OTIIJL DEMOCRATIC.
' It Is not the (businc+4 of the United
States to protect the smaill and disor
derly rqpUbUott of the soifnham halt of
this hemisphere from all the oonsc-
queued* of ttSiilir m’-soototuet townrd
the governunenitii of Europe or their
subjects. The 'Monroe doctrine cannot
be strstdhed that far.
But i;he'iMouroe dootrine ought to
have life enough left in It Ito prevent
European paw.no from using offenses
against their niproaentnllves or Citizens
as a cover under which to make con-
quests on this continual. It oannot
offer much to our government or peo
ple what Indemnity Groat Britain ex-
nets from Xlcu i'jgitki for Ihv eSpUlexm
of the British consul from Bluiifldds.
They need not coneuttn thoimWLvos to
discover whether or not Great Britain
Is right or wrong In making a> demand
for repartition. But if the Br.tirtt gov
ernment’s purpose is to make the terms
so blind 'that Nicaragua canine*, comply
with them, with the Intention of seiz
ing Niuaraguan territory as n pledge
for their fuUUlment, than our govern
ment ought to call a halt lit no uncer
tain language. We are under no ob
ligation to defend the Interests of Nlc-
uragna, ibu; a seiaure of Nicaraguan ter
ritory would threaten our own. No war
will be necessary 'to prevent such a
seizure. All that Is nececmry for
our government to do la »o let Great
Britain know tlxtt ithe seizure of terri
tory under the pretense pf compelling
the payment of a ilelit will be regarded
ns an attack upon the United States.
CONTRADICTING # WOIIDS AND
lAtCTIS.
The St Louis Glcbo-Democrat
Is beppy over the prospect that
in 1900, If no- in 1890, ithe
Republicans will capture Georgia.
Their is again » Republican party In
the state, It says, and ithe party Is re-
eelring Irhe support of thousands of
men wtao lravo herotaforo voted the
Democratic ticket, and win finally re
ceive also the support of Whose who
Wave snapped temporarily (n the half
way house of 'Populism. The evidence
on Which the GWbe-Dmniocrat bases Ms
hopes seems to us deceptive. lit thinks,
because dir. Colli ds of Allrada has be
come a Republican because ho is pro
tectionist, that therefore all men In
Georgia iwhio arc dissatisfied with the
Democratic party are also protecWon-
tolta. When the test comes, ft Will
find ItsdVf very much disappointed With
the result. There may be a growth of
Republicanism In this state, awl It may
be that the Papultsts m their Interne
antagonism tin the Democracy will go
over to the 'Republican party, bult It
wtQ find that the mass of dissatisfied
Democrats are not dlsbaltlsfled with
Democratic principles, but merely dis
gusted with the ln- ompetenny of the
Democratic party when entrusted with
power on the last occasion. Tha.t ln-
coropotency was perhaps Inevitable.
For a generation the party Wad bet®
merely one of opposition. It had gath
ered Inito Its fold all those apposed to
Republicanism. When It found Itself
In power, it also found 'jtsrilf helpless
to oarry out Its programme beaause
some of 'the elements which voted with
It did not approve that programme,
though 'they had aocqp ed It at the ejec
tion. They were etuurtlfH of Republi
canism rather than friends of Dem
ocracy. Where these people -will find
n home for themselves hereafter we
do not knew, but wc think that expe
rience has taught Democracy a valua
ble lesson, and that herea.fl.er, when St
gees (o the polls. It will be w.th n defi
nite purpose, understood hy atl men,
and sure to bo enforced if the party is
cntru.-4:cd with power. Under such cir
cumstance* th.< OljbeiDmwocrat will
find that the mass of Democrats are
still Democrats, anil bit Georgia Is a
solidly Democratic state.

of them sucoumbeld to tite accllraatiog

wootl be In each coin, gold and silver,
an-equal amount of metal, in vita*, a*
fixed by traneictioHB is the markets.
MrtSody not 1 recent yearn ever tboocht
of proceeding on t different principle.
UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD.
The doctrine of universal brother-
h<K>d of man Is a fundamental princi
ple In almost every church creed, it
oocuplth a prominent place In the rit
ual* of almost all secret and benevolent
associations, yet almost without excep
tion it la only a dead letter.
