other place where from high hill an ex-
celent view OF the river and Dresden is
obtained. Only an hours ride from
Dresden brings you into Saxon Switzer-
land where the scenery is almost equalto
that of Colorado. At Bastei the king
has hunting lodge and the great rocks
rise upon all sides like sentinel towers.
In the widest part of these natural
towers the king has built a magnificent
stone bridge which must have cost
thousands of dollars. When one sees the
costly stations of the railroads and such
architecture as the bridge at Bastel his
respect for royalty increases, for none OF
these structures could ever have been
built except from the funds OF the royal
treasury. The view from the summit OF
the Bastei will long remain in my men,
DRY, the winding river, the double track
road following it's winnings, the Saxon
fort in the distance which was never
captured in all the wars which preceded
these peaceful days, and still farther

Bohemia, one of the Austrian kingdoms.

Folly Again.

Kentucky joined the United States
105 years ago in 1892. 1t has some
peculiar people in common with
some other states. The toll gate"
raiders have been making things
lively there of late, From interior
ence with matters controlled by
government they have now under
taken to regulate private business
interests. Having destroyed the toll
gates they have posted notices that
rich farmers must grow no more
tobacco, at their peril. 1t is also
reported that well-known miller
has been notified to sell no more
flour above 81 per barrel. How does
this kind of statecrait compare with
Altgeldism, Debsism and the recent
attempts in Illinois to handicap the
department store? The measures are
different, but the animus is the same
in all similar cases.

South American Markets.

A committee Of representative bust
ness men from the United States,
went out last season to investigate
trade conditions in South American
lands. Their report just issued is an
exhaustive one, and tells the Ameri-
can people just what their consuls
abroad have reported TO the state
department at Washington again
and again. The committee reasserts
and with emphasis, the chief Of all
reasons why the people of the United
States have so little trade with the
countries south OF them. Little or
no effort is made to get that trade,
which in Mr.. Baine's time was
worth $600,oo0,o00 per year, The
committee are also of opinion that a
very large proportion of the goods
now imported into South America
from European countries can readily
be duplicated, both in price andqual.

Literary Notes.

The May issue of Godey's Magazine is
notable Tor many special articles OF
timely interest. The leading contribu-
ton is Washington Favorites," by
Carolyn Hasted, and gives a brief
sketch of the prominent society ladies OF
the capital. The photographs which
accompany the article are very attrac-
tive.
"a Eulogy of the Vaudeville" covers
the recent developments which have
marked the dramatic stage and calls
attention to much that is worth con-
sidering. The article is illustrated with
beautiful pictures of prominent actors,
and is very timely.
The May number of McClure's Maya

The Grant Memorial.

New York, April 81, 1897 The great
Grant day came in with rude nor
wester, passed with waving banners, the
roar of cannon, the march of 60, 900 men,
the salutes Of warships a mighty parade
of merchant vessels, the singing of a
thousand choristers, the invocation OF
Protestant bishop, the benedictlon of an
archbishop of the church of Rome, the
greetings of ambassadors and ministers
from foreign rulers and governments,
speeches from accomplished orators, the
blaring of a hundred bands the applause
ofcongress, which came almost in body
and was for once unanimously on good
behavior delegations of almost every
sort from almost every part ofthe Union,
the president of the United States being
the central figure and the unlocking
throngs numbering million people.
The mausoIeum is dedicated 1t is
also now the property OF the city of New
York the presentation having been duly
made by oratory and the transfer of keys
and deeds.
1t was celebration, for, although the
occasion was the dedication of a tomb,
there was nowhere a mournful note.
Today the country saw, as it has not
hitherto seen, the finest evidence of the
republics fighting strength, the strength
that makes for peace and order. Today
the republic was on parade. Never, since
the civil war, has there been such splen-
did massing of American troops, national
and state.
1t was a national day. Southern
troops marched with northern regiments
confederate veterans t4,idged the six-milt
route with army men, and shared the
cheers OF the multitude. The widow o
Jefferson Davis and the widow of Gen
Grant met and saw all that was being
done in the common cause of natona
honor. The republican president anC
the democratic ex-president passeC
through the streets, stood side by side OF
the same platform, and impartial!
shared the popular ovation.
Persons with passion for fgurin'
these affairs say that the participants il
today's parade, and the spectator
thereof have spent $5,000,000 in New
York. Perhaps they spent $40, 100000

recipients of the tribute?
In many specific ways the parade wa

A Lull in the War.

After a week of uncommonly hard
fighting there is lull in the Greco
Turkish war. 1t affords opportu-
nitv for a brief review OF what has
been done. Both armies have fought
with signal valor. 1t was known
the Turks would do So They never
have done otherwise, when WELDON
manded. But Greek valor was an
unknown quantity 1t had not been
put to the test for sixty years and
more. Today it is amply vindicated.
Reveni Pass and Gritzovali arc
worthy possessions Ct a race that IN
herits memories of Thermopyl9 ard
and Marathon. If they are beaten,
they are beaten with all the honors
Of heroic war.
And they are beaten, for the time
1t is evident that they fled from
Larissa and its outposts because they
were not strongenOugh to hold them.
The Turks had the advantage OF po-
sition, outnumbored them two to
one, and were far better armed. That
tells the whole story. How great
the contrast in size between the
belligerents is may again well be re-
called. In infantry the regular army
of the Greeks numbered only 10000
at the outbreak of the war; that OF
the Turks 255,00 In cavalry,
which seems to have played the most
important part in the operations OF
Saturday, the Greeks had three regl-
ments only, of / $50 men, while the
Turks had more than $4,000 men
In artillery the Greeks had 100 guns
and the Turks 1856. Six to one
twenty-eight to one and eleven to
one were hopeless odds.
The Greeks declare they will make
another stand at Pharsalos, and ex'
press some confidence Of defending
that line more successfully than that
OF Larissa. Perhaps. The position
does not seem to be as strong as the
the one they have abandoned. There
is no doubt, however, that they will
fight bravely there, and if beaten will
continue the struggle until the very
end is reached. Their feet may yet
make some diversion in their favor
But there is little ground for hope
that the tide of war will actually bt
turned, except by Intervention from
outside. That is now talked Of The
great powers are said to be consider
ing it. They may well do so. Thei
concert has been failure, and worse
thus far. it will now save Greco,
from Turkish aggression, it may il
measure redeem itself in the eyes o
the world.

A Question.

The publisher of a newspaper has
one thing to sell and one thing to
rent. He has the newspaper to sell
and the space in his columns to rent.
Can anyone inform us why he should
be expected to give away either one
or the other? He can il he chooses,
and he does, as a matter of fact,
furnish great deal OF space rent free.
But it does not follow that he ought
to be expected to do so. 1t ought to
be recognized as contribution,
exactly as would be the giving away
of sugar or coffee by a grocer. But,
strange to say, it is not looked upon
in that light at all, yet everybody
knows that the existence of news
paper depends upon the rent of it,
space and the sale OF the paper, as g
merchant'ssucces depends on selling
his goods instead of giving then
away The Copy Hook.

More than 100000 people in
