letter to the Galveston News to deny the assertions of MT. Bailey and his minority associates, that policy of territorial ex- pansion is violation of the spirit and tra- ditons of the democratic party. He main tains that it is the most foolish and of fensive form of suicide for the democracy to arrny itself against the people of the United States, "who are for the expansion of their territorial Jurisdiction" He warns the Texans that no resolution condemning imperialism can prevent the acquisition of Porto Rico and the control of Cuba by the United States as a result of the pres- eft t'war with Spain. He maintains that it is due to the democratic party that public opinion is fast making obsolete the doctrine of isolation; that if the opponents of de- mocracy had been listened to, the nation would still be bounded on the south by the Spanish territory of Florida, and on the west by the upper Mississippi.
 If the democratic party is to have a fu- ture, 1t is to be attained only by maintain ing its best traditions. When a political organization sinks to such a condition that 1t has nothing positive to urge, no ideal to be sought, but lives only to oppose what otheres propose, its lease of life is short, and the sooner 1t goes under the ground the better for the atmosphere. Of all the millions of Americans, only few have been proof against the influences G the war. The struggle in behalf of human liberty has re- viyed the patriotic sentiments, given to the

THE ONE HAPPY DAY FOR BISMARCK

Berlin Cable to the New York Herald.
 Professor von Lenbach- is eloquent with anecdotes concerning his fdolized dead friend. He was here on the occasion of Prince Bismarck's eighteth birthday, three years ago, and on parting told the prince he felt sure he had many happy years yet before him.
 My dear Lenbach," Bismarck replied. ''the first eighty years of a mans life are always the happiest."
 More recently still, last year, in saying goodbye, Prof. von Lenbach again ex- pressed the hope that his friend would see still some happy days. To this prince Bis- marck replied:
 "There is only one happy day left for me; it is the one on which I shall not wake up again."
 Prince Bismarck lived exactly within a day of seeing 1000 months.

iards would submit to the terms of peace laid down by our administration, and the even more important indicatiops that the spring wheat crop was not damaged, and that there had been much exaggeration in the reports of reduction of the corn yield.
 The Recent Rains
 The recent rains in the west had dons much to dissipate the unfavorable notions on those matters and the week was com pleted by the exceptionally favorable char acter of the government crop report pub lished on Wednesday last The belief that railroad traffic and earnings in the west would be on a par with those of the past years has made the grangers the feat ure of the market. This reduced the spec ulative attention paid to the industrials and caused slight declines in the already active speculatives of that class On the other hand the activity of the general mar ket and the bullish tone and temper have facilitated movements in minor stocks and neglected parts of the list while the in- evitable accompaniments of a bull mar ket reports of various railroad combina- tionS and of increases of dividends-have not been lacking. Nor has the bond de- partment been neglected. The investment buying is large and is supplemented by more or less speculation in bonds. Govern ments were strong though the old issues receded fractionally on realizing, but the new per cent. war bonds, after a slight reaction, recovered to 1C5b.
 The railroad bond list has been strong and active, new records having been made in many issues.

DUN'S WEEKLY
 REVIEW OF TRADE
 sA Prospect of Peace Has Had Curious Effect on Business. UNUSUAL ORDERS PLACED Since Spain Asked For Our Terms to Conclude the War.
UNUSUAL ORDERS PLACED
CROP PROSPECTS ENCOURAGING
Rarely Has the Financial Outlook Been So Nearly Unclouded-Wheat Will Rule Lower During the Coming
 Year-Flurry in Cotton.

