Engineering and Mining Journal, Nov.
30: The movement toward higher values
has not only continued, but has gathered
new force during the week just past, and
the tone Of the whole copper market 10
decidedly strong. It may be that the
amount OF business transacted for q few
days past has been less than previously,
but this has been caused by the reluctance
OF sellers to offer rather than from any
scarcity Of buyers, and the prices OF all
descriptions are higher again. In Lake
copper there 10 hardly anything ~obtainable
for immediate delivery, and for December
o ID cents per pound. The quotations
for casting kinds have been somewhat ir-
regular, as WEI to be expected, and some
OF the inferior brands may still possibly be
obtained at IL cents, but all the best
brands are now held for 12H cents.
At the prices o ruling in the domestic
market no further exports are possible to
Europe, rs prices here are above the level
OF European values, and the quantities
now being exported are consequently on
account OF previous contracts at lower
prices.
The London market has also become
much stronger, and q marked improve
ment in values has again to be reported.

WASHINGTON. MARCH 1s, 1889.
UNITING ANGLo-sAxoNs.

The Samoan incident promises TO
work good in many ways, the arrogance
Of Germany's representatives in the Pa
cific islands bringing more closely to-
gether the nations of the great Anglo
Saxon race. The stand taken by the
United States in the matter has been
weak enough, certainly, but 1t has con-
trastcd so favorably with the attitude of
the English Government that II has
seemed strong, and an expression of
vigorous sympathy with this country
comes not only from the English press,
but from that of Australia. Here is
strong language from the Auckland
Herald.
The American nation Is compelling Ger
many to recede from the position which she
had so insolently taken In virtue OF unholy
wight. The abdicaton of the King Malietoa
was an outrage on justice and humanity, but
the violent action of the German forces to-
ward Mataafa, the nstigation to bloodshed,
the encouragement Of pitiless mutual slaugh
ter Of these unhappy islanders, to say nothing
of their insolent demeanor toward the British
and American citizens, melted, as we now
know these things were, by the disgraceful
completely Of the English Government In
Germany's high-hsnded doings, have pro-
dueed an indignant sense that has dealt a
sharp blow to our feelings of loyalty and af-
feotion to the British Government.
on the other hand the open, spirited con.
duet of the United States has stood ont in
startling contrast, and we venture to assert
that the action OF that power In compelling
Germany to let go her grip on Samoa has ex-
cited feeling of enthusiastic admiration for
the great Republic warmer and more pro-
nouneed than ever existed among US before.
The incident seemed to many like an abroga-
tion by England of her leadership of the An
glo-Saxon civilization In these seas, and hand
ing over the right to kindred nation, equally
our kith and kin of the United States. w.
There is no uncertain ring to the
quoted expressions. To the south
west OF us in the Pacific another great
Anglo-Saxon nation is growing up and
the feeling of brotherhood between the
people of that nation, the United States,
Canada and Great Britain must be in
tensified by every such incident as the
recent attempt Of stronger power to
sieze upon the Samoan islands. This
feeling has grown wonderfully of late
years. The fact is recognized that the
Anglo oSaxons, brothers in blood, must
stand together; that, united, they can
defy the world, and that it is for the
worlds good that they shall be the
dominant race We may wrangle oc-
casionally among ourselves, as Anglo
Saxons will, but it is becoming under.
stood that We must not go to war; it Is
realized that such thing would be sui
cidal, and il is appreciated that formal
Anglo'Saxon union must eventually
come.
The Samoan incident has been good
thing. 1t has enabled the feeling of
national pulses. 1t has shown how the
blood dances.

The Private secretary's Brother.

was told yesterday that A.. j. Halford
intends to leave Washington, where he is
filling an editorial place on one Of the daily
papers, and accept responsible post on
morning newspaper of this city, Mr..
Halford is the younger brother of President
Harrisops private secretary, and the pair
have been inseparable for many years. In
the old days Elijah was managing editor OF
the Indianapolis journal, while his brother
had charge Of the city department. They
have worked in the same town and generally
in the same Office for over twenty years,
and it is scarcely probable that they will
be separated now. So the story of James
Halford coming to New York is probably
not well founded. Mr.. Halford is tall and
spare, with piercing black eyes, a short
mustache, made still shorter by its owners
habit of biting 1t, and he wears thick,
black crop of hair which he uses chiefly as
pen-wiper. He is a rapid workman,
quick thinker, nervous talker and one of
the best-known all-round newspaper men

Abbey is largely responsible. The
criticisms of Miss Anderson have been

these expressions have affected her

1T WAS ANNOUNCED yesterday that the
ladies of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union would hold an "all-day prayer
service, to ask Divine guidance in the ap-
pointment of officials TO administer the
City Government"
The idea of the ladies is an excellent
one. II is to be hoped that their prayers
will be long and earnest, and, furthermore,
that they will be answered.
In this connection II may be suggested
that the ladies should not conflne their at
tention to the City Government alone. 1t
is as easy to pray for whole nation as fer
a city. There are vast number Of outside
places and outside ofiice-seekers needing
immediate attention.

THE PAY OF CoNaRpssMEN.

When what the newspapers of the

blunderingly. 1t was made retroactive
and members of the Congress adopting
the measure were beneiciaries The
result was what might have been ex.
pected under the circumstances.
A man fit to be q Congressman can
ordinarily make more than the present

and inefficient labor is no more profitable

Only good men should be sent TO Con.
gress and they should be paid what
they are worth, or at least paid enough
for their comfortable subsistence.
1t is complained of late that only rich
men have much chance Of getting into
the United States Senate. The charge
isnot without foundation. Men should
never enter the Senate only because Of
their riches-as more than one man
has done-but poor men In the Senate
