Hut it Is not. Ils ! validity depends merely upon tlx- abli- | ity of the r nit cd States 'o enforce It , by bluff. strategy or otherwise. It is a kind ot unwritten law of the code of nut ions. This doctrine or theory was pro nounced by ['resident James Monroe in lH2:i. The reaction in fnvor of monarchical government which fol lowed the fall of Napoleon had among its consequences the proposal of Spain to regain her South American colon lea which hud won their Independence. Russia also begun to extend her claims on the Pacific coast. It was with ref euce to such tendencies that President Monroe included in his message of 182;: this statement of the policy of the United States toward foreign powers attempting "to extend their system to his portion of the hemisphere. This doctrine was not ratified by congress, and its validity depends, us we ?nid above, not upon international law but upon our own backbone and nerve. Mr. Monroe was a captain In Wash ington's army, studied law under Mr. Jefferson and, at the time that he pro mulgated bis message, he hnd as his secretary of war, John ('. Calhoun. Association with such men as those named must have given Mr. Monroe a broad perspective of life. His elec tion to the presidency was due to his having been secretary of war to Presl Ident Madison during tint trying per iod of the war or 1812. We doubt not that hi. famous proriunciumcnto might equally as well be styled "the Calhoun doctrine," for Mr. Calhoun wau the secretary of war when this somewhat bellicose If not bellgcreut message was sent to congress. Mr. Monroe acquired tho Florida territory from Spain and recognized the independence of Mexico and the South American republics and engin eered the Missouri compromise, but It is upon his famed Monroe doctrine that his greatness will rest. In this he declared the American policy of Despotism Wi Dk^oK^r?cy'tn^O-'oHgkti^. A mon archy may become ignoble hilt an oli garchy may bo equally as mischievous In the opposite direction. An abso lute democracy is a republic, but a corrupt democracy is no more of a legitimate form of government than a degenerate monarchy. The latter Is a tyranny, while an oligarchy Is des potic in the oppressions of the ma jority upon the minority. Atistotlu observes that the oppres sion of the majority Is as cruel as the wickedness of a monarchy. "The ethical character Is the same," he says. "Both exercise despotism over the bet ter class of citizens. The demagogue, and the court favorite arc not infre quently the same Identical men, and always bear a close analogy; and there have tho principal powers, each In their respective forms of govern ment, favorites with the absolute mon arch and demagogues with a people such as I have described." Monarchy admits of republican forms being engrafted upon it more readily than republics assume any helpful features of monarchy, and a monarchy may possess many things to recommend it, though the whole be undesirable. No form of government should be accepted or rejected or reprobated up on Its abstract principles, alone. Sit uations will arise to make a democracy necessary and sometimes desirable. The reign of Nero was despotic and RAIN AS A FERTILIZER. Have you ever observed that during a drouth vegetation may droop and apparently be ready to die?but rap Idly recovers Its delightful, soothing, green aspect when the shower that has been a long time coming at length drops "upon the place beneath?" This Is dun to more than the mere grate fulness of tho vegetation. The rain that falls after a long dry spell has special fertilising agents. A writer in. tho London Lancet on the subject of "The Chemistry of Rain " says in part:' "After a drought continuing for five weeks rain fell on Saturday last generally throughout the country, and the opportunity was thus afforded of examining sam ples of rain with the view of as certaining whether tho long arid interval had affected Its compo sition in any way. Clean samples of the water caught on tho roof ' of the Lancet efflces about an . hour after . the shower . had be gun were submitted to a partial . ,analysis,with Interesting.results."* . "A. feature of the analysis was , _ : an unusual amount of ammonia : , to the. water. This, of course, bed*. i.'j -,bfrej^-.wa-Ued.. out of. th? air. [.,Th?i t oe Doctrine "neither untangling ourselves in the drolls cif Europe, nor suffering the powers of the old world to Interfere with (he affairs if,the new" and that I "any attempt to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere would lie dangerous to our peace and surety." Mr. Monroe said In that famous message: "The citizens of the United States cherish sentiments the most friendly In favor of the liberty and happiness of their fcllowiucn on that side of the Atlantic. It is only when our rights are Invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries, or make preparation for our defensiv With I he movements in the western hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected and by causes which must he obvious to all enlight ened and impartial observers. The political system of the allied powers 1b essentially different in this respect from that of America. The difference proceeds from thut which exists in I heir respective governments. "Ami Iii ihr defence of our owr wnit:h Ir-ti been achieved by I he loss o' so much blood and treasure and ma tured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under whim we have