Hannibal and sherman.

A writer draws q comparison be-
tween Hannibal, the famos Cartha-
ginian general, and the late William
Tecumseh Sherman. The two men
had the same sort Of temperament,
and, if we may trust the ancient de-
scriptions, they resembled one an
other in physical stature not less than
in the thoroughness Of their military
education. Hannibal was the first
man to depart from the battle tactics
which were the method Of fighting
adopted by Alexander. He had
methods of his own, and his success,
until the Romans had learned from
him how to use his own weapons, was
due to the same qualities which dis
tinguished the military services of
Gen. Sherman. He gained his first
and last victories by the use of STRAIT
egy. He did the unexpected thing.
All his career was the doing of things
that nobody else did, and throughout
the late civil war Gen. Sherman was
the man who constantly improved
upon military rules by methods of his
own. The passage Of the Alps by
Hannibal was not more wonderful in
his day than the operations which
Sherman planned and executed in his
march to Chattanooga, and his gigan-
tic conception Of an invasion Of Italy
has it's parallel in Gen. Sherman's
plan Of the march to the sea and the
support of his army by levying con-
tributions upon the people through
whose homes he was passing. The
American general did not stay for
sixteen years in the country Of his
enemies, as Hannibal did, and COM
pei subjugated provinces to support
him, but he could have done it as
easily as the Carthaginian did if the
same occasion had existed. There
was in our Sherman the same insight
into the conditions Of war, the same
comprehension OF the vital point at
issue, the same swift reading Of men,
the same power of control, and the
same ability to keep his own counsel.

New Evidences on Tin Plate.

The Sau Francisco Chronicle has re-
Gently printed an interview with James
Van Allen, formerly professor of assay
time editor of the Scientific American,
on the subject of the tin mines in
Southern California, which is remark
ably interesting, for the special reason
that Mr.. Van Allen was opposed to the
Republican doctrine of protect
ing the tin industry on the assump-
ton that tin plate could not be
successfully manufactured in this
country. But now he is enthusiastic
over the California mines. He was not
only skeptical of the existence of tin in
quantities that could be mined at a
profit, but he did not believe any tin
ore at all mad been found. Having gone
to California on other business, and be-
ing in the vicinity of the mines, of
which he heard more particular reports
in California, he went to see them, and
the following sentences from his talk to
a reporter will show his conversion aft
er seeing them:
81 shall 90 back East proclaiming the
Temescal tin mines the richest of the
kind | have ever known, and L have
spent month in the Cornwall mines.
l was astonished to find how
rich some Temescal tin ore is. 1t runs
16 per cent. in some places. / never
saw any Cornish ore run higher than IL
per cent. ] used to smile at the tin
plate clause in the Mckinley bill, but l
have been converted. That clause is all
right. We can mine all our own tin and
make all our own tin plate"
When such evidence as this comes
from once hostile sources the outlook
for Democratic opposition to American
tin plate Is not cheering.

What England Could Do.

In two weeks after declaration OF
war England could place fifty gunboats
on the lakes and more than thirty
armored vessels in the harbors of our
leading cities, and could concentrate
70, 600 regular troops in Canada, backed
by sturdy militia, ready to march
across our border, while in twice that
time part of her Asiatic squadron could
sail through the Golden Gate. Our lake
frontier is cobweb. No land defenses
of such towns as Chicago, situated on
the shore itself, could save them from
bombardment.
The best army could not protect Chi
cago against a mediocre modern fleet.
The shipping and commerce of the lakes
is attractive. The goods afloat and ashore
would suffice to pay huge war indcm-
nifty. They are all at the mercy of an
English flotilla. Some people imagine
that war has been humanized out OF
such measures as bombardment. But
Paris was bombarded in 1870; so was
Strasburg, and its beautiful cathedral
spire was seriously injured. War has
no aesthetic maxims. The occupation of
seaport leaves n 20 alternative but sub
mission and the payment of a heavy
ransom-or bombardment. In a town
like Chicago this would be followed by
fire, and we all remember the $40, zoo, 900
lost in the fire of 1871 Forum

