in prominence Of thousands Of men,
political meteors shooting athwart the
sky to sink into obscurity in
the undistinguished mass. He must
have noted the wrecks strewn
along the path Of all parties,
OF men who had gone into politics with
nigh hopes, high aims, serving their
public we'll, only to meet sooner or
later, and usually sooner, the men who
were shrewder and more capable than
they and who displaced them In the
tickle affections. of, their constituents.
He must have known that these were
the immutable conditions Of the career
upon which he deliberately entered.
True, he may have fancied that he
could control the conditions Indefinite
ly and maintain himself, but ADLER men
than he had been as confident and
been unhorsed:' Having taken the
chances he has no ground for COM
plant Of the consequences.
But there Is reason why there Is no
gratitude in politics, of the prevalent
kind called practical It works not
with so fragile a motor. It proceeds
always on the theory Of compensations.
1t adjusts rewards to service with all
the eXactness an inexact art can mus
ter. 1t was not from a sense Of graft
tude that Mr.. Dunnell, while a repre-
sentative, secured the appointment of
as many Of his constituents to public
Office as his remarkable industry and
persistence could secure. He was mere
ly paying them for the work they had
done in securing for him his place. He
adjusted the grade Of place to the
grade Of work, the bigger fellows who
controlled county delegations got the
best places; the little fellows who ran
primaries took the slighter places. Nor
did these men at all regard the places
given them as gifts of gratitude from
the chief. They had no such senti-
mental notions. They were pay for
work done and were always regarded
as inadequate to the service rendered.
There were always a large number who
got no pay at all and were Jealous of
those who were paid and angry with
the man who failed them. They be-
came numerous enough after a time,
as they always will under the spoils
system, to unhorse their congressman.
As places are given for work, it fol-
lows that when a man can no longer
work there is no use for him in poll
tics. That Is simply applying good
business methods. There is an equiv
alency Of compensation given for serv-
ice rendered that squares the equation
and leaves nothing due from or to
either party. There is no surplus to
be entered in the accounts as graft
tude," subject to future drafts. There
is no ingratitude in the refusal of Mr..
Mckinley to give Mr.. Dunnell some
thing for nothing; the something's must
go to the Goodnows whose work must
be paid for. The Herald is mistaken
in attaching the ethics of private life
to politics.

DR.. Salmon believes that with expert
ence a better quality Of serum can be
prepared, and he has no doubt that
this percentage can be maintained
hereafter.
referring to this report, Secretary
Wilson remarked that undoubtedly the
results reported by DR.. Salmon were
most encouraging to hog raisers. The
cost Of the serum now, said the secre-
tary, is but 10 cents per head Of ami
mails treated, and doubtless in course
CT time this light cost may be still fur
Their reduced. 1T is, in my opinion"
said the secretary, "of the utmost i'm
portance that this serum, for the next
year at least. be made by the bureau
under our own supervision and dis
tributed in large quantities in order to
demonstrate it's efficacy upon a more
extended situation.
1T is absolutely necessary that during
the experimental stages serum of IN
doubted quality be used. Unless the
hos growers can obtain it from this
department. they will be forced to de-
u-ho no
private sources, and owing to the
novelty of this product not only will
discouragingly exorbitant prices be
charged for it, but in many cases in
ferior products may be offered This
would preclude the possibility of MAX
ing satisfactory test on a widely ex-
tended scale. l propose to ask congress
to provide an appropriation necessary
to enable this department to furnish
100000 doses of serum during the next
year, and to make a considerable por-
ton of the appropriation Immediately
available. 1t seems from DR.. Salmon's
report that it takes three or four
months to put a horse or cow in con-
dition to supply the serum, consequent
ly the work upon an extended scale
must be undertaken at once
The losses from hog cholera are so
enormous and have weighed so heavily
for years upon our farmers that | can
not imagine that congress will for q
moment hesitate to make the appro-
priations necessary to carry on this
work thoroughly. Indeed, apart from
the great stake the farmers have in
this matter, to refuse to provide for a
thorough test of this remedy now
would be. indeed penny-wise and
pound foolish; for the discovery of this
serum has involved already many years
OF work and very large sum of
money. 1t would be a great mistake.
now that so great a discovery seems
to have been made, not to finish the
work by giving it thorough and ex-
ter:siYe test"

