David Mitchell in ponahoes Magazine.
Experience has conclusvely shown that
thousands of workingmen and others who

tions to secure homes.
The bank patron usually deposits what rs-
mains after the full payment of his family's
expenses; and these expenses, varying from
month to month. often leave nothing: or per-
haps leaving a small balance, the depositor
considers it too trllng to be added to his
savings.
Under such system constant and sys-
tematic saving is impossible. II may be
safely assumed that among the law-breaking
and rlotous classes few If any building and
loan members can be found: for each. owing
to his obligations. is personally interested
In the preservation of peace and the unin-

port trade of German prison made

I am inclined to believe that the United
States receives also more prison manu-
factured goods than are detected"
The consul suggests n thorough investi-
CATION by our consular officers.
1t Is stated that the attention of the
officials of the State and Treasury de-
partments having been called to this
matter they are considering what shall
be done to insure the exclusion of
prison-made foreign goods, and it is to
be hoped they will not relinquish the
consideration until an adequate plan
of exclusion is devised. 1t Is quite
enough that the products of free Amer
lean labor must compete in the home
market with the products of lower
priced European labor, and to have to
submit to the competition, however
small relatively, Of prison labor is
something altogether intolerable. 1t
may be somewhat difficult matter to
detect what are convict-made goods in
cases where foreign exporters send out
such goods as of regular manufacture,
and 1t has been suggested that the in
voice declaration shall contain n state
ment to the effect that the goods Gov
cred by the invoice are not of prison
origin. But whatever the difficulties
a way must be found to overcome them
and keep out of the American market
prison-made foreign goods.

THE BISHOP and THE NEW WOMAN

Chicago Herald: The return Of the heated
season brings with it, among other Affections,
fresh reminder that Bishop Doane OF AL
bany is still on earth, but still dissatisfied
with the scheme OF the universe, with the
constitution of the United States, and with
a very large majority of the citizens of this
nation.
New York Sun: Women are now about
the same as they have always been. They
still continue to be the mothers Of the race.
and in spite of mugwump reports to the
contrary, the early impressions of goodness
derived from them are yet prevalent. The
new woman" of whom this venerable &C.
cesiastic speaks, is mere creature OF his
imagination.
Buffalo Express: The Express may not
wholly agree with the venerable bishop CT
Albany. but 1t offends our sense OF justice
and OF decency to see him made the object
of Incorporate attacks by gllb-tongued and
angry women. And after all, Bishop Doane
has but taken the same ground regarding
the extension Of the suffrage in New York
state that was recently taken by the Con-
stitutonal convention and ratified by a great
majority OF the voters Of the state.
Washington Star: 1t Is customary on
such occasions (commencements) to say all
manner OF pleasant things about the dear
girls and their prospects, but Bishop Doane
had evidently come to the conclusion that
his opportunity to address such an aggrega-
neglected. Therefore he informed his aston
ished audience that he was "sick and tired
of the way in which the talk of wOman's
vocation fills the air, not merely In the wild
vagaries OF It's blatant assumptions, but in
the parade and push of its claims for recog-
milton of what are called its rights"
Chicago Tribune This extravagant out
burst OF the so-called leaders of the woman's
suffrage movement cannot do that move
ment any good. II will more than ever con.
firm the great majority OF women in their
antagonism to 1t. They will rightly argue
IL these leaders cannot govern their own
dispositions and tempers and meet hostile
criticism on its own grounds and with its
own weapons they cannot be trusted to lead
the movement for freedom OF suffrage and TO
introduce their sisters to the demorallzing
influences OF politics. The accuracy and
vigor OF Bishop Doans's shot are attested
by the extraordinary excitement and hys-
terical huttering II has caused.

