ga money making industry in the
future for the United States will be
the hog industry. The leading coun-
tries of Europe now admit our pork
on the simple certificate of this gov
eminent that it has been inspected
and found healthy. That means a
market for American pork such as
has not yet fairly begun to open. A.
merican farmers may turn their atten-
tion to hog raising with the certainty
of demand for their product. Mean
time the utmost skill and intelligence
should be exercised to make this
meat the best of it's kind in the world.
We have all the conditions for put
ting American pork beyond competi-
ton"
The above clipping is poser to
me. l don't understand how the A.
merican Infant can pay pricely wages
to labor to raise hogs and ship pork tc
Europe and compete with foreign
pauper labor. Please enlighten o

A French Canadian Exodus.

N. 7. Press:
SO many French Canadians have re-
Gently left the province of Quebec for
the United States that public atten-
ton is being called to the exodus by
the press of Montreal and Quebec.
The reason assigned for this condition
of affairs is that the Canadians are
experiencing difficulties in finding
market for their products, and dis
cussion is going on to devise means
for checking the movement. The en-
igrants are reported to be Industrious
and frugal, and as many as sixty-five
families are said to have left one small
parish near Montreal within two
weeks to find homes in this country.
If they come here to attain citizenship
and settle down for life the change
thus noted is new evidence that the
Canadians have discovered that the
United States under protective tariff
is outstripping Canada under her Pc
culiar relations to England and that
they desire to share in that prosperity.

A Spiritual Boycott.

The following story comes from
Indianapolis:
The local believers in spirtualism
are much wrought up over singular
situation in which Mrs. Henry Swift
of No. l,072 Lorraine street finds
herself. Previous to her marriage a
few months ago she was credited with
rare mediumistic powers and made
considerable money by her particular
talent. She is woman of much
beauty and refinement, and in the
course of her maturing ,girlhood had
numerous suitors before she gave her
hand to the man of her choice. Some
of these admirers had already died
and had become devoted to her as
controls, as the mediums call their
spirit mentors.
Since her marriage singular con-
dition of affairs has come about.
The earthly admirers have accepted
the situation. Most of them attend
ed the wedding, and endured if they
did not approve her choice. With
the lovers on the beautiful shore the
young wife's friends say it is differ
ent. They are angry, and appear to
have placed a spiritual boycott upon
her. She has not received a single
communication from any one of these
departed lovers since her marriage,
and worse than that, they have form
ed a guard around her, and allow no
other spirits to communicate with her.
AS the marriage was one of pure
love, wholly WITHOUT mercenary con-
sideration, on the young lady's part
at least, and the limited salary of the
husband was to have been aided by
the professional earnings of the wife,
the spirit boycott is serious matter
to these worthy young people. 1t
has already operated to make them
cut short their wedding trip, and in
stead of going to housekeeping for
themselves, as they intended, they
have been compelled to board with
Swift's mother.

British politics appear to be quite as
uncertain as the American brand.
1t is evident that the men who write
newspaper recipes for controlling women
have never tried them.
1t is probable that the Pinkertons
now fully realize the truth ofthe adage,
"Give dog a bad name" etc.
A New York boarding house keep

The newspaper liar found congenial

In selecting his new private secretary
Mr.. Cleveland had his eye on the Irish
vote. He is one of the O's.
Congress should put prohibitory
tariff on the Russian cholera before ad-
journing.
Some of the members of the recent
Christian Endeavor Convention are
willing to make affidavit that DR.. Park
hurst's exposures of the .wickedness Of
New York city were entirely too mild.
Mr. Cleveland is dead right about
one thing. When he said: "Let us
keep the names of our wives sacred to
our homes, and out of political clubs"
he was answered by an amen from the
hearts of millions.
Governor Pattison's real opinion of
the Sheriff of Allegheny county would
have to be very much revised before it
would be printable in family news
paper.
Bismarck may not be as powerful as
he once was, but he may still be power
full enough to pull down the empire he

Philadelphia isn't slow in all direc

The colored brother is taking advan-
tage of Presidential year to protest
against things. For instance, he pro-
tests against Congress appropriating
any money for the Worlds Fair until
the interests of the negro are provided
for; but he fails to specify the differ
ence between the interests of the white
man and those of the negro.
An exchange says the "gold cure" is
doing great harm to the saloons; but it
fails to say whether the harm is done
by killing the desire for drink or by
killing the drinkers.
1t having been reported that the re-
mains of Noah's Ark had been dis
covered Chicago man at once began
the organization Of a syndicate for the
purpose Of exhibiting it at the Worlds
Fair.
If one of the great metropolitan
newspapers was right when it said
"tinkering in Congress paralyses spec

Congress to keep on "tinkering."
Democratic Congressman represent
ing free silver districts have had a hard
time between their desire to please their
constituents and their wish to stand

capped the dilema by absenting them
selves. That may have been cowardly,
but it was also politics.

Independent:
The paramount question in this

whether the American standard or the

Andrew Carnegie, who is now in

of the city of Aberdeen. Carnegie
gave Aberdeen $50, 900 for public

added this amount to the pay roll of
his employees at Homestead he could
now enjoy the freedom Of that city
without any expense to the state Of
Pennsylvania and also have escaped
the unenviable and worldwide motor
iety he has obtained"

A GLoBULAR PLEASANTLY.

There is newspaper pleasantly
about the protective value of life in
surance policy which enjoys popularity
as great as the mother-in-law joke, and
which, in spite of Its advanced years,
appears with perennial iteration to
gladden. the rlsibillties of myrads of
readers. Sometimes it takes one form,
and sometimes another. Now man is
shaken up in railroad accident, and,
escaping without scratch, curses the
luck which has prevented his making
something out of the insurance COM
panieS. And, again, a woman rallyiug
from serious illness says: Il do not
see any use in keeping up my pre-
miums. I'll never get any good from
them. My constitution is too stout"
The profundity of this coneeit has been
surpassed in the history of Witticisms,
but the public likes 1t, and the press
strives to crafty the public.
A few weeks ago, when the Grand
Army of the Republic was assembling
in Washington. the GLOBE commented
with wonder on the vast number Of vet
Grams there were surviving III vigorous
health after the lapse of thirty years
from the time of the civil war. and it
suggested by way of explanation that
pension was as effective life preserver
as an insurance policy. This. Of course,
is not the real explanation; ana it is.
perhaps, hardly necessary to add that it
was not intended as such. The real eX-
PLANTATION is to be found in the fact that
the Union army was composed for the
most part of the young men of the coun:
try, and quarter of a century has not
been long enough to bring them past
middle age. But as passing fancy The
idea was not without merit, and it served
the useful purpose of calling attention
editorially to an important item of
news, the details of which appeared i'll
another column of the same paper.
