A FTOud Day for Uncle Sam

Uncle Sam himself was present, with
his new fashioned wide cut trousers on,
the day our four shining white naval
cruisers sailed out of New York bay to
&C 10 RostoH, then to Europe. to show
them over there that the United States
has at least four swift. light cruisers that
are the equal of any now atloat. There
will be two or three others like them.
too. as soon as they can get their guns
aboard The Yorktown. the Boston, the
Atlanta and the Chicago constitute the
first American fleet that has visited Eu-
rope in forty-one years. They are armed
with moderately large cannon and six
pound Hotchkiss guns, all thoroughly
modern.
For many years warships have been
painted black, giving them a peculiarly
grim and suIlen appearance. Our new
swift cruisers are painted white. With
their symmetrical model they look like
birds upon the water The Chicago is
the flagship of the squadron, and the one
that carries handsome Rear Admiral
Walker Best of all. in few years we
shall have sixty-six more cruisers aioat,
built on the plan Of these four. The
thought of the four that are already con-
structed, with the sixty-six yet to come,
should make every Americans heart
swell with pride.

Progressive Mexico.

No subject interested Gen. Grant more
in his later years than the development
Of the material resources of Mexico and
her advancement in civilization. He had
great hopes Of her future. some of which
would have been realized if he had lived
till now.
Gen. Diaz is now serving his third
term as president Of Mexico, a fact that
speaks volumes for this country, which
used to be torn with internal dissersions.
In 1879 Mexico had only 372 miles of
railway, against more than 5000 in 1899.
The government revenues in 1870 were
S16.O00,0 GOO, in 1889 they will be nearly
S39. 900, 600, more than doubling in nine
teen years. Mexican exports in 1885
amounted to not quite $47,O00,O00. In
1889 they were 100000 greater. Her
chief exports are from her mines. In
1885 her goods shipped to the United
States were Of the value of $25, 100000.
In three years they increased $7,000,GO0.
Though her mining interests are most
important, yet the republic has hum
dreds Of millions in her cattle ranches,
her forests of rich furniture woods, and
her plantations of coffee, sugar, cocoa
and fruits. Best OF all, President Diaz
can truly announce to his people and the
world that the republic is peace.

The United States OF Brazil.

Of course European powers predict
that the republic of Brazil cannot last.
1t is their policy. But perhaps it will.
Evidently the Brazilian republicans in
tend to pattern after the United States.
They have adopted our stars and stripes.
wrought out in the green and gold which
are the colors of Brazil.
At any rate. whether the republic is
there to stay or not, it was the neatest
revolution on record. The Brazilians are
the most courteous people alive. They
are too polite to kill anybody. Therefore
the revolutionists simply waited on the
gentlemanly old emperor and informed
him that his time was up. They would
give him handsome annuity for life,
they would treat him with the utmost
courtesy. but his time was up.
Dom Pedro was fully as polite. He
answered that he would go as soon as he
could pack his wardrobe. and gave the
committee assurance of his distinguished
consideration. And go he did, leaving
part of his iewelry behind him. He is
now the worlds most prominent case of
royalty out of situation. He will have
some company before the century is out.
Queen Victoria has invited him to visit
her at Windsor If he had been de-
posed president of republic, he would
have stayed out in the cold long time
before she would have done that.
Yet it is pity the revolutionists could
not have allowed the emperor to serve
his lifetime out. He was democratic to
the hearts core. He had been the bitter
and outspoken opponent of slavery. The
country was constitutional empire and
as free as Great Britain. In general, the
government was like that of the United
States There were the two legislative
houses, and the provinces had their own
assemblies, like our state governments.
The emperor had veto power and his
own council of state. Senators to the
general government were elected for life.
This the republic will abolish.
Suffrage was not universal under the
empire. Universal suffrage has been
proclaimed for the republic. Whatever
could be done to promote education and
material advancement among his people,
Dom Pedro did. Brazil has always been
the most prosperous and serene of the
South American countries.

At the close Of the war the state of
West Virginia made q demand on old
Virginia for the surrender of G. 7. O'Fer-
raj. an ex-Confederate colonel. West
Virginia wanted him to answer for de-
struction of property in a cavalry raid
during the war. The property had been
destroyed in the neighborhood where
O'FerraI was born and reared. His old
neighbors formed o plot to take him from
the custody of the officers and hang him
to a tree close by his mothers house in
case the requisition was honored. But
it was not, and O'Ferral escaped hang
ing. Time went on. The ex-Confeder-
ate studied law and went to congress
from old Virginia. He became Repre-
sentative O'Ferral. Not many years ago
his old friends who were going to hang
him invited him to visit them and de-
liver a Fourth of July oration. Mr..
O'Ferral did SO and was warmly well
coined. So times have changed.

Some London Editors.

