people time for recovering calmness of mind," The Clayton Bulwer treaty is about the deadest thing in our international relations and it ought to be respectably buried.

Hung Chang is reported to be at death's door, but even If the old Chinaman were to all appearances dead it would "pay to keep an eye on him while negotiations were on. The Langstaft petitioners were probably the most relieved people in the county last night when they learned of the Supreme court decision in the Eighth ward contest cost case. There are men who are grandfathers who when school boys declaimed "Spartacus' Address to the Gladiators." Yet the man who wrote that fierce sreech died last Sunday. He was nearly eighty eight years old. Although his literary labors embraced many books for boys he avill be remembered principally as the author of that gladiatorial address.

General Harrison said that he was prouder of General Chaffee's protest against looting in China tl an he was of his splendid fighting a declaration that does as much credit to Harrison as it does to Chaffee. i A Carbondale ghost has the bad habit of choking the lady who was the spouse of the ghost before he was a ghost. This is a form of wife beating that the whipping post could not cor rest. Not even Alderman Donahue of AVilkes Uarre could chastiie a ghost. PEOFLE AXD PEOJECTS.

Rev. Gustav A. Hinteiieitner, T. who die! at Pottsville, was father of Gustav A. Hinteiieitner, of Carbon dale.

The doctor was born at Weis senburg, Bavaria, Germany, October XSii, and came to America to study and take up ministerial duties in 1S49. He was a student from early youth. At the age of nine he began the study of the classic languages. In 1805 his culture caused his synod to elect him German professor of the theological seminary at Gettysburg. Pa.

The title of doctor of divinity was conferred upon him some years ago as a recognition of his services and scholarship by the Lutheran Institution of Muhlen burg college. Samuel H. Tally, who was upwards of 20 years ago night dispatcher of the Lackawanna in this city, has been appointed trainmaster of the Wyoming division of the Lehigh Valley railroad on account of the transfer of Trainmaster Bardo to the New York di vision W. Gibson Field, formerly of Eas ton, was a classmate at Harvard of Jeremiah Curtin, the translator of "Quo Vadis" from the original. Mr.

Field says that Mr. Curtin has a special taste for languages, having a practical knowledge of at least 50, and is constantly increasing the stock. Apropos of his knowledge of Russian language, when, in 1805, he was in St. Petersburg as secetary of the United States legation, and when at the New Year's ball in the Winter palace, he was presented to Emperor Alexander he agreeably surprised the latter by speaking Russian to him, being the only man in the whole diplomatic corps who knew the language. The emperor highly complimented Mr.

Curtin to the American minister and to Russians near by. The enthusiasm he excited led the merchants of Moscow to give a banquet to the legation of the United States. Mr. Curiin made a speech in Russian, and he was afterwards greeted by all present in the peculiarly affectionate Russian style, which greeting was repeated after drinking to his health. This dinner was the first ever given by citizens of Moscow to the representatives of a foreign nation, ani caused much comment in Europe at the time.

Among the languages in which Mr, Curtin is an expert are those of a num ber of American Indian tribes, and he has prepared for the Smithsonian in stitution at Washington. D. a work on the Muskokis. or Creeks, and on the Seneca nation of New York. In study ing Indian languages and looking up Indian myths (a number of volumes of which he has brought out), he and his wife have penetrated into Ameri can wildernesses, and lived with the Indians themselves In their wigwams, far from the abodes of white men.

In Earnest. He (delightedly). "Have you really and truly never been engaged before?" She "Never that is, not in the winter." The internal revenue office has re ceived notice of a special tax to be imposed on all brokers and "bucket shops." Each of the concerns must by April 1 pay a special tax of and on or before July 1 and annually thereafter a special tax of for every office and branch office and all other taxes in addition thereto. A tax of two cents is imposed on every tran faction of If 100 or fraction thereof and two cents for every additional MOO. The act further provides that under oath a list of the persons employed in the business and the places where it is ceariied on must be filed.

An account book of transactions open to internal revenue inspectors must also be kept. If the law applies to real estate, as is believed, it will affect many in this city. The pair of true lovers passed up the aisle and approached the altar. The bridegroom was a fine strapping youth of some S5 summers, while the bride was slightly younger, her age beins somewhere in the neighborhood of IV. The officiating clergyman advanced to meet them, and, with a slight wave of the hand, whispered that the font was at the other end of the church.

"Font," said Ahe aspiring benedict, "we don't want the font; we've come to be married." "Oh, pardon me," replied the parson, "I thought you wanted this cjiild christened." What's to become of all the stamped check books? After the 1st of July they wiil be as superfluous as last year's almanacs, and they must be rather numerous. A great many banks and other financial Institutions have supplied them to their customers, either at the single cost of the stamps or as a gratuity. Quite likely the expiration of the time within which the law requiring the stamps remains in operation will find a great many of them still unused, though the statistics covering the last fiscal year show that their consumption was rapid. No less than 350.0uO,(i(iO checks passed through the banks during that time, each bearing a 2 cent stamp, and yielding to the government. No doubt, this pace will be1 kept up until the 1st of July, if it is not exceeded.

