When Froff6eor Albert JJttshcell Hart f Harvard warned the students, of the University of Chicago that it was doing President Monroe too much honor to as cribe the authorship of the Monroe doc trine to him he could have had no thought that the idea was a novel one. For many years it has been part of the regular duty of American historians to j explain that John Quincy Adams was (he real author, in so much that the re nown of the name has been the worst possible advertisement for poor Monroe. If he had obeyed his own inclinations he might at least have enjoyed an inof fensive fame and come down to us simply as the President during the era of good feeling. The two uneventful adminis trations would not have been proof that lie was incapable of dealing with events. But the doctrine into which he was car ried by the persistent and self-assertive Adams destroyed all possible presump tions in his favor. As it is expounded with earnest disputatiouo rhetoric as one of the most important utterances in our history, the orator stops in the midst of his eloquence, the writer in the midst of his dissertation, to ridicule a little figure that is tossed up on the mighty flood of words. By so much as the theme expands by so much does the figure diminish, until it seems almost a grievance that the irrelevant and imper tinent Monroe should have to be noticed at all in connection with the doctrine. There is not the slightest possibility that he will ever be crowned with the undeserved honor of its authorship, but upon the whole we should Vie thankful for him, not impatient of him, because l.n in n hnloful to our self-esteem. As we load him down with contempt, re membering all the while that he was prominent in politics for the time of the revolution, that he was Governor of Vir ginia, United States Senator, minister to France and to England, Secretary of War and twice President, we should de rive much comfort lrom his mediocrity and our own superiority. Ir a special session ol the legislature were called to meet two days In-fore the regular session, the cost to the state would amount to very little, while the caving would be thouranda of dollars if what is known as the flat salary law is passed. People who do not want the flat salary law passed oppose the special session of the legislature on the grouud of expeute when they know that some of the state officials under the present system draw down close to J-M.IHHJ a year. Both political parties in their platforms at the recent election declared for flat salaries on account of the enor mous fees drawn by some of the state officials. The only way these perquisites can be cut off is by a special session, be cause the compensation of an official can not be changed during his term of office and these officials are inaugurated with the meeting of the legislature in regular session. The objection to the cost of a special session is far outweighed by the results it would accomplish in the direct saving of money to the state Another plea hy those who do not want their salaries cut down is that it is not legal. Many of the eminent judges of the state have given it as their opinion that the legislature has the authority under the constitution as il now stands to put the state officials on flat salaries. it vou wait until these otticera are sworn in, it is certain that some of them will get their present enormous fees and salaries and it is doubtful if the compen sation of any could be clanged after their term had commenced, Now is tie time to change this if it is to be changed at all. It is not necessary to have an expensive constitutional convention to put these officials on reasonable salaries. It is hoped that the governor will see his way clear to call a special session of the legislature just before the regular session. li one nil Land Adversely Oflice Dec to Him. tltvs TIIIBTY.SIXK CAM IHS.HISnF.1) In the KiciilofTomiulsMoiicrV l. clsloii llilnir Susaliied, U. 0.

Tut Chautauqua that has just closed was perhaps the most successful held by the organization. The value of these sessions are becoming more and more recognized by the public. The open air recreation wonld alone justify the ex istence of the socie'y. To camp for ten days is of itself a great help to one ment ally and physically. When in addition to this, not only good music and other entertainment is furnished, but oppor tunity is afforded to hear such men as Watterson and Mclntyre, Sobieski and McClary, then no one can afford to miss the session who can possibly attend. There are many things yet to be desired, but these can only come gradually and with experience. The Chautauqua is on the high road to success and year by i year we can expect to see it expand both in attractive features and attendance Another chapter was tiled io the United States Land Office Saturday in relation to the famous cases of Charles E. Hayes, who contested the tuuU'r claims of about 76 settlers in Tillamook county.

The idea that our government should remain passive in the Bragg affair and await some sort of official complaint lrom Cuba before recalling tbe contemp tuous consul general will not satisfy a j ist sense of the proprieties. In default of action of Cuba we ourselves are forced to act in order to uphold our own dig nity and self respect. People who discriminate as General Bragg himself does between the private letter and the public utterance lose sight of the essential feature of the case. That is tbe simple fact that the general despises Cubans. Surely it is imma terial bow his feeling is revealed so long as it is revealed, and with a publi city as great as though he had addressed an open meet'ng. His defense is merely that be was not so indiscreet as to talk knowingly for publication. It is all a mischance so far as be is concerned. Put the secret is out just the same, and w hat he wrote bis wife bas become most decidedly tbe business of other people, in spite of bis tart comment to the con trary. Leaving the vast problem of congugal confidence and tbe unexpected that not infrequently hapjiens trorn them, we have only to consider that our consul general at Havana is deeply prejudiced against the people to whom we have accredited him. While it is true that Iiis office is not diplomatic in the broad est sense, it is clearly an indignity to keep him any longer among those people, nor is it compatable with American in terests wTftch he was appointed to pro mote.

In this event G. O. Nolan, now a junior con testant, will become the main contest ant in these cases and the only recourse Hayes will have will be to tile new con tests, in which case he vill become a junior contestant to Nolan and to Wil liam Law, who has filled junior contest ant against many of the claims.

For full information please inquire of your local agent. tbe Severance case is now reai'y lor a decision on the merits. On March C, Ji2, you denied tbe motion for a continuance for the reason that the stipnlation referred to has no application in this case, and yon dis missed the contest, subject to the right of appeal. From your decision dismissing the I contest, Hays filed his appeal, alleging error in holding that the stipulation was not applicable, and error in holding that it was necessary to take evidence in the case. In order to understand the status of these several contests commenced by Hays, it is necessary to quote from your report in the Hays vs. Severance the record of which is now in this office upon your renort. By letter of February 24, 1!K)2, you re ported in the case referred to. "In connection with this case an al leged stipulation was purporting to be on behalf on thirteen other contestee, in each of said cases Chas. E. Hays was contestant, on whose petition a hearing had been ordered by you under date of August 22, 1900. The stipulation also purported to bind William M. Hamilton and about 71 others, against whom said Charles E. Hays bad long before tiled contest affidavits. These contest affidavits had been rejected as insufficient by this office and our rejec tion was sustained by you under date of May 15, 1900, and upon appeal to the Secretary, they were again declared in sufficient by him December 8, 1900. So far as the records of this office show this stipulation was absolutely unauthorized by anybody and it is a fact that some of the contestees, having heard of it in some way, employed consul to appear at this office and protest against it." There is nothing in the record of this case to show that the parties signing tbe stipulation had any authority to appear in behalf of the contestee and there is nothing to show that the contestee ever entered an appearance in the case. The contest, therefore, stands dis missed, subject to the right of appeal.
