feeling in De Soto that the era of in
creased hours and steadier employment
has come.

should stick, to American affairs We should let other affairs severely alone. We should maintain our isolation, and independence, and our domination here in America. It is our traditional policy, and any attempt to substitute Jingoism for it, as the republican party has re- peatedly tried to do, should be prompt ly and sternly rebuked.
 And as to England-'llle land of Shakespeare and the mother tongue the home of aneastors-t1le refuge of the oppressed in Europe-let us be slow to quarrel with her. We can better af- ford to stand much aggression on her part, than to weaken and humiliate her before such nations as Russia, and such rulers as the present Kaiser.

ALWAYS UNDER DISCUSSION.

In the cheesemalSing districts of Switz- erland one of the strongest of marriage customs has prevailed for centuries. When the wedding takes place the friends of the happy couple present them @ huge cheese, which becomes the family register These cheeses ana nleirIooms and on them are carved all the important everits of a famiDy-bfrths, deaths and maTriagss. At tine fair held every year In Ges1enay a great many of these rec ord cheeses have been shown, some of which frave been 1S0 or 200 years old. Tins o.dI-t' ever shown was made fn 1e6o and bears the family record from that date down to the present day
 Gn fashionable Russian circles we'd dings are solemnzed in a drawing room and by candle light The wedding is fol- lowed by banquet. ball and supper. At itifts last repast a new satin slipper po- htefy supposed to be the brides, is pro- duceId and is used BIS a cup, every one drinking the brides health from it tiy1 1t is soaked through and will hold no more wine. Wffen the brides health is drunk it Is the father and not the Husband who returns thanks, as the fathsr's au- thority over his daughters does mot cease with tlbair marriage
 The usual preparation for maItrinlony is the getting together of large and expensive trousseau, house-hunting and furniture buying. In Africa, however, the dusky bridegroom has to pass through an ordeal which civilized lover would shrink from. To show of what metal he Is made and to fin1 whether he has sufficient patience to stand the frets of married life, the African bride groom has his hands tied up for couple of hours in a lag containing five fire ants. If he bears unmoved the tortures of Itheir stirigs he is considered fuay qualified, for the exemplary patience and fortitude requtrei could not fail to be- long to an amiable Husband.

Our Rank Among Nations.

The London Globe, in g. recent pet over some salty words of our amateur diplo- macy, declared that this country is at best but a. fourth rate power. True enough in many respects. We lack the population of Russia, the navy of Great Britain, the armies of many countries Nevertheless, we are by reason of iso- lation much safer from overthrow or even attack than any of the nations that outrank us in numbers or size of fleet or army.
 England could attack us and destroy probably our unprotected ports, but while she was engaged in that work we would occupy Canada, and our cruisers would be asailing her multftudinous and helpless merchant ships. And would there not be others to assist us? Would not France siege the opportunity to drive England out of Egypt. Would not Rus sia take in Afghanlstan?
 And so it is with all the other powers. Not one of them can afford to attack us, or even to seriously interfere with our lines of policy in Cuba or South America. So far as the Americas are concerned, we have free hand. The absurd Kaiser may buster, but it is only buster. He is powerless against this country. His fleet is not a match even for our youthful navy, and his people want no war with this country. He is the century's meddIer. and his nu- merous speeches are about as worthy of serious consideration as are those of a new congressman who is trying to att tract attention to himself.
 With the other nations of Europe we have had no quarrels. and probably nev- CT will have. Cruel, pHiless Spain, is not one of the powers of modern Europe; she is on the toboggan slide. The fact is, no nation but England is in a posi- ten to cross us, if we stick, as we

Iron Ore in 1896.

Twentythree states produced in 1896, according to figures gathered for tils forthcoming report of the United States gsl5logical survey, 16,OO5,449 long tons of Iron ore. This sum has been exceeded twice-in 1890 and 1892, but in each of those years by small amounts only. As 1896 was @ year of almost unexampled depress,on, thsre is promise of a hand some increase of production in the suc- ceeding years.
 The Lake Superior district produces nearly two~thirds of the supply, and that district, together with Alabama, supply three-fourths, of the product, leaving one-fourrh to come from nineteen states. Following is the production of all the states that in 1896 contributed over 6O,- GOO hons.

ORDERED HIS OWN EXECUTION.
An Army Officer Who Was Shot Down by His
 Own Orders.
From the Buffalo Express.