The propriety of using up all one's supply of stamped checks Is rather an Incentive to paying out money. Many federal employes will lose their berths as the result of this lifting of the tax. New ties will soon be laid on the famous Starrucca viaduct at Lanes boro. There are fourteen hundred of them, the bridge being a quarter of a mile long. The grade at that point is feet to the mile, so that the north end of the bridge is eight feet higher than the south end.

The structure has nineteen arches and is one of the longest stone viaducts in the country. The frame work for this noted bridge was built by John Marshall, son of the late Edward Marshall of Berlin township, Wayne county. A new cycle is adapted to be attached to the feet, with the driving wheel as near as possible under the center, the spring for raising the foot usually found in such contrivances being omitted. This leaves the movements of the foot altogether at the will of the wearer and makes the support steady and solid when the person is at rest. It is the intention of the inventor to provide a roller skate in which the weight of the wearer shall be utilized to propel him over the pavement.

An endless chain which revolves about two wheels engages teeth on the un der wheel. On each side of the chain are spring pawls which engago eacli link, being uttached to a heel plate on the shoe. When the wheel Is lifted the panels engage a cog higher up than their normal position, and when the weight of the skater rests on that heel again it drives the chain downward and imparts a rotary motion to the toothed wheel, which; in turn, by a simple gear arrangement, drives the wheel which propels the skater. A trailer at the rear enables the person to keep his balance, and there is also a brake device, operated by the toe, to aid in stopping the motion. THE HOUSEHOLD COLUMN ODD DISHES IN NEW GUISE.

Ey Parker Quincy Adams. A good old southern "mammy," whom I met some years ago, declared she always cooked her beef steak in bacon fat because she knew of no other way of doing it, may have had some excuse for her ignorance, but the woman of today who reads the newspapers has no such excuse. No cook book furnishes so good a variety as some of the leading journals of today. "Try the new dishes that appeal to you." would be a good motto for every housewife. New ways of cooking everyday food products will be commended by the family.

The suggestion for cooking pork sausages given below are in that line. Try PINEAPPLE JELLY'. Pineapple, or, as it is sometimes called, "Jamaica" jelly, may be made of good canned pineapple. First soak one ounce of gelatine in half a pint of cold water for a couple of hours, and, if not properly dissolved, stand the basin containing it over a saucepan of boiling water; then add all the liquid from the tin of the pineapple, the juice of two lemons and the thinly peeled rind if one, four ounces of loaf sugar and half a pint of boiling water; strain through a jelly bag, and, if necessary, clear with the whipped whites and the shells of two eggs; have a quart mould filled with cold water, turn this out, pour in a little jelly, lay on it a few slices of fruit cut small; allow this to set add more jelly and pineapple till the mould is filled; stand for six hours before turning it out on a dish. YORKSHIRE TEA CAKES.

The delicious Yorkshire tea cakes, for which English women are famous, are easily prepared, and are suitable for breakfast and luncheon. To make them, sift a scant quarter of a tea spoonful of salt with four cupfuls of Hour, and rub into it one half cupful of solid butter; dissolvte a quarter of a yeast cake in a little tepid water, and add it to the flour, with enough milk to make as soft a dough as can be handled; roll into a very thin sheet and cut it into cakes the size of a tea saucer; place them in a warm part of the kitchen, and let them rise until they are three times as thick as they were originally; bake in a quick oven; as soon as they are done, split each one. butter it, cut it into quarters with a hot knife, and serve at once. FRIED SAUSAGES AND BANANAS. This is a new combination, and is as popular in some sections as is fried salt pork and apples in New England.

It is worthy of a trial. In preparing this delectable dish, select bananas not too ripe, nor yet too green, and pork sausagi in the link. Cut the links apart, prick with a fork to keep the skins from bursting, and lay in tne frying pan with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan; put over the fire, with the cover partially off, until the water has boiled away and the sausages are plumped; then cover closely and cook until they fire brown, shaking often to prevent their sticking and scorching: dish on a hot platter, and then, using the fat in which they are cooked as a frying medium, drop into it the bananas, peeled, sliced lengthwise and dredged with flour; cook to a golden brown and serve on the platter around the sausage. SAUSAGES AND EGGS. Get a pound of links or bag sausage, remove the skin and fry out, breaking up into small pieces: when the meat is well cooked drop in five eggs; stir together, and when the eggs are set remove and serve: this is an excellent breakfast dish for five persons.