enjoyed unexampled felicity, 1'iis whole nation is devoted. "We one II,therefore, to candor,und lo the amicable r?futions existing be* tween (he Tutted States und those powers to d?chire that we should con sider nny attempt on their part to ex tend their stem to any part of this hemisphere as dangerous to our pence und safety. With the existing colon Ses im' dependencies of any European power we hove not Interfered and shall not Interfere. Hut with the governments who have declared their Independence and maintained it and whose independence we have on great consideration and Just principles ach nowledged, we could not view any in terposition for the purpose of oppres sing them or controlling in any man ner their destiny by a.iy European power in any other 1'ght than as the manifestation of nfi unfriendly dis position towards, the United States." -7-j It Always End -1->-"-~ the rum of a majority in a democracy may/be equally as cruel and tyran.il ?a?: When the agent of that major ity 1b a tryrant, is obsessed with his feeling of power, he Is an irresponsi ble bundler of power. Webster calls n despot "one who rules regardless of laws or constitution." and irresponsi ble power in human hands so naturally leads to cruelty that cruelty 'ms easi ly become associated with t.ie despot. And who in all ages have been the despots? Have they been men with minds or men with animal cravings? Nero is the one oymbollc and what was It ApolloniouB said to Vespasian? "Nothing destroyeth authority so much as the unequal and untimely in terchange of power pressed ton far, and relaxed too much." It is even handed Justice which wo want?and which we do not get from the des pot. The puny despot may amuse himself, may cackle and crack the lash of his whip as the fire af passion crackles around the edifices of honor and trust and love of country in the hearts of the people, but ob old Demetrius, the Cynic, said to Nero. "You threaten mo with death, it is nature who threatens you." It was true of those days; it was true of Diaz in Mexico; it will be true everywhere that station is obtained through cunning playing upon ignor ance?the demagogue udIdk thn con fiding people until they turn upon him. ' quantity found was equal to 0.525 grain of ammonia per gallon of the rain water. This Is about seven times the amount found, volume for volume, in rain In normal times of rainfall." The suggestion Is that the first shower ' of rain which succeeds a drought has in its augmented ferti lizing properties, and it is probable that this delayed fall serves as a spe cific stimulant to vegetation apart from the refreshing qualities of rain as rain. ABUSES OF THE AGE. .The Roman Catholic church has long been the aggressive missionary church, whatever else may be said for or against it. Among the notable mis sionaries was St. Patrick, who escap ed from captivity among the Druid priests and became a bishop of the Roman church in his later service. St. Patrick laid down a number of canons In his. ministry which have commanded the approval of those who reverence clean things and right con duct andnoble living. .One of the most effectue of the works of St. Pat rick was Iii? "Treatise on the Twelve Ahuises of the Age" aa follows: 1. Kor the preacher not to praticc his own precepts. 2. An old man without honor. 3. A young man without obedience. :;. A rich man without almsgiving, ft. A womun without modesty. (5. A chieftain without valor. 7. A contentious Christian. 8. A haughty pauper. S). A wicked king. 11). A neglectful bishop. 11. A crowd of people without dis cipline. I 12. A people without law. What a glorious thing it would be in our present age of civilization if these abuses could now be exorcised ? and had he lived in these days he would have added as a new abuse, of the age?ami one of the ruoei demor alizing -the godless, selfish, soulless, conscienceless political demagogue and trickster?a stlrrer up a strife. DK. CLINKSCALES' POSITION. It having appeared in sonic of the newspapers that Dr. Jno. 0. Clink scales hud attacked Mr. Lewis W. Parker. The Intelligencer editorially discussed this matter.yesterday. The Bpartanhurg Herald calls attention to the fact that this was an error: The campaign correspondent of The Anderson Intelligencer sent . this statement to his pappr: , "Dr. j John 0. Cllnkscales introduces a new feature today by attacking the Parker mil! merger, and its head. Lewis W. Parker, of Green ville." And that after Clinhscales had carefully prepared a state ment of his position, and, ?ccdrd-* ' ing to the News and Courier, fur " iilshed each reporter a copy. Not having before i/s 'a copy of Dr. ClinkscateB* remarks weca-it-oniy-say' that he is represented au taking a po sition in keeptng with that tof .the president of the United States on in terlocking directorates* aritf that^he did not make any direct'Vritlcia'rn of the Parker mills,' which really rep resent but about, one per cent of the textiles of this country.

Above the din, the senator was heard to say. "I'w going hack to the senate and work for you mil| people, whether you vote for me or not." To another who mocked when the speaker took up the discussion of cotton, he said "if It hadn't been for cotton, you would have been a beg gar." When the half hour had dragged through, the parting shot of the speaker was "the farmers will send E. D| Smith back to the United tSates senate, whether you allow him to make a single speech or not."
