million vacant lots upon which the
weeds have pre-empted claims for

A MATRIMONIAL MIX.

From the Detroit Free Press.
zone winter there was contagion
of matrimony in our school district"

is still young at 20. "We were a mer-
ry party of young people, had social
circle of our own and paired off as
was natural under the circumstances.
was the first one to give out that
was engaged. Soon the returns began
to come in from the other boys, and
within month there was seven of us
committed to marry. Some one, in
spirit of fun, suggested that we make
one grand roundup of the affair and
have a septenary wedding. The idea
took and was adopted, because it did
away with the rivalry incident to
such events, and was alike satisfactory
to all parties concerned. At the APP
pointed hour we all appeared at the
office of an eccentric old justice of the
peace, who was jolly soul and a
great friend of the young folks. We
had given him no warning, but he ac
,cepted the situation as calmly as
though he made speciality of uniting
people in blocks of fourteen.
"'Stan' up there he said promptly.

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The fostering of the American Ma
rine through determinations in favor
of American ships is subject that
is attracting the attention of the real
statesman of the country The course
of Great Britain in building up her
own marine is cited and the argument
is not controverted. Senator Elkins,
of West Virginia has brought the mat
to the attention of Congress in his
bill, levying ten per cent. duty on all
goods that reach this country in ships
other than American. This means ten
per cent. ON all goods that are on the
free list of the new tariff, and ten per
cent. added to the duties specified,
and this additional ten per cent. lowed
on the goods that are brought over in
other than United States vessels. This
bill is sure to receive attention in Con.
gress at its next session. There is no
matter of greater importance to our
trade. Not only the carrying business
of the great highway of the seas, the
ocean, is in the hands of the foreign
ers, but foreigners too largely con-
troll the carrying trade of our inland
lakes and all our immense stretch of
coast. 1t is only three years since
British member of Parliament sad
that by our refusal to pay S5,000,OOO a
year for 80 years to our own shippers
we had paid in those same 80 years.
So, 900, 100000 to foreign ship own
ers in freights. Our present payments
to foreign vessels carrying our own
products to other lands average
100000 day. The system of mail
subsidies, assurances, classifications
and other methods adopted by Great
Britain has enabled the ship masters
of that country to drive our own ships
from the highway of the seas. Some
attention has of late been given TO our
inland water and coast trade, and as
a result this branch of American wa
ter carriage is greatly improved, and
now the carrying capacity of our
coastwise and inland water vessels
approximates 100000 tons. What
has been done in the one direction can
be accomplished by the other. The.
Elkins bill asks nothing of Congress
in the way of funds or subsidies, ii
places a premium on the carrying
trade of our own ships and by that
premium invites American capital
and brains to enter into the business
of that trade and the creation of a
merchant marine of our own. The
means is simple and will be crowned
with success if adopted.

1t is not SO much that the young
men have left the farms and gone into
the mills,as that the mills have had to
give way to foreign rivals and the
mill hands were cut off, that is the
matter with the country. There is Ia
Dor enuogh for the farms and mills
both, and there will be no lack of it
as soon as wages are high enough 10
command attention. There has not
been the same rise in wages as there
has been in the profits of speculative
movements and the average young
man wants share in the best paying
thing that is going.

Spain is just as foolish as ever, on
ly little more so. Her most conser-
vative leaders declare in favor of the
Weyler method as the only possible
one and there will be fight to retain
him at the head of the army in Gu
ba. The most distinguished of the
Liberal leaders says that America has
barely 25,0OOO00 people, widely scat
tered, and that an army of $4,000
Spaniards could march from Boston to
San Francisco in two weeks. 1t is true
that the Spanish troops in Cuba have
been well trained in the art of running
but it is doubtful if even
they could make forced
march of IA consecutive days at the
rate of 200 miles day. Sagasta was
not very sagacious when he made that
break. Let Weyler stay. There will
be an end even to him ere long.

The time is coming when the loca-

old maps and the terms of that boun-

Great Britain and Russia in 1925 leave
no doubt that the Klondike gold field
is on Caladian soil, and it leaves no
doubt that the only feasible way of
reaching that field is over American
ground. 1t is time that the two gov
ernments accurately established the
