The New German Chancellor,

Caprivi made his reputation az general OF
ability long before the crisis happened which
called him to the head of the State depart
ment. Last year | saw him for the first time
since the Franco-German war, commanding
an army corps at the grand maneuvers near
Hanover. says writer Of Harper's Weekly.
His manner is characteristic of a, great man as
well as good soldier simple direct, courte-
GUS and, where possible conciatory. His
face is curiously like that Of the great chancel-
lor whom he succeeds. but has in it far more
of the humane and engaging less bull
doggy, though not less plucky. To IN
clude the prime minister in list OF the
cOuntry's generals would appear odd IN Eng
land or with us. but in Germany the situation
has nothing eccentric in it. Bismarck, to be
sure never held an active command. but all
through his life as a civilian official be mani
tested far greater desire to appear IN the
livery of war than 10 rest his fame on his
achievements in the cabinet. Caprlyi may or
may not prove greater as general than as a
minister of state. but in the event Of the next
war no surprise need be felt If we read hls
name gazetted as commander of modified
army marching toward st. Petersburg.

FOREIGN SUMMER TRAVEL.

The usual exodus from the American shores
of persons who design to make tour OF
Europe during the present summer has al
ready begun, and the number of those who
will spend these months abroad promises to
be enormous. Not only has the expense of
travelling diminished in consequence Of the
growing competition between lines of trans
portation to secure the patronage of the pub
lie. but it has also become the fashion among
Americans to pass their vacation in European
sight seeing. The two influences, fashion and
the increased cheapness of European trip,
will this year swell the passenger lists on the
outgoing steamers to degree that will be I'M
exampled.
This exodus has its sentimental as well as
its practical aspect. Foreign travel is rapidly
developing the people of the United States
into one Of the most cosmopolitan peoples in
the world Formerly the Englishman was
the only globe trotter, but now the American
is performing feats as a traveller that reduces
his English rival to insignifcance. He at
taches no more importance to a run through
the European countries than TO journey to
Chicago or New Orleans, and visits the water
ing places of England, Germany. France and
Italy with as much carelessness of mind as
he does Newport, Bar Harbor Saratoga or
the White Sulphur
The practical side of the exodus is of some
what more serious importance. 1t estimated
that at least $50, 900 Americans will cross the
ocean this year, and this will mean the ex-
penditure abroad of an amount Of money that
will fall little short of s15O,OO0,OOO. sum
which causes the stream of gold which has
for so many weeks been flowing from this
country to Europe to appear to be mere
bagatelle The Americans are now the most
valuable customers of European hotels, shops.
and railroads. and in this character they an
nually withdraw from the United States
vast fund which were it invested here would
do much to promote and advance our ma
tional prosperity.

EVASION OF TAXATION.

An instance has recently been made public
in Baltimore which throws a great deal Of
light ON the flexibility of mems consciences
when they are called upon to report to the
assessor the amount of personal property in
their possession subject TO taxation.
Several weeks ago there died in the Monu-
mental City man who had always been looked
upon in that community as the owner of n
very large fortune q man who had always en-
loved the confidence of his fellow-citizens,
one in fact who had on exceptionally high
standing not only for business sagacity but
also for character.
The apprsisement of his estate under the
direction of the Court disclosed personal
property to the amount of half amillion of
dollars, but upon examination it was found
that his personal estate during his life was
assessed at thirty-six thousand dollars only
and upon this sum alone he had for
number of years been taxed, leav-
ing $464, 900 exempt because it had re-
manned unassessed.
Proceedings have been instituted in the
Tax Appeal Court to recover the amount due
the city on the portion of the personal estate
which had escaped assessment for series of
years. and as there seems little doubt as to
the recovery of this amount, the action ot the
court will have a beneficial effect upon those
who have systematically evaded the obliga-
ton of making fair return of their property
for taxation.
Instances of this character show to what
extent the income of every large city is cut
down by the easy consciences of many persons
who have large or small fortunes in the form
of personal property which it is difficult for
the assessor to detect.
The man who can devise some means of in
surfing a strictly accurate return of all the
personal property in a community would be
regarded by the public at large as a very valu-
able citizen, whatever opinion might be en-
tsrtained of him by individuals who strive to
escape taxation altogether by every means
that ingenuity can suggest or INSCRIPTIONS

