Monro* Doctrln* Endangorod.

Rales at the conference of Algcclra*

liever In the validity and In the In
tegral preservation of the Monrtio
doctrine. Happily the number of cl ti
tans who so believe la a vast*; pre
ponderating majority, and those who
believe that the venerable doctrine
should be Ignored. If there be such,
would confine their utterances to
their own clique. The Monroe doc
trine is the embodiment of American
aspiration as expressed at a time
whan European monarchy still held
power on this continent This power
has now utterly and forever disap
peared. If the doctrine bo adhered to.
But does tint the participation of
our delegates 111 the Algeclras con

that It does The mitering wedge Is
thus driven, which. In deft persistence. !

Supply of Labor.
At the cotton convention recently
held In New Orleans tho question of
labor very properly occupied lhe
consideration of the delegates. On
that subject a proposition has bean
advanced which bears the signs of
soundness and rationality. It Is to
the effect that European labor should
not be sought after, but that the
needs of the south should be sup
plied from New England, excluding
even the west. This proposition will
bear study and Investigation.
Presumably when that proposition
was advanced the assumption that a
plentiful native population could be
found In the New England states
formed Its basis. Was that assump
tion correct?

Justice Deuel Grilled In
Town Topics Trial.
(New York Commercial.)
Justice Joseph M. Deuel of spe
cial sessions spent an uncomfortable
day on the stand yesterday In the
trial of Norman Hnpgood, editor of
Collier's Weekly, for criminal libel.
Justice Deuel first testified that
since 1985 he had not been counsel
for Colonel William D.Alton Mann
of Town Topics, nor had he been
counsel for the company.
Then It was brought out by the Acc
ords of the company that is 1901
Justice Deuel, who had been an of
ficer of and a stockholder in the
company, was voted n salary of *l,-
200 as ''counsel,” and got a "bonus'*
of *1,200 for ' past services." The
law says that n Justice of special
sessions must not engage In any
other business. His sslary front the
city Is *9.000 a year.
It was also shown that Justice
Deuel la an officer and director In
other publications allied with Colonel
Mann's Interests, and that he draws
a salary of SI,BOO from at least one
of them. Justice Deuel admitted that
he drew the charters for some of
these companies and that In one In
stance he got the lawyer’s fees from
the Title Guarantee & Trust Co.,
which looked Into the title of prop
erty hmißht by Colonel Mann’s
daughter and on which a honie for
Town Topics Is to he built.
District Attorney Jerome Is con
ducting the prosecution himself. Ed
ward M Hhepard nrgued questions of
law and In one Instance he said that
It might look from the way in which
the case was being conducted that.
Justice Deuel and not Mr. Ilapgooii
was on trial That was the wav It
looked to many persons In court.
Justice Deuel first told of the vari
ous Jobs he has had under the federal
government—as many as five hi n
time- and then of necoming n po
lice Justice, city magistrate Htid final
ly a Justice of special sessions He
first met Colonel Mann In 188:; In
connection with some law business
He first got stock In Town Topics
In 1896.
"Get It for nothing or pay money
for It?" asked Mr. Osborne.
"1 paid no money for It," snid tho
witness, after a long pause. "II was
for services rendered prior to 1895."
That was the year the law went
Into effect about justices engaging In
any outside business Colonel Mann's
daughter, Mrs. Emma Mann Vynne.
who later became Mrs. Wray, gave
him the stock He had been her
lawyer, he said, and she gave him
five shares. Two or three rears later
he got more stock 30 shares at *SO
a shine.
Jnsltoe Deuel couldn’t remember
that he signed reports of Town
Topics' financial standing, submitted
to the secretary of state. Mr. Os
home was gerntly surprised. He
couldn't understand why a Judge nnd
an officer of a company couldn't re
member such an important tiling.
Finally he produced two reports
signed by Justice Deuel, and then the
Justice decided that he ‘must" have
signed them.
Mr. Osborne questioned Justice
Deuel shout hts connection with the
other Colonel Mann enterprises He
Is a director In the Ess Ess Publish
ing Co., the Smart Set Publishing
Co , the Publishers' * Printers Real
ty Co. Colonel Mann is president of
all these companies.
Justice Deuel said ha read manu
scripts for the Ess-Ess company, In
fact, was one of the readers. He
never read manuscripts on the bench,
he said. lie read them at hts home.
The witness was cross-questioned at
length aPing these lines. He will
resume the stand at tdday s hear
ing.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
CIVIC CO-OPERATION.
(By Hon. Eugene A. Phllbm.)
The highest and most effective form
of municipal government will never
he attained until the rßisen Is made
to feel that not only Is Its adminis
tration na important to him aa he su
pervision of his own immediate busi
ness or professional concerns, hut
that ho can exercise a potent Influence
for Its advancement. Tho Impression
that reform movements should be sup
ported by the higher classes slone
must be rgpiovod, and real effort made
to enlist all citizens, Irrespective Of
class. To Ihose who do not enjoy so
cial or financial advantages, good gov
< rnment Is a most serious question,
and with them It Is not merely the
solution of municipal problems upon
scientific principles, hut the obtain
ing of their plain rights ns citizens. 1
Socialism has gained strength because
of the belief among the working peo
ple, that the protection of the law and
its aid are only for tho rich. In our
great cities those who have had to
ileal with the poor often lenrn of
cases of brutal disregard of the rights
of the humble citizen by the public,
servant, who frequently Is Impelled
to n performance of duty only by the
feur that neglect will Imperil the]
tenure of his office.
With the well to do, proper public
service ran always be obtained by
money or Influence, and. therefore,;
with them It means nothing more
than tho use of that which can be
freely given. If ever the common
people know an administration of
public affairs that will place them on
a par with the higher classes, so far
aa the advantages of the law arc con
cerned. the cause of good government,
will gain such allies as to render .'ta
permanent success assured.
This has never been known in New
York City. Tho reform administra
tions, lhat. have existed from time to
time, have devoted more attention to
tne so-called ''problems” than to po
licies that would involve a practical
recognition of the poor man's rights.
The office-holders have been Just ns
Inaccessible anil as far off from the
humble citizen as former officials
elected at. other times upon the reg
ular political tlcketa. While money
wan not needed, Influence was still
essential to obtain a hearing. When
the political organization was In pow
er the iininflucntlal citizen was able
to basu a claim upon political work
done nnd thus get the support of the’
local political leader, hut under a re
form administration Jie has nothing
to further his demand, except his
right ns a citizen. In cases of flag
rnnt and gross injustice only do sue
pcrsum outain reun-ss, ami then us
ually through the co-operation of the
public press.
Let there be a real alliance between
the reform element, which Is general
ly looked upon as embracing only the
upper classea, and the common peo
ple.
Let the citizen realize hla power
and his duty. Although his efforts
may apparently bring no real result,
yet the mere fact that he has mani
fested an Interest in public affairs
has been of benefit to his own Inter
ests and those of his fellow-citizens.
He must not lack confidence In the
leaders of reform movements because
they do not appenr to have had as
much practical experience In politics
as their opponents. The practical po
litician has always a wholesome re
spect for the amateur politician.
There is ever a danger that, when the
game is not played according to rule,
some situation will arise for the
treatment of which, precedent will
form no guidance. Men have often
accomplished great things because of
ignorance of what the performance
Involved. Not long ago a story ap
peared in one of the magazines (le
scribing how a farmer's wife, having
heard n noise In the barn at night,
had gone In and attacked with a
stick what she believed to be a large
dog. but which Inter turned out to
be a lion that had escaped from a
circus in the vicinity. The lion took
the beating, being overowed by the
apparent fearlessness of the woman,
and the farmer subsequently calmly
shot tho supposed dog. It was not
until the cirrus people appeared that
the truth was discovered, and then
tne woman promptly fainted with ter
ror. Thus It is with the anmteur po
litician; he Is so likely to fail to real
ize that it Is a lion he Is attacking
until the victory Is won. and then
after he has. by virtue of the conquest
become more familiar with the zoo
logy of politics, he wonders how he
over had the temerity to make the
attack. He is almost willing to ad
mit on that occasion at least, he was
a fool, since he ventured to tread in
such a dangerous environment, and It
Is more than likely that hts useful
ness will theieafler he Impaired by
tee proverbial angelic fear.
In the last election In New York
City, there occurred a very Interest