The true Idea of universal brother
hood, grand and elevating in Itself,
has degenerated to a maudlin hollow
mockery, a species of charity, humili
ating. condescension and ostentations
superiority.
it Is one of the few relics that re
mains to us of a glorious and ancient
past, when men loved each other, and
might did not constitute right. Men
have become Idolaters, fanatics In their
^worship of gods of silver and gold, pros
tituting overy noble element within
them to the greed of gain of wealth or
power, trampling on the right* of their
fellows without regard to Justice Or
humanity. It is thcougtvthe Instrumen
tality of thl* class 'that unnatural and
pernicious condition* have been created
which endanger the peace and almost
the very life of the world, and threaten
a rcnttnal of the barbarity, superstition
and Ignorance of medelval centuries.
The adherent* of this doctrine may
be divided Into three clsam-s. To the
first belong those who have a maudlin
Sentimental notion that men should be
more harmonious and leas greedy, but
not having the requisite force of char
acter or will power to stem the tide
of popular opinion are over-ridden and
Intimidated Into alienee.
The second class, viewing the Injus
tices and heartlonsnees of men rush
hither and thither demanding redress,
becoming living firebrand* of hate and
indignation, fiends In humane ehape
and are finally consumed by the heat
of their own passion. •
Th* third clam stand a bulwark of
strength between hclplest humanity and
the horde* of human wolves In sheeps’
clothing, who under cover of the man
tle of the civurvh or the benevolent
character of secret fraternities would
enslave no* only the bodies but the
very souls of their weaker brothers.
These calm, brave, wise men, not
withstanding the general confusion of
Ideas concerning this doctrine, not de
ceived by the fawning hypocrisy of the
covetouw, not dlemayed by the Insincer
ity and Inconstancy of men, stand ready
to sacrifice on the altar of humanity
all that seems to tha finite mind moot
desirable to be retained.
Universal brotherhood aside from the
standpoint of common justice or human
companion, has It* scientific and meta
physical aspect.
Ancient sages and metaphysicians of
the most -profound learning, taught the
emanation from one wnsree of all things
the correlation nf *11 forces and powers,
forming the Indivisibility of the uni
verse. On this unity the doctrine of
unlvoraal brotherhood of mankind t*
baaed. They teach the existence of a
universal mind of which the Individual
mind I* an Inflnltlsmnl portion, of an
universal Immortal world soul, of which
th* foul of each of us Is a radiation.
All are thus bound by the tie* of com
mon origin. Indissolubly connected by
kinship to that Immortal essence the Ex
haustless Parent of us all. In the weak
est of us there exist* with active or
tatc-i.t pouslblini#* for good which can
not be estimated, oocurencles generally
considered Insignificant In themselves
produce tremendous results, a loving
word, * bright smile, a helpful thought
consciously directed will help to soften
and mellow the temper of a whole city
and lighten the load of care and sor
row which burdens many a human
heart, and returns to Its source-laden
peace and content.
A scowl, an angry word, a malicious
thought, are as Infective and Increase
the misery and discontent of the world.
A little pebble tossed Jnto a take dis
turbs every atom therein and produce*
vibration* innumerable In space. How
few there are who correctly estimate
the power of though coupled with love.
It t* a radiant and humanblng Influence.
With hate It Is as poisonous a* tha
breath of a viper. ASscIpful, loving
thought I* potent to transmit anger
Into admtrattbn and respect.
Condition* and environments are only
apparent, not reel, hiw the transitory
experience* of th* rent man passing
thought * pilgrimage of necessity.
The whole race Is engaged In the ef
fort to evolve spiritual self knowledge,
which is that necessity, no two men
are at the same stage of progress at
the same time. There are different ex
perience*. different method* yet all are
as one man working toward* the same
goal. On cannot separate himself from
the whole, and any effort to do so will
result In extinction, the elevation or
degradaftfon of • part erects the whole.
Mllllnlum will never come until by a
mighty harmonious effort the race ele
vates Itself to that plane of unselfish-
mm and aelflesaenas which la that
mllllnlum. Therefore lend a strong,
steady band to lift from the soul
of the race the heavy pall of Ig
norance, aenstiRlIty and pain. Regard
every man passing through till* cycle
of crime and vice a* a suffering brother
and Instead of contempt render love and
aid. Do not shrink from contact with
