They did not answer at first. Then
she spoke to them one by one.

"What do you say, Mary?"
"When we are thirteen"
"What do you say, Jane?"
When we are ten."
What do you saw, Susan?"

At last she came to little Lille,
the youngest scholar in the class.
"Well, Lille" she said, land how

INDUSTRIAL COMPETITION

A work recently published in England
by K. Dudley Baxter, with the significant
title of National Debts, has brought out
some very interesting facts relative to the
industrial and trading nations of the fu-
ture. This author, in the outset of this
book, makes this remark, that 'just as in
100 greater nations came upon the scene
to contend for commercial supremacy
with the Italian cities and Holland, SO
toward 1900 greater nations are coming
upon the scene to contend for commercial
supremacy with England"
There are various evidences of the truth
OF the foregoing from the fact that the
English people are using every effort in
their power to cripple and destroy other
nations in their commercial interests, so
that they may keep entire control of the
trade of the world. 1t is evident to England
that the great competitors which she has
to fear are Germany and the United States
In connection with this subject, and as
having an important bearing upon it. is
that Of the national debt of these contend
ing powers. In this great strife for the
supremacy in the worlds market, that ma
ton which has the greatest recuperating
power in surrounding the debt with
which it may be burdened, will, without
doubt, obtain the mastery Under such
a state of things well may England fear the
worst In the contest. Mr.. Baxter admits |
IN his work that in regard to the ex-
pansive power of the three great trading
nations, England, the United States and
Germany, the advantages are much in ia
vor of the two last named, and he adds that
year by year England will feel the burden
of her large national debt more and more

gentleman of broad and comprehensive
views, and of energetic action. With such
men as O'Connor as Governors of the
trans Mississippi States we may look for
the Inauguration of policy of self-de-
Tense and common action among those
States which will lead to valuable results
The interests of these States have grown
to such magnitude as will inevitably lead
to some concert of action among them
speedily. O'Connor's wide reputation as
a lawyer and speaker, his splendid abili-
ties and his long acquaintance with public
affairs, taken in connection with his COM
prehension and courage, render him just
the mani for the times at that end of the
line.

A HINT TO SUMMER TOURISTS

While large numbers of the American
people are spending the summer vacation
IN Europe, quite another considerable
crowd is taking new route for the graft
tication of its curiosity. The Pacific
coast offers inducements to the excursion
list which must ultimately attract thou
sands OF travellers in that direction. To
be accommodated with family car on
the Pacific railroad, to live almost at
home in this rushing domicile while speed-
ing away thousands of miles, past noun
tain, lake and desert, is such a chance
from the beaten course of pleasure travel
that it must ultimately become popular
with the crowd of tourists who spend
their summer months floating about in
search of something to see. California
offers wonderful temptations to the
traveller She combines the attractions
OF Paris, the WEAKNESS of Palestine
and the scenery of the Rhine. Her |
history is wonderful, her climate is
charming, her people are composite. She |
offers mountains to the gloomy, plains to
the monotonous, and valleys to the en-
thusiastic. Her repertoire of curiosities
is novel, for the traveller comes upon
trees that have no equals, springs that are
only to be seen in California, vegetation
without comparison, works that startle
the apprehension. Landscapes as lovely
as any that ever feasted the eye of the
artist repose between widely separated
mountain ranges, and sharp contrasts of
barren desolation present themselves as
they DO IN Judea. All that is grand in
nature can be found in California, and
I'll that is bountiful and beautiful. A trip [
rom Shasta to Los Angeles will en-
'race every character of scenery, from s
he most rugged mountains to the love- !
lest and sweetest of clover covered val l

the Yosemite, the Geysers, the mammoth
trees of Calaveras, the beautiful bay of
San Francisco, surrounded by purple
glory, the fruitful fields of Sonoma, the
wide valleys that separate the mountain
ranges, the wonderful rolling lands of
Los Angeles, the mighty desert of sand in
the midst of so much productiveness, the
alkaline deposits, the long strips of en-
erald that come down from the noun
tains between the gray plains on either

The Spanish American States have sent
large delegations to California. The
islanders of the Pacific rass in and out

the United States all classes have gathered
In the great central emporium of the
far West. In fact, San Francisco is the
real centre of two worlds, presenting in
her population and trade the varied in
terests of East and West.
A trip to California can be made for
less than it costs to go to Europe, and
though the tourist may not see so much
that is old and venerable in art, he will
certainly see all that is new and agrees

is what We want, why should our travel
ers speed away to spend their time and
money among the ancients of foreign