New York, Aug. 12.-R. G. Dun & Co. weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
 Prospects of peace have had curious influence on business contracts not quite explainaable on common sense grounds. Nobody really feared disaster, or exhaus- tion of national resources, and nobody feared that anybody else was afraid of either. Yet orders unusual in number and size have been placed since Spain asked for peace. In some industries the gains have been large for about two weeks, while in some textile manufactures it has been appearing this week, but involves considerable increase in the working force
 Crop prospects are on the whole more encouraging
 Money markets show no sign of possible disturbance; securities are stronger, and there is no harmful speculation in stocks or products. Rarely has the financial out look been more nearly uncouded
 While wheat is 4c higher for the week, there is less doubt than week ago that it will rule lower during the coming year. A slight furry in cotton lifted the price a sixteenth on Tuesday, but it dropped again the next day.
 Iron and Steel
 The iron and steel trade fully supports differences drawn from recent events. The demand for steel is so heavy that some of the biggest concerns have been buying, one taking 40000 tons, advancing the price at Pittsburg from $14.50 to $l525, which was at last refused. Bessemer pig is steady. Rails have been advanced by eastern mak- CTS to SIS per ton, the makers of structural beams have advanced the price $1 per ton, and makers of merchant pipe have ad- vanced the price per cent. while plate makers are crowded to the point of refus- ing orders.
 Textile works are awakening, and the demand for woolen goods is now much bet ter, although not yet extensive enough to warrant paying the prices asked for new wool and nearly all of the buying has been of old stock.
 The aggregate sales at the three chief markets have been only 5,423, 700 pounds for the week, about a third of the sales in the same week of 1897, while in 1892 for the corresponding Yeel-sales -xere--7,1s eoo
 The demand for cotton goods is little better as to staples and fairly good for print cloths, prints and ginghams and yet probably does not suffice to cover the cur rent output

MODERN ARMY SURGERY.

For Good Reasons the W ork of the Surgeon
Begins When Wounded Reach Hospital.
There seems TO be msapprehen-
sion on the part OF a good many per-
sons as to the modern medical service
of the army" said an army surgeon
who had been detailed for the Porto
Rico campaign. There is no sort of
doubt that there is general misun-
derstanding of what is required of
surgeon in time of battle. Many COM
plants have been made of lack of
prompt surgical attention to the
wounded at Santiago and an absence
of system. 1t is asserted that there
were not enough. if any, litter bearers,
except the Red Cross volunteers. and
few, if any. ambulances; that the
wounded had to make their way unaid-
ed to the rear or else be carried by
able bodied comrades who were needed
in the ranks. There may be truth in
these charges. but if there is the blame
should not be laid on the medical au-
thorities in Washington Nothing
could be better than the system de-
vised by them, and if there was failure
at Santiago the surgical staff there
must be held to account. For the
| division hospital per cent, of the en-
| listed force is detailed The able
| bodied men thus taken from the ranks
are subjected to severe discipline. are
| thoroughly drilled and have absolute
and entire charge of the wounded from
the moment they fall until they pass
| into the hands of the surgeons in the
hospital. These men are provided with
stretchers and are expected to keep
close on the heels of the advancing
| line to pick up the wounded.
The complaint that there was no
surgical attention on the field is based
on misunderstanding. For good rea-
sons the work of the surgeon does not
begin until the wounded are brought TO
the hospital This hospital must be
outside the range OF bullets and shells
and far enough in the rear to he secure
against demolition or injury in mo-
mentary retreat

They Look Very Much Like Belt for

Although the sign on the card reads
"Leather Neckties" there is nothing
about these natty little affairs to sug-
gest tie On the contrary, they look
very much like leather belt for dolly's
waist They are, in fact, miniature
belts, made on exactly the same style,
with the harness buckles and side
straps complete. They are Of black
patent leather, the buckles covered with
the same, or of white morocco finish,
with nickel buckle. They match the
waist belts in every particular, and
might be called neck belt with pro-
priety.
They are as narrow as the narrOwest
string ties, and extremely neat in ap-
pearance. They never come united,
and do not need to be pinned to keep
the bow straight. They. always stay
put as the saying goes. The only
danger is that Ey lady will not be salts
fled with this neat little arrangement,
but will want to make a change soon
for wider and heavier affair, which
will eventually lead to her appropri-
ating her cherished Fido's collar.

A Watch In Her Neck.

1t will now become necessary to re-
wise the Guide to Highway Robbery"
The petty thief who steals along the
street with his sharp eye fixed on the
dainty and valuable little watches that
rich women carry has new trick to
learn. The watch on the front of the
waist is no longer before his eyes. Nor
has it little watch pocket of it's own.
A brand new repository, never heard
of before, has come into fashion--the
neck.
The why and wherefore of this new
fad cannot be discovered. But the
girls are doing it, and they claim it is
the safest and best way of carrying a
watch yet devised. OF course they
ought to know
