hou1d Not Be Overlooked.


There is no reason why the United
States should not rival Great Britain in
the volume of it's carrying t:ade. Amer
lean shipbuilders are certainly not def
ciept in skill; they have shown many
times that they lead the world, for
there are no finer ships atioat than
those launched from American yards.
Nor is the difference in the cost an
insuperable obstacle in the way of
American supremacy. 1t may cost
somewhat less to build a tirst-class ship
on the Tyne than on the Delaware, but
the mere fact that the Japanese govern
ment placed two orders for warships
in this country shows that the differ
ence in cost cannot be so great even
now, and certainly If the industry is
developed it would follow the course
of all other industries in the develop
ment Of cheapening processes. All that
is needed for the building up of the In
duStry is the initial impetus, which
must come from legislation. The 81
kins bill which provides for the pro-
lection CT American ships and the pas
sage Of which would do much to en-
courage American shipping, should not
be overlooked by Congress in the press
of apparently more urgent matters.-

Sheep and Wool Values.

Here in this section of the State I'M
der the influence of the Mckinley tariff
law nearly every farmer kept small
flock of sheep at profit. sheep selling
at from So to IS per head and wool at
from 16 to % cents per pound. But
when the Democrats took charge of the
Government with their free trade ten
denotes, the price of sheep fell to from
$3.50 to $3.50 a head and wool at from
to 9 cents per pound. But now mark
the change! The other day in the town
of Ballston, Saratoga County, sheep
sold at auction at $500 per head, about
double the Democratic free trade
prices. Sheep now are selling at any
where from So to ST per head and wool
is quoted at Boston and New York at
from II to 80 cents per pound. And yet
the prices of wooden goods have not in
creased. But the farmers of the United
States may once again enter the sheep
raising business with profit so long as
the Republican party is in control of
national and State affairs. But the
good results of Republican management
reach further than to the farmers. The
workingmen are witnessing the wooden
mills of the country all In operation and
giving employment to all of the en-
ployes thereof. They can see which
party affords work to labor and which
party took from them their employment
and thus took bread from the mouths
Of their wives and children.-Schenec-

A Test of Lucidity.

A correspondent of the American
Economist at Shreveport, La, calls at
tention to the fact that the editor of
the Shreveport Times has had another
lucid interval and in proof thereof
cites che following:
''Amid all the war excitement Of the
present period, it is noted that there is
remarkable progress in the establish
ment of industries in the South. These
include all kinds Of manufactures and
particularly marked expansion in cot
ton mills. There is a great deal Of
business life and stir in the South. The
equanimity of the people amid the gen
eral public excitement is not less re-
markable than the energetic persist
ency displayed in developing material
progress and advancement"
So far, SO good; but how long will it
be before he resumes his incoherent
speech and in his rawlings forgets all
about the influence which the Dingley
law has had in establishing industrial
prosperity in the South? One of the
most conclusive proofs of lucidity is
the ability to trace the relation OF cause
and effect.

Made Friends Daily.

