George P. Turner of Virginia, Is brave
man. Mr.. Turner is the newly appointed con-
sui to Mozambique. The salary is $1,000
year. The climate is so unhealthy that few
foreigners survive two years. residence
there. The vacancy at Mozambique has beer
one OF the stock jokes about the state de-
partment for years. Troublesome applicants
for Office were gravely rendered the consul
ship there, but when told OF its general un.
healthiness their ambition TO serve theiI
country abroad suddenly disappeared, and So
for period Of more than ten years the Unit.
ed States have been unrepresented except
from time to time by foreigner resldinI
there. Mr.. Turner says that +. d. Ropes, q
Boston, whose firm has large trade with the
west coast of Africa recently told him that u
one Of their clerks survived a years residence
in Mozambique he was permitted to return
home and another employe would be sent IL
his stead. The majority Of foreigners seldom
live longer than three or six months. Not
withstanding these drawbacks Mr.. Turner de

A LATE report of the auditor of state
showed what appeared to be a deficit in
the accounts of the Office of the Attor-
ney General during the incumbency of
the Hon. Smith Mcpherson, of Red Oak.
The deficit shown is about 81, 400 prin-
cipal and interest. The report created
a momentary sensation only, for Nc
Pherson met the charge so promptly
and manfully as do disarm suspicion,
and give good grounds for the belief
that mistake has been made which
will be cleared up by investigation,
The gentleman was away from home
when the report was made public, but
arriving in Red Oak, he was informed
of its purport, and went Immediately to
Des Moines, and appearing before Gov.
Larrabee asked for an early investiga,
ton of the accounts of the attorney
generals office during the term of his
incumbency. He stated to the Cover.
nor that the statute of limitations
should not apply in this case, and that
If it was shown that he was indebted to
the state he would meet the obligation
promptly. Mr.. Mcpherson is one OF
the best of republicans in the State OF
Iowa, one who has given time, means
and able service to the party, and one
above suspicion Of committing dishon'
orable acts. IL it shall be shown that
a mistake has been made 1t viii be cor.
rected in all haste and honor.

A Philadelphia umbrella manufac.
turer says there are about $500, 900
umbrellas and parasols sold in this
country every year. America has gone
ahead of foreign nations in m MANUFACTURE
ing them, and not more than 10 per
cent. are imported. The Sheffie Id
umbrella. however, still leads the
world. Domestic makers have to
hgure very closely, and were they to
raise prices 10 per cent. the county
would be deluged with foreign material.
It is a remarkable circumstance, says
The Philadelphia Press. that only ono
person has ever made any money on
any patent on an umbrella. That Que

LABOR DAY was very generally OBJ
served throughout the large cities by
that large class who constitute what is
known as skilled labor. 1t was a grand
demonstration, representing one of the
most fruitful resources of our great
country. There can be no poverty
where such vast numbers of intelligent
men are successfully engaged, and there
can be no anarchy, no rent in the bands
which unite the interests of capital and
labor so long as the powerful arm of
industry is directed by an honest heart
and dignified mind.
