THE MONROE DOCWRINE.
The New York World very properly
says that “no European country Which
does not intend to declare weir ou :tie
United States w(U attempt to violate
the Monroe doctrine, but there Is noth
in* m the Monroe doctrine to prevent
South American countries from getting
soundly whipped when they deserve it.
This Is tihoir affair, not ours.”
The dispatches reponied yesterday re
ported that u British Beet had entered
the harbor of Coitmto, Nicaragua, and
would seize the custom house and col
lect the Import du-Mes until the British
(Salsa against Nicaragua for the troit-
ment of Consul Hutch Is satisfied.
There Is no question about this being
a hlglhdsanded way of iron ting Nica
ragua. It Is adopted by Great Britain
In preference to declaring war on that
country. The British government, In
effeot, says to Nicaragua, “you arc 'too
amt:ill end conieinplIiNo to make war
on, Wt you have seized and imptfs-
oned one of my olftohils, wilthout Just
o.i use, treating him with great cruelty,
end I mma to punish you for your act.
I wilt do it by making you pay a con-
sidor-altilo amount of money, and if you
wtU nok pay willingly I will squoczc
It oil* of you.”
We do not see anything in tills act
that violates the Monroe doctrine. The
United States did no* undertake to
pro*nett the hnlf-toattnnou* countries of
Central America, whore such a thing
as orderly and rvsponsUitu government
Is hardly known, from the conse
quences of their bad acts. If It were
to undertake to do such a thing it
would, in the first place, keep itself
oonstan ly In trouble, and, In Ibe sec
ond, It would In effect Issue a license
to every • Bipnlsh-t-Vipetlf an adret*
turer who hid seized upon a govern
ment to rob and murder at his pleas
ure all foreigners he might find la the
oountry.
The tMbnroe dbdtrlne, as we under
stood li, was not iha*ed primarily on
a tlerfre on the part of the United
States to serve the Intercuts of these
htalf-bakeil republics, bat I s own. At
the Bine K was ad<qittxl as a rule of
conduit by our government, there was
serious (Unger of European aarrcaslon
on tb s continent European monunrhs
had not bectmie aoouts:otmul to the Idea
that people had a right to govern them
selves. They resented the existence of
rttpifMtai on this continent, as sc: ting
a trad example to the tpeoplc of Europe.
The United States government, there
fore, wus obliged to Issue the warning
lhat, If Eu raped u ntonarehs inanlfiwted
their hosttllMy to rtapUblicun govern
ment on this oontrlnent by Hiking steps
calculated to break It (1 twit, titty must
count on the opposition of the United
States. Ah tve have sad, our govern
ment, Id doing this, was seeking pri
marily to protect our own republic.
The danger of European aggression is
lera now than then in the proportion
thit repaid es have Justified their ex
istence tn the poular mind of the
world, and also in the propnrttton that
the Strength of tho Uoi'ed Suites has
increased. It is still the duty of the
United States government to protect
the republic ngu'nst European a at res-
son that threatens nrther tin existence
or Its prosperity, but that duty cannot
bo stratrbed so far ns to ptit the army,
the navy and the wealth of the United
States nt tho service of SpanlsbaAtner-
loan «dvcu urnrn who, having seized
control of their own countries by force
of arms, proceed ho harry foreigners
who may have c residence in those
countries. Oar govomtnont oneiKl com
mit ao graver crime than <o Involve
this country in war with Croat Britain
In 4 quarrel strlcb has no better cause
than the dofeuse of Nuusnigua front
the consesiuisiois of her Ind acts. It
Is our opinion that Nicaragua and all
other Central and South American re-
pubHort, so culled, but wtfieh are ch'efly
distinguished by the fact that tbo peo
ple ha eo no voice in the government,
should be taught that though their own
citizens may have oo rights, yet for
ego era have rights which must be re
spected.

HATES.
Never before in (be history of the
South has this country been so thor
oughly Wen adrccttsAl as It !* at the
present rime. Tho result Is u very de
cide! Improredon that the Sou h Is a
good thing and the men. who have been
karpinc their money In the North have
about made up their at nils to shift
their tnreaturents. I; is said tliat s
nijvcutcot Is ou foot to abolish die laud
seekers' excursion rates to tho South.
We sincerely (hope that If t he railroads
are seriously ttxmnltdering 'this stop they
will giro Who matter modt mature
thought before they ao:. Of course the
railroads know theft own business best,
but whHe they poBBiWy Miink that peo-
plo will come anyway, and itfb.iit there
fore «hey have a right to toko advan
tage of the sttuatlou, wc cannot help
tbiuMng that many pecple who are
merely prospectors will be lost to the
South by Ibis somewha t dbort-rtghted
policy. Capital Is prwapociting. If It
Is given »i»pontuni!ty to prospect at rc-
duoud raitca lit twill mere readily oome
and. once here, wo believe that li will
remain.
When the people of the North and
West come down hero and Investtgute,
looking' Into the conditions that ouu»e
so much Inemtt In the South; when
they realize how gladly our people wel
come the betlter class of Immigrants,
they util be satcisfied thlat there la good
cause for all that is being said, am!
will either tody properly a* once or re
turn home, sell WMat they (have and
move to tho South.
We hope tthatt ithe land seekers’ ex
cursion rates will not be taken off.
iMAtm' IS A GOOD TOWN.
Under the heading “Macon Not a Bad
Town,” (Mr. Dupont Guemy takes up
the cudgels and hits the croaker and
tthe pettenilst some Irani wraps. Wo
are glad of It. The geuiiUmntt can bit
hard, and we don't o.tre bow hard he
hits uhe gnuanfbler who thas been suoh

