TOUCHING the remark of THE DISPATCH
that ''the United States will put no embargo
on her magnificent surplus of food prod
ucts." the temporarily tariff mad Buffalo
Courier asserts: "But the United States did
put more or less OF an embargo on the ex-
portation OF food products when obstacles
were thrust in the way of the importation
of foreign goods to pay for them"
If it is an embargo which permits us to
export the biggest total of our products ever
known in the history of the nation, then the
dictionaries must revise their definitions of
the word. If the esteemed C5tuier is right,
let us have more embargo next year and in
crease our exports by about $500, 100000.

THE death from hydrophobia of one per-
son who was inoculated by Pasteur's treat
ment does not by any means disprove the
value of that discovery. On the other hand,
the fact that when the process has been in
use for years, and thousands of people have
been inoculated, one death is enough to
make sensation, gives pretty strong tes-
timonial to the protective value of the plan.

THE perversity of that great

THE perversity of that great but often
misguided stream, the Mississippi, is mani
tested in its latest attack on the city of New
Orleans. A stream which makes up its
mind to sweep away any portion of New
Orleans ought not to miss the opportunity
of doing the Hercules act with the Louisiana
lottery as the Augean stable. But with un-
pardon able lack of discrimination the river
fails to come anywhere near the lottery.

In Philadelphia an order has been issued
that traction conductors must not wear

if the company will furnish them. Or per-

when the overcoat gets shabby the conduc-
tors must shiver without any.

Better Employment for Worknen.

There is far better employment for work
ing people than there was 30 years ago.; that
is to say there is far more work to be done
by the same number of men, and the wages

chief element in producing this condition.

BELMONT'S SUPERSTITION.
Like the Soothsayers, He Placed Relian,
N the Elight of Birds.

Like the Soothsayers. He Placed Reliance
in the Flight of Birds.
The late August Belmont once told
Gotham writer, on the Monmouth race
track, that his horses would not win be-
cause a flock of blackbirds had crossed
his path that morning. Il saw the
blacllbird in the field he related,
land said to myself: If they fly across
| shall lose So | walked my team
carefully-carefully But no. Just as
! came opposite, the birds flew in front
again. / shall not go to the stables. 1
have sent for my trainer to tell him it
is of no use trying to win to-day" At
another time he was in radiant spirits
because little bird had flown
into his bathroom and allowed itself to
be fed. 4 shall have good luck" he
exclaimed. ''Wait and you shall see. :"
That day he won three principal races.
Indeed. Il curious phase of his supersti-
tons was that they generally turned
out to be correct. When he felt that
he was going to lose he did lose: when
he imagined he would win he did win.
This may be explained by coincidence
or by the fact that his trainer and jock
evs were shrewd enough to huInor his
whims, knowing that he would rather
Justify his superstitions than capture a
race But whatever the explanation
the fact that such man should be sub
iect to such caprices is wonderful
