THR speech of Governor Matthews, of this State at Philadelphia, Nov. 2!st, in favor of the Cuban patriots, has the right tone. America is favorable to recognizing the rights of the Cubans Sp-"'n has oppressed those people too long already.
THE people should give trusts a dose of their own medicine. The big leather trust htfs shut down a lot of tanneries in order to advance the price of leather and lower the price of hides, the raw material which the farmers sell. The presidents of 15 railroads running out from the Atlantic seaboard have poeled their issues, and freight rates are kept up not withstanding the decrease in the prices of products both of the farm and the factory, but the farmer pays the freight both ways.
A CKOSS RAILROAD WANTED.
Forty-two Firms Pay $85,573.97 Freight Bills in Nine Mouths. St me gentlemen "ecently took the pains to secure from nnmbi of the leading shippers of Cre-nfiexd tli? amount of their freight bills *i. J.4U. 1st to Oct. 1st, 1S9£. Forty-tw jin,.s and business men, includir,., the largest shippers, were interviewed and they reported their freight bills as folio
In-bound freight $40,036 .bo, out-bound $44,637.42, or a total of.$85,573 97. This would make the total for the year $114,098.63, but as the latter three months of the year are probably the best for freight, the grand total would probably run up to $120,000 for the 42 firms. As there are fully that many more smaller firms who do considerable, and many private citizens including farmers who ship or receive freight here, the grand-total for all the freight business in and out of this city would run up to $150,000 per year or more. The passenger business also runs up a large sum. Another railroad in here would give Greenfield better facilities for factories, as they could secure cheaper freight rates. With two railroads here we would be able to secure some additional factories and thus largely increase our freight business, Another railroad and new factories would bring in so much additional property that it would reduce our tax rate. Auother railroad by securing better freight rates would make Greenfield a better grain market and enable farmers to get from one to three cents a bushel more for grain. The fact is a cross railroad would benefit all classes here, merchants, manufacturers, laboring men, build'.-rs, lYirmers etc., as it would br.'ng increased business to the city, give us letter freight rates both out and in, and have a tendency to reduce the tax rate. As across railroad would benefit everybody, all so far as heard from are unanimously in favor of the enterprise. Let our people get together, formulate plnns and then make a long pull, a strong puli au-1 a pull altogether un..il we secure this new railroad. Keep a pushing.

SHOT THREE.
Drunken Ma* in Texas Opens Fire on the Street—One Victim Dead. TERRELL, Tex., Nov. 22.—While the Green Zouaves were drilling last night F. M. Joyce, a saloon man, fired four shots at W. E. Oglesby, who was standing in the street, a good deal under the influence of liquor. One shot fatally wounded Oglesby, a second instantly killed S. S. Huckahy, a prominent young man, and a third went through the right arm of B. H. Scott, Jr., probably necessitating amputation.
Huckaby and Scott are members of the Zouaves, and were drilling when shot down.
Friends immediately got hold cf Joyce, and, with the aid of officers, hurried him away from the crowd, which was frenzied with anger.
There will probably be a lynching within the nest 24 hours.
Will Make Bicycles.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 22.—The Mills-Barr-Ratcliffe company of this city was incorporated yesterday by ex-Governor Campbell, his son-in-law, John M. Taylor, Edmund N. Hatcher, E. B. Hatcher and Samuel G. Osborn. This is the company for -whose organization Campbell was called to New York last week. The articles of incorporation state that the company will make bicycles and other patented articles, but it is understood that it has secured a patent pneumatic tire that is far superior to anything in the market. The capital stock is SI 5,000. The concern will be located here.
Poison in the Pen.
COLUMBUS, O., NOV. 22.—Webster Copeland, colored convict sent from Butler couty to serve a two-year sentence for burglary and larceny, died suddenly in the penitentiary hospital yesterday. The cause of his death is not known. George Freeliart, sent from Athens couuty for cutting Marshal Hargraves of Nelsonville, developed symptoms of strychnine poisoning and is in a precarious condition. Where he could have procured the poison is a mystery to the prison officials.

MONROE DOCTRINE.
FACTS CONCERNING ITS ORIGIN AND WHAT IT SIGNIFIES.
