FRANK PRAISE FROM THE
SOUTH
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
1t has been fortunate for the country
that we have had in this eventful year
as president a broad-minded. deliberate
and clear-headed man. No one can esti-
mate the harm that might have come 20
the country If the executive office had
been occupied by a rash or a weak-kneed
man, by a narrow partisan or a Sec
tionalist We honor President Mckinley
for his calm. prudent yet positive course
and for his broad and liberal comprehen-
sion of the truth that where the Re-
public is involved there should be no
North, no South, no East and no West.

The English government has given
another proof of its good will by al
lowing Dewey to dry dock his ships
at Hong Kong. In narrow interpre-
tation this is an infringement of neu-
trality, but legal hair lines ought not
to separate friends.

Merchant Marine
Must Be Rebuilt
From the Times-IIerald.

From the Times Herald.
SD HAT OUR war ships came out of
III the conflict with Spain practically
unscathed, after having destroyed
Ii almost the entire navy of our an
tagonist, is a fact that must
arouse the nation TO sudden realization
of its capabilities and resources as a
builder of ships. If We can build the Lest
ships in the world there is no reason
why we should not develop the greatest
merchant marine that floats the seas. If
we are about 10 enter upon new era Of
commercial eXpar as a result of re-
cent territorial cunquests, which give us
new highways TO the east aud new oppoi.
tunities in the West Indies, 1t is time to
seriously consider the problem of how to
divert our exports and imports to Am ar-
lean bottoms. In ether words the war
brings up for the consideration of con.
gress the possibility of restoring our mer-
chant marine.
Although we can beat the world In
nearly all lines of manufacture and can
undersell England in the products of iron
and steel il is admitted on all hands that
we are Handicapped by not having a mer-
| chant marine of our own of any consider
able tonnage. For a quarter of a CEN
tury or more we have been almost wholly
dependent upon Great Britain for the
lldllSpOI bl our ehpCTlS ana lIl-
ports. She has built vast merchant
marine for this purpose and now controls
over 80 per cent of the entire merchant
tonnage of the world. If our carrying
trade has to be turned over to foreign
| ers, Great Britain. as the greatest trad
ing nation, is entitled TO all she can get
But Great Britain is now cur most for
| midable rival in manufactures. She will
be our chief competitor for the trade
that is about to be opened up through our
new acquisitions in the Pacific. 1t is Il
wise national policy to allow our most
| formidable commercial competitor to car
| ry the bulk of the goods we are about TO
| send into these new markets?
Senator Elkn's bill, which is still pend
| ing in the senate, provides dscriminat-
ing duty of 10 per cent on imports by
| other than American vessels. But even
| II this measure should be adopted IL
would afford only partial relief, as our
| exports vastly exceed our imports. The
| Elkins bill would leave our export trade,
which now averages more than Sl00 900
| 600 month, according TO the govern
ment bureau OF statistics, open to the
competition of the nations. The question
| OF government aid for the DEVELOPMENT
| of our merchant marine should receive
| the early attention of congress. The end
or the first decade OF the twentieth CEN
| tury should see our flag flying from steel
merchant vessels in every port in the
| world.

MEAT FAMINE IN GERMANY.
The Bundesrath May Permit the Im-
 portaticn of Live Cattle.

Berlin, Oct 21.-The meat famins in Germany threatens to be so serious that the oundesrath, at its next sit ting, yln consider the adv stability of partial abrc cgation of the decrces for b:dEing the importation If live cattle The strength Of the Agrarian party is seen in the fact that the Nord Deutsch Zeitung, which is the official organ Of the government, is publishing articles maintaining that there is an abundant supply Of god meat at reasonble prices. These articles are grimly ans wered by such advertisements as the ChennitZer Neuesten Nachrichten prints offering prime fat dcg flesh, quite young
 Moreover, the cattle markets are no longer held at many places, ewing to the total absence of stock. Prosperous customers are paying 10 cents a pound above ordinary prices. Concur ently there is an enormous increase in the importation of cured pork, bacon, ham and sausage, which pay a duty of r marks per 100 Kilograms. Thesa i'm parts come chiefly from the United States.

A Big Meat Contract.

WASHINGTON, June % IT CommiSsary General Egan of the United States army today awarded to Swift & Co, of Chicago, the contract for sup ply the troops in Cuba with refrigerated beef in such qnan tlties and at such places as may be required.
 The contract isa big one and involves the shipment to that country of large cargoes of dressed meat to be used, not alone for soldiers. but also for feeding reconcentrados and Cuban troops. The govern ment guarantees the contract to last for not less than three months and tue beef Is to be furnished so !. wilI ne perfect " good and fit for use 72 hours after delivery. It IS impossi- ble to say just how much beef will be required, but safe to say before three months is up it will amount to 100000 pounds a day. This is on a basis of 100000 men, who will be furnished with a pound per day. For this purpose the de partment has secured two yes sells which will be fitted up with refligerating plants that will preserve meat in a fresh and wholesome manner.
