Our Industrial Growth.

Some figures employed in speech at
Pittsburg the other evening by Theo-
dore c. Search, president of the Manu-
facurers' association Of the United
States, to illustrate the growth Of the
manufacturing interests of this coun-
try in the past half century, are in
structive enough to deserve reproduc-
tion.
In 1910, as he pointed out, the pro-
ducts of all our industries amounted to
only $500,0OO,00O in value-about equal
to the output Of the iron and steel in
dustries of today. In 1850 the value
Of our manufactured product was ST.
O19OOO, 900; in 1860 it was s1,ss5, ,OOO. 900.
Then came the enormous industrial de-
velopment under the stimulus of the
protective tariffs, and by 1870 the pro-
duct of our manufacturers was reck-
oned at $4,232 900, 900; in 1880 it was
IS, 100000. Following this came the
period of greatest activity this coun-
try has ever known, the period culmi-
mating in the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, so that in 1890 the pro-
duct of our industries was $9,372, ,000, 600.
According to Mulhall we lead the
world in our productive power. He fig
ures that the aggregate of all the ener-
gies in use in the United States in 1890
was equal to 1910 tons per capita. while
the position Of other nations was as

There has, during this period, been
wonderful increase in the production
of iron and steel In 1870 the produc-
tion Of pig iron averaged So gross tons,
and in 1890 about 1921 tons. In 1876 the
average annual capacity of each blast
furnace was about 6311 gross tons,
while at the present the average Is
81 900 tons. There are now but 469
blast furnaces in the country, against
713 in 1876; but the annual output is
17,373,637 tons now against 4,S74.312 of
twenty years ago. In 1884 the average
daily output of coal for each man EN-
ployed in the bituminous mines of
Pennsylvania was 2.18 tons, while in
1894 1t was 1922 tons. During the same
years the anthracite output increased
from 1.7O to 2.07 tons per man per day.

Woman Suffrage in Colorado.

The experiment which Colorado has
lately taken in woman suffrage has ev-
identity satisfied it's advocates. Rev.
j. II. Ecob, of Denver, writing upon
the subject, says:
Political machinery has been in the
hands of men for generations and per-
fected for uses not altogether the best,
and backed by long standing prejudices
of the people, is not easily changed in
character so as to work for better pur-
poses. Accordingly, the friends of equal
suffrage should not ask too much in
these first years of trial. The new vot-
ers have much to learn and much to
overcome, but they have taken up their
duties with characteristic patience and
devotion. The feminine instinct for
detail is telling most benefcially in
their new duties, for. while men are
voting contentedly with their party
and pay little attention to the charac-
ter of party candidates, the women are
looking for the best men in all parties
and prepare their ballots with a con-
scientious care which is quite revela-
tiOn to husbands, sons and brothers.
They show decided tendency for in
dependent voting. One conspicuous re-
suit of woman suffrage is the deep
ening sense of ssterhood, the more in
telligent and prosperous showing an
eager desire that the less fortunate
should ha i,,c cfr,,c tod In ha;
ties so that woman's vote may not be
charged with the reprOaches which
men so freely prophesied by it's enemies
The effect of equal suffrage upon wo-
men Is seen in less attention to frivol-
GUS social distinctions and deeper and
broader comprehension of the more Sc
rious affairs of life"
We can imagine that all this is true
and yet not be convinced that the ex-
pertinent will result successfully. The
question which remains unanswered Is,
How large a percentage of the women
of Colorado are SO Indifferent to the
ballot that they either do not vote at
all or else do SO only in a perfunctory
manner? A few might vote with great
regularity and conscientiousness, but
are the women of the state in mass ex-
crcising their new prerogative with
eagerness and. in the main, with dis
cretion? These are the points upon
which information would be thank
fully received.
The Tribune has never opposed wo-
man suffrage on the narrow ground
that women have not equal rights with
men; nor has 1t altogether approved of
unrestricted male suffrage. Theoret-
ically, suffrage belongs only to those
fit to exercise it, without regard to SEX
But practically, have we not enough
complexities in the problem as 1t now
stands without admitting more?

General Harrison has at last in his
own name and right taken himself
from the list Of eligible candidates for
official preferment. In declining to
permit the use of his name in connec-
tion with the next Indiana senatorship
he remarks: ITO remain in private
life is my desire and my purpose. This
purpose is not wholly selfish, for to
those friends who have urged the too
friendly view that could serve the
country usefully in public office I have
answered that I can probably do better
service out of office; that what might
say or write on public questions as u
private citizen will obtain more conf
dence." General Harrison can feel as

The Booth Case Ended.