Journal, J1tne 2.
Although far distant southwark from
Iowa, the Republicans of Louisiana have
much more direct interest in common
with Iowa than they have with manv
States nearer in distance but on the op-
posite side of the Mississippi. The col
umns of States lining the west bank of
the Mississippi, commencing with Min
nesota and ending with Louisiana, have
more large and growing interests in COM

which demands national support and is as
important in every possible relation and
interest to the country at large as either
of the great Pacific roads, will be a grand
continental road from st. Paul to New
Orleans. The improvement of the nayiga-
ton of the Mississippi, the fostering
OF direct commerce with Europe
and Asia by New Orleans, and
a variety of other enterprises for the
developing of the country west of the

interests in common which Louisiana
shows with Iowa. The politics of both
States will sooner or later be governed by
hese great material interests.

prospect of her choosing Major O'Con-

1t will be dangerous question to ask a
Pottawattomie Indian hereafter, how he
disposed of his elephant? Robinson's
circus is travelling through Kansas, and
the big elephant, Emperor, is with the
concern. He is very gentle and affection
ate, and allows himself to be handled
with great freedom even by strangers. At
the village of Pottawattomie, in the mid
die of the night, a body of Indians thought
it would be good thing to have an ele-
plant, so they attempted to steal En-
peror. They unclaimed his foot, mounted
on his back, and attempted to make off
with him. He did not steal well, so the
thieves attempted to accelerate his speed
by pricking his sides with knives and ar
rows. Emperor gave a war cry and
started down the principal street with
heavy trot. He capsized the first house that
impeded his path, and finding the job an
easy one, he sailed into the balance of the
town, unroofing huts as fast as he could
reach them with his snout. The entire
settlement was threatened with destruc-
ton, and the noise and confusion became
very great. At last Robinson heard of |
the trouble and made his appearance on
the ground. Emperor desisted from his
ravages and submitted to his master at
once. In fact he was gratifed to find
himself once more in the hands of the
pale faces, for the Indians had abused him
terribly with knives and arrows. The
noble red men who attempted to steal the
elephant made their escape, but they
learned lesson that will last them life
time. The balance of the tribe do not
:hink an animal of that size adapted to
savage uses.

Prejudice is the same in Europe as in
America. When Alsace was bargained
off to Germany by the treaty of Paris,
the pc. ulation threatened to emigrate
almost en- masSe to the United States, in
order to escape rule that was unpopular.
AS time and better information have con-
tradicted the erroneous opinions of tho
Alsatians, they have changed their minds,
accepted the situation, and remained at
home. When the war of the rebellion
ended, thousands of Americans fed to
Brazil, Honduras, Belize, Mexico, Cuba
and Venezuela, to escape the government
which was even then pursuing them with
good offices by distributing provisions
among the poor who had lately been en-
gagged III warning against its life. A lit
tie time and experience worked the same
change in these fugitive Americans that
it did in the Alsatians. The men who
fled from the United States to escape bad
government have come back cured of the
belief that they would better themselves
In any other country And what is more
there is less disposition in the
Americans to run off to strange countries
now than there ever was before. While |

We learn that the piano and organ en-
tered by Mr.. Philip Werlein at the Texas
State Fair, held last month, has resulted in
a most gratifying triumph, as the instru-
ments he entered have obtained the blue
ribbon over all competitors. Excellent as
Werlein's pianos and organs are, he sells
them at prices which render competition
extremely difficult, and this arises from the
fact that the expenses of Mr.. Werlein are
very low, and his customers get the benefit
of it, for he sells fine pianos at $780, and
fine organs as low as 500 Call on Werlein

AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION.

Some years ago, when it became evil
dent that slavery for the colored race of
this country was to give place to freedom,
conservatives, that is pro-slavery men,
consoled themselves with prophecies that
under the malign influence of freedom
the negroes would infallibly Idle out.
How could it be otherwise? They would
be deprived of the fostering care of the
white race, whose superior intelligence,
sharpened by self-interest, had been a
providence to the slave, watching over
his physical welfare seeing to it that he
fulfilled the Eden given commandment;
and tending his progeny with an
anxious vigilance unequaled except
by that which springs from white
maternal solicitude (colored mothers
were represented as being Indifferent to
the welfare of their children), furnishing
medical attendance with admirable alac-
rlty IN cases of serious illness, and distrib
uting the contents of the plantation med
lcine chests with unstinting liberality in
lighter cases; in short, keeping the animal
whose services helped to enrich them in
good working condition, without being
put to the trouble of thinking for himself.
How was the creature to get along when
thrown upon its own resources? 1t must
necessarily perish from inability to take
care of itself But here come the figures.
by which it appears that so far
from decreasing in numbers, the |
colored race in this country during
the last ten years has increased at the rate |
OF nearly ten per cent, and this notwith-
standing the fact that there have been no
masters to see to their interests, and that
they have therefore been left to the
improvidence, immortality, disorder,
confusion, idleness, neglect of the sick,
and inefficient care of children" which
their former masters attribute to them as
characteristics of the race.
Our ultra conservative but optimistic
neighbor, the Picayene, notes these facts,
and with commendable philosophy re-
Iolees in them, in spite of their falsifca-
ton OF its former prophecies. Noting
them, however, it does not seem to un-
derstand them; does not seem to appre-
