The congratulatory message sent by
President Mckinley to Queen Victoria is
n terse and sensible expression appro-
PIRATE to the occasion and the persons
between whom it is interchanged. Few
people appreciate the difficulty of say
ing neither too little nor too much in
IA message of this kind. President Me
Kinley has paid Il tribute to the reign
of The British sovereign and the progress
made under il without detracting from
the achievements of our own country
during the same period.

Millions Accounted For.

After three weeks work the experts sent
from Washington to count the cash in the
New York sub-treasury have completed their
task, having handled in all $l95, 3S3, 600. The
only discrepancy found was an error of
about 81 in the petty cash. An exhibit like
this goes a long way toward demonstta at
ing both the honesty and the capability of
the government employees, since it is no
small feat to handle such large sums, in the
rush of daily business. without a mistake
and it seems there has been no yielding to

1t is easy enough to understand why the
authorities of Germany prefer that emf
grants from that country should go to lands
where they will not assimilate with the peo-
pie or establish permanent homes but 1t is
hard to see why the emigrants themselves
ehould allow that preference to guide their
steps. In neither Africa nor South America
can Germans expect so warm welcome as
they get here from the people of the same
blood as themselves, and certainly the re-
wards of their industry there are not so
certain or so great