say. unnatural, success of the ama

the same result, so that it seemed
assured beyond all question the Sen
ator would retain his hold upon the
constituency as long as he desired.
lAst autumn, however, a David ap
peared In the field, and although he
was regarded with the name lack of
respect as his predecessors, he was
wanting in appreciation of the fact
mat he was attacking a lion, and he
persistently and earnestly made his
eanvass, in his own way, and ignored
the tactics usually pursued Goliath
followed the customary methods and
serenely awaited election day and his (
usual victory. But whether it was the
novelty of the policy followed by
David or whether the people had got
ten to be a little restless under the
feeling that the Senator looked upon
them as hia absolute property, the
fact was, that defeat came for the
first time, and the young amateur
won.
The greatest single cause of mis
government Is a lack of faith In the
enforcement, of the law. particularly
so far as it. relates to the ordinary
administration of public affairs. And
In this regard, strange to say. the two
greatest factors are the poor and un-
Influential citizen, and the great ag
gregation of capital. The first feels
that unless he helps the office-holder
In Ills polities, he cannot obtain his
rights: the second, that unless it pays
for Immunity, It will he
In both cases, the obtaining of con
slderatlon for such inducements, leads
to efTorts to obtain favors in viola
tion of the law.
The active and determined interest
and co-operation of every non-political
citizen would surely result In placing
municipal government upon the high
est plane. The problems then to be
solved would not Involve merely a
consideration of tho best methods io
deal with corruption, as is now tho
case, but a study of the course to be
followed to obtain for the people of
all classes, and the Interests with
which they are Identified, the benefit
of a proper administration of the law
nnd an equltnble dispensation of jus