Compensation for actual injuries sus-
tained by reason Of the libclous publ

NEW OUTLET FOR AMERICAN COTTON.
The cotton producers Of America are
to have q new market for their product
and one that promises to be Of increas-
ing Importance in Japan. The develop
ment of the textile industry in that
country, which begun some ten years
ago, is making vigorous progress, and
according to the Japanese consul at
New York the mill operators in Japan
intend to put forth every effort to sup
ply the demand for cotton cloth of the
vast population of the Chinese empire
as we'll as that of the CoreanS. This
means an enormous expansion Of the
textile industry in that country. Hith-
erto spinners and weavers in Japan
have depended largely upon the East
Indian and Chinese cotton crop, but of
late there have been some large ship
mcnts direct to Japan from San Fran
cisco, and others are to follow. The
only obstacle to the more general use of
American cotton in Japan is the high
rate of freight which Is imposed, but 1t
is expected that this will be overcome
in time. The Japanese consul said that
when communication with Japan and
the great cotton ports of the Atlantic
coast is afforded by the Nicaragua canal
and rates are consequently lower, he
anticipated the free purchase of Amer
lean cotton which is preferred to that
produced elsewhere. The condition in
dicated as essential to an extensive
movement of American cotton to Japan
Is somewhat remote, but there Is every
reason to expect that in the meanwhile
the demand for our product from that
country will steadily increase. At pres
ent about forty cotton cloth mills are
In operation at Osaka, the leading COM
mercial center in the Japanese empire.
While this growing market for raw
cotton holds out n cheering promise to
the American cotton growers, the ques-
tion is naturally suggested as TO what
will be the effect upon our own textile
industry Of the increasing competition
of the Japanese. The British textile
manufacturers seem to have become
somewhat anxious, If not alarmed, re-
garding the progress OF the industry in
Japan, which is said to have already
materially reduced the demand for

The Bees reports of the Ish- -Chapple
murder were, of course, far superior to
those of any other paper. So important
were the scoops scored by this paper in
developing the case that the World
Herald was compelled to copy many
facts first exclusively published by The
Bee. This Is not an exceptional case.
These beats were legitimate and pro-
cured by reporters who usually get
what they go after. Smarting under
the injury incident to failure to report
the news Of this sensational case, the
World-Herald filed complaint with
the police commission against n police
officer, charging partially to Bee re-
porters, and now the commission is
asked to discipline the officer solely be-
cause of the stupidity of the World
Herald reporters This Is a specimen
of boys play which we hope the COM
mission will turn down. 1t cannot
afford to occupy its time with matters
so trivial and foreign to the public
service. There are officers on the force
who do not hesitate to say that they
will not give The Bee an item of news.
Does the commission want to hear such
complaints from The Bee and does 1t
propose to say in the case now before

furnish snap and wits to World Herald
reporters?

TIE ATLANTA EXPOSITION,

The exposition which is to open at
Atlanta in September and close De-
cember 81 promises to be a much more
extensive affair than has been generally
expected, and If energy and enterprise
are properly rewarded It will be great
success. A good stroke of business was
made by the projectors in recently en-
tertainng a number of newspaper cor
respondents, who have laid before the
country full information as to the char
acter and extent Of the exposition. AL
though primarily intended to show the
material development OF the cotton
states, which during the last ten or
twelve years has been extraordinary,
the enterprise is international in its
scope and foreign countries, more par
ticularly American countries, will con-
tribute to it's attractions. 1t is said
that the people of Atlanta are not aim
ing merely to excel previous e&positions
in the south, including the one at New
Orleans ten years ago; they are ambi-
tious to be classed with the Centennial
exposition of 1876, and one of the Off
cials expressed the opinion that the
Atlanta exposition will excel that held
at Philadelphia. He said: "We have
play at less cost than at any previous
time. We have the pick of Il great
many exhibits that were made at Chi
cago. In many cases those are still
intact and the firms who arranged the
exhibits are very willing to make dis
plays here. Then we have learned
much by the experience at philadel-
phia and Chicago, and as a result we
WILL in my opinion, make better gen
eral display than the one at Philadel-
phia, but will not equal that at Chi
cago." This is doubtless a somewhat
exaggerated view, but it indicates the
spirit that is behind the movement
The correspondents who went to At
lanta all agree that the exposition, how
ever it shall compare with others, will
be very fine, and it will be especially
attractive and instructive as an eXhibi-
ton of the agricultural, mineral
and manufacturing resources of
the SOUTH which were made
quately shown at the Chicago
Worlds fair, few of the south
ern states having made any exhibit
there. In view of the fact that the
enterprise was undertaken at what
seemed to be a most inauspicious time,
in the midst of panic and depression,
the assured success of the undertaking
is in the highest degree creditable to
its projectors and to the energy and
liberality Of the people of Atlanta. The
exposition will be held at season when
thousands of northern people go south,
and 1t is safe to say that during the
last three months of the present year
the metropolis Of Georgia will contain
more northern people than at any time
since Its occupation by the union army
thirty one years ago.

