The leading commercial and financial
journals of Germany are in state of
nervous alarm caused by the onward
march of American commerce into Cen.
trail and South America. The CONNER
cial bodies of that country have come to
the conclusion that the greatest danger
to European interests lies in the new
departure" or commercial arrangements
which this country has negotiated with
the Latin-American Republics and the
West Indian islands. German newspa-
pers view with great satisfaction the
treaty recently negotiated by Germany
with Colombia, from which they antici-
pate favorable results, expecting to
counteract by it the inroads that the re-
cent efforts on the part Of the United
States have made in their commerce.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer is
again indulging in the pastlme of
blowing Great Northern soap bubbles
in the air, and all because the manage
ment of that great road has taken steps
to secure by condemnation what
Northern Pacific influences have pre-
vented it from obtaining in any
other way-viz. a sufficient amount
of land upon which to lay the tracks
and erect the buildings necessary for
handling its portion of the city's
traffic. The growing of the P.-I. now is
about on par with Artemus Wards
celebration of the birth of
his ''male twins and both boys" by
firing "a nashunal saloot from yonder
woodshed.n The Post undertakes to
fire a big gun from a very small
eminence. There was much more
excuse for Artemus' demonstration
though it is more than probable that
all of the Great Northern's Seattle's
twins are now born.

The Next Problems for Science.

A professor informs us that science
has now Immediately before her three
great problems to tackle. The first Is
to produce electricity directly from coal;
the second is to produce for illuminat-
ing purposes the beautiful soft beaming
light Of the FREELY and the glowworm,
which eliminates without heat: the
third task is air navigation. With these
undertakings inventors must wrestle
VIGOROUSLY before there is any remark
able improvement in mechanical science.
This is all well. But there is one
problem as mighty as any, which he does
not mention. That makes four for the
coming man of science to solve. The
fourth problem is to find way to make
professors Of science and philosophy
write plain, short, decent sentences,
such as people can understand. The
tremendous waste Of gray matter, brain
cells and potential energy" involved in
the attempt to make head and tail Of
scientific and philosophical writing as

DEMOCRATIC "RrNG ROAR

The Independent INDUCES in good
deal of senseless twaddle this week
about "ring candidates" on the Repub-
liean ticket. Possibly it may regard
that style of argument" necessary to
divert attention from the glaring falla-
cies fathered by the free trade party.
But why should it particularly single
out Messrs. Rice, Hixson and Collier as
objects of attack? If the Independent
believes in a non-partisan judiciary
why does it not let the judgeship alone
and leave Judge Winn and Mr.. Rice
to fight their own battle in their own
way?
GAS to Mr.. Hixson," it matters not
how long he has served as county clerk,
except that his reelection to that office
by an immense majority, after having
once been tried, was splendid COM
pliment to his efficiency as an official
and to his sterling qualities as a citizen
That much it is well for the Indepen-
dent to remember. To the question
Has his administration of the county
clerks Office been such as to commend
him to the people, and to warrant them
in electing him to the office of county
treasurer d" there is but one answer
an emphatic and unequivocal yes.
He has not only been personally faith
full in the discharge of his duties, but
his deputies have been and are men
whose courtesy and efficiency has
gained for them the most cordial
esteem of all who have had official re-
lations with them. AS to the question
of d" certain banks " being concerned
in the election " it would hardly be
well for the Independent to force a dis
cussion. If it desires to do so, how
ever, 1t should come out openly and
cease beating about the bush with in
situations.
The attack upon Mr.. Collier is a
shamefully weak tissue of innuendoes
from beginning to end. There is not
the semblance of an argument
in any portion of it. To
have denied him q denomination
even TO favor such a staunch Republi-
can and fine old soldier as Capt. Con-
nor, would have been to set the party's
great seal of disapproval upon the adj
ministraiioD of one Of the most honor
able, courteous, obliging and compe-
tent officials who has ever had charge
of the auditors Office. 1t has long been
an unwritten law of the party to recog-
nize and reward merit and faithful
ness In its service. Mr.. Collier had
most honorably earned denomination
and 1t came to him fairly and not as
result of any "ring" manipulation, as
the Independent insinuates. The
"ring" tune as played by Democratic
organs has become so old and worn
that it has lost entirely the little capac-
ity 1t ever had to interest the public.
Bre'r Strong should tune his harp to
some other and better lay.

not proved to be the case proceedings

BOILER EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Number of Others
Seriously Injured.

Two Men Killed ana NumDer OF OtheFs
Seriously Injured.
PORTSMOUTH, o., Oct. 17.-The Bur
CESS Steel and Iron company, of this
city, was the scene of terrible boiler
explosion Saturday. One Of the big f1ue
boilers of the main battery of four,
which furnishes steam for the bar mill
and one of the plate mills, let go with ter
rife force, scattering death and destruc-
ton about. The explosion took place in
the busiest part Of the mill, where near
ly 300 men work, and that there were
not many more killed and injured is the
great wonder.
The injured are:
Richard Flemming, colored, injuries
probably fatal.
George Bressler, lives at Union Mills,
back broken and badly scalded; will die.
John Brown, 81 West Third street,
scalded on the left side, face and head;
internal injuries.
Charles zehren, 289 West Front street;
head bruised and shoulder broken.
Wesley George, Union Mills, scalded
on back and shoulder broken.
Isaac Farmer, Lucasville, serious in
juries about the head. s.
Edward Mitchell, the engineer, 315
Market street; head and back hurt.
William M. Crichton, right leg badly
scalded and other injuries.
John Kennedy, injuries in the back
and painfully scalded.
Mr.. Levi York, manager of the works,
says that they carry $4,000 with the
Boiler insurance company, of Hartford.
and that the agent had just inspected
them. He says there was plenty oi
water, and but eighty-five pounds oi
steam on when the explosion occurred
The insurance is so fixed that the injured
men win get part of the benefit.

were secured last week, Michael Dono-

keepers and the last restaurateur, and
each was fined $50 and costs for using

AREN'T THEY WHoPPERsi

Two Kentucky Girls Who Live on Fish,
and Who Weigh Almost a Half Ton.
PORTSMOUTH, O., Oct. 18.-On one of
the many junk boats lying in the Ohio
river one mile below this city are two
girls who weigh nearly half a ton. The
girls are daughters of Joseph Davis and
wife. The parents claim Catlettsburg as
their home and as the birthplace of the
girls. They are small in stature, and
were born and raised in the mountains
of West Virginia. The largest girl,
whose name is Margaret, is eleven years
of age, and weighs 40 pounds. Her
face has a vacant look, and altogether
her appearance is repulsive. Her weight
causes her much misery. She is gaining
flesh at the rate of one pound per month.
The smaller girl is five years old, and
weighs 206 pounds. She is rather bright
and catchy. Both girls are monster
eaters. The main food is fish caught
from the river.
