Special to The World.
Walter D. Dabney, late Solicitor
for the Department of State at Washington,
now Professor of Law in the 1
University of Virginia, in an an article
on the Monroe doctrine, says:
"The extent of territ^y does not
affect the principle involved, though
it may be an important consideration
in determining whether our Government
should insist on its application *
in this particular instance, Dut if a
comparatively trivial aggression by
foreign powers upon a weak South
American republic shouM appear
likely to result in similar or further i
aggressions by the same or other
powers, wisdom should suggest that 1
the doctrine be either promptly as-* (
seried or definitely abandoned by the 1
United States. That the cond:tuus t
under which the doctrine was an- <
nounced was very different from tin se j
which now exist cannot be denied. t
"I'he divine right of Kings and t
absolute royal or imperial power, (
whatever the theory may bo, arc t
practically recognized in but one oi t
the ereat Euronean nowors of tmlnv r
u i r " ' "
Englishmen, whether in the mother
country or in her colonics, scout the 1
idea that their institutions are less t
free than ours, and it is highly improb-, ?:
ible that the principles of the Holy t
Alliance will ever again be seriously 1
isserted, even on the continent of ?i
Europe. They certainly can never c
mdanger the free institutions of the s
United States. i
"It should in fairness also be said, i
n reference to the pending Anglo- c
Venezuelan controversy, that the col- v
>ny of British Guiana would probably s
tot suffer by a comparison of its pol b
ticaZ institutions with those of Veil- p
'zuela as regards the practical pro- e
ection afforded by them respectively o
o individual liberty. Perhaps Lord o
Salisbury has reference to consider- t?
tions of this sort when he says that S
he Monroe doctrine is generally in J
pplicable to the state of things in H
Jpon this suggestion the Presideut,
vithout. as lie i-avs. attemutincr marks.
f ^ ' f a
ind he undoubtedly voices the sentinents
of the people ot' the United
States, that the doctrine was 'intended
to apply to every stage ofournat- a
onal life, and cannot become obsolet o
kvhile our Republic endures.' I
"It may be remarked, too. that ^
commercial as well as political con- c
^derations lie at the basis of the Mmi- 1
roe doctrine, and if the latter have '
diminished in importance the former >
has increased since the doctrine was >
first announced. If Er.glrnd is rea* 1
ly claiming territory which of right <
is not hers, but Venezuelqs, the ease i
certainly falls wiihin the purview of 1
the Monroe doctrine, and, since Kng 1
land refuses to submit the whole controversy
to arbitration, the President
proposes the only feasible mode of
detemining what the action of tiiis
Government in the case should be ?
namely, an investigation ofthe merits
of the question by commisioners of
our own."

The Fight Against R~
Consolidation.
Gov. Evans says that just as soon
s it is shown that the real owners
if the Saul hern Railway arc the real
mrchasers of the Port Hoyal and
rVestern Carolina Road, and the reorganization
has been undertaken,
le would direct that legal proceedings
>e instituted to sec that the charter
-.?o n nmiliitil mioI tliof- tli ii
ion was not effected. 11c said tliat
ic has already advised the Secretary
?f State not to record any railroad
reorganization or charter papers until
they were referred to the Attorney
General's ollice. It the case of the
reorganization of the Port Koyal and
Western Carolina lioad could not he
reached bv the new constitution he
said that there was no doubt in his
mind that it was a case that was fully
covered by the existing statute law. |
Govenor Evans says that the people
of the State have repeatedly expressed
themselves against the consolidation
of competing /ines, and that he ex
pccts to see every fragment of law
exhausted in trying to defeat the expected
consolidation.
As to the Port Royal and Augusta
ease Governor Evans is confident as
to the final result, and lie thinks that
the Federal courts will sustain the
State courts in the matter. lie is
somewhat disappointed that the case
should have taken this long to reach
a final settlement, as it has been in
the mills of the court for over two
years.

owners of railroads may as well realize
that there is no need for them to
try and '"gobble up" competing lines
and that the State will in conformity
with the laws do everything it can
to prevent any such sonsolidations.

The little war talk that was pro.
duced in Charleston by the Pros
i dent's Jingo message to Congress
has subsided, but from all appearanc
es work at Fort SSumter is still progressing.
Capt. Abbot, the cngineci

few days since, where he is at present
at the war department. It is said
that Capt. Abbot has been summoned
for the purpose of being shown
some new plans and to receive secret j
orders ana instructions. W nether
this is true or not cannot be definite
ly said, as no infoimation can be obtained
frou Capt. Abbot's office.
Whether Capt Abbot is in Washing
ton for this purpose or not there can
be but little doubt that the work is
progressing at Sumter. The tell lalo
smoke is still rising and the Govern,
inents steamers arc constantly at the
wharf. It is probable that whether
there is war or not, that the towers

of The Ladies' Home Journal Mr.
Cok.* its editor, makes this reply:
"Girls, that is, the riglit kind of
girls, do not prefer the company^of
this _ sort. Douhtlefs, you have come
across instances where this rule haa
becu_ otherwise; so^have I. But it is
all in the seeming, and] not in th?
reality. Depend upon 'one* thing:
gir/s have as high an estimate of pur*
ity in mau as [men have of purity in
woman. There are, of course, cases
to the contrary, hut these are few
Where girls marry men who are
known to have led what is called a
w orldly life,' it is more generally due
to a misunderstanding or facts or to,
ignorance than people imagine. There
is a type cf girls who find a pecular
satisfaction in the conquest of a man
who has 'seen the worAl,' aud then
comes to her as the 0110 w oman of all
her six who can* make him happy.
This, sometimes pleases her vanity

that she has satisfied those feelings
at a very high cost. There is another
type of girl an Iio rather fancies a man
who is an hat is called 'fast.' Hut that
sort of girl is pain fit fly ignorant of
Avhat is mont l?y that word as applied
to a man. if she were not she would
he very apt to change the adjectivo
to'vulgar., And as she maturessho
finds this out. It is only young men
of upright lives who can hope to win
the favor and I eve of gilt's of high
motives, the girls Avlio make the best
wives. If, at times, the girfe seem to
favor Ad.i.g n<n tt : nether kind'
the glamcur is simply transitory. It??
is rate, very rare, that a girls bet** :

and of the highest reward, from the .