The complete eXoneration Of Profes-
sor Howell by the board Of control af-
ter hearing the testimony in the Booth
case relieves this journal Of an un-
pleasant duty which it would otherwise
have owed to justice-the duty OF pup
fishing the testimony in his defense
This exoneration, sustained as 1t no"
is by well-informed public sentiment
brings almost to an end an episode oi
regretful features but witha! instruct
i've. Mrs. Booth will, after the board
finding tonight, doubtless see the pro-
priety of apologizing to the superin-
tendent of the schools in as public
manner as she recently, and under
mistaken belief, attacked him. and then
the whole case can be dropped, with
a sigh of gladness.
1t may be proper to explain that The
Tribune's theory from the first has been
that so long as the superintendent acted
within the lines of his obvious duty 1t
was in turn the duty, not only OF the
school board-which overlooked this
fact when it gave Mrs. Booth oppor-
tunity to make an ill-advised and UNI
warranted attack upon him-but also
of the press and of the public generally
to sustain him. We have had from the
beginning no other thought or motive.
The outcome shows that we We're right
in this view and that the school board,
the Scranton Truth, and a number of
others. who at times said or intimated
otherwise, We're wrong.
In the past the board of control has
often been led into error by the STRAIT
egy of few cunning members with
individual axes to grind or grudges to
crafty, The present circumstance
may not have been one of these in
stances-we can hardly believe that ii
was-but it at least serves as an ad-
monition to greater discretion on the
part of the majority membership in
future. When next the superintendent
does his duty however unpleasant that
duty may be, let the board back him
up in it and not take such action as
will tend to break down all sense of
discipline and utterly demoralize the
schools.

In Santiago.

Santiago Is tho ancient capital of
Cuba. 1t stands ON sloping ground at the
head of magnificent land locked har-
Dor, and all around, in an amphitheater,
arc mountains and forests-a lovely
place, but fatal one for the Spanish
soldiers. Tho town itself is whited
sepulcher. The streets are narrow, and
the place filthy beyond all words; the
heat is only varied by tropical showers.
which fall every afternoon through the
summer and autumn months-rain SO
heavy that in very few minutes the
streets sloping down to the bay are like
muddy mountain streams, carrying with
them all kinds of refuse and rubbish.
Everywhere the yellow fever is abroad.
but it is particularly deadly among the
Spanish troops. How many die is never
made known; the dead are carried away
and buried by night, and in one hospital
hole was cut i'll the wall facing the
burial ground, that the soldiers outside
might not SEQ the nightly professions.
The Spanish soldiers stalk about the
streets in their dirty white linen uni
forms and big straw hats, looking pale
and thin; they are badly fed, and suffer
every kind Of privation. Boys for the
most part under 20, they are unaccus-
toned to the climate, and by exposure
are made unfit to battle with it. Con-

A Soothing Car Ride.

The latest cure for insomnia is cheap.
Tho remedy was suggested by an old
doctor to whom despairing young man
had gone for advice "Of course" said
the doctor, 81 could give you drugs that
would put you to sleep. but in the case
of young man that is to be avoided.
The reason you cannot sleep is your
nerves are unstrung. That does not nee
essarily mean that you must put your
nervous system to sleep by the use Of
drugs. What you want is mild excite
ment, that will lift your nervous system
out of the rut it has fallen into. The
best thing in the world to do that is a
trolley ride. Don't try to settle upon a
particular route. Just jump on any car
that comes along. Don't even ask the
conductor where the car is going, but
just go along with the car. 1t will sure
ly come back some time to the point
where you took it. If the route is eight
or ten miles long, SO much the better.
Ono thing is oertain-you will either
sleep during the ride or as soon as it is
over "-Philadelphi Record.

Most Popular Novels.

The novel or story which has probably
enjoyed the largest term of popularity
is Robinson Crusoe," by Daniel Defoe,
published in 1719. This novel attained
great popularity from its first appear
ance and is one of the very few that
have continued to be popular down to
the present day, or for more than 175
years. Defoe died April "a. 1871. The
next most popular works of fiction were
the Waverley novels of Sir Walter Scott.
published in 1814-1s31. So successful
have these novels been from then till
now that no fewer than 80 men have
been uninterruptedly engaged by one
Edinburgh firm for the last quarter of
century in producing them. OF Harriet
Beecher Stoves novel, "Uncle Tom s
Cabin" published in 1861, more than
a million copies in English have been
sold. ld.-Philadelphia Times.
