No doubt remains in my mind that the
manufacturers and commercial classes
of the United States, with some possible
exceptions, are inadequately informed
Of the manners, social customs and
business methods of Brazil The former
are characteristically French, the latter
altogether English"
There is no sentiment in trade. Moth
ing short of a practical demonstration
of our ability to compete successfully
with European manufacturers and pro-
ducers, together with the necessary ia
cltties for handling the business on an
American basis, will meet the require
ment and at the same time overcome the
difficulties against which our people are
contending in these markets.
While, therefore, in the promotion of
commercial relations between the two
countries the results to follow this visit
may not be as satisfactory as was an
ticipated, it is the first step In the right
direction, which, if supported by ener-
getic action on the part of our manu-
facturers and merchants in the estab-
hshment of trade facilities, placing
American goods for sale in this country,
and providing for more speedy transpor-
tation between the United States and
Brazil, trade will follow and in time a
rich reward harvested by those who
have the nerve to make the venture in
opening new markets for American
products.

YOUNG BERRY AGAIN.
Under Examination on a Charge o
Taking Threats Against Life.

On the evening Of the 31st of last jan
uary g. youth named Jack Berry, who
was smitten with young miss named
Maude Methven, fired a. shot through the
door Of her home presumably in an at
tempt to revenge himself for her indif-
ference toward him. For this he was
held to answer. He was finally allowed
to plead guilty to simple assault and
was sentenced to three months in Jail.
It was promised at that time that
Berry would not again molest the girl,
but lately he has. it is said, been causing
her some annoyance.
However, he has again been arrested
on a charge of threats against life, and
his case was called for examination yes
terday in Justice Henry's court. The
charge seems to be based partially on
the occurrence Of last January, and Ber-
rvs attorney, w. A. Anderson. objected
to the testimony on the ground that
Berry was once in jeopardy on that
charge.

DECISION RENDERED.
Judge Catlin ApportiOns the Debt OF
Districts SIS and 673.

Judge Catlin has rendered q decision
in the case of Reclamation District $50
against Reclamation District 678, as
follows:
From the evidence adduced at the
hearing l find the acreage of District
535 is 5,463.8S acres, and of District
673 is 3,023.7O acres.
THE districts were segregated on the
18th Of November, 1895. On that day
the total debt of both amounted to
$l1,41S 20. That is to say, that sum
was the debt Of District 535 when Dis
trict 673 was carved out Of District
535
ION consideration Of the evidence
adduced, as well as the suggestions and
arguments of counsel as to the adjust
ment OF said Indebtedness. I have ar
rived at the conclusion that a just pro-
portion of said debt would be as fol-
lows:
"Five-eighths thereof to District 535,
and three -eighths to District 623.
Let a decree accordingly be pre-
pared and entered"

1t Is customary to speak of the Amer
lean army as over 25,000 strong, but
the Secretary Of War in his report just
at hand points out that, deducting the
sick, men on detached service, absent
on furlough, serving In staff depart
ments, and recruits not Joined, the eff
fective field strength of the army is
but 22.3S2 of all arms. The legal
strength of the army being 25,710, we
have, on the basis of population of
100000, but one soldier, including
officers and all orders of service, to
about 2.723 people. Surely, not a for
midable array of military strength.

A SUBSIDY FAILURE.

The State has for some years ad-
hered to the policy of subsidizing an
Educational Journal" on the basis Of
paying it's publishers a spot sum per
month and requiring one copy Of the
journal to be placed in each District
School Library.
It never was a success. Outside Of
the library numbers the circulation of
such issues was exceedingly limited,
and beyound giving the Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction a medium for
publishing his decisions in such form
that the local board of education could
conveniently consult them, the jour-
nails subsidized served no largely use
full purpose It is true that outside Of
the library numbers some few were
taken by educators, but the great mass
of teachers did not read these mag
azines.
Recently, with a view Of increasing
the reading circulation of the official
journal, the Overland Monthly" a
magazine of general circulation, was
made the official school journal. Un-
der that order the magazine has de-
voted a given number Of pages to ed
ucational matter, and the publication
of official orders and decisions, but out
side of that the magazine that went to
the general public did not contain the
educational matter, a separate edition
being run for school purposes. The
subsidy paid is $4,000 year. A meas
ure, it is understood, will be introduced
in the Legislature to abolish the sub
sidy wholly Such orders as the De-
partment of Education wishes to trans
NIT to school officials will then be is
sued in bulletin form and at a. greatly
reduced cost.
The subsidy scheme has really proven
a failure, and some such measure of
abolishment as is proposed should
therefore be adopted, and the whole
subject Of official journals be dropped
out Of the State educational system.

feel that all York will take a just pride
in honoring the brave Americans who
here met and swept from the face of the
earth the flower of the British army.
This was the most complete victory that
was won by the Americans in their strug-

many Americans that it was more impor-
tant in it's results even than Yorktown.
Our people are in full sympathy with the
proposed work and will give them any
assistance or encouragement they can.
Inside of the next 30 days, public road

A. Lee, the rector ofthe Episcopal church

We desire to put upon record our esteem
for Mr.. Lee as q Christian gentleman and
as minister of Christ and we bear testi :
mony to his Christian character and real
worth as manifested III his daily walk In

We extend to the congregation over

God of all grace and comfort may sustain

- This year is the first time that either OF

geographically speaking, it is still unfair
to call Mr.. Bryan a western man. BY
reference to the map, it will be seen that
Lincoln, Nebraska, is pretty nearly the
centre of the United States. The dis
tance from the Atlantic is 1,100 miles ;
from the Pacific 1900; from the Canada
line 500 miles, and from the gulf 700 miles.
Thus Mr.. Bryan is little more of an east
ern man than western man little more OF
northern man than southern man {; and
little more OF silverite than goldbug.
He is just the man for president.