"THE INGRATITUDE OF POLTTI-
CTANSo

The Winona Herald takes the rejec-
ton of the application of Mark H. Dun
nell for some place under this admin
istration as a text for a homily on the
ingratitude Of politicians. 1t descants
upon the service of Mr.. Dunnell to his
party; his ability as a statesman; the
position Of influence he achieved in
congress; his relations with the present
president, for years his sassociate in
congress; their relative degree of in
fluence while members Of the house.
and deduces from the ignoring Of Mr..
Dunne1l the conclusion that politicians
are insensible to claims upon their
gratitude. The ungratefulness of re-
publics long ago became byword, and
politicians run republics. If this is
the normal condition, there is no cause
for complaint by the victims nor occa-
sion for sentimental lament for the
non-eXistence of a virtue that cannot
find life because Of inherent and in
eradicable conditions. The Klondiker
might as we'll bemoan the disappear

months.
We are not aware that Mr.. Dunnell
is lamenting the ingratitude Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. The Heralds article
is not inspired by any complaint of
his so far as we are aware. It would
come with i'll grace from him, for he
was a politician of politicians. He must
have known the conditions of that vo-
cation when he entered upon it over
twenty years ago. He must have
known from personal observation that
nothing is so short-lived as the ex-
altation of man by politics. He must
have witnessed the brfS appearance

one of the sorriest farces ever put into
the statute books. It was perverted
into sham and a fraud after there

other means Of support, and inability
to perform it, with mere physical in

Under 1t thousands Of men with indie

limitation Of the rate to s12 month,

HOW TO MAKE MARKETS.

He who from motives Of curiosity or
Information, goes through those
monthly publications of the bureau of
commerce of the department of state
cannot fail to have noticed the fire.
qUency with which the gentlemen who
enjoy the salaries and perquisites of
the several hundred consulates and
commercial agencies Of the United
States in foreign parts reiterate their
advice to the manufacturers Of this
country of the means they must use,
the methods they mist learn and adopt
If they would open the oyster of for
eign markets. They are told that they
must send their rep esentatives abroad
with samples Of their products; that
they must learn local customs and
needs just as they have to learn them
at home. They are told that they must
hustle for business just as they have
to at home. Our consul at Furth, in
Bavaria, lectures them roundly in the
December number. American manu-
facturers expect that Baierns will be
able to read English circulars and cat
alogues when they verstehe NIGHT Elm
wort of our polyglot tongue. And he
goes patiently over the old round OF
counsel.
Our manufacturers cannot be accused
of dizziness in matters that concern
their interests. If any one suspects
them of it, he will be convinced to the
contrary by a cursOry reading into the
huge volumes of the hearings before
every ways and means committee that
is tinkering the tariff. But in this mat
ter of foreign markets they are slow to
take the hint given by the department
of agriculture. They cannot have
failed to note the energetic measures
taken by the present incumbent of that
department in opening a market in
England for the butter and cheese of
our farms and factories. Why should
not the manufacturers have a depart
ment of mechanics and manufactures,
with a secretary and an annual ap-
quantities of their wares and ship them
to possible markets in charge of super
cargoss. expert in their use, who could
make plain to the stupid foreigner the
superior merits of our goods? If tons
and tons OF butter can be properly
bought and sent abroad at public
expense, and peddled out among deal
ers by public agents, why should not
ccttons and woolens. boots and shoes,
farm implements and bicycles, wagons
and plows, and the whole list of our
manufactures be also bought up by the
secretary of the department Of mechan-
les and manufactures and sent with a
corps of governmental commercial
travellers. learned in foreign Ian
guage to England and Europe to open
markets there for them? Why Is not
the one just as proper use Of govern
ment as the other? Why should our
amply protected and fostered farmers
be favored with foreign market open
er and our poor manufacturers be left,
to fry in their own fat? They have
now their Home Market club; why not
a Foreign Market club? They have
now their ways and means committee
for sealing up the home market; why
not have their foreign relations COM
mittee to break the seals on foreign
markets? If the farmers are entitled
to department of agriculture, why
should not our manufacturers have. a
department Of mechanics and manufac-
lures?
