The able Republican editors are
just now writing columns of learned

Score Another Point
In the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern Districto of New York, Judge Ship
man handed down an opinion q few days
ago in the suit of the owners OF the trade
marks covering Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
against Arnold Thelier and Cornell Theller,
the compounders located on Vesey street,
New York City, in which it was decided
that, although the defendants made use OF
their own names on the labels affixed to the
bottles containing bitters prepared by them,
yet as they Were evidently designed to imi-
tate the Hostetter labels, they were In
fringers, and perpetual injunction was
granted and an accounting of damages or
dered. together with the costs of the suit
1t is the evident intention Of the Hostetter
people to protect their valuable trade mark
against all infringers.

PROBABLE PRICE OF WHEAT.

The Chicago Economist bases its ex-
pectations of good prices for wheat on
several circumstances, prominent among
which are the very much smaller visible
supply compared with that of last year,
the absorption of the new crop by millers
showing a marked lack of old stock
and the European shortage. 1t expects
the chief advance TO be in No. 2, the
market showing a scarcity Of that grade
and the rains during the summer increas-
ing tho quantity of lower grades.
The Economist believes that the folly
of the bears in keeping prices down by
questionable devices until the bulk of
the crop is cut of the farmers hands has
proceeded about as far as it can this
year. because the farmers are not rush
ing their wheat into the elevators. 1t
has not been the pressure of wheat, but
the pressure of the bears that has made
the price SO low as it has been for
month past.
All this has been encouraging to the
farmers who are still holding their wheat.
We sincerely hope that the conclusions
are sound. Ten to twenty cents per
bushel advance on wheat would mean
many hundreds of thousand Of dollars

OUR TRAFFIC WITH BRAZIL.

Here is ''reciprocity' that means some
thing, and that would be Of the greatest
benefit to this country. The Rio de
Janeiro News does not hesitate to urge
on the Brazilian government the modifi-
cation of It's customs duties on American
goods. 1t said in recent issue that
while the United States has voluntarily
abolished all duties on coffee, rubber,
hides and many medicinal plants-all
products of Brazil-and is even consid-
ering the question of reducing or abol-
ishing duties on sugar-also a Brazilian
product-Brazil has rigidly maintained
its duties on American goods, in some
cases at an unjustly high figure. Kero-
sene still pays from 40 to 100 per cent
on its cost; lumber pays nearly 80 per
cent, and lard so per cent, while cotton
goods, furniture, hardware, cutlery,
clocks, butter, ham, ETC., pay over so
per cent.
The consequence of this is that while
we are taking almost half the exports
from Brazil she is taking less than one
seventh of her imports from us. The
change recommended by the Rio de
Janeiro News would be welcome one

In Philadelphia, when streets are to be
paved. notice is given that all house con-
nections with mains or any other cause
of tearing up the street, must be attend
ed to before the paving, SO as no tearing
up afterward will be allowed for long
period. Several applicants to connect
houses with the mains have just been re-
fused. There are some other cities
where the pavements are being torn up
every little while, resulting in a very
poor paved street. as it is rare that any
pavement is restored to its perfection.
This fact has been looked after in the
action of the council in relation to the
paving question in this city, but the
matter is of such Importance that no
harm can come of keeping it before the
people, especially those directly interest
ed in the matter, pending the beginning
of the work of laying the pavement.

The information impaired to the Meth
odist ministry in Chicago Monday by
Bishop Fowler in regard to the state of
feeling in China towards the United
States, growing out of the action of this
government in excluding Chinese from
our shores, affords food for serious re-
Election. The Chinese are perhaps as
polite as any people on earth, and it
may be the expressions of DIR. Fowler
heard in that country touching the mat
ter were given out for effect, with the
hope that a modification of the policy of
this government toward the subjects of
that might be had. What may take
place hereafter can not be OWNED at
this time, but there will be no change of
the present policy just now nor in the
near future,

A PROSPECTIVE BOOM FOR RILEY

The recent order of the war depart
ment directing the abandonment of sew
eral of the small outlying military posts
and the concentration of troops stationed
at them, at the larger and more accessi-
bic posts, has greatly encouraged the cit
izens of junction City and vicinity in the
hope of further and liberal appropria-
tons by congress to complete the i'm
provements planned several years ago
for making Fort Riley the great central
station and training school of the nation.
Such a consummation would, indeed,
give that section a substantial boom, and
one of the effects of which will not only
be lasting, but will be felt far beyond
the immediate locality and surroundings.
In commenting upon the prospect the
junction City Union says:
1.-The expenditure of another million
and half of the government funds, and
the location of 1900 more people within
four miles of junction City is showing
which no other city in the state can
make Fort Riley will then, after So
600, 900 have been expended. be a city of
about 5000 inhabitants, with monthly
pay roll of not less than $3.50. 600 every
month, or $1,000 200 for every twelve
months. This three millions will come

THE QUESTION OF IMMIGRATION.

"Where does our large influx Of i'm
migrants come from" asks the Hartford
Post. Formerly, and for many success
sive years Ireland furnished more than
half Of them. Then for few years
Germany took the foremost place, send
ing nearly half million to our shores
within two years. Now Russia, Hun
gary and Italy, countries from which
few immigrants formerly came, furnish
great numbers; Russia from 10000 to
10000 yearly; Austro-Hungary from co.
900 to 45, 600, and Italy over $4,000. The
power OF assimilation which this coun-
try has to a remarkable degree will be
severely tested before these people,
speaking different tongues, reared under
different governments, and the greater
portion of them very illiterate, will be-
come good citizens.
The question of immigration to this
country is becoming more serious every
day. Because of their failure to become
identified with US and assume the duties
and responsibilities of citizenship, the
government thinks it necessary to place
an embargo upon immigration from the
Chinese empire. But there are classes
of people coming to our shores without
let or hindrance almost every day who
are more harmful in their influence
upon the communities where they find
lodgment than they. Nineteen out of
twenty of the strikes, riots and local dis
turbances among the laboring classes of
the country are caused by the vicious
nature of the foreign elements in such
localities

ing survey proper as to works OF con-
struction and their costs.
Major Powell's estimate OF the total
cost of this great work is S,OOO,0 goo. The
more rapidly it is completed and the in
formation is in the peoples hands the
more quickly will the attention of the
enterprise be turned to the task OF aiding
the creation of homes for 100000, 900
people.
l have left myself no room for a des-
cription of the great international dam
and reservoir work proposed at this
point, but as it distinctly relates itself to
the conditions of the Rio Grande and the
interests alike of Texas, Kansas, Color
ado and New Mexico, reserve my des-
cription to my next paper.