The Key to Business Success.
ATLANTA Constitution


Since the days when the advertising OF
Bonner and Barnum first set the people. wild
with curiosity to read the Ledger and see
the big show. shrewd business men have APP
preciated the value Of printers ink.
When man has good article TO sell, and
knows that large number of people want
it, he cannot invest money better than In adj
vertsing in papers that reach the people
whose custom he wants.
About two years ago a lady in New York
made a new cosmetic of real merit. She had
no funds Of her own. but she borrowed $500
and spent it in judcious advertising. Her
business grew rapidly. and she is now making
$500 a week above all expenses
What this lady has done in a small way bus
mess men are doing on larger scale every
where by following the same methods.
As n rule it is safe TO say that advertising is
the key to success. People do not hunt W
an unknown man in an unknown place to
buy an unknown thing. If a man has an
article of genuine worth that IS generally
needed he may 60 ahead with absolute con-
fidence and advertise it. All that he has to
do is to make the advertisement attractive and
place it where people within the radius OF
trade will see it. Under these conditions II
advertising fails To insure success the times
must be exceptionally hard and the depres-
sion must be too great to overcome by ordl-
nary methods.

were issued, embracing 1914, 800 acres. an
area equal to that of Great Britain and Ire
land together. larger than Italy, and three
times the size of Portugal. Over 100 banks
are said 10 be established within year
Prior TO October Is. 1880, but 10 per cent Of
the nominal capital of those banks was re-

that day have thought of the proposal of Mr..
Goschen-the Chancellor Of the Exchequer in
the Salisbury Cabinet, very able and
very conservative man--to make education
free in England on the principle which hasfor
so many years been in operation in this coun-
try?
This free education is on the same general
line as the caucus rules which Mr.. Chamber
lain introduced for the advantage of his party
in the selection of candidates for the local
offices in Birmingham. These rules were
adopted for the consolidation of the majority
and also for the purpose of using that minority
in the American manner.
Mr.. Goschens proposal 10 make education
free is a direct appeal to the good will of the
masses as distinguished from the classes. to
employ Mr.. Gladstone's expression. To these
masses. a Conservative or Tory administration
has now TO cater with as much assduity and
artfulness as Liberal or Wing administration.
and in the eagerness to secure their support
by promoting their interests or fiattering their
vanity, the Conservative party is as ready to
go to as extreme lengths in the enactment of
laws as the Liberal party itself. The English
masses now govern, and therefore the Eng
lish masses have to be propitiated by Sails

Distribution of Population.

In a recent census bulletin upon the dlstrl-
button of population in accordance with topo-
graphical features Superintendent Porter re-
marks that the climate of the country along
the Southern Mississippi and the Gulf rs hos
tile 10 the white race, and by far the greater
proportion of the inhabitants are of the col
ored race" In reply to these statements the
New Orleans Times Democrat shows that the
river country was settled and built up by
white mem; that in Louisiana and Mississippi
this country has a larger white than colored
population. and that the death rate there IS
lower among the whites than the blacks.
Turning to the eleven sea marsh" par
ishes of Louisiana, the Times-Democrat
shows that the white population ex-
ceeds the black by $4,000 that it has
increased 40 per cent. since 1880, while the
blacks have increased only 81 per cent. and
that the death rate is but little over half as
high among the whites as the negroes. Mis-
sissippi gives a similar result; the coast coun-
ties have 22.676 whites to 1886 negroes, and
the whites have increased three times as fast
as the negroes since 1880. In Alabama the
record is the same. and so is that of the Gulf
Coast couhties of Florida and Texas. Alto
gether. it Is seen that both of Mr.. Porter's
statements are directly contrary 20 the facts.
and it is an interesting question why he should
have published them in an official paper when
the evidence of their untruthfulness was
within arms reach in the records of his Office.

Export Trade In Flour.


United States consuls In England and Scot
land have informed the State Department that
our export trade in -four is in serious danger.
owing TO the methods adopted by transporta-
ton companies for its shipment Consul
Brown, at Glasgow. has made the subject a
special study, and when it is known that the
American export of -four TO Glasgow alone in
1890 was $50 900, 600 pounds it is plain that
the subject is one of vital Importance TO the
United States. Consul Brown reports that
the bills of lading are so worded that the re-
ceiving railroad company in this country has
the privilege of forwarding the -four on any
steamer it chooses, and in some instances
has shipped the flour to some other port than
that of final destination, there to be trans
shipped. As the railroad companies
are not bound by the bill of lading to deliver
the -four at any specified time it is often the
case that the shipment is from one hundred
20 two hundred days in transit and even
longer than this. The effect of this posi-
bility of long delay on the English buyer. who
must calculate on being out of the use of his
money from three to six months or more and
who at the same time must figure on the fluc-
tuations in price for this long period, can be
readily seen. IL Is very evident that Amerl-
can shippers of -four must at once take steps
for thorough revision of the present bill Of
lading and demand Of the transportation
companies quicker delivery or the trade will
suffer severely
