The most significant thing this
week, says Dun's Rerie'r, has been the
entire absence of the customary ner-
vous fright before or after the meet
ing of Congress, the Presidents mes
sage and the treasurer's report. No
one showed the least alarm, and no.
body could find occasion for any
Money and stock and grain markets
moved on exactly as if the govern
ment were automatic, certain to do or
say no more than the people had al
ready decided and expected, and so
the gradual betterment since October
continues. There is larger demand
for products in nearly all the great
industries, larger export demand for
foreign needs, a more healthy domes-
tic demand since seasonable weather
arrived, and a comforting conviction
that November business, the biggest
ever done in this country in any
month, was but step toward some
thing better.

This week THE AMERICAN opens a
new department, or, rather reopens
an old one under new name and on
\ broader plane. The department
will be known as the Mutual Benefit
Column, and as the successor of the
Farm and Home' column, which had
4 short but interesting existence a
few months ago, we trust it will not
make its bow to an unfriendly or in
different audience The Mutual
Benefit Column will be conducted by
a woman, who will be known to its
readers and contributors as "Aunt
Madgea. Without the consent of
s'Aunt Madge" and regardless of the
consequences, the editor of THE
AMERICAN will say right here that he
knows her to be woman of high in
tellect, broad optimistic ideas, strong
human sympathy, with a mind rich
with literary gems and a store house
of information and suggestions-in
abort, woman especially adapted for
the work she has undertaken, and
who will give to the column tone of
helpfulness and hopefulness, and
make it truly a column of mutual ben
eft to its readers.

Senator Morgan on Monday called
up his Nicaragua canal bill, which now
has exclusive ight of way in the SEN
ate until disposed Of He says he will
push it until it is passed. There is no
doubt of its passage as soon as vote
is reached. This bill makes this gov
eminent, Nicaragua and Costa Rica
the sole owners of the stock of the
Maritime canal company, which holds
concession TO build the canal, a ma
lority of the stock to be held by this
government, which is to guarantee
s100 9O0, geo Ia the bonds of the com
pany, to be used n the construction
of the canal. with the exception of
100000 to be paid to the present
stockholders Of the company for their
concession, and TO recompense them
for money they have already spent on
the canal. The President alone will
have authority TO issue these bonds,
and he may suspend their issue at any
time he deems it prudent to do SO.
There is strong lobby in Washington
working against this bill, both openly
and secretly. The secret work is the
most dangerous, because it is appar-
emily in the interest of building the
canal, and only against this particular
bill; in reality it is against the build
ing of the canal.

Fallen Oranges.

PASADENA, Cal, Nov. 2s, 1898.
To the Editor Of The american:
| have recently received a visit from
Rufus Hodg kins, of North Lsmoine. He
walked up to the front door OF my house
Nov. q, rang the bell, and as / answered
it he said: GLOW do you do, Mr.. Woos-
ter
/. | knew well enough ! had seen him
somewhere before, but for the moment |
could not locate him as that boy OF If
teen, whom, with other boys and girls,
| tried to guide in common school lore
many years ago. OF course it is not
strange that did not at once recognize
him, but | soon saw that be was the same
Rufus. His manner and speech betrayed
him.
We walked together in my orchard.
The first knew, he was picking up fallen
oranges OF last year s crop. lie was eating
them and exciaiming: Nv hat nice or
sngesln
We regard them as good for nothing,
but he assured me that they were as good
as most oranges one could buy in Els
worth at five cents each. | WAS aston
ished, and OF course 1 felt no little degree
OF pride for " hat we call our best oranges.
At this season of the year, We do not
eat oranges, for there is none ripe except
OF the worthless last years crop. And
Rufus says: "These are good enough"
About the first OF March we begin to eat
oranges, and then they are really nice. l
can eat and enjoy them for every meal.

A fairy story from Augusta was
printed in Boston paper last Sunday
to the effect that a movement has
started in opposition to the re-elec-
ton of Senator Hale, on the ground
that he represents neither New Eng
land nor Maine sentiment upon pres
ent conditions, nor is he in sympathy
with the President. A leading Maine
republican paper" is said to be the
vehicle through which an anti Hale
manifesto is to be sprung upon an un-
suspecting public.
All this is highly amusing to Maine
people, whose confidence in Mr.. Hale
is measured by more than quarter
of a century s retention in their ser
vice at Washington. At this critical
juncture in national affairs Maine is
not likely to deprive itself or the
country of the wisdom and ability OF a
public servant of Senator Hale's cal
ibre
Convictions and the courage of
them are characteristics of Names
congressman; they are qualities
which appeal with great force to the
people OF This State, and even if it is
true that Senator Hale does not rep
resent Maine sentiment in the matter
of the Il eaty with Spain, he has, dur
ing his long and useful career in Con-
gress, proved himself so safe a guide
in public affairs, that this difference
alone via influence no loyal repubi
can vote in the coming legislature
against his election.

Nothing is likely to stop the expan-