utVimV cast down and "dimiyped" out

Mr. Guerry makes an appeal for the
'truth, the wholo 'truth ami nothing but
the iruth, about iMtioon. The Telegraph
bas endeavored to be omsorvativcly
truthful tn all tts staltemxtls, nnd it
now goets fun her titan (Mr. Guerry and
says without hesitation that Macon,
comparatively speaking, is a good
town; tbo record shows uhnt It 1s a
good town and i s people—'Who are not
Inclined to be hypercritical and avho

THE FIGHT FOR HONEST MONEY
The men who believe In a safe and
sound currency have heretofore un
doubtedly utMien-f-i lie i the free sil
ver movement. It seemed impsulltle
to them that any very large number
of voteni could bo ltd to believe that
na’lonal prosperity can be founded
upon a semi-repudiation not, or that u
currency fluctuating In value and dif
ferent tn character from that employed
by other civilized nations Is desiriMe.
Their mistake was undoUbedly due
to a failure to appreciate the disturb
ing Influence on men's minds cf tbo
extreme d.pnwslon tn business which
has ehioterized the last four or five
years. Men who suffer acutely are
nor *pt to bo reosuoable, but (ibis fact
was fongottea.
Now, however, tho frtendb of sound
money—and (hey are. In the main,
the Ixret friemh of him aialllsn—tiro
wildng up and going to wtrk. That
President Otnvebind lue ordered the
government employes to oflgaoisoa cam
pi'gn against free ootoage. as rest-r od
by hi* enemies. Is of course untrue.
Th*t is bat a part of tho general plao
of campaign, king ago aihpt.il by
those enemies, twhUh Is to aapenk: tho
motives and destroy the reputation of
every p»fc«c man opposed to their
claws. The “sound ns>ney" conven
tion which twill be bold in Mensphis on
May 13 W the oUDcnme of a deterenina-
Ron tbs* the rational honor and tho
cst'oral character for goad buttnesa
sense shall not go without an active
defense. That meeting will dotubli
bo fittowed by n bus, and in every
psrt of the country the friend* of
sound money twill take up the tight.
In the Sooth they hsve been re
strained by Hie hope that Che free nil-
v-r movement, like tho greenback
mov-msut, which it so g;.aUy rentm-
bles, would die n natural death, with
out having done tho Dnnwra io party
mucti harm. IWr they begin to re
alize that the Democratic party Is no
longer dear to those who differ with
tlmm In opinion on the currency ques
tion, and that unless the movau -nt to
ward flat money Is checked the fu
ture has nothing in store for the par-
tty but defcab-and nothing fir the
country but dhhonor and dlscr dlt
THE RVSTEItiN PHAJOB TREATY.
Whist the iwar between Jo,pm ond
(Itlna iM-gan a groat deal was wild In
tthe cablegrams about uhe moral support,
g vod 'he latter country by Qre.it Brit
ain. For montln the tworid (was given
to undctfAund that Great Britain wished
to Interfere In Ob'InaV bdhatf and only
retfralnod from doing so because Japan
was backed by JUtssis and Franco. All
along it was said tha * 1 : iwhcn Japan
bad won her vlotocy. Geest Britain
would prevent her, 1f possfltle, from
reaping (be fruits property belonging
to U.
It l» almost amusing to oampiro '.ho
ntitlirude of the various European powers
toward the hwo lateVy wanting nations,
now 'tiit po.iee has Ijobd chclsrod,
w.tti tint ascribed to them bcrottriire
by the Industrious wr iters of telegrams.
Japan has named .the termn of peace,
Ohirn has accepted ';hf»n, anil Great
Britain, Instead of protreiHng. regards
the sttuntiion with great oamplacency,
while the French and Russian nows-
pniters antgrily declare that Jap in rial)

The explanation of Groat Britain's
unexpooted aWItutte can perhaps be
found In tthe opening up of China to
fore'gn enterprise provldal for In '.lie
treaty. The' remit of the war is prac
tically wtat H would have been. In the
most Important Ttvtpeflt from he Brit
ish standpoint, had the victorious army
been British. It is to dear the path
for trade that (her armies tuko tho
field m<Mt fr.vpteofUy, and Grcit Brit
ain certainty hag no cause for com-
phtint tf the Japanese save titetn the
trouble and expense of •jpoilng up
Obdoa. As the markets of Great Brit
ain and ber anionics are open <-n equal
terms to everylxaly. the British cer
tainty expert and des'.rc nothing
better than an equal showing avWh
everylxdy else, and the treaty gives
them that.
