BINDER TWINE..
Prices are Fixed by the State Prison
Authorities for this Year.

Prices are Fixed by the State Prison
Authorities for this Year.
The board of prison managers fix.
ed binder twine prices for the coming
season, and decided to make q uni.
form price Of 81 cents per pound for
all grades. Manila was sold at that
figure last season. but the price of
the lower grades has been advanced,
owing to a sharp advance in the price
OF fibers used in manufacture. A
large number of orders for twine have
already been booked and circular
will be sent to the purchasers Of
twine explaining the actions of the
board. In part the circular says:
"The management has fixed the
prices of binding twine for the ensu-
ing season at 81 cents per pound. We
are able to make these very low prices
on the two best grades of twine,
namely pure manila aud manila mix
ed. by reason of the fact that we pur-
chased large amountof high grade
manila last fall before the increase
in the value Of that fiber, having pur-
chased on Q market that gives us and
our patrons an average advantage of
2 cents per pound under the present
ruling price for that fiber. This
makes the economic difference so
largely in favar of the two high grades
of twine that you may desire to change
your order and take all or very large
ly from the two best grades. We
guarantee all grades to be strictly
Ifrst-class and to be equal in grade
and quality to any in the market. All
orders may be cancelled in case of
crop failure at any time prior to the
date of shipment"

Bismarck on the War.

Prince Bismarck condemns the wal
outright. He says it is due to sys-
tematic provocation, which finally
became unbearable. He added: {
''The whole ecourse of the Washing
ton administration has been insincere.
NV views of war are we'll understood.
~ l have always held that it is only de-
fensible after all other remedies have
failed. The result of the war cannot
be wholesome either to Europe or
America. Tho United States will be
forced to adopt an intermeddling
policy, leading to unavoidable fric-
tion. The United States has aban-
doned her tradition treaty policy, land,
in order to maintain her position, she
must become military and naval
power-an expensive luxury which
her geographic position rendered un-
necessary. Americas change of
front means retrogression in the high
sense civilization. This, is the main
regretable fact about the war"
Regarding the speech made last
Friday by Joseph Chamberlain, the
British secretary of state for the col
onies, at Birmingham, Prince Bis
mark said: 49,. -. ''
The Importance thereof depends
upon whether Mr.. Chamberlain's pri-
vate opinions are those of. the British
government. Closer Anglo-American
relations are doubtless feasible, but
an alliance is improbable and unser-
viceable to both. Besides, tits mis-
take to call the Americans Saxons.
They are mixed blood-British, Irish,
German, French, and Scandinavian.
The Anglo-Saxon does not even pre-
dominate to- day. This dwelling on
so-called race interests is nonsense in
politics. Look at the Russo French
agreement and the dreibund. Poll
tics are not dictated by such far
fetched sentimentalities. Germany's
duty is plainly to maintain her inter
ests by carefully nursing the good
neighborship Of the European ma
tions.