PERHAPS never was a state paper less
understood than the late message or
the President. The usually acute press
of the land largely missed the point OF
it. and there were members of Congress
to whom it was necessary to explain IL.
The President was variouSly represent
ed ae proposing to help Spain conquer
the insurgents, to feed the CubanS and
nothing more, and as throwing the
whole matter on Congress without any
recommendation. There were some
sharp attacks on the message at first
from quarters which later supported
the Presidents policy, which was dis
tinctly outlined in the document, and
as a fuller understanding of it was OBJ
tanned there was decreasing opposition
to it. Judge Grosscup, of Chicago, IS
one of those who not only saw the pol
icy, but strongly approved it. He said
Of the proposition for armed interven-
ton:
ARMED intervention means that this
government knowing positively that
Spanish rule iS Cuba is ended, inter
yenes for the sake Of its commerce AMI
in the name of humanity to put an end
to the useless and merciless struggle.
This intervention is in the form Of
troops entering Cuba and literally TAX
ing possession of the island. They go
there to restore order, to enable the in
habitants to return to their homes, re-
build their habitationS, renew work on
their plantations, and take up all the
occupa tons of peaceful life. When all
this has been brought about the people
Of the island are prepared to call con-
stitutional convention, in which they,
aryl they alone, may decide what form
of government they will organize for
themselves.
Having decided upon that form
then the cause for Intervention ON the
part of this government ends and our
ton with the people of Cuba then
ceases. save as we recognize the gov
eminent they create and maintain
peaceful relations with them"
The Judge declares there is no exact
parallel in history for the proposed in
tervention. Of the difficulties that have
encompassed the President he said:
at has been almost incomprehensi-
BILE to me how few have appeared to
understand the high purpose with
which the President has worked AMI
the manifestly just tenor of his mes
sage to Congress. He has been in the
position that he was compelled to rec
ognize the condition of Spain herself
at home; the fact that she had lost
Cuba; that anything she could get for
Cuba would be that much found, yet
that the Spanish people themselves
would not support their own govern
ment in recognizing the independence

They'll camp upon historic ground-and

For you'll soon be sent to Cuba from Old

For he licked 'em down in Florida and COW
cred 'em with shame;
So maybe they will understand why now we
jublate
At the thought of starting for 'em from Old
Hickory Jackson's State.
Attention, Americans!
You won't have long to wait
Ere you march away to Cuba from Old Rtck'
DRY JackSon'S State.
Don't you hear the bugles calling? They're
sounding clear and strong,
As down to Chickamauga our new army
sweeps along;
It's glorious procession, for no man would

Attention, Americans!
And strike a winning gait
When you march away to Cuba from Ola

Organ Music and Bach.

Organ music reached it's climax with
Bach; it may, perhaps, be said that all
music did. At any rate, one thing is
certain-viz, if there has been any
progress in music since the day Of Bach,
i. has been due to him. Bach's music is
polyphonic; and polyphony is true mu-
sic. To it's foundation upon this school
is due the fact that there has been no
decadence in music in Germany.
There has been no advance in poly
phony since the days of Bach. Such al
vance as has been made has been in
originality and boldness of meditation
For pure organ music Bach still is,
and probably will always remain, the
greatest of all composers. Even with
all the modern mechanical appliances
that have been attached to the organ,
his works are still very difficult-per-
haps the most difficult Of organ compo-
sitions. He must have been as great an
organist as he was a composer. That
he should have been able to play upon
the organ of his day works so exacting
in technique as his own is simply mar
velous.
1t is one of the phenomena Of musical
history that, while orchestral, operatlc
and other branches of music were In
their infancy in Bach's day, and have
developed since then, Bach brought or
gan music to lis climax. He was not
the small source whence flowed rivu-
let which in time was to expand into a
broad stream; he was the broad stream
itself. The word Bach" in German,
means brook, which led famous Ger
man composer to say punningly that
this great master was not Bach, but
an ocean.-M. Alexandra Guilmant, IN
the Forum.

UUR UUODS ABROAD.
READY SALE OF AMERICAN
WARES IN EUROPE.
The Old World Willing to Take UE-
limited Quantities of Our Food and
Manufactured Products at Prices
Americas Chance for Trade,

Louis Halle is back from England
with 100000 worth of orders for
American made goods as the result of
ten weeks work. He says that the
selling of Yankee products in the moth
er country is as easy as the showing
Of the goods, and that the prices cur
rent in the United States are from 10
to Is per cent lower than in England,
despite the fact that American wages
are much higher.
1T seems to me that one of the main
reasons for the improvement in the
times is due to the vast increase Of i'm
portations," said Mr.. Halle. Il was
amazed at the success had in selling
goods made in Chicago and the East.
The English are crazy after our wares.
The manufacturers there are quickly
learning they cannot compete with the
United States shops. We can under
sell them on the very things they have
been shipping here for half century.
The English buyers insist on having
American goods, and there are many
signs that the United States is rapidly
becoming master of the world in mat
tiers of commerce. This is the reason
for much of the foreign legislation
which is aimed against American IN
dustry and importations from Amer
ica
''This demand for American goods Is
not confined to any one line. My orders
embrace at least a dozen varieties and

be the salvation of the country. we

could consume. The creation of great

will open all the mills and put all the

Queer American Rivers.