1t would be terrible blow to this
aristocratic circle if some outside ladies
should take a notion to get these Paris
dresses copied in this country-made
out of American silk and the cutting
and sewing done by American hands.
Well, if the Mckinley bill strikes a
hard blow at those who place greater
value on things foreign than on things
produced in this country, American
patriotism will say good enough A

persons to wear dresses made of Ameri-
can silk because they look just az we'll

SENATOR REAoAN'S "SCRAP."
He Threw n Local Terror Through Mill

He Threw Local Terror Through a MIL
Window In Tenn essee.
The resignation OF Senator Reagan,
OF Texas, recalls n story OF how he
CHANGED TO remove to the State that
is now his home, and which has so
signally honorcd him. He was living
in Sewer County, Tennessee, in 1889,
and was sent by his father to grist
mill to have sack OF wheat convert
ed into flour. He was big, raw
boned, strapping country boy.
According to custom, he hitched
his horse at the mill, took the sack OF
grain from the shoulders of the AMI
NAL, placed it on his own shoulders
and tOted it up three flights Of stairs,
and took his place in the line, as peO-
pie are won't to do still at country
postoffices, waiting for his turn to
have his wheat ground. Half an
hour or so after Reagan arrived ut
the mill well-known local character
came, bringing q sack Of wheat to be
ground also. This last character was
local terror, fond Of brawls and
fighting, and in the habit of having
his own way.
He had to take his place in line
with the rest, but when it got to be
Reagan's turn to have his grain
ground "the terror" said;
"See here, Reagan, l am in hurry.
You let me get in your place and you
come back here where | am"
Reagan demurred, stating that he
was in hurry, too; that he was en-
titled to his place, and meant to
keep it. This angered the brawler.
He cursed young Reagan, and said
he would fling him out through the
window, and, suiting the action to
the word, made rush for the future
statesman. Reagan, like all the rest
Of the people in the neighborhood,
was more or less terroriZed by the
desperado, and, in fear Of his life,
rushed for him, met the desperate
half way, butted him in the stomach
off his feet and threw him through
the window.
When the desperate disappeared
through the window the consequence
Of his act flashed upon young Reagan's
mind. He instantly supposed that
he had killed man, that he would
be hanged for it, and, scared almost
to death, he rushed down stairs, UNI
hitched his horses, and lit out across
the country for Texas. The man was
not killed, but got bad shaking up.
He soon moved to Texas, and was a
friend Of Reagan in after life.

The London Times on American Eiec-
tiOns.

The Irish World quotes this para
graph from the London Times of No
vember 5: "Ohio, indeed, which at the
election tor Congress last year appar
emily revolted against the protectionist
policy and threw out Mr.. Mckinley,
the author or sponsor of the new tariff,
has returned to its first love. 4
We regret Mr.. McKinley's return,
which, as President Harrison's con-
gratulatory message shows, will give re-
newed confidence to the protection
lists"
The Irish World then follows up this
quotation with these vigorous COM
ments:
The acknowledgment of the London
Times confirms the statement so often
made by protectiOniStS about EnglandS
interest in our elections. Every Demo-
cratic victory is hailed by her as IL blow
struck for British trade. She thoroughly
understands and appreciates the character
Of the work Democrats and Mucwumps
are doing for her. She also understands
the services rendered her by Irish-A meri-
cans who cooperate with the Democracy
in its war on the protective system. There
are some states, such as Massachusetts,
would be mere she'll if it
were not for the Irish-Americans it counts
among its members. i he London Times,
which is aware of this fact, gloats over the
Mugwump accession TO the Democracy, be-
cause it evidently believes that the intlu-
ence of the MugwumpS will tell in favor of
England. 1.-THE increase in the strength
of the Democrats" 1t says, lis derived
from very different sources and some
times, rs in Massachusetts, where the
Democratic governor has been reelected,
though by rather narrow majority, from
antagonistic elements. There is now a
very large Irish vote, still mainly Demo
cratic. IN Massachusetts, but the party has
also been reinforced by considerable
number of Republican rcformerS', the So
called Mugwumps, wh0'are at the very OPP
posite pole of politics from the lrsh.'
1t will be noted that the London Times
thoroughly understands that there is a
natural antipathy existing between Irish
Americans and these AnglO-maniacs who
Joined the Democratic party only when it
declared itself in favor of free trade. Yet
in the state mentioned by the London
Times the Mugwumps may be said to be
on the top, so far as the Democratic party
is concerned. lrish-American Democrats
in Massachusetts, may do the voting. but
the Mugwumps and their friends are to
have the hOnOrS and shape the policy OF
the party. The manner in which Gen.
COrcoIan, Democratic candidate for
acknowledgements, has been slaught-
cred at the polls is fair sample of the
treatment Irish-American Democrats who
are nominated for office may expect in the
future. 1t remains to be seen how long
Instantaneous in Massachusetts and
other states will continue TO act with the
Mugwumps and vote for free trade. They
certainly could employ their ballots to a
better purpose than casting them for pol
icy every victory for which is hailed by the
London Times and the rest of the English
press az a distinctive gain for John Bull.

