Germans are adopting American ma

manufacturer proclaims boldly-prob-
ably for the effect it may have upon
his workmen-that If he cannot adopt
American machinery and methods in
Great Britain he will have to shut I'D
shop. The Germans and English may
be able to compete with each other
with the aid of American machinery
and they may be able to excel all the
world save this great country from

bribery Investigating COMMITTEES
About Ready to Report. .
Columbus, Feb. 2. - The investiga-
ton into the alleged attempt to bribe
Representative Otis to vote for Sena-,
tor Hanna during the late senatorial
contest is rapidly drawing to an end.
The committee held brief session
after the senate adjourned last even
ing. Attorney r. G. Campbell was the
only witness examined. Mr. Campbell
told OF his personal relations toward
Otis. He said he had frequently acted
as attorney for Otis and always con-
sldered Otis a straightforward and
honest man. He said Otis had al
ways been sort of mild Republican.
Campbell said he did not see how
Otis could have voted for Hanna as
Otis was a member of the Free Silver
Grub.
1t is believed the committee will
complete it's work this week and that
report or, rather, two reports, will
be submitted soon. Senator Garfield
will probably submit a minority re-
port, while chairman Burke will sub
NIT the report for the majority.

Unfortunate borrowers frequently
pay such a debt two or three times
over, in the form Of interest, and then,
failing once to yield their monthly
tribute, lose all the belongings Of the
home, from bed to cooking stove. 1t
is therefore distinctly in line with it's
purposes that the Salvation Army
should propose to open Loan offices
where poor man may obtain money,
in an emergency, without enslaving
himself for life to "cutthroat mort
gage" Some churches have already
taken the same step in practical Chris
tianity. Since the business will, when
honestly and considerably managed,
yield a fair return on capital, there
seems no good reason why philan-
thropists in every community should
not unite to keep it out Of the hands

producing, the hardest problem of
civilization will be in a fair way to be
solved. The colony of Victoria, Aus
tralia, has brought about both results
by establishing village settlements
near swamp lands, and maintaining
the settlers while they reclaimed the
waste and raised first crop. Twenty
five hundred families that once were
homeless now live in comfort on these
formerly worthless lands-and the in.
crease in the value Of the reclaimed
tract has more than covered the gov
ernment's expenditure. Over such an
achievement, philanthropy and finance,
who should be better friends than they
are, are fully justified in shaking
hands.

A man will be more grieved for the
loss of desired object than he could
have been pleased with the enjoyment
of it; for though the presence Of an
imaginary good does not always make
us happy, the absence of it may make
us miserable; because in the enjoy
ment of an object we only find that
share Of pleasure which it is capable
of giving us, but in the absence of it
we do not proportion our grief to the
real value it bears, but to the value
our fancies and imaginations set upon
it.
