States with American interests" It would
be analogous, the Prince is said to have
added, II Russia and F. ance combined to
disallow frontier change in Europe, orthe
preponderating Powers in Asia, Russia and
Great Britain arrogated the right not to
change the political status without their
consent.
Continuing Prince Bismarck Is reported
to have remarked: "Their great wealth,
due to the soil Of America, has led the
American legislators to over-estimate their
own rights and underestimate the rights OF
the other American and the European
States.'

A Wonder of the World.
New York World.


Galveston, OIL the coast of Texas, is
much farther from Chicago than New
York is. 1t is about three times as far
from Galveston to New York. Yet ship
pers in Chicago are actually sending
freight from that city to this by way of
Galveston, as a matter of economy.
That is to say, they are having their
freight hauled by rail greater distance
than from Chicago to New York and car
RED thence by sea three times that dis
lance, in order to reach this city.
Not much freight has followed this
route as yet, brt the Journal of Commerce
says that if the steamer lines continue
their rate war all freight which is not i'll
a hurry will go from Chicago to New
York and from New York to Chicago by
way of Galveston.
1t is a wonderful age and wonderful
living were born it would have taken the
better part of the year to haul freight
from Chicago to Galveston, even if Indian
and other depredators had permitted it to
pass. Moreover there was no Chicago
then, where princc1y city now stands,
and there was 10 Galveston. Still fur
ther, there was no freight of grain from
Western fields seeking the sea for trans
portation to the hungry i'll the Old World.

continent is the greatest of the modern

Thompson and that he was

planned:
Gentlemen, l want to ask
a question, and hope you will
answer me truthfully. I want to
ask each one separately, so as to
see if all agree or disagree.
Then he walked each one of us
in turn down the veranda a few
feet and whisperingly inquired:
Z" Do you believe that any such
man as General Washington actu-
ally lived and was the father of
his country"

about it?'

Wilmington Star.

The gold advocates make them
selves ridiculous sometimes in
their efforts to score point
against silver. It has been con-
tended by silver men that there
was a mutual relation between the
foodstuffs of the world and silver,
and that the price of silver was
gauge, so to speak, Of the prices
of foodstuffs. Of course it is not
contended that if silver goes up
one day and down another that
the prices of foodstuffs will go up
and down Immediately in sympa-
thy. What is meant is that tax
ing the years i'll and comparing
the rise and fall IN prices there is
an average relation between the
prices of these things and the price
of silver, which is sustained by
the comparisons fer given num-
Der of years. The gold men are
now making much ado because the
price of wheat is going up and sill
yer down. With famine in India
and short crops Of wheat i'll nearly
all the wheat growing countries in
he~world except the United States
and perhaps Canada, there is an
extraordinary demand for wheat,
and of course an increase in price,
while on the contrary silver IS
handicapped by legislation which
narrows the markets and decreases
the demand for it, which sufficient
ly account for its downward ten
dency. Remove these restrictions,
give silver the same chances that
wheat has, and its price would 60
up instead of down, and so would
the price of wheat go up with it.
But while one has free access t
the markets of the world, with al
extraordinary demand resulting
from scarcity, and the other is
crowded out by restrictive legisla
ton it lis not reasonable to expect
;. that they should always remain
together in the matter of relative
value.