Russian Typos Alarmed.

The type-setters of Russia, and es-
pecially Of st. Petersburg, are alarmed
for their trade, because they have
heard that in this country certain
type-setting machines are superseding
the type stickers and putting them
out of work. The st. Petersburg
compositors, fearing that these ma
chimes may be introduced there, have
sent to New York for information
about them, asking if their use is
profitable to their employers, and if 1t
is detrimental to the interests Of the
old-fashioned compositors.
A reply has been sent from here to
the st. Petersburg inquircrs, telling
them of the various kinds Of type
setting machines that have been in
vented, of the extent to which they
are used in the newspaper, book, or
job offices in this country, and Of their
influence upon the interests Of type
settlers. A reporter who has seen this
reply says that its effect will be to re-
lieve the minds OF the Russian typos.

An elephant ranch is the latest nov

Newbury, the protector, is enthusiastic
about his plans. He proposes to Guilt
vate the elephant for its meat and its
capacity for hard and diversified work.
He says that "as an article of food the
elephent is superior to the horse" and
most people will be willing to accept
his statement, though not appreciating
its force. He says that behind tough
exterior ii hides tender steak and
that African explorers are profuse in
their praise of elephant n;,S outlets; A
5000 of this as good to eat.

inc CONDITION al agriculture.
There was more campaign lying done
last year regarding the Mckinley bill
and IFS effects on agriculture than was
ever known about one feature of any
previous campaign for years. The free
traders-and that included the entire
press and oratorical force of the Demo
cratic party-were constant in their
statements that the Mckinley tariff bill
would prove staggering blow to farm
ers, that foreign markets would be
closed against their products, that the
sad consequence thereof would be low
prices for all they had to sell and high
prices for all they were forced to buy.
Well, farmers, how is it?
1t does not need wordy arguments to
prove to the farmers that this cry of the
free traders was the voice of dema-
gogues. What are the facts? Every
body knows that prices are better this
year than last; and likewise everybody
who spends a dollar for household
necessities knows that sugar is cheaper
than ever before, that cottons of all
kinds are the lowest known in the his
tory of the trade, and that many other
articles Of prime necessity for the house
have not been increased by the enact
ment of the new tariff law.
But what we want TO get at is tho au-
dacious assertions of the demagogues,
that the markets Of the world would he
closed against American farm products
under the provisions of the Mckinley
bill. Not only did all the Thanksgiving
proclamations of the Democratic gov
ernors urge upon all people to give
thanks unto the Almighty for so much
of prosperity and happiness during the
present year-and this is clincher on
the Democratic calamity hawkers-but
the secretary Of agriculture in his an
nual report, gives some facts of special
interest, touching the exports of Amer
lean farm products. These figures carry
weight, because they are official and
likewise correct.
During the first three months of the
present fiscal year-July, August and
September-the exports of cereals
alone have aggregated about $77 .O00, 900,
made up as follows:

The Canning Industry.

In the wake of the free trade asser-
tons of last year, when statements
were depended upon to carry the cleo
ton against facts, that our canning in
dustry would be greatly injured by the
new tariff, comes the acknowledged
fact that the amount of canned and pre-
served fruits put up this season has
been phenomenal. The bountiful fruit
crop was supplemented by cheap Nc
Kinley sugar, cheaper tin cans than
last yea-, and liberal drawback pro-
vision for export.
1t is remarkable that the particular
items of the Mckinley tariff which
were singled out for attack by the free
traders are exactly the ones which fur
nish results most opposed to their enc
mics predictions. Thus doth the Nc
Kinley tariff vindicate Embellishments
