The republics to the south of is have
been growing ana expa nding during the
last ten years in a manner not unlike the
growth of our own country. Mr.. Porter
says that, as the railway system develop
we are bound TO get the lions share OF the
South American trade, if we only perse-
we're and cultivate the acquaintance of the
people there. And what are the leaders
of trade and commerce on the Pacific
Coast doing TO secure their share OF this
trade?
The Eastern States export the bulk
OF the manufactures represented in that
500, 600 600, ard Eastern business men
were fully alive TO their opportunities
when the international Commercial Con-
gress met recently in Philadelphia. The
South American delegates were invited
here and there throughout the East,
shown the big mills and factories and
shipyards, as well as products of the soil
and treated roy ally in addition.
4 little effort might have brought many
of those delegates TO the Pacific Coast,
where they might have been introduced,
for one thing, TO our great wine industry,
and regaled on the superior product of our
vineyards. Those South Americans doubt
less import their wines from France. 1t is
possible that, had they visited US, we
might have made converts of some OF
them. 1t would not have been out of the
way for many of them TO have come to
San Francisco. To secure q respects bic
percentage of the South American trade
we must keep on ceaselessIy urging and
pushing forward our advantages. We
should lose no lime IN "cultivating the
acquaintance" of our neigh bors of the
republics 10 the south of us.

HOME NEWS,

The Drych, the National organ of the
Welsh people in America, and by far
the best Welsh paper printed in the
language in any country, commits a
grave mistake by stating that the
Welsh bard Thomas Jehu, of Provi-
dence, received his nom de plume from
a source which would be in direct vio-
lation of all Bardic rules. But the in
tention of the "squib' had a double
intention like many of the double DIS
worn by persons nowadays. Fortunate
ly, however, the "squib" amounted to
nothing. Neither do the double D's-
simply a gravitation kite. Mr.. Jehu re-
ceived his nom de plume from Thomas
Cilcenin Evans, B. b. D., of Nanticoke,
Pa, an authorized representative of
the Gorsedd in America, and was as
sisted in the ceremony by Mr.. John d.
r. Richards, (Ehedydd Teilo), of the
firm of Boyle & Mucklow, of this city,
and others. LEV Y. Bryn should make
a public statement. 1t will be to his in
terest to do so. Gorsedd matters are too
sacred for tomtits to play with.
The August number of THE Ameri-
can Kelt" has made it's appearance,
and is unusually interesting. The fol-
lowing is from the pen of Rhys Wynne:
A BARD OF LLANGOLLEN.
"a translation of "Yn Nyffryn Liam
gol!en," i'm Songs of Wales" p. 1861
A bard of Llargollen once thrilled the
sweet Vale,
AS poor as famous, and of him this tale:
OF water and bread the old barL had no
store,
OF thirst and of hunger he died at his
door;
But when he was dead, true the shiverng
thought,
Abundance of bread for his burial was
brought.
Nevermore unto men did his harp yield a
strain,
1t vanished, but still haunts the hill an !
the plain;
With bogies and fairies it roams through
the Vale,
Ger bogs and DER brakes this sad, warn
ing WALL
Immortal the Muse, but bard lives by
bread,
A crust for him pow's worth a feast when
he's dead" -Rhys Wynne.

lives. One of his latest movements Is
the formation of the North Wales

object of which seems to be to facill-

the principal railway companies of the

with a series Of delightful excursions
in the district thrown in at a nominal
price The visitor is thus saved an in
finite account of worry. He buys his
ticket, and the Association" then does