Every variety of river in the world
seems to have cousin in our collec-
| ton. What other country on the face
of the globe affords such an assortment
Of streams for fishing and boating and
swimming and skating-besides having
any number Of streams on which you
can do none of these things? One can
hardly imagine rivers like that; but we
| have them, plenty Of them, as you shall
| see.
AS for fishing, the American boy may
| cast his flies for salmon in the Arctic
| circle, or angle for sharks under a trop-
zeal sun in Florida, without leaving
! the domain Of the American flag. But
| the fishing-riyers are not the most curl
| Gus, nor the most instructive as to d.
| versity of climate, soil, and that sort OF
thing-physical geography, the teacher
| calls it.
For instance, if you want to get a
good idea of what tropical heat and
moisture will do for q country, SLIP
your canoe from a Florida steamer
| into OcklaWaha River. 1t is as odd as
| it's name, and appears to be hopelessly
undecided as to whether it had better
continue in the fish and alligator and
drainage business, or devote itself to
raising liveoak and cypress trees, with
Spanish moss for ma actresses as a side
product.
In this tickle minded state it does
little of all these things, so that really
when you are on the river you think
you are lost in the woods, and when
you actually get lost in the woods you
are quite confident your canoe is at last
on the river.
To say that such river overfoWs it's
| banks would hardly be correct; for that
| would imply that it was not behaving
itself; besides, it hasn't any banks-or,
at least, very few! The fact is, those
| peaceful Florida rivers seem to wan
der pretty much where they like over
| the pretty peninsula without giving Of
| tense; but if Jack Frost take such a
| liberty-presto! you would see how the
| people get after him with weather bull
| Ietins and danger signals and formida-
| bic smudges. SO the Ocklawaha River
and a score of it's kind roam through
the woods-or maybe it is woods that
| roam through them-and the moss
sways from the live oaks, and the cy-
| press trees stick their knees up through
| the water in the oldest way imagin-
able-St Nicholas.

b Where hovers DER the nation mighty cloud
Of war,
A threatening storm is coming, we see it
from afar,
And many hearts are anxious, all ready for
the fray;
There are thousands all in order, the Blue
beside the Gray,
And while the drums are beating and from
the bugle's mouth
4 call ''to arms" is sounding, from the North
and from the South,
There blends mighty chorus, one long and
loud refrain:
"When we strike for Cuba Libre, remember,
boys, the Maine!"
In this chorus are the voices of men with
many scars,
Who battled in the Southland against the
stripes and stars;
There are voices of the veterans who batt!ed
for the North,
Who wore the blue at Shiloh and faced the
lannon's mouth.
They followed different banners and differ
ent anthems gave,
The South sang for the Southland, the North
for Mortimer brave;
But now they are united, have one chorus,
one refrain:
"When we strike for Cuba Libre, remember,
boys, the Maine!
Mothers, sisters, sweethearts, when you hear
the war alarms,
And the drummer beats "to rally" and the
bugle calls ito arms,
And you hear the tramp of thousands from
the North and from the West,
From the valley and the Southland, hasten

When you see your dear ones leaving and
marching to the fray
And your farewelis all are spoken and your
tears are brushed away,
Let your voices blend in chorus, in one long

Protection Convincing It's Enemies.

notes the vanishing Of the out-and-out

papers are not showing their belief in
the Dingley law, but, indirectly, they
have made their way into the field OF
protection. The Post is greatly delight
nal advocating the policy of protection
or subsidy in it's approval of an act Of
the Legislature axemptlng new manu-
featuring enterprises which may come
to Louisville from taxation for five
years. AT the present time the Post
regards the Galveston News as the
only free trade paper in the South.