First
Suggested by
an English Statesman.
Submitted to Jefferson and Madison, Who Approved It—Never Received Congressional Affirmation.
It is a singular fact that the Monroe doctrine is of British origin. In 1823 George Canning, British foreign secretary of state, suggested that the United States government should take decided ground against interference by the "holy alliance" in Mexico and South America, where the Spanish colonies had established their independency.?
The "holy alliance" was a union of Austria, France, Prussia and Russia for the maintenance of the European monarchies. It was formed soon after the Napoleonic wars and was renewed and strengthened in 1820, when uprisings occurred in several countries of Europe. Great Britain had been asked to join the combination, and some steps had been taken in that direction under Lord Castlereagh. On his death by suicide Canning became foreign minister, and under his guidance Great Britain held aloof from the continental alliance.
The United States had recognized the independence of Mexico and the other revolted Spanish colonies, and Canning was inclined to pursue the same course. In 1823 he suggested to Richard Rush, United States minister at London, that this government should express in a forcible manner its opposition to intervention by the European powers in behalf of Spain against its colonies which had rejected allegiance.
This suggestion was conveyed to President Monroe through John Quincy Adams, the American secretary of state. President Monroe submitted the proposition of Canning to Jefferson and Madison for tlieir opinion on the subject. Jefferson's answer was prompt and decisive in favor of such a declaration as Canning had suggested. He said it was the most momentous question submitted for his opinion since the Declaration of Independence. Madison approved of Jefferson's opinion and equally appreciated the importance of the question.
Under these circumstances President Monroe, in his annual message Dec. 2, 1823, expressed the doctrine that has 6ince borne his name. There had been some correspondence with Russia aud Great Britain in regard to boundary treaties, which the president described, adding: "In the discussions to which this interest has given rise, and in the arrangements by which hey may terminate, the occasion u- been judged proper for asserting as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects of colonization by any European powers."
In the same message, referring to the insurrections in Europe, President Monroe said that the United States would always be anxious and interested spectators of events, but declared: "In the mass of European powers in matters relating to themselves we have never taken any part, nor does it comport with our policy to do so. It is only when our rights are invaded or seriously menaced that we resent injuries or make preparations for defense. With the movements in this hemisphere we are of necessity more immediately connected, and by causes which must be obvious to all enlightened and impartial observers "The political system of the allied powers is essentially different in this respect from that of America. This difference proceeds from that which exists in their respective governments. And to the defense of our own, which has been acquired by the loss of so much blood and treasure, and matured by the wisdom of their most enlightened citizens, and under which we have enjoyed unexampled felicity, this whole nation is devoted. We owe it, therefore, to the candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their parts to extend their system to this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. With the existing colonies or dependencies of any European government we have not interfered and shall not interfere. But with the governments that have declared their independence and maintained it and whose independence we have on great consideration and on just principles acknowledged, we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, in any other light than as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States."
This is the Monroe doctrine: 1. No new European colonies on this hemisphere. 2. No interference with colonies of European powers now existing. 8. No interference by any European power with the affairs of any American nation. It is but justice to say that the vigorous language in which it is expressed evidently came from the able and caustic pen of John Q. Adams, secretary of state. John C. Calhoun was secretary of war in the same cabinet and approved the positions taken by the president.
This doctrine never has been affirmed by congress. In fact, it has beenrejected repeatedly when resolutions were offered approving the acts of the government on the subject. But it has been reaffirmed by every administration since that of Monroe in one form or another. The vigorous declarations of Mr. Seward and the commencement of preparations for their enforcement drove France and Spain from Mexico and secured the reestablishment of the republic after the death of Maximilian. It is tbe doctrine of the American people and never will be abandoned.—Chicago Chronicle.
ONE GIRL'S EXPERIENCE.