most interesting significance. Old line

CoNVIC4-MADE FOREIGN GOODS.

The tariff law contains a provision
that all goods, wares, articles and
merchandise manufactured wholly or
in part In any foreign country by con-
Wet labor shall not be entitled to en-
try at any of the ports of the United
States, prohibits the importation
thereof and authorizes the secretary of
the treasury to prescribe such regula-
tions as may be necessary for the en-
foreement of the provision. But notwith-
standing this, it appears that articles
made by prison labor abroad find their
way into the American market 1t
seems that the effort to exclude convict
made goods has heretofore been d.
rected chiefly against certain classes of
rugs and other articles made In India,
but now the State department Is ad-
yised that there is danger of the in
PRODUCTION Of such goods from Ger

country have long been exported to
England, and not long since the ques-
lon OF excluding them was presented

BISMARCK AND AgR1RIAYiSM

The agrarians of Germany have a
powerful supporter of their cause in
Prince Bismarck, for although, as the
old statesman said last Sunday, he is
without influence with the present leg
islature, he is not without influence with
those who choose legislatures. 1t should
be understood, in order to Il right ap-
prehension of Bismarcks position, that
the agrarian element in Germany is not
composed of the actual farmers, but
rather of the land owners, very few Of
whom themselves cultivate their lands,
but lease them to farmers. Bismarck,
for example, is one of the great landed
proprietors of Germany and derives n
large income from his estate in the form
of rental revenue so that when he
speaks of those of our own flesh and
blood he refers to land owners chiefly
Undoubtedly, however, the actual farm
ers are to II very large extent in sym
pathy with the agrarian demands, be-
cause these contemplate the protection
of the products of German agriculture
against the competition of other coun-
tries. the effect of which would be to
increase the price of such products. As
n consistent protectionist Bismarck be-
lieves in extending the policy to agri-
culture as well as to the manufacturing
Industries, and therefore he is opposed
to those commercial treaties which open
the markets of Germany to the agricul-
t,tr nP nth t,;oa rbn
ground of his depreciation of the haste
with which such treaties had been
rushed through Parliament, that the rev.
enue thus lost is urgently needed for
strengthening the army, was not his
only or his principal reason for opposi-
ton to the policy which has been pur-
sued but it was the safest one he could
present, because nearly all Germans are
susceptible to an argument for keeping
the army strong,
The policy of German agrarianism has
an interest for the American people, be-
cause it contemplatGs restrictions upon
the importations of our products into
Germany to a greater extent perhaps,
than upon those of any other country.
The exclusion Of American cattle from
Germany was unquestionably conces-
sion to the agrarian element, but that
was not sufficient to satisfy it, and 1t is
still urging legislation the effect of
which would be detrimental to the trade
Of this country with Germany. 1t is
possible that in time the agrarians will
bp oblp IN SpcIlI,p fills but i'm order to
do so they will have to win many ad-
herents from the classes of people who
do not want the cost of living increased.
