It is now two-thirds of a ccutury since James Mouroe, wliile pnsident of the United States formulated tlie doctrine couctrtiing European interference in the political affairs of the American Conti nent which has sines then been associated with his iriui.i. In Ins annual message at the meet i n of congress in 1S23 he pro claimed to the world that tha United Statei should "consider any attempt on their the European powers of the bo ralled Holy Alliance part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere a dmgerous to o!ir peace and safety,' and that we c mid not view anv intei -po-iti mi for tlie purpose of oppressing or controlling in any manner their govern ment on the American c ntiueut whose independence we had acknowledged des tiny by any European power in any other light than as a manifestation of an un friendly disdosition toward the United States " The occasion which made this utterance necessary was tlie alliance of several European n itions to restore the Spanish Bourbons to authority in Mexico and the countries on the southern part of the continent from which they had been driven. The senate iu parsing the Edmun'V Pan trai Canal resolution by a practically unanimous vote fearlessly and emphat ically reaffirms the "Mouroe doctrine. " Against any legitimate private enter prise on this side of tlie water, by whom soever initiattd or conducted, the Unitcr1 States offers no objections, Lut no En ropean nation can assume connectioi with any such enterprise or (interfere ir any way with tlie liberty or happiness of any nation on this hemisphere without encountering the opposition of this coun try. There is neither politics nor section alism in this position. In defense of this principle citizens of all shades of partisan faith are united. The Holy Alliance dis solved more than half a century ago, nnl if any individual nation had hostile 1 signs on any part of tlie continent since the disastrous experiment of France in Mexico during our civil war, the know! edge of it has been kept carefully from the world. Nevertheless the time hail come for the United States to define li attitude anew on this question. The E l munds manifesto is scrupulously courte uus in tone. It studiously refrains fron. threats or language which can reasonably give offenss to any country. At the sanif time it proclaims, in words which th. nations concerned will understand, tha Europe must keep its hand off the Amer can continent. Glob ; Democrat.

In these later years of the Nine teenth century "everybody writes;" tun I from tho fashionablo ladv who cannot spell to th" tight ropo dancer who tlictates his "Impressiou frorn an Altitude" any one who has had any groin of vanity, or shred of adventure, en. bmlies his or her ideas or recollec tions in an article for a periodical or a volume for the circulating libraries. Yh- ther a physician becomes illustri ous through a -patient's death, or a com ic i :iger has pleased a London or Paris audience, whether an artist has painted a R-inshop. or a sculptor has carved a clown, whether a general has won a batt'e, a clergyman has been impris oned by his bishop, or a lady been dis tinguisncd in a divorce suit, one and all of these will forthwith publish something', article, monograph, nov elette, essay, reminiscence, or the let-tci-s of somebody else, without the slightest regard to whether they pos sess any literary capabilities for tho work or not. If the public has ever hci.r.l of them in any capacity, whether marching through a savage country or singing a music hall ditty, whether speaking at a public meeting or rebutting a criminal charge in the doc'i. they will all write, and they will all dud editors, publishers, and pub lics ready to receive them. A war may becomo impossible through all nations being armed to tho teeth; it may also prove in tho fuiui-o that writing and publishing wb-it is wi'itteri will become so general th::t it will cease altogether. Other methods than those now used may ni:;st Iikelv supersede printing; but, whatever tlie practical means pursued in tho future to perpetuate and gener alise human thought, it is certain that if tlie "making of hooks" (or their ety.'.ivalonts) continues to ineveaso at th-,? i ate at which it has increased in k:r-t twenty years it will become so fi i.Tl-'fu! n burden, so sickly a plague, tl:::t it will cease to have any life or ni-aiiing in it, as a locust swarm per ishes of famine from its multitude. ();:ic!.1 A IaTeloDg Lota. 7illiam Warren, the veteran come dLaof the Boston museum, had a ro :n:. nee that a newspaper writer has just :n;.do public. "Few persons," eays he, "are aware that this comedian, the mer i ic st of the merry, carried a lifelong hu.itr in his heart. In their earlier year.-. William Warren and Adelaide "Phillips were lovers. The latter had a fai'.icrof the Eccles tvpe. When mar riage was proposed to Ler 6he made this answer: "I love you, and because I love you I wi'l not marry you. This old man, my fa'- her, is helpless a sore trial, in truth :md he must look to me while he lives. I would not purchase my own happiness by a: Ming to your burden. Let ua wait, arid if tho good years to come bring fruition of our hones we will live for t a- h other then. Meanwhile I shall not ce;ise to love you, nor will I marry any otl.er man, let the end be what it may.1' 'i "ho lovers went their ways. Father F!.il!ips, though he abated not a jot of bis devotion to gin, lived on and on. Yu:ig Adelaide grew to old womanhood av.il tlie great comedian went on the list of honored veterans of whom the world spoa':s with respect. Still their love survived, and when at last their weary waiting ended, and they once more took up the old qtiestion, both found that op-p-. rtunity was come too late. "1 bey had grown old in singleness; bad formed ineradicable habits; neither h:id many years longer to remain, and well, they would live out their lives in th" way they had followed for a genera tic, i. and trust to the eternal future to iri,.'jf .'hem realization of their early dream. Adelaide Phillips went first, the strong lase and buiidicgof her love' u.i!iaken to the last. ' "nii now the c:. e. who, like Philip Ray, had waitoO .iti i life, has found the meaning there is in tho august experience of a change of "-i- " rrirJTa fcBff'r ARTISTS WITH SOAP. Gentlemen T1iu Mirror Tklr Fancies In Art Saloon. Of all classes of art and artists, from tho highest to the lowest, from Michael Angclodown to