A writer in The New York Star con-
tributes some interesting personalities
! about the men at the head of the leading
London newspapers.
One is astonished to find that London
editors are much better paid than their
brethren in America, as a rule. Sir Ed
win Arnold, of The London Telegraph,
the gentleman who has just visited us
and been made much of, stands at the
head of British newspaper men. both as
to reputation and salary. He receives
$4,000 a year. There is only one editor
in America who even has the name Of
getting as much as that. We learn also
that the sub-eIitors and leading CORE
spondents of the chief London dailies re-
ceive from $1,000 TO S12 900 a year. Even
the reporters and the rank and file of
London journalists are better paid than
the same class in this country. 1t tmust be
that fewer people can write over there
than in America.
Perhaps the second most famous Lon
don editor is Mr. W. T. Stead, of the
Pail Mall Gazette, the editor who can
always be depended on to give the Brit
ish public sensation. He is the hard
est worked newspaper man i'll London,
though net the best paid. He lives in
the country. drives into the city every
day Il dozen miles, and is at his desk at
s o'clucG in the morning. He stays at
it till p. IN. Mr.. Stead will start a
model newspaper for the world in the
spring. and is coming to America first
to study lis awhile. 1t is likely we can
give him aome points.
Another famouS English editor is
Henry Labouchere, profanely called
"Labby." He owns half of The London
News, all of London Truth, is a men,
Der of parliament and a rich man. He
speaks his mind, likes Americans, and
tweakS the noses OF royalties in speech
and writing
Edmund Yates, founder and owner of
The London World, is also rich editor.
He was one Of the first English newspa-
per men to go in for personal journal
ism. American fashion, and it paid him
handsomely.
The point that strikes the American
newspaper writer is the wealth of these
English journalists. The richest one of
all is Edward Lloyd, proprietor of The
Daily Chronicle and Lloyds Weekly
newspaper, both being publications little
known here. But even in the United
States it is not always the journal with
the widest fame that earns the most
money. Mr.. Lloyd has farm in Africa,
where is grown the grass that makes the
paper on which his journals are printed.

Insurgents in Guatemala Captured and
the Leaders Shot.
PANAMA, Nov. 25.-Particulars of the
revolution in Guatemala are now made
public. 1t appears that an assault was
made ON the Mataes-Ciuntla barracks
and that the arms were seized. The rev.
olutionists then started on an expedition.
Directly the government received news
of the movements troops were sent out
under different commanders, and receiv-
ing prompt support from Santa Rosa,
Juliapa. Jalapa, Zacapa and Chiquimula,
sharply followed up the rebels and cap
tured the leaders, Coils. Hipolito Ruana
and Migueal Montenegro. They were
tried by court martial and were shot.
the remainder of the band then threw
away their arms and scattered. Order
is re-established.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. pa prisoner
who was sent to the Ohio penitentiary
from Cincinnati some time ago, and re-
Gently violated his parole and is fugi-
tive from justice, is thought by Deputy
Warden Cherrington to be old man Ben

said to be striking. There is no reason
why he should have fed, as his crime
was only larceny and his sentence light.

Powderly, president of the knights of
Labor, set an example which may be
commended to insurance and railroad
presidents who receive $4,000 and
100000 year for their services. Pow
derly gets the modest salary of $1,000.
The knights are not so large Il body as
they used to be. and, at the recent gen
eral convention, Powderly asked to have
his pay reduced one-half. 1t is greatly
to the credit of the knights that they re-
fused to make the cut. A society with
such president and such members will
live, no fear of that Now let some $780,
600 railroad president ask his stockhold-
ers to cut his salary down half, and see
if they will refuse.

Charleston, S. c., is at length to go
into the ship building industry. A COM
pany has been incorporated for business
and the money is raised. Small coast
wise vessels will be first built; then, it
the enterprise is successful, larger ones.
1t is to be hoped the new industry will
be entirely successful, as it will give en-
ployment to number more people in this
crowded world. In our generation the
benefactor of he race is he who gives it =
new industry. At Charleston the south
.ern live oak and pine, the cheapest and
best materials for shipbuilding in the
Union, can be manufactured into the
woodwork of vessels almost on their ma
tive ground. Ships ought to be built
more cheaply at Charleston than they
are farther north. Labor in the south is
much cheaper.

THE rennblic Of the united States MAJ

The republic of the United States made
the first attempt of any nation in modern
times to govern itself by a written consti-
tuition, and the state of Virginia adopted
the first constitution under the republic.
All the thirteen states had constitutions
of their own before they ratified that of
the United States.

There are intelligent people, in their
right minds, apparently, who still believe
in the Keely motor. Some of them declare
they have seen it work, and that it really
does what Keely claims, but how they
cannot tell. A gentleman, who agrees
with Professor Hyland Kirk that the
human body is a storage battery for
electricity, suggests that possibly the
force may be electricity and may come
from Keely himself, he being presum-
ably powerful battery, unknown even
to himself, with electricity enough in
him to run threshing machine.
