OUR INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS,

Germany's industrial progress has per-
haps exceeded that of any other nation of
Europe, but the manufacturers in the
realm OF the Kaiser have found them
selves practically outdone in many fields
by American enterprise. A writer in the
Weser Zeitung, Bremen, believes that
American energy, close application to
business and judicious study of the wants
of foreign Gus omeIs threaten to deprive
the German of the advantages he has
gained over England.
The writer in question AYERS that the
Germans fail to follow the extraordinarily
quick changes which take place in the
far East as far as industrial development
is concerned. He attributes this neglect
in measure TO the present prosperity in
Germany. The German manufacturer is
kept so busy attending to the demands OF
the home market, that he fails to provide
for the slack times which must inevitably
follow. He does not study the foreign
market and conditions as exhaustiyely as
the American, and our countrymen have
Tar better system of obtaining reports
from abroad.
While American as we'll as English
firms IN the engineering trade send out
trained engineers to solicit orders, Ger
man firms content themselves with being
represented by some commercial traveller,
who handles their goods as side line.
Catalogues OF American goods invari-
ably contain the prices. while the German
catalogue often omits this important mat
ter. In regard to Oriental trade, the
means adopted by the manufacturers OF
the United States have given them big

SULLIVAN'S RISING STAR.

Boston, the Athens of the Western
World, city of culture and nurse Of 1850
phies" and "isms," has laid aside Plato,
Emerson, Browning, Epictetus and her
other idols, for the time being, and is
focusing her attention on the subject of
m municipal pol lies. Just at present she
is looking about among her four or five
hundred thousand for a suitabl candidate
for Mayor.
Boston probably knows what she wants
in this respect better than we do. 1t is
difficult TO keep ths run of all her affairs
at this distance, and we don't pretend TO.
Nevertheless, we may be pardoned for
throwing in a few suggestions in regard
TO the expressed willingness. of one OF
Boston's famous sons to relieve her
minds eye OF a strain and advertise him
self as her champion against all corners
in the municipal arena OF the Bean
eaters. We refer to the illustrious John
Lawrence Sullivan.
The erstwhile king of gladiatorial war
riors has cast aside the weapons of his
CORY trade, and is to- day hankering, from
the bottommost depths OF his innermost
soul, for one OF the choice laurel wreaths
OF sunny peace.
John L. would fain be Mayor of Boston,
His choice of tickets would be that OF the
Dem ocratic faction which still has the
nerve to trust its feet on the badly
damaged planks of the Chicago platform
Mr.. Sullivan's record on the silver ques-
ton is unassaiIable. Unlike the speeches
OF that other great man, who recently
travelled through California on a railroad
pass and posed as a tue blue anti-mon-
opoly man t all the stopping-places John
L. has, at least, been consistent. If his
speeches do not TEEN with secondhand
figures of rhetoric, he can, at least, be I'M
derstood; and he is vastly superior to Mr.
Bryan as an economist of time in saying
nothing.
Mr. Sullivan's popularity is unques-
toned. In his various tours of the Nation
the crowds that fiocked to gaze upon his
Titanic figure in every big city might be
compared to the outpouring or a popu-
lace IN classic times Ito see great Pompey
pass the gates of Rome" or ito rejoice
when Cesar came in triumph. The clarion
voiced eocutionist from Lincoln, Nebr.,
cannot boast j. the face of history of ova-
tons more numerous or noisy throughout
the whole land than were accorded John
L. Sullivan, even before his star assumed
its present magnitude in the political
armament.
Perhaps John L. has designs in Ma
tona affairs, and that he reckons upon
using Boston's mayoralty as stepping
stone to more xalted station. He has a
greater physique than Mr.. Cleveland, and
weighs as much as the well-known fisher
man. Physically he would certainly fill
the Mayors chair of Boston.
He might save that city many heavy ex-
penses. For instance, in case of a riot or
mob gathering there wouli be no neces-
sity Of swearing in extra policemen or
even of calling out the regular force
Mayor Sullivan could leave off signing
city warrants for few moments and clear
the streets as matter of exercise.
Without doubt were Mr.. Sullivan NOM
mated he could knock out any of his op-
ponents. But then, as we remarked be-
lore, Boston knows her own mind better
than we do.

THE Third Home AGAIN.
Tents Struck by the Brigade
at Their Camp at
Santa Cruz.
Close of One of the Most Successful
Enoampments Ever Held in
the State.

I The Third Brigade, which has been en-
camped at Santa Cruz for the past week,
broke camp ut 10 o'clock yesterday.
Reveile was sounded as usual. After
breakfast at A. NJ. tents were struck and
all preparations to move were made. Re.
ligious services were conducted by the
Sixth Regiment chaplain at 8 A M, sacred
mu.ic being rendered by the Sixth Regi-
ment band.
The encampment is considered the most
successful ever held in Santa Cruz. Dis
cipline has been rigidly enforced. The men
performed their duties cheerfuIly and to
the best of their ability. Generals James
and Muller were present and made few
remarks before the regiment left the
grounds.
The Sixth Regiment made better
showing than ever before. Colonel Stew
art s. Wright of Fresno, the new COM
mander of the Sixth, is popular with all.
The Sixth Regiment band OF twenty.
three pieces, with Will s. Scott of Fresno
a drum ior, made decided hit.
The sanitary corps OF the Second Regt.
ment contains tne lot OF boys. They
have a mandolin club and a male quartet.
Thursday night the corps, known as the
White Squadron, gave spectacular 'full'
undress drill on the battalion parade
ground. Their wardrobe was scant, but
the scenic effects under the light of pale
moon were fine. The genial Captain PA
jane" Clark of Stockton was in com mand
and handled his men well. On Septem-
Der 25 the corps will pay the Captain q
visit at his home in Stockton, when the
Sixth Regiment band will give grand
ball in their honor
The Second Regiment arrived In this
City over the narrow-gauge railroad at 8
o'clock. The Sixth came over the broad
gauge and arrived here at 4 80.
Last night the boys were roaming the
City at will, glad that they were through
their la bors at camp.
