1t has been discovered that whatever
laws congress may pass against the in
coming of Cinnamon they easily evade
them by going to Mexico and coming
into the United States over the Rio
Grande river, which can be easily forded,
as during some months in the year it is
nearly dry. 1t would take the whole
United States army to keep Cinnamon
from getting over the river. John will

The expenditures for pensions have
taken a downward tendency. A year
ago Pension Commissioner Raum stated
that the expenditures on hat account
reached their maximum, and that
thenceforward there would be a steady
decrease in the outlay. This prediction
proves to have been correct, and Com
missioner Lochren says that he will have
to ask for s30,OOO,OOO less than the
amount appropriated last year. This re-
duction has been brought about by the
deaths of pensioners and in the natural
order Of things will continue from year
tn wear.

Earnings of Miss Braddon's Pen.

The assertion recently made that Miss
Braddon had realized $500, 900 from her
novels has been verified by London
Truth. The continuous sale of Miss
Braddon's books is unprecedented in the
records Of British publishers, and it is
believed has brought in a good deal
more than the amount stated.

The Greatest Nation That Ever Was.
It is not England or even the United
States Or any nation that now is. This
greatest nation exists as yet only in the
brain of some enthusiasts. But, like the
dream Of enthusiasts always, it is catch
ing. 1t becomes the dream of more and
more people as time goes on, until there
are those who begin to believe that many
are now living who will see its actual
realization.
1t is plain that the language of the fu-
ture is to be English. The people who
speak it are all conquering in every part
of the globe. Take them a~ltogether--in
Great Britain itself, in North America,
in Asia, in Africa, in Australia and the
Pacific islands-they constitute a third
of the inhabitants of the civilized world.
They are increasing faster in all these
continents than the people of any other
blood. Divided as they are by seas, by
government and by apparently diverse
interests, they are still the same at heart.
energetic, aggressive, strong and steady
and in the main honest. Say what you
will, on the average they are superior to
any other race.
The dream of the enthusiasts is that
these English speaking nations, bound
together by every tie that constitutes
real kinship, shall form one great fed
GRAFTON. Whatever their form of gov
eminent, they should unite not politi-
cally, but in a pledge Of unity of sen
timent and harmonious action and hold
all the rest of the world in the ways Of
peace and civilization. English speaking
peoples today hold the worlds balance of
power if they will use it. A war between
Great Britain and the United States
would really be as monstrous as a fight
between parent and child. Whatever
else may come, the true interests of the
English speaking peoples of the globe lie
along this path.

International Dependence.

Those who believe that a war in Eu-
rope would be beneficial to the United
States az q nation, or that any one coun.
try can prosper on the misfortune or
disasters Of another, should take an OBJ
ject lesson from the present financial
situation in the English speaking world.
For years before the hard times began
business had been chiefly done on the
basis of debt and credit. Great Britain
is the creditor nation Of the earth. She
lent millions to Australia, millions to
the South American republics and mil
lions to the United States. All the states
Of Central America are her debtors. So
is the Argentine Republic; so is Brazil;
so are others.
There was a revolution in Brazil, and
good old Dom Pedro was dethroned aud
a so called republic set up-more is the
pity for Brazil and the commercial
world. The revolution convulsed Bra
lillian securities of all kinds. As these
were held in England, the disturbance
was felt there. The house of Earrings
was the main bank that dealt in Brazil
ian paper, and it staggered and was
about to fall. The sums at stake were
80 enormous that money had to be hur-
ried to the Earrings. Their fall meant
financial disaster all around. New York
banks sent gold to their relief. England,
that had lent money to Australia in such
heavy sums, also hurried to the help of
the Earrings. The holders of Australian
bonds sold them to get ready money.
Australia could not stand it and became
for the time almost bankrupt. More
ready money still was needed. The Eng
fish began to sell their American railway
bonds, and these came home to the
United States to be paid for. There
were $3.50, 900, 900 worth of them. We
had to pay for them, and pay for them
in gold. That was why the gold went
out of the country. The railways could
not stand having so many millions of
their promises to pay thrust upon them
all at once, and many of them went into
the hands of receivers. Values of all
and bonds went down like card
houses.
So far as appears, then, the Brazilian
and the South American
troubles were the immediate cause that
precipitated the present hard times in
English speaking countries. 1t will be
unbelievable, therefore, that there are
in the United States at this day men who
try to make the trade in guns and pow
der and shot lively by fomenting revolu-
tions in the Central and South American
Yet there is reason to believe
the United States and other countries
hold just such monsters.

There is no medicine so often needed in
every home and so admirably adapted to
the purposes for which it is intended, as

insureS cure in about one-third of the

fore the parts become swollen, which can
only be done when Pain Balm is kept at
hand. A sore throat may be cured before
it becomes serious. A troublesome corn
may be removed by applying it twice
day for week or two. A lame back may
