The smallest independent state in
Europe is neither the principally Of
Monaco, with its population of 10000
souls, nor the republic Of St. Martin,
with its 5000 inhabitants, nor that of
Andora, containing only 5000 citizens,
but Moresnet with population of
scarcely 1900 souls. Moresnet, which
is thoroughly autonomous, is situated
on the Germano- Belgian frontier, about
half way between Verviers and Aix-la-
Chapella. 1t lies in picturesque val
ley, watered by the little river Gueule.
How Morsenet has maintained lis in
dependence has just been explained 10
a French journalist by the Belgian
minister to Paris. The commune of
Moresnet, as it existed under the en-
pire, was, after The retreat of the French
in the early years Of the century, adj
ministered exclusively by the Prussian
authorities till 1917. At that time it
was divided into three parts, in virtue
Of the treaty of Juue 26, 1916. The
principal portion was annexed to Hol-
land, another portion was united to
Prussia, and the third portion, situated
between the two, formed the neutral
territory. 1t contains the calamine es-
Establishment of the Vieille Montague,
and the importance of that establish
ment, which now produces yearly some
25,000,0 900 Kilograms of ore and fur.
nishes Europe with about SO per cent
Of the zinc it employs, rendered it i'm.
possible for the negotiators to come to
an understanding concerning that frac
ton of the frontier. 1t, indeed, seems
unlikely that a decision concerning
it will be taken for a long time, as the
government of both Germany and Bel
GUM claim possession of the mines O.
the "Old Mountain" That is VIII,
that piece Of contested territory has
tor the last 80 years, preserved its neu
trail character and its political independ
ence.
Prussia and Belgium have each {
commissary, whose duty it is TO inter
vene in case of difficulties arising; bu
that is purely formal suzerainty. Tn,
Belgian representative is at the presen
moment M. Bleytnesy, sub perfect o
Verviers, and that of Prussia Counselo
Gulcher. Tie supreme chief Of thi
minute republic is M. Schmetz, VIII,
contents himself with the title of bur
gomaster, and has occupied that pos
since 1884. The ideal taxation of q
bout six francs per head, nevertheless
suffices to provide subvention for th
school and for the repairing of the road:

Sets Mr.. Grafton Right.

EDITOR LEADER
1t is strange mistake people often
make of going to the Leader to reply
to something in the Register and vice
versa. Mr.. Grafton does this, thereby
placing himself and me in a half-intel-
ligent position before the people.
While quoting from the Register he
omitted all the information that led
to the announcement of Col. Nye by
his friends. Mr.. Grafton's candidacy
appeared to be the product of methods
now on trial before the people. AS the
situation now is it matters little who
should 60 AS matters were when he
first entered the contest it was differ
ent Some doubted even Ohio. 1t was
not that questioned Mr.. Grafton's sin

Dirty Feet and Poor Health.

Dr. Horatio S. Brewer writes the
Medical World: A patient of mine sug-
gested to me that if l washed my feet
every night in warm water and dashed
them into a cold bath afterward,
would find my rheumatic troubles re-
lieved.
Now, once a week / have been accus-
toned to bath my feet and considered
/ was an average clean person. By
following out the advice | find that it
has greatly assisted in relieving my
self of periodical attacks of migraine,
and for wonder it has greatly helped
an acidity of the stomach which afflict-
ed me very much. He claims (being
an electrician that man requires
to come in contact with the earth, and
that incrustations on the feet become
non-conductors of electricity. He
eschews rubbers, and cites statistics to
prove that people who go the nearest
barefooted are more rugged and eX-
empt from colds.
RubberS make one feel uncomforta-
BILE, and what relief it is to let the
cold air play on ones feet after being
closed up in air-tight covering all day.
Is it possible that dirty feet produce or
aggravate migraine?
He claims an exemption from rheu-
matism to those who will go barefooted

He may haye borrowed the suggestion
from the priest who claims to cure all
diseases by walking on ice or in snow.
In these days of artificial heat, food
and vitiated atmosphere, it is great
wonder there is no greater mortality
than there is.

/ with many others knew no man
would be quite SO agreeable to Gov.
Mckinley as Col. Nye and for this rea-
son and to rebuke the method which
was designed to give the people no
voice in it l favored the presentation
of Col Nye's name.
Mr.. Grafton says he refers to the
visit of the one man, / to another.
His man came on his motion to visit
friends and not to urge anybody. 1t
did not seem possible Mr.. Grafton
would try to induce Gov. Mckinley to
interfere In his behalf through such an
agency.
As to his recollection of the Sunday
interview, it is at fault as to what |
said and how / said it. l in no sense
then or ever after announced myself as

No one could find personal objections
to so excellent a gentleman as Mr.
Grafton, but if he is so sincerely loyal
to Mckinley why should he contend to
go to st. Louis when he knows that if
the Governor has any preference for
any man in the District it is for Col.
Nye? This know he knows.

Success Iltrovatore !

The hard work of Mrs. Montague-Tur-
ner and Prof. Berger, together with all
those who have so kindly consented to
take part in I'll Trovatore,'' has brought
forth splendid results, as the many people
who will attend the performance of the
opera in the Irwin next Wednesday night
will have occasion to witness.
Careful training has brought the prfn-
cipal parts and the choruses to a high
standing, and has succeeded in instilling
those most necessary qualities-grace and
ease.
The rehearsal last night was most no
ticeably characterized by the qualities
mentioned above. 1t might be well to
mention just here that there are but a
few seats remaining and that the first
man at the window gets the best of those
left