The Man Who Knows How to Dance Well Knows Little Else. She had been to a party the night before, and she was looking correspondingly pale, tired and interesting. When I saw her she had just eaten a hearty breakfast. "Did you have a good time last night?" I inquired, beaming at her with my best smile. "No, I didn't," she said shortly. "Why, dear? Don't you have plenty of partners?" "Oh, yes, of course. But I've discovered one thing (looking very wise and important), and that is, that the nicest men either can't dance or won't dance. They stand around and look bored, while we poor girls have to waltz with the clowns. They are splendid partners, but they're such dummies aside from their dancing. In between dances time drags horribly. One says the same old things to each man: 'Do you like to dance, Mr. Stupid? Really? How interesting? 'Nice floor, isn't it? Yes, such a pretty ballroom. The hostess is sweet, isn't she? Such a delightful homo, too, —etc., ad nauseam. "Then if a girl does get a sensible, bright fellow to ask her to dance this is what happens."
She threw open her closet door and brought out the finery which had been worn the night before. The tulle ruffle around the bottom was torn into rags and the tips of the white satin slippers had been trodden upon till none of their original purity of color remained. "Did you go to thecircus?" asked the girl irrelevantly. "Yes," responded I, wondering what that led up to. "Then you saw the elephants dance a quadrille. Didn't they do it well? I am sure that half the partners I have don't dance half as well as those great big, silly looking elephants. A man who walks on one's gown, treads on one's toes, tears one's flounces and smashes one's fan is sure to be a college professor. And the fellow who waltes divinely and can twostep like an angel is certain to be a brainless dolt. Write that on your bloomers for future reference," and this flippant young person began darning her ball dress with seemingly needless force.—Chicago Record.
FOILING THE FIRE FIEND.
A Good Thing That Pushes Itself Along In a Beautiful Way. A merchant of Gowanda has invented a most remarkable apparatus for saving stocks of goods from fire. Instead of putting out the fire, the apparatus opens the front of the store, and the counters, cases and shelving roll out into the street into their owner's arms.
The shelving and counters in the store are all portable and mounted on rollers. Attached to the rear end of the shelving is a cable which runs forward and ovey a wheel below the floor in the front of the store. To this end of the cable are suspended weights sufficiently heavy to overbalance the shelving, cases and goods in them. A brake device keeps the weights from setting the machine going. Attached to the lever of the brake is a combustible cord which passes upward into the store and is carried along the walls and ceiling, where it will be quickly ignited in case of fire. The sundering of the cord looses the brake, the weights bear on the cable, and the shelves start helter skelter for the front of the building. At the same time the windows and doors open automatically outward, and the entire contents of the store are dumped on the sidewalk in a jiffy. To frustrate the designs of fire thieves the shelves fold up when they reach the street, presenting only blank wood and glass.
Those who have seen the apparatus tested say that it works admirably. One night a mouse found something palatable in the brake cord and gnawed it in two, whereupon, much to its consternation the furniture, boxes and shelves, with one accord, began a swift movement forward, and an automatic alarm attached to the machine began to rouse all the inhabitants of Gowanda, the hour being 2 o'clock in the morning. The ingenious inventor was one of the first on the scene, and his disgust at being routed out by a false alarm was greatly mitigated by the spectacle of the smooth working of his machine. It seems to be a good thing and pushes itself along with no help.—Buffalo Courier.
Careful.
Two Yorkshiremen had been on a trip to Blackpool and were on their way home, when ono noticed that his companion was carrying a bottle half filled with sea water. "Why, what 'aye yer got there, Bill?" he asked. "Well, yer see," was the reply, "my ould woman hasna seen t' sea, so I thought I'd take her a drop. "But," said the first, "while yer were doing it, why didn't yer take a full bottle?" "Not me was the answer. "What should I ha'e done when the tide began a-risin' and broke the bottle ?''—Loudon Tit-Bits.
A Hard Day's Work.
"I almost feel tired," said the'new woman as she laid her beaver aside and gave orders for the proper stabling of her bicycle. "I thought you men never got tired," groaned her husband. "Rarely," replied the new woman, "but today I made the speech that killed the bill for the emancipation of husbands, and raised the roof of the capitol with a piece of my mind, and if that ain't enough to tire a body I'd like to know what is I"—Atlanta Constitution.
When cleaning house, it is oonvenient to have a stick with a deep notch in the end with which to lift picture wires and cords off their hooks. It saves much climbing up and down.
It is not the many oaths that make the truth, but the plain single vQw, that is vowed true.—'Shakespeare.