Sugar and the Philippines.
(N. Y. Tribune.)
The case made against the Phlllu
plne tariff bill by republican "In
surgents' In the house of representa
tives has been singularly illogical and
Ineffective. They have substituted
glittering generalities for tangible ar
guments and demonstrable facts.
Most of the opposition comes from
members In whose districts the beet
sugar industry has been established,
and the burden of their complaint has
been that the Payne bill sacrifices
the American sugar producer out of
a mistaken impulse of generosity to
ward the "brown hrother" in the
Philippines. This Is an echo—and
a feeble echo —of the argument made
against reciprocity with Cuba. Four
years ago the same protest was heard
from the same quarter. The sugar
and tobacco interests were convinced
that the admission of Cuban sugar
and tobacco at reduced rates spelled
ruin for their market. Congress, it
was neglecting the welfare of its own
j household and plunging into senti
mental foreign charities. It was
said now. that w*e were stripping our
own people of the profits of their in
dustry and turning those profits over
to strangers.
More deference would he paid this
argument today if it had not failed
entirely In the practice we have had
J under our reciprocity agreement with
Cuba. We allowed the Cuban pro
ducer of sugar a rebate in duty of
( JO per cent, yet apparently that con
, cession has not ruined the Ameri-

can sugar industry. The America»
sugar planter has not been forced to !
sell his crop at 80 per cent of its for
mer price simply* because the Cuban
planter pays 20 per cent, less duty on
the sugar he sends to this country.
Sugar values are not determined by ,
so (ample r process. According to i
figures just issued by the bureau of f
statistics of ihe department, of com
merce and labor, the United States
consumed In the fiscal year 1901-’OS
5,932,051.256 pounds of sugar. Of
this total 1,167,250,560 pounds were
produced at home. Cuba sent us 2,-
057,690,839 pounds, Java 899.394,575
pounds and Hawaii 832,721,387
pounds. The rest came from Porto
Rico, Germany, Belgium. Mexico, the •
Philippines, the West Indies (o'her
than Cuba and Torto Rico) and South |
America.
The product of Hawaii and Porto
Rico conics in free, the product of]
Cuba pays iO per cent, of the Ding
ley raies, the product of the Philip
pines 75 pe r cent., the product of
Java, Germany and the rest of the
world the full Dtngley duty. Of
the 4,800,000 pounds which we im
port 33 per cent., roughly speaking.
Is subject to full tariff rates and 22
per cent, to no traiff rate at all. The
other 45 per cent, pays either 75 or
80 per cent, of the full duty. Prices
here, so far as the tariff affects thpm,
must therefore he a composite of all
those contending rates and competing
forces, and the favored producers
are more likely to sell at the rate
of the unfavored than tney are to
hreak the market by cutting. The
Philippines sent us in i904-'OS 77.-
997.424 pounds of sugar—less than
1 1-2 per cent, of our total consump
tion. Whether this sugar comes rn
free, at 25 per cent, of the Dinglev
rates or at 75 per cent, makes no
practical difference to the producer
here. A contribution so small is but
a drop in the bucket. It can have
tin effect whatever in determining
skifyii- values in our market. The op
ponents of the Payne hill are shrewd,
perhaps, in sticking to rhetoric. They
canhot support their case by any ar
gittfibnts based on economic condi
or practical experience.
Hospital Cars on Railways.
'J, (New York Tribune.)
In'. Its latest issue ‘ Engineering
News” describes what is probably the
most elaborate provision ever made
by a' railroad company for the care
of injured passengers. A special car
has been completed for the Southern
Pacific In which there are twelve
berths, quarters for a surgeon, an op
erating room and a kitchen. The same
corporation has ordered several other
cars, ri whieh are not so commodious or
expensive, but which are to serve the
same,general purpose. In taking Ibis
action the Southern Pacific is not set
ting it new example, hut the hospital
car is at present n good deal of a!
novelty. It has been adopted on only
a very few lines, and its central idea
has, in the particular specimen here
referred to, been worked out with a
completeness that appears to have no
precedent.
If a car costing, as this one did,
SIB,OOO, were to stand idl-- most of its
life time, there might be a question
of the expediency of the investment:
but it appears that the Southern Pa
cific car is adapted to more than a
single class .of service. The berths
may be deposited In receptacles under
the floor and* replaced with comfort
able chairs. A similar disposition may
be made of the surgeon's table. When
It Is not deemed advisable to keep It
in readiness for emergency demands,
the car could be devoted io private
use, either by railway officials or per
sons who wished to charter it.
I Vhere is another consideration
which might he regarded as a more
serious objection than the one just,
mentioned to imitating the course of,
; the Southern Pacific. Inasmuch as
no one can foresee exactly where an
accident will happen. It would be ne
cessary to have a number of these
cars, suitably distributed to meet the
requirements of an extensive railwav
system like the Southern Pacific or
some of the eastern roads which have
determined to employ them. On the
other hand, the voluntary adoption of
means to reduce the suffering of in
jured passengers and increase their
chances of recovery ought to prove
advantageous to any transportation
company employing them. Much ig
norant prejudice might be removed by
j the pursuance of so conspicuously hu
-1 mane a policy, and popular good will
is sometimes convertible into profits.
Even If the necessity for using them
