NATIONAL SPIRIT NEEDED.


Continuing he remarked: "What is needed in
America is the development of a moro do
termined national spirit. During and for some
years after the war We were too thoroughly en-
gagged in n domestic condition to pay much
attention to the building up of an inferno
tional prestige. The result was terrific. Why.
can recall scores OF incidents where American
citizens sought protection from English and
French consuls during internal troubles in the
republics. Our own legations were unsafe
the day is passing, however, when the Amer
lean prestige is tho least OF all. The last two
Presidents Cleveland and Harrison-have been
good Americans in the sense OF fostering our
strength abroad, and more attention has been
paid during their administrations to such mat
tiers than ever before. Now is the golden op-
portunity. There is no use of our holding of
because Chile is small She don't realize it,
and she is willing to draw straws with us. She
thinks that she Is as big as We are. and on such
q ground we cannot afford to hold OF any
longer"

Chile is spoken Of by those who have travelled
in South America as a veritable spittire. A
well-known Washingtonian, who has extensive
interests in the southern continent Hkcned hor

He said: when 1 was in Nicaragua / had a
little tiger kitten that we were trying to tame.
Condensed lightning would have paled before
ever on her temper. She was perfectly wild
and had nature horrible as anything you
can imagine. Fight! Why, she would begin
to spit and claw AZ you twenty feet away, and
large. Now, Chile is perfect reproduction of
that tiger kitten. She has the same temper
and has no sense OF her size. She thinks that
she can whip US and she wants TO try. She is
the most cantankerous of the nations south of
US and causes more trouble than all the rest
put together. She ought to be thoroughly
spanked, and it would do US, as the spankor, as
much good as the spankee."

CHICAGO. Oct. ia sharp surprise
was sprung in provisions to-day, resulting
in a lively break in prices. With every
thing looking bullish. the Cudahy-W Wright
combination started in to realize on some
of their profits. and theirnumerous brokers
began letting pork and lard 60 freely. The
shorts were quickly supplied. and the gen.
eral trade took great quantities without
much decline. Still tho selling continued.
Tbs market weakened under tho pressure
until pork broke nearly soc. lard .10c and
ribs Ohio on January contracts. b
manipuIators bought sparingly afterward
and there was q partial recovery.
Wheat. compared with the closing prices
yesterday, is lac lower and corn is IN
changed. Oats were weak and lower from
lac to ssc.
There was not much life In the wheat
market. About the only thing that in
dueed buying was the fact that the price
was considerably below the average at this
season of the year. But this was met by
the claim that the situation was hardly
ever go bearish. The stocks are uDpre-
cedented and the current receipts are on a
scale that has never been eQualed. while
prices abroad show AN indifference dIscour-
aging to American exporters. The opening
price was at about Sc decline, then fol-
lowed q drop of &C more and the close was
at isc from the bottom.
Corn, unlike wheat, when influenced by
the rain. which it was thought might cut
Oft receipts, opened strong and higher. The
decided strength at the close yesterday
brought In many buying orders to be filled
at the opening, and there was little offered.
There was considerable iirmness for n time,
but the advance brought ont free offerings,
and after fiuctuatiDg within u range of ID
0ssc,. the close was quiet and steady at last
nights figures.
In oats the receivers were the best sellers,
and shorts the principal buyers. Trade was
materially reduced in volume.
The provision market opened strong and
active, due to the strength In. the hog mar
ket as reported from tho yards. This ap-
peared TO have been with the Cudahys,
and 1t is estimated that their sales were
over 10000 barrels of cork, 10000 tierces of
lard and o liberal quantity OF ribs. The
prices were pumped up O little toward the
close. but in the end pork left OFT from sc
to l2l3c lower than yesterday. Lard is .05c
higher for October, .15o lower for Novem-
Der and .071ec lower for January. Ribs
show q loss of .05c.

About Itaspberries.

fnllaielphia inquirer.
Give the raspberries that you plant this
fall a piece of moist. rich land. If YOU mean
10 grow n wholly satisfactory and profit
able crop. The only back to such
ground Is that the canes. If left TO
themselves, will make too rank n
growth ut the expense of their f~ruiting
qualities. This tendency, however. can
be curbed by pinchipg off the tips during
the growing season. and so forcing tho
formation of many side branches. A cool.
moist soil Is OF the greatest importance. as
tho raspberry Is very impatient OF drought
at all times. and If It suffers IN this re-
spect ut the ~fruIting season will give
little else but a crop of seeds. For this
reason it is advisable to plant at such
distances as will permit of thorough loosen
ing and cultivation of tho soil, and to pro-
vide o mulch for them IN soon as c~ultiva-
ton ceases. We think these points are
quite as important in the cult
nre of tie raspberry as with the
strawberry. but are more generally
neglected. Perhaps that is the reason why
many who try 10th find 80 mnch less profit
in the one than the other. We have found
il pretty certain that If any of the email
fruits are given exactly the sort o. care
they need they will pay abundantly.
