American Goods in France.

Walter T. Griffin, commercial agent
at Limoges, calls the attention of Amer
lean hatters to the trade opportunities
in France. British manufacturers are
at present supplying the large depart
ment stores in Paris and throughout
the provinces. 1t is a significant fact
that certain French dealers facilitate
their trade by putting fictitious names
in the hats with New York as
the address of the maker. Mr.. Griffin
thinks that such action shows that
American manufacturers exporting to
European countries should have their
trademarks registered, and urges them
to study the French market.
The disastrous experience Of the pre-
served meat establishments set up in
France to run out the American brands
has again brought the American article
into demand. The French houses, hav-
ing neither the facilities nor the ex-
perience of the American factories. I'M
dertook to furnish goods to the army.
AS consequence, a large number of
soldiers Of the Tours barracks were
poisoned by the meats, and not a few
Of them have died Hence the sudden
demand, not only for American canned
meats, but for dried, canned and pre-
served fruits.
Another American achievement upon
which the French are looking with
mingled feelings Of longing and envy is
the precision Of her machinery. In view
of the fact that we are paying $500, OOO.-
coo into the pockets Of foreigners for
shipping, the following statement. made
by FTenchman, is interesting. While
speaking of the late war, he said:
America has astonished the word with tho
accuracy Of her implements and machinery.
her steel ships resist and endure better than
those OF other and older countries Her in
trlcate machinery does not get out of order
so quickly, and stands crucial tests far be-
yond the power of European apparatus: and
there are fewer failures because there are
fewer defects; this is due to her implements

ieatwoIe and the Deadly Breach.

While the Republican organs keep
grinding away at the old tune that
there is no danger in any Of the con-
gressiOnal districts of the state, with
the exception of the Sixth and Seventh,
there comes out of the Third district
the assurance that Joel Heatwole's seat
in congress is in quite as much danger
as is that of the present member from
the Seventh. Heatwole's seat is jeopar-
died to a great extent by the negli-
gence Of his own party managers.
While Mr.. Heatwole was gaining fame
as the handsomest man in the house he
should have seen to it that the vote
which was so largely instrumental in
bringing about his election two years
and four years ago was kept on the
voting lists by being naturalized
An inquiry into the state of the vote
in the district shows that HeatWole
was strong in the Scandinavian settle
ments. This condition was the result
of the care that was given to this very
large voting element by the local Re-
publican leaders. In those districts the
county officials considered themselves
safe enough, and they made no effort to
get the vote they d5o
that they were safe in any event, and
they did not propose to pay for the nat
uralization of vote that they did not
deem essential to local success. The
voters themselves do not appear to
have had sufficient Republican enthusi-
asm to pay for second papers in order
to secure their right to vote, and in the
district there are some thousands of
Scandinavian residents who will not be
able to cast their ballots under the new
constitutional provision.
These same conditions do not obtain
in other districts where the foreign
born is a large element. The German
born citizens have been in the state for
many years, and there is no consider
able proportion of their numbers dis
franchised by the constitutional
amendment. Only the newly arrived
SCanGiravians are left outside of the
franchise limit, and it has come home
to HeatWoles managers that a serious
and almost certainly fatal mistake was
made The Third district is as certain
ly lost to the Republicans as is the
Seventh or the Sixth.

Chief Cook Given Permission to At
tend the Convention OF Chiefs
AT st. Louis Next Week.

The fire board met last evening and
concluded that it would be very de-
sirable thing for Chief Cook to be pres
ent at the convention Of fire chiefs that
is to be held at st. Louis next week,
and they authorized him to go and pay
his own expenses. Aside from settling
this matter the board did little beyond
relnstatlng in the department two men
who resigned several years ago--R. II.
Johnston and r. A. Young. The men
had been engaged in the fire service for
several years and gave up the life be
cause they thought they could do better
fOr themselves. They did nOt do as We'll
as they expected and they came to the
board backed by several Endorsements
from members Of the city council. They
were put on the rolls as new men and
must start at the bottom of the lad
der which they had previously climbed.
The department is in funds and there
was some discussion as to the spend
Ing Of some money Tor the repairing OF
several of the stations. 1t was G@Cid
ed that the interior Of the stables at
the central station should 10 rebuilt,
| but action was deferred until the
amount of money avaiia bic for the pur-
pose can be ascertained when the &C.
| tOber taxes are collected. The secre-
tary's report shows that the depart
ment has on hand $46, 566-the comp
troller's ngureS are $43 8G-rhe usual
difference in the manner Of counting
the funds from different points Of view
The annual inspection of the depart
ment was deferred until the return of
the chief from St. Louis.
Chief Cook was instructed to assign
two men to duty at Market hall dur
ing the industrial exhibition and the
following transfers were made:
John Sexton, from Hook and Ladder
No. to Engine No. 5; William Halter,
from Chemical No. 6 to Hook and Lad
der No. 3; Thomas Blake, from Hose
No to Chemical No. 6; E. A. Gherke,
from Engine No. to Hose No. /; Joseph

CINE No. 8.
A. J. Moshek was appointed and as
signed to Engine No. 10, and the resig-
nation of Ed WALL driver of Engine No.
5, was accepted. The secretary was in
structed to advertise for bids on 5000
bushels of oats, and the meeting ad-
journed.

Attorney General Childs has COM

Churches and Their Work.

The mission being held at st. Jose2h's
church is a success beyond all expectation.
Last evening thousand ladies were present
to hear Father Robert deliver a powerful
lecture on the evil of SIN. The seating ca

most, but 200 chairs have been ordered to
accommodate the daily increasing numbers
who are anxious to hear the Word of God.
A great many non-Catholics were present
last evening. The object of the mission is
to afford all an opportunity to receive the
sacramento and the special blessings which
accompany the advent Of missionary fathers.

Commanding Public Attention.

Whenever man has something good to say
he generally gets a chance to say it in the
United States, because the newspapers are on
the alert for men with original ideas and eX
pressions. Let a man be an important one
in any of the great walks of life, in finance,
in business, in politics, in religion-it mat
tiers not what-and the people are glad to read
what he has to say, to ponder over and dis
cuss and assimilate It, Such man is James
]. Hill, Of the Great Northern railroad, whose
views we discussed recently at length in these
columns. That interview with Mr. Hill on the
subject of lack of ships in which to carry the
merchandise offering to his railroad has been
quoted in all parts of the United States. Some
of the comments favorable others are I'M
favorable, but wherever the subject impresses
a reader who has never before been i'm
pressed with it, in that man we have a new ad-
vocate for a true blue American merchant
marine.
The glamor Of the American flag in the
distant seas of the world, floating from the
peaks and mast-heads and taffrails of all
types of vessels, the romance of the sea, the
deeds Of valor of the past on that mobile
element, the adventures and the glories of to-
day a1oat, all combine to create a picture
upon which the average human being cannot
look without being warmed up and enthused.
Let our men in the public eye therefore
note what is popular; let them take notice
that the people gladly read of adventures, the
success and the failures afloat that the SUBJ
tect is an attractive one, and then present il
to them in the manner they will be pleased
with and they will find that their popularity
will increase and what they say will be
more read and more thought about.-Seaboard.
