city Of London Is granted to any person he
receives a regular grant of citizenship on
parchment, which gives him ali the privi-
leges Of the particular guild or guilds maxi
ing the grant He Is a freeman of the city,

may be.
OF course these grants have long been

given the freedom of London ia a gold

honor with parchment IN an actual gold

The manner OF electing a lord mayor Is
as follows: on Michaeimas day-the 10Th
OF Septembcr-in each year the members
Of these companies or guilds assemble
In the guild hall and nominate the two
senior aldermen who have not already
held the Office OF lord mayor. These NOM
nations are submitted 10 the board OF
aldermen, who elect one of them as lord
mayor. usually the senior In office,
though once in a while there will be a
contest, when the senior alderman for
any reason is unpopular with the board.
But as a rule it is a cut-and-dried affair,
che seniors taking the Office In rotation
as the years pass.

The most ancient royal houses of Eu-
rope and Oldest peerages are but of yes
terday when compared with the chief
magistrdcy Of London. Before Edward
the Confessor reigned II was old. for the
city of London dates back to a time when
Britons still possessed the land. In that
long line there are many distinguished
and some historic names-men who well
knew how TO defend the rights and priv
ileges of the city. There was Sir william
Walworth, who arrested the rebel Wat
Tyler and there was Wilmington, whose
adventures are known to every child. Will
lam Beckford, the father of the author
of ''Vathek," withstood the encroachments
of royalty itself, and the still more famous
Jack Wilkes resisted Parliament.
For many years past attempts have
been made in Parliament to reform the
municipal government of the city, but
hitherto the few men who have control
of the enormous revenues Of the city have
been able to defeat them. II is a close
corporation, or rather a corporation of
corporations, and is altogether out Of line
with the modern forms of government.
1t Is an anomaly belonging to centuries
long past. Every other municipal govern
ment in England founded upon the same
principal has been reformed, but London
still withstands modern progress In this
respect.

change is not soon brought about" said
s. T. Welman of Cleveland, o., after a
recent trip into the steel manufacturing
districts of Wales. MIR, Wellman Is wide
ly known as one of the heaviest steel
operators In the United States and his
remarks gained wide attention from the
English press, numbers of which have
long seen the impending danger, and have
argued that an entirely new sytem of com
mercial training be put into effect by bust
ness concerns throughout the United King
dom.
In the meantime, western wares are
steadily gaining. The Carnegie steel prod
ucts from Pittsburg, are commanding
some of the heaviest contracts In this
country, and even castiron from America
is ahead in this market Recently the
city of Glasgow opened competitive bids
on large order for water pipe, and the
lowest figures were those of a Pennsyl-
vanIa iron firm; but so great was the OPP
position to letting the order go out Of
the country that all of the bids were
thrown out on an alleged technicality.
Quotations were again advertised for. and
once more Pennsylvania was the lowest
bidder. 1t remains to be seen If the
Americans will be allowed to fill the order,

London, Nov 5.-England is being in

1t is a commercial campaign. and this
country is just now enjoying a number of
new and notable Illustrations of the in

an upheaval among the ancient trade ira
ditions Of Great Britain as the average

From ignoring the United States in the

II is estimated that $10O00O000 in good
English gold goes annually TO America, to
the loss of Great Britain. So severe have
been the inroads upon home made goods
in many departments of trade by the rap
idly rising American and other foreign
competition, that English manufacturers
in some lines are displaying large adver-
tisements, appealing TO the patriotism Of
the people to support home Industries.
Nor is this loss of prestige alone felt in
the regular run of trade. The most talked

DO 1T YOURSELF.

You can tell just as well as a physician
whether your kidneys are diseased or
healthy. The way to do is to take a bottle
or glass lumber and I'LL it with urine. If
there is a sediment-a powder-like sub
stance-at the bottom after standing day
and night there is something wrong with
the kidneys. Another sure sign of disease
is desire TO urinate often, and still an
other sign is pain in the back. If urine
stains linen, there is no doubt that the
kidneys are affected
Any and all diseases of the kidneys, liver
bladder ana of the urinary passages and
constipation of the bowels are cured by
DR.. David Kennedys Favorite Remedy
There is no question about lis being the
best and surest medicine in the world for
such troubles. 1t quickly relieves and
cures inability TO hold urine, and people,
young or old, who take it are not COM
PEELED to get up a number of times dur
ing the night. For putting an end TO that
Scalding pain experienced in passing
urine, nothing is so good as DR.. David
kennedy's Favorite Remedy. IL corrects
the bad effects of whisky and beer; is
pleasant to the taste, and does not seem
to be medicine at all. Diseases of the kid
Leys and bladder often require the use or

prove fatal. 1t is sold for one dollar a bot

Invasion by American Cattle.
So many American cattle come to the
Islands that they must be Disseminated
against by Jaw for the protection of the
English stock raisers. II is provided that
they shall be slaughtered at the port of
entry within ten days from arrival. Amer
fcan cattle thus have not sufficient time
to recover from their long sea trip and
the rundown condition engendered by con-
finement on ship. Yet the number of
beeves arriving Is steadily increasing in
spite of these handicaps. Detford, near
London, Liverpool and Glasgow are the
ports of cattle entry, where rigid govern
ment inspectors are stationed. George
Gould of New York contemplates putting
a new line of cattle ships between New
Orleans and Southampton, delivering south
ern and western cattle into the English
markets by a practically all-water route
to lessen the present shipping expenses.

for English meats with their customers,
who rarely know the difference. The
cheaper grade of American side meat costs
but three pence a pound, while Irish and
other choice home grown bacons command