From the Buffalo Express.
 You hear of men being shot by other men in the same army" said veteran with long chin whislers, but the most remarkable case of the kind that I ever knew of happened during the siege of Yorktown, where a captain named Wood was kiIlAad by one of his own men, and by his own orders at that.
 Captain Wood was the officer of the day, and he had posted his last picket at night. He had given stn.c; orders to all of the pichets to shoot the first man they saw approaching from the direction of the confederate lines, without wait ing to ask them for the countersign, for we were in close and dangerous quar- ters then, and it might endanger the whole army if a picket stopped to par ley with would-be visitors. After giv- ing these instructions to the last picket Captain Wood left him and started, as he supposed, to return to the camp. It was very dark, however, and he lost his way. and instead of going inside the lines he went outside. He soon discoy- cred his mistake and turned back. His road took him past the picket to whom he had just given the decisive order. In the darkness the quick-sighted soldier. saw dark figure stealing along the road, raised his piece and fired. The bullet struck Captain Wood in the side. 1nfiicting mortal wound. The mistake was soon discovered, but Captain Wood remained conscious long enough to ex- onerate the picket from all blame and died in the consciousness that he had ordered his own execution"

CongressmSs Gaines Sustained.

The American Manufacturer and Iron cEned to find flaws in the eight claims of advantage that Congressman Gaines, of Tennessee, laid before Assistant Sec retary Roosevelt fin the course of his advocacy of the building of an armor plant in the south. The champion of Pfbtsburg interests thinks the statement that the best iron and steel can be made 45 per cent. cheaper in the southern dis trict than elsewhere, too extravagant. But dts own columns show that MT. Gaines did not over-estinate the per- centage.
 The Manufacturer, to begin at the be- ginning, prints a table showing that Pennsylvania iorn OTIS at the mines in 1896 were worth SIPS a ton Michigan ores, T.7S; Minnesota ores. SIPS; Ala bama ores 60 cents. These figures show a saving of fully 45 per cent at the mines, and all of these ores are subj 4ct to transportation charges at least 45 per cent. higher than the Alabama ores. The Manufacturer in fact mentions an Alabama mill that procures it's ore and coal within a radius of three milss, us- ing its own tracks only.
 At the mill, too, Ewing is cheaper and ths refore so is labor. In this con- nection is given the Manufacturers s own words: Tn the chaap negro labor the south may be considered to have a decided advantage. While the negro requires peculiar management to secure the most effective service he is, when properly directed, the mainstay of south- ern industry. He is traotable, peaceful, and adapted to the warm climate. He is not striker, and becomes by training exceedingly sziliful in his trade. In this respect tha south has advantages"
 Is 1t not correct when it is said it is necessary to go outside of the columns of the Manufacturer in order to find ann pie support for Congressman Gaines claim of superior economy in southern iron making? AS to quality, expressed in the word best" the armor plats board is judge and jury. As Pbttsburg has made armor plate from Birmingham iron by the open hearth process, and as the people here propose to do lTkswise, thede Is no reason why objection as to quality should be raised in Pittsburg. Chicago might claim superiority with some degree of plausibility. but not Pattsburg; for the latter seems to prefer Birmingham iron when she has an ar mor plate contract to fill.

Wholesale Education.

Dr. William T. Harris, commissioner of education, has completed the grand school roll of the country for the year ending July 1, 1896. The enrolment stocd at that time at 16, 415. 197. This great number includes 41S,000 scholars in bus mess colleges, music schools and other like special institutions. When the num- Der of these scholars is deducted there remains as the number in schools and colleges, public and private, 15,997, ,197, 3OS,375. The number in public institu- tions was 14,465,S71. leaving 1,531.S as the number in private institutions
 TIllese gigantic aggregates are of course very pleasing and very compn- mentary ito this country. The spirit of cooperation and unselfshnass shine through them. The charity that does not lessen self-respect permeates every figure in the sum totals. It is a grand result, and every dollar thus expended will appear largely magnifled in the re- sources and wealth and glory of the coming century. The end of the old century need not stand abashed before the coming one when it can present such figures of devotion to the public good.
 But there is one feature of the re- port that Is not altogether encouraging. The progress in technical training dur ing the year was not very great. We naed more technical schools; we need more manual training in the ordinary public schools. In the latter the train ing of the artisans of the next gener- ation should be begun.
 Even in the primary schools the chil- dren should be taught drawing, and & little later the elementary principles of the mechanic arts. And beyond the public schools we need many more trade schools. The public schools should keep in view the trade schools; the trade schools should be kept in touch with the chief industries of their respective To- calities.
 Unless we do this we cannot hope to compete with the trained workmen of Germany or France. We will lag in the industrial race and the gap between the workmen trained in the schools and those untrafned will be widened as the years go on. We should never forget that the day of handmade goods from small shops has forever passed away. | We live in an age on standardization and of complicated machinery, and elemen- tal training is requisite to success. When Dr. Harris complies next sum- mer the figures of 1S96-97. it is to be hoped the growth of technical schools will appear We are doing we'll in ev-