tho brush wielder who whitewashes tho back fence, there- is probably no class with whom tho public is more unfamiliar than that known in every day phraseology as "mirror dec orating." Vet ahnost everybody has seen decorated mirrors. They abound in saloons and places of public resort, and, though so common, it is a raro thing to catch the artist at his work. Elaborate scenes, graceful flowcrg, ferns and figures, or an "advance notice" of some coming theatrical attraction stand out on tho iolished glass, but how they came there or by whom they were done is a mystery to the passer by and tlie man who tarries before the bar. "Who does it?" repeated a cocktail dis penser on Madison street to a Mail repre sentative, looking up at a hugo mirror which exhibited a foreground of reeds half concealing a meditative stork, al lowing the spectator to gaze over a lake upon which a boat was sailing, and bringing his eye against a range of moun tains in tho distance. "Well, lots of fellows around town do the work as a steady job, and any number of 'seeds' tramp tho country picking up drinks, grub and occasionally a quarter, because they know how to handle a pencil or, lather, tho soap in this kind of work. "it's done witAi soap, you know pure, white soap. The man who did this piece of work was a traveler, and from the way he looked when he camo in tho other morning and struck for the job, I should judgo ho entered the city in one of the sido door palaco cars. He had a pocket ful of soap, and I told him if ho would apply a littlo of it to his face and hands, in conjunction with some water, he could use the rest on tho mirror. That's the result of his work. Looks like quite a job, doesn't it? The fellow did it in about an hour, and thought himself amply paid with three or four drinks and 25 cents." The art of mirror decorating, like every other specialty of tho kind, appears to require a peculiar knack for just that kind of business. The drawing is done with soap, and while the lines must bo loldly marked, there are opportunities for delicate shading and requirements of correct perspective which cannot.be neg lected if the sketch is to be a success. And while the decorating of a mirror in a barroom with a piece of white soap cannot be called very high art, it is stiii an art in the sense that many a poor tramp who is working only for a drink, can turn out a better piece of work in quicker time than a way up artist who has had Ids picture displayed in the academy. Tho mirror decorations commonly seen aro In only one color tho white al though many of the "soap artists" attain to higher flights and indulge in colors. What the mixtures they uso aro com posed of they consider a trado secret, but not a few of them can, with their white soap and their iittie pots of tinted paste, produce really artistic results, imitating flowers in their natural colors and ob taining a perspective, with the aid of the mirror itself, ihat is well nigh perfect. Tho" work is done very quickly by those who do it, at a very low prioo. Tho ma terials used are inexpensive, and the artist i3 generally satisfied to niako 50 cents or 1 an hour for work which conies so easy for him. There are two or three of theso mirror decorators in the city who make it a point to spread the merits of theatrical compeonies through the medium of their soap. The manager pays them for their work, and the owners of the mirrors re ceive complimentary tickets in com i t eration of allowing a neatly lettered ; .i nouncement to appear for a few tL.rv: upon the glass. And in this connection a pertinent story has been heard. It i a well known fact that the men who han ' the paint brushes, and especially the sigii writers, are decidedly reckless in the matter of orthography. Once, when "llearta of Oak" was to be given at the Academv, Col. Dan Shelby, then in charge, concluded to work tho "mirror racket," and hired a man to do the job. When the colonel went after his matutinal cocktail the next morning ho gazed at the barroom mirror and saw "Hart?, of Oke" inscribed thereon in largo letters. It was that way all over tho west 6ido, too. Tlie bartender said he should have corrected the soap artist in any reasonable error, but ho so efTec tuiHy disguised his words that ho sup posed tha plav was a new one some thing about "Mr. Hartz, of Oke." Chi cago Mail. Made Rich In Ilalf an Hour. S. R. Roger and his brother left their homes near Hastings, Mich., about four ycar3 ago and went to Breckenridge, Colo., where they worked in a stamp miil. They got possession of two claims, the "Iron Mask" and the "Kewanee," and worked them during spare hours, putting considerable time and money into them. Tho claims had been worked previously for six years by an old miner, who failed to find paying ore. Roger recently put a man in the lower one, and went to work himself. In less than half an hour, after digging about two feet, he struck gold and silver bearing carbonate of silver, said to be tho most valuable and easily worked deposit in that state. The veiii was followed to the surface, when it was found that all the previous years' work had been within eighteen inches of tho vein. The Roger brothers have been offered 100,000 for the two mines, but want 200,000. Within a week after tlii3 find 5,000 men were on the spct establishing claims, but the Rogers had secured many of tho most desirable. The mine is on the east 6ido of the mountain, and the snow necessitates keeping it rocfed over. Chicago Tribune. A Cariooa City. Imagine a city with most of its streets narrow, muddy and crovrded, where the seller of lottery tickets takes the place of the newsboy, where the pavers of the street, the conductors of tho cars, tha clerks in tho Btores, the policemen on their beats, the soldier with hi3 musket, tho barefooted men and women who peddle their wares and the very beggara .t the doorways all smoke cigarettes or cigars. The street cars carry the cofr lined dead to the cemetery, with the mourners in the cars that follow. Men, women and children, half naked and without shoes, bear the burdens that we put upon drays and wagons; water car riers peddle the limpid fluid from the aqueducts from house to house. Every other woman has a baby dangling con tented ly from a sack upon herback. Imagine the picture and you get a ftlimpso of the street scenes that you look upon about the great plaza, facing tho costly palace and tho magniiicent catj-.edral of the City of Mexico.
